Why is everyone surprised. It's a tradition.
Pokémon literally runs on traditions. Especially the anime.
>See: team rocket blasting off again, sending his pokes to oak, getting new friends, losing ect.

If you actually watched the show you would understand the hype, it really felt like it would happen this time
Well after watching the anime and sawing what they did with serena I kinda saw this coming, even thinking I still had hopes he would win.
