What game's Hero should lose everything to a rival or young upstart?

1) Pokemon. Just for easy use let's just call him Ash like the protagonist Anime Counterpart. Possible storyline: Having finished off the region's Elite Four and becoming the region's Champ. Ash heads home to his starter town only to find a Youngster trainer he had never faced before. Wanting to go easy on the lad Ash decides to use only one of his Pokemon. He even accepts a bet with the Youngers that the Winner can take all the other's Pokemon, not that he planned to do it if he won. Ash forgets that the Pokemon he decide to use had a hard time during his final battle with his rival and was both asleep and near knock out, letting the kid's level 3 bug Pokemon beat Ash's level 19 Magicarp. As the bet did not specify that the Pokemon the other gained having to be held by the other the Younger claims all of Ash's Pokemon he has caught since he started his Pokemon Journey, leaving Ash with not even a single Pokemon to use to start catching collecting others again.

2) Legend of Zelda Possible storyline, set in Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword, somehow Groose gains the upper hand possibly winning the contest at the start of the game to become Zelda's Chosen Hero, or maybe after he arrives on the surface he actually saves Zelda from something leaving the reincarnated Goddess to fall for the bully

3) Final Fantasy has too many possible storylines where the hero is toppled from his place at the top of the pecking order by some random NPC or low-level bandit/enemy

4) Mario, Princess Peach could just as easily end up falling for Luigi or even Bowser as she waits for Mario to come save her
