Yeah there's no excuse for removing that piece of music.I really hope they don't take it away for the dub. Especially when they played Lysandre's theme...for, well Lysandre.

Having watched the Subbed version, it's beginning to look like there's little chance for the people who have clung onto Alain rematching Ash and Ash winning the Championship trophy. Ash himself said the past doesn't matter and that he believed in the Alain he knew rather then the guy who supposedly was helping cause the end of the World.
I very much trust Aeon's subs and the opening to the episode said that Ash was kidnapped along with Alain. Kind of like Alain was pegged as the underdog vs Ash in their league match. Meh, different strokes for different folks... not everyone needs to have the exact same mentality.Depending on how accurate the sub is though, especially at this early time. The past doesn't matter when the present is at stake. The issue with Alain here is that he went into "It's all my fault" phase and never actually bothers to help until Satoshi reminds him such. That said though, the past has consequences and in order to let go, he must unlearn everything he had learned under Team Flare and start anew.
I don't quite understand the life lesson there... I understand you need to learn to lose, but Alain beat Ash fair and square. No one goes into a match outright stating losing is okay. Any other match Alain losing might have been alright, but when you think long and hard about it, having that winning mentally in the most important battle tournament of the Region is actually a good thing to have. Alain didn't participate in the league to help Flare (although it did help since he fought Mega Users), he went there to face Ash and to redeem himself for Mairin. He had no ill intent entering the league.... why should what's happening reflect on his win?The trophy and title is something that I still see Alain casting it into the winds, for it's a reminder of his old mentality of "Never losing" given how it's earned. For Alain, he would want one last rematch with Ash after all of this is said and down. If not a chance to give the trophy to someone who guided him in his darkest hour, then certainly a chance to rediscover his epiphany that he so ignored during the Kalos League finals.

If they arrive in one piece at the Labs then I'm certain next week will be the one. Based on XY's internal continuity so far, I'm also expecting that Gojika's specific statement that they would play an important role will not go unfulfilled - I just hope it transpires into something substantial over the next 3 episodes because I'm super greedyRegarding Team Rocket, I am loving how they are doing things, BUT I am a bit disappointed they aren't doing more things! I know it is completely understandable and we should be patient, but I want action. I want them to take their disguises off and to show their Team Rocket uniforms
Ooooooooooh nice spot!(I haven't checked it, but this is for sure the longest time we have seen Team Rocket without their uniforms, right? For the whole League and now for the Team Flare arc).
Alain is not giving his trophy over. That is it. He and Ash might have a rematch but I doubt it. Alain won it fair and square. What happened after the league has happened after the league. The main thing is Alain finally realize the truth and error of his way which allowed him to turn on Lysandre.
First of all, I'm pretty certain that trophy is smashed to pieces underneath the remains of the stadium right now.
Second, I also wish people would stop going on and on about the match because in the grand scheme of things its not important... stopping the destruction of the Pokemon world is the only thing that matters right now. I'm pretty certain that Satoshi and Alan haven't thought once about the match since the initial attack, and in the end I'm also pretty sure that Alan considers Satoshi his superior in every way which is really important.
Yep. It may not have happened in the way we wanted, but Alain's been humbled now. Ash is doing phenomenally well here for a runner up.Yep, agreed. The league is over. Alan won. Done.
I can't believe there are still people in denial about this. Like WatcherMark said, the important thing now is saving Kalos and that'll probably end the XYZ series.
Actually no it didn't and Ash is not Alain superior. Alain is far better than Ash in terms of pokemon battles. If it is about right/wrong then Ash has the edge but Ash is far from superior.First of all, I'm pretty certain that trophy is smashed to pieces underneath the remains of the stadium right now.

There is no inferior/superior here. Ash maybe better in terms of moral beliefs and certain ways of raising pokemon but Alain is better in terms of strength and pokemon battles. Ash can never be superior especially as he now lost 6 leagues in a row (excluding orange islands league).There are people who are strong but foolish and people who are weak but wise. One has to look at Anakin Skywalker from Star Wars. He is considered to be potentially the most powerful Jedi in the galaxy, but his pride gets the better of him and he is defeated in single combat against his former mentor, Obi-Wan Kenobi. There was no doubt of who was the superior person.
In the context of this episode, Ash is the one who leads. Ash is the one who inspires and opens Alain's eyes to see the truth about strength. Due to that, there is no doubt of who is the superior and who is the learner.

Still doesn't change the fact that Ash will never be superior to those stronger than him.Considering how close the last battle was, how Ash and Greninja manages to break free of their bonds without anyone's help and the implication that Ash-Greninja is a lot stronger than previously realized, it's only a matter of time before that gap is closed (just like Sawyer close the gap between him and Ash in their third battle).
And really, superior doesn't translate into who is more powerful or who won more battles. Ritchie doesn't have powerful Pokémon like Ash does (looking at Charizard) in their League battle, but he is a superior in terms of responsibility and maturity (which Ash lacks and cost him the battle). Ash looks up to him as a result. And now it's Alain's turn in XYZ.
