That is why Ash was also paired against Steven who was left behind back in Hoenn, then they had to keep Cynthia on life support because she is the only popular girl of the group and had another heckin epic Lucario, taking out every female in the early stage would have been "problematic".
Alain had a mandatory humiliation ritual because of the schizo chimpout the XY season had after he defeated Ash in the finals, which also lead to Ash being automatically scripted to win the Alola tournament, probably brainstormed just for him and for this reason.
