Its universal voice actress is ''[[Ikue Ohtani]]''. However, in some episodes during the first season of the English dub, [[Rachael Lillis]] provided its voice when the original Japanese track couldn't be saved.<br /> <br /> ==In the anime==<br /> ===History===<br /> [[File:Ash Pikachu first meeting.png|left|thumb|A flashback of {{Ash}} and Pikachu meeting]]<br /> In the first episode of the [[Pokémon anime]], ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', Ash woke up late the day he was supposed to go to [[Professor Oak]]'s laboratory to obtain his first Pokémon. When he arrived at the lab, the three available starter Pokémon, {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, and {{p|Squirtle}}, had already been taken by other Trainers who arrived earlier. Seeing that Ash was disappointed, Professor Oak gave him Pikachu, which did not take a liking to its new Trainer. It refused to go into a [[Poké Ball]], and when Ash failed to catch a wild Pokémon, it laughed at him. However, by the end of the episode, Ash gained Pikachu's trust by protecting it from an attack by a flock of {{p|Spearow}} and rushing it to the [[Pokémon Center]]. Pikachu and Ash soon became inseparable. In ''[[EP039|Pikachu's Goodbye]]'', Ash gave Pikachu his consent to remain in a forest filled with Pikachu, but Pikachu returned to Ash's side.<br /> &lt;br clear=&quot;left&quot;&gt;<br /> [[Image:Ash's 1st Poké Ball.png|thumb|right|200px|Pikachu's [[Poké Ball]], which has a special lightning bolt mark. It would appear this Poké Ball is a &quot;starter Poké Ball&quot;, and Ash has been given an empty Poké Ball, due to the Poké Balls for {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, and {{P|Squirtle}} still being there when Ash arrives.]]<br /> In general, Pikachu as a species are not particularly powerful, but Ash's Pikachu is an anomaly, overcoming odds in {{pkmn|battle}} numerous times. In ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'', it defeated [[Brock's Onix]] with an {{type2|Electric}} attack that triggered the sprinkler system causing Onix to be drenched in water, one of its weaknesses. In ''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown]]'', Pikachu fought [[Lt. Surge]]'s {{TP|Lt. Surge|Raichu}} and lost. During a resulting hospital stay, it refused to become Raichu's equal by evolving via a {{evostone|Thunderstone}}, and in the second battle, Pikachu overcame Raichu by using its superior speed. In ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'', {{MTR}} remarked that Pikachu's power &quot;far exceeds its evolutionary level.&quot; Ash's Pikachu has also defeated very powerful Pokémon that Ash's other Pokémon were unable to, such as {{p|Dragonite}} and {{p|Metagross}}. It has helped Ash win innumerable battles and [[Gym]] and {{pkmn|League}} matches. <br /> <br /> However, at times, {{p|Pikachu}} has lived up to its species' frail and brittle strengths, particularly in Gym battles where it was defeated with relative ease by its opponent; for example, it was overpowered very easily by [[Lt. Surge's Raichu]], [[Sabrina's Kadabra]], [[Blaine's Magmar]], [[Falkner's Pidgeot]], [[Bugsy]]'s {{p|Scyther}}, [[Whitney's Miltank]], [[Clair's Dragonair]], [[Roark's Rampardos]] and [[Fantina's Drifblim]]. It also drew against [[Winona]]'s {{p|Pelipper}}, and struggled against [[Crasher Wake's Floatzel]].<br /> <br /> Pikachu is extremely loyal to Ash, and while it is not always immediately trusting of strangers, it is generally friendly to humans and Pokémon alike. It acted as a guardian and big sibling to [[Misty's Togepi]], and has been seen mediating and even breaking up fights among other Pokémon, such as in ''[[PK01|Pikachu's Vacation]]''. In ''[[Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', Pikachu, {{MTR}}, and Meowth's clone were the only Pokémon not to participate in the giant battle; Pikachu stood motionless as its clone repeatedly slapped its face. <br /> <br /> However, even Pikachu has had exceptions to this rule. During the Hoenn Saga, Pikachu developed amnesia at one point and sided with [[Team Rocket]] for a while. Later within the same series, Pikachu was possessed by the Red Orb and controlled by Groudon, nearly causing a disaster. On several occasions, Pikachu has developed an &quot;electric flu&quot; causing it to become overcharged, and extremely powerful. During these instances, Pikachu will sometimes attack its friends and Ash. In all of these cases, Pikachu did not intentionally mean harm upon anyone.<br /> <br /> Since Ash's first encounter with [[Team Rocket]] in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'', Pikachu has been pursued by the trio of [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}}. Throughout the series, it has been Jessie, James and Meowth's desire to steal this Pokémon from Ash and present it to [[Giovanni|their boss]]. To do this, they have come up with many schemes. Though they try, try, and try some more, every last one of their plots fail, usually with the help of Ash, his friends, other Trainers, an [[Officer Jenny]], or even themselves (such as in the [[DP001|first episode]] of the {{series|Diamond &amp; Pearl}}).<br /> <br /> As shown in a handful of episodes, the first being ''[[EP042|Showdown at Dark City]]'', Pikachu has a special fondness for ketchup, but it will eat and enjoy almost any other human or Pokémon food. A running joke in the anime also seems to be the destruction of a female character's [[bike]] with one of Pikachu's {{m|Thunderbolt}}s at the beginning of each series, which then causes her to {{ashfr|follow Ash}} for the remainder of the series. This has happened to [[Misty]], {{an|May}}, and {{an|Dawn}} so far.<br /> <br /> Pikachu is the primary mascot of the Pokémon franchise, mostly due to Ash's ownership of it. It appears on nearly all merchandise and promotional material for the series, and became, due to the anime, the [[version mascot]] of and only [[starter Pokémon]] in {{game|Yellow}}.<br /> <br /> Pikachu took a liking to Misty very early in the series, and it has retained this liking of Misty throughout the series, such as when it was very happy to see her in ''[[AG132|The Scheme Team]]''.<br /> <br /> Pikachu became the second non-legendary Pokémon to defeat a [[legendary Pokémon]] in the anime after {{AP|Charizard}}, beating [[Brandon's Regice]] in ''[[AG190|Pace - The Final Frontier]]'', giving Ash his final [[Symbol|Frontier Symbol]].<br /> <br /> Pikachu was also the only Pokémon to come with Ash to [[Hoenn]], and just the same one of only two Pokémon to join Ash on his journey to [[Sinnoh]]. It is worth noting that Ash tried to bring only Pikachu again but {{AP|Aipom}} snuck on board the ship. Up until the capture of [[Dawn's Pachirisu]], Pikachu was the only {{type2|Electric}} Pokémon in the anime owned by a main character.<br /> <br /> In Hoenn, Pikachu learned how to surf. It also learned how to box from Ash in ''[[EP029|The Punchy Pokémon]]''. In Sinnoh, Ash used it during the [[Pokémon Ping Pong Tournament]].<br /> <br /> In Sinnoh, it defeated [[Roark]]'s Onix in the [[Oreburgh Gym]] rematch. Pikachu battled again the [[Pastoria Gym]] battle, where it battled [[Crasher Wake]]'s Gyarados and defeated it with a {{m|Volt Tackle}} to the face. It also battled [[Crasher Wake's Floatzel]] for a moment, allowing [[Ash's Buizel]] time to recover. In ''[[DP102|A Shield with a Twist]]'' Pikachu lost to [[Fantina's Drifblim]] after a fierce battle.<br /> <br /> Pikachu's next major battle after Fantina was when it was used against [[Paul]] in [[DP132]]. First it went up against {{TP|Paul|Magmortar}}; however, when it attacked with {{m|Quick Attack}}, it was {{status|burn}}ed by Magmortar's {{a|Flame Body}} and Pikachu was recalled. Later it went up against Paul's very powerful {{TP|Paul|Ursaring}} and {{status|Paralysis|paralyzed}} it with Pikachu's {{a|Static}}. This actually made things worse for Pikachu as being paralyzed activated Ursaring's {{a|Guts}} ability, and Pikachu found itself completely outmatched by Ursaring's massive power and was defeated and thrown into [[Lake Acuity]], taking it out of the match as well as injuring it.<br /> <br /> ==Moves used==<br /> <br /> {{anmu/h|electric|row=13|align=center|move=Thunderbolt|pic=Pikachu thunderbolt.png}}<br /> {{anmu|electric|ThunderShock|EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!}}<br /> {{anmu|normal|Tackle|x=yes}}<br /> {{anmu|normal|Tail Whip}}<br /> {{anmu|electric|Thunderbolt|EP005|Showdown in Pewter City|rec=yes}}<br /> {{anmu|electric|Thunder|EP042|Showdown at Dark City}}<br /> {{anmu|normal|Quick Attack|EP014|Electric Shock Showdown|rec=yes}}<br /> {{anmu|psychic|Agility|EP014|Electric Shock Showdown}}<br /> {{anmu|steel|Iron Tail|AG013|All Things Bright and Beautifly!|rec=yes}}<br /> {{anmu|electric|Volt Tackle|AG150|May's Egg-Cellent Adventure|rec=yes}}<br /> {{anmu|normal|Slam}}<br /> {{anmu|normal|Double-Edge|EP079|Friend and Foe Alike}}&lt;!--During the Indigo Conference--&gt;<br /> {{anmu|normal|Leer|EP150|Hour of the Houndour|x=yes}}<br /> {{anmu/f|electric|yes|x=yes}}<br /> <br /> ====Moves improvised====<br /> An attack where Pikachu stored electricity in its tail similar to {{m|Tail Whip}} (although Tail Whip doesn't do any damage) was used to defeat [[Lt. Surge's Raichu]] in ''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown]]''<br /> <br /> Thunder Armor was a one-time technique in the episode ''[[AG100|Solid as a Solrock]]'', Pikachu is seen using Thunder on itself while riding Ash's Swellow. This increased their attack power greatly, and they easily overpowered their opponents. <br /> <br /> Volt Tail, a combination of {{m|Volt Tackle}} and {{m|Iron Tail}}, was used in ''[[DP074|Pika and Goliath!]]'' against [[Sho]]'s {{p|Raichu}}.<br /> <br /> &quot;Rocket Punch&quot; was a move that Pikachu used while &quot;boxing&quot; a {{p|Hitmonchan}}. Pikachu glowed red and shot off its boxing gloves, leaving off a trail of smoke. Once the smoke disappears, Pikachu still has its boxing gloves on and flies towards Hitmonchan at high speed.<br /> <br /> Similar to [[Ash's Buizel]] and {{AP|Monferno}}, Pikachu can use its {{m|Thunderbolt}} attack to form a [[Counter Shield]].<br /> <br /> ==In the games==<br /> {{main|Red's Pikachu (game)}}<br /> Pikachu was one of {{Ash}}'s three Pokémon in {{g|Puzzle League}}. {{ga|Red's Pikachu}} in {{game|Yellow}} and the [[Generation II]] games also seems to be based off of it. The Pikachu in the Super Smash Bros. series may be based on Ash's Pikachu.<br /> <br /> ==In the manga==<br /> Pikachu has appeared in two mangas based on the anime, namely ''[[Ash &amp; Pikachu]]'' and ''[[Electric Tale of Pikachu]]''. In both, it was Ash's [[starter Pokémon]], much like the [[EP001|first anime episode]], though in ''Electric Tale'', it was found in Ash's house, not given to him by Oak.<br /> <br /> ==In the TCG==<br /> Ash's Pikachu is featured in the TCG as a {{TCG|Pokémon M|Pokémon}} {{SP|M}}. The following is a list of cards named '''Pikachu {{SP|M}}'''.<br /> {| border=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;border: 1px solid #999; border-collapse: collapse; background: white;&quot; cellspacing=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;2&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background: #{{tcg Lightning color}};&quot; <br /> !Name<br /> !Type<br /> !Level<br /> !Rarity<br /> !Set<br /> !Set no.<br /> |-<br /> | {{TCG ID|Movie Random Pack Promo|Pikachu M|12}} || rowspan=2 | {{e|Lightning}} || 45 || - || {{TCG|Movie Commemoration Random Pack}} (no English release) || 012/022<br /> |-<br /> | {{TCG ID|DPt-P Promo|Pikachu M LV.X|43}} || ''X'' || - || {{TCG|DPt-P Promotional cards}} (no English release) || 043/DPt-P<br /> |}<br /> <br /> ==Trivia==<br /> * Ash's Pikachu is the subject of many 'gamebreaking' abilities that normally do not fit in the general stasis of the games. This includes Pikachu's ability to sometimes hurt {{type2|Ground}} Pokémon with Electric moves (sparking the meme &quot;Aim for the Horn!&quot;), and using moves that do not exist, or moves in a way that do not work in the games, such as the infamous &quot;Thunder Armor&quot;.<br /> * Despite the fact that {{m|Volt Tackle}}, the signature move of its evolutionary line, is in fact an egg move, Ash's Pikachu learned the move &quot;by accident,&quot; when using an electrically-charged {{m|Quick Attack}}.<br /> * Pikachu is Ash's only {{type2|Electric}} Pokémon and was the only Electric-type owned by a main character in the anime until the capture of {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}} by Dawn. However, Pikachu is the only Electric-type Pokémon owned by a main character which can evolve.<br /> * For ''[[DP013|A Staravia is Born]]'', [[Professor Oak's lecture]] is about Ash's Pikachu. He writes this [[Pokémon senryū]] about it: パートナー　サトシとピカチュウ　いいかんじ ''Partners Satoshi and Pikachu: a pleasant feeling''.<br /> * Out of all five regions that Ash visited, [[Kanto]] and [[Hoenn]] are the only ones that Ash started out with just Pikachu. He did try to go to [[Sinnoh]] with Pikachu alone but Aipom followed him. At the beginning of each, Pikachu was also, in some way, injured, and ended up destroying the [[Bicycle|bike]] of a particular girl who would later [[Ash's friends|travel with Ash]].<br /> * Pikachu was the first of Ash's Pokémon to disobey him. Other Pokémon that would do so, and be better remembered for their disobedience than Pikachu, are {{AP|Primeape}} and {{AP|Charizard}}.<br /> * Although Pikachu has battled all the members of the {{p|Electabuzz}} evolutionary family at one time or another, ([[Rudy]]'s Electabuzz, [[Gary's Electivire]] and {{TP|Paul|Paul's Elekid|Electabuzz}}) it has not won even once. However Pikachu has defeated an Electabuzz ([[Dr. Namba]]'s) with the help of [[Sparky]]. On every other occasion, Pikachu fought one-on-one and either tied or lost.<br /> * Ash's act of keeping Pikachu outside its Poké Ball on a permanent basis has been mimicked by several other characters in the anime. <br /> ** [[Ritchie]], when he first meets Ash, keeps [[Sparky]] inside of its ball, but later is shown to carry it on his shoulder much like Ash does. <br /> ** [[Misty]], when she gets to keep {{TP|Misty|Togepi|Togetic}}, has never placed Togepi inside a Poké Ball and is always shown carrying it in her arms. <br /> ** Dawn, likewise, does the same with her {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}.<br /> * Out of Ash's Pokémon, Pikachu was the first one to defeat a [[pseudo-legendary]] Pokémon during battle in the anime, defeating {{OBP|Drake|Orange League}}'s {{TP|Drake|Dragonite}} in ''[[EP112|Enter the Dragonite]]'' and {{ho|Tyson}}'s {{p|Metagross}} during the [[Ever Grande Conference]] of the Hoenn League in ''[[AG131|At the End of the Fray]]''. However, in both occasions, the two [[pseudo-legendary]] Pokémon had been weakened by other Pokémon in Ash's team at the time; {{AP|Squirtle}}, {{AP|Charizard}} and {{AP|Tauros}} had weakened {{TP|Drake|Dragonite}} while {{AP|Swellow}} and {{AP|Grovyle|Sceptile}} had weakened {{p|Metagross}}.<br /> * Pikachu is the second Pokémon in the entire {{pkmn|anime}} series to have managed to defeat a [[legendary Pokémon]], which it did by defeating {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}}'s {{DL|Brandon's Regis|Regice}} in ''[[AG190|Pace - The Final Frontier!]]''. [[Ash's Charizard]] was the first Pokémon to have achieved this feat, against {{TP|Noland|Articuno}}. [[Dawn's Buneary]] has also managed to defeat a {{p|Phione}}.<br /> * Most of the moves Pikachu used in the [[original series]] were first used in an episode with the word ''showdown'' in its title.<br /> * In ''[[EP030|Sparks Fly for Magnemite]]'', it was revealed that Pikachu has a fear of Ash leaving it.<br /> *In a lot of new episodes, Pikachu's tail has been seen to spark instead of its cheeks when using {{m|Thunderbolt}}.<br /> *In [[DP142]] it was (finally!) confirmed that Pikachu is male. When {{p|Togepi}} used {{m|Attract}} on Pikachu, {{MTR}}, {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}, {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}} and {{TP|Jessie|Yanmega}}, all but Yanmega were affected (also revealing Yanmega as female, incedentially). It was already known that Meowth, Croagunk were male.<br /> ===Pikachu's language===<br /> [[Image:PikachuDP.png|thumb|right|Pikachu]]<br /> Some of Pikachu's speech is consistent enough that it seems that some phrases actually mean something. For instance, Pikachu always uses &quot;Pikapi&quot; when referring to Ash (notice that it sounds somewhat similar to &quot;Satoshi&quot;). Other speech includes:<br /> *PikaPikachu: ''My name is Pikachu''. When Ash and his friends are introducing themselves to the [[characters of the day]], it says this.<br /> *Pi-Kachu: It says this during the sponsor spots in the original Japanese. <br /> *Pikachu-Pi: ''[[Misty|Kasumi-chan]]'' (Misty)<br /> *Pika-Chu: ''[[Brock|Takeshi]]'' (Brock)<br /> [[image:Pikachu as ash.png|thumb|left|Pikachu imitating {{Ash}}]]<br /> *PiPiPi: ''{{TP|Misty|Togepi}}'' (Togepi)<br /> *PikakaPika: ''[[Ash's Bulbasaur|Fushigidane]]'' (Bulbasaur)<br /> *PikaPika: ''[[Ash's Squirtle|Zenigame]]'' (Squirtle) or ''[[Ash's Staravia|Mukubird]]'' (Staravia) or ''[[Ash's Chimchar|Hikozaru]]'' (Chimchar)<br /> *PiPi-kachu: ''[[Team Rocket|Rocket-dan]]'' (Team Rocket). <br /> *Pi-Pikachu: It says this after Ash wins a badge, catches a new Pokémon or anything similar. <br /> *Pi-ka: Used for multiple things such as &quot;eiga&quot; (movie) as seen during trailers for each upcoming [[Pokémon movie]]. Can also be used for &quot;yes&quot;.<br /> *Pi-ka-chu?: ''Are you alright?'': When a character or Pokémon is injured, Pikachu says this.<br /> *Specific names for {{Tracey}}, {{an|May}}, [[Max]], and {{an|Dawn}} have not been heard.<br /> [[File:Pikachu wobbuffet.png|thumb|Pikachu as a {{p|Wobbuffet}}]]<br /> *Chuuu-Pika: ''{{m|Iron Tail}}''. It says this when using {{m|Iron Tail}}.<br /> *Pika-Chuuuuuuuu: ''{{m|Thunderbolt}}''. It says this when using {{m|Thunderbolt}}, &quot;Pika&quot; when charging up and &quot;Chuuuuu&quot; when discharging.<br /> *PikaPikaPika...Pi-ka: ''{{m|Volt Tackle}}''. It says this when using {{m|Volt Tackle}}.<br /> *ChuChuChu...: ''{{m|Quick Attack}}''. It may also say this when using {{m|Agility}}.<br /> *PiPiPiPiPi...: ''{{m|Quick Attack}}''. It may also say this when using {{m|Agility}}.<br /> *Pikachu seems to have a talent for miming Pokémon, as seen from its performance during [[DP033|a cosplay competition]]. It will occasionally use pantomime to specify what it is talking about. In particular, it has a face to represent {{AP|Turtwig}}. <br /> *Pikachu has also used its face to tell when a character is in trouble by imitating people and Pokémon.<br /> <br /> ==Related articles==<br /> {{Animespecies|Pikachu}}<br /> * {{cat|Episodes focusing on Pikachu}}<br /> <br /> ==External links==<br /> *[http://pokeani.com/poke/satoshi/r_p-pikachu.html Pikachu's Profile] on [[Pokeani]] (Japanese)<br /> <br /> {{Ash's Pokémon}}&lt;br&gt;<br /> {{Animecharacters}}&lt;br&gt;<br /> {{Project Anime notice|no}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Ash's Pokémon|Pikachu]]<br /> [[Category:Anime starter Pokémon|Pikachu, Ash's]]<br /> <br /> [[de:Ashs Pikachu]]<br /> [[es:Pikachu de Ash]]<br /> [[fr:Pikachu de Sacha]]<br /> [[ja:サトシのピカチュウ]]<br /> [[pl:Pikachu Asha]]<br /> [[pt:Pikachu de Ash]]</div>

<p>Cassius335: /* Trivia */</p> <hr /> <div>[[Image:Giselle.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Giselle]]<br /> '''Giselle''' (Japanese: '''優藤 聖代''' ''Seiyo Yūtō'') is a school girl who attends a school called the [[Pokémon Tech|Pokémon Technical Institute]] which is located somewhere between [[Cerulean City]] and [[Vermilion City]]. She is a [[character of the day]] in ''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]''. She also appears in the ''[[Electric Tale of Pikachu]]'' {{pkmn|manga}}.<br /> <br /> ==In the anime==<br /> [[Image:I'm Giselle.jpg|left|thumb|Giselle and her Cubone]]<br /> In ''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]'' {{Ash}}, [[Misty]], and [[Brock]] had met a schoolboy named {{ka|Joe}} who attended a [[Pokémon Trainer's School]] called [[Pokémon Tech]]. Apparently, upperclassmen at the school were bullying younger or less experienced students under the guise of &quot;tutoring&quot;. The one responsible for this was Giselle, a pretty, popular, and highly experienced student.<br /> <br /> Later on, Giselle shows up initially to confront and belittle Joe after a recent loss against Misty. During her talk with Joe, it becomes apparent that Giselle is actually a very mean person that particularly cares very little for young, inexperienced trainers. Misty, angry at Giselle and her stuck-up attitude, challenged her to a [[Pokémon battle]]. Giselle defeated Misty with a {{p|Graveler}}, versus {{tp|Misty|Starmie}}, despite the disadvantage of a {{type2|Rock}} and a {{type2|Water}} Pokémon. After taunting the young [[Gym Leader]], Giselle then started to lecture her fellow students.<br /> <br /> Ash got angry himself and argued that [[Pokémon training]] was more than types and levels - you need to be friends with them, too. Giselle laughed haughtily and called Ash a beginner. She teased him about having been on a journey for two months and only having two [[badge]]s and three [[Pokémon]]. She then proceeded to note that Pikachu are an awful choice for [[starter Pokémon|first Pokémon]], and that they're more fitting as pets for little girls, and begun to say trivia about Pikachu and its evolved form, Raichu. Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}} were extremely insulted and angered, and challenged Giselle to a battle.<br /> <br /> Giselle used a {{p|Cubone}}. Without being able to use {{type2|Electric}} moves, Ash told Pikachu to fight back in any way it could. Pikachu then began to attack Cubone with a series of random physical attacks - biting, scratching, etc. Eventually Pikachu covered Cubone's eyes with its own skull helmet and Cubone ended up knocking itself out with its own {{m|Bonemerang}} attack. Giselle was shocked by the defeat and admitted that people can't learn through books alone.<br /> <br /> [[Team Rocket]] then tried to raid the school, but Giselle led the charge against them and got all the students to assist in chasing the criminals away. Joe and Giselle reconciled, and Joe left the school to collect badges for the [[Pokémon League]].<br /> <br /> ===Pokémon===<br /> This listing is of Giselle's Pokémon in the {{pkmn|anime}}:<br /> {{trainerpkmn|note=h|main=no|Giselle|Graveler|{{rock color}}|Giselle's_Graveler.jpg|{{p|Graveler}} is the Pokémon Giselle chose against [[Misty]]'s {{TP|Misty|Starmie}}, to prove that she can win even at a type disatvantage thanks to her Pokémon's high level. Graveler indeed managed to defeat Starmie, knocking it out powerfully through the window and into the pool.}}<br /> {{trainerpkmn|note=f|main=no|Giselle|Cubone|{{ground color}}|Cubone anime.gif|After mocking {{Ash}}'s {{AP|Pikachu}}, Giselle chose {{p|Cubone}} to battle it, saying it would be &quot;more than Pikachu's match&quot;. Pikachu's {{t|Electric}} attacks failed to hurt the {{type2|Ground}} Pokémon, and it used {{m|Leer}}. Pikachu responded by staring Cubone down, but Cubone used {{m|Bone Club}} and {{m|Bonemerang}}. Eventually Pikachu covered Cubone's eyes with its own skull helmet and Cubone ended up knocking itself out with its own attack.}}<br /> <br /> ===Voice actors===<br /> {| {{bluetable|background: white; width: 50%}}<br /> |- style=&quot;background: #ccf;&quot;<br /> !

She is apparently traveling through [[Kanto]] and catching high-rank Pokémon. She made two cameo appearances. She's seen with {{ka|Joe}} in one of them.<br /> <br /> ==Trivia==<br /> *Giselle, to date, is the only female that Ash has found attractive enough to abandon his usual indifference towards romance. Some might argue that some other characters have made him feel [[Shipping|this way]], but so far Giselle is the only inarguable one.<br /> *Giselle was also the only girl younger than Brock that he found attractive during all the series.<br /> *A Trainer based on Giselle appears in {{game|Yellow}}; a female [[Picnicker|Junior Trainer]] with a Cubone is on Route 6, which, like Pokémon Tech in the anime, is between Cerulean City and Vermilion City. She is seen talking to a [[Joe (Kanto)|male Junior Trainer with a Weepinbell]]. When the player talks to her, she would say ''I'm training for my love. Don't bother me!''.<br /> *Giselle is one of the few characters in the anime whose Japanese name isn't spelled using {{wp|katakana}}. Instead, it is spelled in {{wp|kanji}}.<br /> <br /> {{Electric Tale of Pikachu characters}}<br /> {{Project COD notice}}<br /> [[Category:Kanto characters of the day]]<br /> [[Category:Electric Tale of Pikachu characters]]<br /> [[Category:Female characters]]</div>

He is from [[Veilstone City]] in [[Sinnoh]]. He was first seen at the end of ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation]]'', though his full introduction was in ''[[DP003|When Pokémon Worlds Collide]]''. He is voiced by 古島清孝 ''[[Kiyotaka Furushima]]'' in Japanese and [[Julián Rebolledo]] in English. Internationally, he is played by ''Diego Armando Nieves'' in Latin American Spanish and [[Gabriel Noya]] in the Brazilian dub.<br /> <br /> Paul's only concern in his Pokémon is of their strength in battle. He strongly dislikes weak Pokémon and has a habit of releasing them if they do not meet his high expectations. To this effect, Paul always checks new captures with his [[Pokédex]] to learn what [[move]]s they know and trains the Pokémon he keeps harshly to make them strong. He feels that bonding with Pokémon would only turn them into slackers. As a person, Paul has been shown to have very little emotion other than an occasional rough smile. Sometimes, he gives some of his Pokémon to his brother, [[Reggie]], for temporary training and caretaking, as revealed in ''[[DP066|Lost Leader Strategy!]]''.<br /> <br /> At the beginning it was assumed that Paul was a trainer just starting out. However this was proven untrue in ''[[DP040|Top-Down Training]]'' where he revealed that he had already traveled through [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], and [[Hoenn]] and participated in their respective leagues before coming back to [[Sinnoh]].<br /> <br /> Paul feels that Ash is a weak trainer and can easily bring on Ash's anger by stating it. Ash's very different attitude towards being friends with Pokémon also provides much fuel to their rivalry. Paul barely recognizes their rivalry and Ash as a trainer and ignores Ash's speeches about loving his Pokémon. Ash on the other hand has a near hatred of Paul that flares up at Paul's indifference to his Pokémon. However Ash accepts that Paul is a strong trainer but considers himself on the same par as him. Paul disagrees. However it could be stated, based on their current battle record against each other that Ash and Paul are equally skilled trainers but Paul's team is overall stronger at the present time. This is only because Paul has kept more or less the same team throughout his journey while Ash has started again with Pikachu once every two major region challenge. Although Paul finds most of Ash's Pokémon weak, he has shown a particular interest in his {{AP|Pikachu}}.<br /> <br /> Paul appears to feel indifference to [[Brock]] and {{an|Dawn}}, showing that he didn't even know Dawn's name in ''[[DP016|A Gruff Act to Follow]]''. Paul does show respect for his elders, such as [[Professor Rowan]], [[Cynthia]] and [[Nurse Joy]].<br /> <br /> ==Pokémon==<br /> This listing is of Paul's Pokémon as of the most recent Japanese episode:<br /> <br /> ===On hand===<br /> {|border=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;border: 1px solid #000; border-collapse: collapse;&quot; width=400px cellspacing=&quot;0&quot;<br /> |-<br /> | align=center colspan=2 | [[Image:198.png]]&amp;rarr;[[Image:430.png]]&lt;br&gt;[[Paul's Honchkrow|Murkrow &amp;rarr; Honchkrow]]<br /> | align=Center colspan=1 | [[Image:472.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{TP|Paul|Gliscor}}<br /> | align=center | [[Image:126.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{TP|Paul|Magmar}}<br /> |-<br /> | align=center colspan=3 | [[Image:387.png]]&amp;rarr;[[Image:388.png]]&amp;rarr;[[Image:389.png]]&lt;br&gt;[[Paul's Torterra|Turtwig &amp;rarr; Grotle &amp;rarr; Torterra]]<br /> | align=center | [[Image:461.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{TP|Paul|Weavile}}<br /> |-<br /> |}<br /> <br /> As a result of Paul's selective team creation, his active team is composed of Pokémon that he deems to be powerful.

Two of the Starly caught in ''[[DP003|When Pokémon Worlds Collide]]'' and the Stantler caught in ''[[DP006|Different Strokes for Different Blokes]]'' were released as soon as he checked them on his Pokédex. The final Starly was kept due to its knowledge of {{m|Aerial Ace}} and used against Ash's {{AP|Starly}} in their first battle. Despite Paul's Starly winning, Paul decided it was not up to his standards and so it was released after the battle. <br /> <br /> Chimchar's capture was shown in a flashback in ''[[DP051|Glory Blaze]]''. Paul releases it at the end of that episode. Ash then offers Chimchar a place on his team and it happily accepts.<br /> <br /> ===Given away===<br /> {|border=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;border: 1px solid #000; border-collapse: collapse;&quot; width=100px cellspacing=&quot;0&quot;<br /> |-<br /> | align=center | [[Image:184.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{p|Azumarill}}<br /> |}<br /> Paul caught Azumarill for his battle with [[Roark]] in ''[[DP015|Shapes of Things to Come]]'', attempting to use the type advantage over the Rock-type Pokémon.

The first scan showed him commanding a {{AP|Chimchar}}.<br /> *His Japanese name, ''Shinji'', can be taken to be 信二, which literally means ''faithful second (son)''. This fits, as he has an older brother, [[Reggie]]. He may be named for 宮崎慎二 ''[[Shinji Miyazaki]]'', who is the composer of the music of the Pokémon anime. The name Paul, meanwhile, is a reference to Paul Baron, a staff member at The Pokémon Company, as well as [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Pokémon Pearl]], in contrast to {{an|Dawn}} referencing [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Pokémon Diamond]]. This can also be applied to his Japanese name&amp;mdash; the Japanese word for &quot;pearl&quot; is ''shinju'' (真珠), though there is no such link for Dawn's Japanese name. There is, however, a link in Dawn's own rival, {{si|Kenny}}, whose Japanese name of ケンゴ ''Kengo'' is similar to the Japanese 金剛 ''kongo''.<br /> ** Paul's Japanese name is Shinji and his brother Reggie's Japanese name (Reiji) contains &quot;Rei&quot;. {{wp|Shinji Ikari|Shinji}} and {{wp|Rei Ayanami|Rei}} are both names of characters from {{wp|Neon Genesis Evangelion}}.<br /> *[[Image:SugimoriSilverSketch.jpg|thumb|Sugimori's sketch of Silver]]Several similarities have been noted between Paul and a game rival, {{ga|Silver}}.

He is from [[Veilstone City]] in [[Sinnoh]]. He was first seen at the end of ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation]]'', though his full introduction was in ''[[DP003|When Pokémon Worlds Collide]]''. He is voiced by 古島清孝 ''[[Kiyotaka Furushima]]'' in Japanese and [[Julián Rebolledo]] in English. Internationally, he is played by ''Diego Armando Nieves'' in Latin American Spanish and [[Gabriel Noya]] in the Brazilian dub.<br /> <br /> Paul's only concern in his Pokémon is of their strength in battle. He strongly dislikes weak Pokémon and has a habit of releasing them if they do not meet his high expectations. To this effect, Paul always checks new captures with his [[Pokédex]] to learn what [[move]]s they know and trains the Pokémon he keeps harshly to make them strong. He feels that bonding with Pokémon would only turn them into slackers. As a person, Paul has been shown to have very little emotion other than an occasional rough smile. Sometimes, he gives some of his Pokémon to his brother, [[Reggie]], for temporary training and caretaking, as revealed in ''[[DP066|Lost Leader Strategy!]]''.<br /> <br /> At the beginning it was assumed that Paul was a trainer just starting out. However this was proven untrue in ''[[DP040|Top-Down Training]]'' where he revealed that he had already traveled through [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], and [[Hoenn]] and participated in their respective leagues before coming back to [[Sinnoh]].<br /> <br /> Paul feels that Ash is a weak trainer and can easily bring on Ash's anger by stating it. Ash's very different attitude towards being friends with Pokémon also provides much fuel to their rivalry. Paul barely recognizes their rivalry and Ash as a trainer and ignores Ash's speeches about loving his Pokémon. Ash on the other hand has a near hatred of Paul that flares up at Paul's indifference to his Pokémon. However Ash accepts that Paul is a strong trainer but considers himself on the same par as him. Paul disagrees. However it could be stated, based on their current battle record against each other that Ash and Paul are equally skilled trainers but Paul's team is overall stronger at the present time. This is only because Paul has kept more or less the same team throughout his journey while Ash has started again with Pikachu once every two major region challenge. Although Paul finds most of Ash's Pokémon weak, he has shown a particular interest in his {{AP|Pikachu}}.<br /> <br /> Paul appears to feel indifference to [[Brock]] and {{an|Dawn}}, showing that he didn't even know Dawn's name in ''[[DP016|A Gruff Act to Follow]]''. Paul does show respect for his elders, such as [[Professor Rowan]], [[Cynthia]] and [[Nurse Joy]].<br /> <br /> ==Pokémon==<br /> This listing is of Paul's Pokémon as of the most recent Japanese episode:<br /> <br /> ===On hand===<br /> {|border=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;border: 1px solid #000; border-collapse: collapse;&quot; width=400px cellspacing=&quot;0&quot;<br /> |-<br /> | align=center colspan=2 | [[Image:198.png]]&amp;rarr;[[Image:430.png]]&lt;br&gt;[[Paul's Honchkrow|Murkrow &amp;rarr; Honchkrow]]<br /> | align=Center colspan=1 | [[Image:472.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{TP|Paul|Gliscor}}<br /> | align=center | [[Image:126.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{TP|Paul|Magmar}}<br /> |-<br /> | align=center colspan=3 | [[Image:387.png]]&amp;rarr;[[Image:388.png]]&amp;rarr;[[Image:389.png]]&lt;br&gt;[[Paul's Torterra|Turtwig &amp;rarr; Grotle &amp;rarr; Torterra]]<br /> | align=center | [[Image:461.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{TP|Paul|Weavile}}<br /> |-<br /> |}<br /> <br /> As a result of Paul's selective team creation, his active team is composed of Pokémon that he deems to be powerful.

Two of the Starly caught in ''[[DP003|When Pokémon Worlds Collide]]'' and the Stantler caught in ''[[DP006|Different Strokes for Different Blokes]]'' were released as soon as he checked them on his Pokédex. The final Starly was kept due to its knowledge of {{m|Aerial Ace}} and used against Ash's {{AP|Starly}} in their first battle. Despite Paul's Starly winning, Paul decided it was not up to his standards and so it was released after the battle. <br /> <br /> Chimchar's capture was shown in a flashback in ''[[DP051|Glory Blaze]]''. Paul releases it at the end of that episode. Ash then offers Chimchar a place on his team and it happily accepts.<br /> <br /> ===Given away===<br /> {|border=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;border: 1px solid #000; border-collapse: collapse;&quot; width=100px cellspacing=&quot;0&quot;<br /> |-<br /> | align=center | [[Image:184.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{p|Azumarill}}<br /> |}<br /> Paul caught Azumarill for his battle with [[Roark]] in ''[[DP015|Shapes of Things to Come]]'', attempting to use the type advantage over the Rock-type Pokémon.

In [[Veilstone City]], Reggie told Ash that Paul's &quot;other Pokémon are here too&quot;.

However, his name and role was not revealed until the following week and so he received the fan name &quot;Nugai&quot;, coined by {{u|Pie}} as a play on the phrase &quot;new guy&quot;. The first scan showed him commanding a {{AP|Chimchar}}.<br /> *His Japanese name, ''Shinji'', can be taken to be 信二, which literally means ''faithful second (son)''. This fits, as he has an older brother, [[Reggie]]. He may be named for 宮崎慎二 ''[[Shinji Miyazaki]]'', who is the composer of the music of the Pokémon anime. The name Paul, meanwhile, is a reference to Paul Baron, a staff member at The Pokémon Company, as well as [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Pokémon Pearl]], in contrast to {{an|Dawn}} referencing [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Pokémon Diamond]]. This can also be applied to his Japanese name&amp;mdash; the Japanese word for &quot;pearl&quot; is ''shinju'' (真珠), though there is no such link for Dawn's Japanese name. There is, however, a link in Dawn's own rival, {{si|Kenny}}, whose Japanese name of ケンゴ ''Kengo'' is similar to the Japanese 金剛 ''kongo''.<br /> ** Paul's Japanese name is Shinji and his brother Reggie's Japanese name (Reiji) contains &quot;Rei&quot;. {{wp|Shinji Ikari|Shinji}} and {{wp|Rei Ayanami|Rei}} are both names of characters from {{wp|Neon Genesis Evangelion}}.<br /> *[[Image:SugimoriSilverSketch.jpg|thumb|Sugimori's sketch of Silver]]Several similarities have been noted between Paul and a game rival, {{ga|Silver}}. Their personalities are especially similar. Another interesting similarity is that the pose used in Paul's stock art is the same as the pose in a picture of Silver drawn by [[Ken Sugimori]], right down to the angle and position of the hands and feet. Paul has similar taste in Pokémon to the {{Special|Silver}} portrayed in Pokémon Special. Both have an Ursaring. Both have also owned a Murkrow at one point, and assuming Paul caught his Weavile as a Sneasel, both have owned a Sneasel at one point.<br /> *All of the Pokémon that Paul has on his team except his {{TP|Paul|Torterra}}, are part of an [[evolution family]] related to [[Generation II]]. <br /> **{{TP|Paul|Ursaring}} was introduced in Generation II.<br /> **{{TP|Paul|Honchkrow}}, {{TP|Paul|Weavile}} and {{TP|Paul|Gliscor}} are [[Generation IV]] Pokémon, but evolve from Generation II Pokémon ({{p|Murkrow}}, {{p|Sneasel}} and {{p|Gligar}}, respectively).<br /> ** {{TP|Paul|Electabuzz}} and {{TP|Paul|Magmar}} were introduced in [[Generation I]], but evolve from Generation II Pokémon ({{p|Elekid}} and {{p|Magby}}, respectively).<br /> *Paul's hometown is [[Veilstone City]], which happens to be the home of the main headquarters of [[Team Galactic]]. Whether or not this is a coincidence is unknown.<br /> ** Also, Paul shares two Pokémon with the Team Galactic Boss, [[Cyrus]]: Honchkrow and Weavile.<br /> *Paul is the only rival to have had two starter Pokémon in his team, but eventually releases [[Ash's Chimchar|one of them]].<br /> *Similar to {{Ash}}'s previous rival [[Gary Oak|Gary]], whose starter was a {{p|Squirtle}}, which is based on a turtle, Paul's starter is also based on a turtle.<br /> * Except for [[Ash's Buizel]], most of Ash's on hand team is related to Paul and/or his Pokémon in some way:<br /> **[[Ash's Pikachu]] had a rivalry with Electabuzz.<br /> **[[Ash's Chimchar]] used to be owned by Paul.<br /> **[[Ash's Turtwig]] has an evolved counterpart that Paul currently uses. <br /> **[[Ash's Gliscor]] is a direct counterpart to Paul's and, as a Gligar, was part of the Gligar pack led by Paul's Gliscor.<br /> **{{AP|Staravia}} is an example of Ash's training differing from Paul's.

