Since when battling has taken a backseat for Ash, though? He has always looked for some good challenges, ever since he was a rookie Trainer. So, the fact that battling, which is his passion as a Pokemon Trainer, has somehow become less important to Ash screams Out Of Character to me.
Besides, the whole Trial Challenge is one of the most relevant elements of the SM games, so this lackluster treatment in-anime doesn't give it any justice.
On the first two islands, yeah.
On the last two though, it takes a backseat to the plot.
Ula'Ula only has two trials, the main attraction there is Po Town.
And Poni Island only has one trial which isn't even a proper one.
