Ash has grown stronger since the Kalos League.Leon trounced Alain, who managed to beat Ash with a Mega Pokémon that was beaten soundly by Leon's normal Charizard.

It will be imo. Lucario will be Ashs strongest ever. Originally I thought that Lucario does not have the feats to be stronger than Greninja yet now I think it beating Raihan’s Duraludon makes it stronger than Greninja.And personly i think Lucario is stronger then Greninja.
I would also expect the same of Alain. He doesn't look to have slacked off since the Kalos League and has even gotten a new Charizardite X. And Ash is using newer Pokémon who don't have the same experience as his older aces, most of who have battled in more than one region or league and even for the ones that have not, we know Infernape has not stopped training and Greninja is still quite strong and able to battle. Even if Ash has an uphill battle, the obstacle must seem to be surmountable. In his previous battles, Leon was, indeed, strong, but still looked to be surmountable, especially if it was anything other than a one-on-one battle. Now, the writers look to be artificially buffing him up to seem truly unbeatable so if or when Ash beats him, it won't look like it was a realistic possibility unless he uses some of his older reserves. Now, that could still be a one off if he has a challenge in the form of the victor of the Lance and Diantha battle, but if not, then it will look increasingly unrealistic for Ash to have a chance against Leon if he only uses his Journeys team.Ash has grown stronger since the Kalos League.
So then I got you wrong, sorry.Excuse me, when and where did I ever call Cynthia old?? I called her a mentor archetype, something that any person of any age can be, with the only requirement being that they need to be older and more experienced than whoever they're mentoring: Brock himself was a sort of mentor for Ash in the early series, and he's only 15 years old.
Please don't go and put words in my mouth.
One could interpret it like you wanted to say Cynthia is like those soccer players in their late 30s who already reached their full potential a long time ago and now they no longer are what they used to be perfomance-wise.Cynthia is a mentor type character who clearly reached her zenith years ago in-universe.
Sorry, I'm not sure how my words could be interpreted that way, let alone that I was being rude. Maybe I should have been more clear, but the "rude" comment didn't feel warranted, seeing how I wasn't insulting anyone or anything.So then I got you wrong, sorry.
However, you must admit this line of yours was misleading:

I found it "rude" because Cynthia's time is far from being "over" and nobody can know for sure that she's "reached her zenith" already. There's really nothing in the show indicating that!
Who knows if the PWC had already existed during DPPt? So, you could even argue that since those good old days in Sinnoh, Cynthia has made considerable progress by going all the way from Sinnoh Champion to number 2 in the world. I absolutely can't see why she should have reached her zenith already.
If Iris is to use a third Dragon, it should be Garchomp.Excadrill? Pls only dragons for Iris!!!
Goodra is a nice idea that i very support but isn't the chance big that they use an other dragon like Druddigon?
I know what you mean and i didn't find Druddigon a good opinion. Garchomp: Another offscreen Phase 2 Evo. Nah... Two Garchomps. Isn't it a little boring? Ok, eventually not, for me its just that i havent a bind to him. But thats me!!If Iris is to use a third Dragon, it should be Garchomp.
Excadrill vs Gastrodon: Gastrodon is recalled
Excadrill vs Milotic: Milotic wins
Haxorus vs Milotic: Haxorus wins, is recalled
Goodra vs Gastrodon: Goodra wins
Goodra vs Garchomp: Garchomp wins
Haxorus vs Mega Garchomp: Mega Garchomp wins
If this happens I will be very salty because Iris’s Goodra got a KO in a major tournament before Ash’s, Excadrill jobs and Goodra gets a win instead, and powerscaling wise Cynthia should destroy Iris worse than Leon did Alain. It should all be one shots on Cynthia’s side or powerscaling makes no sense than it did before.