He is from [[Veilstone City]] in [[Sinnoh]]. He was first seen at the end of ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation]]'', though his full introduction was in ''[[DP003|When Pokémon Worlds Collide]]''. He is voiced by 古島清孝 ''[[Kiyotaka Furushima]]'' in Japanese and [[Julián Rebolledo]] in English. Internationally, he is played by ''Diego Armando Nieves'' in Latin American Spanish and [[Gabriel Noya]] in the Brazilian dub.<br /> <br /> Paul's only concern in his Pokémon is of their strength in battle. He strongly dislikes weak Pokémon and has a habit of releasing them if they do not meet his high expectations. To this effect, Paul always checks new captures with his [[Pokédex]] to learn what [[move]]s they know and trains the Pokémon he keeps harshly to make them strong. He feels that bonding with Pokémon would only turn them into slackers. As a person, Paul has been shown to have very little emotion other than an occasional rough smile. Sometimes, he gives some of his Pokémon to his brother, [[Reggie]], for temporary training and caretaking, as revealed in ''[[DP066|Lost Leader Strategy!]]''.<br /> <br /> At the beginning it was assumed that Paul was a trainer just starting out. However this was proven untrue in ''[[DP040|Top-Down Training]]'' where he revealed that he had already traveled through [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], and [[Hoenn]] and participated in their respective leagues before coming back to [[Sinnoh]].<br /> <br /> Paul feels that Ash is a weak trainer and can easily bring on Ash's anger by stating it. Ash's very different attitude towards being friends with Pokémon also provides much fuel to their rivalry. Paul barely recognizes their rivalry and Ash as a trainer and ignores Ash's speeches about loving his Pokémon. Ash on the other hand has a near hatred of Paul that flares up at Paul's indifference to his Pokémon. However Ash accepts that Paul is a strong trainer but considers himself on the same par as him. Paul disagrees. However it could be stated, based on their current battle record against each other that Ash and Paul are equally skilled trainers but Paul's team is overall stronger at the present time. This is only because Paul has kept more or less the same team throughout his journey while Ash has started again with Pikachu once every two major region challenge. Although Paul finds most of Ash's Pokémon weak, he has shown a particular interest in his {{AP|Pikachu}}.<br /> <br /> Paul appears to feel indifference to [[Brock]] and {{an|Dawn}}, showing that he didn't even know Dawn's name in ''[[DP016|A Gruff Act to Follow]]''. Paul does show respect for his elders, such as [[Professor Rowan]], [[Cynthia]] and [[Nurse Joy]].<br /> <br /> ==Pokémon==<br /> This listing is of Paul's Pokémon as of the most recent Japanese episode:<br /> <br /> ===On hand===<br /> {|border=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;border: 1px solid #000; border-collapse: collapse;&quot; width=400px cellspacing=&quot;0&quot;<br /> |-<br /> | align=center colspan=2 | [[Image:198.png]]&amp;rarr;[[Image:430.png]]&lt;br&gt;[[Paul's Honchkrow|Murkrow &amp;rarr; Honchkrow]]<br /> | align=Center colspan=1 | [[Image:472.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{TP|Paul|Gliscor}}<br /> | align=center | [[Image:126.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{TP|Paul|Magmar}}<br /> |-<br /> | align=center colspan=3 | [[Image:387.png]]&amp;rarr;[[Image:388.png]]&amp;rarr;[[Image:389.png]]&lt;br&gt;[[Paul's Torterra|Turtwig &amp;rarr; Grotle &amp;rarr; Torterra]]<br /> | align=center | [[Image:461.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{TP|Paul|Weavile}}<br /> |-<br /> |}<br /> <br /> As a result of Paul's selective team creation, his active team is composed of Pokémon that he deems to be powerful. While the captures of Ursaring and Gliscor were shown in ''[[DP006|Different Strokes for Different Blokes]]'' and ''[[DP064|Riding the Winds of Change!]]'' respectively, the rest were obtained off-screen. <br /> <br /> ===Released===<br /> {|border=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;border: 1px solid #000; border-collapse: collapse;&quot; width=300px cellspacing=&quot;0&quot;<br /> |-<br /> | align=center | [[Image:396.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{p|Starly}} x3<br /> | align=center | [[Image:234.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{p|Stantler}}<br /> | align=center | [[Image:390.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{AP|Chimchar}} <br /> |}<br /> It is implied that Paul has caught and released many more Pokémon than has been shown on-screen. Two of the Starly caught in ''[[DP003|When Pokémon Worlds Collide]]'' and the Stantler caught in ''[[DP006|Different Strokes for Different Blokes]]'' were released as soon as he checked them on his Pokédex. The final Starly was kept due to its knowledge of {{m|Aerial Ace}} and used against Ash's {{AP|Starly}} in their first battle. Despite Paul's Starly winning, Paul decided it was not up to his standards and so it was released after the battle. <br /> <br /> Chimchar's capture was shown in a flashback in ''[[DP051|Glory Blaze]]''. Paul releases it at the end of that episode. Ash then offers Chimchar a place on his team and it happily accepts.<br /> <br /> ===Given away===<br /> {|border=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;border: 1px solid #000; border-collapse: collapse;&quot; width=100px cellspacing=&quot;0&quot;<br /> |-<br /> | align=center | [[Image:184.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{p|Azumarill}}<br /> |}<br /> Paul caught Azumarill for his battle with [[Roark]] in ''[[DP015|Shapes of Things to Come]]'', attempting to use the type advantage over the Rock-type Pokémon. However, Roark's Geodude had little trouble in defeating the {{t|Water}} Pokémon. After such a loss, Paul gave Azumarill away to a little boy during ''[[DP016|A Gruff Act to Follow]]''.<br /> <br /> ===Status unknown===<br /> {|border=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;border: 1px solid #000; border-collapse: collapse;&quot; width=500px cellspacing=&quot;0&quot;<br /> | align=center | [[Image:291.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{p|Ninjask}}<br /> | align=center | [[Image:022.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{p|Fearow}}<br /> | align=center colspan=2 | [[Image:239.png]] &amp;rarr; [[Image:125.png]] &lt;br&gt;[[Paul's Electabuzz|Elekid &amp;rarr; Electabuzz]]<br /> | align=center | [[Image:217.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{TP|Paul|Ursaring}}<br /> |}<br /> Ninjask was caught shortly before Paul saw Chimchar, as shown in a flashback in ''[[DP051|Glory Blaze]]''. Paul was also seen attempting to capture a Fearow in ''[[DP046|A Maze-ing Race!]]''. Whether he kept them or even succeeded in catching Fearow is unknown. In [[Veilstone City]], Reggie told Ash that Paul's &quot;other Pokémon are here too&quot;. Whether it includes Ninjask or possibly Fearow is also unknown.<br /> <br /> As of [[DP100]], Paul was shown to have Torterra, Weavile, Gliscor, Honchkrow, and Magmar on his team, while Ursaring and Electabuzz were unseen. It is unknown which of the two Paul has on hand, if he even does have either one of them at all.<br /> <br /> ==Known badges obtained==<br /> ====Sinnoh League====<br /> * {{badge|Coal}}<br /> * {{badge|Cobble}}<br /> * {{badge|Relic}}<br /> <br /> ==Pokémon League==<br /> Paul has competed (off-screen) in the following Pokémon League competitions:<br /> *[[Ever Grande Conference]]<br /> *[[Indigo League Conference]]<br /> *[[Silver Conference]]<br /> <br /> ==Pokémon competitions==<br /> * [[Sinnoh Double Battle Tournament]] (Champion - with {{Ash}})<br /> <br /> ==Trivia==<br /> *Paul was first revealed to the fandom through a [[CoroCoro]] scan that showed him alongside Ash and Dawn. However, his name and role was not revealed until the following week and so he received the fan name &quot;Nugai&quot;, coined by {{u|Pie}} as a play on the phrase &quot;new guy&quot;. The first scan showed him commanding a {{AP|Chimchar}}.<br /> *His Japanese name, ''Shinji'', can be taken to be 信二, which literally means ''faithful second (son)''. This fits, as he has an older brother, [[Reggie]]. He may be named for 宮崎慎二 ''[[Shinji Miyazaki]]'', who is the composer of the music of the Pokémon anime. The name Paul, meanwhile, is a reference to Paul Baron, a staff member at The Pokémon Company, as well as [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Pokémon Pearl]], in contrast to {{an|Dawn}} referencing [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Pokémon Diamond]]. This can also be applied to his Japanese name&amp;mdash; the Japanese word for &quot;pearl&quot; is ''shinju'' (真珠), though there is no such link for Dawn's Japanese name. There is, however, a link in Dawn's own rival, {{si|Kenny}}, whose Japanese name of ケンゴ ''Kengo'' is similar to the Japanese 金剛 ''kongo''.<br /> ** Paul's Japanese name is Shinji and his brother Reggie's Japanese name (Reiji) contains &quot;Rei&quot;. {{wp|Shinji Ikari|Shinji}} and {{wp|Rei Ayanami|Rei}} are both names of characters from {{wp|Neon Genesis Evangelion}}.<br /> *[[Image:SugimoriSilverSketch.jpg|thumb|Sugimori's sketch of Silver]]Several similarities have been noted between Paul and a game rival, {{ga|Silver}}. Their personalities are especially similar. Another interesting similarity is that the pose used in Paul's stock art is the same as the pose in a picture of Silver drawn by [[Ken Sugimori]], right down to the angle and position of the hands and feet. Paul has similar taste in Pokémon to the {{Special|Silver}} portrayed in Pokémon Special. Both have an Ursaring.

Its Japanese voice actor is 三木眞一郎 ''[[Shin'ichirō Miki]]'', and its English voice actor is [[Jimmy Zoppi|Billy Beach]].<br /> <br /> ==History==<br /> Ash caught Grotle as a Turtwig in ''[[DP005|Gettin' Twiggy With It]]''. It had been living in the forest near [[Clara]]'s home, and it broke up fights among wild Pokémon in the area. After [[Team Rocket]] stole [[Ash's Pikachu]], their balloon crashed, and Turtwig defended Pikachu against them. When Ash and his friends appeared, Turtwig assumed they were trying to wrongfully steal Pikachu, too, so it attacked them and ran off with an exhausted Pikachu in tow. The next time they confronted Turtwig, the misunderstanding was explained, and Turtwig apologetically befriended Ash. At the end of the episode, Ash and his friends began to leave, and the old woman encouraged Turtwig to go with Ash, so it ran to challenge him. Turtwig and Pikachu battled, and Ash caught Turtwig.<br /> <br /> Turtwig is a brave yet kind Pokémon that has high confidence for its small size. It apparently has a strong jaw, as it is often seen latching itself onto people and Pokémon's heads, tails, hats, and appendages to attack or show affection. It has done this to {{Ash}} as well. It has also been shown to be incredibly fast. In this way its behavior somewhat resembles that of [[James's Victreebel]], {{TP|James|Carnivine}}, and {{TP|James|Cacnea}}. Turtwig has also shown to be quite strong, such as the time when it used Bite on Roark's Rampardos's tail, and threw it into a rock, after which Brock said &quot;Big things come in small packages!&quot;<br /> <br /> In ''[[DP006|Different Strokes for Different Blokes]]'', Turtwig battled [[Ash's Chimchar|Paul's Chimchar]] and lost. Although it held its own in battle, it appeared to hesitate upon receiving Ash's command to dodge attacks.<br /> <br /> Turtwig has also helped in Ash's [[Gym]] battles. It defeated [[Roark]]'s {{p|Cranidos}} in their first battle, and in the rematch, defeated the newly evolved {{TP|Roark|Rampardos}}. This victory gave Ash his first badge.<br /> <br /> It also battled against [[Gardenia]]'s Turtwig during his second gym battle. Although Gardenia's Pokémon had defeated Ash's during a battle in the [[Eterna Forest]], he gained the upper hand and defeated the {{type2|Grass}}. After learning {{m|Energy Ball}} from {{si|Kenny}}'s {{p|Breloom}}, Turtwig didn't battle again until the Pastoria Gym battle in [[DP083]], where it battled [[Crasher Wake]]'s {{p|Quagsire}} but it was called back before being defeated.<br /> <br /> In [[DP100]], Turtwig battled against [[Paul's Honchkrow]]. After enduring harsh attacks, it evolved into {{p|Grotle}}. However, both Ash and Grotle quickly noticed that, due to its larger form, Grotle's speed that it had as a Turtwig had diminished, and Grotle fumbled and fell down a lot in the battle. But thanks to some unexpected help from [[Paul's Torterra]], Grotle hopes to get used to its new form. <br /> <br /> &lt;gallery&gt;<br /> Image:Satoshitonaetle.jpg|As the very affectionate Turtwig, pictured in artwork with Ash.<br /> Image:Turtwig-anime.jpg|Protecting {{TP|Ash|Pikachu}}.<br /> Image:Ash's Turtwig using Energy Ball.jpg|Using '''Energy Ball''' as a Turtwig.<br /> &lt;/gallery&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Moves used==<br /> * ''{{m|Bite}}''<br /> * ''{{m|Razor Leaf}}''<br /> * {{m|Synthesis}}<br /> * {{m|Tackle}}<br /> * ''{{m|Energy Ball}}''<br /> &lt;small&gt;Recently-used moves are in ''italics''.&lt;/small&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Trivia==<br /> * For [[DP016]], [[Professor Oak's lecture]] is about Ash's Turtwig. He writes this [[Pokémon senryū]] about it: ナエトルは　あたまにはっぱ　はえとるぞ ''Naetoru wa / Atama ni happa / Haetoru zo'' &quot;Naetle / The leaf on its head / Is growing.&quot;<br /> * Its ability to break up fights between other Pokémon mirrors that of [[Ash's Bulbasaur]], Ash's first {{type2|Grass}} [[starter Pokémon]]. Also, the episodes that Bulbasaur and Turtwig were caught in are very similar.<br /> * Some of Turtwig's other actions mirror those of [[James's Carnivine]], {{TP|James|Cacnea}}, and {{TP|James|Victreebel}}, who attack their trainer out of affection. Coincidentally, they are all {{type2|Grass}} Pokémon.<br /> * This is {{Ash}}'s third turtle/tortoise-based Pokémon, the others being {{AP|Squirtle}} and {{AP|Torkoal}}. Perhaps incidentally, the three make up the three [[starter Pokémon]] [[types]], though Torkoal is not a starter. <br /> * In ''[[DP062|Tanks for the Memories!]]'', Turtwig is embarrassed to be in a maid outfit, much like Ash, Pikachu, and Dawn's Piplup are. This may indicate that it, Pikachu, and Piplup are male.<br /> * After evolving, Grotle had problems with its new, heavier form. While a {{p|Turtwig}}'s {{stat|Speed}} is higher relative to its other stats than a {{p|Grotle}}'s is, Grotle's [[base stats|base]] Speed is actually five points ''higher'' than Turtwig's.<br /> *It took Turtwig almost as long to evolve into Grotle as it took Ash's {{p|Grovyle}} to evolve into {{TP|Ash|Sceptile}}.<br /> <br /> ==Related articles==<br /> {{animespeciesevo1|Turtwig|Grotle}}<br /> <br /> ==External links==<br /> *[http://pokeani.com/poke/r_p-satoshi24.html Hayashigame's Profile] on [[Pokeani]] (Japanese)<br /> <br /> {{Ash's Pokémon}}<br /> [[Category:Ash's Pokémon|Grotle]]<br /> <br /> [[de:Ashs Chelcarain]]<br /> <br /> [[ja:サトシのハヤシガメ]]<br /> [[pt:Turtwig de Ash]]</div>

His Japanese voice actress is 松本梨香 ''[[Rica Matsumoto]]'', his English voice actresses are [[Veronica Taylor]] ([[4Kids Entertainment]] dub) and [[Sarah Natochenny]] ([[Pokémon USA]] dub), his Brazilian voice actor is [[Fábio Lucindo]], his Italian voice actor is [[Davide Garbolino]], and his Spanish voice actors are [[Adolfo Moreno]] (Spain) and [[Gabriel Ramos]] (Latin America). In the first dub of [[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]] he was voiced by [[Kayzie Rogers|Jamie Peacock]]. <br /> <br /> Ash is apparently based on the main character of [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions]], {{ga|Red}}. He shares his name with the creator of the [[Pokémon]] franchise, [[Satoshi Tajiri]]. His Japanese name can be taken to mean &quot;wisdom&quot; or &quot;reason&quot; (智), and his English name has many meanings. His English last name is a pun on the original English Pokémon motto, &quot;[[Gotta Catch 'em All!]]&quot;. As for his first name, some note that &quot;Ash&quot; has the same letters found in ''S'''a'''to'''sh'''i''.<br /> <br /> {{spoilers}}<br /> <br /> ==In the anime==<br /> ===&lt;u&gt;Character&lt;/u&gt;===<br /> [[Image:Anime Ash.png|thumb|Ash Ketchum in the original series]]<br /> Ash's main goal in life, as described in the first episode, ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', is to be the world's greatest {{g|Master}}. Ash began his journey at the age of 10 as a warm-hearted and well-intentioned but stubborn and unskilled {{g|Trainer}}. He was forced to accept the irreverent {{AP|Pikachu}} from [[Professor Oak]] as his [[starter Pokémon]] because he carelessly broke his alarm clock and woke up late on the day he was set to get his first Pokémon. He was determined to achieve his goal, however, and when he showed his willingness to give up his own safety to keep Pikachu safe, he formed a strong bond of friendship with his Pokémon which would set his course for the future.<br /> <br /> However, from that point, Ash still had a lot to learn about becoming a Trainer. He [[captured Pokémon|caught]] his {{AP|Butterfree|first Pokémon}} by luck, knew nothing about {{g|battle|battling}}, and showed a reluctance to admit when he was wrong. Many of his first [[Gym]] [[badge]]s were given to him out of pity or gratitude for his assistance rather than claiming a victory in battle over the [[Gym Leader]]s. Every time he thought he was doing well, he would somehow cross paths with his childhood [[rival]], [[Gary Oak]], who always reminded Ash that he was always a step or seven behind.<br /> <br /> Ash's dedication to his goal paid off over time, and after earning his first eight badges, he competed in the [[Indigo League]], and advanced further in the rounds than Gary. After recovering from his defeat, he continued on to improve his skill, take on new challenges, and compete in more {{g|League}} competitions.<br /> <br /> Ash has changed a great deal over the course of the series, particularly in regards to his skill at {{g|training}}, but his earnestness and determination have remained. Never straying from his goal, he has remained loyal to his friends, his family, and his supporters, but most of all his Pokémon. Ash became a great Trainer by learning to find and use the inner strength of each of his Pokémon by bonding with them and learning where their hidden abilities lie, as well as resorting to unorthodox strategies when fighting particularly challenging opponents. For example, he uses his Pikachu's speed to outmaneuver larger foes and attack, and defeated [[Gary's Blastoise]] with his {{AP|Charizard}} by causing the field to overheat and have Charizard mount a close-range attack while Blastoise was blinded by the steam. He also prefers to train a Pokémon to be the best it can without making it evolve, and he is hesitant to let his Pokémon evolve to get stronger, as evidenced by his treatment of {{AP|Gligar}} in [[DP085]].<br /> <br /> [[Image:SatoshiAG.png|thumb|left|Ash in the Advanced Generation series]]<br /> Additionally, during the first season of the series, while Ash originally trained not to further himself but instead to catch more Pokémon than his rival, Gary. He later slowed his pace which allowed him to focus on the individual traits of each Pokémon. At the [[Johto]] League [[Silver Conference]], with great humility and maturity, Ash finally won a battle against his old rival, signifying a great milestone in his history. His maturity has also increased in his dealings with Pokémon, as when [[Ash's Primeape|a Mankey]] stole his {{AP|hat}} in ''[[EP025|Primeape Goes Bananas]]'', he screamed and yelled at it, even climbing trees just to get his hat back, but when [[Dawn's Ambipom|an Aipom]] did the same in ''[[AG179|Slaking Kong]]'', he stated merely that he would feel strange without a hat.<br /> <br /> In most episodes of the anime, especially those during the Johto League saga, Ash befriends someone who will influence him and cause him to strive to become a better Trainer. Although he is not a dependent individual, he is still young and has learned to make his way relying on his {{AP|friends}}, particularly the maternal skills of [[Brock]]. The honor of &quot;best friend&quot; is usually reserved for Pikachu but Ash has come to see his closest human friends in the same light over time; using the term for [[Misty]] and [[Brock]] in ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later]]'' as well as {{an|May}} and [[Max]] in ''[[AG178|Battling the Enemy Within]]''.<br /> <br /> He has traversed much of the {{g|world}} and has thus far participated in four [[Pokémon League#Championship competitions|Pokémon League regional competitions]], but he is still learning new things about Pokémon all the time.<br /> <br /> [[Image:AshAura.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Ash using Aura inside the [[Tree of Beginning]]]]<br /> Ash apparently has a close connection with [[Legendary Pokémon]], especially {{p|Ho-Oh}}, {{p|Lugia}}, and {{p|Shaymin}}. In the English dub of the [[The Power of One|second movie]], he was revealed to be &quot;The Chosen One&quot; - the one who would bring balance back to the world. Although viewed as a normal human, Ash does have some special abilities as he is said to have the same [[aura]] as [[Sir Aaron]], a legendary hero, and is theoretically able to manipulate it in much the same way. However, he has not received any training in this field, opting to continue his Pokémon journey instead. He has also been likened to an ancient [[aura]] guardian in ''[[DP056|The Keystone Pops!]]'', who also had a partner {{p|Pikachu}}. Later, in [[DP071]] and [[DP072]], Ash uses [[aura]] again to locate a lost {{p|Riolu}} and read Riolu's mind as well. However, these were one time deals, as Riolu had an unnaturally powerful aura.<br /> <br /> He has a [[Contest Pass]] for the [[Sinnoh]] region, though he has stated that the contest he got it for was the only one he intends on entering. He also has one for the Hoenn region as it was required to watch one of the contests held there. Ash also carries around a broken [[Poké Ball]], of which the other half belongs to Gary and is a symbol of their ongoing, but now friendly, rivalry, as well as [[Misty's special lure]], which she sent to him as a gift, and also half of a ribbon he received in a contest against May before she left the group to compete in Johto.<br /> &lt;br clear=&quot;left&quot;&gt;<br /> <br /> ===&lt;u&gt;Family&lt;/u&gt;===<br /> Ash lived with his mother, [[Delia Ketchum]], until he left for his Pokémon journey at the age of ten.<br /> <br /> His father is never introduced. The anime suggests that his father was once a Pokémon Trainer, but it is unclear whether he is still living. There has been much discussion in the fandom as to the identity of Ash's father, though the writers have chosen to not focus on this aspect of Ash's life. Common characters put forward by fans for the role are [[Giovanni]], [[Professor Oak]] and {{an|Silver}}. In {{g|Live!}}, Delia told Ash that Giovanni had once been her boyfriend, and that he was Ash's father. However, this has never been officially acknowledged.<br /> <br /> Ash is an only child, breaking from the tradition of several other main characters, with the exception of {{an|Dawn}} and possibly {{Tracey}}, whose siblings are often a foil or focal point in their lives.<br /> <br /> ===Pokémon===<br /> ====On hand====<br /> &lt;!--Don't touch the tables if you don't know what you're doing.

In Hoenn he has only caught Treecko, which evolved into a Grovyle and later on a Sceptile. As for Sinnoh he is only missing {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}.<br /> *In [[EP009|the ninth episode]] Ash mentioned that he had been a Pokémon trainer for 2 months. This time frame is further reinforced when Ash learns that the Pokémon League will begin in two months when he [[EP065|returns to Pallet Town]] after earning his eighth badge - he arrives at Indigo Stadium [[EP074|nine episodes later]]. If time continued at this rate, he would be at least 20 years old in the latest Japanese episode, something that's implied strongly by {{MTR}} in ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation!]]''. However, given that some episodes take place directly after each other, this time frame is clearly not consistent. <br /> * Ash has been mistaken to be the son of two women from [[Kanto]] and the [[Orange Islands]]. The first time was in ''[[EP027|Hypno's Naptime]]'' where he was mistaken for a boy named Arnold, while the second was in ''[[EP108|Pokémon Double Trouble]]'' when [[Luana]] mistook him for her son [[Travis]].<br /> *Ash has caught 49 &lt;!--Count good as of DP100: the evolution of Turtwig into Grotle--&gt;different kinds of Pokémon, including evolutions and counting Larvitar, Seaking, Beedrill, Haunter, and Raticate, even though Larvitar and Haunter were not officially his, Beedrill was given away nearly immediately, and Seaking was released as part of contest rules. The original tagline for the dub was &quot;[[Gotta Catch 'em All!]]&quot;, but Ash has only caught 9.74% of the current number of Pokémon. This line was eventually dropped in 2003, when he only had 8.03% of the then total of 386.<br /> *Ash has caught or received 64 different individual Pokémon, 30 of which are his Tauros.<br /> *Ash's first choice of a starter was Squirtle. Later, it is revealed that Gary was the one who, in fact, chose Squirtle. Ash's second choice was Bulbasaur, while his third was Charmander.<br /> *So far, every time Ash becomes the champion of something, he then battles and gets defeated by {{Gary}} a few episodes later, before heading off to a new region. This has happened after his championing of the [[Orange League]] and the Hoenn {{ho|Battle Frontier}}, which were both &quot;filler seasons&quot; before the start of even-numbered generations.<br /> *In ''[[EP241|Hocus Pokémon]]'', Ash was transformed into a {{p|Pikachu}}. This transformed state is sometimes referred to as [[Ashachu]].<br /> *Ash has captured each [[generation]]'s {{type2|Grass}} [[starter Pokémon]] (Bulbasaur, Chikorita, Treecko, Turtwig).<br /> *In both the [[Timeline of events in the anime#Kanto|Kanto]] and [[Timeline of events in the anime#Johto|Johto]] story arcs, Ash managed to capture all three of the starter Pokémon for both regions. This trend was broken in the [[Advanced Generation series]], where he only captured {{AP|Treecko}}, while the other two were {{OP|May|Torchic}} and {{OP|Brock|Mudkip}}. However, it is possible that the trend will be reestablished in the [[Diamond &amp; Pearl series]] story arc, as Ash has already managed to capture both a {{AP|Turtwig}} and {{AP|Chimchar}}, two of the Sinnoh region's starter Pokémon. This is unlikely, however, as {{an|Dawn}} already has the third, {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}.<br /> **However, he did command Piplup during ''[[DP046|A-Maze-ing Race!]]'', and Chimchar during its last few minutes on Paul's team.<br /> *Ash has captured one {{type2|Flying}} Pokémon from each series region that players can encounter early in different games: {{AP|Pidgeotto}}, {{AP|Noctowl}}, {{AP|Taillow}}, and {{AP|Starly}}.<br /> *In each region (except for the Orange Islands), Ash always loses against at least one of the [[Gym Leader]]s before challenging them to a rematch.<br /> *With the exception of Koga, Ash had to either do some sort of heroic deed or re-challenge all of the Kanto Gym Leaders to earn his badge. This, however, never applied to his Earth Badge, as he never battled against Giovanni himself, instead challenging the Team Rocket trio that had constantly followed him.<br /> *So far, Ash always befriends someone shortly before the regional tournament. That person will beat Ash later on in the semifinals.<br /> *Though not as touched on anymore, a running gag in the English version of the series involved [[Delia Ketchum|his mother]] making sure that Ash changed his underwear every single day.<br /> *Ash's room, seen at the start of [[EP001|the first episode]], contains a lot of merchandise based off various Pokémon, including a bedspread with a [[Poké Ball]] pattern, a trash can with a {{p|Staryu}} on it, a big {{p|Snorlax}} [[Pokémon doll|doll]], a {{p|Poliwag}} pencil sharpener, a {{p|Clefairy}} bank, a {{p|Zubat}} mobile, a poster with {{p|Squirtle}}, {{p|Bulbasaur}} and {{p|Charmander}}, and a {{p|Voltorb}} alarm clock with a {{p|Pidgey}} inside it which he breaks in his sleep. He also has many books, a globe, a boombox, a television and a [[Bug Catcher]]'s net. Based on the slanting of the ceiling of his room, it is probably in the attic of his house.<br /> *During his adventures in Kanto, Johto and the Orange Islands, Ash pinned his badges to the inside of his jacket. From Hoenn onwards, they have been kept in some form of case. It is unknown where the badges of Ash's previous journeys are, though it is assumed that they are kept somewhere in his house. Delia placed Ash's trophy from the Orange Islands on top of the television, though this was missing when Ash looked in his living room in ''[[AG192|Home is Where the Start Is]]''. Interestingly, the scene following it showed an identical trophy placed in Professor Oak's lab.<br /> *Each time Ash successfully wins his eighth badge, all eight are stolen, though soon after returned. It is unknown if this will happen again in the [[Diamond &amp; Pearl series]].<br /> *The most badges Ash has ever gotten in the first thirty-five episodes were six badges in Kanto, which makes sense considering that Kanto was significantly shorter than any other saga (aside from the Orange Island saga and the Battle Frontier saga). In every other region thus far, he has only won two badges in the first thirty-five episodes.<br /> *The only girl Ash has even shown a confirmed [[Shipping|interest]] is named [[Giselle]] whom appeared in ''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]''.<br /> *The only {{type2|Fire}} starter Ash has not owned is {{p|Torchic}}.<br /> *Ash is the only {{ashfr|main character}} that has caught a {{shiny2}} Pokémon, which is his {{AP|Noctowl}}.<br /> *Ash has two rivals that started off with turtle-like Pokémon. Gary started with [[Gary's Blastoise|Squirtle]] and Paul started off with [[Paul's Torterra|Turtwig]].<br /> *Ash also has two female friends that started off with bird-like Pokémon. May started off with {{TP|May|Torchic}} and Dawn started off with {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}.<br /> *The characters of the anime that share Ash's voice actress, both in English and in Japanese, are usually female or Pokémon.<br /> *In the case of Ash's Fire-type Pokémon, he always somehow saves them before capturing them, either from an abusive trainer or from other Pokémon.<br /> *Because Ash began wearing his AG clothes before leaving for Hoenn and did not change into his DP clothes until after he arrived in Sinnoh, Ash wore the AG clothes during episodes from all three series.<br /> [[Image:Ash maid.jpg|200px|thumb|Ash crossdressed for a third time.]]<br /> *Ash has crossdressed once in each anime series: ''[[EP026|Pokémon Scent-sation!]]'' was the first time, in the [[original series]], ''[[AG042|Love at First Flight]]'' was the second, in the {{series|Advanced Generation}}, and ''[[DP062|Tanks for the Memories!]]'' was the third, in the {{series|Diamond &amp; Pearl}}. Each time Ash has crossdressed, he was never willing to do so and was coerced or forced into it in some fashion.<br /> **In addition to dressing as a girl, Ash has dressed up as fruit on at least two occasions. The first time, he dressed as an apple in ''[[EP107|Pokémon Food Fight!]]'' while the second he dressed as an eggplant in ''[[AG104|Claydol Big and Tall]]''. On both occasions he was used to lure a large Pokémon.<br /> **Ash has also had to dress up on numerous occasions as actual Pokémon to help out the [[characters of the day]]. He has so far been a Mr. Mime in ''[[EP064|It's Mr. Mime Time]]'', as an Octillery in ''[[EP215|Octillery the Outcast]]'' and as a Seviper in ''[[AG048|Zig Zag Zangoose!]]''.<br /> *Ash has owned four Pokémon that have also been owned by [[Gym Leaders]]. [[Falkner]] ({{AP|Pidgeot}}), [[Flannery]] ({{AP|Torkoal}}), [[Winona]] ({{AP|Swellow}}), and [[Gardenia]] ({{AP|Turtwig}}). Coincidently, all of them either have bird or turtle-like Pokémon. Other Gym Leaders have owned Pokémon that happened to be either the evolved form or pre-evolved form of one of Ash's Pokémon. [[Lt. Surge's Raichu]] ({{AP|Pikachu}}), [[Cissy]]'s {{p|Blastoise}} ({{AP|Squirtle}}), [[Falkner]]'s {{p|Hoothoot}} ({{AP|Noctowl}}), [[Bugsy]]'s {{p|Metapod}} ({{AP|Butterfree}}), and [[Crasher Wake]]'s {{p|Floatzel}} ({{AP|Buizel}}). <br /> ** A related coincidence is that three of the four female Gym Leaders listed above, own a turtle/tortoise-like Pokémon. <br /> *Ash last released a Pokémon during the original series. Since its end, he has been leaving his Pokémon at [[Professor Oak]]'s lab often, a [[EP061|habit]] he got from [[Misty]].<br /> *All of Ash's primate-based Pokémon have been owned by two Trainers - [[Paul]] previously owned {{AP|Chimchar}}, {{ka|Anthony}} currently owns {{AP|Primeape}}, and Dawn currently owns Aipom which later evolved into {{TP|Dawn|Ambipom}}.<br /> *All of Ash's Pokémon that have evolved twice ({{AP|Charizard}}, {{AP|Sceptile}} and {{AP|Butterfree}}) also have cross-generation counterparts on {{an|May}}'s team ({{TP|May|Blaziken}}, {{TP|May|Venusaur}}, and {{TP|May|Beautifly}}, respectively).<br /> *Ash has the most Pokémon that know moves that [[Anime move errors|they can't learn in the games]]: [[Ash's Butterfree|Caterpie]] with {{m|Counter}}, {{AP|Charizard}} with {{m|Tackle}}, {{AP|Bulbasaur}} with {{m|Tickle}} (debatable), {{m|Dig}}, and {{m|Whirlwind}}, {{AP|Raticate}} with {{m|Hi Jump Kick}}, {{AP|Staravia}} with {{m|Gust}}, and {{AP|Larvitar}} with {{m|Harden}}.<br /> *Although Ash is the main character of the Pokémon anime, he has never been featured on an English TCG card.<br /> *Ash has three turtle-like Pokémon: Squirtle, Torkoal and Grotle. Each corresponds to one of the three elemental types of the starter Pokémon, though Torkoal isn't a starter itself.<br /> *Despite having two [[Soothe Bell]]s, Ash has yet to capture any Pokémon that evolve through happiness, while both Brock and Dawn have Pokémon on their team that undergo happiness evolutions at some stage ({{TP|Dawn|Buneary}} and {{TP|Brock|Happiny}}). <br /> *Ash has owned at least one Pokémon of each type except {{t|Dark}}, {{t|Dragon}}, {{t|Steel}}, and {{t|Psychic}}.<br /> *Discounting [[Koga]], who was a [[Gym Leader]] at the time of Ash's battle against him, Ash has so far battled three [[Elite Four]] members, namely [[Lorelei|Prima]], {{EF|Drake}} and [[Agatha]], losing to all three. He has met all four of Generation I Kanto's Elite Four, two of Generation II's, one of Hoenn's, and one of Sinnoh's. He has also met all five in-game champions (or their anime counterparts, at least).<br /> *It is interesting to note that Ash's {{series|Diamond &amp; Pearl}} outfit looks much like {{ga|Lucas}}'s. The biggest difference between the two is the fact that Lucas wears a scarf, and that Ash retains the {{wp|baseball cap}} style for his hat, while Lucas's is a {{wp|flat cap}}.<br /> *Four of Ash's Pokémon have been introduced to moves by someone else: {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{m|Iron Tail}}, {{AP|Swellow}} and {{m|Aerial Ace}}, {{AP|Turtwig}} and {{m|Energy Ball}}, and {{AP|Staravia}} and {{m|Brave Bird}}. Of these, three are [[TM]] moves in the games.<br /> *Three of Ash's Pokémon were caught by him after first premiering in Pokémon movies: {{AP|Donphan}} (''[[Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''), {{AP|Aipom}} (''[[Spell of the Unown]]'') and {{AP|Buizel}} (''[[Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'').<br /> ** Strangely, both Donphan and Aipom are {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}} and were both used in battle against him by an opponent during the opening credits of the movies.<br /> *Altogether, if the movies are considered to be canon, Ash has seen at least twenty-seven different species of legendary Pokémon, and at least ten of them multiple times.<br /> *Seven of Ash's Pokémon decided to join him without battling him (Gligar, Chimchar, Lapras, Chikorita, Charmander, Squirtle, and Torkoal), while another five accepted a challenge against them and were subsequently captured (Turtwig, Treecko, Bulbasaur, Snorunt and Aipom). All of the others he naturally encountered and captured.<br /> <br /> ==Names==<br /> {| border=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;border: 1px solid #88a; border-collapse: collapse;&quot; cellspacing=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;2&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background: #ccf;&quot;<br /> !

Much later, she was traded to {{an|Dawn}} in exchange for {{AP|Buizel}}. Her Japanese voice actress is 佐藤智恵 ''[[Chie Satō]]'' and her English voice actress is [[Emily Jenness]]. As an Aipom, she was voiced by 伊東みやこ ''[[Miyako Itō]]'' in both English and Japanese.<br /> <br /> ==History==<br /> <br /> ===With Ash===<br /> [[Image:Ash_aipom.jpg|As an Aipom, wearing a flower crown|thumb|left|190px]]<br /> Aipom was first seen in ''[[AG179|Slaking Kong]]'', worshipping a giant, mechanical {{p|Slaking}}. However, she also stole [[Ash's hat]], much like [[Ash's Primeape]] did [[EP025|more than 400 episodes before]]. Aipom soon reappeared in ''[[AG180|May, We Harley Drew'd Ya!]]'', stealing the hats of the participants before making off with Ash's hat again. In ''[[AG182|Channeling the Battle Zone]]'', after watching May in the Grand Festival, Aipom became thrilled with battling and challenged Ash and his Pikachu for a battle; as he won, Ash finally captured her.<br /> <br /> In ''[[AG183|Aipom and Circumstance]]'', Aipom became jealous of [[Ash's Pikachu]]'s closeness to Ash. Aipom also seems to have a certain penchant for headgear; aside from taking Ash's and other participants' hats, Aipom wore a daisy chain on her head and put on a ceremonial crown that the locals had trouble getting off. Aipom's gender was confirmed in the Japanese version of ''Aipom and Circumstance''; while Aipom was nearby gathering flowers, {{an|May}} said, 「エイパムやっぱり女の子ね？」 ''Aipom is a girl after all, isn't she?''. In [[DP048]], Dawn also explicitly calls Aipom a girl, and in the dub of ''[[DP039|Steamboat Willies]]'', both Aipom and {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}} are referred to as girls, confirming them to be female.<br /> <br /> Aipom enjoys participating in [[Pokémon Contest]]s. Her interest was first perked in ''[[AG181|Thinning the Hoard]]'' where she took an interest in May's battle with Harley. Aipom also watched her battle with Drew before enticing Ash into catching her. In ''[[DP011|Mounting a Coordinator Assault]]'', Aipom was entered into her first contest with Ash. They got through the Appeal Round but lost the first battle round to [[Zoey]] and her {{TP|Zoey|Glameow}}. In ''[[DP022|Borrowing on Bad Faith]]'', Aipom entered an unofficial contest under the command of [[Jessie]] and won against [[Dawn's Pachirisu]]. Zoey suggested that Ash give Aipom to Dawn.<br /> <br /> While Ash had Aipom, she usually sat on his left shoulder when outside of her Poké Ball, in contrast to Pikachu sitting on his right shoulder.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Satoshitoeipam.jpg|Ash and Aipom|thumb|right|190px]]<br /> In order to bring back {{AP|Torkoal}} to battle [[Pyramid King Brandon|Brandon]]'s {{p|Registeel}}, Ash sent Aipom to [[Professor Oak]], where Aipom had quite a bit of trouble adjusting to the new environment and lack of Ash. However, after Ash's second defeat, Aipom returned.<br /> <br /> When Ash left for [[Sinnoh]], leaving all his Pokémon but {{AP|Pikachu}} behind as he did when leaving for [[Hoenn]], Aipom snuck aboard the boat he was traveling on to accompany him on his new journey. During her journey through Sinnoh, Aipom has defeated [[Paul's Chimchar]] in battle and helped Ash capture his {{TP|Ash|Starly}}. Ash also used her in his first two Gym battles in the region.<br /> <br /> Aipom put up a fight against [[Roark's Cranidos]] in Ash's first match, however, she lost. In their rematch she fought {{p|Geodude}}. She also fought in Ash's second Gym Battle as well, going against [[Gardenia]]'s {{p|Roserade}}, which resulted in a victory, giving Ash his {{badge|Forest}}.<br /> <br /> ===With Dawn===<br /> [[Image:Dawn&amp;Ambipom.jpg|Dawn and Ambipom|thumb|left|190px]]<br /> In ''[[DP055|Throwing the Track Switch]]'', Ash began the training for his next Gym battle in [[Veilstone City]]. However, [[Dawn's Buizel]] seemed to be more interested in Ash's battle training and thus couldn't set its mind on Dawn's training; meanwhile Ash's Aipom appeared to have a similar problem in Ash's training because it tended to be more interested in Dawn's Contest training. Then Zoey proposed that Ash and Dawn trade them. After some soul-searching, the trainers agreed, and the trade took place. <br /> <br /> In ''[[DP060|Journey to the Unown!]]'', Aipom managed to learn {{m|Double Hit}}. {{si|Kenny}} appeared and told Dawn that Aipom would evolve soon. Later in the episode, when Dawn was being attacked by a group of {{p|Unown}}, Aipom jumped in front of Dawn to protect her and evolved into {{p|Ambipom}}.<br /> <br /> In ''[[DP061|Team Shocker!]]'', Dawn used Ambipom in her appeal for the {{to|Solaceon}} {{pkmn|Contest}}, but failed to pass the Appeal Round. [[Zoey]] explained to Dawn that she failed due to an overuse of {{m|Swift}}, blocking {{p|Ambipom}} from view. Ambipom also learned how to break dance, by spinning its tail to make waves of Swift attacks.<br /> <br /> In ''[[DP067|Crossing the Battle Line!]]'', Dawn used Ambipom in her gym battle against [[Maylene]]. She defeated Maylene's {{p|Meditite}}, however she was defeated by [[Maylene's Lucario]].<br /> <br /> In ''[[DP077|Staging a Heroes Welcome]]'', Dawn once again used Ambipom for the appeal round in the [[Wallace Cup]]. She managed to pass the round by dazzling the judges with {{m|Swift}}, {{m|Focus Punch}}, and {{m|Double Hit}}.<br /> <br /> In [[DP095]] Dawn used her in the {{to|Celestic}} Contest Battle Rounds. Ambipom was able to easily defeat her first two opponents and then went up against [[Yuri]]'s {{p|Delcatty}}. Ambipom won the Contest by using combinations of {{m|Double Hit}}, {{m|Focus Punch}}, {{m|Double Team}}, and {{m|Swift}}.<br /> <br /> ==Moves used==<br /> * {{m|Scratch}}<br /> * {{m|Fury Swipes}}<br /> * ''{{m|Swift}}''<br /> * ''{{m|Focus Punch}}''<br /> * ''{{m|Double Team}}''<br /> * ''{{m|Double Hit}}''<br /> (Moves that have been used most recently are italicized)<br /> <br /> ==Trivia==<br /> *For [[DP014]], [[Professor Oak's lecture]] is about Aipom. He writes this [[Pokémon senryū]] about her: エイパムが　しっぽでつかむ　サトシのハート ''{{tt|Eipam|Aipom}}, it seizes with its tail, Satoshi's heart.''<br /> *Aipom is one of the few Pokémon on the show to have its gender explicitly stated via dialog multiple times, including the dub of ''[[DP039|Steamboat Willies]]''.<br /> *Aipom is one of the few main characters' Pokémon to be traded, along with [[Jessie's Lickitung]] and [[Ash's Butterfree]].<br /> *Aipom shares some similarities with another of Ash's primate Pokémon, {{AP|Primeape}}. Both evolved while not owned by him - Primeape in the wild and Ambipom with Dawn. Both of these Pokémon have also annoyed Ash by stealing his {{AP|hat}}.<br /> *Aipom is the fourth Pokémon to take Ash's hat, after the aforementioned {{AP|Primeape}}, then {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{an|Latias}}.<br /> *Aipom is one of only a few Pokémon to defeat [[Brock's Croagunk]], while under Ash's control. The others are [[Paul's Torterra]], three {{p|Psyduck}} seen in [[DP087]], and [[Saturn]]'s {{p|Toxicroak}}.<br /> *Due to now being Dawn's Pokémon, Aipom is the only Pokémon owned by a main character that was introduced ''before'' the character.<br /> *Ambipom took as many episodes to evolve as another Pokémon that had a crush on Ash: {{AP|Chikorita}}. They are both {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}} as well, and they have very similar English and Japanese names.<br /> *Ambipom is the first, and as of the most recent Japanese episode only, of Dawn's Pokémon to evolve.<br /> *Ambipom is the second traded Pokémon in the anime to evolve, after [[James's second Weepinbell]].<br /> *Ambipom battled in the first three Gyms of Sinnoh, despite being traded to {{an|Dawn}} before Ash arrived in Veilstone City.<br /> *For [[DP073]], [[Professor Oak's lecture]] is about Dawn's Ambipom. This makes her the first Pokémon character to be the focus of the lecture twice.<br /> *Aipom was the first of five {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}} to be in the party of a member of the main cast during the [[Diamond &amp; Pearl series]], followed by {{TP|Brock|Sudowoodo}}, {{TP|Ash|Gligar}}, {{TP|Jessie|Yanma}}, and {{TP|Dawn|Swinub}} (second if one counts {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}).<br /> <br /> ==Related articles==<br /> *{{Animespeciesevo1|Aipom|Ambipom}}<br /> *[[Ash's Aipom (9th Movie Half Deck 10)]]<br /> <br /> ==External links==<br /> *[http://pokeani.com/poke/r_p-hikari5.html Eteboth's Profile] on [[Pokeani]] (Japanese)<br /> <br /> <br /> {{Anime Pokémon}}<br /> {{Dawn's Pokémon}}<br /> {{Ash's Pokémon}}<br /> {{Team Rocket's Pokémon}}<br /> [[Category:Ash's Pokémon|Aipom]]<br /> [[Category:Dawn's Pokémon|Ambipom]]<br /> [[Category:Recurring wild Pokémon|Aipom]]<br /> <br /> [[de:Lucias Ambidiffel]]<br /> [[pt:Ambipom de Dawn]]<br /> [[fr:Capidextre d'Aurore]]<br /> [[ja:ヒカリのエテボース]]</div>

His Japanese voice actress is 松本梨香 ''[[Rica Matsumoto]]'', his English voice actresses are [[Veronica Taylor]] ([[4Kids Entertainment]] dub) and [[Sarah Natochenny]] ([[Pokémon USA]] dub), his Brazilian voice actor is [[Fábio Lucindo]], his Italian voice actor is [[Davide Garbolino]], and his Spanish voice actors are [[Adolfo Moreno]] (Spain) and [[Gabriel Ramos]] (Latin America). In the first dub of [[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]] he was voiced by [[Kayzie Rogers|Jamie Peacock]]. <br /> <br /> Ash is apparently based on the main character of [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions]], {{ga|Red}}. He shares his name with the creator of the [[Pokémon]] franchise, [[Satoshi Tajiri]]. His Japanese name can be taken to mean &quot;wisdom&quot; or &quot;reason&quot; (智), and his English name has many meanings. His English last name is a pun on the original English Pokémon motto, &quot;[[Gotta Catch 'em All!]]&quot;. As for his first name, some note that &quot;Ash&quot; has the same letters found in ''S'''a'''to'''sh'''i''.<br /> <br /> {{spoilers}}<br /> <br /> ==In the anime==<br /> ===&lt;u&gt;Character&lt;/u&gt;===<br /> [[Image:Anime Ash.png|thumb|Ash Ketchum in the original series]]<br /> Ash's main goal in life, as described in the first episode, ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', is to be the world's greatest {{g|Master}}. Ash began his journey at the age of 10 as a warm-hearted and well-intentioned but stubborn and unskilled {{g|Trainer}}. He was forced to accept the irreverent {{AP|Pikachu}} from [[Professor Oak]] as his [[starter Pokémon]] because he carelessly broke his alarm clock and woke up late on the day he was set to get his first Pokémon. He was determined to achieve his goal, however, and when he showed his willingness to give up his own safety to keep Pikachu safe, he formed a strong bond of friendship with his Pokémon which would set his course for the future.<br /> <br /> However, from that point, Ash still had a lot to learn about becoming a Trainer. He [[captured Pokémon|caught]] his {{AP|Butterfree|first Pokémon}} by luck, knew nothing about {{g|battle|battling}}, and showed a reluctance to admit when he was wrong. Many of his first [[Gym]] [[badge]]s were given to him out of pity or gratitude for his assistance rather than claiming a victory in battle over the [[Gym Leader]]s. Every time he thought he was doing well, he would somehow cross paths with his childhood [[rival]], [[Gary Oak]], who always reminded Ash that he was always a step or seven behind.<br /> <br /> Ash's dedication to his goal paid off over time, and after earning his first eight badges, he competed in the [[Indigo League]], and advanced further in the rounds than Gary. After recovering from his defeat, he continued on to improve his skill, take on new challenges, and compete in more {{g|League}} competitions.<br /> <br /> Ash has changed a great deal over the course of the series, particularly in regards to his skill at {{g|training}}, but his earnestness and determination have remained. Never straying from his goal, he has remained loyal to his friends, his family, and his supporters, but most of all his Pokémon. Ash became a great Trainer by learning to find and use the inner strength of each of his Pokémon by bonding with them and learning where their hidden abilities lie, as well as resorting to unorthodox strategies when fighting particularly challenging opponents. For example, he uses his Pikachu's speed to outmaneuver larger foes and attack, and defeated [[Gary's Blastoise]] with his {{AP|Charizard}} by causing the field to overheat and have Charizard mount a close-range attack while Blastoise was blinded by the steam. He also prefers to train a Pokémon to be the best it can without making it evolve, and he is hesitant to let his Pokémon evolve to get stronger, as evidenced by his treatment of {{AP|Gligar}} in [[DP085]].<br /> <br /> [[Image:SatoshiAG.png|thumb|left|Ash in the Advanced Generation series]]<br /> Additionally, during the first season of the series, while Ash originally trained not to further himself but instead to catch more Pokémon than his rival, Gary. He later slowed his pace which allowed him to focus on the individual traits of each Pokémon. At the [[Johto]] League [[Silver Conference]], with great humility and maturity, Ash finally won a battle against his old rival, signifying a great milestone in his history. His maturity has also increased in his dealings with Pokémon, as when [[Ash's Primeape|a Mankey]] stole his {{AP|hat}} in ''[[EP025|Primeape Goes Bananas]]'', he screamed and yelled at it, even climbing trees just to get his hat back, but when [[Dawn's Ambipom|an Aipom]] did the same in ''[[AG179|Slaking Kong]]'', he stated merely that he would feel strange without a hat.<br /> <br /> In most episodes of the anime, especially those during the Johto League saga, Ash befriends someone who will influence him and cause him to strive to become a better Trainer. Although he is not a dependent individual, he is still young and has learned to make his way relying on his {{AP|friends}}, particularly the maternal skills of [[Brock]]. The honor of &quot;best friend&quot; is usually reserved for Pikachu but Ash has come to see his closest human friends in the same light over time; using the term for [[Misty]] and [[Brock]] in ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later]]'' as well as {{an|May}} and [[Max]] in ''[[AG178|Battling the Enemy Within]]''.<br /> <br /> He has traversed much of the {{g|world}} and has thus far participated in four [[Pokémon League#Championship competitions|Pokémon League regional competitions]], but he is still learning new things about Pokémon all the time.<br /> <br /> [[Image:AshAura.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Ash using Aura inside the [[Tree of Beginning]]]]<br /> Ash apparently has a close connection with [[Legendary Pokémon]], especially {{p|Ho-Oh}}, {{p|Lugia}}, and {{p|Shaymin}}. In the English dub of the [[The Power of One|second movie]], he was revealed to be &quot;The Chosen One&quot; - the one who would bring balance back to the world. Although viewed as a normal human, Ash does have some special abilities as he is said to have the same [[aura]] as [[Sir Aaron]], a legendary hero, and is theoretically able to manipulate it in much the same way. However, he has not received any training in this field, opting to continue his Pokémon journey instead. He has also been likened to an ancient [[aura]] guardian in ''[[DP056|The Keystone Pops!]]'', who also had a partner {{p|Pikachu}}. Later, in [[DP071]] and [[DP072]], Ash uses [[aura]] again to locate a lost {{p|Riolu}} and read Riolu's mind as well. However, these were one time deals, as Riolu had an unnaturally powerful aura.<br /> <br /> He has a [[Contest Pass]] for the [[Sinnoh]] region, though he has stated that the contest he got it for was the only one he intends on entering. He also has one for the Hoenn region as it was required to watch one of the contests held there. Ash also carries around a broken [[Poké Ball]], of which the other half belongs to Gary and is a symbol of their ongoing, but now friendly, rivalry, as well as [[Misty's special lure]], which she sent to him as a gift, and also half of a ribbon he received in a contest against May before she left the group to compete in Johto.<br /> &lt;br clear=&quot;left&quot;&gt;<br /> <br /> ===&lt;u&gt;Family&lt;/u&gt;===<br /> Ash lived with his mother, [[Delia Ketchum]], until he left for his Pokémon journey at the age of ten.<br /> <br /> His father is never introduced. The anime suggests that his father was once a Pokémon Trainer, but it is unclear whether he is still living. There has been much discussion in the fandom as to the identity of Ash's father, though the writers have chosen to not focus on this aspect of Ash's life. Common characters put forward by fans for the role are [[Giovanni]], [[Professor Oak]] and {{an|Silver}}. In {{g|Live!}}, Delia told Ash that Giovanni had once been her boyfriend, and that he was Ash's father. However, this has never been officially acknowledged.<br /> <br /> Ash is an only child, breaking from the tradition of several other main characters, with the exception of {{an|Dawn}} and possibly {{Tracey}}, whose siblings are often a foil or focal point in their lives.<br /> <br /> ===Pokémon===<br /> ====On hand====<br /> &lt;!--Don't touch the tables if you don't know what you're doing.

