When the last time Pokemon had a powerful female challenger around Ash's age ???
I called Ash's profession ''Challenger'' Because if I said Trainer then you would use Zoey , Maylane ,Duplica, Shauna, Dawn , May etc as example .
I talking about a girl who also participate in Gym battle and trying to win Pokemon League .
Honestly , I can't remember anyone after Maecy from Jotho league .
Although there were some challenger But they ether a newbie trainer Or a gag rival like Bianca & Cassy .
Its ironic that this anime didn't had a single powerful female Challenger around Ash's age for 15 years.
When XY started , I was sure there going to be a powerful female challenger but now I doubt if Ash going to have any rival at all .
Writer could create another Giselle who even more stubborn , Meaner, arrogant , Prideful , strong , Prettier & antagonistic then Giselle as Ash's rival.
Writer already recycle that ''Gliger-man'' from Jotho 2 time So what is the problem in recycling Giselle.
Or Then could create a female rival with Ash's Snivy's Personality . A girl who has reddish brown hair with long side Ponytail.
