Alain in “Coming Apart at the Dreams!”

Mairin. Chespin. Is this the reason I had all those battles? All of them FOR THIS?!

[Note: The whole purpose of Alain's victory at the Kalos League was to show an example of pyrrhic victory- winning at a terrible price. Alain may have been the better battler than Ash, but he was not a better person due to bringing destruction to Kalos.]