In Hoenn he has only caught Treecko, which evolved into a Grovyle and later on a Sceptile. As for Sinnoh he is only missing {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}.<br /> *In [[EP009|the ninth episode]] Ash mentioned that he had been a Pokémon trainer for 2 months. This time frame is further reinforced when Ash learns that the Pokémon League will begin in two months when he [[EP065|returns to Pallet Town]] after earning his eighth badge - he arrives at Indigo Stadium [[EP074|nine episodes later]]. If time continued at this rate, he would be at least 20 years old in the latest Japanese episode, something that's implied strongly by {{MTR}} in ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation!]]''. However, given that some episodes take place directly after each other, this time frame is clearly not consistent. <br /> * Ash has been mistaken to be the son of two women from [[Kanto]] and the [[Orange Islands]]. The first time was in ''[[EP027|Hypno's Naptime]]'' where he was mistaken for a boy named Arnold, while the second was in ''[[EP108|Pokémon Double Trouble]]'' when [[Luana]] mistook him for her son [[Travis]].<br /> *Ash has caught 49 &lt;!--Count good as of DP100: the evolution of Turtwig into Grotle--&gt;different kinds of Pokémon, including evolutions and counting Larvitar, Seaking, Beedrill, Haunter, and Raticate, even though Larvitar and Haunter were not officially his, Beedrill was given away nearly immediately, and Seaking was released as part of contest rules. The original tagline for the dub was &quot;[[Gotta Catch 'em All!]]&quot;, but Ash has only caught 9.74% of the current number of Pokémon. This line was eventually dropped in 2003, when he only had 8.03% of the then total of 386.<br /> *Ash has caught or received 64 different individual Pokémon, 30 of which are his Tauros.<br /> *Ash's first choice of a starter was Squirtle. Later, it is revealed that Gary was the one who, in fact, chose Squirtle. Ash's second choice was Bulbasaur, while his third was Charmander.<br /> *So far, every time Ash becomes the champion of something, he then battles and gets defeated by {{Gary}} a few episodes later, before heading off to a new region. This has happened after his championing of the [[Orange League]] and the Hoenn {{ho|Battle Frontier}}, which were both &quot;filler seasons&quot; before the start of even-numbered generations.<br /> *In ''[[EP241|Hocus Pokémon]]'', Ash was transformed into a {{p|Pikachu}}. This transformed state is sometimes referred to as [[Ashachu]].<br /> *Ash has captured each [[generation]]'s {{type2|Grass}} [[starter Pokémon]] (Bulbasaur, Chikorita, Treecko, Turtwig).<br /> *In both the [[Timeline of events in the anime#Kanto|Kanto]] and [[Timeline of events in the anime#Johto|Johto]] story arcs, Ash managed to capture all three of the starter Pokémon for both regions. This trend was broken in the [[Advanced Generation series]], where he only captured {{AP|Treecko}}, while the other two were {{OP|May|Torchic}} and {{OP|Brock|Mudkip}}. However, it is possible that the trend will be reestablished in the [[Diamond &amp; Pearl series]] story arc, as Ash has already managed to capture both a {{AP|Turtwig}} and {{AP|Chimchar}}, two of the Sinnoh region's starter Pokémon. This is unlikely, however, as {{an|Dawn}} already has the third, {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}.<br /> **However, he did command Piplup during ''[[DP046|A-Maze-ing Race!]]'', and Chimchar during its last few minutes on Paul's team.<br /> *Ash has captured one {{type2|Flying}} Pokémon from each series region that players can encounter early in different games: {{AP|Pidgeotto}}, {{AP|Noctowl}}, {{AP|Taillow}}, and {{AP|Starly}}.<br /> *In each region (except for the Orange Islands), Ash always loses against at least one of the [[Gym Leader]]s before challenging them to a rematch.<br /> *With the exception of Koga, Ash had to either do some sort of heroic deed or re-challenge all of the Kanto Gym Leaders to earn his badge. This, however, never applied to his Earth Badge, as he never battled against Giovanni himself, instead challenging the Team Rocket trio that had constantly followed him.<br /> *So far, Ash always befriends someone shortly before the regional tournament. That person will beat Ash later on in the semifinals.<br /> *Though not as touched on anymore, a running gag in the English version of the series involved [[Delia Ketchum|his mother]] making sure that Ash changed his underwear every single day.<br /> *Ash's room, seen at the start of [[EP001|the first episode]], contains a lot of merchandise based off various Pokémon, including a bedspread with a [[Poké Ball]] pattern, a trash can with a {{p|Staryu}} on it, a big {{p|Snorlax}} [[Pokémon doll|doll]], a {{p|Poliwag}} pencil sharpener, a {{p|Clefairy}} bank, a {{p|Zubat}} mobile, a poster with {{p|Squirtle}}, {{p|Bulbasaur}} and {{p|Charmander}}, and a {{p|Voltorb}} alarm clock with a {{p|Pidgey}} inside it which he breaks in his sleep. He also has many books, a globe, a boombox, a television and a [[Bug Catcher]]'s net. Based on the slanting of the ceiling of his room, it is probably in the attic of his house.<br /> *During his adventures in Kanto, Johto and the Orange Islands, Ash pinned his badges to the inside of his jacket. From Hoenn onwards, they have been kept in some form of case. It is unknown where the badges of Ash's previous journeys are, though it is assumed that they are kept somewhere in his house. Delia placed Ash's trophy from the Orange Islands on top of the television, though this was missing when Ash looked in his living room in ''[[AG192|Home is Where the Start Is]]''. Interestingly, the scene following it showed an identical trophy placed in Professor Oak's lab.<br /> *Each time Ash successfully wins his eighth badge, all eight are stolen, though soon after returned. It is unknown if this will happen again in the [[Diamond &amp; Pearl series]].<br /> *The most badges Ash has ever gotten in the first thirty-five episodes were six badges in Kanto, which makes sense considering that Kanto was significantly shorter than any other saga (aside from the Orange Island saga and the Battle Frontier saga). In every other region thus far, he has only won two badges in the first thirty-five episodes.<br /> *The only girl Ash has even shown a confirmed [[Shipping|interest]] is named [[Giselle]] whom appeared in ''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]''.<br /> *The only {{type2|Fire}} starter Ash has not owned is {{p|Torchic}}.<br /> *Ash is the only {{ashfr|main character}} that has caught a {{shiny2}} Pokémon, which is his {{AP|Noctowl}}.<br /> *Ash has two rivals that started off with turtle-like Pokémon. Gary started with [[Gary's Blastoise|Squirtle]] and Paul started off with [[Paul's Torterra|Turtwig]].<br /> *Ash also has two female friends that started off with bird-like Pokémon. May started off with {{TP|May|Torchic}} and Dawn started off with {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}.<br /> *The characters of the anime that share Ash's voice actress, both in English and in Japanese, are usually female or Pokémon.<br /> *In the case of Ash's Fire-type Pokémon, he always somehow saves them before capturing them, either from an abusive trainer or from other Pokémon.<br /> *Because Ash began wearing his AG clothes before leaving for Hoenn and did not change into his DP clothes until after he arrived in Sinnoh, Ash wore the AG clothes during episodes from all three series.<br /> [[Image:Ash maid.jpg|200px|thumb|Ash crossdressed for a third time.]]<br /> *Ash has crossdressed once in each anime series: ''[[EP026|Pokémon Scent-sation!]]'' was the first time, in the [[original series]], ''[[AG042|Love at First Flight]]'' was the second, in the {{series|Advanced Generation}}, and ''[[DP062|Tanks for the Memories!]]'' was the third, in the {{series|Diamond &amp; Pearl}}. Each time Ash has crossdressed, he was never willing to do so and was coerced or forced into it in some fashion.<br /> **In addition to dressing as a girl, Ash has dressed up as fruit on at least two occasions. The first time, he dressed as an apple in ''[[EP107|Pokémon Food Fight!]]'' while the second he dressed as an eggplant in ''[[AG104|Claydol Big and Tall]]''. On both occasions he was used to lure a large Pokémon.<br /> **Ash has also had to dress up on numerous occasions as actual Pokémon to help out the [[characters of the day]]. He has so far been a Mr. Mime in ''[[EP064|It's Mr. Mime Time]]'', as an Octillery in ''[[EP215|Octillery the Outcast]]'' and as a Seviper in ''[[AG048|Zig Zag Zangoose!]]''.<br /> *Ash has owned four Pokémon that have also been owned by [[Gym Leaders]]. [[Falkner]] ({{AP|Pidgeot}}), [[Flannery]] ({{AP|Torkoal}}), [[Winona]] ({{AP|Swellow}}), and [[Gardenia]] ({{AP|Turtwig}}). Coincidently, all of them either have bird or turtle-like Pokémon. Other Gym Leaders have owned Pokémon that happened to be either the evolved form or pre-evolved form of one of Ash's Pokémon. [[Lt. Surge's Raichu]] ({{AP|Pikachu}}), [[Cissy]]'s {{p|Blastoise}} ({{AP|Squirtle}}), [[Falkner]]'s {{p|Hoothoot}} ({{AP|Noctowl}}), [[Bugsy]]'s {{p|Metapod}} ({{AP|Butterfree}}), and [[Crasher Wake]]'s {{p|Floatzel}} ({{AP|Buizel}}). <br /> ** A related coincidence is that three of the four female Gym Leaders listed above, own a turtle/tortoise-like Pokémon. <br /> *Ash last released a Pokémon during the original series. Since its end, he has been leaving his Pokémon at [[Professor Oak]]'s lab often, a [[EP061|habit]] he got from [[Misty]].<br /> *All of Ash's primate-based Pokémon have been owned by two Trainers - [[Paul]] previously owned {{AP|Chimchar}}, {{ka|Anthony}} currently owns {{AP|Primeape}}, and Dawn currently owns Aipom which later evolved into {{TP|Dawn|Ambipom}}.<br /> *All of Ash's Pokémon that have evolved twice ({{AP|Charizard}}, {{AP|Sceptile}} and {{AP|Butterfree}}) also have cross-generation counterparts on {{an|May}}'s team ({{TP|May|Blaziken}}, {{TP|May|Venusaur}}, and {{TP|May|Beautifly}}, respectively).<br /> *Ash has the most Pokémon that know moves that [[Anime move errors|they can't learn in the games]]: [[Ash's Butterfree|Caterpie]] with {{m|Counter}}, {{AP|Charizard}} with {{m|Tackle}}, {{AP|Bulbasaur}} with {{m|Tickle}} (debatable), {{m|Dig}}, and {{m|Whirlwind}}, {{AP|Raticate}} with {{m|Hi Jump Kick}}, {{AP|Staravia}} with {{m|Gust}}, and {{AP|Larvitar}} with {{m|Harden}}.<br /> *Although Ash is the main character of the Pokémon anime, he has never been featured on an English TCG card.<br /> *Ash has three turtle-like Pokémon: Squirtle, Torkoal and Grotle. Each corresponds to one of the three elemental types of the starter Pokémon, though Torkoal isn't a starter itself.<br /> *Despite having two [[Soothe Bell]]s, Ash has yet to capture any Pokémon that evolve through happiness, while both Brock and Dawn have Pokémon on their team that undergo happiness evolutions at some stage ({{TP|Dawn|Buneary}} and {{TP|Brock|Happiny}}). <br /> *Ash has owned at least one Pokémon of each type except {{t|Dark}}, {{t|Dragon}}, {{t|Steel}}, and {{t|Psychic}}.<br /> *Discounting [[Koga]], who was a [[Gym Leader]] at the time of Ash's battle against him, Ash has so far battled three [[Elite Four]] members, namely [[Lorelei|Prima]], {{EF|Drake}} and [[Agatha]], losing to all three. He has met all four of Generation I Kanto's Elite Four, two of Generation II's, one of Hoenn's, and one of Sinnoh's. He has also met all five in-game champions (or their anime counterparts, at least).<br /> *It is interesting to note that Ash's {{series|Diamond &amp; Pearl}} outfit looks much like {{ga|Lucas}}'s. The biggest difference between the two is the fact that Lucas wears a scarf, and that Ash retains the {{wp|baseball cap}} style for his hat, while Lucas's is a {{wp|flat cap}}.<br /> *Four of Ash's Pokémon have been introduced to moves by someone else: {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{m|Iron Tail}}, {{AP|Swellow}} and {{m|Aerial Ace}}, {{AP|Turtwig}} and {{m|Energy Ball}}, and {{AP|Staravia}} and {{m|Brave Bird}}. Of these, three are [[TM]] moves in the games.<br /> *Three of Ash's Pokémon were caught by him after first premiering in Pokémon movies: {{AP|Donphan}} (''[[Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''), {{AP|Aipom}} (''[[Spell of the Unown]]'') and {{AP|Buizel}} (''[[Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'').<br /> ** Strangely, both Donphan and Aipom are {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}} and were both used in battle against him by an opponent during the opening credits of the movies.<br /> *Altogether, if the movies are considered to be canon, Ash has seen at least twenty-seven different species of legendary Pokémon, and at least ten of them multiple times.<br /> *Seven of Ash's Pokémon decided to join him without battling him (Gligar, Chimchar, Lapras, Chikorita, Charmander, Squirtle, and Torkoal), while another five accepted a challenge against them and were subsequently captured (Turtwig, Treecko, Bulbasaur, Snorunt and Aipom). All of the others he naturally encountered and captured.<br /> <br /> ==Names==<br /> {| border=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;border: 1px solid #88a; border-collapse: collapse;&quot; cellspacing=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;2&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background: #ccf;&quot;<br /> !

His Japanese voice actress is 松本梨香 ''[[Rica Matsumoto]]'', his English voice actresses are [[Veronica Taylor]] ([[4Kids Entertainment]] dub) and [[Sarah Natochenny]] ([[Pokémon USA]] dub), his Brazilian voice actor is [[Fábio Lucindo]], his Italian voice actor is [[Davide Garbolino]], and his Spanish voice actors are [[Adolfo Moreno]] (Spain) and [[Gabriel Ramos]] (Latin America). In the first dub of [[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]] he was voiced by [[Kayzie Rogers|Jamie Peacock]]. <br /> <br /> Ash is apparently based on the main character of [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions]], {{ga|Red}}. He shares his name with the creator of the [[Pokémon]] franchise, [[Satoshi Tajiri]]. His Japanese name can be taken to mean &quot;wisdom&quot; or &quot;reason&quot; (智), and his English name has many meanings. His English last name is a pun on the original English Pokémon motto, &quot;[[Gotta Catch 'em All!]]&quot;. As for his first name, some note that &quot;Ash&quot; has the same letters found in ''S'''a'''to'''sh'''i''.<br /> <br /> {{spoilers}}<br /> <br /> ==In the anime==<br /> ===&lt;u&gt;Character&lt;/u&gt;===<br /> [[Image:Anime Ash.png|thumb|Ash Ketchum in the original series]]<br /> Ash's main goal in life, as described in the first episode, ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', is to be the world's greatest {{g|Master}}. Ash began his journey at the age of 10 as a warm-hearted and well-intentioned but stubborn and unskilled {{g|Trainer}}. He was forced to accept the irreverent {{AP|Pikachu}} from [[Professor Oak]] as his [[starter Pokémon]] because he carelessly broke his alarm clock and woke up late on the day he was set to get his first Pokémon. He was determined to achieve his goal, however, and when he showed his willingness to give up his own safety to keep Pikachu safe, he formed a strong bond of friendship with his Pokémon which would set his course for the future.<br /> <br /> However, from that point, Ash still had a lot to learn about becoming a Trainer. He [[captured Pokémon|caught]] his {{AP|Butterfree|first Pokémon}} by luck, knew nothing about {{g|battle|battling}}, and showed a reluctance to admit when he was wrong. Many of his first [[Gym]] [[badge]]s were given to him out of pity or gratitude for his assistance rather than claiming a victory in battle over the [[Gym Leader]]s. Every time he thought he was doing well, he would somehow cross paths with his childhood [[rival]], [[Gary Oak]], who always reminded Ash that he was always a step or seven behind.<br /> <br /> Ash's dedication to his goal paid off over time, and after earning his first eight badges, he competed in the [[Indigo League]], and advanced further in the rounds than Gary. After recovering from his defeat, he continued on to improve his skill, take on new challenges, and compete in more {{g|League}} competitions.<br /> <br /> Ash has changed a great deal over the course of the series, particularly in regards to his skill at {{g|training}}, but his earnestness and determination have remained. Never straying from his goal, he has remained loyal to his friends, his family, and his supporters, but most of all his Pokémon. Ash became a great Trainer by learning to find and use the inner strength of each of his Pokémon by bonding with them and learning where their hidden abilities lie, as well as resorting to unorthodox strategies when fighting particularly challenging opponents. For example, he uses his Pikachu's speed to outmaneuver larger foes and attack, and defeated [[Gary's Blastoise]] with his {{AP|Charizard}} by causing the field to overheat and have Charizard mount a close-range attack while Blastoise was blinded by the steam. He also prefers to train a Pokémon to be the best it can without making it evolve, and he is hesitant to let his Pokémon evolve to get stronger, as evidenced by his treatment of {{AP|Gligar}} in [[DP085]].<br /> <br /> [[Image:SatoshiAG.png|thumb|left|Ash in the Advanced Generation series]]<br /> Additionally, during the first season of the series, while Ash originally trained not to further himself but instead to catch more Pokémon than his rival, Gary. He later slowed his pace which allowed him to focus on the individual traits of each Pokémon. At the [[Johto]] League [[Silver Conference]], with great humility and maturity, Ash finally won a battle against his old rival, signifying a great milestone in his history. His maturity has also increased in his dealings with Pokémon, as when [[Ash's Primeape|a Mankey]] stole his {{AP|hat}} in ''[[EP025|Primeape Goes Bananas]]'', he screamed and yelled at it, even climbing trees just to get his hat back, but when [[Dawn's Ambipom|an Aipom]] did the same in ''[[AG179|Slaking Kong]]'', he stated merely that he would feel strange without a hat.<br /> <br /> In most episodes of the anime, especially those during the Johto League saga, Ash befriends someone who will influence him and cause him to strive to become a better Trainer. Although he is not a dependent individual, he is still young and has learned to make his way relying on his {{AP|friends}}, particularly the maternal skills of [[Brock]]. The honor of &quot;best friend&quot; is usually reserved for Pikachu but Ash has come to see his closest human friends in the same light over time; using the term for [[Misty]] and [[Brock]] in ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later]]'' as well as {{an|May}} and [[Max]] in ''[[AG178|Battling the Enemy Within]]''.<br /> <br /> He has traversed much of the {{g|world}} and has thus far participated in four [[Pokémon League#Championship competitions|Pokémon League regional competitions]], but he is still learning new things about Pokémon all the time.<br /> <br /> [[Image:AshAura.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Ash using Aura inside the [[Tree of Beginning]]]]<br /> Ash apparently has a close connection with [[Legendary Pokémon]], especially {{p|Ho-Oh}}, {{p|Lugia}}, and {{p|Shaymin}}. In the English dub of the [[The Power of One|second movie]], he was revealed to be &quot;The Chosen One&quot; - the one who would bring balance back to the world. Although viewed as a normal human, Ash does have some special abilities as he is said to have the same [[aura]] as [[Sir Aaron]], a legendary hero, and is theoretically able to manipulate it in much the same way. However, he has not received any training in this field, opting to continue his Pokémon journey instead. He has also been likened to an ancient [[aura]] guardian in ''[[DP056|The Keystone Pops!]]'', who also had a partner {{p|Pikachu}}. Later, in [[DP071]] and [[DP072]], Ash uses [[aura]] again to locate a lost {{p|Riolu}} and read Riolu's mind as well. However, these were one time deals, as Riolu had an unnaturally powerful aura.<br /> <br /> He has a [[Contest Pass]] for the [[Sinnoh]] region, though he has stated that the contest he got it for was the only one he intends on entering. He also has one for the Hoenn region as it was required to watch one of the contests held there. Ash also carries around a broken [[Poké Ball]], of which the other half belongs to Gary and is a symbol of their ongoing, but now friendly, rivalry, as well as [[Misty's special lure]], which she sent to him as a gift, and also half of a ribbon he received in a contest against May before she left the group to compete in Johto.<br /> &lt;br clear=&quot;left&quot;&gt;<br /> <br /> ===&lt;u&gt;Family&lt;/u&gt;===<br /> Ash lived with his mother, [[Delia Ketchum]], until he left for his Pokémon journey at the age of ten.<br /> <br /> His father is never introduced. The anime suggests that his father was once a Pokémon Trainer, but it is unclear whether he is still living. There has been much discussion in the fandom as to the identity of Ash's father, though the writers have chosen to not focus on this aspect of Ash's life. Common characters put forward by fans for the role are [[Giovanni]], [[Professor Oak]] and {{an|Silver}}. In {{g|Live!}}, Delia told Ash that Giovanni had once been her boyfriend, and that he was Ash's father. However, this has never been officially acknowledged.<br /> <br /> Ash is an only child, breaking from the tradition of several other main characters, with the exception of {{an|Dawn}} and possibly {{Tracey}}, whose siblings are often a foil or focal point in their lives.<br /> <br /> ===Pokémon===<br /> ====On hand====<br /> &lt;!--Don't touch the tables if you don't know what you're doing.

For example, while anime Ash is indifferent to romance or members of the opposite gender (or same gender, some may argue), manga Ash has a big crush on Gary's sister, [[May Oak]]. He's also prone to quickly falling in love like Brock, but to a much less extreme degree.<br /> ===Pokémon===<br /> [[Image:Satoshidengeki.PNG|thumb|right|Ash in [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]] manga.]]<br /> {|border=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;border: 1px solid #000; border-collapse: collapse;&quot; width=300px cellspacing=&quot;0&quot;<br /> |-<br /> | align=center | [[Image:025.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{AP|Pikachu}}<br /> | align=center | [[Image:022.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{AP|Fearow}}<br /> | align=center | [[Image:017.png]]&lt;br&gt;[[Ash's Pidgeot|Pidgeotto]]<br /> |-<br /> | align=center colspan=3 | [[Image:010.png]] &amp;rarr; [[Image:011.png]] &amp;rarr; [[Image:012.png]]&lt;br&gt;[[Ash's Butterfree|Caterpie &amp;rarr; Metapod &amp;rarr; Butterfree]]<br /> |-<br /> | align=center colspan=3 | [[Image:004.png]] &amp;rarr; [[Image:005.png]] &amp;rarr; [[Image:006.png]]&lt;br&gt;[[Ash's Charizard|Charmander &amp;rarr; Charmeleon &amp;rarr; Charizard]]<br /> |-<br /> | align=center | [[Image:001.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{AP|Bulbasaur}}<br /> | align=center | [[Image:007.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{AP|Squirtle}}<br /> | align=center | [[Image:043.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{p|Oddish}}<br /> |-<br /> | align=center | [[Image:015.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{p|Beedrill}}<br /> | align=center | [[Image:099.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{AP|Kingler}}<br /> | align=center | [[Image:089.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{AP|Muk}}<br /> |-<br /> | align=center | [[Image:128.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{AP|Tauros}}<br /> | align=center | [[Image:131.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{AP|Lapras}}<br /> | align=center | [[Image:143.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{AP|Snorlax}}<br /> |}<br /> <br /> ====Traded away====<br /> {|border=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;border: 1px solid #000; border-collapse: collapse;&quot; width=150px cellspacing=&quot;0&quot;<br /> |-<br /> | align=center | [[Image:056.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{p|Mankey}} (Given away for a map, which turns out to be fake)<br /> | align=center | [[Image:079.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{p|Slowpoke}} ([[Giant Pokémon|Giant]])&lt;br&gt;(Given away to [[Gary]] for [[May Oak]]'s photo)<br /> |}<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> ==In the TCG==<br /> This listing is of cards mentioning or featuring Ash or his Pokémon in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]].<br /> <br /> {| {{bluetable}} <br /> |- style=&quot;background: #DDDDFF;&quot;<br /> !Name<br /> !Type<br /> !Level<br /> !Rarity<br /> !Set<br /> !Set no.<br /> |-<br /> | {{TCG ID|7th Movie Half Deck|Ash's Torkoal|9}} || {{e|Fighting}} || - || - || {{TCG|7th Movie Half Deck}} (no English release) || 9/19<br /> |-<br /> | {{TCG ID|8th Movie Half Deck|Ash's Grovyle|1}} || {{e|Grass}} || - || - || {{TCG|8th Movie Half Deck}} (no English release) || 1/20<br /> |-<br /> | {{TCG ID|8th Movie Half Deck|Ash's Phanpy|4}} || {{e|Fighting}} || - || - || {{TCG|8th Movie Half Deck}} (no English release) || 4/20<br /> |-<br /> | {{TCG ID|8th Movie Half Deck|Ash's Swellow|7}} || {{e|Colorless}} || - || - || {{TCG|8th Movie Half Deck}} (no English release) || 7/20<br /> |-<br /> | {{TCG ID|9th Movie Half Deck|Ash's Aipom|10}} || {{e|Colorless}} || - || - || {{TCG|9th Movie Half Deck}} (no English release) || 10/19<br /> |-<br /> | {{TCG ID|&quot;ADV-P&quot; Promo|Ash's Treecko|36}} || {{e|Grass}} || - || - || {{TCG|&quot;ADV-P&quot; Promotional cards}} (no English release) || 36/&quot;ADV-P&quot;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> ==Trivia==<br /> <br /> *Hoenn and Sinnoh are the only regions wherein Ash did not catch all of the [[starter Pokémon]]. In Hoenn he has only caught Treecko, which evolved into a Grovyle and later on a Sceptile. As for Sinnoh he is only missing {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}.<br /> *In [[EP009|the ninth episode]] Ash mentioned that he had been a Pokémon trainer for 2 months. This time frame is further reinforced when Ash learns that the Pokémon League will begin in two months when he [[EP065|returns to Pallet Town]] after earning his eighth badge - he arrives at Indigo Stadium [[EP074|nine episodes later]]. If time continued at this rate, he would be at least 20 years old in the latest Japanese episode, something that's implied strongly by {{MTR}} in ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation!]]''. However, given that some episodes take place directly after each other, this time frame is clearly not consistent. <br /> * Ash has been mistaken to be the son of two women from [[Kanto]] and the [[Orange Islands]]. The first time was in ''[[EP027|Hypno's Naptime]]'' where he was mistaken for a boy named Arnold, while the second was in ''[[EP108|Pokémon Double Trouble]]'' when [[Luana]] mistook him for her son [[Travis]].<br /> *Ash has caught 49 &lt;!--Count good as of DP100: the evolution of Turtwig into Grotle--&gt;different kinds of Pokémon, including evolutions and counting Larvitar, Seaking, Beedrill, Haunter, and Raticate, even though Larvitar and Haunter were not officially his, Beedrill was given away nearly immediately, and Seaking was released as part of contest rules. The original tagline for the dub was &quot;[[Gotta Catch 'em All!]]&quot;, but Ash has only caught 9.74% of the current number of Pokémon. This line was eventually dropped in 2003, when he only had 8.03% of the then total of 386.<br /> *Ash has caught or received 64 different individual Pokémon, 30 of which are his Tauros.<br /> *Ash's first choice of a starter was Squirtle. Later, it is revealed that Gary was the one who, in fact, chose Squirtle. Ash's second choice was Bulbasaur, while his third was Charmander.<br /> *So far, every time Ash becomes the champion of something, he then battles and gets defeated by {{Gary}} a few episodes later, before heading off to a new region. This has happened after his championing of the [[Orange League]] and the Hoenn {{ho|Battle Frontier}}, which were both &quot;filler seasons&quot; before the start of even-numbered generations.<br /> *In ''[[EP241|Hocus Pokémon]]'', Ash was transformed into a {{p|Pikachu}}. This transformed state is sometimes referred to as [[Ashachu]].<br /> *Ash has captured each [[generation]]'s {{type2|Grass}} [[starter Pokémon]] (Bulbasaur, Chikorita, Treecko, Turtwig).<br /> *In both the [[Timeline of events in the anime#Kanto|Kanto]] and [[Timeline of events in the anime#Johto|Johto]] story arcs, Ash managed to capture all three of the starter Pokémon for both regions. This trend was broken in the [[Advanced Generation series]], where he only captured {{AP|Treecko}}, while the other two were {{OP|May|Torchic}} and {{OP|Brock|Mudkip}}. However, it is possible that the trend will be reestablished in the [[Diamond &amp; Pearl series]] story arc, as Ash has already managed to capture both a {{AP|Turtwig}} and {{AP|Chimchar}}, two of the Sinnoh region's starter Pokémon. This is unlikely, however, as {{an|Dawn}} already has the third, {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}.<br /> **However, he did command Piplup during ''[[DP046|A-Maze-ing Race!]]'', and Chimchar during its last few minutes on Paul's team.<br /> *Ash has captured one {{type2|Flying}} Pokémon from each series region that players can encounter early in different games: {{AP|Pidgeotto}}, {{AP|Noctowl}}, {{AP|Taillow}}, and {{AP|Starly}}.<br /> *In each region (except for the Orange Islands), Ash always loses against at least one of the [[Gym Leader]]s before challenging them to a rematch.<br /> *With the exception of Koga, Ash had to either do some sort of heroic deed or re-challenge all of the Kanto Gym Leaders to earn his badge. This, however, never applied to his Earth Badge, as he never battled against Giovanni himself, instead challenging the Team Rocket trio that had constantly followed him.<br /> *So far, Ash always befriends someone shortly before the regional tournament. That person will beat Ash later on in the semifinals.<br /> *Though not as touched on anymore, a running gag in the English version of the series involved [[Delia Ketchum|his mother]] making sure that Ash changed his underwear every single day.<br /> *Ash's room, seen at the start of [[EP001|the first episode]], contains a lot of merchandise based off various Pokémon, including a bedspread with a [[Poké Ball]] pattern, a trash can with a {{p|Staryu}} on it, a big {{p|Snorlax}} [[Pokémon doll|doll]], a {{p|Poliwag}} pencil sharpener, a {{p|Clefairy}} bank, a {{p|Zubat}} mobile, a poster with {{p|Squirtle}}, {{p|Bulbasaur}} and {{p|Charmander}}, and a {{p|Voltorb}} alarm clock with a {{p|Pidgey}} inside it which he breaks in his sleep. He also has many books, a globe, a boombox, a television and a [[Bug Catcher]]'s net. Based on the slanting of the ceiling of his room, it is probably in the attic of his house.<br /> *During his adventures in Kanto, Johto and the Orange Islands, Ash pinned his badges to the inside of his jacket. From Hoenn onwards, they have been kept in some form of case. It is unknown where the badges of Ash's previous journeys are, though it is assumed that they are kept somewhere in his house. Delia placed Ash's trophy from the Orange Islands on top of the television, though this was missing when Ash looked in his living room in ''[[AG192|Home is Where the Start Is]]''. Interestingly, the scene following it showed an identical trophy placed in Professor Oak's lab.<br /> *Each time Ash successfully wins his eighth badge, all eight are stolen, though soon after returned. It is unknown if this will happen again in the [[Diamond &amp; Pearl series]].<br /> *The most badges Ash has ever gotten in the first thirty-five episodes were six badges in Kanto, which makes sense considering that Kanto was significantly shorter than any other saga (aside from the Orange Island saga and the Battle Frontier saga). In every other region thus far, he has only won two badges in the first thirty-five episodes.<br /> *The only girl Ash has even shown a confirmed [[Shipping|interest]] is named [[Giselle]] whom appeared in ''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]''.<br /> *The only {{type2|Fire}} starter Ash has not owned is {{p|Torchic}}.<br /> *Ash is the only {{ashfr|main character}} that has caught a {{shiny2}} Pokémon, which is his {{AP|Noctowl}}.<br /> *Ash has two rivals that started off with turtle-like Pokémon. Gary started with [[Gary's Blastoise|Squirtle]] and Paul started off with [[Paul's Torterra|Turtwig]].<br /> *Ash also has two female friends that started off with bird-like Pokémon. May started off with {{TP|May|Torchic}} and Dawn started off with {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}.<br /> *The characters of the anime that share Ash's voice actress, both in English and in Japanese, are usually female or Pokémon.<br /> *In the case of Ash's Fire-type Pokémon, he always somehow saves them before capturing them, either from an abusive trainer or from other Pokémon.<br /> *Because Ash began wearing his AG clothes before leaving for Hoenn and did not change into his DP clothes until after he arrived in Sinnoh, Ash wore the AG clothes during episodes from all three series.<br /> [[Image:Ash maid.jpg|200px|thumb|Ash crossdressed for a third time.]]<br /> *Ash has crossdressed once in each anime series: ''[[EP026|Pokémon Scent-sation!]]'' was the first time, in the [[original series]], ''[[AG042|Love at First Flight]]'' was the second, in the {{series|Advanced Generation}}, and ''[[DP062|Tanks for the Memories!]]'' was the third, in the {{series|Diamond &amp; Pearl}}. Each time Ash has crossdressed, he was never willing to do so and was coerced or forced into it in some fashion.<br /> **In addition to dressing as a girl, Ash has dressed up as fruit on at least two occasions. The first time, he dressed as an apple in ''[[EP107|Pokémon Food Fight!]]'' while the second he dressed as an eggplant in ''[[AG104|Claydol Big and Tall]]''. On both occasions he was used to lure a large Pokémon.<br /> **Ash has also had to dress up on numerous occasions as actual Pokémon to help out the [[characters of the day]]. He has so far been a Mr. Mime in ''[[EP064|It's Mr. Mime Time]]'', as an Octillery in ''[[EP215|Octillery the Outcast]]'' and as a Seviper in ''[[AG048|Zig Zag Zangoose!]]''.<br /> *Ash has owned four Pokémon that have also been owned by [[Gym Leaders]]. [[Falkner]] ({{AP|Pidgeot}}), [[Flannery]] ({{AP|Torkoal}}), [[Winona]] ({{AP|Swellow}}), and [[Gardenia]] ({{AP|Turtwig}}). Coincidently, all of them either have bird or turtle-like Pokémon. Other Gym Leaders have owned Pokémon that happened to be either the evolved form or pre-evolved form of one of Ash's Pokémon. [[Lt. Surge's Raichu]] ({{AP|Pikachu}}), [[Cissy]]'s {{p|Blastoise}} ({{AP|Squirtle}}), [[Falkner]]'s {{p|Hoothoot}} ({{AP|Noctowl}}), [[Bugsy]]'s {{p|Metapod}} ({{AP|Butterfree}}), and [[Crasher Wake]]'s {{p|Floatzel}} ({{AP|Buizel}}). <br /> ** A related coincidence is that three of the four female Gym Leaders listed above, own a turtle/tortoise-like Pokémon. <br /> *Ash last released a Pokémon during the original series. Since its end, he has been leaving his Pokémon at [[Professor Oak]]'s lab often, a [[EP061|habit]] he got from [[Misty]].<br /> *All of Ash's primate-based Pokémon have been owned by two Trainers - [[Paul]] previously owned {{AP|Chimchar}}, {{ka|Anthony}} currently owns {{AP|Primeape}}, and Dawn currently owns Aipom which later evolved into {{TP|Dawn|Ambipom}}.<br /> *All of Ash's Pokémon that have evolved twice ({{AP|Charizard}}, {{AP|Sceptile}} and {{AP|Butterfree}}) also have cross-generation counterparts on {{an|May}}'s team ({{TP|May|Blaziken}}, {{TP|May|Venusaur}}, and {{TP|May|Beautifly}}, respectively).<br /> *Ash has the most Pokémon that know moves that [[Anime move errors|they can't learn in the games]]: [[Ash's Butterfree|Caterpie]] with {{m|Counter}}, {{AP|Charizard}} with {{m|Tackle}}, {{AP|Bulbasaur}} with {{m|Tickle}} (debatable), {{m|Dig}}, and {{m|Whirlwind}}, {{AP|Raticate}} with {{m|Hi Jump Kick}}, {{AP|Staravia}} with {{m|Gust}}, and {{AP|Larvitar}} with {{m|Harden}}.<br /> *Although Ash is the main character of the Pokémon anime, he has never been featured on an English TCG card.<br /> *Ash has three turtle-like Pokémon: Squirtle, Torkoal and Grotle. Each corresponds to one of the three elemental types of the starter Pokémon, though Torkoal isn't a starter itself.<br /> *Despite having two [[Soothe Bell]]s, Ash has yet to capture any Pokémon that evolve through happiness, while both Brock and Dawn have Pokémon on their team that undergo happiness evolutions at some stage ({{TP|Dawn|Buneary}} and {{TP|Brock|Happiny}}). <br /> *Ash has owned at least one Pokémon of each type except {{t|Dark}}, {{t|Dragon}}, {{t|Steel}}, and {{t|Psychic}}.<br /> *Discounting [[Koga]], who was a [[Gym Leader]] at the time of Ash's battle against him, Ash has so far battled three [[Elite Four]] members, namely [[Lorelei|Prima]], {{EF|Drake}} and [[Agatha]], losing to all three. He has met all four of Generation I Kanto's Elite Four, two of Generation II's, one of Hoenn's, and one of Sinnoh's. He has also met all five in-game champions (or their anime counterparts, at least).<br /> *It is interesting to note that Ash's {{series|Diamond &amp; Pearl}} outfit looks much like {{ga|Lucas}}'s. The biggest difference between the two is the fact that Lucas wears a scarf, and that Ash retains the {{wp|baseball cap}} style for his hat, while Lucas's is a {{wp|flat cap}}.<br /> *Four of Ash's Pokémon have been introduced to moves by someone else: {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{m|Iron Tail}}, {{AP|Swellow}} and {{m|Aerial Ace}}, {{AP|Turtwig}} and {{m|Energy Ball}}, and {{AP|Staravia}} and {{m|Brave Bird}}. Of these, three are [[TM]] moves in the games.<br /> *Three of Ash's Pokémon were caught by him after first premiering in Pokémon movies: {{AP|Donphan}} (''[[Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''), {{AP|Aipom}} (''[[Spell of the Unown]]'') and {{AP|Buizel}} (''[[Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'').<br /> ** Strangely, both Donphan and Aipom are {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}} and were both used in battle against him by an opponent during the opening credits of the movies.<br /> *Altogether, if the movies are considered to be canon, Ash has seen at least twenty-seven different species of legendary Pokémon, and at least ten of them multiple times.<br /> *Seven of Ash's Pokémon decided to join him without battling him (Gligar, Chimchar, Lapras, Chikorita, Charmander, Squirtle, and Torkoal), while another five accepted a challenge against them and were subsequently captured (Turtwig, Treecko, Bulbasaur, Snorunt and Aipom). All of the others he naturally encountered and captured.<br /> <br /> ==Names==<br /> {| border=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;border: 1px solid #88a; border-collapse: collapse;&quot; cellspacing=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;2&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background: #ccf;&quot;<br /> !

