Sky battles would have been cool to explore, especially when it seemed that Serena enjoyed them during that one episode and it would have expanded more on a rather weak game mechanics, but I can see why they didn't go that route. Serena would have needed to capture more Pokemon that could fly, which would kind of limit her options, and most importantly, they'd need to have a lot of areas where Sky battles were possible given that the trainer was up in the sky along with their Pokemon. Including various areas where that would be possible would be probably more difficult than more places for Pokemon Showcases.
The fact that X/Y didn't really have much of anything besides Gym battles was a huge problem for what the anime could do for Serena. I just hope Sun/Moon can have some other sidequest, be it either Contests or something brand new, for the female lead to do in order to potentially avoid the same problems that Serena's character and storyline had.
