If they are going to have Ash marry someone at this point of time, it’s going to be Serena. If they intended for Ash to eventually come around and go for any other pokegirl then good storywriting says they should never have made a Serena-type character - they should have kept on their path of writing girls that can be interpreted as platonic relationship. Otherwise they’ll have to face the extra complication of having to sort out a Bad End for one (and just one) of the characters, as opposed to just Normal ends for everyone but the winner. So like it or not amourshipping is going to be canon
Actually, if we're to have the "canon" debate...then it is the Aureliashippers who'll have the last laugh.
Lillie's attempted goodbye to Ash has one of the heaviest romantic implications of all goodbyes more so than XY, which was not consensual and more like fanfiction.
Also, if you're claiming to the biggest detractor, then Latias also has a better chance than any XX chromosome humans in the franchise.
Misty and Serena don't have a chance compared to her. She can fly, she trusts Ash with her life, she's a Pokemon and we all know Ash loves Pokemon because they're not as complex as humans... *nudge nudge, wink wink*
Hell, even Lana has an infinitely higher chance!