His Japanese voice actress is 松本梨香 ''[[Rica Matsumoto]]'', his English voice actresses are [[Veronica Taylor]] ([[4Kids Entertainment]] dub) and [[Sarah Natochenny]] ([[Pokémon USA]] dub), his Brazilian voice actor is [[Fábio Lucindo]], his Italian voice actor is [[Davide Garbolino]], and his Spanish voice actors are [[Adolfo Moreno]] (Spain) and [[Gabriel Ramos]] (Latin America). In the first dub of [[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]] he was voiced by [[Kayzie Rogers|Jamie Peacock]]. <br /> <br /> Ash is apparently based on the main character of [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions]], {{ga|Red}}. He shares his name with the creator of the [[Pokémon]] franchise, [[Satoshi Tajiri]]. His Japanese name can be taken to mean &quot;wisdom&quot; or &quot;reason&quot; (智), and his English name has many meanings. His English last name is a pun on the original English Pokémon motto, &quot;[[Gotta Catch 'em All!]]&quot;. As for his first name, some note that &quot;Ash&quot; has the same letters found in ''S'''a'''to'''sh'''i''.<br /> <br /> {{spoilers}}<br /> <br /> ==In the anime==<br /> ===&lt;u&gt;Character&lt;/u&gt;===<br /> [[Image:Anime Ash.png|thumb|Ash Ketchum in the original series]]<br /> Ash's main goal in life, as described in the first episode, ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', is to be the world's greatest {{g|Master}}. Ash began his journey at the age of 10 as a warm-hearted and well-intentioned but stubborn and unskilled {{g|Trainer}}. He was forced to accept the irreverent {{AP|Pikachu}} from [[Professor Oak]] as his [[starter Pokémon]] because he carelessly broke his alarm clock and woke up late on the day he was set to get his first Pokémon. He was determined to achieve his goal, however, and when he showed his willingness to give up his own safety to keep Pikachu safe, he formed a strong bond of friendship with his Pokémon which would set his course for the future.<br /> <br /> However, from that point, Ash still had a lot to learn about becoming a Trainer. He [[captured Pokémon|caught]] his {{AP|Butterfree|first Pokémon}} by luck, knew nothing about {{g|battle|battling}}, and showed a reluctance to admit when he was wrong. Many of his first [[Gym]] [[badge]]s were given to him out of pity or gratitude for his assistance rather than claiming a victory in battle over the [[Gym Leader]]s. Every time he thought he was doing well, he would somehow cross paths with his childhood [[rival]], [[Gary Oak]], who always reminded Ash that he was always a step or seven behind.<br /> <br /> Ash's dedication to his goal paid off over time, and after earning his first eight badges, he competed in the [[Indigo League]], and advanced further in the rounds than Gary. After recovering from his defeat, he continued on to improve his skill, take on new challenges, and compete in more {{g|League}} competitions.<br /> <br /> Ash has changed a great deal over the course of the series, particularly in regards to his skill at {{g|training}}, but his earnestness and determination have remained. Never straying from his goal, he has remained loyal to his friends, his family, and his supporters, but most of all his Pokémon. Ash became a great Trainer by learning to find and use the inner strength of each of his Pokémon by bonding with them and learning where their hidden abilities lie, as well as resorting to unorthodox strategies when fighting particularly challenging opponents. For example, he uses his Pikachu's speed to outmaneuver larger foes and attack, and defeated [[Gary's Blastoise]] with his {{AP|Charizard}} by causing the field to overheat and have Charizard mount a close-range attack while Blastoise was blinded by the steam. He also prefers to train a Pokémon to be the best it can without making it evolve, and he is hesitant to let his Pokémon evolve to get stronger, as evidenced by his treatment of {{AP|Gligar}} in [[DP085]].<br /> <br /> [[Image:SatoshiAG.png|thumb|left|Ash in the Advanced Generation series]]<br /> Additionally, during the first season of the series, while Ash originally trained not to further himself but instead to catch more Pokémon than his rival, Gary. He later slowed his pace which allowed him to focus on the individual traits of each Pokémon. At the [[Johto]] League [[Silver Conference]], with great humility and maturity, Ash finally won a battle against his old rival, signifying a great milestone in his history. His maturity has also increased in his dealings with Pokémon, as when [[Ash's Primeape|a Mankey]] stole his {{AP|hat}} in ''[[EP025|Primeape Goes Bananas]]'', he screamed and yelled at it, even climbing trees just to get his hat back, but when [[Dawn's Ambipom|an Aipom]] did the same in ''[[AG179|Slaking Kong]]'', he stated merely that he would feel strange without a hat.<br /> <br /> In most episodes of the anime, especially those during the Johto League saga, Ash befriends someone who will influence him and cause him to strive to become a better Trainer. Although he is not a dependent individual, he is still young and has learned to make his way relying on his {{AP|friends}}, particularly the maternal skills of [[Brock]]. The honor of &quot;best friend&quot; is usually reserved for Pikachu but Ash has come to see his closest human friends in the same light over time; using the term for [[Misty]] and [[Brock]] in ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later]]'' as well as {{an|May}} and [[Max]] in ''[[AG178|Battling the Enemy Within]]''.<br /> <br /> He has traversed much of the {{g|world}} and has thus far participated in four [[Pokémon League#Championship competitions|Pokémon League regional competitions]], but he is still learning new things about Pokémon all the time.<br /> <br /> [[Image:AshAura.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Ash using Aura inside the [[Tree of Beginning]]]]<br /> Ash apparently has a close connection with [[Legendary Pokémon]], especially {{p|Ho-Oh}}, {{p|Lugia}}, and {{p|Shaymin}}. In the English dub of the [[The Power of One|second movie]], he was revealed to be &quot;The Chosen One&quot; - the one who would bring balance back to the world. Although viewed as a normal human, Ash does have some special abilities as he is said to have the same [[aura]] as [[Sir Aaron]], a legendary hero, and is theoretically able to manipulate it in much the same way. However, he has not received any training in this field, opting to continue his Pokémon journey instead. He has also been likened to an ancient [[aura]] guardian in ''[[DP056|The Keystone Pops!]]'', who also had a partner {{p|Pikachu}}. Later, in [[DP071]] and [[DP072]], Ash uses [[aura]] again to locate a lost {{p|Riolu}} and read Riolu's mind as well. However, these were one time deals, as Riolu had an unnaturally powerful aura.<br /> <br /> He has a [[Contest Pass]] for the [[Sinnoh]] region, though he has stated that the contest he got it for was the only one he intends on entering. He also has one for the Hoenn region as it was required to watch one of the contests held there. Ash also carries around a broken [[Poké Ball]], of which the other half belongs to Gary and is a symbol of their ongoing, but now friendly, rivalry, as well as [[Misty's special lure]], which she sent to him as a gift, and also half of a ribbon he received in a contest against May before she left the group to compete in Johto.<br /> &lt;br clear=&quot;left&quot;&gt;<br /> <br /> ===&lt;u&gt;Family&lt;/u&gt;===<br /> Ash lived with his mother, [[Delia Ketchum]], until he left for his Pokémon journey at the age of ten.<br /> <br /> His father is never introduced. The anime suggests that his father was once a Pokémon Trainer, but it is unclear whether he is still living. There has been much discussion in the fandom as to the identity of Ash's father, though the writers have chosen to not focus on this aspect of Ash's life. Common characters put forward by fans for the role are [[Giovanni]], [[Professor Oak]] and {{an|Silver}}. In {{g|Live!}}, Delia told Ash that Giovanni had once been her boyfriend, and that he was Ash's father. However, this has never been officially acknowledged.<br /> <br /> Ash is an only child, breaking from the tradition of several other main characters, with the exception of {{an|Dawn}} and possibly {{Tracey}}, whose siblings are often a foil or focal point in their lives.<br /> <br /> ===Pokémon===<br /> ====On hand====<br /> &lt;!--Don't touch the tables if you don't know what you're doing.

He's also prone to quickly falling in love like Brock, but to a much less extreme degree.<br /> ===Pokémon===<br /> [[Image:Satoshidengeki.PNG|thumb|right|Ash in [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]] manga.]]<br /> {|border=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;border: 1px solid #000; border-collapse: collapse;&quot; width=300px cellspacing=&quot;0&quot;<br /> |-<br /> | align=center | [[Image:025.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{AP|Pikachu}}<br /> | align=center | [[Image:022.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{AP|Fearow}}<br /> | align=center | [[Image:017.png]]&lt;br&gt;[[Ash's Pidgeot|Pidgeotto]]<br /> |-<br /> | align=center colspan=3 | [[Image:010.png]] &amp;rarr; [[Image:011.png]] &amp;rarr; [[Image:012.png]]&lt;br&gt;[[Ash's Butterfree|Caterpie &amp;rarr; Metapod &amp;rarr; Butterfree]]<br /> |-<br /> | align=center colspan=3 | [[Image:004.png]] &amp;rarr; [[Image:005.png]] &amp;rarr; [[Image:006.png]]&lt;br&gt;[[Ash's Charizard|Charmander &amp;rarr; Charmeleon &amp;rarr; Charizard]]<br /> |-<br /> | align=center | [[Image:001.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{AP|Bulbasaur}}<br /> | align=center | [[Image:007.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{AP|Squirtle}}<br /> | align=center | [[Image:043.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{p|Oddish}}<br /> |-<br /> | align=center | [[Image:015.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{p|Beedrill}}<br /> | align=center | [[Image:099.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{AP|Kingler}}<br /> | align=center | [[Image:089.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{AP|Muk}}<br /> |-<br /> | align=center | [[Image:128.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{AP|Tauros}}<br /> | align=center | [[Image:131.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{AP|Lapras}}<br /> | align=center | [[Image:143.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{AP|Snorlax}}<br /> |}<br /> <br /> ====Traded away====<br /> {|border=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;border: 1px solid #000; border-collapse: collapse;&quot; width=150px cellspacing=&quot;0&quot;<br /> |-<br /> | align=center | [[Image:056.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{p|Mankey}} (Given away for a map, which turns out to be fake)<br /> | align=center | [[Image:079.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{p|Slowpoke}} ([[Giant Pokémon|Giant]])&lt;br&gt;(Given away to [[Gary]] for [[May Oak]]'s photo)<br /> |}<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> ==In the TCG==<br /> This listing is of cards mentioning or featuring Ash or his Pokémon in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]].<br /> <br /> {| {{bluetable}} <br /> |- style=&quot;background: #DDDDFF;&quot;<br /> !Name<br /> !Type<br /> !Level<br /> !Rarity<br /> !Set<br /> !Set no.<br /> |-<br /> | {{TCG ID|7th Movie Half Deck|Ash's Torkoal|9}} || {{e|Fighting}} || - || - || {{TCG|7th Movie Half Deck}} (no English release) || 9/19<br /> |-<br /> | {{TCG ID|8th Movie Half Deck|Ash's Grovyle|1}} || {{e|Grass}} || - || - || {{TCG|8th Movie Half Deck}} (no English release) || 1/20<br /> |-<br /> | {{TCG ID|8th Movie Half Deck|Ash's Phanpy|4}} || {{e|Fighting}} || - || - || {{TCG|8th Movie Half Deck}} (no English release) || 4/20<br /> |-<br /> | {{TCG ID|8th Movie Half Deck|Ash's Swellow|7}} || {{e|Colorless}} || - || - || {{TCG|8th Movie Half Deck}} (no English release) || 7/20<br /> |-<br /> | {{TCG ID|9th Movie Half Deck|Ash's Aipom|10}} || {{e|Colorless}} || - || - || {{TCG|9th Movie Half Deck}} (no English release) || 10/19<br /> |-<br /> | {{TCG ID|&quot;ADV-P&quot; Promo|Ash's Treecko|36}} || {{e|Grass}} || - || - || {{TCG|&quot;ADV-P&quot; Promotional cards}} (no English release) || 36/&quot;ADV-P&quot;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> ==Trivia==<br /> <br /> *Hoenn and Sinnoh are the only regions wherein Ash did not catch all of the [[starter Pokémon]]. In Hoenn he has only caught Treecko, which evolved into a Grovyle and later on a Sceptile. As for Sinnoh he is only missing {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}.<br /> *In [[EP009|the ninth episode]] Ash mentioned that he had been a Pokémon trainer for 2 months. This time frame is further reinforced when Ash learns that the Pokémon League will begin in two months when he [[EP065|returns to Pallet Town]] after earning his eighth badge - he arrives at Indigo Stadium [[EP074|nine episodes later]]. If time continued at this rate, he would be at least 20 years old in the latest Japanese episode, something that's implied strongly by {{MTR}} in ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation!]]''. However, given that some episodes take place directly after each other, this time frame is clearly not consistent. <br /> * Ash has been mistaken to be the son of two women from [[Kanto]] and the [[Orange Islands]]. The first time was in ''[[EP027|Hypno's Naptime]]'' where he was mistaken for a boy named Arnold, while the second was in ''[[EP108|Pokémon Double Trouble]]'' when [[Luana]] mistook him for her son [[Travis]].<br /> *Ash has caught 49 &lt;!--Count good as of DP100: the evolution of Turtwig into Grotle--&gt;different kinds of Pokémon, including evolutions and counting Larvitar, Seaking, Beedrill, Haunter, and Raticate, even though Larvitar and Haunter were not officially his, Beedrill was given away nearly immediately, and Seaking was released as part of contest rules. The original tagline for the dub was &quot;[[Gotta Catch 'em All!]]&quot;, but Ash has only caught 9.74% of the current number of Pokémon. This line was eventually dropped in 2003, when he only had 8.03% of the then total of 386.<br /> *Ash has caught or received 64 different individual Pokémon, 30 of which are his Tauros.<br /> *Ash's first choice of a starter was Squirtle. Later, it is revealed that Gary was the one who, in fact, chose Squirtle. Ash's second choice was Bulbasaur, while his third was Charmander.<br /> *So far, every time Ash becomes the champion of something, he then battles and gets defeated by {{Gary}} a few episodes later, before heading off to a new region. This has happened after his championing of the [[Orange League]] and the Hoenn {{ho|Battle Frontier}}, which were both &quot;filler seasons&quot; before the start of even-numbered generations.<br /> *In ''[[EP241|Hocus Pokémon]]'', Ash was transformed into a {{p|Pikachu}}. This transformed state is sometimes referred to as [[Ashachu]].<br /> *Ash has captured each [[generation]]'s {{type2|Grass}} [[starter Pokémon]] (Bulbasaur, Chikorita, Treecko, Turtwig).<br /> *In both the [[Timeline of events in the anime#Kanto|Kanto]] and [[Timeline of events in the anime#Johto|Johto]] story arcs, Ash managed to capture all three of the starter Pokémon for both regions. This trend was broken in the [[Advanced Generation series]], where he only captured {{AP|Treecko}}, while the other two were {{OP|May|Torchic}} and {{OP|Brock|Mudkip}}. However, it is possible that the trend will be reestablished in the [[Diamond &amp; Pearl series]] story arc, as Ash has already managed to capture both a {{AP|Turtwig}} and {{AP|Chimchar}}, two of the Sinnoh region's starter Pokémon. This is unlikely, however, as {{an|Dawn}} already has the third, {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}.<br /> **However, he did command Piplup during ''[[DP046|A-Maze-ing Race!]]'', and Chimchar during its last few minutes on Paul's team.<br /> *Ash has captured one {{type2|Flying}} Pokémon from each series region that players can encounter early in different games: {{AP|Pidgeotto}}, {{AP|Noctowl}}, {{AP|Taillow}}, and {{AP|Starly}}.<br /> *In each region (except for the Orange Islands), Ash always loses against at least one of the [[Gym Leader]]s before challenging them to a rematch.<br /> *With the exception of Koga, Ash had to either do some sort of heroic deed or re-challenge all of the Kanto Gym Leaders to earn his badge. This, however, never applied to his Earth Badge, as he never battled against Giovanni himself, instead challenging the Team Rocket trio that had constantly followed him.<br /> *So far, Ash always befriends someone shortly before the regional tournament. That person will beat Ash later on in the semifinals.<br /> *Though not as touched on anymore, a running gag in the English version of the series involved [[Delia Ketchum|his mother]] making sure that Ash changed his underwear every single day.<br /> *Ash's room, seen at the start of [[EP001|the first episode]], contains a lot of merchandise based off various Pokémon, including a bedspread with a [[Poké Ball]] pattern, a trash can with a {{p|Staryu}} on it, a big {{p|Snorlax}} [[Pokémon doll|doll]], a {{p|Poliwag}} pencil sharpener, a {{p|Clefairy}} bank, a {{p|Zubat}} mobile, a poster with {{p|Squirtle}}, {{p|Bulbasaur}} and {{p|Charmander}}, and a {{p|Voltorb}} alarm clock with a {{p|Pidgey}} inside it which he breaks in his sleep. He also has many books, a globe, a boombox, a television and a [[Bug Catcher]]'s net. Based on the slanting of the ceiling of his room, it is probably in the attic of his house.<br /> *During his adventures in Kanto, Johto and the Orange Islands, Ash pinned his badges to the inside of his jacket. From Hoenn onwards, they have been kept in some form of case. It is unknown where the badges of Ash's previous journeys are, though it is assumed that they are kept somewhere in his house. Delia placed Ash's trophy from the Orange Islands on top of the television, though this was missing when Ash looked in his living room in ''[[AG192|Home is Where the Start Is]]''. Interestingly, the scene following it showed an identical trophy placed in Professor Oak's lab.<br /> *Each time Ash successfully wins his eighth badge, all eight are stolen, though soon after returned. It is unknown if this will happen again in the [[Diamond &amp; Pearl series]].<br /> *The most badges Ash has ever gotten in the first thirty-five episodes were six badges in Kanto, which makes sense considering that Kanto was significantly shorter than any other saga (aside from the Orange Island saga and the Battle Frontier saga). In every other region thus far, he has only won two badges in the first thirty-five episodes.<br /> *The only girl Ash has even shown a confirmed [[Shipping|interest]] is named [[Giselle]] whom appeared in ''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]''.<br /> *The only {{type2|Fire}} starter Ash has not owned is {{p|Torchic}}.<br /> *Ash is the only {{ashfr|main character}} that has caught a {{shiny2}} Pokémon, which is his {{AP|Noctowl}}.<br /> *Ash has two rivals that started off with turtle-like Pokémon. Gary started with [[Gary's Blastoise|Squirtle]] and Paul started off with [[Paul's Torterra|Turtwig]].<br /> *Ash also has two female friends that started off with bird-like Pokémon. May started off with {{TP|May|Torchic}} and Dawn started off with {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}.<br /> *The characters of the anime that share Ash's voice actress, both in English and in Japanese, are usually female or Pokémon.<br /> *In the case of Ash's Fire-type Pokémon, he always somehow saves them before capturing them, either from an abusive trainer or from other Pokémon.<br /> *Because Ash began wearing his AG clothes before leaving for Hoenn and did not change into his DP clothes until after he arrived in Sinnoh, Ash wore the AG clothes during episodes from all three series.<br /> [[Image:Ash maid.jpg|200px|thumb|Ash crossdressed for a third time.]]<br /> *Ash has crossdressed once in each anime series: ''[[EP026|Pokémon Scent-sation!]]'' was the first time, in the [[original series]], ''[[AG042|Love at First Flight]]'' was the second, in the {{series|Advanced Generation}}, and ''[[DP062|Tanks for the Memories!]]'' was the third, in the {{series|Diamond &amp; Pearl}}. Each time Ash has crossdressed, he was never willing to do so and was coerced or forced into it in some fashion.<br /> **In addition to dressing as a girl, Ash has dressed up as fruit on at least two occasions. The first time, he dressed as an apple in ''[[EP107|Pokémon Food Fight!]]'' while the second he dressed as an eggplant in ''[[AG104|Claydol Big and Tall]]''. On both occasions he was used to lure a large Pokémon.<br /> **Ash has also had to dress up on numerous occasions as actual Pokémon to help out the [[characters of the day]]. He has so far been a Mr. Mime in ''[[EP064|It's Mr. Mime Time]]'', as an Octillery in ''[[EP215|Octillery the Outcast]]'' and as a Seviper in ''[[AG048|Zig Zag Zangoose!]]''.<br /> *Ash has owned four Pokémon that have also been owned by [[Gym Leaders]]. [[Falkner]] ({{AP|Pidgeot}}), [[Flannery]] ({{AP|Torkoal}}), [[Winona]] ({{AP|Swellow}}), and [[Gardenia]] ({{AP|Turtwig}}). Coincidently, all of them either have bird or turtle-like Pokémon. Other Gym Leaders have owned Pokémon that happened to be either the evolved form or pre-evolved form of one of Ash's Pokémon. [[Lt. Surge's Raichu]] ({{AP|Pikachu}}), [[Cissy]]'s {{p|Blastoise}} ({{AP|Squirtle}}), [[Falkner]]'s {{p|Hoothoot}} ({{AP|Noctowl}}), [[Bugsy]]'s {{p|Metapod}} ({{AP|Butterfree}}), and [[Crasher Wake]]'s {{p|Floatzel}} ({{AP|Buizel}}). <br /> ** A related coincidence is that three of the four female Gym Leaders listed above, own a turtle/tortoise-like Pokémon. <br /> *Ash last released a Pokémon during the original series. Since its end, he has been leaving his Pokémon at [[Professor Oak]]'s lab often, a [[EP061|habit]] he got from [[Misty]].<br /> *All of Ash's primate-based Pokémon have been owned by two Trainers - [[Paul]] previously owned {{AP|Chimchar}}, {{ka|Anthony}} currently owns {{AP|Primeape}}, and Dawn currently owns Aipom which later evolved into {{TP|Dawn|Ambipom}}.<br /> *All of Ash's Pokémon that have evolved twice ({{AP|Charizard}}, {{AP|Sceptile}} and {{AP|Butterfree}}) also have cross-generation counterparts on {{an|May}}'s team ({{TP|May|Blaziken}}, {{TP|May|Venusaur}}, and {{TP|May|Beautifly}}, respectively).<br /> *Ash has the most Pokémon that know moves that [[Anime move errors|they can't learn in the games]]: [[Ash's Butterfree|Caterpie]] with {{m|Counter}}, {{AP|Charizard}} with {{m|Tackle}}, {{AP|Bulbasaur}} with {{m|Tickle}} (debatable), {{m|Dig}}, and {{m|Whirlwind}}, {{AP|Raticate}} with {{m|Hi Jump Kick}}, {{AP|Staravia}} with {{m|Gust}}, and {{AP|Larvitar}} with {{m|Harden}}.<br /> *Although Ash is the main character of the Pokémon anime, he has never been featured on an English TCG card.<br /> *Ash has three turtle-like Pokémon: Squirtle, Torkoal and Grotle. Each corresponds to one of the three elemental types of the starter Pokémon, though Torkoal isn't a starter itself.<br /> *Despite having two [[Soothe Bell]]s, Ash has yet to capture any Pokémon that evolve through happiness, while both Brock and Dawn have Pokémon on their team that undergo happiness evolutions at some stage ({{TP|Dawn|Buneary}} and {{TP|Brock|Happiny}}). <br /> *Ash has owned at least one Pokémon of each type except {{t|Dark}}, {{t|Dragon}}, {{t|Steel}}, and {{t|Psychic}}.<br /> *Discounting [[Koga]], who was a [[Gym Leader]] at the time of Ash's battle against him, Ash has so far battled three [[Elite Four]] members, namely [[Lorelei|Prima]], {{EF|Drake}} and [[Agatha]], losing to all three. He has met all four of Generation I Kanto's Elite Four, two of Generation II's, one of Hoenn's, and one of Sinnoh's. He has also met all five in-game champions (or their anime counterparts, at least).<br /> *It is interesting to note that Ash's {{series|Diamond &amp; Pearl}} outfit looks much like {{ga|Lucas}}'s. The biggest difference between the two is the fact that Lucas wears a scarf, and that Ash retains the {{wp|baseball cap}} style for his hat, while Lucas's is a {{wp|flat cap}}.<br /> *Four of Ash's Pokémon have been introduced to moves by someone else: {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{m|Iron Tail}}, {{AP|Swellow}} and {{m|Aerial Ace}}, {{AP|Turtwig}} and {{m|Energy Ball}}, and {{AP|Staravia}} and {{m|Brave Bird}}. Of these, three are [[TM]] moves in the games.<br /> *Three of Ash's Pokémon were caught by him after first premiering in Pokémon movies: {{AP|Donphan}} (''[[Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''), {{AP|Aipom}} (''[[Spell of the Unown]]'') and {{AP|Buizel}} (''[[Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'').<br /> ** Strangely, both Donphan and Aipom are {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}} and were both used in battle against him by an opponent during the opening credits of the movies.<br /> *Altogether, if the movies are considered to be canon, Ash has seen at least twenty-seven different species of legendary Pokémon, and at least ten of them multiple times.<br /> *Seven of Ash's Pokémon decided to join him without battling him (Gligar, Chimchar, Lapras, Chikorita, Charmander, Squirtle, and Torkoal), while another five accepted a challenge against them and were subsequently captured (Turtwig, Treecko, Bulbasaur, Snorunt and Aipom). All of the others he naturally encountered and captured.<br /> <br /> ==Names==<br /> {| border=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;border: 1px solid #88a; border-collapse: collapse;&quot; cellspacing=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;2&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background: #ccf;&quot;<br /> !

His Japanese voice actress is 松本梨香 ''[[Rica Matsumoto]]'', his English voice actresses are [[Veronica Taylor]] ([[4Kids Entertainment]] dub) and [[Sarah Natochenny]] ([[Pokémon USA]] dub), his Brazilian voice actor is [[Fábio Lucindo]], his Italian voice actor is [[Davide Garbolino]], and his Spanish voice actors are [[Adolfo Moreno]] (Spain) and [[Gabriel Ramos]] (Latin America). In the first dub of [[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]] he was voiced by [[Kayzie Rogers|Jamie Peacock]]. <br /> <br /> Ash is apparently based on the main character of [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions]], {{ga|Red}}. He shares his name with the creator of the [[Pokémon]] franchise, [[Satoshi Tajiri]]. His Japanese name can be taken to mean &quot;wisdom&quot; or &quot;reason&quot; (智), and his English name has many meanings. His English last name is a pun on the original English Pokémon motto, &quot;[[Gotta Catch 'em All!]]&quot;. As for his first name, some note that &quot;Ash&quot; has the same letters found in ''S'''a'''to'''sh'''i''.<br /> <br /> {{spoilers}}<br /> <br /> ==In the anime==<br /> ===&lt;u&gt;Character&lt;/u&gt;===<br /> [[Image:Anime Ash.png|thumb|Ash Ketchum in the original series]]<br /> Ash's main goal in life, as described in the first episode, ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', is to be the world's greatest {{g|Master}}. Ash began his journey at the age of 10 as a warm-hearted and well-intentioned but stubborn and unskilled {{g|Trainer}}. He was forced to accept the irreverent {{AP|Pikachu}} from [[Professor Oak]] as his [[starter Pokémon]] because he carelessly broke his alarm clock and woke up late on the day he was set to get his first Pokémon. He was determined to achieve his goal, however, and when he showed his willingness to give up his own safety to keep Pikachu safe, he formed a strong bond of friendship with his Pokémon which would set his course for the future.<br /> <br /> However, from that point, Ash still had a lot to learn about becoming a Trainer. He [[captured Pokémon|caught]] his {{AP|Butterfree|first Pokémon}} by luck, knew nothing about {{g|battle|battling}}, and showed a reluctance to admit when he was wrong. Many of his first [[Gym]] [[badge]]s were given to him out of pity or gratitude for his assistance rather than claiming a victory in battle over the [[Gym Leader]]s. Every time he thought he was doing well, he would somehow cross paths with his childhood [[rival]], [[Gary Oak]], who always reminded Ash that he was always a step or seven behind.<br /> <br /> Ash's dedication to his goal paid off over time, and after earning his first eight badges, he competed in the [[Indigo League]], and advanced further in the rounds than Gary. After recovering from his defeat, he continued on to improve his skill, take on new challenges, and compete in more {{g|League}} competitions.<br /> <br /> Ash has changed a great deal over the course of the series, particularly in regards to his skill at {{g|training}}, but his earnestness and determination have remained. Never straying from his goal, he has remained loyal to his friends, his family, and his supporters, but most of all his Pokémon. Ash became a great Trainer by learning to find and use the inner strength of each of his Pokémon by bonding with them and learning where their hidden abilities lie, as well as resorting to unorthodox strategies when fighting particularly challenging opponents. For example, he uses his Pikachu's speed to outmaneuver larger foes and attack, and defeated [[Gary's Blastoise]] with his {{AP|Charizard}} by causing the field to overheat and have Charizard mount a close-range attack while Blastoise was blinded by the steam. He also prefers to train a Pokémon to be the best it can without making it evolve, and he is hesitant to let his Pokémon evolve to get stronger, as evidenced by his treatment of {{AP|Gligar}} in [[DP085]].<br /> <br /> [[Image:SatoshiAG.png|thumb|left|Ash in the Advanced Generation series]]<br /> Additionally, during the first season of the series, while Ash originally trained not to further himself but instead to catch more Pokémon than his rival, Gary. He later slowed his pace which allowed him to focus on the individual traits of each Pokémon. At the [[Johto]] League [[Silver Conference]], with great humility and maturity, Ash finally won a battle against his old rival, signifying a great milestone in his history. His maturity has also increased in his dealings with Pokémon, as when [[Ash's Primeape|a Mankey]] stole his {{AP|hat}} in ''[[EP025|Primeape Goes Bananas]]'', he screamed and yelled at it, even climbing trees just to get his hat back, but when [[Dawn's Ambipom|an Aipom]] did the same in ''[[AG179|Slaking Kong]]'', he stated merely that he would feel strange without a hat.<br /> <br /> In most episodes of the anime, especially those during the Johto League saga, Ash befriends someone who will influence him and cause him to strive to become a better Trainer. Although he is not a dependent individual, he is still young and has learned to make his way relying on his {{AP|friends}}, particularly the maternal skills of [[Brock]]. The honor of &quot;best friend&quot; is usually reserved for Pikachu but Ash has come to see his closest human friends in the same light over time; using the term for [[Misty]] and [[Brock]] in ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later]]'' as well as {{an|May}} and [[Max]] in ''[[AG178|Battling the Enemy Within]]''.<br /> <br /> He has traversed much of the {{g|world}} and has thus far participated in four [[Pokémon League#Championship competitions|Pokémon League regional competitions]], but he is still learning new things about Pokémon all the time.<br /> <br /> [[Image:AshAura.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Ash using Aura inside the [[Tree of Beginning]]]]<br /> Ash apparently has a close connection with [[Legendary Pokémon]], especially {{p|Ho-Oh}}, {{p|Lugia}}, and {{p|Shaymin}}. In the English dub of the [[The Power of One|second movie]], he was revealed to be &quot;The Chosen One&quot; - the one who would bring balance back to the world. Although viewed as a normal human, Ash does have some special abilities as he is said to have the same [[aura]] as [[Sir Aaron]], a legendary hero, and is theoretically able to manipulate it in much the same way. However, he has not received any training in this field, opting to continue his Pokémon journey instead. He has also been likened to an ancient [[aura]] guardian in ''[[DP056|The Keystone Pops!]]'', who also had a partner {{p|Pikachu}}. Later, in [[DP071]] and [[DP072]], Ash uses [[aura]] again to locate a lost {{p|Riolu}} and read Riolu's mind as well. However, these were one time deals, as Riolu had an unnaturally powerful aura.<br /> <br /> He has a [[Contest Pass]] for the [[Sinnoh]] region, though he has stated that the contest he got it for was the only one he intends on entering. He also has one for the Hoenn region as it was required to watch one of the contests held there. Ash also carries around a broken [[Poké Ball]], of which the other half belongs to Gary and is a symbol of their ongoing, but now friendly, rivalry, as well as [[Misty's special lure]], which she sent to him as a gift, and also half of a ribbon he received in a contest against May before she left the group to compete in Johto.<br /> &lt;br clear=&quot;left&quot;&gt;<br /> <br /> ===&lt;u&gt;Family&lt;/u&gt;===<br /> Ash lived with his mother, [[Delia Ketchum]], until he left for his Pokémon journey at the age of ten.<br /> <br /> His father is never introduced. The anime suggests that his father was once a Pokémon Trainer, but it is unclear whether he is still living. There has been much discussion in the fandom as to the identity of Ash's father, though the writers have chosen to not focus on this aspect of Ash's life. Common characters put forward by fans for the role are [[Giovanni]], [[Professor Oak]] and {{an|Silver}}. In {{g|Live!}}, Delia told Ash that Giovanni had once been her boyfriend, and that he was Ash's father. However, this has never been officially acknowledged.<br /> <br /> Ash is an only child, breaking from the tradition of several other main characters, with the exception of {{an|Dawn}} and possibly {{Tracey}}, whose siblings are often a foil or focal point in their lives.<br /> <br /> ===Pokémon===<br /> ====On hand====<br /> &lt;!--Don't touch the tables if you don't know what you're doing.

For example, while anime Ash is indifferent to romance or members of the opposite gender (or same gender, some may argue), manga Ash has a big crush on Gary's sister, [[May Oak]]. He's also prone to quickly falling in love like Brock, but to a much less extreme degree.<br /> ===Pokémon===<br /> [[Image:Satoshidengeki.PNG|thumb|right|Ash in [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]] manga.]]<br /> {|border=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;border: 1px solid #000; border-collapse: collapse;&quot; width=300px cellspacing=&quot;0&quot;<br /> |-<br /> | align=center | [[Image:025.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{AP|Pikachu}}<br /> | align=center | [[Image:022.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{AP|Fearow}}<br /> | align=center | [[Image:017.png]]&lt;br&gt;[[Ash's Pidgeot|Pidgeotto]]<br /> |-<br /> | align=center colspan=3 | [[Image:010.png]] &amp;rarr; [[Image:011.png]] &amp;rarr; [[Image:012.png]]&lt;br&gt;[[Ash's Butterfree|Caterpie &amp;rarr; Metapod &amp;rarr; Butterfree]]<br /> |-<br /> | align=center colspan=3 | [[Image:004.png]] &amp;rarr; [[Image:005.png]] &amp;rarr; [[Image:006.png]]&lt;br&gt;[[Ash's Charizard|Charmander &amp;rarr; Charmeleon &amp;rarr; Charizard]]<br /> |-<br /> | align=center | [[Image:001.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{AP|Bulbasaur}}<br /> | align=center | [[Image:007.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{AP|Squirtle}}<br /> | align=center | [[Image:043.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{p|Oddish}}<br /> |-<br /> | align=center | [[Image:015.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{p|Beedrill}}<br /> | align=center | [[Image:099.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{AP|Kingler}}<br /> | align=center | [[Image:089.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{AP|Muk}}<br /> |-<br /> | align=center | [[Image:128.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{AP|Tauros}}<br /> | align=center | [[Image:131.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{AP|Lapras}}<br /> | align=center | [[Image:143.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{AP|Snorlax}}<br /> |}<br /> <br /> ====Traded away====<br /> {|border=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;border: 1px solid #000; border-collapse: collapse;&quot; width=150px cellspacing=&quot;0&quot;<br /> |-<br /> | align=center | [[Image:056.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{p|Mankey}} (Given away for a map, which turns out to be fake)<br /> | align=center | [[Image:079.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{p|Slowpoke}} ([[Giant Pokémon|Giant]])&lt;br&gt;(Given away to [[Gary]] for [[May Oak]]'s photo)<br /> |}<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> ==In the TCG==<br /> This listing is of cards mentioning or featuring Ash or his Pokémon in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]].<br /> <br /> {| {{bluetable}} <br /> |- style=&quot;background: #DDDDFF;&quot;<br /> !Name<br /> !Type<br /> !Level<br /> !Rarity<br /> !Set<br /> !Set no.<br /> |-<br /> | {{TCG ID|7th Movie Half Deck|Ash's Torkoal|9}} || {{e|Fighting}} || - || - || {{TCG|7th Movie Half Deck}} (no English release) || 9/19<br /> |-<br /> | {{TCG ID|8th Movie Half Deck|Ash's Grovyle|1}} || {{e|Grass}} || - || - || {{TCG|8th Movie Half Deck}} (no English release) || 1/20<br /> |-<br /> | {{TCG ID|8th Movie Half Deck|Ash's Phanpy|4}} || {{e|Fighting}} || - || - || {{TCG|8th Movie Half Deck}} (no English release) || 4/20<br /> |-<br /> | {{TCG ID|8th Movie Half Deck|Ash's Swellow|7}} || {{e|Colorless}} || - || - || {{TCG|8th Movie Half Deck}} (no English release) || 7/20<br /> |-<br /> | {{TCG ID|9th Movie Half Deck|Ash's Aipom|10}} || {{e|Colorless}} || - || - || {{TCG|9th Movie Half Deck}} (no English release) || 10/19<br /> |-<br /> | {{TCG ID|&quot;ADV-P&quot; Promo|Ash's Treecko|36}} || {{e|Grass}} || - || - || {{TCG|&quot;ADV-P&quot; Promotional cards}} (no English release) || 36/&quot;ADV-P&quot;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> ==Trivia==<br /> <br /> *Hoenn and Sinnoh are the only regions wherein Ash did not catch all of the [[starter Pokémon]]. In Hoenn he has only caught Treecko, which evolved into a Grovyle and later on a Sceptile. As for Sinnoh he is only missing {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}.<br /> *In [[EP009|the ninth episode]] Ash mentioned that he had been a Pokémon trainer for 2 months. This time frame is further reinforced when Ash learns that the Pokémon League will begin in two months when he [[EP065|returns to Pallet Town]] after earning his eighth badge - he arrives at Indigo Stadium [[EP074|nine episodes later]]. If time continued at this rate, he would be at least 20 years old in the latest Japanese episode, something that's implied strongly by {{MTR}} in ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation!]]''. However, given that some episodes take place directly after each other, this time frame is clearly not consistent. <br /> * Ash has been mistaken to be the son of two women from [[Kanto]] and the [[Orange Islands]]. The first time was in ''[[EP027|Hypno's Naptime]]'' where he was mistaken for a boy named Arnold, while the second was in ''[[EP108|Pokémon Double Trouble]]'' when [[Luana]] mistook him for her son [[Travis]].<br /> *Ash has caught 49 &lt;!--Count good as of DP100: the evolution of Turtwig into Grotle--&gt;different kinds of Pokémon, including evolutions and counting Larvitar, Seaking, Beedrill, Haunter, and Raticate, even though Larvitar and Haunter were not officially his, Beedrill was given away nearly immediately, and Seaking was released as part of contest rules. The original tagline for the dub was &quot;[[Gotta Catch 'em All!]]&quot;, but Ash has only caught 9.74% of the current number of Pokémon. This line was eventually dropped in 2003, when he only had 8.03% of the then total of 386.<br /> *Ash has caught or received 64 different individual Pokémon, 30 of which are his Tauros.<br /> *Ash's first choice of a starter was Squirtle. Later, it is revealed that Gary was the one who, in fact, chose Squirtle. Ash's second choice was Bulbasaur, while his third was Charmander.<br /> *So far, every time Ash becomes the champion of something, he then battles and gets defeated by {{Gary}} a few episodes later, before heading off to a new region. This has happened after his championing of the [[Orange League]] and the Hoenn {{ho|Battle Frontier}}, which were both &quot;filler seasons&quot; before the start of even-numbered generations.<br /> *In ''[[EP241|Hocus Pokémon]]'', Ash was transformed into a {{p|Pikachu}}. This transformed state is sometimes referred to as [[Ashachu]].<br /> *Ash has captured each [[generation]]'s {{type2|Grass}} [[starter Pokémon]] (Bulbasaur, Chikorita, Treecko, Turtwig).<br /> *In both the [[Timeline of events in the anime#Kanto|Kanto]] and [[Timeline of events in the anime#Johto|Johto]] story arcs, Ash managed to capture all three of the starter Pokémon for both regions. This trend was broken in the [[Advanced Generation series]], where he only captured {{AP|Treecko}}, while the other two were {{OP|May|Torchic}} and {{OP|Brock|Mudkip}}. However, it is possible that the trend will be reestablished in the [[Diamond &amp; Pearl series]] story arc, as Ash has already managed to capture both a {{AP|Turtwig}} and {{AP|Chimchar}}, two of the Sinnoh region's starter Pokémon. This is unlikely, however, as {{an|Dawn}} already has the third, {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}.<br /> **However, he did command Piplup during ''[[DP046|A-Maze-ing Race!]]'', and Chimchar during its last few minutes on Paul's team.<br /> *Ash has captured one {{type2|Flying}} Pokémon from each series region that players can encounter early in different games: {{AP|Pidgeotto}}, {{AP|Noctowl}}, {{AP|Taillow}}, and {{AP|Starly}}.<br /> *In each region (except for the Orange Islands), Ash always loses against at least one of the [[Gym Leader]]s before challenging them to a rematch.<br /> *With the exception of Koga, Ash had to either do some sort of heroic deed or re-challenge all of the Kanto Gym Leaders to earn his badge. This, however, never applied to his Earth Badge, as he never battled against Giovanni himself, instead challenging the Team Rocket trio that had constantly followed him.<br /> *So far, Ash always befriends someone shortly before the regional tournament. That person will beat Ash later on in the semifinals.<br /> *Though not as touched on anymore, a running gag in the English version of the series involved [[Delia Ketchum|his mother]] making sure that Ash changed his underwear every single day.<br /> *Ash's room, seen at the start of [[EP001|the first episode]], contains a lot of merchandise based off various Pokémon, including a bedspread with a [[Poké Ball]] pattern, a trash can with a {{p|Staryu}} on it, a big {{p|Snorlax}} [[Pokémon doll|doll]], a {{p|Poliwag}} pencil sharpener, a {{p|Clefairy}} bank, a {{p|Zubat}} mobile, a poster with {{p|Squirtle}}, {{p|Bulbasaur}} and {{p|Charmander}}, and a {{p|Voltorb}} alarm clock with a {{p|Pidgey}} inside it which he breaks in his sleep. He also has many books, a globe, a boombox, a television and a [[Bug Catcher]]'s net. Based on the slanting of the ceiling of his room, it is probably in the attic of his house.<br /> *During his adventures in Kanto, Johto and the Orange Islands, Ash pinned his badges to the inside of his jacket. From Hoenn onwards, they have been kept in some form of case. It is unknown where the badges of Ash's previous journeys are, though it is assumed that they are kept somewhere in his house. Delia placed Ash's trophy from the Orange Islands on top of the television, though this was missing when Ash looked in his living room in ''[[AG192|Home is Where the Start Is]]''. Interestingly, the scene following it showed an identical trophy placed in Professor Oak's lab.<br /> *Each time Ash successfully wins his eighth badge, all eight are stolen, though soon after returned. It is unknown if this will happen again in the [[Diamond &amp; Pearl series]].<br /> *The most badges Ash has ever gotten in the first thirty-five episodes were six badges in Kanto, which makes sense considering that Kanto was significantly shorter than any other saga (aside from the Orange Island saga and the Battle Frontier saga). In every other region thus far, he has only won two badges in the first thirty-five episodes.<br /> *The only girl Ash has even shown a confirmed [[Shipping|interest]] is named [[Giselle]] whom appeared in ''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]''.<br /> *The only {{type2|Fire}} starter Ash has not owned is {{p|Torchic}}.<br /> *Ash is the only {{ashfr|main character}} that has caught a {{shiny2}} Pokémon, which is his {{AP|Noctowl}}.<br /> *Ash has two rivals that started off with turtle-like Pokémon. Gary started with [[Gary's Blastoise|Squirtle]] and Paul started off with [[Paul's Torterra|Turtwig]].<br /> *Ash also has two female friends that started off with bird-like Pokémon. May started off with {{TP|May|Torchic}} and Dawn started off with {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}.<br /> *The characters of the anime that share Ash's voice actress, both in English and in Japanese, are usually female or Pokémon.<br /> *In the case of Ash's Fire-type Pokémon, he always somehow saves them before capturing them, either from an abusive trainer or from other Pokémon.<br /> *Because Ash began wearing his AG clothes before leaving for Hoenn and did not change into his DP clothes until after he arrived in Sinnoh, Ash wore the AG clothes during episodes from all three series.<br /> [[Image:Ash maid.jpg|200px|thumb|Ash crossdressed for a third time.]]<br /> *Ash has crossdressed once in each anime series: ''[[EP026|Pokémon Scent-sation!]]'' was the first time, in the [[original series]], ''[[AG042|Love at First Flight]]'' was the second, in the {{series|Advanced Generation}}, and ''[[DP062|Tanks for the Memories!]]'' was the third, in the {{series|Diamond &amp; Pearl}}. Each time Ash has crossdressed, he was never willing to do so and was coerced or forced into it in some fashion.<br /> **In addition to dressing as a girl, Ash has dressed up as fruit on at least two occasions. The first time, he dressed as an apple in ''[[EP107|Pokémon Food Fight!]]'' while the second he dressed as an eggplant in ''[[AG104|Claydol Big and Tall]]''. On both occasions he was used to lure a large Pokémon.<br /> **Ash has also had to dress up on numerous occasions as actual Pokémon to help out the [[characters of the day]]. He has so far been a Mr. Mime in ''[[EP064|It's Mr. Mime Time]]'', as an Octillery in ''[[EP215|Octillery the Outcast]]'' and as a Seviper in ''[[AG048|Zig Zag Zangoose!]]''.<br /> *Ash has owned four Pokémon that have also been owned by [[Gym Leaders]]. [[Falkner]] ({{AP|Pidgeot}}), [[Flannery]] ({{AP|Torkoal}}), [[Winona]] ({{AP|Swellow}}), and [[Gardenia]] ({{AP|Turtwig}}). Coincidently, all of them either have bird or turtle-like Pokémon. Other Gym Leaders have owned Pokémon that happened to be either the evolved form or pre-evolved form of one of Ash's Pokémon. [[Lt. Surge's Raichu]] ({{AP|Pikachu}}), [[Cissy]]'s {{p|Blastoise}} ({{AP|Squirtle}}), [[Falkner]]'s {{p|Hoothoot}} ({{AP|Noctowl}}), [[Bugsy]]'s {{p|Metapod}} ({{AP|Butterfree}}), and [[Crasher Wake]]'s {{p|Floatzel}} ({{AP|Buizel}}). <br /> ** A related coincidence is that three of the four female Gym Leaders listed above, own a turtle/tortoise-like Pokémon. <br /> *Ash last released a Pokémon during the original series. Since its end, he has been leaving his Pokémon at [[Professor Oak]]'s lab often, a [[EP061|habit]] he got from [[Misty]].<br /> *All of Ash's primate-based Pokémon have been owned by two Trainers - [[Paul]] previously owned {{AP|Chimchar}}, {{ka|Anthony}} currently owns {{AP|Primeape}}, and Dawn currently owns Aipom which later evolved into {{TP|Dawn|Ambipom}}.<br /> *All of Ash's Pokémon that have evolved twice ({{AP|Charizard}}, {{AP|Sceptile}} and {{AP|Butterfree}}) also have cross-generation counterparts on {{an|May}}'s team ({{TP|May|Blaziken}}, {{TP|May|Venusaur}}, and {{TP|May|Beautifly}}, respectively).<br /> *Ash has the most Pokémon that know moves that [[Anime move errors|they can't learn in the games]]: [[Ash's Butterfree|Caterpie]] with {{m|Counter}}, {{AP|Charizard}} with {{m|Tackle}}, {{AP|Bulbasaur}} with {{m|Tickle}} (debatable), {{m|Dig}}, and {{m|Whirlwind}}, {{AP|Raticate}} with {{m|Hi Jump Kick}}, {{AP|Staravia}} with {{m|Gust}}, and {{AP|Larvitar}} with {{m|Harden}}.<br /> *Although Ash is the main character of the Pokémon anime, he has never been featured on an English TCG card.<br /> *Ash has three turtle-like Pokémon: Squirtle, Torkoal and Grotle. Each corresponds to one of the three elemental types of the starter Pokémon, though Torkoal isn't a starter itself.<br /> *Despite having two [[Soothe Bell]]s, Ash has yet to capture any Pokémon that evolve through happiness, while both Brock and Dawn have Pokémon on their team that undergo happiness evolutions at some stage ({{TP|Dawn|Buneary}} and {{TP|Brock|Happiny}}). <br /> *Ash has owned at least one Pokémon of each type except {{t|Dark}}, {{t|Dragon}}, {{t|Steel}}, and {{t|Psychic}}.<br /> *Discounting [[Koga]], who was a [[Gym Leader]] at the time of Ash's battle against him, Ash has so far battled three [[Elite Four]] members, namely [[Lorelei|Prima]], {{EF|Drake}} and [[Agatha]], losing to all three. He has met all four of Generation I Kanto's Elite Four, two of Generation II's, one of Hoenn's, and one of Sinnoh's. He has also met all five in-game champions (or their anime counterparts, at least).<br /> *It is interesting to note that Ash's {{series|Diamond &amp; Pearl}} outfit looks much like {{ga|Lucas}}'s. The biggest difference between the two is the fact that Lucas wears a scarf, and that Ash retains the {{wp|baseball cap}} style for his hat, while Lucas's is a {{wp|flat cap}}.<br /> *Four of Ash's Pokémon have been introduced to moves by someone else: {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{m|Iron Tail}}, {{AP|Swellow}} and {{m|Aerial Ace}}, {{AP|Turtwig}} and {{m|Energy Ball}}, and {{AP|Staravia}} and {{m|Brave Bird}}. Of these, three are [[TM]] moves in the games.<br /> *Three of Ash's Pokémon were caught by him after first premiering in Pokémon movies: {{AP|Donphan}} (''[[Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''), {{AP|Aipom}} (''[[Spell of the Unown]]'') and {{AP|Buizel}} (''[[Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'').<br /> ** Strangely, both Donphan and Aipom are {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}} and were both used in battle against him by an opponent during the opening credits of the movies.<br /> *Altogether, if the movies are considered to be canon, Ash has seen at least twenty-seven different species of legendary Pokémon, and at least ten of them multiple times.<br /> *Seven of Ash's Pokémon decided to join him without battling him (Gligar, Chimchar, Lapras, Chikorita, Charmander, Squirtle, and Torkoal), while another five accepted a challenge against them and were subsequently captured (Turtwig, Treecko, Bulbasaur, Snorunt and Aipom). All of the others he naturally encountered and captured.<br /> <br /> ==Names==<br /> {| border=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;border: 1px solid #88a; border-collapse: collapse;&quot; cellspacing=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;2&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background: #ccf;&quot;<br /> !

