It's nothing like that. As I said before, Ash is more strongly connected to Darwin than Oak is. Oak studies the relationships between Pokemon and humans, not evolution itself. He was never even able to complete the Pokedex. He had to leave that in the hands of younger trainers. In fact, Oak himself said in Gold/Silver/Crystal/HeartGold/SoulSilver that Elm was the one to go to when it came to evolution. We've seen Ash experience and study Pokemon evolve more than Oak has. The only connection between him and Darwin would be old professors. Ash vs Darwin also works as someone who studies the process of evolution within creatures throughout the years against someone who has access to evolving whatever creature he desires but almost never does. So it's like mandatory evolution vs withdrawn evolution. There's probably a better way to explain that, though, but I'm not good at explaining things at all anyways.
