What if Ash did become a frontier brain?

[Blaine.]

What I mean by this is obvious, but what would be next, would his journey end, what would his team be?

He would alternate his teams.

I think that would make for an eternity of boring anime episodes

I don't think that they'd keep Ash around if he was just going to be the Frontier Brain. He would still be able to travel around, but he'd be tied down to one area and he'd have to face off against challengers. I don't think that would really work with Ash when he always has enjoyed traveling to new places, making new friends and catching more Pokemon. Being a Frontier Brain within his home region would have been a fitting note to end him on, but I don't think it would be something that Ash would believably want to do when he could still travel around more freely.

I'm so glad that he never became one since it sounds like the most boring job ever; having to stay in one single location (unless the battle facility moves like Brandon's did) would stagnate Ash's quest and I can't see him running his own battle facility since he's too immature for a job like that imo. He'd probably swap his Pokemon around and have no set rules for battles though if he had run his own facility.

I've read an interesting fic called From One Side to Another on Fanfiction.net that depicted Ash joining the Battle Frontier after his journey through Sinnoh. The author's spelling and grammar admittedly aren't great but I found it an unique take on what this route could entail.

One idea the author had is that the prospective Brain would spend a few months as an intern under one of the other Frontier Brains, who'd train them up and teach them the ins and outs of running a battle facility. I'd find it unbelievable if Ash wouldn't actually be put through such a program if he had joined them for real. Scott's a smart guy, he'd know Ash might need a leg-up on the management side of the job.

Anabel would be happy.

His facility would probably have no gimmick unlike the others. He'd battle in a straightforward way, but knowing his personality he'd get bored easily and eventually want to travel again instead of staying in one place.