His Japanese voice actress is 松本梨香 ''[[Rica Matsumoto]]'', his English voice actresses are [[Veronica Taylor]] ([[4Kids Entertainment]] dub) and [[Sarah Natochenny]] ([[Pokémon USA]] dub), his Brazilian voice actor is [[Fábio Lucindo]], his Italian voice actor is [[Davide Garbolino]], and his Spanish voice actors are [[Adolfo Moreno]] (Spain) and [[Gabriel Ramos]] (Latin America). In the first dub of [[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]] he was voiced by [[Kayzie Rogers|Jamie Peacock]]. <br /> <br /> Ash is apparently based on the main character of [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions]], {{ga|Red}}. He shares his name with the creator of the [[Pokémon]] franchise, [[Satoshi Tajiri]]. His Japanese name can be taken to mean &quot;wisdom&quot; or &quot;reason&quot; (智), and his English name has many meanings. His English last name is a pun on the original English Pokémon motto, &quot;[[Gotta Catch 'em All!]]&quot;. As for his first name, some note that &quot;Ash&quot; has the same letters found in ''S'''a'''to'''sh'''i''.<br /> <br /> {{spoilers}}<br /> <br /> ==In the anime==<br /> ===&lt;u&gt;Character&lt;/u&gt;===<br /> [[Image:Anime Ash.png|thumb|Ash Ketchum in the original series]]<br /> Ash's main goal in life, as described in the first episode, ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', is to be the world's greatest {{g|Master}}. Ash began his journey at the age of 10 as a warm-hearted and well-intentioned but stubborn and unskilled {{g|Trainer}}. He was forced to accept the irreverent {{AP|Pikachu}} from [[Professor Oak]] as his [[starter Pokémon]] because he carelessly broke his alarm clock and woke up late on the day he was set to get his first Pokémon. He was determined to achieve his goal, however, and when he showed his willingness to give up his own safety to keep Pikachu safe, he formed a strong bond of friendship with his Pokémon which would set his course for the future.<br /> <br /> However, from that point, Ash still had a lot to learn about becoming a Trainer. He [[captured Pokémon|caught]] his {{AP|Butterfree|first Pokémon}} by luck, knew nothing about {{g|battle|battling}}, and showed a reluctance to admit when he was wrong. Many of his first [[Gym]] [[badge]]s were given to him out of pity or gratitude for his assistance rather than claiming a victory in battle over the [[Gym Leader]]s. Every time he thought he was doing well, he would somehow cross paths with his childhood [[rival]], [[Gary Oak]], who always reminded Ash that he was always a step or seven behind.<br /> <br /> Ash's dedication to his goal paid off over time, and after earning his first eight badges, he competed in the [[Indigo League]], and advanced further in the rounds than Gary. After recovering from his defeat, he continued on to improve his skill, take on new challenges, and compete in more {{g|League}} competitions.<br /> <br /> Ash has changed a great deal over the course of the series, particularly in regards to his skill at {{g|training}}, but his earnestness and determination have remained. Never straying from his goal, he has remained loyal to his friends, his family, and his supporters, but most of all his Pokémon. Ash became a great Trainer by learning to find and use the inner strength of each of his Pokémon by bonding with them and learning where their hidden abilities lie, as well as resorting to unorthodox strategies when fighting particularly challenging opponents. For example, he uses his Pikachu's speed to outmaneuver larger foes and attack, and defeated [[Gary's Blastoise]] with his {{AP|Charizard}} by causing the field to overheat and have Charizard mount a close-range attack while Blastoise was blinded by the steam. He also prefers to train a Pokémon to be the best it can without making it evolve, and he is hesitant to let his Pokémon evolve to get stronger, as evidenced by his treatment of {{AP|Gligar}} in [[DP085]].<br /> <br /> [[Image:SatoshiAG.png|thumb|left|Ash in the Advanced Generation series]]<br /> Additionally, during the first season of the series, while Ash originally trained not to further himself but instead to catch more Pokémon than his rival, Gary. He later slowed his pace which allowed him to focus on the individual traits of each Pokémon. At the [[Johto]] League [[Silver Conference]], with great humility and maturity, Ash finally won a battle against his old rival, signifying a great milestone in his history. His maturity has also increased in his dealings with Pokémon, as when [[Ash's Primeape|a Mankey]] stole his {{AP|hat}} in ''[[EP025|Primeape Goes Bananas]]'', he screamed and yelled at it, even climbing trees just to get his hat back, but when [[Dawn's Ambipom|an Aipom]] did the same in ''[[AG179|Slaking Kong]]'', he stated merely that he would feel strange without a hat.<br /> <br /> In most episodes of the anime, especially those during the Johto League saga, Ash befriends someone who will influence him and cause him to strive to become a better Trainer. Although he is not a dependent individual, he is still young and has learned to make his way relying on his {{AP|friends}}, particularly the maternal skills of [[Brock]]. The honor of &quot;best friend&quot; is usually reserved for Pikachu but Ash has come to see his closest human friends in the same light over time; using the term for [[Misty]] and [[Brock]] in ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later]]'' as well as {{an|May}} and [[Max]] in ''[[AG178|Battling the Enemy Within]]''.<br /> <br /> He has traversed much of the {{g|world}} and has thus far participated in four [[Pokémon League#Championship competitions|Pokémon League regional competitions]], but he is still learning new things about Pokémon all the time.<br /> <br /> [[Image:AshAura.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Ash using Aura inside the [[Tree of Beginning]]]]<br /> Ash apparently has a close connection with [[Legendary Pokémon]], especially {{p|Ho-Oh}}, {{p|Lugia}}, and {{p|Shaymin}}. In the English dub of the [[The Power of One|second movie]], he was revealed to be &quot;The Chosen One&quot; - the one who would bring balance back to the world. Although viewed as a normal human, Ash does have some special abilities as he is said to have the same [[aura]] as [[Sir Aaron]], a legendary hero, and is theoretically able to manipulate it in much the same way. However, he has not received any training in this field, opting to continue his Pokémon journey instead. He has also been likened to an ancient [[aura]] guardian in ''[[DP056|The Keystone Pops!]]'', who also had a partner {{p|Pikachu}}. Later, in [[DP071]] and [[DP072]], Ash uses [[aura]] again to locate a lost {{p|Riolu}} and read Riolu's mind as well. However, these were one time deals, as Riolu had an unnaturally powerful aura.<br /> <br /> He has a [[Contest Pass]] for the [[Sinnoh]] region, though he has stated that the contest he got it for was the only one he intends on entering. He also has one for the Hoenn region as it was required to watch one of the contests held there. Ash also carries around a broken [[Poké Ball]], of which the other half belongs to Gary and is a symbol of their ongoing, but now friendly, rivalry, as well as [[Misty's special lure]], which she sent to him as a gift, and also half of a ribbon he received in a contest against May before she left the group to compete in Johto.<br /> &lt;br clear=&quot;left&quot;&gt;<br /> <br /> ===&lt;u&gt;Family&lt;/u&gt;===<br /> Ash lived with his mother, [[Delia Ketchum]], until he left for his Pokémon journey at the age of ten.<br /> <br /> His father is never introduced. The anime suggests that his father was once a Pokémon Trainer, but it is unclear whether he is still living. There has been much discussion in the fandom as to the identity of Ash's father, though the writers have chosen to not focus on this aspect of Ash's life. Common characters put forward by fans for the role are [[Giovanni]], [[Professor Oak]] and {{an|Silver}}. In {{g|Live!}}, Delia told Ash that Giovanni had once been her boyfriend, and that he was Ash's father. However, this has never been officially acknowledged.<br /> <br /> Ash is an only child, breaking from the tradition of several other main characters, with the exception of {{an|Dawn}} and possibly {{Tracey}}, whose siblings are often a foil or focal point in their lives.<br /> <br /> ===Pokémon===<br /> ====On hand====<br /> &lt;!--Don't touch the tables if you don't know what you're doing.

For example, while anime Ash is indifferent to romance or members of the opposite gender (or same gender, some may argue), manga Ash has a big crush on Gary's sister, [[May Oak]]. He's also prone to quickly falling in love like Brock, but to a much less extreme degree.<br /> ===Pokémon===<br /> [[Image:Satoshidengeki.PNG|thumb|right|Ash in [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]] manga.]]<br /> {|border=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;border: 1px solid #000; border-collapse: collapse;&quot; width=300px cellspacing=&quot;0&quot;<br /> |-<br /> | align=center | [[Image:025.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{AP|Pikachu}}<br /> | align=center | [[Image:022.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{AP|Fearow}}<br /> | align=center | [[Image:017.png]]&lt;br&gt;[[Ash's Pidgeot|Pidgeotto]]<br /> |-<br /> | align=center colspan=3 | [[Image:010.png]] &amp;rarr; [[Image:011.png]] &amp;rarr; [[Image:012.png]]&lt;br&gt;[[Ash's Butterfree|Caterpie &amp;rarr; Metapod &amp;rarr; Butterfree]]<br /> |-<br /> | align=center colspan=3 | [[Image:004.png]] &amp;rarr; [[Image:005.png]] &amp;rarr; [[Image:006.png]]&lt;br&gt;[[Ash's Charizard|Charmander &amp;rarr; Charmeleon &amp;rarr; Charizard]]<br /> |-<br /> | align=center | [[Image:001.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{AP|Bulbasaur}}<br /> | align=center | [[Image:007.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{AP|Squirtle}}<br /> | align=center | [[Image:043.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{p|Oddish}}<br /> |-<br /> | align=center | [[Image:015.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{p|Beedrill}}<br /> | align=center | [[Image:099.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{AP|Kingler}}<br /> | align=center | [[Image:089.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{AP|Muk}}<br /> |-<br /> | align=center | [[Image:128.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{AP|Tauros}}<br /> | align=center | [[Image:131.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{AP|Lapras}}<br /> | align=center | [[Image:143.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{AP|Snorlax}}<br /> |}<br /> <br /> ====Traded away====<br /> {|border=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;border: 1px solid #000; border-collapse: collapse;&quot; width=150px cellspacing=&quot;0&quot;<br /> |-<br /> | align=center | [[Image:056.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{p|Mankey}} (Given away for a map, which turns out to be fake)<br /> | align=center | [[Image:079.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{p|Slowpoke}} ([[Giant Pokémon|Giant]])&lt;br&gt;(Given away to [[Gary]] for [[May Oak]]'s photo)<br /> |}<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> ==In the TCG==<br /> This listing is of cards mentioning or featuring Ash or his Pokémon in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]].<br /> <br /> {| {{bluetable}} <br /> |- style=&quot;background: #DDDDFF;&quot;<br /> !Name<br /> !Type<br /> !Level<br /> !Rarity<br /> !Set<br /> !Set no.<br /> |-<br /> | {{TCG ID|7th Movie Half Deck|Ash's Torkoal|9}} || {{e|Fighting}} || - || - || {{TCG|7th Movie Half Deck}} (no English release) || 9/19<br /> |-<br /> | {{TCG ID|8th Movie Half Deck|Ash's Grovyle|1}} || {{e|Grass}} || - || - || {{TCG|8th Movie Half Deck}} (no English release) || 1/20<br /> |-<br /> | {{TCG ID|8th Movie Half Deck|Ash's Phanpy|4}} || {{e|Fighting}} || - || - || {{TCG|8th Movie Half Deck}} (no English release) || 4/20<br /> |-<br /> | {{TCG ID|8th Movie Half Deck|Ash's Swellow|7}} || {{e|Colorless}} || - || - || {{TCG|8th Movie Half Deck}} (no English release) || 7/20<br /> |-<br /> | {{TCG ID|9th Movie Half Deck|Ash's Aipom|10}} || {{e|Colorless}} || - || - || {{TCG|9th Movie Half Deck}} (no English release) || 10/19<br /> |-<br /> | {{TCG ID|&quot;ADV-P&quot; Promo|Ash's Treecko|36}} || {{e|Grass}} || - || - || {{TCG|&quot;ADV-P&quot; Promotional cards}} (no English release) || 36/&quot;ADV-P&quot;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> ==Trivia==<br /> <br /> *Hoenn and Sinnoh are the only regions wherein Ash did not catch all of the [[starter Pokémon]]. In Hoenn he has only caught Treecko, which evolved into a Grovyle and later on a Sceptile. As for Sinnoh he is only missing {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}.<br /> *In [[EP009|the ninth episode]] Ash mentioned that he had been a Pokémon trainer for 2 months. This time frame is further reinforced when Ash learns that the Pokémon League will begin in two months when he [[EP065|returns to Pallet Town]] after earning his eighth badge - he arrives at Indigo Stadium [[EP074|nine episodes later]]. If time continued at this rate, he would be at least 20 years old in the latest Japanese episode, something that's implied strongly by {{MTR}} in ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation!]]''. However, given that some episodes take place directly after each other, this time frame is clearly not consistent. <br /> * Ash has been mistaken to be the son of two women from [[Kanto]] and the [[Orange Islands]]. The first time was in ''[[EP027|Hypno's Naptime]]'' where he was mistaken for a boy named Arnold, while the second was in ''[[EP108|Pokémon Double Trouble]]'' when [[Luana]] mistook him for her son [[Travis]].<br /> *Ash has caught 49 &lt;!--Count good as of DP100: the evolution of Turtwig into Grotle--&gt;different kinds of Pokémon, including evolutions and counting Larvitar, Seaking, Beedrill, Haunter, and Raticate, even though Larvitar and Haunter were not officially his, Beedrill was given away nearly immediately, and Seaking was released as part of contest rules. The original tagline for the dub was &quot;[[Gotta Catch 'em All!]]&quot;, but Ash has only caught 9.74% of the current number of Pokémon. This line was eventually dropped in 2003, when he only had 8.03% of the then total of 386.<br /> *Ash has caught or received 64 different individual Pokémon, 30 of which are his Tauros.<br /> *Ash's first choice of a starter was Squirtle. Later, it is revealed that Gary was the one who, in fact, chose Squirtle. Ash's second choice was Bulbasaur, while his third was Charmander.<br /> *So far, every time Ash becomes the champion of something, he then battles and gets defeated by {{Gary}} a few episodes later, before heading off to a new region. This has happened after his championing of the [[Orange League]] and the Hoenn {{ho|Battle Frontier}}, which were both &quot;filler seasons&quot; before the start of even-numbered generations.<br /> *In ''[[EP241|Hocus Pokémon]]'', Ash was transformed into a {{p|Pikachu}}. This transformed state is sometimes referred to as [[Ashachu]].<br /> *Ash has captured each [[generation]]'s {{type2|Grass}} [[starter Pokémon]] (Bulbasaur, Chikorita, Treecko, Turtwig).<br /> *In both the [[Timeline of events in the anime#Kanto|Kanto]] and [[Timeline of events in the anime#Johto|Johto]] story arcs, Ash managed to capture all three of the starter Pokémon for both regions. This trend was broken in the [[Advanced Generation series]], where he only captured {{AP|Treecko}}, while the other two were {{OP|May|Torchic}} and {{OP|Brock|Mudkip}}. However, it is possible that the trend will be reestablished in the [[Diamond &amp; Pearl series]] story arc, as Ash has already managed to capture both a {{AP|Turtwig}} and {{AP|Chimchar}}, two of the Sinnoh region's starter Pokémon. This is unlikely, however, as {{an|Dawn}} already has the third, {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}.<br /> **However, he did command Piplup during ''[[DP046|A-Maze-ing Race!]]'', and Chimchar during its last few minutes on Paul's team.<br /> *Ash has captured one {{type2|Flying}} Pokémon from each series region that players can encounter early in different games: {{AP|Pidgeotto}}, {{AP|Noctowl}}, {{AP|Taillow}}, and {{AP|Starly}}.<br /> *In each region (except for the Orange Islands), Ash always loses against at least one of the [[Gym Leader]]s before challenging them to a rematch.<br /> *With the exception of Koga, Ash had to either do some sort of heroic deed or re-challenge all of the Kanto Gym Leaders to earn his badge. This, however, never applied to his Earth Badge, as he never battled against Giovanni himself, instead challenging the Team Rocket trio that had constantly followed him.<br /> *So far, Ash always befriends someone shortly before the regional tournament. That person will beat Ash later on in the semifinals.<br /> *Though not as touched on anymore, a running gag in the English version of the series involved [[Delia Ketchum|his mother]] making sure that Ash changed his underwear every single day.<br /> *Ash's room, seen at the start of [[EP001|the first episode]], contains a lot of merchandise based off various Pokémon, including a bedspread with a [[Poké Ball]] pattern, a trash can with a {{p|Staryu}} on it, a big {{p|Snorlax}} [[Pokémon doll|doll]], a {{p|Poliwag}} pencil sharpener, a {{p|Clefairy}} bank, a {{p|Zubat}} mobile, a poster with {{p|Squirtle}}, {{p|Bulbasaur}} and {{p|Charmander}}, and a {{p|Voltorb}} alarm clock with a {{p|Pidgey}} inside it which he breaks in his sleep. He also has many books, a globe, a boombox, a television and a [[Bug Catcher]]'s net. Based on the slanting of the ceiling of his room, it is probably in the attic of his house.<br /> *During his adventures in Kanto, Johto and the Orange Islands, Ash pinned his badges to the inside of his jacket. From Hoenn onwards, they have been kept in some form of case. It is unknown where the badges of Ash's previous journeys are, though it is assumed that they are kept somewhere in his house. Delia placed Ash's trophy from the Orange Islands on top of the television, though this was missing when Ash looked in his living room in ''[[AG192|Home is Where the Start Is]]''. Interestingly, the scene following it showed an identical trophy placed in Professor Oak's lab.<br /> *Each time Ash successfully wins his eighth badge, all eight are stolen, though soon after returned. It is unknown if this will happen again in the [[Diamond &amp; Pearl series]].<br /> *The most badges Ash has ever gotten in the first thirty-five episodes were six badges in Kanto, which makes sense considering that Kanto was significantly shorter than any other saga (aside from the Orange Island saga and the Battle Frontier saga). In every other region thus far, he has only won two badges in the first thirty-five episodes.<br /> *The only girl Ash has even shown a confirmed [[Shipping|interest]] is named [[Giselle]] whom appeared in ''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]''.<br /> *The only {{type2|Fire}} starter Ash has not owned is {{p|Torchic}}.<br /> *Ash is the only {{ashfr|main character}} that has caught a {{shiny2}} Pokémon, which is his {{AP|Noctowl}}.<br /> *Ash has two rivals that started off with turtle-like Pokémon. Gary started with [[Gary's Blastoise|Squirtle]] and Paul started off with [[Paul's Torterra|Turtwig]].<br /> *Ash also has two female friends that started off with bird-like Pokémon. May started off with {{TP|May|Torchic}} and Dawn started off with {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}.<br /> *The characters of the anime that share Ash's voice actress, both in English and in Japanese, are usually female or Pokémon.<br /> *In the case of Ash's Fire-type Pokémon, he always somehow saves them before capturing them, either from an abusive trainer or from other Pokémon.<br /> *Because Ash began wearing his AG clothes before leaving for Hoenn and did not change into his DP clothes until after he arrived in Sinnoh, Ash wore the AG clothes during episodes from all three series.<br /> [[Image:Ash maid.jpg|200px|thumb|Ash crossdressed for a third time.]]<br /> *Ash has crossdressed once in each anime series: ''[[EP026|Pokémon Scent-sation!]]'' was the first time, in the [[original series]], ''[[AG042|Love at First Flight]]'' was the second, in the {{series|Advanced Generation}}, and ''[[DP062|Tanks for the Memories!]]'' was the third, in the {{series|Diamond &amp; Pearl}}. Each time Ash has crossdressed, he was never willing to do so and was coerced or forced into it in some fashion.<br /> **In addition to dressing as a girl, Ash has dressed up as fruit on at least two occasions. The first time, he dressed as an apple in ''[[EP107|Pokémon Food Fight!]]'' while the second he dressed as an eggplant in ''[[AG104|Claydol Big and Tall]]''. On both occasions he was used to lure a large Pokémon.<br /> **Ash has also had to dress up on numerous occasions as actual Pokémon to help out the [[characters of the day]]. He has so far been a Mr. Mime in ''[[EP064|It's Mr. Mime Time]]'', as an Octillery in ''[[EP215|Octillery the Outcast]]'' and as a Seviper in ''[[AG048|Zig Zag Zangoose!]]''.<br /> *Ash has owned four Pokémon that have also been owned by [[Gym Leaders]]. [[Falkner]] ({{AP|Pidgeot}}), [[Flannery]] ({{AP|Torkoal}}), [[Winona]] ({{AP|Swellow}}), and [[Gardenia]] ({{AP|Turtwig}}). Coincidently, all of them either have bird or turtle-like Pokémon. Other Gym Leaders have owned Pokémon that happened to be either the evolved form or pre-evolved form of one of Ash's Pokémon. [[Lt. Surge's Raichu]] ({{AP|Pikachu}}), [[Cissy]]'s {{p|Blastoise}} ({{AP|Squirtle}}), [[Falkner]]'s {{p|Hoothoot}} ({{AP|Noctowl}}), [[Bugsy]]'s {{p|Metapod}} ({{AP|Butterfree}}), and [[Crasher Wake]]'s {{p|Floatzel}} ({{AP|Buizel}}). <br /> ** A related coincidence is that three of the four female Gym Leaders listed above, own a turtle/tortoise-like Pokémon. <br /> *Ash last released a Pokémon during the original series. Since its end, he has been leaving his Pokémon at [[Professor Oak]]'s lab often, a [[EP061|habit]] he got from [[Misty]].<br /> *All of Ash's primate-based Pokémon have been owned by two Trainers - [[Paul]] previously owned {{AP|Chimchar}}, {{ka|Anthony}} currently owns {{AP|Primeape}}, and Dawn currently owns Aipom which later evolved into {{TP|Dawn|Ambipom}}.<br /> *All of Ash's Pokémon that have evolved twice ({{AP|Charizard}}, {{AP|Sceptile}} and {{AP|Butterfree}}) also have cross-generation counterparts on {{an|May}}'s team ({{TP|May|Blaziken}}, {{TP|May|Venusaur}}, and {{TP|May|Beautifly}}, respectively).<br /> *Ash has the most Pokémon that know moves that [[Anime move errors|they can't learn in the games]]: [[Ash's Butterfree|Caterpie]] with {{m|Counter}}, {{AP|Charizard}} with {{m|Tackle}}, {{AP|Bulbasaur}} with {{m|Tickle}} (debatable), {{m|Dig}}, and {{m|Whirlwind}}, {{AP|Raticate}} with {{m|Hi Jump Kick}}, {{AP|Staravia}} with {{m|Gust}}, and {{AP|Larvitar}} with {{m|Harden}}.<br /> *Although Ash is the main character of the Pokémon anime, he has never been featured on an English TCG card.<br /> *Ash has three turtle-like Pokémon: Squirtle, Torkoal and Grotle. Each corresponds to one of the three elemental types of the starter Pokémon, though Torkoal isn't a starter itself.<br /> *Despite having two [[Soothe Bell]]s, Ash has yet to capture any Pokémon that evolve through happiness, while both Brock and Dawn have Pokémon on their team that undergo happiness evolutions at some stage ({{TP|Dawn|Buneary}} and {{TP|Brock|Happiny}}). <br /> *Ash has owned at least one Pokémon of each type except {{t|Dark}}, {{t|Dragon}}, {{t|Steel}}, and {{t|Psychic}}.<br /> *Discounting [[Koga]], who was a [[Gym Leader]] at the time of Ash's battle against him, Ash has so far battled three [[Elite Four]] members, namely [[Lorelei|Prima]], {{EF|Drake}} and [[Agatha]], losing to all three. He has met all four of Generation I Kanto's Elite Four, two of Generation II's, one of Hoenn's, and one of Sinnoh's. He has also met all five in-game champions (or their anime counterparts, at least).<br /> *It is interesting to note that Ash's {{series|Diamond &amp; Pearl}} outfit looks much like {{ga|Lucas}}'s. The biggest difference between the two is the fact that Lucas wears a scarf, and that Ash retains the {{wp|baseball cap}} style for his hat, while Lucas's is a {{wp|flat cap}}.<br /> *Four of Ash's Pokémon have been introduced to moves by someone else: {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{m|Iron Tail}}, {{AP|Swellow}} and {{m|Aerial Ace}}, {{AP|Turtwig}} and {{m|Energy Ball}}, and {{AP|Staravia}} and {{m|Brave Bird}}. Of these, three are [[TM]] moves in the games.<br /> *Three of Ash's Pokémon were caught by him after first premiering in Pokémon movies: {{AP|Donphan}} (''[[Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''), {{AP|Aipom}} (''[[Spell of the Unown]]'') and {{AP|Buizel}} (''[[Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'').<br /> ** Strangely, both Donphan and Aipom are {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}} and were both used in battle against him by an opponent during the opening credits of the movies.<br /> *Altogether, if the movies are considered to be canon, Ash has seen at least twenty-seven different species of legendary Pokémon, and at least ten of them multiple times.<br /> *Seven of Ash's Pokémon decided to join him without battling him (Gligar, Chimchar, Lapras, Chikorita, Charmander, Squirtle, and Torkoal), while another five accepted a challenge against them and were subsequently captured (Turtwig, Treecko, Bulbasaur, Snorunt and Aipom). All of the others he naturally encountered and captured.<br /> <br /> ==Names==<br /> {| border=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;border: 1px solid #88a; border-collapse: collapse;&quot; cellspacing=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;2&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background: #ccf;&quot;<br /> !

His Japanese voice actress is 松本梨香 ''[[Rica Matsumoto]]'', his English voice actresses are [[Veronica Taylor]] ([[4Kids Entertainment]] dub) and [[Sarah Natochenny]] ([[Pokémon USA]] dub), his Brazilian voice actor is [[Fábio Lucindo]], his Italian voice actor is [[Davide Garbolino]], and his Spanish voice actors are [[Adolfo Moreno]] (Spain) and [[Gabriel Ramos]] (Latin America). In the first dub of [[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]] he was voiced by [[Kayzie Rogers|Jamie Peacock]]. <br /> <br /> Ash is apparently based on the main character of [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions]], {{ga|Red}}. He shares his name with the creator of the [[Pokémon]] franchise, [[Satoshi Tajiri]]. His Japanese name can be taken to mean &quot;wisdom&quot; or &quot;reason&quot; (智), and his English name has many meanings. His English last name is a pun on the original English Pokémon motto, &quot;[[Gotta Catch 'em All!]]&quot;. As for his first name, some note that &quot;Ash&quot; has the same letters found in ''S'''a'''to'''sh'''i''.<br /> <br /> {{spoilers}}<br /> <br /> ==In the anime==<br /> ===&lt;u&gt;Character&lt;/u&gt;===<br /> [[Image:Anime Ash.png|thumb|Ash Ketchum in the original series]]<br /> Ash's main goal in life, as described in the first episode, ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', is to be the world's greatest {{g|Master}}. Ash began his journey at the age of 10 as a warm-hearted and well-intentioned but stubborn and unskilled {{g|Trainer}}. He was forced to accept the irreverent {{AP|Pikachu}} from [[Professor Oak]] as his [[starter Pokémon]] because he carelessly broke his alarm clock and woke up late on the day he was set to get his first Pokémon. He was determined to achieve his goal, however, and when he showed his willingness to give up his own safety to keep Pikachu safe, he formed a strong bond of friendship with his Pokémon which would set his course for the future.<br /> <br /> However, from that point, Ash still had a lot to learn about becoming a Trainer. He [[captured Pokémon|caught]] his {{AP|Butterfree|first Pokémon}} by luck, knew nothing about {{g|battle|battling}}, and showed a reluctance to admit when he was wrong. Many of his first [[Gym]] [[badge]]s were given to him out of pity or gratitude for his assistance rather than claiming a victory in battle over the [[Gym Leader]]s. Every time he thought he was doing well, he would somehow cross paths with his childhood [[rival]], [[Gary Oak]], who always reminded Ash that he was always a step or seven behind.<br /> <br /> Ash's dedication to his goal paid off over time, and after earning his first eight badges, he competed in the [[Indigo League]], and advanced further in the rounds than Gary. After recovering from his defeat, he continued on to improve his skill, take on new challenges, and compete in more {{g|League}} competitions.<br /> <br /> Ash has changed a great deal over the course of the series, particularly in regards to his skill at {{g|training}}, but his earnestness and determination have remained. Never straying from his goal, he has remained loyal to his friends, his family, and his supporters, but most of all his Pokémon. Ash became a great Trainer by learning to find and use the inner strength of each of his Pokémon by bonding with them and learning where their hidden abilities lie, as well as resorting to unorthodox strategies when fighting particularly challenging opponents. For example, he uses his Pikachu's speed to outmaneuver larger foes and attack, and defeated [[Gary's Blastoise]] with his {{AP|Charizard}} by causing the field to overheat and have Charizard mount a close-range attack while Blastoise was blinded by the steam. He also prefers to train a Pokémon to be the best it can without making it evolve, and he is hesitant to let his Pokémon evolve to get stronger, as evidenced by his treatment of {{AP|Gligar}} in [[DP085]].<br /> <br /> [[Image:SatoshiAG.png|thumb|left|Ash in the Advanced Generation series]]<br /> Additionally, during the first season of the series, while Ash originally trained not to further himself but instead to catch more Pokémon than his rival, Gary. He later slowed his pace which allowed him to focus on the individual traits of each Pokémon. At the [[Johto]] League [[Silver Conference]], with great humility and maturity, Ash finally won a battle against his old rival, signifying a great milestone in his history. His maturity has also increased in his dealings with Pokémon, as when [[Ash's Primeape|a Mankey]] stole his {{AP|hat}} in ''[[EP025|Primeape Goes Bananas]]'', he screamed and yelled at it, even climbing trees just to get his hat back, but when [[Dawn's Ambipom|an Aipom]] did the same in ''[[AG179|Slaking Kong]]'', he stated merely that he would feel strange without a hat.<br /> <br /> In most episodes of the anime, especially those during the Johto League saga, Ash befriends someone who will influence him and cause him to strive to become a better Trainer. Although he is not a dependent individual, he is still young and has learned to make his way relying on his {{AP|friends}}, particularly the maternal skills of [[Brock]]. The honor of &quot;best friend&quot; is usually reserved for Pikachu but Ash has come to see his closest human friends in the same light over time; using the term for [[Misty]] and [[Brock]] in ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later]]'' as well as {{an|May}} and [[Max]] in ''[[AG178|Battling the Enemy Within]]''.<br /> <br /> He has traversed much of the {{g|world}} and has thus far participated in four [[Pokémon League#Championship competitions|Pokémon League regional competitions]], but he is still learning new things about Pokémon all the time.<br /> <br /> [[Image:AshAura.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Ash using Aura inside the [[Tree of Beginning]]]]<br /> Ash apparently has a close connection with [[Legendary Pokémon]], especially {{p|Ho-Oh}}, {{p|Lugia}}, and {{p|Shaymin}}. In the English dub of the [[The Power of One|second movie]], he was revealed to be &quot;The Chosen One&quot; - the one who would bring balance back to the world. Although viewed as a normal human, Ash does have some special abilities as he is said to have the same [[aura]] as [[Sir Aaron]], a legendary hero, and is theoretically able to manipulate it in much the same way. However, he has not received any training in this field, opting to continue his Pokémon journey instead. He has also been likened to an ancient [[aura]] guardian in ''[[DP056|The Keystone Pops!]]'', who also had a partner {{p|Pikachu}}. Later, in [[DP071]] and [[DP072]], Ash uses [[aura]] again to locate a lost {{p|Riolu}} and read Riolu's mind as well. However, these were one time deals, as Riolu had an unnaturally powerful aura.<br /> <br /> He has a [[Contest Pass]] for the [[Sinnoh]] region, though he has stated that the contest he got it for was the only one he intends on entering. He also has one for the Hoenn region as it was required to watch one of the contests held there. Ash also carries around a broken [[Poké Ball]], of which the other half belongs to Gary and is a symbol of their ongoing, but now friendly, rivalry, as well as [[Misty's special lure]], which she sent to him as a gift, and also half of a ribbon he received in a contest against May before she left the group to compete in Johto.<br /> &lt;br clear=&quot;left&quot;&gt;<br /> <br /> ===&lt;u&gt;Family&lt;/u&gt;===<br /> Ash lived with his mother, [[Delia Ketchum]], until he left for his Pokémon journey at the age of ten.<br /> <br /> His father is never introduced. The anime suggests that his father was once a Pokémon Trainer, but it is unclear whether he is still living. There has been much discussion in the fandom as to the identity of Ash's father, though the writers have chosen to not focus on this aspect of Ash's life. Common characters put forward by fans for the role are [[Giovanni]], [[Professor Oak]] and {{an|Silver}}. In {{g|Live!}}, Delia told Ash that Giovanni had once been her boyfriend, and that he was Ash's father. However, this has never been officially acknowledged.<br /> <br /> Ash is an only child, breaking from the tradition of several other main characters, with the exception of {{an|Dawn}} and possibly {{Tracey}}, whose siblings are often a foil or focal point in their lives.<br /> <br /> ===Pokémon===<br /> ====On hand====<br /> &lt;!--Don't touch the tables if you don't know what you're doing.

