This can turn out good or bad. I'm jumping on the pessimism boat. *jumps*
This "special training" from Jasmine (bet she's in there because she's at Sunyshore City in the games, and not a hint that the group is going to Johto after this) may mean that Kenny have a chance of beating Ash.
I feel it's favoring Kenny over Ash. Ash is just gonna suck up to another loss, by Kenny this time (which is embarrassing compared to Paul's).
^^ Now what you said, since we've had a series of episodes in this generation that are repeats of older episodes, this might be the case again.
Perhaps Dawn will say no in the meantime, but after they break up to go their separate ways, they'll go together a la Drew and May? I still find this a forced relationship than anything though. May and Drew weren't like that. Kenny's forcing this. It doesn't make this ship a valid one.
