Ash will beat Paul and then face our mysterious Darkrai trainer (who kinda reminds me of N from Black and White or maybe some trainer we'll never see again. He will watch Ash's and Paul's battle along with his Darkrai/Zorua/Zoroark and will start to create a strategy to beat him, during this part, we'll find out who they really are and what Darkrai/Zorua/Zoroark actually is. When there battle comes Darkrai/Zorua/Zoroark will turn out to be Darkrai/Zorua/Zoroark and will beat all of Ash's pokemon up to Pikachu, after a close battle pikachu uses Volt Tackle as Darkrai/Zorua/Zoroark use Dark Void/Night Burst (depending on what the pokemon actually is) and will both collide, they will both be standing, but then Pikachu falls 1 second before Darkrai/Zorua/Zoroark so Darkrai/Zorua/Zoroark trainer wins stopping Ash from winning the league again keeping the anime alive , he then suggests to Ash he goes to Isshu and after a day of dossing around Ash decides to, Brock them dissapears somewhere, probably back to Pewter City and Dawn goes to Hoenn to compete in contests to be used as very early advertisement for Ruby/Saphire remakes at the end of Gen V, Ash then goes to Isshu on a ferry (How Original!) with Pikachu as his only sidekick and Team Rocket follow along as usual. The Best Wishes saga then begins...