For example, while anime Ash is indifferent to romance or members of the opposite gender (or same gender, some may argue), manga Ash has a big crush on Gary's sister, [[May Oak]]. He's also prone to quickly falling in love like Brock, but to a much less extreme degree.<br /> ===Pokémon===<br /> [[Image:Satoshidengeki.PNG|thumb|right|Ash in [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]] manga.]]<br /> {|border=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;border: 1px solid #000; border-collapse: collapse;&quot; width=300px cellspacing=&quot;0&quot;<br /> |-<br /> | align=center | [[Image:025.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{AP|Pikachu}}<br /> | align=center | [[Image:022.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{AP|Fearow}}<br /> | align=center | [[Image:017.png]]&lt;br&gt;[[Ash's Pidgeot|Pidgeotto]]<br /> |-<br /> | align=center colspan=3 | [[Image:010.png]] &amp;rarr; [[Image:011.png]] &amp;rarr; [[Image:012.png]]&lt;br&gt;[[Ash's Butterfree|Caterpie &amp;rarr; Metapod &amp;rarr; Butterfree]]<br /> |-<br /> | align=center colspan=3 | [[Image:004.png]] &amp;rarr; [[Image:005.png]] &amp;rarr; [[Image:006.png]]&lt;br&gt;[[Ash's Charizard|Charmander &amp;rarr; Charmeleon &amp;rarr; Charizard]]<br /> |-<br /> | align=center | [[Image:001.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{AP|Bulbasaur}}<br /> | align=center | [[Image:007.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{AP|Squirtle}}<br /> | align=center | [[Image:043.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{p|Oddish}}<br /> |-<br /> | align=center | [[Image:015.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{p|Beedrill}}<br /> | align=center | [[Image:099.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{AP|Kingler}}<br /> | align=center | [[Image:089.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{AP|Muk}}<br /> |-<br /> | align=center | [[Image:128.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{AP|Tauros}}<br /> | align=center | [[Image:131.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{AP|Lapras}}<br /> | align=center | [[Image:143.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{AP|Snorlax}}<br /> |}<br /> <br /> ====Traded away====<br /> {|border=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;border: 1px solid #000; border-collapse: collapse;&quot; width=150px cellspacing=&quot;0&quot;<br /> |-<br /> | align=center | [[Image:056.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{p|Mankey}} (Given away for a map, which turns out to be fake)<br /> | align=center | [[Image:079.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{p|Slowpoke}} ([[Giant Pokémon|Giant]])&lt;br&gt;(Given away to [[Gary]] for [[May Oak]]'s photo)<br /> |}<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> ==In the TCG==<br /> This listing is of cards mentioning or featuring Ash or his Pokémon in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]].<br /> <br /> {| {{bluetable}} <br /> |- style=&quot;background: #DDDDFF;&quot;<br /> !Name<br /> !Type<br /> !Level<br /> !Rarity<br /> !Set<br /> !Set no.<br /> |-<br /> | {{TCG ID|7th Movie Half Deck|Ash's Torkoal|9}} || {{e|Fighting}} || - || - || {{TCG|7th Movie Half Deck}} (no English release) || 9/19<br /> |-<br /> | {{TCG ID|8th Movie Half Deck|Ash's Grovyle|1}} || {{e|Grass}} || - || - || {{TCG|8th Movie Half Deck}} (no English release) || 1/20<br /> |-<br /> | {{TCG ID|8th Movie Half Deck|Ash's Phanpy|4}} || {{e|Fighting}} || - || - || {{TCG|8th Movie Half Deck}} (no English release) || 4/20<br /> |-<br /> | {{TCG ID|8th Movie Half Deck|Ash's Swellow|7}} || {{e|Colorless}} || - || - || {{TCG|8th Movie Half Deck}} (no English release) || 7/20<br /> |-<br /> | {{TCG ID|9th Movie Half Deck|Ash's Aipom|10}} || {{e|Colorless}} || - || - || {{TCG|9th Movie Half Deck}} (no English release) || 10/19<br /> |-<br /> | {{TCG ID|&quot;ADV-P&quot; Promo|Ash's Treecko|36}} || {{e|Grass}} || - || - || {{TCG|&quot;ADV-P&quot; Promotional cards}} (no English release) || 36/&quot;ADV-P&quot;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> ==Trivia==<br /> <br /> *Hoenn and Sinnoh are the only regions wherein Ash did not catch all of the [[starter Pokémon]]. In Hoenn he has only caught Treecko, which evolved into a Grovyle and later on a Sceptile. As for Sinnoh he is only missing {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}.<br /> *In [[EP009|the ninth episode]] Ash mentioned that he had been a Pokémon trainer for 2 months. This time frame is further reinforced when Ash learns that the Pokémon League will begin in two months when he [[EP065|returns to Pallet Town]] after earning his eighth badge - he arrives at Indigo Stadium [[EP074|nine episodes later]]. If time continued at this rate, he would be at least 20 years old in the latest Japanese episode, something that's implied strongly by {{MTR}} in ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation!]]''. However, given that some episodes take place directly after each other, this time frame is clearly not consistent. <br /> * Ash has been mistaken to be the son of two women from [[Kanto]] and the [[Orange Islands]]. The first time was in ''[[EP027|Hypno's Naptime]]'' where he was mistaken for a boy named Arnold, while the second was in ''[[EP108|Pokémon Double Trouble]]'' when [[Luana]] mistook him for her son [[Travis]].<br /> *Ash has caught 49 &lt;!--Count good as of DP100: the evolution of Turtwig into Grotle--&gt;different kinds of Pokémon, including evolutions and counting Larvitar, Seaking, Beedrill, Haunter, and Raticate, even though Larvitar and Haunter were not officially his, Beedrill was given away nearly immediately, and Seaking was released as part of contest rules. The original tagline for the dub was &quot;[[Gotta Catch 'em All!]]&quot;, but Ash has only caught 9.74% of the current number of Pokémon. This line was eventually dropped in 2003, when he only had 8.03% of the then total of 386.<br /> *Ash has caught or received 64 different individual Pokémon, 30 of which are his Tauros.<br /> *Ash's first choice of a starter was Squirtle. Later, it is revealed that Gary was the one who, in fact, chose Squirtle. Ash's second choice was Bulbasaur, while his third was Charmander.<br /> *So far, every time Ash becomes the champion of something, he then battles and gets defeated by {{Gary}} a few episodes later, before heading off to a new region. This has happened after his championing of the [[Orange League]] and the Hoenn {{ho|Battle Frontier}}, which were both &quot;filler seasons&quot; before the start of even-numbered generations.<br /> *In ''[[EP241|Hocus Pokémon]]'', Ash was transformed into a {{p|Pikachu}}. This transformed state is sometimes referred to as [[Ashachu]].<br /> *Ash has captured each [[generation]]'s {{type2|Grass}} [[starter Pokémon]] (Bulbasaur, Chikorita, Treecko, Turtwig).<br /> *In both the [[Timeline of events in the anime#Kanto|Kanto]] and [[Timeline of events in the anime#Johto|Johto]] story arcs, Ash managed to capture all three of the starter Pokémon for both regions. This trend was broken in the [[Advanced Generation series]], where he only captured {{AP|Treecko}}, while the other two were {{OP|May|Torchic}} and {{OP|Brock|Mudkip}}. However, it is possible that the trend will be reestablished in the [[Diamond &amp; Pearl series]] story arc, as Ash has already managed to capture both a {{AP|Turtwig}} and {{AP|Chimchar}}, two of the Sinnoh region's starter Pokémon. This is unlikely, however, as {{an|Dawn}} already has the third, {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}.<br /> **However, he did command Piplup during ''[[DP046|A-Maze-ing Race!]]'', and Chimchar during its last few minutes on Paul's team.<br /> *Ash has captured one {{type2|Flying}} Pokémon from each series region that players can encounter early in different games: {{AP|Pidgeotto}}, {{AP|Noctowl}}, {{AP|Taillow}}, and {{AP|Starly}}.<br /> *In each region (except for the Orange Islands), Ash always loses against at least one of the [[Gym Leader]]s before challenging them to a rematch.<br /> *With the exception of Koga, Ash had to either do some sort of heroic deed or re-challenge all of the Kanto Gym Leaders to earn his badge. This, however, never applied to his Earth Badge, as he never battled against Giovanni himself, instead challenging the Team Rocket trio that had constantly followed him.<br /> *So far, Ash always befriends someone shortly before the regional tournament. That person will beat Ash later on in the semifinals.<br /> *Though not as touched on anymore, a running gag in the English version of the series involved [[Delia Ketchum|his mother]] making sure that Ash changed his underwear every single day.<br /> *Ash's room, seen at the start of [[EP001|the first episode]], contains a lot of merchandise based off various Pokémon, including a bedspread with a [[Poké Ball]] pattern, a trash can with a {{p|Staryu}} on it, a big {{p|Snorlax}} [[Pokémon doll|doll]], a {{p|Poliwag}} pencil sharpener, a {{p|Clefairy}} bank, a {{p|Zubat}} mobile, a poster with {{p|Squirtle}}, {{p|Bulbasaur}} and {{p|Charmander}}, and a {{p|Voltorb}} alarm clock with a {{p|Pidgey}} inside it which he breaks in his sleep. He also has many books, a globe, a boombox, a television and a [[Bug Catcher]]'s net. Based on the slanting of the ceiling of his room, it is probably in the attic of his house.<br /> *During his adventures in Kanto, Johto and the Orange Islands, Ash pinned his badges to the inside of his jacket. From Hoenn onwards, they have been kept in some form of case. It is unknown where the badges of Ash's previous journeys are, though it is assumed that they are kept somewhere in his house. Delia placed Ash's trophy from the Orange Islands on top of the television, though this was missing when Ash looked in his living room in ''[[AG192|Home is Where the Start Is]]''. Interestingly, the scene following it showed an identical trophy placed in Professor Oak's lab.<br /> *Each time Ash successfully wins his eighth badge, all eight are stolen, though soon after returned. It is unknown if this will happen again in the [[Diamond &amp; Pearl series]].<br /> *The most badges Ash has ever gotten in the first thirty-five episodes were six badges in Kanto, which makes sense considering that Kanto was significantly shorter than any other saga (aside from the Orange Island saga and the Battle Frontier saga). In every other region thus far, he has only won two badges in the first thirty-five episodes.<br /> *The only girl Ash has even shown a confirmed [[Shipping|interest]] is named [[Giselle]] whom appeared in ''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]''.<br /> *The only {{type2|Fire}} starter Ash has not owned is {{p|Torchic}}.<br /> *Ash is the only {{ashfr|main character}} that has caught a {{shiny2}} Pokémon, which is his {{AP|Noctowl}}.<br /> *Ash has two rivals that started off with turtle-like Pokémon. Gary started with [[Gary's Blastoise|Squirtle]] and Paul started off with [[Paul's Torterra|Turtwig]].<br /> *Ash also has two female friends that started off with bird-like Pokémon. May started off with {{TP|May|Torchic}} and Dawn started off with {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}.<br /> *The characters of the anime that share Ash's voice actress, both in English and in Japanese, are usually female or Pokémon.<br /> *In the case of Ash's Fire-type Pokémon, he always somehow saves them before capturing them, either from an abusive trainer or from other Pokémon.<br /> *Because Ash began wearing his AG clothes before leaving for Hoenn and did not change into his DP clothes until after he arrived in Sinnoh, Ash wore the AG clothes during episodes from all three series.<br /> [[Image:Ash maid.jpg|200px|thumb|Ash crossdressed for a third time.]]<br /> *Ash has crossdressed once in each anime series: ''[[EP026|Pokémon Scent-sation!]]'' was the first time, in the [[original series]], ''[[AG042|Love at First Flight]]'' was the second, in the {{series|Advanced Generation}}, and ''[[DP062|Tanks for the Memories!]]'' was the third, in the {{series|Diamond &amp; Pearl}}. Each time Ash has crossdressed, he was never willing to do so and was coerced or forced into it in some fashion.<br /> **In addition to dressing as a girl, Ash has dressed up as fruit on at least two occasions. The first time, he dressed as an apple in ''[[EP107|Pokémon Food Fight!]]'' while the second he dressed as an eggplant in ''[[AG104|Claydol Big and Tall]]''. On both occasions he was used to lure a large Pokémon.<br /> **Ash has also had to dress up on numerous occasions as actual Pokémon to help out the [[characters of the day]]. He has so far been a Mr. Mime in ''[[EP064|It's Mr. Mime Time]]'', as an Octillery in ''[[EP215|Octillery the Outcast]]'' and as a Seviper in ''[[AG048|Zig Zag Zangoose!]]''.<br /> *Ash has owned four Pokémon that have also been owned by [[Gym Leaders]]. [[Falkner]] ({{AP|Pidgeot}}), [[Flannery]] ({{AP|Torkoal}}), [[Winona]] ({{AP|Swellow}}), and [[Gardenia]] ({{AP|Turtwig}}). Coincidently, all of them either have bird or turtle-like Pokémon. Other Gym Leaders have owned Pokémon that happened to be either the evolved form or pre-evolved form of one of Ash's Pokémon. [[Lt. Surge's Raichu]] ({{AP|Pikachu}}), [[Cissy]]'s {{p|Blastoise}} ({{AP|Squirtle}}), [[Falkner]]'s {{p|Hoothoot}} ({{AP|Noctowl}}), [[Bugsy]]'s {{p|Metapod}} ({{AP|Butterfree}}), and [[Crasher Wake]]'s {{p|Floatzel}} ({{AP|Buizel}}). <br /> ** A related coincidence is that three of the four female Gym Leaders listed above, own a turtle/tortoise-like Pokémon. <br /> *Ash last released a Pokémon during the original series. Since its end, he has been leaving his Pokémon at [[Professor Oak]]'s lab often, a [[EP061|habit]] he got from [[Misty]].<br /> *All of Ash's primate-based Pokémon have been owned by two Trainers - [[Paul]] previously owned {{AP|Chimchar}}, {{ka|Anthony}} currently owns {{AP|Primeape}}, and Dawn currently owns Aipom which later evolved into {{TP|Dawn|Ambipom}}.<br /> *All of Ash's Pokémon that have evolved twice ({{AP|Charizard}}, {{AP|Sceptile}} and {{AP|Butterfree}}) also have cross-generation counterparts on {{an|May}}'s team ({{TP|May|Blaziken}}, {{TP|May|Venusaur}}, and {{TP|May|Beautifly}}, respectively).<br /> *Ash has the most Pokémon that know moves that [[Anime move errors|they can't learn in the games]]: [[Ash's Butterfree|Caterpie]] with {{m|Counter}}, {{AP|Charizard}} with {{m|Tackle}}, {{AP|Bulbasaur}} with {{m|Tickle}} (debatable), {{m|Dig}}, and {{m|Whirlwind}}, {{AP|Raticate}} with {{m|Hi Jump Kick}}, {{AP|Staravia}} with {{m|Gust}}, and {{AP|Larvitar}} with {{m|Harden}}.<br /> *Although Ash is the main character of the Pokémon anime, he has never been featured on an English TCG card.<br /> *Ash has three turtle-like Pokémon: Squirtle, Torkoal and Grotle. Each corresponds to one of the three elemental types of the starter Pokémon, though Torkoal isn't a starter itself.<br /> *Despite having two [[Soothe Bell]]s, Ash has yet to capture any Pokémon that evolve through happiness, while both Brock and Dawn have Pokémon on their team that undergo happiness evolutions at some stage ({{TP|Dawn|Buneary}} and {{TP|Brock|Happiny}}). <br /> *Ash has owned at least one Pokémon of each type except {{t|Dark}}, {{t|Dragon}}, {{t|Steel}}, and {{t|Psychic}}.<br /> *Discounting [[Koga]], who was a [[Gym Leader]] at the time of Ash's battle against him, Ash has so far battled three [[Elite Four]] members, namely [[Lorelei|Prima]], {{EF|Drake}} and [[Agatha]], losing to all three. He has met all four of Generation I Kanto's Elite Four, two of Generation II's, one of Hoenn's, and one of Sinnoh's. He has also met all five in-game champions (or their anime counterparts, at least).<br /> *It is interesting to note that Ash's {{series|Diamond &amp; Pearl}} outfit looks much like {{ga|Lucas}}'s. The biggest difference between the two is the fact that Lucas wears a scarf, and that Ash retains the {{wp|baseball cap}} style for his hat, while Lucas's is a {{wp|flat cap}}.<br /> *Four of Ash's Pokémon have been introduced to moves by someone else: {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{m|Iron Tail}}, {{AP|Swellow}} and {{m|Aerial Ace}}, {{AP|Turtwig}} and {{m|Energy Ball}}, and {{AP|Staravia}} and {{m|Brave Bird}}. Of these, three are [[TM]] moves in the games.<br /> *Three of Ash's Pokémon were caught by him after first premiering in Pokémon movies: {{AP|Donphan}} (''[[Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''), {{AP|Aipom}} (''[[Spell of the Unown]]'') and {{AP|Buizel}} (''[[Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'').<br /> ** Strangely, both Donphan and Aipom are {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}} and were both used in battle against him by an opponent during the opening credits of the movies.<br /> *Altogether, if the movies are considered to be canon, Ash has seen at least twenty-seven different species of legendary Pokémon, and at least ten of them multiple times.<br /> *Seven of Ash's Pokémon decided to join him without battling him (Gligar, Chimchar, Lapras, Chikorita, Charmander, Squirtle, and Torkoal), while another five accepted a challenge against them and were subsequently captured (Turtwig, Treecko, Bulbasaur, Snorunt and Aipom). All of the others he naturally encountered and captured.<br /> <br /> ==Names==<br /> {| border=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;border: 1px solid #88a; border-collapse: collapse;&quot; cellspacing=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;2&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background: #ccf;&quot;<br /> !

His Japanese voice actress is 松本梨香 ''[[Rica Matsumoto]]'', his English voice actresses are [[Veronica Taylor]] ([[4Kids Entertainment]] dub) and [[Sarah Natochenny]] ([[Pokémon USA]] dub), his Brazilian voice actor is [[Fábio Lucindo]], his Italian voice actor is [[Davide Garbolino]], and his Spanish voice actors are [[Adolfo Moreno]] (Spain) and [[Gabriel Ramos]] (Latin America). In the first dub of [[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]] he was voiced by [[Kayzie Rogers|Jamie Peacock]]. <br /> <br /> Ash is apparently based on the main character of [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions]], {{ga|Red}}. He shares his name with the creator of the [[Pokémon]] franchise, [[Satoshi Tajiri]]. His Japanese name can be taken to mean &quot;wisdom&quot; or &quot;reason&quot; (智), and his English name has many meanings. His English last name is a pun on the original English Pokémon motto, &quot;[[Gotta Catch 'em All!]]&quot;. As for his first name, some note that &quot;Ash&quot; has the same letters found in ''S'''a'''to'''sh'''i''.<br /> <br /> {{spoilers}}<br /> <br /> ==In the anime==<br /> ===&lt;u&gt;Character&lt;/u&gt;===<br /> [[Image:Anime Ash.png|thumb|Ash Ketchum in the original series]]<br /> Ash's main goal in life, as described in the first episode, ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', is to be the world's greatest {{g|Master}}. Ash began his journey at the age of 10 as a warm-hearted and well-intentioned but stubborn and unskilled {{g|Trainer}}. He was forced to accept the irreverent {{AP|Pikachu}} from [[Professor Oak]] as his [[starter Pokémon]] because he carelessly broke his alarm clock and woke up late on the day he was set to get his first Pokémon. He was determined to achieve his goal, however, and when he showed his willingness to give up his own safety to keep Pikachu safe, he formed a strong bond of friendship with his Pokémon which would set his course for the future.<br /> <br /> However, from that point, Ash still had a lot to learn about becoming a Trainer. He [[captured Pokémon|caught]] his {{AP|Butterfree|first Pokémon}} by luck, knew nothing about {{g|battle|battling}}, and showed a reluctance to admit when he was wrong. Many of his first [[Gym]] [[badge]]s were given to him out of pity or gratitude for his assistance rather than claiming a victory in battle over the [[Gym Leader]]s. Every time he thought he was doing well, he would somehow cross paths with his childhood [[rival]], [[Gary Oak]], who always reminded Ash that he was always a step or seven behind.<br /> <br /> Ash's dedication to his goal paid off over time, and after earning his first eight badges, he competed in the [[Indigo League]], and advanced further in the rounds than Gary. After recovering from his defeat, he continued on to improve his skill, take on new challenges, and compete in more {{g|League}} competitions.<br /> <br /> Ash has changed a great deal over the course of the series, particularly in regards to his skill at {{g|training}}, but his earnestness and determination have remained. Never straying from his goal, he has remained loyal to his friends, his family, and his supporters, but most of all his Pokémon. Ash became a great Trainer by learning to find and use the inner strength of each of his Pokémon by bonding with them and learning where their hidden abilities lie, as well as resorting to unorthodox strategies when fighting particularly challenging opponents. For example, he uses his Pikachu's speed to outmaneuver larger foes and attack, and defeated [[Gary's Blastoise]] with his {{AP|Charizard}} by causing the field to overheat and have Charizard mount a close-range attack while Blastoise was blinded by the steam. He also prefers to train a Pokémon to be the best it can without making it evolve, and he is hesitant to let his Pokémon evolve to get stronger, as evidenced by his treatment of {{AP|Gligar}} in [[DP085]].<br /> <br /> [[Image:SatoshiAG.png|thumb|left|Ash in the Advanced Generation series]]<br /> Additionally, during the first season of the series, while Ash originally trained not to further himself but instead to catch more Pokémon than his rival, Gary. He later slowed his pace which allowed him to focus on the individual traits of each Pokémon. At the [[Johto]] League [[Silver Conference]], with great humility and maturity, Ash finally won a battle against his old rival, signifying a great milestone in his history. His maturity has also increased in his dealings with Pokémon, as when [[Ash's Primeape|a Mankey]] stole his {{AP|hat}} in ''[[EP025|Primeape Goes Bananas]]'', he screamed and yelled at it, even climbing trees just to get his hat back, but when [[Dawn's Ambipom|an Aipom]] did the same in ''[[AG179|Slaking Kong]]'', he stated merely that he would feel strange without a hat.<br /> <br /> In most episodes of the anime, especially those during the Johto League saga, Ash befriends someone who will influence him and cause him to strive to become a better Trainer. Although he is not a dependent individual, he is still young and has learned to make his way relying on his {{AP|friends}}, particularly the maternal skills of [[Brock]]. The honor of &quot;best friend&quot; is usually reserved for Pikachu but Ash has come to see his closest human friends in the same light over time; using the term for [[Misty]] and [[Brock]] in ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later]]'' as well as {{an|May}} and [[Max]] in ''[[AG178|Battling the Enemy Within]]''.<br /> <br /> He has traversed much of the {{g|world}} and has thus far participated in four [[Pokémon League#Championship competitions|Pokémon League regional competitions]], but he is still learning new things about Pokémon all the time.<br /> <br /> [[Image:AshAura.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Ash using Aura inside the [[Tree of Beginning]]]]<br /> Ash apparently has a close connection with [[Legendary Pokémon]], especially {{p|Ho-Oh}}, {{p|Lugia}}, and {{p|Shaymin}}. In the English dub of the [[The Power of One|second movie]], he was revealed to be &quot;The Chosen One&quot; - the one who would bring balance back to the world. Although viewed as a normal human, Ash does have some special abilities as he is said to have the same [[aura]] as [[Sir Aaron]], a legendary hero, and is theoretically able to manipulate it in much the same way. However, he has not received any training in this field, opting to continue his Pokémon journey instead. He has also been likened to an ancient [[aura]] guardian in ''[[DP056|The Keystone Pops!]]'', who also had a partner {{p|Pikachu}}. Later, in [[DP071]] and [[DP072]], Ash uses [[aura]] again to locate a lost {{p|Riolu}} and read Riolu's mind as well. However, these were one time deals, as Riolu had an unnaturally powerful aura.<br /> <br /> He has a [[Contest Pass]] for the [[Sinnoh]] region, though he has stated that the contest he got it for was the only one he intends on entering. He also has one for the Hoenn region as it was required to watch one of the contests held there. Ash also carries around a broken [[Poké Ball]], of which the other half belongs to Gary and is a symbol of their ongoing, but now friendly, rivalry, as well as [[Misty's special lure]], which she sent to him as a gift, and also half of a ribbon he received in a contest against May before she left the group to compete in Johto.<br /> &lt;br clear=&quot;left&quot;&gt;<br /> <br /> ===&lt;u&gt;Family&lt;/u&gt;===<br /> Ash lived with his mother, [[Delia Ketchum]], until he left for his Pokémon journey at the age of ten.<br /> <br /> His father is never introduced. The anime suggests that his father was once a Pokémon Trainer, but it is unclear whether he is still living. There has been much discussion in the fandom as to the identity of Ash's father, though the writers have chosen to not focus on this aspect of Ash's life. Common characters put forward by fans for the role are [[Giovanni]], [[Professor Oak]] and {{an|Silver}}. In {{g|Live!}}, Delia told Ash that Giovanni had once been her boyfriend, and that he was Ash's father. However, this has never been officially acknowledged.<br /> <br /> Ash is an only child, breaking from the tradition of several other main characters, with the exception of {{an|Dawn}} and possibly {{Tracey}}, whose siblings are often a foil or focal point in their lives.<br /> <br /> ===Pokémon===<br /> ====On hand====<br /> &lt;!--Don't touch the tables if you don't know what you're doing.

For example, while anime Ash is indifferent to romance or members of the opposite gender (or same gender, some may argue), manga Ash has a big crush on Gary's sister, [[May Oak]]. He's also prone to quickly falling in love like Brock, but to a much less extreme degree.<br /> ===Pokémon===<br /> [[Image:Satoshidengeki.PNG|thumb|right|Ash in [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]] manga.]]<br /> {|border=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;border: 1px solid #000; border-collapse: collapse;&quot; width=300px cellspacing=&quot;0&quot;<br /> |-<br /> | align=center | [[Image:025.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{AP|Pikachu}}<br /> | align=center | [[Image:022.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{AP|Fearow}}<br /> | align=center | [[Image:017.png]]&lt;br&gt;[[Ash's Pidgeot|Pidgeotto]]<br /> |-<br /> | align=center colspan=3 | [[Image:010.png]] &amp;rarr; [[Image:011.png]] &amp;rarr; [[Image:012.png]]&lt;br&gt;[[Ash's Butterfree|Caterpie &amp;rarr; Metapod &amp;rarr; Butterfree]]<br /> |-<br /> | align=center colspan=3 | [[Image:004.png]] &amp;rarr; [[Image:005.png]] &amp;rarr; [[Image:006.png]]&lt;br&gt;[[Ash's Charizard|Charmander &amp;rarr; Charmeleon &amp;rarr; Charizard]]<br /> |-<br /> | align=center | [[Image:001.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{AP|Bulbasaur}}<br /> | align=center | [[Image:007.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{AP|Squirtle}}<br /> | align=center | [[Image:043.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{p|Oddish}}<br /> |-<br /> | align=center | [[Image:015.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{p|Beedrill}}<br /> | align=center | [[Image:099.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{AP|Kingler}}<br /> | align=center | [[Image:089.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{AP|Muk}}<br /> |-<br /> | align=center | [[Image:128.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{AP|Tauros}}<br /> | align=center | [[Image:131.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{AP|Lapras}}<br /> | align=center | [[Image:143.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{AP|Snorlax}}<br /> |}<br /> <br /> ====Traded away====<br /> {|border=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;border: 1px solid #000; border-collapse: collapse;&quot; width=150px cellspacing=&quot;0&quot;<br /> |-<br /> | align=center | [[Image:056.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{p|Mankey}} (Given away for a map, which turns out to be fake)<br /> | align=center | [[Image:079.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{p|Slowpoke}} ([[Giant Pokémon|Giant]])&lt;br&gt;(Given away to [[Gary]] for [[May Oak]]'s photo)<br /> |}<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> ==In the TCG==<br /> This listing is of cards mentioning or featuring Ash or his Pokémon in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]].<br /> <br /> {| {{bluetable}} <br /> |- style=&quot;background: #DDDDFF;&quot;<br /> !Name<br /> !Type<br /> !Level<br /> !Rarity<br /> !Set<br /> !Set no.<br /> |-<br /> | {{TCG ID|7th Movie Half Deck|Ash's Torkoal|9}} || {{e|Fighting}} || - || - || {{TCG|7th Movie Half Deck}} (no English release) || 9/19<br /> |-<br /> | {{TCG ID|8th Movie Half Deck|Ash's Grovyle|1}} || {{e|Grass}} || - || - || {{TCG|8th Movie Half Deck}} (no English release) || 1/20<br /> |-<br /> | {{TCG ID|8th Movie Half Deck|Ash's Phanpy|4}} || {{e|Fighting}} || - || - || {{TCG|8th Movie Half Deck}} (no English release) || 4/20<br /> |-<br /> | {{TCG ID|8th Movie Half Deck|Ash's Swellow|7}} || {{e|Colorless}} || - || - || {{TCG|8th Movie Half Deck}} (no English release) || 7/20<br /> |-<br /> | {{TCG ID|9th Movie Half Deck|Ash's Aipom|10}} || {{e|Colorless}} || - || - || {{TCG|9th Movie Half Deck}} (no English release) || 10/19<br /> |-<br /> | {{TCG ID|&quot;ADV-P&quot; Promo|Ash's Treecko|36}} || {{e|Grass}} || - || - || {{TCG|&quot;ADV-P&quot; Promotional cards}} (no English release) || 36/&quot;ADV-P&quot;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> ==Trivia==<br /> <br /> *Hoenn and Sinnoh are the only regions wherein Ash did not catch all of the [[starter Pokémon]]. In Hoenn he has only caught Treecko, which evolved into a Grovyle and later on a Sceptile. As for Sinnoh he is only missing {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}.<br /> *In [[EP009|the ninth episode]] Ash mentioned that he had been a Pokémon trainer for 2 months. This time frame is further reinforced when Ash learns that the Pokémon League will begin in two months when he [[EP065|returns to Pallet Town]] after earning his eighth badge - he arrives at Indigo Stadium [[EP074|nine episodes later]]. If time continued at this rate, he would be at least 20 years old in the latest Japanese episode, something that's implied strongly by {{MTR}} in ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation!]]''. However, given that some episodes take place directly after each other, this time frame is clearly not consistent. <br /> * Ash has been mistaken to be the son of two women from [[Kanto]] and the [[Orange Islands]]. The first time was in ''[[EP027|Hypno's Naptime]]'' where he was mistaken for a boy named Arnold, while the second was in ''[[EP108|Pokémon Double Trouble]]'' when [[Luana]] mistook him for her son [[Travis]].<br /> *Ash has caught 49 &lt;!--Count good as of DP100: the evolution of Turtwig into Grotle--&gt;different kinds of Pokémon, including evolutions and counting Larvitar, Seaking, Beedrill, Haunter, and Raticate, even though Larvitar and Haunter were not officially his, Beedrill was given away nearly immediately, and Seaking was released as part of contest rules. The original tagline for the dub was &quot;[[Gotta Catch 'em All!]]&quot;, but Ash has only caught 9.74% of the current number of Pokémon. This line was eventually dropped in 2003, when he only had 8.03% of the then total of 386.<br /> *Ash has caught or received 64 different individual Pokémon, 30 of which are his Tauros.<br /> *Ash's first choice of a starter was Squirtle. Later, it is revealed that Gary was the one who, in fact, chose Squirtle. Ash's second choice was Bulbasaur, while his third was Charmander.<br /> *So far, every time Ash becomes the champion of something, he then battles and gets defeated by {{Gary}} a few episodes later, before heading off to a new region. This has happened after his championing of the [[Orange League]] and the Hoenn {{ho|Battle Frontier}}, which were both &quot;filler seasons&quot; before the start of even-numbered generations.<br /> *In ''[[EP241|Hocus Pokémon]]'', Ash was transformed into a {{p|Pikachu}}. This transformed state is sometimes referred to as [[Ashachu]].<br /> *Ash has captured each [[generation]]'s {{type2|Grass}} [[starter Pokémon]] (Bulbasaur, Chikorita, Treecko, Turtwig).<br /> *In both the [[Timeline of events in the anime#Kanto|Kanto]] and [[Timeline of events in the anime#Johto|Johto]] story arcs, Ash managed to capture all three of the starter Pokémon for both regions. This trend was broken in the [[Advanced Generation series]], where he only captured {{AP|Treecko}}, while the other two were {{OP|May|Torchic}} and {{OP|Brock|Mudkip}}. However, it is possible that the trend will be reestablished in the [[Diamond &amp; Pearl series]] story arc, as Ash has already managed to capture both a {{AP|Turtwig}} and {{AP|Chimchar}}, two of the Sinnoh region's starter Pokémon. This is unlikely, however, as {{an|Dawn}} already has the third, {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}.<br /> **However, he did command Piplup during ''[[DP046|A-Maze-ing Race!]]'', and Chimchar during its last few minutes on Paul's team.<br /> *Ash has captured one {{type2|Flying}} Pokémon from each series region that players can encounter early in different games: {{AP|Pidgeotto}}, {{AP|Noctowl}}, {{AP|Taillow}}, and {{AP|Starly}}.<br /> *In each region (except for the Orange Islands), Ash always loses against at least one of the [[Gym Leader]]s before challenging them to a rematch.<br /> *With the exception of Koga, Ash had to either do some sort of heroic deed or re-challenge all of the Kanto Gym Leaders to earn his badge. This, however, never applied to his Earth Badge, as he never battled against Giovanni himself, instead challenging the Team Rocket trio that had constantly followed him.<br /> *So far, Ash always befriends someone shortly before the regional tournament. That person will beat Ash later on in the semifinals.<br /> *Though not as touched on anymore, a running gag in the English version of the series involved [[Delia Ketchum|his mother]] making sure that Ash changed his underwear every single day.<br /> *Ash's room, seen at the start of [[EP001|the first episode]], contains a lot of merchandise based off various Pokémon, including a bedspread with a [[Poké Ball]] pattern, a trash can with a {{p|Staryu}} on it, a big {{p|Snorlax}} [[Pokémon doll|doll]], a {{p|Poliwag}} pencil sharpener, a {{p|Clefairy}} bank, a {{p|Zubat}} mobile, a poster with {{p|Squirtle}}, {{p|Bulbasaur}} and {{p|Charmander}}, and a {{p|Voltorb}} alarm clock with a {{p|Pidgey}} inside it which he breaks in his sleep. He also has many books, a globe, a boombox, a television and a [[Bug Catcher]]'s net. Based on the slanting of the ceiling of his room, it is probably in the attic of his house.<br /> *During his adventures in Kanto, Johto and the Orange Islands, Ash pinned his badges to the inside of his jacket. From Hoenn onwards, they have been kept in some form of case. It is unknown where the badges of Ash's previous journeys are, though it is assumed that they are kept somewhere in his house. Delia placed Ash's trophy from the Orange Islands on top of the television, though this was missing when Ash looked in his living room in ''[[AG192|Home is Where the Start Is]]''. Interestingly, the scene following it showed an identical trophy placed in Professor Oak's lab.<br /> *Each time Ash successfully wins his eighth badge, all eight are stolen, though soon after returned. It is unknown if this will happen again in the [[Diamond &amp; Pearl series]].<br /> *The most badges Ash has ever gotten in the first thirty-five episodes were six badges in Kanto, which makes sense considering that Kanto was significantly shorter than any other saga (aside from the Orange Island saga and the Battle Frontier saga). In every other region thus far, he has only won two badges in the first thirty-five episodes.<br /> *The only girl Ash has even shown a confirmed [[Shipping|interest]] is named [[Giselle]] whom appeared in ''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]''.<br /> *The only {{type2|Fire}} starter Ash has not owned is {{p|Torchic}}.<br /> *Ash is the only {{ashfr|main character}} that has caught a {{shiny2}} Pokémon, which is his {{AP|Noctowl}}.<br /> *Ash has two rivals that started off with turtle-like Pokémon. Gary started with [[Gary's Blastoise|Squirtle]] and Paul started off with [[Paul's Torterra|Turtwig]].<br /> *Ash also has two female friends that started off with bird-like Pokémon. May started off with {{TP|May|Torchic}} and Dawn started off with {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}.<br /> *The characters of the anime that share Ash's voice actress, both in English and in Japanese, are usually female or Pokémon.<br /> *In the case of Ash's Fire-type Pokémon, he always somehow saves them before capturing them, either from an abusive trainer or from other Pokémon.<br /> *Because Ash began wearing his AG clothes before leaving for Hoenn and did not change into his DP clothes until after he arrived in Sinnoh, Ash wore the AG clothes during episodes from all three series.<br /> [[Image:Ash maid.jpg|200px|thumb|Ash crossdressed for a third time.]]<br /> *Ash has crossdressed once in each anime series: ''[[EP026|Pokémon Scent-sation!]]'' was the first time, in the [[original series]], ''[[AG042|Love at First Flight]]'' was the second, in the {{series|Advanced Generation}}, and ''[[DP062|Tanks for the Memories!]]'' was the third, in the {{series|Diamond &amp; Pearl}}. Each time Ash has crossdressed, he was never willing to do so and was coerced or forced into it in some fashion.<br /> **In addition to dressing as a girl, Ash has dressed up as fruit on at least two occasions. The first time, he dressed as an apple in ''[[EP107|Pokémon Food Fight!]]'' while the second he dressed as an eggplant in ''[[AG104|Claydol Big and Tall]]''. On both occasions he was used to lure a large Pokémon.<br /> **Ash has also had to dress up on numerous occasions as actual Pokémon to help out the [[characters of the day]]. He has so far been a Mr. Mime in ''[[EP064|It's Mr. Mime Time]]'', as an Octillery in ''[[EP215|Octillery the Outcast]]'' and as a Seviper in ''[[AG048|Zig Zag Zangoose!]]''.<br /> *Ash has owned four Pokémon that have also been owned by [[Gym Leaders]]. [[Falkner]] ({{AP|Pidgeot}}), [[Flannery]] ({{AP|Torkoal}}), [[Winona]] ({{AP|Swellow}}), and [[Gardenia]] ({{AP|Turtwig}}). Coincidently, all of them either have bird or turtle-like Pokémon. Other Gym Leaders have owned Pokémon that happened to be either the evolved form or pre-evolved form of one of Ash's Pokémon. [[Lt. Surge's Raichu]] ({{AP|Pikachu}}), [[Cissy]]'s {{p|Blastoise}} ({{AP|Squirtle}}), [[Falkner]]'s {{p|Hoothoot}} ({{AP|Noctowl}}), [[Bugsy]]'s {{p|Metapod}} ({{AP|Butterfree}}), and [[Crasher Wake]]'s {{p|Floatzel}} ({{AP|Buizel}}). <br /> ** A related coincidence is that three of the four female Gym Leaders listed above, own a turtle/tortoise-like Pokémon. <br /> *Ash last released a Pokémon during the original series. Since its end, he has been leaving his Pokémon at [[Professor Oak]]'s lab often, a [[EP061|habit]] he got from [[Misty]].<br /> *All of Ash's primate-based Pokémon have been owned by two Trainers - [[Paul]] previously owned {{AP|Chimchar}}, {{ka|Anthony}} currently owns {{AP|Primeape}}, and Dawn currently owns Aipom which later evolved into {{TP|Dawn|Ambipom}}.<br /> *All of Ash's Pokémon that have evolved twice ({{AP|Charizard}}, {{AP|Sceptile}} and {{AP|Butterfree}}) also have cross-generation counterparts on {{an|May}}'s team ({{TP|May|Blaziken}}, {{TP|May|Venusaur}}, and {{TP|May|Beautifly}}, respectively).<br /> *Ash has the most Pokémon that know moves that [[Anime move errors|they can't learn in the games]]: [[Ash's Butterfree|Caterpie]] with {{m|Counter}}, {{AP|Charizard}} with {{m|Tackle}}, {{AP|Bulbasaur}} with {{m|Tickle}} (debatable), {{m|Dig}}, and {{m|Whirlwind}}, {{AP|Raticate}} with {{m|Hi Jump Kick}}, {{AP|Staravia}} with {{m|Gust}}, and {{AP|Larvitar}} with {{m|Harden}}.<br /> *Although Ash is the main character of the Pokémon anime, he has never been featured on an English TCG card.<br /> *Ash has three turtle-like Pokémon: Squirtle, Torkoal and Grotle. Each corresponds to one of the three elemental types of the starter Pokémon, though Torkoal isn't a starter itself.<br /> *Despite having two [[Soothe Bell]]s, Ash has yet to capture any Pokémon that evolve through happiness, while both Brock and Dawn have Pokémon on their team that undergo happiness evolutions at some stage ({{TP|Dawn|Buneary}} and {{TP|Brock|Happiny}}). <br /> *Ash has owned at least one Pokémon of each type except {{t|Dark}}, {{t|Dragon}}, {{t|Steel}}, and {{t|Psychic}}.<br /> *Discounting [[Koga]], who was a [[Gym Leader]] at the time of Ash's battle against him, Ash has so far battled three [[Elite Four]] members, namely [[Lorelei|Prima]], {{EF|Drake}} and [[Agatha]], losing to all three. He has met all four of Generation I Kanto's Elite Four, two of Generation II's, one of Hoenn's, and one of Sinnoh's. He has also met all five in-game champions (or their anime counterparts, at least).<br /> *It is interesting to note that Ash's {{series|Diamond &amp; Pearl}} outfit looks much like {{ga|Lucas}}'s. The biggest difference between the two is the fact that Lucas wears a scarf, and that Ash retains the {{wp|baseball cap}} style for his hat, while Lucas's is a {{wp|flat cap}}.<br /> *Four of Ash's Pokémon have been introduced to moves by someone else: {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{m|Iron Tail}}, {{AP|Swellow}} and {{m|Aerial Ace}}, {{AP|Turtwig}} and {{m|Energy Ball}}, and {{AP|Staravia}} and {{m|Brave Bird}}. Of these, three are [[TM]] moves in the games.<br /> *Three of Ash's Pokémon were caught by him after first premiering in Pokémon movies: {{AP|Donphan}} (''[[Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''), {{AP|Aipom}} (''[[Spell of the Unown]]'') and {{AP|Buizel}} (''[[Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'').<br /> ** Strangely, both Donphan and Aipom are {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}} and were both used in battle against him by an opponent during the opening credits of the movies.<br /> *Altogether, if the movies are considered to be canon, Ash has seen at least twenty-seven different species of legendary Pokémon, and at least ten of them multiple times.<br /> *Seven of Ash's Pokémon decided to join him without battling him (Gligar, Chimchar, Lapras, Chikorita, Charmander, Squirtle, and Torkoal), while another five accepted a challenge against them and were subsequently captured (Turtwig, Treecko, Bulbasaur, Snorunt and Aipom). All of the others he naturally encountered and captured.<br /> <br /> ==Names==<br /> {| border=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;border: 1px solid #88a; border-collapse: collapse;&quot; cellspacing=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;2&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background: #ccf;&quot;<br /> !

His Japanese voice actress is 松本梨香 ''[[Rica Matsumoto]]'', his English voice actresses are [[Veronica Taylor]] ([[4Kids Entertainment]] dub) and [[Sarah Natochenny]] ([[Pokémon USA]] dub), his Brazilian voice actor is [[Fábio Lucindo]], his Italian voice actor is [[Davide Garbolino]], and his Spanish voice actors are [[Adolfo Moreno]] (Spain) and [[Gabriel Ramos]] (Latin America). In the first dub of [[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]] he was voiced by [[Kayzie Rogers|Jamie Peacock]]. <br /> <br /> Ash is apparently based on the main character of [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions]], {{ga|Red}}. He shares his name with the creator of the [[Pokémon]] franchise, [[Satoshi Tajiri]]. His Japanese name can be taken to mean &quot;wisdom&quot; or &quot;reason&quot; (智), and his English name has many meanings. His English last name is a pun on the original English Pokémon motto, &quot;[[Gotta Catch 'em All!]]&quot;. As for his first name, some note that &quot;Ash&quot; has the same letters found in ''S'''a'''to'''sh'''i''.<br /> <br /> {{spoilers}}<br /> <br /> ==In the anime==<br /> ===&lt;u&gt;Character&lt;/u&gt;===<br /> [[Image:Anime Ash.png|thumb|Ash Ketchum in the original series]]<br /> Ash's main goal in life, as described in the first episode, ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', is to be the world's greatest {{g|Master}}. Ash began his journey at the age of 10 as a warm-hearted and well-intentioned but stubborn and unskilled {{g|Trainer}}. He was forced to accept the irreverent {{AP|Pikachu}} from [[Professor Oak]] as his [[starter Pokémon]] because he carelessly broke his alarm clock and woke up late on the day he was set to get his first Pokémon. He was determined to achieve his goal, however, and when he showed his willingness to give up his own safety to keep Pikachu safe, he formed a strong bond of friendship with his Pokémon which would set his course for the future.<br /> <br /> However, from that point, Ash still had a lot to learn about becoming a Trainer. He [[captured Pokémon|caught]] his {{AP|Butterfree|first Pokémon}} by luck, knew nothing about {{g|battle|battling}}, and showed a reluctance to admit when he was wrong. Many of his first [[Gym]] [[badge]]s were given to him out of pity or gratitude for his assistance rather than claiming a victory in battle over the [[Gym Leader]]s. Every time he thought he was doing well, he would somehow cross paths with his childhood [[rival]], [[Gary Oak]], who always reminded Ash that he was always a step or seven behind.<br /> <br /> Ash's dedication to his goal paid off over time, and after earning his first eight badges, he competed in the [[Indigo League]], and advanced further in the rounds than Gary. After recovering from his defeat, he continued on to improve his skill, take on new challenges, and compete in more {{g|League}} competitions.<br /> <br /> Ash has changed a great deal over the course of the series, particularly in regards to his skill at {{g|training}}, but his earnestness and determination have remained. Never straying from his goal, he has remained loyal to his friends, his family, and his supporters, but most of all his Pokémon. Ash became a great Trainer by learning to find and use the inner strength of each of his Pokémon by bonding with them and learning where their hidden abilities lie, as well as resorting to unorthodox strategies when fighting particularly challenging opponents. For example, he uses his Pikachu's speed to outmaneuver larger foes and attack, and defeated [[Gary's Blastoise]] with his {{AP|Charizard}} by causing the field to overheat and have Charizard mount a close-range attack while Blastoise was blinded by the steam. He also prefers to train a Pokémon to be the best it can without making it evolve, and he is hesitant to let his Pokémon evolve to get stronger, as evidenced by his treatment of {{AP|Gligar}} in [[DP085]].<br /> <br /> [[Image:SatoshiAG.png|thumb|left|Ash in the Advanced Generation series]]<br /> Additionally, during the first season of the series, while Ash originally trained not to further himself but instead to catch more Pokémon than his rival, Gary. He later slowed his pace which allowed him to focus on the individual traits of each Pokémon. At the [[Johto]] League [[Silver Conference]], with great humility and maturity, Ash finally won a battle against his old rival, signifying a great milestone in his history. His maturity has also increased in his dealings with Pokémon, as when [[Ash's Primeape|a Mankey]] stole his {{AP|hat}} in ''[[EP025|Primeape Goes Bananas]]'', he screamed and yelled at it, even climbing trees just to get his hat back, but when [[Dawn's Ambipom|an Aipom]] did the same in ''[[AG179|Slaking Kong]]'', he stated merely that he would feel strange without a hat.<br /> <br /> In most episodes of the anime, especially those during the Johto League saga, Ash befriends someone who will influence him and cause him to strive to become a better Trainer. Although he is not a dependent individual, he is still young and has learned to make his way relying on his {{AP|friends}}, particularly the maternal skills of [[Brock]]. The honor of &quot;best friend&quot; is usually reserved for Pikachu but Ash has come to see his closest human friends in the same light over time; using the term for [[Misty]] and [[Brock]] in ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later]]'' as well as {{an|May}} and [[Max]] in ''[[AG178|Battling the Enemy Within]]''.<br /> <br /> He has traversed much of the {{g|world}} and has thus far participated in four [[Pokémon League#Championship competitions|Pokémon League regional competitions]], but he is still learning new things about Pokémon all the time.<br /> <br /> [[Image:AshAura.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Ash using Aura inside the [[Tree of Beginning]]]]<br /> Ash apparently has a close connection with [[Legendary Pokémon]], especially {{p|Ho-Oh}}, {{p|Lugia}}, and {{p|Shaymin}}. In the English dub of the [[The Power of One|second movie]], he was revealed to be &quot;The Chosen One&quot; - the one who would bring balance back to the world. Although viewed as a normal human, Ash does have some special abilities as he is said to have the same [[aura]] as [[Sir Aaron]], a legendary hero, and is theoretically able to manipulate it in much the same way. However, he has not received any training in this field, opting to continue his Pokémon journey instead. He has also been likened to an ancient [[aura]] guardian in ''[[DP056|The Keystone Pops!]]'', who also had a partner {{p|Pikachu}}. Later, in [[DP071]] and [[DP072]], Ash uses [[aura]] again to locate a lost {{p|Riolu}} and read Riolu's mind as well. However, these were one time deals, as Riolu had an unnaturally powerful aura.<br /> <br /> He has a [[Contest Pass]] for the [[Sinnoh]] region, though he has stated that the contest he got it for was the only one he intends on entering. He also has one for the Hoenn region as it was required to watch one of the contests held there. Ash also carries around a broken [[Poké Ball]], of which the other half belongs to Gary and is a symbol of their ongoing, but now friendly, rivalry, as well as [[Misty's special lure]], which she sent to him as a gift, and also half of a ribbon he received in a contest against May before she left the group to compete in Johto.<br /> &lt;br clear=&quot;left&quot;&gt;<br /> <br /> ===&lt;u&gt;Family&lt;/u&gt;===<br /> Ash lived with his mother, [[Delia Ketchum]], until he left for his Pokémon journey at the age of ten.<br /> <br /> His father is never introduced. The anime suggests that his father was once a Pokémon Trainer, but it is unclear whether he is still living. There has been much discussion in the fandom as to the identity of Ash's father, though the writers have chosen to not focus on this aspect of Ash's life. Common characters put forward by fans for the role are [[Giovanni]], [[Professor Oak]] and {{an|Silver}}. In {{g|Live!}}, Delia told Ash that Giovanni had once been her boyfriend, and that he was Ash's father. However, this has never been officially acknowledged.<br /> <br /> Ash is an only child, breaking from the tradition of several other main characters, with the exception of {{an|Dawn}} and possibly {{Tracey}}, whose siblings are often a foil or focal point in their lives.<br /> <br /> ===Pokémon===<br /> ====On hand====<br /> &lt;!--Don't touch the tables if you don't know what you're doing.

