if Ash battled Alan he'd miss out on battling one of the champions, and to the writers, seeing Gmax Charizard battle Charizard X feels like fanservice.
I still maintain Ash could battle Alan outside the tournament. Remember in SM when Ash and Kiawe promised to battle each other in the Alola...
Tbh it's probably better if Ash gets to battle Alan outside the tournament. People don't care about Ash beating Alan's other pokemon, they just want a 1 on 1 of Greninja/Mega Charizard.
So who knows. Iwane drew an AshGreninja picture recently and while it doesn't mean much, a 1 on 1 training...
Those montages that had Lance, Cynthia and Leon on them held true to the end then. The writers spoiled the 3 Master Class opponents for Ash as early as the Bea episodes.
