"A battle takes place in which Antilochus is slain by Memnon and Memnon by Achilles. Eos then obtains of Zeus and bestows upon her son immortality; but Achilles routs the Trojans, and, rushing into the city with them, is killed by Paris and Apollo."

Image 1 - Ash tells Giselle that he has been travelling for 2 months.

Image 2 - There is a 2 month time gap between Ash getting his eighth Kanto badge and the Indigo league starting.

Image 3 - There is 1 month time gap between Ash getting his 5th Johto badge and the Whirl Cup starting.

Image 4 - The Johto league started 3 months after Ash defeated Clair.

Image 5 - The Hoenn league started 3 months after Ash got his last badge.

Image 6 - The Kanto Grand festival started 1 month after May got her last ribbon.

Image 7 - Sinnoh league began 1 month after Ash defeated Volkner.

Image 8 - Unova league began 3 months after Ash got his eighth badge.

Episodes 1 and 2 took place on the same day. Then Ash and Misty went to the Viridian forest. In ep 5, they exit the forest and reach Brock's gym and Ash reveals that he has been travelling for two weeks so far.

None of Ash's pokemon flopped. Everyone contributed to victory. Even Lycanroc who did not defeat anyone still wounded Incineroar and Braviary. In fact Lycanroc wounding Braviary was instrumental in helping Rowlet taking it down.

The person who defeats the 4 gyms and the head leader (Drake is not called a champion either) gets inducted into the hall of fame and gets the title of 'Honoured trainer'. Many trainers in the past have also achieved this.

The first time Ash was referred to as a Champion was when he won the Alola League.

Movie 14 released in two versions is the first pokemon movie to be explicitly confirmed as non-canon to the main series. In BW episode 109 and 110 Ash and Iris express interest in wanting to meet Reshiram and Zekrom, the two pokemon they would have seen in both versions of the movie. The only time Ash mentions to have seen Zekrom is from the very first episode as well.

We only really see 3 battles. I could understand them skipping a lot if Ash was going to win and so they wanted to focus on the semi final and final. But Ash didn't even win. They could have shown lower level battles like Ash vs Astrid giving Ash's pokemon than other Pikachu or Greninja good feats.

This is the only league where Ash regressed in his ranking. He went from top 4 in Sinnoh league to top 8 in Unova.

Image 1 - the condition of Greninja after defeating Mega Sceptile. He was exhausted and was panting heavily.

Image 2 and 3 - the condition of Charizard after defeating Greninja. He looks as healthy as when the battle started despite taking several hits from both Pikachu and Greninja.

Clearly Greninja was far weaker than Charizard.

Ash inspired Alain to join the league in ep 116. In ep 123, Alain defeated Korrina and got his 8th badge. So within a span of 7 episodes, Alain collected 8 badges.

"And after sacrificing to Hades, and Persephone, and Tiresias, he (Odysseus) journeyed on foot through Epirus, and came to the Thesprotians, and having offered sacrifice according to the directions of the soothsayer Tiresias, he propitiated Poseidon. But Callidice, who was then queen of the Thesprotians, urged him to stay and offered him the kingdom; and she had by him a son Polypoetes. And having married Callidice, he reigned over the Thesprotians, and defeated in battle the neighboring peoples who attacked him. But when Callidice died he handed over the kingdom to his son and repaired to Ithaca, and there he found Poliporthes, whom Penelope had borne to him. When Telegonus learned from Circe that he was a son of Ulysses, he sailed in search of him. And having come to the island of Ithaca, he drove away some of the cattle, and when Ulysses defended them, Telegonus wounded him with the spear he had in his hands, which was barbed with the spine of a sting-ray, and Ulysses died of the wound.” But when Telegonus recognized him, he bitterly lamented, and conveyed the corpse and Penelope to Circe, and there he married Penelope. And Circe sent them both away to the Islands of the Blest."

It didn't even seem to have done any real damage to Charizard. Charizard looked as healthy at the end as he did in the start.