For example, while anime Ash is indifferent to romance or members of the opposite gender (or same gender, some may argue), manga Ash has a big crush on Gary's sister, [[May Oak]]. He's also prone to quickly falling in love like Brock, but to a much less extreme degree.<br /> ===Pokémon===<br /> [[Image:Satoshidengeki.PNG|thumb|right|Ash in [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]] manga.]]<br /> {|border=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;border: 1px solid #000; border-collapse: collapse;&quot; width=300px cellspacing=&quot;0&quot;<br /> |-<br /> | align=center | [[Image:025.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{AP|Pikachu}}<br /> | align=center | [[Image:022.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{AP|Fearow}}<br /> | align=center | [[Image:017.png]]&lt;br&gt;[[Ash's Pidgeot|Pidgeotto]]<br /> |-<br /> | align=center colspan=3 | [[Image:010.png]] &amp;rarr; [[Image:011.png]] &amp;rarr; [[Image:012.png]]&lt;br&gt;[[Ash's Butterfree|Caterpie &amp;rarr; Metapod &amp;rarr; Butterfree]]<br /> |-<br /> | align=center colspan=3 | [[Image:004.png]] &amp;rarr; [[Image:005.png]] &amp;rarr; [[Image:006.png]]&lt;br&gt;[[Ash's Charizard|Charmander &amp;rarr; Charmeleon &amp;rarr; Charizard]]<br /> |-<br /> | align=center | [[Image:001.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{AP|Bulbasaur}}<br /> | align=center | [[Image:007.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{AP|Squirtle}}<br /> | align=center | [[Image:043.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{p|Oddish}}<br /> |-<br /> | align=center | [[Image:015.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{p|Beedrill}}<br /> | align=center | [[Image:099.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{AP|Kingler}}<br /> | align=center | [[Image:089.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{AP|Muk}}<br /> |-<br /> | align=center | [[Image:128.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{AP|Tauros}}<br /> | align=center | [[Image:131.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{AP|Lapras}}<br /> | align=center | [[Image:143.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{AP|Snorlax}}<br /> |}<br /> <br /> ====Traded away====<br /> {|border=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;border: 1px solid #000; border-collapse: collapse;&quot; width=150px cellspacing=&quot;0&quot;<br /> |-<br /> | align=center | [[Image:056.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{p|Mankey}} (Given away for a map, which turns out to be fake)<br /> | align=center | [[Image:079.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{p|Slowpoke}} ([[Giant Pokémon|Giant]])&lt;br&gt;(Given away to [[Gary]] for [[May Oak]]'s photo)<br /> |}<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> ==In the TCG==<br /> This listing is of cards mentioning or featuring Ash or his Pokémon in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]].<br /> <br /> {| {{bluetable}} <br /> |- style=&quot;background: #DDDDFF;&quot;<br /> !Name<br /> !Type<br /> !Level<br /> !Rarity<br /> !Set<br /> !Set no.<br /> |-<br /> | {{TCG ID|7th Movie Half Deck|Ash's Torkoal|9}} || {{e|Fighting}} || - || - || {{TCG|7th Movie Half Deck}} (no English release) || 9/19<br /> |-<br /> | {{TCG ID|8th Movie Half Deck|Ash's Grovyle|1}} || {{e|Grass}} || - || - || {{TCG|8th Movie Half Deck}} (no English release) || 1/20<br /> |-<br /> | {{TCG ID|8th Movie Half Deck|Ash's Phanpy|4}} || {{e|Fighting}} || - || - || {{TCG|8th Movie Half Deck}} (no English release) || 4/20<br /> |-<br /> | {{TCG ID|8th Movie Half Deck|Ash's Swellow|7}} || {{e|Colorless}} || - || - || {{TCG|8th Movie Half Deck}} (no English release) || 7/20<br /> |-<br /> | {{TCG ID|9th Movie Half Deck|Ash's Aipom|10}} || {{e|Colorless}} || - || - || {{TCG|9th Movie Half Deck}} (no English release) || 10/19<br /> |-<br /> | {{TCG ID|&quot;ADV-P&quot; Promo|Ash's Treecko|36}} || {{e|Grass}} || - || - || {{TCG|&quot;ADV-P&quot; Promotional cards}} (no English release) || 36/&quot;ADV-P&quot;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> ==Trivia==<br /> <br /> *Hoenn and Sinnoh are the only regions wherein Ash did not catch all of the [[starter Pokémon]]. In Hoenn he has only caught Treecko, which evolved into a Grovyle and later on a Sceptile. As for Sinnoh he is only missing {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}.<br /> *In [[EP009|the ninth episode]] Ash mentioned that he had been a Pokémon trainer for 2 months. This time frame is further reinforced when Ash learns that the Pokémon League will begin in two months when he [[EP065|returns to Pallet Town]] after earning his eighth badge - he arrives at Indigo Stadium [[EP074|nine episodes later]]. If time continued at this rate, he would be at least 20 years old in the latest Japanese episode, something that's implied strongly by {{MTR}} in ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation!]]''. However, given that some episodes take place directly after each other, this time frame is clearly not consistent. <br /> * Ash has been mistaken to be the son of two women from [[Kanto]] and the [[Orange Islands]]. The first time was in ''[[EP027|Hypno's Naptime]]'' where he was mistaken for a boy named Arnold, while the second was in ''[[EP108|Pokémon Double Trouble]]'' when [[Luana]] mistook him for her son [[Travis]].<br /> *Ash has caught 49 &lt;!--Count good as of DP085: the evolution into Gliscor--&gt;different kinds of Pokémon, including evolutions and counting Larvitar, Seaking, Beedrill, Haunter, and Raticate, even though Larvitar and Haunter were not officially his, Beedrill was given away nearly immediately, and Seaking was released as part of contest rules. The original tagline for the dub was &quot;[[Gotta Catch 'em All!]]&quot;, but Ash has only caught 9.74% of the current number of Pokémon. This line was eventually dropped in 2003, when he only had 8.03% of the then total of 386.<br /> *Ash has caught or received 64 different individual Pokémon, 30 of which are his Tauros.<br /> *Ash's first choice of a starter was Squirtle. Later, it is revealed that Gary was the one who, in fact, chose Squirtle. Ash's second choice was Bulbasaur, while his third was Charmander.<br /> *So far, every time Ash becomes the champion of something, he then battles and gets defeated by {{Gary}} a few episodes later, before heading off to a new region. This has happened after his championing of the [[Orange League]] and the Hoenn {{ho|Battle Frontier}}, which were both &quot;filler seasons&quot; before the start of even-numbered generations.<br /> *In ''[[EP241|Hocus Pokémon]]'', Ash was transformed into a {{p|Pikachu}}. This transformed state is sometimes referred to as [[Ashachu]].<br /> *Ash has captured each [[generation]]'s {{type2|Grass}} [[starter Pokémon]] (Bulbasaur, Chikorita, Treecko, Turtwig).<br /> *In both the [[Timeline of events in the anime#Kanto|Kanto]] and [[Timeline of events in the anime#Johto|Johto]] story arcs, Ash managed to capture all three of the starter Pokémon for both regions. This trend was broken in the [[Advanced Generation series]], where he only captured {{AP|Treecko}}, while the other two were {{OP|May|Torchic}} and {{OP|Brock|Mudkip}}. However, it is possible that the trend will be reestablished in the [[Diamond &amp; Pearl series]] story arc, as Ash has already managed to capture both a {{AP|Turtwig}} and {{AP|Chimchar}}, two of the Sinnoh region's starter Pokémon. This is unlikely, however, as {{an|Dawn}} already has the third, {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}.<br /> **However, he did command Piplup during ''[[DP046|A-Maze-ing Race!]]'', and Chimchar during its last few minutes on Paul's team.<br /> *Ash has captured one {{type2|Flying}} Pokémon from each series region that players can encounter early in different games: {{AP|Pidgeotto}}, {{AP|Noctowl}}, {{AP|Taillow}}, and {{AP|Starly}}.<br /> *In each region (except for the Orange Islands), Ash always loses against at least one of the [[Gym Leader]]s before challenging them to a rematch.<br /> *With the exception of Koga, Ash had to either do some sort of heroic deed or re-challenge all of the Kanto Gym Leaders to earn his badge. This, however, never applied to his Earth Badge, as he never battled against Giovanni himself, instead challenging the Team Rocket trio that had constantly followed him.<br /> *So far, Ash always befriends someone shortly before the regional tournament. That person will beat Ash later on in the semifinals.<br /> *Though not as touched on anymore, a running gag in the English version of the series involved [[Delia Ketchum|his mother]] making sure that Ash changed his underwear every single day.<br /> *Ash's room, seen at the start of [[EP001|the first episode]], contains a lot of merchandise based off various Pokémon, including a bedspread with a [[Poké Ball]] pattern, a trash can with a {{p|Staryu}} on it, a big {{p|Snorlax}} [[Pokémon doll|doll]], a {{p|Poliwag}} pencil sharpener, a {{p|Clefairy}} bank, a {{p|Zubat}} mobile, a poster with {{p|Squirtle}}, {{p|Bulbasaur}} and {{p|Charmander}}, and a {{p|Voltorb}} alarm clock with a {{p|Pidgey}} inside it which he breaks in his sleep. He also has many books, a globe, a boombox, a television and a [[Bug Catcher]]'s net. Based on the slanting of the ceiling of his room, it is probably in the attic of his house.<br /> *During his adventures in Kanto, Johto and the Orange Islands, Ash pinned his badges to the inside of his jacket. From Hoenn onwards, they have been kept in some form of case. It is unknown where the badges of Ash's previous journeys are, though it is assumed that they are kept somewhere in his house. Delia placed Ash's trophy from the Orange Islands on top of the television, though this was missing when Ash looked in his living room in ''[[AG192|Home is Where the Start Is]]''. Interestingly, the scene following it showed an identical trophy placed in Professor Oak's lab.<br /> *Each time Ash successfully wins his eighth badge, all eight are stolen, though soon after returned. It is unknown if this will happen again in the [[Diamond &amp; Pearl series]].<br /> *The most badges Ash has ever gotten in the first thirty-five episodes were six badges in Kanto, which makes sense considering that Kanto was significantly shorter than any other saga (aside from the Orange Island saga and the Battle Frontier saga). In every other region thus far, he has only won two badges in the first thirty-five episodes.<br /> *The only girl Ash has even shown a confirmed [[Shipping|interest]] is named [[Giselle]] whom appeared in ''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]''.<br /> *The only {{type2|Fire}} starter Ash has not owned is {{p|Torchic}}.<br /> *Ash is the only {{ashfr|main character}} that has caught a {{shiny2}} Pokémon, which is his {{AP|Noctowl}}.<br /> *Ash has two rivals that started off with turtle-like Pokémon. Gary started with [[Gary's Blastoise|Squirtle]] and Paul started off with [[Paul's Torterra|Turtwig]].<br /> *Ash also has two female friends that started off with bird-like Pokémon. May started off with {{TP|May|Torchic}} and Dawn started off with {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}.<br /> *The characters of the anime that share Ash's voice actress, both in English and in Japanese, are usually female or Pokémon.<br /> *In the case of Ash's Fire-type Pokémon, he always somehow saves them before capturing them, either from an abusive trainer or from other Pokémon.<br /> *Because Ash began wearing his AG clothes before leaving for Hoenn and did not change into his DP clothes until after he arrived in Sinnoh, Ash wore the AG clothes during episodes from all three series.<br /> [[Image:Ash maid.jpg|200px|thumb|Ash crossdressed for a third time.]]<br /> *Ash has crossdressed once in each anime series: ''[[EP026|Pokémon Scent-sation!]]'' was the first time, in the [[original series]], ''[[AG042|Love at First Flight]]'' was the second, in the {{series|Advanced Generation}}, and ''[[DP062|Tanks for the Memories!]]'' was the third, in the {{series|Diamond &amp; Pearl}}. Each time Ash has crossdressed, he was never willing to do so and was coerced or forced into it in some fashion.<br /> **In addition to dressing as a girl, Ash has dressed up as fruit on at least two occasions. The first time, he dressed as an apple in ''[[EP107|Pokémon Food Fight!]]'' while the second he dressed as an eggplant in ''[[AG104|Claydol Big and Tall]]''. On both occasions he was used to lure a large Pokémon.<br /> **Ash has also had to dress up on numerous occasions as actual Pokémon to help out the [[characters of the day]]. He has so far been a Mr. Mime in ''[[EP064|It's Mr. Mime Time]]'', as an Octillery in ''[[EP215|Octillery the Outcast]]'' and as a Seviper in ''[[AG048|Zig Zag Zangoose!]]''.<br /> *Ash has owned four Pokémon that have also been owned by [[Gym Leaders]]. [[Falkner]] ({{AP|Pidgeot}}), [[Flannery]] ({{AP|Torkoal}}), [[Winona]] ({{AP|Swellow}}), and [[Gardenia]] ({{AP|Turtwig}}). Coincidently, all of them either have bird or turtle-like Pokémon. Other Gym Leaders have owned Pokémon that happened to be either the evolved form or pre-evolved form of one of Ash's Pokémon. [[Lt. Surge's Raichu]] ({{AP|Pikachu}}), [[Cissy]]'s {{p|Blastoise}} ({{AP|Squirtle}}), [[Falkner]]'s {{p|Hoothoot}} ({{AP|Noctowl}}), [[Bugsy]]'s {{p|Metapod}} ({{AP|Butterfree}}), and [[Crasher Wake]]'s {{p|Floatzel}} ({{AP|Buizel}}). <br /> ** A related coincidence is that three of the four female Gym Leaders listed above, own a turtle/tortoise-like Pokémon. <br /> *Ash last released a Pokémon during the original series. Since its end, he has been leaving his Pokémon at [[Professor Oak]]'s lab often, a [[EP061|habit]] he got from [[Misty]].<br /> *All of Ash's primate-based Pokémon have been owned by two Trainers - [[Paul]] previously owned {{AP|Chimchar}}, {{ka|Anthony}} currently owns {{AP|Primeape}}, and Dawn currently owns Aipom which later evolved into {{TP|Dawn|Ambipom}}.<br /> *All of Ash's Pokémon that have evolved twice ({{AP|Charizard}}, {{AP|Sceptile}} and {{AP|Butterfree}}) also have cross-generation counterparts on {{an|May}}'s team ({{TP|May|Blaziken}}, {{TP|May|Venusaur}}, and {{TP|May|Beautifly}}, respectively).<br /> *Ash has the most Pokémon that know moves that [[Anime move errors|they can't learn in the games]]: [[Ash's Butterfree|Caterpie]] with {{m|Counter}}, {{AP|Charizard}} with {{m|Tackle}}, {{AP|Bulbasaur}} with {{m|Tickle}} (debatable), {{m|Dig}}, and {{m|Whirlwind}}, {{AP|Raticate}} with {{m|Hi Jump Kick}}, {{AP|Staravia}} with {{m|Gust}}, and {{AP|Larvitar}} with {{m|Harden}}.<br /> *Although Ash is the main character of the Pokémon anime, he has never been featured on an English TCG card.<br /> *Ash has three turtle-like Pokémon: Squirtle, Torkoal and Grotle. Each corresponds to one of the three elemental types of the starter Pokémon, though Torkoal isn't a starter itself.<br /> *Despite having two [[Soothe Bell]]s, Ash has yet to capture any Pokémon that evolve through happiness, while both Brock and Dawn have Pokémon on their team that undergo happiness evolutions at some stage ({{TP|Dawn|Buneary}} and {{TP|Brock|Happiny}}). <br /> *Ash has owned at least one Pokémon of each type except {{t|Dark}}, {{t|Dragon}}, {{t|Steel}}, and {{t|Psychic}}.<br /> *Discounting [[Koga]], who was a [[Gym Leader]] at the time of Ash's battle against him, Ash has so far battled three [[Elite Four]] members, namely [[Lorelei|Prima]], {{EF|Drake}} and [[Agatha]], losing to all three. He has met all four of Generation I Kanto's Elite Four, two of Generation II's, one of Hoenn's, and one of Sinnoh's. He has also met all five in-game champions (or their anime counterparts, at least).<br /> *It is interesting to note that Ash's {{series|Diamond &amp; Pearl}} outfit looks much like {{ga|Lucas}}'s. The biggest difference between the two is the fact that Lucas wears a scarf, and that Ash retains the {{wp|baseball cap}} style for his hat, while Lucas's is a {{wp|flat cap}}.<br /> *Four of Ash's Pokémon have been introduced to moves by someone else: {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{m|Iron Tail}}, {{AP|Swellow}} and {{m|Aerial Ace}}, {{AP|Turtwig}} and {{m|Energy Ball}}, and {{AP|Staravia}} and {{m|Brave Bird}}. Of these, three are [[TM]] moves in the games.<br /> *Three of Ash's Pokémon were caught by him after first premiering in Pokémon movies: {{AP|Donphan}} (''[[Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''), {{AP|Aipom}} (''[[Spell of the Unown]]'') and {{AP|Buizel}} (''[[Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'').<br /> ** Strangely, both Donphan and Aipom are {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}} and were both used in battle against him by an opponent during the opening credits of the movies.<br /> *Altogether, if the movies are considered to be canon, Ash has seen at least twenty-seven different species of legendary Pokémon, and at least ten of them multiple times.<br /> *Seven of Ash's Pokémon decided to join him without battling him (Gligar, Chimchar, Lapras, Chikorita, Charmander, Squirtle, and Torkoal), while another five accepted a challenge against them and were subsequently captured (Turtwig, Treecko, Bulbasaur, Snorunt and Aipom). All of the others he naturally encountered and captured.<br /> <br /> ==Names==<br /> {| border=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;border: 1px solid #88a; border-collapse: collapse;&quot; cellspacing=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;2&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background: #ccf;&quot;<br /> !

She hands out the {{Badge|Cobble}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat her. She specializes in {{type2|Fighting}} [[Pokémon]]. She is voiced by 遠藤綾 ''[[Aya Endō]]'' in Japanese and by [[Rachael Lillis]] in English.<br /> <br /> ==In the anime==<br /> [[Image:Maylene.JPG|left|thumb|210px|Maylene from the {{pkmn|anime}}]]<br /> Maylene made her first appearance in ''[[DP066|Lost Leader Strategy!]]'' After being defeated by [[Paul]], Maylene had lost confidence in herself as a Gym Leader, a position she's only held for six months. When {{Ash}} challenged her, she declined, much to the annoyance of her {{TP|Maylene|Lucario}}. <br /> <br /> Discovering {{an|Dawn}} has similar issues herself (following ''[[DP049|Dawn's Early Night]]'' and ''[[DP061|Team Shocker!]]'''s contest defeats), Maylene agrees to have a gym battle with her in ''[[DP067|Crossing the Battle Line!]]''. She managed to defeat Dawn after a hard-fought battle. <br /> <br /> She was challenged by Ash next in ''[[DP068|A Triple Fighting Chance!]]'', an even harder-fought battle which resulted in a tie. With the decision now hers, Maylene considered Ash to have battled well enough that she awarded him the {{Badge|Cobble}}.<br /> <br /> Maylene also appeared in ''[[DP069|Enter Galactic!]]''.<br /> <br /> ===Pokémon===<br /> {|border=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;border: 1px solid #000; border-collapse: collapse;&quot; width=300px cellspacing=&quot;0&quot;<br /> |-<br /> | align=center | [[Image:307.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{p|Meditite}}<br /> | align=center | [[Image:067.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{p|Machoke}}<br /> | align=center | [[Image:448.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{TP|Maylene|Lucario}}<br /> |}<br /> <br /> ==In the games==<br /> Maylene uses {{type2|Fighting}} Pokémon in her battles. Trainers who defeat her receive the {{Badge|Cobble}}, {{TM|60|Drain Punch}} and are able to use {{m|Fly}} outside of battle. Maylene is considered a cute little girl, but adults in the town respect her for her power. Maylene's father gambles at the [[Veilstone Game Corner]]. Maylene apparently doesn't know her own strength, as she's totally unsure of how she got to be Gym Leader, and seems rather confused by the whole thing.<br /> ===Pokémon===<br /> ===={{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}====<br /> {{Party|<br /> color={{fighting color}} |<br /> trainerimage=SpriteSumomo.png |<br /> prize=???? |<br /> trainerclass=Leader |<br /> trainername=Maylene |<br /> games={{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}} |<br /> place=Veilstone Gym |<br /> generation=4 |<br /> numberinparty=3 |<br /> <br /> num1=307 |<br /> poke1=Meditite |<br /> ability1={{a|Pure Power}} |<br /> gender1=♀ |<br /> level1=27 |<br /> move1poke1=Confusion |<br /> move2poke1=Meditate |<br /> move3poke1=Detect |<br /> move4poke1=Drain Punch |<br /> <br /> num2=067 |<br /> poke2=Machoke |<br /> ability2={{a|Guts}} |<br /> gender2=♂ |<br /> level2=27 |<br /> move1poke2=Brick Break |<br /> move2poke2=Leer |<br /> move3poke2=Foresight |<br /> move4poke2=Rock Tomb |<br /> <br /> num3=448 |<br /> poke3=Lucario |<br /> ability3={{a|Steadfast}} |<br /> gender3=♂ |<br /> item3={{b|Sitrus}} |<br /> level3=30 |<br /> move1poke3=Drain Punch |<br /> move2poke3=Force Palm |<br /> move3poke3=Metal Claw |<br /> move4poke3=Bone Rush |<br /> }}<br /> <br /> ===={{game|Platinum}}====<br /> {{Party|<br /> color={{fighting color}} |<br /> trainerimage=MaylenePlatinum.gif |<br /> prize=???? |<br /> trainerclass=Leader |<br /> trainername=Maylene |<br /> games={{v2|Platinum}} |<br /> place=Veilstone Gym |<br /> generation=4 |<br /> numberinparty=3 |<br /> <br /> num1=307 |<br /> poke1=Meditite |<br /> ability1={{a|Pure Power}} |<br /> gender1=♀ |<br /> level1=28 |<br /> move1poke1=Fake Out |<br /> move2poke1=Rock Tomb |<br /> move3poke1=Drain Punch |<br /> move4poke1=Confusion |<br /> <br /> num2=067 |<br /> poke2=Machoke |<br /> ability2=Unknown |<br /> gender2=♂ |<br /> level2=29 |<br /> move1poke2=Strength |<br /> move2poke2=Karate Chop |<br /> move3poke2=Rock Tomb |<br /> move4poke2=Focus Energy |<br /> <br /> num3=448 |<br /> poke3=Lucario |<br /> ability3=Unknown |<br /> gender3=♂ |<br /> level3=32 |<br /> move1poke3=Drain Punch |<br /> move2poke3=Force Palm |<br /> move3poke3=Metal Claw |<br /> move4poke3=Bone Rush |<br /> }}<br /> =====Rematch=====<br /> {{Party|<br /> color={{fighting color}} |<br /> trainerimage=MaylenePlatinum.gif |<br /> prize=???? |<br /> trainerclass=Leader |<br /> trainername=Maylene |<br /> games={{v2|Platinum}} |<br /> place=Match Place |<br /> generation=4 |<br /> numberinparty=5 |<br /> <br /> num1=237 |<br /> poke1=Hitmontop |<br /> gender1=♂ |<br /> level1=62 |<br /> ability1={{a|Intimidate}} |<br /> move1poke1=Triple Kick |<br /> move2poke1=Aerial Ace |<br /> move3poke1=Quick Attack |<br /> move4poke1=Fake Out |<br /> <br /> num2=286 |<br /> poke2=Breloom |<br /> gender2=♀ |<br /> level2=62 |<br /> move1poke2=Stone Edge |<br /> move2poke2=Spore |<br /> move3poke2=Mach Punch |<br /> move4poke2=Seed Bomb |<br /> <br /> num3=308 |<br /> poke3=Medicham |<br /> gender3=♀ |<br /> level3=63 |<br /> ability3={{a|Pure Power}} |<br /> move1poke3=Fire Punch |<br /> move2poke3=Ice Punch |<br /> move3poke3=ThunderPunch |<br /> move4poke3=Hi Jump Kick |<br /> <br /> num4=448 |<br /> poke4=Lucario |<br /> gender4=♂ |<br /> level4=66 |<br /> ability4=Unknown |<br /> move1poke4=Drain Punch |<br /> move2poke4=Close Combat |<br /> move3poke4=ExtremeSpeed |<br /> move4poke4=Bone Rush |<br /> <br /> num5=068 |<br /> poke5=Machamp |<br /> gender5=♂ |<br /> level5=64 |<br /> move1poke5=Cross Chop |<br /> move2poke5=Rock Climb |<br /> move3poke5=Earthquake |<br /> move4poke5=Stone Edge |<br /> }}<br /> <br /> ===Quotes===<br /> Before battle&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''&quot;Hello. I'm pleased to meet you. I'm Maylene, and I'm the Gym Leader. I don't really know what it means to be strong, or how I got to be the Gym Leader. But I will do the best I can as the Gym Leader. I take battling very seriously. Whenever you're ready!&quot;''<br /> <br /> After sending out last Pokémon&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''&quot;Oh! But this isn't the end, my friend!&quot;''<br /> <br /> During battle&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''&quot;I'm in a bit of a bind, aren't I?&quot;''<br /> <br /> When defeated&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''&quot;I shall admit defeat... You are much too strong.&quot;''<br /> <br /> After being defeated&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''&quot;...OK. You win. That was a tough loss. I learned a lot from it. Please, accept this Gym Badge.&quot;''<br /> <br /> ''&quot;Gee, I'm hungry... Oh, sorry, it's nothing. I didn't say anything. &lt;name&gt;, I can't explain what it means to be strong. I don't know how much effort goes into being strong... But being with Pokémon lets us keep making the effort, doesn't it?&quot;''<br /> <br /> ==In the manga==<br /> ===[[Pokémon Special]]===<br /> Maylene is seen training with her two Pokémon. She almost gets hit by Pearl's Monferno's Ember (when the trio was testing Berlitz's newly-earned Zoom Lens) while she was jogging around the city. She challenges Berlitz to a match, adding that Berlitz must use Monferno against her.<br /> <br /> ====Pokémon====<br /> Maylene owns these Pokémon:<br /> {|border=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;border: 1px solid #000; border-collapse: collapse;&quot; width=200px cellspacing=&quot;0&quot;<br /> |-<br /> | align=center | [[Image:447.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{p|Riolu}}<br /> | align=center | [[Image:307.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{p|Meditite}}<br /> |}<br /> <br /> ===[[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!|Pokémon DP]]===<br /> <br /> Maylene has a brief cameo in [[DPA07|chapter 7]] in volume 2, later in the volume she is seen complaining about only appearing in one panel.<br /> <br /> ====Pokémon====<br /> {|border=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;border: 1px solid #000; border-collapse: collapse;&quot; width=200px cellspacing=&quot;0&quot;<br /> |-<br /> | align=center | [[Image:067.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{p|Machoke}}<br /> | align=center | [[Image:448.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{p|Lucario}}<br /> |}<br /> <br /> ==Trivia==<br /> * Maylene is the only Sinnoh Gym Leader in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} to not appear outside her gym at least once in the game.

Had {{Ash}} fought [[Fantina]] previous to Maylene, he would have inadvertently gone out of order compared to the D&amp;P line-up, but in order for the Platinum line-up. Ash battled the three shifted Gym Leaders in the order designated by D&amp;P, as Platinum was not released until after Ash fought [[Crasher Wake]], but before Fantina.<br /> <br /> <br /> {| border=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;border: 1px solid #88a; border-collapse: collapse;&quot; cellspacing=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;2&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background: #ccf;&quot;<br /> !

She is apparently not from [[Pokémon nation|the country]] the games are set in, and often peppers her speech with phrases of French.<br /> <br /> Her dress shares many elements as the design of the first [[Pokémon]] on her [[party]], {{p|Drifblim}}: it has a yellow &quot;X&quot; over a puffed out skirt of striped purple fabric.<br /> <br /> ==In the anime==<br /> [[Image:FantinaDP093.jpg|thumb|left|Fantina in the anime]]<br /> Despite the group having traveled through [[Hearthome City]] twice, once in ''[[DP049|Dawn's Early Night]]'' and a second time in [[DP086]], and {{an|Dawn}} having competed in a contest there during the both episodes, Fantina had not appeared in the anime. However, she did leave a note saying that she was going on a journey for a while, and to not look for her.<br /> <br /> She finally appeared in [[DP093]] where she battled {{Ash}} and [[Zoey]]. She beat them both easily. It was also revealed that she battled [[Alan]] twice.

When two women were making rude comments about rookie contestants, she sent out her Drifblim to carry them out and throw them into a garbage can. Then, when Diamond, Pearl and Berlitz came back to Hearthome City for the Gym Challenge, they discovered that she was the Gym Leader.<br /> <br /> ====Pokémon====<br /> She has these Pokémon:<br /> {|border=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;border: 1px solid #000; border-collapse: collapse;&quot; width=300px cellspacing=&quot;0&quot;<br /> |-<br /> | align=center | [[Image:429.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{p|Mismagius}}<br /> | align=center | [[Image:426.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{p|Drifblim}}<br /> | align=center | [[Image:355.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{p|Duskull}}<br /> |}<br /> <br /> ===[[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!|Pokémon DP]]===<br /> <br /> She makes a brief cameo in [[DPA07|chapter 7]] handing a badge to Hareta.

Only in the rematch does her expanded team have a Drifblim in it.<br /> *Despite the fact that she gives the [[TM]] for {{m|Shadow Claw}}, only one of her Pokémon ({{p|Gengar}}) actually knows it and can learn it.<br /> *In Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, Fantina is the fifth gym leader; but as of Pokémon Platinum, Fantina could be challenged the first time the player arrives at Hearthome, therefore making her the third gym leader. Had {{Ash}} fought Fantina previous to [[Maylene]], he would have inadvertently gone out of order compared to the D&amp;P line-up, but in order for the Platinum line-up. Ash battled the three shifted Gym Leaders in the order designated by D&amp;P, as Platinum was not released until after Ash fought [[Crasher Wake]], but before Fantina.''<br /> ===Names===<br /> {| border=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;border: 1px solid #88a; border-collapse: collapse;&quot; cellspacing=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;2&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background: #ccf;&quot;<br /> !

He hands out the [[Badge#Fen Badge|Fen Badge]] to [[Pokémon trainer|trainers]] who defeat him. He specializes in {{type2|Water}} [[Pokémon]].<br /> <br /> ==In the anime==<br /> [[Image:WakeAnime.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Crasher Wake in the anime]]<br /> Crasher Wake debuted in ''[[DP082|Cream of the Croagunk Crop!]]'' and was one of the judges at the Croagunk Festival. <br /> <br /> In [[DP083]] Ash defeated Crasher Wake and earned the Fen Badge.<br /> <br /> He is voiced by 稲田徹 ''Tetsu Inada'' in Japanese.<br /> &lt;br clear=&quot;left&quot;&gt;<br /> ===Pokémon===<br /> This listing is of Crasher Wake's known Pokémon in the {{pkmn|anime}}:<br /> {|border=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;border: 1px solid #000; border-collapse: collapse;&quot; width=300px cellspacing=&quot;0&quot;<br /> |-<br /> | align=center | [[Image:130.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{p|Gyarados}}<br /> | align=center | [[Image:195.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{p|Quagsire}}<br /> | align=center | [[Image:419.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{TP|Crasher Wake|Floatzel}}<br /> |}<br /> <br /> ==In the games==<br /> Crasher Wake uses {{type2|Water}} Pokémon in his battles. Trainers receive the [[Badge#Fen Badge|Fen Badge]], {{TM|55|Brine}} and are able to use {{m|Defog}} outside of battle. Wake has a jovial, enthusiastic, and bombastic personality. Wake's strategy is nothing more than choosing moves that will make his battles more fun, and encourages everyone not to take battles too seriously, and to remember they're supposed to be fun. Crasher Wake uses the prize money he gets from competitive Pokémon battles to help the unfortunate. Crasher Wake has his Pokémon use {{m|Defog}} to keep the weather of Pastoria City clear.<br /> <br /> He later appears in the [[Battle Zone]], talking to the player's [[rival]], [[Pearl (game)|Pearl]]. The rival also mentions that Wake was born overseas. However, he speaks clearly, without any foreign accent. This may mean he is simply from another region, but this has little evidence.<br /> <br /> ===Pokémon===<br /> ===={{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}====<br /> {{Party|<br /> color={{water color}} |<br /> trainerimage=SpriteMakishi.png |<br /> prize=???? |<br /> trainerclass=Leader |<br /> trainername=Crasher Wake |<br /> games={{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}} |<br /> place=Pastoria Gym |<br /> generation=4 |<br /> numberinparty=3 |<br /> <br /> num1=130 |<br /> poke1=Gyarados |<br /> ability1={{a|Intimidate}} |<br /> gender1=♂ |<br /> level1=27 |<br /> move1poke1=Brine |<br /> move2poke1=Dragon Rage |<br /> move3poke1=Bite |<br /> move4poke1=Swagger |<br /> <br /> num2=195 |<br /> poke2=Quagsire |<br /> ability2={{a|Damp}} |<br /> gender2=♂ |<br /> level2=27 |<br /> move1poke2=Brine |<br /> move2poke2=Mud Bomb |<br /> move3poke2=Mud Sport |<br /> move4poke2=Tail Whip |<br /> <br /> num3=419 |<br /> poke3=Floatzel |<br /> ability3={{a|Swift Swim}} |<br /> item3={{b|Sitrus}} |<br /> gender3=♂ |<br /> level3=30 |<br /> move1poke3=Brine |<br /> move2poke3=Ice Fang |<br /> move3poke3=Pursuit |<br /> move4poke3=Swift |<br /> }}<br /> <br /> ===={{game|Platinum}}====<br /> {{Party|<br /> color={{water color}} |<br /> trainerimage=CrasherWakePlatinum.gif |<br /> prize=???? |<br /> trainerclass=Leader |<br /> trainername=Crasher Wake |<br /> games={{v2|Platinum}} |<br /> place=Pastoria Gym |<br /> generation=4 |<br /> numberinparty=3 |<br /> <br /> num1=130 |<br /> poke1=Gyarados |<br /> ability1={{a|Intimidate}} |<br /> gender1=♂ |<br /> level1=33 |<br /> move1poke1=Brine |<br /> move2poke1=Waterfall |<br /> move3poke1=Bite |<br /> move4poke1=Twister |<br /> <br /> num2=195 |<br /> poke2=Quagsire |<br /> ability2=Unknown |<br /> gender2=♂ |<br /> level2=34 |<br /> move1poke2=Rock Tomb |<br /> move2poke2=Water Pulse |<br /> move3poke2=Mud Shot |<br /> move4poke2=Yawn |<br /> <br /> num3=419 |<br /> poke3=Floatzel |<br /> ability3={{a|Swift Swim}} |<br /> item3={{b|Sitrus}} |<br /> gender3=♂ |<br /> level3=37 |<br /> move1poke3=Brine |<br /> move2poke3=Ice Fang |<br /> move3poke3=Crunch |<br /> move4poke3=Aqua Jet |<br /> }}<br /> <br /> =====Rematch=====<br /> {{Party|<br /> color={{water color}} |<br /> trainerimage=CrasherWakePlatinum.gif |<br /> prize=???? |<br /> trainerclass=Leader |<br /> trainername=Crasher Wake |<br /> games={{v2|Platinum}} |<br /> place=Match Place |<br /> generation=4 |<br /> numberinparty=5 |<br /> <br /> num1=319 |<br /> poke1=Sharpedo |<br /> gender1=♂ |<br /> ability1={{a|Rough Skin}} |<br /> level1=61 |<br /> move1poke1=Aqua Jet |<br /> move2poke1=Night Slash |<br /> move3poke1=Endure |<br /> move4poke1=Slash |<br /> <br /> num2=419 |<br /> poke2=Floatzel |<br /> ability2={{a|Swift Swim}} |<br /> gender2=♂ |<br /> level2=63 |<br /> move1poke2=Brine |<br /> move2poke2=Ice Fang |<br /> move3poke2=Crunch |<br /> move4poke2=Aqua Jet |<br /> <br /> num3=195 |<br /> poke3=Quagsire |<br /> gender3=♂ |<br /> level3=61 |<br /> move1poke3=Earthquake |<br /> move2poke3=Stone Edge |<br /> move3poke3=Yawn |<br /> move4poke3=Surf |<br /> <br /> num4=130 |<br /> poke4=Gyarados |<br /> gender4=♂ |<br /> level4=62 |<br /> ability4={{a|Intimidate}} |<br /> move1poke4=Aqua Tail |<br /> move2poke4=Avalanche |<br /> move3poke4=Bite |<br /> move4poke4=Giga Impact |<br /> <br /> num5=272 |<br /> poke5=Ludicolo |<br /> item5={{b|Sitrus}} |<br /> gender5=♂ |<br /> level5=65 |<br /> move1poke5=Surf |<br /> move2poke5=Ice Beam |<br /> move3poke5=Energy Ball |<br /> move4poke5=Focus Blast |<br /> }}<br /> <br /> ===Quotes===<br /> Before battle&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''&quot;Welcome!

Besides, in D/P, Roark doesn't even OWN a Rampardos (yes, he owns Cranidos, but that's not the same thing.), which is closer to the example I'm trying to get at. Besides, it still counts anyways. Don't you get it? He's doing it in Gen IV order (which includes Diamond, Pearl, and, yes, even Platinum), and it does, technically, count as out-of-order, regardless of whether Platinum came out before or after. [[User:Weedle Mchairybug|Weedle Mchairybug]] 17:31, 26 October 2008 (UTC)<br /> Wrong. There is no &quot;Gen IV order&quot;. Not anymore, anyway. Gen IV now has two orders: D&amp;P order and Platinum order. And D&amp;P order is the one that counts, because that's been &quot;Gen IV order&quot; up until Platinum came out and decided to be different. [[User:Cassius335|- Cassius335]] 17:40, 26 October 2008 (UTC)<br /> :Well, Gen IV order or not, it still counts as being Out-Of-Order, in my book (if it isn't followed in the same order in the anime, regardless if it's the games fault or not, It's still out of order.

Only in the rematch does her expanded team have a Drifblim in it.<br /> *Despite the fact that she gives the [[TM]] for {{m|Shadow Claw}}, only one of her Pokémon ({{p|Gengar}}) actually knows it and can learn it.<br /> *In Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, Fantina is the fifth gym leader; but as of Pokémon Platinum, Fantina could be challenged the first time the player arrives at Hearthome, therefore making her the third gym leader.<br /> ===Names===<br /> {| border=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;border: 1px solid #88a; border-collapse: collapse;&quot; cellspacing=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;2&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background: #ccf;&quot;<br /> !

She considers herself to be a Contest Expert and refuses to let the hero challenge her until they deliver the [[Old Charm]] to the [[Celestic Town]] elder at the request of the elder's granddaughter, [[Cynthia]]. Fantina speaks a mix of French and broken English and is an immigrant from another country.

She also studied Pokémon and eventually attained the title of Gym Leader.<br /> <br /> Fantina has a [[Hyper Potion]] she can use during the Gym battle.<br /> <br /> Fantina can occasionally be competed against in {{pkmn|Super Contest}}s, in which she uses her {{p|Drifblim}}, nicknamed '''Loony''' (Japanese: '''ばるん''' ''Balloon'').<br /> <br /> ===Pokémon===<br /> ==Battle==<br /> ===[[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Pokémon Diamond and Pearl]]===<br /> {{Party|<br /> color={{ghost color}} |<br /> trainerimage=SpriteMerissa.png |<br /> prize=????

Only in the rematch does her expanded team have a Drifblim in it.<br /> *Despite the fact that she gives the [[TM]] for {{m|Shadow Claw}}, only one of her Pokémon ({{p|Gengar}}) actually knows it and can learn it.<br /> *In Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, Fantina is the fifth gym leader; but as of Pokémon Platinum, Fantina could be challenged the first time the player arrives at Hearthome, therefore making her the third gym leader.<br /> ===Names===<br /> {| border=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;border: 1px solid #88a; border-collapse: collapse;&quot; cellspacing=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;2&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background: #ccf;&quot;<br /> !

Anything longer and it creates unnecessary usage of horizontial scrolling. Do you have any better ideas for the table on [[May (anime)]] that you changed back? And don't suggest keeping it as is, since a 640px table always looks worse than a 600px one. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 01:36, 18 November 2007 (UTC)<br /> <br /> Horizontal Scrolling? How big is your monitor? My laptop has plenty of room for 640px with spare. And huge boxes for tiny sprites looks better how exactly?

She hands out the [[Relic Badge]] to [[Pokémon trainer|trainers]] who defeat her. She specializes in {{type2|Ghost}} [[Pokémon]]. She is apparently not from [[Pokémon nation|the country]] the games are set in, and often peppers her speech with phrases of French.<br /> <br /> Her dress shares many elements as the design of the first [[Pokémon]] on her [[party]], {{p|Drifblim}}: it has a yellow &quot;X&quot; over a puffed out skirt of striped purple fabric.<br /> <br /> ==In the anime==<br /> [[Image:FantinaDP093.jpg|thumb|left|Fantina in the anime]]<br /> Despite the group having traveled through [[Hearthome City]] twice, once in ''[[DP049|Dawn's Early Night]]'' and a second time in [[DP086]], and {{an|Dawn}} having competed in a contest there during the both episodes, Fantina had not appeared in the anime. However, she did leave a note saying that she was going on a journey for a while, and to not look for her.<br /> <br /> She finally appeared in [[DP093]] where she battled {{Ash}} and [[Zoey]]. She beat them both easily. It was also revealed that she battled [[Alan]] twice. It was only after his {{p|Nosepass}} evolved that he was able to defeat her.<br /> <br /> Ash prepared to have a rematch with her in [[DP096]] and will challenge her again in [[DP102]].<br /> &lt;br clear=&quot;left&quot;&gt;<br /> ===Pokémon===<br /> This listing is of Fantina's known Pokémon in the {{pkmn|anime}}:<br /> {|border=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;border: 1px solid #000; border-collapse: collapse;&quot; width=300px cellspacing=&quot;0&quot;<br /> | align=center | [[Image:094.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{p|Gengar}}<br /> | align=center | [[Image:200.png]]&amp;rarr;[[Image:429.png]] {{p|Misdreavus}} &amp;rarr; {{p|Mismagius}}<br /> |-<br /> | align=center colspan=3| [[Image:DPEgg.png]]&amp;rarr;[[Image:425.png]]&amp;rarr;[[Image:426.png]]&lt;br&gt;[[Pokémon egg|Egg]] &amp;rarr; {{p|Drifloon}} &amp;rarr; {{p|Drifblim}}<br /> |}<br /> <br /> ==In the games==<br /> Fantina uses {{type2|Ghost}} Pokémon in her battles. For defeating her, trainers receive the [[Relic Badge]], {{TM|65|Shadow Claw}} and are able to use {{m|Surf}} outside of battle. She considers herself to be a Contest Expert and refuses to let the hero challenge her until they deliver the [[Old Charm]] to the [[Celestic Town]] elder at the request of the elder's granddaughter, [[Cynthia]]. Fantina speaks a mix of French and broken English and is an immigrant from another country. Upon arriving in Sinnoh, she decided to become a performer, so she dresses up in fancy outfits for Pokémon Contests. She also studied Pokémon and eventually attained the title of Gym Leader.<br /> <br /> Fantina has a [[Hyper Potion]] she can use during the Gym battle.<br /> <br /> Fantina can occasionally be competed against in {{pkmn|Super Contest}}s, in which she uses her {{p|Drifblim}}, nicknamed '''Loony''' (Japanese: '''ばるん''' ''Balloon'').<br /> <br /> ===Pokémon===<br /> ==Battle==<br /> ===[[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Pokémon Diamond and Pearl]]===<br /> {{Party|<br /> color={{ghost color}} |<br /> trainerimage=SpriteMerissa.png |<br /> prize=????

When two women were making rude comments about rookie contestants, she sent out her Drifblim to carry them out and throw them into a garbage can. Then, when Diamond, Pearl and Berlitz came back to Hearthome City for the Gym Challenge, they discovered that she was the Gym Leader.<br /> <br /> ====Pokémon====<br /> She has these Pokémon:<br /> {|border=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;border: 1px solid #000; border-collapse: collapse;&quot; width=300px cellspacing=&quot;0&quot;<br /> |-<br /> | align=center | [[Image:429.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{p|Mismagius}}<br /> | align=center | [[Image:426.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{p|Drifblim}}<br /> | align=center | [[Image:355.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{p|Duskull}}<br /> |}<br /> <br /> ===[[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!|Pokémon DP]]===<br /> <br /> She makes a brief cameo in [[DPA07|chapter 7]] handing a badge to Hareta.

Only in the rematch does her expanded team have a Drifblim in it.<br /> *Despite the fact that she gives the [[TM]] for {{m|Shadow Claw}}, only one of her Pokémon ({{p|Gengar}}) actually knows it and can learn it.<br /> *In Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, Fantina is the fifth gym leader; but as of Pokémon Platinum, Fantina could be challenged the first time the player arrives at Hearthome, therefore making her the third gym leader.<br /> ===Names===<br /> {| border=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;border: 1px solid #88a; border-collapse: collapse;&quot; cellspacing=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;2&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background: #ccf;&quot;<br /> !

