With Scarlet and Violet coming up, Sword and Shield's time as the main Pokemon games is coming to an end, and there's little reason to keep shilling Leon as the undefeated unbeatable champion when his game is no longer the most current one, so there is a possibility he loses here. Serena recently came back briefly too, and I think that's the sort of thing that wouldn't happen unless Ash's time as the main protagonist is coming to an end.

This isn't going to happen, but it would be funny if Leon was disqualified for not showing up to the stadium, because he has no sense of direction and goes to a different region from where the tournament is being held.
