[Anime] Ash and the Elite 4

Does anyone else think that Ash will face the Elite 4 in this generation of the anime? It seems as if this is the first time they're actually introducing all of the Elite 4 members in the anime, as if saying that he'll face them in the future.

Kanto: Ash met Lorolei (Prima), Bruno, and Lance, as well as Agatha, although he didn't meet her until he was done with Kanto, and Blue, although I'm not sure if he really "counts," seeing as he was never really part of the Elite 4. (So Ash did technically meet everyone, although he didn't see Agatha until after everything was done.)

Johto: Ash never saw Will nor Koga (while he was acting as an Elite 4 member) or Karen, although he did meet Bruno and Lance. (Saw 2, didn't see 3)

Hoenn: Never saw Sidney, Pheobe, or Glacia. Ash did see Drake, Steven, and Wallace, although he didn't see the latter until he was in Sinnoh. (Saw 2 - technically 3, didn't see 3)

Sinnoh (going off of the Japanese version): Ash has seen Aaron, Flint, Lucian, and Cynthia, and is set to see Bertha on April 1st. (Seen 4, set to see the last 1)


Going off of that, then, if he does face the Elite 4, do you think he'll defeat them? If he loses, specify who you think he'll lose against.
