It seems like just as in the other thread, "never bet on Ash" is just empty cowardice at this point.
Noted.

I would bet but the Rebecca bet has scarred me for lifeOne Piece Era...it's betting time!
As you may know if you've been keeping up with current Pokemon events, Ash Ketchum is currently competing in the Alola Pokemon League. And three years after his defeat in the Kalos League final, some people, myself included, think that Ash is definitely winning the league this time.
It's been an fun tournament so far and after a scare in the quarter-finals, Ash is now in the semi-finals with his two rivals and an antagonist:
Now that all the chumps have been weeded out and only the heavyweights remain, the tournament is finally getting really interesting. So it's time to bet!
There's already a bet being put in place in the thread linked above but so far, not many are joining in and the stakes don't seem to have been properly established. There's also a surprising lack of official entrants who believe Ash will lose. That's why I want to setup a bet of our own here, with stakes unique to this thread.
THE OPTIONS ARE THE FOLLOWING:
THE STAKES:
- Ash will win the Alola Pokemon League (what I'm betting on)
- Ash will lose the Alola Pokemon League
For me and me alone:
If I guessed wrong and "Ash will lose the Alola Pokemon League" is true, then...FOR EVERY SINGLE PERSON who bet correctly, I will wear the following avatar (or whatever else ends up being the final pick in that thread) for A MONTH:
I repeat, for every person who guesses correctly that Ash loses the league, I will wear this for a month (so two victors = 2 months, 10 victors = 10 months) but I'm capping it at 12mo/1year. Every additional winner past that adds 1 week to my punishment.
For people who incorrectly guess "Ash will win the Alola Pokemon League":
You will wear the avatar above (or whatever else replaces it in that thread) for 1 week.
For people who incorrectly guess "Ash will lose the Alola Pokemon League":
You have to read the manga Black Clover up to the most recent released chapter when the Alola Pokemon League is over, with no obligation to read past that point.
So these are the stakes. These are unique to this thread and not tied to the ones in the other Ash thread. Entering the bet here means nothing for the other side so you don't have to worry about another set of stakes.
What will you do? Do you believe in Ash Ketchum finally winning a Pokemon League? Have you lost all faith in Ash? Do you just want to add to my potential punishment?

Anyone can enter (including Team Rocket), it starts out with a big, messy battle Royale, all the trainers including Ash don't even have a full team of six, and even then they have 1v1 battles in there as well.

Bet!!
On its own merit, it's not bad at all. It's an interesting setup and the fights are fun. It's just not the same kinda league as the previous ones since Alola as no gym system. So the previous matches didn't match up to the intensity of prior leagues. But now all the scrubs are out and the only ones who remain are the ones who've been actually taking battling seriously for the whole series.

I'd enter the league with a single Pidgey. Might not win, but people will be talking about the guy with the Pidgey that one year for generations.
Yup.
Stunner911 look I get it. I was Rebecca'd too. Many of us were. But that was a long time ago and we gotta take brave little baby steps. So that we can become whole again. So that we can find purpose again. Sooner or later, you gotta move on...you gotta move on. Otherwise, we should've stayed Rebecca'd forever.
That's fine. If you don't think he'll win and bet, it's not your avatar that's at stake anyway.

Unless it's story-significant, I think we're just ignoring that. Oda has a bad history with romanization.
I actually like the new one and I don't think it needs to be in spoilers Raftel is now Laught Tale.
Also can't remember if the anime emphasizes this but Noland but you say it like No Land

Yeah i like the new name too.
True, but maybe with this being in the film someone actually checked to make sure that is really what Oda meant.

Reminds me of "Mary Geoise"...still Mariejois to me.
I'll be calling it "Rave Tail" from now on

Noted.
And finally the bet is made interesting because before Abu stepped up and all we had were you other "Never bet on Ash but never bet against him either" cowards, I basically had nothing to lose at all considering if no one bet against Ash, I wouldn't have had to wear the avatar even if he lost.
Here's how things stand so far:

We don't know yet but semi-finals start next week. Maybe those get done in one ep maybe not but we've got at least 2 weeks.
(And I would guess 4 weeks at most)
Too late. It's been noted!
Also it's fucking Ash. Relax
Really weird when you actually see it like that huh
This an official entry?
Nah, those 10 episodes suck and I wouldn't even subject anyone to that as punishment for a bet. And the point in part is to get people into Black Clover, which those 10 eps would be the absolute worst thing for.
Anyway, if I let you change sides, I'd have to let Abu too and I can't. Once you've been noted, you've been noted.
(Though incidentally, if 10 episodes = 3-4 hours then in that same amount time you'd actually get really far in the manga. It really is a surprisingly quick read and I've seen many catch up quick)
Ash is most likely gonna win, mostly due to how unique and different the structure/build up this is compared to previous Leagues.
Ash will probably lose the Exhibition match against Kakui/Royal Mask

Every time lmao

Silfer I'm not a big Pokemon guy but my the homie is and I heard some shit so put me down for him not winning alongside poor Abu
