Ash better get some of his old friends back, like Snorlax. His Sinnoh team really sucks right now, especially since he ditched Gliscor.

Ash should only use his Sinnoh team against Paul, mainly to show how strong they got since their last 6 on 6.

First time I read this I assumed Shinji off Bleach :)

I knew this going to happen.

Guess this means Barry lost... =/
I wonder if Ash/Satoshi will win this time...

It comes. The real decisive battle.

Hopefully that Ash use some of his reserves to battle Paul in his Sinnoh League Duel.

Hopefully Ash kicks Paul's butt for good, this time. Sinnoh team needs its revenge! ^^

I can't help but feel bad for Barry, but I knew this would happen anyway xD I hope Ash can at least do better than their last 6 on 6

Hm..I say Paul will win. I can't picture Ash beating him.

Paul has beaten Ash so many times.. I don't even think Ash have one win at all, but maybe a few ties. I am really hoping Ash beats Paul. I'm going to guess Ash beats Paul with two pokemon left (and Infernape is not one of them :p). I hate it when it always come down to the last pokemon.

Ash might actually win this. There's always a chance.

And for those who say Ash has never beaten Paul...

He did actually get one victory facing Paul in a PokeRinger competition (DP118, if I recall), in which Staravia evolved.

Ash will win this, it is confirmed as the summary for the sinnoh league notes that "Ash with fight a trainer with a legendary Pokemon". Which means Ash will fight the LT in the battle after Paul.

Paul could be it 7_7

Ash needs to win.

Edit: Scratch that, a trainer with a Darkrai is entering. Ash still needs to win the League though.