She hands out the {{Badge|Cobble}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat her. She specializes in {{type2|Fighting}} [[Pokémon]]. She is voiced by 遠藤綾 ''[[Aya Endō]]'' in Japanese and by [[Rachael Lillis]] in English.<br /> <br /> ==In the anime==<br /> [[Image:Maylene.JPG|left|thumb|210px|Maylene from the {{pkmn|anime}}]]<br /> Maylene made her first appearance in ''[[DP066|Lost Leader Strategy!]]'' After being defeated by [[Paul]], Maylene had lost confidence in herself as a Gym Leader, a position she's only held for six months. When {{Ash}} challenged her, she declined, much to the annoyance of her {{TP|Maylene|Lucario}}. <br /> <br /> Discovering {{an|Dawn}} has similar issues herself (following ''[[DP049|Dawn's Early Night]]'' and ''[[DP061|Team Shocker!]]'''s contest defeats), Maylene agrees to have a gym battle with her in ''[[DP067|Crossing the Battle Line!]]''. She managed to defeat Dawn after a hard-fought battle. <br /> <br /> She was challenged by Ash next in ''[[DP068|A Triple Fighting Chance!]]'', an even harder-fought battle which resulted in a tie. With the decision now hers, Maylene considered Ash to have battled well enough that she awarded him the {{Badge|Cobble}}.<br /> <br /> Maylene also appeared in ''[[DP069|Enter Galactic!]]''.<br /> <br /> ===Pokémon===<br /> {|border=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;border: 1px solid #000; border-collapse: collapse;&quot; width=300px cellspacing=&quot;0&quot;<br /> |-<br /> | align=center | [[Image:307.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{p|Meditite}}<br /> | align=center | [[Image:067.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{p|Machoke}}<br /> | align=center | [[Image:448.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{TP|Maylene|Lucario}}<br /> |}<br /> <br /> ==In the games==<br /> Maylene uses {{type2|Fighting}} Pokémon in her battles. Trainers who defeat her receive the {{Badge|Cobble}}, {{TM|60|Drain Punch}} and are able to use {{m|Fly}} outside of battle. Maylene is considered a cute little girl, but adults in the town respect her for her power. Maylene's father gambles at the [[Veilstone Game Corner]]. Maylene apparently doesn't know her own strength, as she's totally unsure of how she got to be Gym Leader, and seems rather confused by the whole thing.<br /> ===Pokémon===<br /> ===={{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}====<br /> {{Party|<br /> color={{fighting color}} |<br /> trainerimage=SpriteSumomo.png |<br /> prize=???? |<br /> trainerclass=Leader |<br /> trainername=Maylene |<br /> games={{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}} |<br /> place=Veilstone Gym |<br /> generation=4 |<br /> numberinparty=3 |<br /> <br /> num1=307 |<br /> poke1=Meditite |<br /> ability1={{a|Pure Power}} |<br /> gender1=♀ |<br /> level1=27 |<br /> move1poke1=Confusion |<br /> move2poke1=Meditate |<br /> move3poke1=Detect |<br /> move4poke1=Drain Punch |<br /> <br /> num2=067 |<br /> poke2=Machoke |<br /> ability2={{a|Guts}} |<br /> gender2=♂ |<br /> level2=27 |<br /> move1poke2=Brick Break |<br /> move2poke2=Leer |<br /> move3poke2=Foresight |<br /> move4poke2=Rock Tomb |<br /> <br /> num3=448 |<br /> poke3=Lucario |<br /> ability3={{a|Steadfast}} |<br /> gender3=♂ |<br /> item3={{b|Sitrus}} |<br /> level3=30 |<br /> move1poke3=Drain Punch |<br /> move2poke3=Force Palm |<br /> move3poke3=Metal Claw |<br /> move4poke3=Bone Rush |<br /> }}<br /> <br /> ===={{game|Platinum}}====<br /> {{Party|<br /> color={{fighting color}} |<br /> trainerimage=MaylenePlatinum.gif |<br /> prize=???? |<br /> trainerclass=Leader |<br /> trainername=Maylene |<br /> games={{v2|Platinum}} |<br /> place=Veilstone Gym |<br /> generation=4 |<br /> numberinparty=3 |<br /> <br /> num1=307 |<br /> poke1=Meditite |<br /> ability1={{a|Pure Power}} |<br /> gender1=♀ |<br /> level1=28 |<br /> move1poke1=Fake Out |<br /> move2poke1=Rock Tomb |<br /> move3poke1=Drain Punch |<br /> move4poke1=Confusion |<br /> <br /> num2=067 |<br /> poke2=Machoke |<br /> ability2=Unknown |<br /> gender2=♂ |<br /> level2=29 |<br /> move1poke2=Strength |<br /> move2poke2=Karate Chop |<br /> move3poke2=Rock Tomb |<br /> move4poke2=Focus Energy |<br /> <br /> num3=448 |<br /> poke3=Lucario |<br /> ability3=Unknown |<br /> gender3=♂ |<br /> level3=32 |<br /> move1poke3=Drain Punch |<br /> move2poke3=Force Palm |<br /> move3poke3=Metal Claw |<br /> move4poke3=Bone Rush |<br /> }}<br /> =====Rematch=====<br /> {{Party|<br /> color={{fighting color}} |<br /> trainerimage=MaylenePlatinum.gif |<br /> prize=???? |<br /> trainerclass=Leader |<br /> trainername=Maylene |<br /> games={{v2|Platinum}} |<br /> place=Match Place |<br /> generation=4 |<br /> numberinparty=5 |<br /> <br /> num1=237 |<br /> poke1=Hitmontop |<br /> gender1=♂ |<br /> level1=62 |<br /> ability1={{a|Intimidate}} |<br /> move1poke1=Triple Kick |<br /> move2poke1=Aerial Ace |<br /> move3poke1=Quick Attack |<br /> move4poke1=Fake Out |<br /> <br /> num2=286 |<br /> poke2=Breloom |<br /> gender2=♀ |<br /> level2=62 |<br /> move1poke2=Stone Edge |<br /> move2poke2=Spore |<br /> move3poke2=Mach Punch |<br /> move4poke2=Seed Bomb |<br /> <br /> num3=308 |<br /> poke3=Medicham |<br /> gender3=♀ |<br /> level3=63 |<br /> ability3={{a|Pure Power}} |<br /> move1poke3=Fire Punch |<br /> move2poke3=Ice Punch |<br /> move3poke3=ThunderPunch |<br /> move4poke3=Hi Jump Kick |<br /> <br /> num4=448 |<br /> poke4=Lucario |<br /> gender4=♂ |<br /> level4=66 |<br /> ability4=Unknown |<br /> move1poke4=Drain Punch |<br /> move2poke4=Close Combat |<br /> move3poke4=ExtremeSpeed |<br /> move4poke4=Bone Rush |<br /> <br /> num5=068 |<br /> poke5=Machamp |<br /> gender5=♂ |<br /> level5=64 |<br /> move1poke5=Cross Chop |<br /> move2poke5=Rock Climb |<br /> move3poke5=Earthquake |<br /> move4poke5=Stone Edge |<br /> }}<br /> <br /> ===Quotes===<br /> Before battle&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''&quot;Hello.

He hands out the [[Badge#Fen Badge|Fen Badge]] to [[Pokémon trainer|trainers]] who defeat him. He specializes in {{type2|Water}} [[Pokémon]].<br /> <br /> ==In the anime==<br /> [[Image:WakeAnime.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Crasher Wake in the anime]]<br /> Crasher Wake debuted in ''[[DP082|Cream of the Croagunk Crop!]]'' and was one of the judges at the Croagunk Festival. <br /> <br /> In [[DP083]] Ash defeated Crasher Wake and earned the Fen Badge.<br /> <br /> He is voiced by 稲田徹 ''Tetsu Inada'' in Japanese.<br /> &lt;br clear=&quot;left&quot;&gt;<br /> ===Pokémon===<br /> This listing is of Crasher Wake's known Pokémon in the {{pkmn|anime}}:<br /> {|border=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;border: 1px solid #000; border-collapse: collapse;&quot; width=300px cellspacing=&quot;0&quot;<br /> |-<br /> | align=center | [[Image:130.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{p|Gyarados}}<br /> | align=center | [[Image:195.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{p|Quagsire}}<br /> | align=center | [[Image:419.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{TP|Crasher Wake|Floatzel}}<br /> |}<br /> <br /> ==In the games==<br /> Crasher Wake uses {{type2|Water}} Pokémon in his battles. Trainers receive the [[Badge#Fen Badge|Fen Badge]], {{TM|55|Brine}} and are able to use {{m|Defog}} outside of battle. Wake has a jovial, enthusiastic, and bombastic personality. Wake's strategy is nothing more than choosing moves that will make his battles more fun, and encourages everyone not to take battles too seriously, and to remember they're supposed to be fun. Crasher Wake uses the prize money he gets from competitive Pokémon battles to help the unfortunate. Crasher Wake has his Pokémon use {{m|Defog}} to keep the weather of Pastoria City clear.<br /> <br /> He later appears in the [[Battle Zone]], talking to the player's [[rival]], [[Pearl (game)|Pearl]]. The rival also mentions that Wake was born overseas. However, he speaks clearly, without any foreign accent. This may mean he is simply from another region, but this has little evidence.<br /> <br /> ===Pokémon===<br /> ===={{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}====<br /> {{Party|<br /> color={{water color}} |<br /> trainerimage=SpriteMakishi.png |<br /> prize=???? |<br /> trainerclass=Leader |<br /> trainername=Crasher Wake |<br /> games={{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}} |<br /> place=Pastoria Gym |<br /> generation=4 |<br /> numberinparty=3 |<br /> <br /> num1=130 |<br /> poke1=Gyarados |<br /> ability1={{a|Intimidate}} |<br /> gender1=♂ |<br /> level1=27 |<br /> move1poke1=Brine |<br /> move2poke1=Dragon Rage |<br /> move3poke1=Bite |<br /> move4poke1=Swagger |<br /> <br /> num2=195 |<br /> poke2=Quagsire |<br /> ability2={{a|Damp}} |<br /> gender2=♂ |<br /> level2=27 |<br /> move1poke2=Brine |<br /> move2poke2=Mud Bomb |<br /> move3poke2=Mud Sport |<br /> move4poke2=Tail Whip |<br /> <br /> num3=419 |<br /> poke3=Floatzel |<br /> ability3={{a|Swift Swim}} |<br /> item3={{b|Sitrus}} |<br /> gender3=♂ |<br /> level3=30 |<br /> move1poke3=Brine |<br /> move2poke3=Ice Fang |<br /> move3poke3=Pursuit |<br /> move4poke3=Swift |<br /> }}<br /> <br /> ===={{game|Platinum}}====<br /> {{Party|<br /> color={{water color}} |<br /> trainerimage=CrasherWakePlatinum.gif |<br /> prize=???? |<br /> trainerclass=Leader |<br /> trainername=Crasher Wake |<br /> games={{v2|Platinum}} |<br /> place=Pastoria Gym |<br /> generation=4 |<br /> numberinparty=3 |<br /> <br /> num1=130 |<br /> poke1=Gyarados |<br /> ability1={{a|Intimidate}} |<br /> gender1=♂ |<br /> level1=33 |<br /> move1poke1=Brine |<br /> move2poke1=Waterfall |<br /> move3poke1=Bite |<br /> move4poke1=Twister |<br /> <br /> num2=195 |<br /> poke2=Quagsire |<br /> ability2=Unknown |<br /> gender2=♂ |<br /> level2=34 |<br /> move1poke2=Rock Tomb |<br /> move2poke2=Water Pulse |<br /> move3poke2=Mud Shot |<br /> move4poke2=Yawn |<br /> <br /> num3=419 |<br /> poke3=Floatzel |<br /> ability3={{a|Swift Swim}} |<br /> item3={{b|Sitrus}} |<br /> gender3=♂ |<br /> level3=37 |<br /> move1poke3=Brine |<br /> move2poke3=Ice Fang |<br /> move3poke3=Crunch |<br /> move4poke3=Aqua Jet |<br /> }}<br /> <br /> =====Rematch=====<br /> {{Party|<br /> color={{water color}} |<br /> trainerimage=CrasherWakePlatinum.gif |<br /> prize=???? |<br /> trainerclass=Leader |<br /> trainername=Crasher Wake |<br /> games={{v2|Platinum}} |<br /> place=Match Place |<br /> generation=4 |<br /> numberinparty=5 |<br /> <br /> num1=319 |<br /> poke1=Sharpedo |<br /> gender1=♂ |<br /> ability1={{a|Rough Skin}} |<br /> level1=61 |<br /> move1poke1=Aqua Jet |<br /> move2poke1=Night Slash |<br /> move3poke1=Endure |<br /> move4poke1=Slash |<br /> <br /> num2=419 |<br /> poke2=Floatzel |<br /> ability2={{a|Swift Swim}} |<br /> gender2=♂ |<br /> level2=63 |<br /> move1poke2=Brine |<br /> move2poke2=Ice Fang |<br /> move3poke2=Crunch |<br /> move4poke2=Aqua Jet |<br /> <br /> num3=195 |<br /> poke3=Quagsire |<br /> gender3=♂ |<br /> level3=61 |<br /> move1poke3=Earthquake |<br /> move2poke3=Stone Edge |<br /> move3poke3=Yawn |<br /> move4poke3=Surf |<br /> <br /> num4=130 |<br /> poke4=Gyarados |<br /> gender4=♂ |<br /> level4=62 |<br /> ability4={{a|Intimidate}} |<br /> move1poke4=Aqua Tail |<br /> move2poke4=Avalanche |<br /> move3poke4=Bite |<br /> move4poke4=Giga Impact |<br /> <br /> num5=272 |<br /> poke5=Ludicolo |<br /> item5={{b|Sitrus}} |<br /> gender5=♂ |<br /> level5=65 |<br /> move1poke5=Surf |<br /> move2poke5=Ice Beam |<br /> move3poke5=Energy Ball |<br /> move4poke5=Focus Blast |<br /> }}<br /> <br /> ===Quotes===<br /> Before battle&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''&quot;Welcome!

[[User:Cassius335|- Cassius335]] 17:26, 26 October 2008 (UTC)<br /> :::::::It deals with the D/P games, though, so that still counts for something. Besides, in D/P, Roark doesn't even OWN a Rampardos (yes, he owns Cranidos, but that's not the same thing.), which is closer to the example I'm trying to get at. Besides, it still counts anyways. Don't you get it? He's doing it in Gen IV order (which includes Diamond, Pearl, and, yes, even Platinum), and it does, technically, count as out-of-order, regardless of whether Platinum came out before or after. [[User:Weedle Mchairybug|Weedle Mchairybug]] 17:31, 26 October 2008 (UTC)<br /> Wrong. There is no &quot;Gen IV order&quot;. Not anymore, anyway. Gen IV now has two orders: D&amp;P order and Platinum order. And D&amp;P order is the one that counts, because that's been &quot;Gen IV order&quot; up until Platinum came out and decided to be different. [[User:Cassius335|- Cassius335]] 17:40, 26 October 2008 (UTC)<br /> :Well, Gen IV order or not, it still counts as being Out-Of-Order, in my book (if it isn't followed in the same order in the anime, regardless if it's the games fault or not, It's still out of order.

She hands out the {{Badge|Cobble}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat her. She specializes in {{type2|Fighting}} [[Pokémon]]. She is voiced by 遠藤綾 ''[[Aya Endō]]'' in Japanese and by [[Rachael Lillis]] in English.<br /> <br /> ==In the anime==<br /> [[Image:Maylene.JPG|left|thumb|210px|Maylene from the {{pkmn|anime}}]]<br /> Maylene made her first appearance in ''[[DP066|Lost Leader Strategy!]]'' After being defeated by [[Paul]], Maylene had lost confidence in herself as a Gym Leader, a position she's only held for six months. When {{Ash}} challenged her, she declined, much to the annoyance of her {{TP|Maylene|Lucario}}. <br /> <br /> Discovering {{an|Dawn}} has similar issues herself (following ''[[DP049|Dawn's Early Night]]'' and ''[[DP061|Team Shocker!]]'''s contest defeats), Maylene agrees to have a gym battle with her in ''[[DP067|Crossing the Battle Line!]]''. She managed to defeat Dawn after a hard-fought battle. <br /> <br /> She was challenged by Ash next in ''[[DP068|A Triple Fighting Chance!]]'', an even harder-fought battle which resulted in a tie. With the decision now hers, Maylene considered Ash to have battled well enough that she awarded him the {{Badge|Cobble}}.<br /> <br /> Maylene also appeared in ''[[DP069|Enter Galactic!]]''.<br /> <br /> ===Pokémon===<br /> {|border=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;border: 1px solid #000; border-collapse: collapse;&quot; width=300px cellspacing=&quot;0&quot;<br /> |-<br /> | align=center | [[Image:307.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{p|Meditite}}<br /> | align=center | [[Image:067.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{p|Machoke}}<br /> | align=center | [[Image:448.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{TP|Maylene|Lucario}}<br /> |}<br /> <br /> ==In the games==<br /> Maylene uses {{type2|Fighting}} Pokémon in her battles.

Maylene is considered a cute little girl, but adults in the town respect her for her power. Maylene's father gambles at the [[Veilstone Game Corner]]. Maylene apparently doesn't know her own strength, as she's totally unsure of how she got to be Gym Leader, and seems rather confused by the whole thing.<br /> ===Pokémon===<br /> ===={{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}====<br /> {{Party|<br /> color={{fighting color}} |<br /> trainerimage=SpriteSumomo.png |<br /> prize=???? |<br /> trainerclass=Leader |<br /> trainername=Maylene |<br /> games={{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}} |<br /> place=Veilstone Gym |<br /> generation=4 |<br /> numberinparty=3 |<br /> <br /> num1=307 |<br /> poke1=Meditite |<br /> ability1={{a|Pure Power}} |<br /> gender1=♀ |<br /> level1=27 |<br /> move1poke1=Confusion |<br /> move2poke1=Meditate |<br /> move3poke1=Detect |<br /> move4poke1=Drain Punch |<br /> <br /> num2=067 |<br /> poke2=Machoke |<br /> ability2={{a|Guts}} |<br /> gender2=♂ |<br /> level2=27 |<br /> move1poke2=Brick Break |<br /> move2poke2=Leer |<br /> move3poke2=Foresight |<br /> move4poke2=Rock Tomb |<br /> <br /> num3=448 |<br /> poke3=Lucario |<br /> ability3={{a|Steadfast}} |<br /> gender3=♂ |<br /> item3={{b|Sitrus}} |<br /> level3=30 |<br /> move1poke3=Drain Punch |<br /> move2poke3=Force Palm |<br /> move3poke3=Metal Claw |<br /> move4poke3=Bone Rush |<br /> }}<br /> <br /> ===={{game|Platinum}}====<br /> {{Party|<br /> color={{fighting color}} |<br /> trainerimage=MaylenePlatinum.gif |<br /> prize=???? |<br /> trainerclass=Leader |<br /> trainername=Maylene |<br /> games={{v2|Platinum}} |<br /> place=Veilstone Gym |<br /> generation=4 |<br /> numberinparty=3 |<br /> <br /> num1=307 |<br /> poke1=Meditite |<br /> ability1={{a|Pure Power}} |<br /> gender1=♀ |<br /> level1=28 |<br /> move1poke1=Fake Out |<br /> move2poke1=Rock Tomb |<br /> move3poke1=Drain Punch |<br /> move4poke1=Confusion |<br /> <br /> num2=067 |<br /> poke2=Machoke |<br /> ability2=Unknown |<br /> gender2=♂ |<br /> level2=29 |<br /> move1poke2=Strength |<br /> move2poke2=Karate Chop |<br /> move3poke2=Rock Tomb |<br /> move4poke2=Focus Energy |<br /> <br /> num3=448 |<br /> poke3=Lucario |<br /> ability3=Unknown |<br /> gender3=♂ |<br /> level3=32 |<br /> move1poke3=Drain Punch |<br /> move2poke3=Force Palm |<br /> move3poke3=Metal Claw |<br /> move4poke3=Bone Rush |<br /> }}<br /> =====Rematch=====<br /> {{Party|<br /> color={{fighting color}} |<br /> trainerimage=MaylenePlatinum.gif |<br /> prize=???? |<br /> trainerclass=Leader |<br /> trainername=Maylene |<br /> games={{v2|Platinum}} |<br /> place=Match Place |<br /> generation=4 |<br /> numberinparty=5 |<br /> <br /> num1=237 |<br /> poke1=Hitmontop |<br /> gender1=♂ |<br /> level1=62 |<br /> ability1={{a|Intimidate}} |<br /> move1poke1=Triple Kick |<br /> move2poke1=Aerial Ace |<br /> move3poke1=Quick Attack |<br /> move4poke1=Fake Out |<br /> <br /> num2=286 |<br /> poke2=Breloom |<br /> gender2=♀ |<br /> level2=62 |<br /> move1poke2=Stone Edge |<br /> move2poke2=Spore |<br /> move3poke2=Mach Punch |<br /> move4poke2=Seed Bomb |<br /> <br /> num3=308 |<br /> poke3=Medicham |<br /> gender3=♀ |<br /> level3=63 |<br /> ability3={{a|Pure Power}} |<br /> move1poke3=Fire Punch |<br /> move2poke3=Ice Punch |<br /> move3poke3=ThunderPunch |<br /> move4poke3=Hi Jump Kick |<br /> <br /> num4=448 |<br /> poke4=Lucario |<br /> gender4=♂ |<br /> level4=66 |<br /> ability4=Unknown |<br /> move1poke4=Drain Punch |<br /> move2poke4=Close Combat |<br /> move3poke4=ExtremeSpeed |<br /> move4poke4=Bone Rush |<br /> <br /> num5=068 |<br /> poke5=Machamp |<br /> gender5=♂ |<br /> level5=64 |<br /> move1poke5=Cross Chop |<br /> move2poke5=Rock Climb |<br /> move3poke5=Earthquake |<br /> move4poke5=Stone Edge |<br /> }}<br /> <br /> ===Quotes===<br /> Before battle&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''&quot;Hello.

He hands out the [[Badge#Fen Badge|Fen Badge]] to [[Pokémon trainer|trainers]] who defeat him.

Trainers receive the [[Badge#Fen Badge|Fen Badge]], {{TM|55|Brine}} and are able to use {{m|Defog}} outside of battle. Wake has a jovial, enthusiastic, and bombastic personality. Wake's strategy is nothing more than choosing moves that will make his battles more fun, and encourages everyone not to take battles too seriously, and to remember they're supposed to be fun. Crasher Wake uses the prize money he gets from competitive Pokémon battles to help the unfortunate. Crasher Wake has his Pokémon use {{m|Defog}} to keep the weather of Pastoria City clear.<br /> <br /> He later appears in the [[Battle Zone]], talking to the player's [[rival]], [[Pearl (game)|Pearl]]. The rival also mentions that Wake was born overseas. However, he speaks clearly, without any foreign accent.

[[User:Cassius335|- Cassius335]] 16:05, 26 October 2008 (UTC)<br /> :Games is in the general sense. Out of all the Pokémon games to have been released, Crasher Wake is the fourth gym leader to be battled out of order.

Besides, in D/P, Roark doesn't even OWN a Rampardos (yes, he owns Cranidos, but that's not the same thing.), which is closer to the example I'm trying to get at. Besides, it still counts anyways. Don't you get it? He's doing it in Gen IV order (which includes Diamond, Pearl, and, yes, even Platinum), and it does, technically, count as out-of-order, regardless of whether Platinum came out before or after. [[User:Weedle Mchairybug|Weedle Mchairybug]] 17:31, 26 October 2008 (UTC)<br /> Wrong. There is no &quot;Gen IV order&quot;. Not anymore, anyway. Gen IV now has two orders: D&amp;P order and Platinum order. And D&amp;P order is the one that counts, because that's been &quot;Gen IV order&quot; up until Platinum came out and decided to be different. [[User:Cassius335|- Cassius335]] 17:40, 26 October 2008 (UTC)<br /> :Well, Gen IV order or not, it still counts as being Out-Of-Order, in my book (if it isn't followed in the same order in the anime, regardless if it's the games fault or not, It's still out of order. Live with it.) [[User:Weedle Mchairybug|Weedle Mchairybug]] 17:42, 26 October 2008 (UTC)<br /> :: Weedle, your book is written in crayon. Ash is doing the gyms in D&amp;P order, the correct order. Thus, he is not out-of-order.

<p>Cassius335: /* Misty&#039;s */</p> <hr /> <div>{{ship}}<br /> [[Image:Pokeship.jpg|Right|250px|thumb|Ash and Misty in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]] [[manga]].]]<br /> <br /> '''PokéShipping''' is one of the many names given to the {{Ash}}/[[Misty]] coupling supported by many fans of the [[Pokémon anime]]. In the early years of the fandom, PokéShipping was the most popular ship in existence and it still maintains a strong following to this day.<br /> <br /> ==Evidence==<br /> ===Misty's===<br /> Most other shippers agree that Misty's love for Ash is undeniable. In fact, out of all the major and secondary characters, she is the only one who has made her romantic intentions apparent. This evidence became more prevalent throughout the Orange Season.<br /> <br /> * ''[[EP003|Ash Catches a Pokémon]]''<br /> : Ash, willing to continue his journey alone, is followed by Misty. Upon noticing her pursuing him in [[Viridian Forest]], Ash puts her on the spot and asks her, &quot;Why are you still following me?&quot;. Misty sweatdrops and unconvincingly stutters back, &quot;M...My [[bike]]! I'm holding you responsible for my bike!&quot; in an insincere manner.<br /> <br /> : Why she is following him is made apparent near the end of the episode where she says, &quot;I've never known anyone like him. He really does love Pokémon.&quot; She does so in body language befitting that of an infatuated girl. Also, in her statement, it is pretty much implied that she has some sort of interest in knowing Ash, who, at this point, is someone she barely knows.<br /> <br /> *''[[EP007|The Water Flowers of Cerulean City]]''<br /> : When Misty tells [[Daisy (anime)|Daisy]] that she's back home because of Ash, Daisy thinks that Ash and Misty are a couple, which cause Misty to blush.<br /> <br /> *''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]''<br /> :In this episode, when Ash and Brock fall in love with [[Giselle]], Misty gets mad. Some say that she has jealous because of Ash, but others say that was because of Brock.<br /> <br /> *''[[EP028|Pokémon Fashion Flash]]''<br /> :In this episode, when they see the ad for the salon, Misty grabs Ash's arm. Also when Misty goes missing, Ash expresses extreme concern.<br /> <br /> *''[[EP023|The Tower of Terror]]''<br /> :In the episode, when Misty thought that Ash had died, she is driven to almost tears, but is interrupted by Ash who comes back to life and wipes her nose and blushes.<br /> <br /> * ''[[EP083|Poké Ball Peril]]''<br /> : Near the end of the episode, with Brock having left Ash and Misty to travel alone, [[James]] says &quot;I think we may have captured a pair of romantic creatures in our little cage,&quot; after which [[Jessie]] swoons and {{MTR}} blurts out, &quot;They're lovebirds!&quot; The idea of Ash and Misty as a couple becomes a sub-theme throughout the subsequent Orange League Season, culminating into events in the 2nd movie. Ash and Misty deny it all.<br /> <br /> * ''[[EP093|Navel Maneuvers]]''<br /> : [[Danny]], the [[Navel Island]] [[Gym Leader]], quickly picks up on the nature of Ash and Misty's relationship during one of their arguments and says, &quot;I can see the two of you are pretty close.&quot; After Misty asks what he meant by that, he replied, &quot;What's that saying? 'You always hurt the one you love'...&quot;<br /> <br /> * ''[[EP100|Wherefore Art Thou, Pokémon]]''<br /> : After the Nidoran kiss and evolve, [[Tracey Sketchit|Tracey]] comments about whether the battle or the kiss made them evolve. The idea of kissing embarrasses Misty and provokes Ash to ask the question, &quot;Do people change when they get kissed?&quot; after which Misty answers to him, &quot;Guess we'll have to find out ourselves...&quot; Earlier in the episode, Tracey compared the interaction between the Nidoran's trainers to the relationship between Misty and Ash (although both vehemently deny it).<br /> <br /> *''[[EP101|Get Along, Little Pokémon!]]''<br /> : Misty yells, &quot;BE CAREFUL ASH!&quot; before he goes to save the Magnemite. Misty has done this on many occasions.<br /> <br /> * ''[[EP103|Misty Meets Her Match]]''<br /> : This entire episode alone serves as conclusive evidence that Misty not only likes Ash but possibly has developed a case of young love for him. [[Rudy]], the [[Trovita Island]] Gym Leader, has a case of &quot;love at first sight&quot; with Misty after she saves his sister Mahri. After several advances from Rudy, Misty agrees to what is essentially an impromptu date with Rudy, leaving Ash and Tracey to themselves. <br /> <br /> : According to accounts of the original Japanese version, during the dance after the date, Rudy not only asked Misty to stay on the island, but to marry him. What is significant here is that Misty was actually considering his proposal, evidenced by the fact that she didn't refuse him outright. Throughout Ash's gym battle with Rudy, Misty is clearly torn between deciding which boy meant more to her, finally rooting for Ash in the end as {{AP|Squirtle}} is hit by a {{m|Thunderbolt}} from Rudy's {{p|Starmie}}. Rudy, in shock mutters, &quot;She wants him.&quot;<br /> <br /> :The fact that Ash started losing during this battle is probably because of his stress of Rudy liking Misty, but is then inspired by Misty's advice.<br /> <br /> *''[[EP110|The Stun Spore Detour]]''<br /> :Every time that Tracey and Ash need attention Misty comes to Ash first or expresses more concern for Ash.<br /> <br /> * ''[[The Power of One]]''<br /> : P2K, otherwise known as 'The Power of One', or 'Revelation Lugia' is the conclusion to everything related to Misty's love for Ash in the Orange Season. In this movie, Misty gets competition in the form of Melody, the Festival Maiden of the Legend Ceremony. Melody, upon greeting our heroes, immediately comes up to Ash and plants a kiss on his cheek, provoking a glare of jealousy from Misty. Also, after Melody's performance at the festival party, she quickly kneels in front of Ash and grabs hold of his arm, provoking Misty to gasp and growl again in subdued jealousy.<br /> <br /> : Also, upon being called Ash's boyfriend, Misty blushes uncontrollably.<br /> <br /> : Near the end, Misty openly admits to Melody that Ash is &quot;her burden&quot; and goes off to rescue him in Melody's place, stating that he'll never be alone as he'll always have her, which Melody respects (due to the constant debating between her and Misty of Misty liking Ash throughout the movie).<br /> <br /> *''[[EP124|Snubbull Snobbery]]''<br /> :Misty finds a star map, and Ash says, &quot;I know where the stars are, Misty.&quot; Misty giggles and blushes after that remark.<br /> <br /> *''[[EP170|A Better Pill To Swallow]]''<br /> :When [[Old Man Shuckle]] gives Ash his medicine and the medicine explodes in Ash's stomach, Misty asks Old Man Shuckle what he gave Ash. He reveals that it was Pokémon medicine, and Misty gets really angry. She calms once Ash wakes up and says, &quot;You know what? My stomach-ache is all gone!&quot;<br /> <br /> * ''[[EP185|The Light Fantastic]]''<br /> : When Misty introduces Ash to [[Nurse Joy]], Joy quickly exclaims, &quot;What a little cutie!&quot; referring to {{AP|Pikachu}} on Ash's head. But Misty and [[Brock]] mistakenly think she's referring to Ash. Brock is left completely shocked, but Misty not only gets shocked, but quickly develops the same jealous expression she displayed when Melody flirted with Ash.<br /> <br /> * &quot;[[EP188|Spring Fever]]&quot;<br /> :On this and many other occasions in the series, when Ash falls into Team Rocket's trap Misty (of camera) runs toward Ash and passionately grabs his arm to get him back to safety.<br /> <br /> * ''[[EP198|The Heartbreak of Brock]]''<br /> : After [[Temacu]] expresses her thoughts about marriage to Brock, Misty says to Ash, &quot;Someday, we'll be married too.&quot; And Ash nods his head without realizing what she had just said. She could have easily meant that they would be married someday to different people, not necessarily to each other. However, that's a dub edit. In the original, Misty said &quot;Looks like she fell for Takeshi (Brock) in first sight.&quot;<br /> <br /> : While giving a pep talk to Brock about pursuing a possible relationship with Temacu, Misty says, &quot;Take it from me, it's a lot easier to like someone who likes you than to like someone who doesn't.&quot; Brock then asks her &quot;How do you know?&quot;, after which Misty gasps, blushes, then coyly replies &quot;Well that's...what I've heard...&quot; She is not referring to Brock (much to the dismay of [[Gymshipping|GymShippers]]) since she is openly encouraging Brock to pursue Temacu.<br /> <br /> * ''[[EP267|Love, Pokémon Style]]''<br /> : When [[Macey|Macy]] first invites Ash out to lunch, Misty quickly cuts in between the two and comments that Ash is &quot;booked&quot;. Later in the same scene, Macy question's Misty's right to interrupt in Ash's personal affairs when she's not his girlfriend. Misty looks quite unimpressed as Macy continues to flirt with Ash.<br /> <br /> * ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later]]'' <br /> ''Editor's note: This episode is currently under debate on the merits of some scenes. Therefore this episode's entry should be considered incomplete.''<br /> : The departure of Misty from the group is a very emotional affair. After all is said and done, Misty says to herself, &quot;Well, Ash Ketchum, finally, I know how you feel about me&quot;.<br /> :In this episode, Misty gives Ash her handkerchief. Apparently, in Japan that means that a girl cares for a boy. &lt;!-- Needs a reference. --&gt;<br /> :Misty got her own good-bye song (which completely left Brock out). Ash was pretty clueless about how upset Misty was when they found out she had to leave, but when they actually parted, he did say that she’s his best friend, and cried when they left. <br /> <br /> * ''[[H011|A Date With Delcatty]]''<br /> : In the original version, Misty initially rejects Georgio because there is &quot;someone else&quot;. Taking into account of Misty's evident feelings in the series prior to this episode, it is inferred that Misty was making a reference to Ash.<br /> <br /> * ''Pokémon Live''<br /> : In this show, Misty yearns to tell her feelings for Ash, but is too afraid to tell him.<br /> <br /> ====Various songs====<br /> * ''[[Misty's Song]]'' is a song from the 2BA MASTER Soundtrack in which Misty sings that she loves Ash. She also says that she wants confess her love to Ash, this one of the strongest pieces of evidence for PokeShipping, though the canonicity of the track is unclear (there's nothing to specifically contradict it, but the song has never been used in the anime). It was written by Ken Cummings and directed by John Loeffler for the 2BA MASTER Soundtrack.<br /> **Ash does not have a song for Misty.<br /> * On the ''[[Pokémon Christmas Bash]]'' CD there are two songs that show strong evidence of her feelings towards Ash. <br /> **The first song on the CD entitled ''Pokémon Christmas Bash'' has the three main characters along with Team Rocket singing about what they want for Christmas. In Misty's stanza she sings &quot; Hey Santa if you're really listenin' My wishlist has only one thing, Just gimme one dance with Ash, At the Pokémon Christmas bash!&quot;. <br /> **Another song on the CD called ''[[Under the Mistletoe]]'' has Misty singing about how she wants Ash to know her feeling for him and about how she wants to meet Ash under the mistletoe. On the other hand, Ash is singing about how he hopes to not to be caught under the mistletoe, although at first he doesn't move away- many fans claim this is shipping from Ash's side. Near the song's end, after leaving Ash feeling paranoid about the mistletoe, Misty has got Ash under the mistletoe. Ash realizes this, freaks out, and runs off to eat more cookies while leaving Misty wondering what his problem is.<br /> * [[Toi et Moi]], the Japanese ending song of [[The Power of One]], references PokéShipping several times, all from Misty's perspective; in particular, the reference to saving the one she loves from drowning (as in the movie.)<br /> <br /> ===Ash's===<br /> Even PokéShippers will admit that Ash has not shown any overt proof of liking Misty. This reality often provokes shippers opposed to PokéShipping (especially PalletShippers) to question Ash's sexual orientation as well. However, what Pokéshippers believe is that Ash is capable of liking Misty, and furthermore, that Ash is undeniably heterosexual. This list combines evidence of both those facts.<br /> <br /> * ''[[EP020|Ghost of Maiden's Peak]]'': <br /> : Our hero does a double take when Misty appears with her hair down and dressed in a formal kimono. Upon seeing her, the camera switches to his perspective, the bubbly background usually associated with passionate moments is used, romantic harp strings are played, and Misty's surprised facial expression clearly shows she is being looked at with interest. Also, the entire theme of the episode was romance-oriented, so it's only logical to assume this scene between Ash and Misty is as well.<br /> <br /> * ''[[EP052|Princess vs. Princess]]''<br /> : Ash, thinking Misty is entering the Princess Festival Contest to take a picture with the movie star host, gets a little jealous, groaning with his arms crossed, &quot;You must really want that picture with Fiorello...&quot;. Surprisingly, Misty reassures him she's only doing it for the doll set. Ash, whether he's aware of it or not, feels threatened by the presence of another male in Misty's life.<br /> <br /> * ''[[EP100|Navel Maneuvers]]''<br /> : Climbing Navel Island's central mountain, Misty tells Danny the gym leader to be extra careful. Seeing how much concern Misty is giving to Danny, Ash with the same jealous expression yells, &quot;What's she so worried about him for?!&quot;. He's distracted so much by Misty's little crush on Danny that he loses his concentration and falls down the mountain a bit. Much like his behavior in &quot;Princess vs. Princess&quot;, another male getting Misty's attention seems to bother him.<br /> <br /> *''[[EP101|Get Along Little Pokemon]]''<br /> :As the rain storm approaches and as Misty is unable to walk, Ash grabs Misty by the hand, arm and the rest of her body and leads her caressingly towards the cave. Afterwords, he stares at her with care in his eyes.<br /> <br /> *''[[EP132|For Crying Out Loud]]''<br /> :When Misty, Pikachu, and [[Wilhemina]]'s Marill are lost on an island and the others go to find them, Ash mutters, &quot;Don't worry, we'll find Misty,&quot; not even mentioning Marill or his beloved Pikachu.<br /> <br /> * ''[[Jirachi: Wish Maker]]''<br /> : On the last day of the comet's showing, Max is disappointed that he will have to part with Jirachi. Ash sits down with him by the river and reassures him that Jirachi will always will be in his heart. Ash tells him, &quot;I had a really good friend, and I miss her every day.&quot; Many people would think this would be Misty. However this is in the dub only and can be argued. In the original, he only implies that he had many friends he needed to say goodbye to, not particularly a ''her''. In the Spanish language version, {{Ash}} says, &quot;Sabes, yo extraño mucho a mi mejor amiga.&quot; It means ''I really miss my best friend''. He could very well be referring to Misty.<br /> <br /> * ''[[DP034|Buizel Your Way Out of This]]''<br /> : In this episode when Ash and the others are fishing Ash uses the special lure Misty made for him, and when Dawn asked if she could use it Ash refused causing them both to argue, but while they were distracted a {{AP|Buizel}} came and took their lure's causing Ash to get panicked and with all his determination he planned to get the lure back, once it was returned he seemed very happy and relieved.<br /> <br /> ==Other hints==<br /> For those already convinced about PokéShipping, there do exist events which suggest inconclusively, something along the lines of romance. But the difference between hints and proofs are that proofs are essentially ironclad and undebatable in contemporary debate, whereas hints are quite debatable, and are open to interpretation. The following is a listing of some that are considered to be debatable hints, all of which vary in strength and worth.<br /> <br /> * ''[[EP005|Showdown at Pewter City]]''<br /> : Misty is surprisingly eager to start a Pokémon-sharing relationship with Ash in this episode and gets very upset when Ash refuses. Later, while Ash is charging up Pikachu's electric sacs, Misty again offers help to Ash and gets snubbed. She then grumbles and says, &quot;What do I care...&quot; and runs off. Misty somewhat admits by her behavior and dialogue that she's really interested in getting to know him better.<br /> <br /> * ''[[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]''<br /> : Misty, at the beginning of this episode, continually keeps mentioning how &quot;romantic&quot; the surroundings are. She continues to do this not only in this episode, but subsequent episodes as well.<br /> <br /> * ''[[EP007|The Waterflowers of Cerulean City]]''<br /> : At the outskirts of [[Cerulean City]], Misty attempts to dissuade Ash from going into the city by tempting him to go to [[Vermilion City]]. She does so by mentioning the &quot;neat Pokémon, the yachts pulling into the harbor, and a spot way up on a hill where you can sit and watch a romantic sunset&quot;. The mentioning of a romantic scene subtly suggests what she might have intended for all along, especially with how many times she's talked about romantic things in previous episodes.<br /> <br /> * ''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown!]]''<br /> : After Nurse Joy breaks up an argument between the two of them, she comments that they say when two people fight, they really care about each other; although Ash and Misty instantly reject the idea, they are both blushing slightly when they turn away from the other.<br /> <br /> [[Image:AshMisty.PNG|thumb|right|Ash's ghost lifting Misty up in the air in ''[[EP023|The Tower of Terror]]'']]<br /> * ''[[EP023|The Tower of Terror]]''<br /> : When Ash enters the tower alone to try and catch a Ghost Pokémon, and is subsequently briefly separated from his body, Misty is the first one of her and Brock to express concern about how long Ash and Pikachu are taking inside. When Ash hovers beside her in his ghost form and lifts her in the air, Misty is the only one who can hear him despite Brock standing only a foot or so away from her, potentially hinting at a closer bond between the two. Also, before Ash and Pikachu return to their bodies, Misty is visibly near to tears as she pleads for Ash to wake up, and blushes immensely when he wakes up and greets her.<br /> <br /> * ''[[EP026|Pokémon Scent-sation!]]''<br /> : Misty, unaware that Ash is disguised as a girl among the crowd and using the same girlish demeanor she used in &quot;Ash Catches A Pokémon&quot;, dreamily admits to the group, &quot;I wish Ash would've heard that story...&quot; She openly is expressing a desire for Ash's presence.<br /> <br /> : Also, during Ash's gym battle with [[Erika]], the girls in the crowd start acknowledging Ash's skill and how much more impressive he is than he looks, provoking Misty to smile with reassurance.<br /> <br /> * [[EP035]]<br /> : At the beginning of this episode, Ash is marching and singing. Misty is right behind him and longingly stares at him until they reach the [[Kanto Safari Zone|Safari Zone]] warden's house. After Ash sings out his last lines, Misty imitates his enthusiasm and sings her own lines as well. Of course, &quot;Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.&quot;<br /> <br /> : Also, later in the episode, when Ash is about to dive in the water to grab the bomb that Team Rocket threw in there, Misty stops him, and says that it is too dangerous. Although this hint is under debate simply because it could be merely her worrying for Ash, ( as a friend would do ), she also sends down her Starmie to save Ash after he is down there for too long. And afterward, when he comes back up, Misty smiles and is thrilled that he is alive, with a blush apparent.<br /> <br /> * ''[[EP043|March of the Exeggutor Squad]]''<br /> : Misty goes into perhaps the most extreme fits of blushing in the history of the series, all provoked by a simple compliment from Ash about her skimpy stage outfit. No one blushes like that out of mere embarrassment. She clearly holds Ash's opinion of her in exclusive priority.<br /> <br /> * ''[[EP045|The Song of Jigglypuff]]''<br /> : As Jigglypuff begins singing in the woods, Ash and Brock are standing next to each other while Pikachu and Misty are sitting a couple feet away. After Jigglypuff is done singing, Brock and Pikachu are sprawled out asleep by themselves while Misty and Ash are slumped against each other. It might not have meant anything if the two were already standing by each other, in which case it would have just been convenient, but they weren't. Either they moved into this position because they are very comfortable with each other, or the director(s) might have just thrown this in to plant an idea. It is also interesting to note that when they wake up, Misty comments, &quot;What a nice nap.&quot;<br /> <br /> * ''[[EP061|The Misty Mermaid]]''<br /> : At the end of this episode, Ash tells Misty how amazing she was at her performance of the underwater play. Misty disproportionately calls Ash's comments &quot;sweet talk&quot; and reminds him of the bike he owes her, something she supposedly forgot about back on [[Cinnabar Island]].<br /> <br /> * ''[[EP068|Make Room for Gloom]]''<br /> : Upon arriving at the Xanadu Nursery, Brock spies on a pretty girl behind the window, after which Ash comes to look and says he doesn't see a pretty girl. Misty then says, &quot;Just turn around&quot; and giggles, clearly addressing Ash. Ash then jokes about her hallucinating, then starts chuckling.<br /> <br /> : Ash, finally spotting a {{p|Gloom}} behind the window, asks Brock if &quot;he's getting 'misty' over a gloom,&quot; This causes Misty to pull Ash's mouth wide with her fingers and ask him what is he saying about her, mistaking Ash's 'misty' comment with herself. Both seem to be blushing in the midst of their playfulness.<br /> <br /> * ''[[EP155|Forest Grumps]]''<br /> : At the beginning of the episode, Ash and Misty are surprisingly close to one another while tending to their Pokémon. Brock on the other hand is away from them asleep behind a tree.<br /> <br /> : Upon reunion, Ash and Misty exclaim each other's names in joy while the camera focuses on their faces. What's interesting to note is how the scripting and animation seem to focus just on their reunion alone.<br /> <br /> * ''[[AG133|The Right Place and the Right Mime]]''<br /> : When Ash finally arrives home after his travels in Hoenn, he finds Misty at his house. She makes a point of being there, specifically so that she could see Ash as soon as he arrived back from Hoenn even though she apparently has no idea how soon exactly he would be returning. For all she knew, she could have been expecting a wait spanning multiple weeks.<br /> : Azurill is a good excuse to go down there but it does not explain her behavior:<br /> ::Why did she stay at Ash's mother's house, and not at Oak's laboratory?<br /> ::Why was she waiting at Ash's mother's house for days and days for Ash's arrival, especially given that they didn't know exactly how long Ash would take to return?<br /> ::Why was she so concerned about getting to see Ash as soon as he arrived?<br /> ::How can her somewhat wistfully delivered line of how Ash is the same as always be explained?<br /> ::Why couldn't she have simply delayed her trip down there until Ash had already arrived?<br /> <br /> * ''[[Under the Mistletoe]]''<br /> : This song includes hints from both. Ash sings about that he is happy tonight and Misty sings about she knows she will meet her true mistletoe. Later during this song, Misty comments that she and Ash stand under the mistletoe. Also, both sing they want to tell something to [[Santa Claus|St. Nicholas]].<br /> <br /> *Misty constantly yelled at and insulted Ash through out the show, and is an example of the hiding of feelings for children of that age, however depending on how much older they have gotten since they had met, this may or may not be a very big clue.<br /> <br /> ==Alternate names==<br /> PokéShipping, as with many of the more popular Ships, is known by a variety of different names. Following the emergence of PokéShipping from amongst these as the de-facto standard, the other names have become associated with certain groups within the PokéShipping fandom, or certain methods of shipping. A prominent few are detailed below.<br /> <br /> * '''GakiShipping''' - An early term coined around the same time as TwerpShipping, the name was originally meant to be descriptive of both Ash &amp; Misty being ''gakis'' (Gaki being a somewhat rude way to refer to a child in Japanese), but has since evolved to describe the actual shipper, and is now used only in an insulting manner towards shippers (not necessarily just PokéShippers) who use flimsy evidence to support their position, or otherwise act childish, especially when referring to their supported 'ships.<br /> <br /> * '''SatoKasu''' - The original (Japanese) term for the ship, using the standard Japanese naming method of combining the first 2 characters from each characters name, starting with the dominant character.<br /> <br /> * '''SakaShipping''' - Another early name for the pairing, from '''Sa'''toshi and '''Ka'''sumi.<br /> <br /> * '''BikeShipping''' - this name refers to Ash and Pikachu breaking Misty's bike, and is among the least used of all names for this pairing.<br /> <br /> * '''SushiShipping''' - from Ka'''su'''mi and Sato'''shi'''. Combining portions of the characters' names to form words was common early on, but now is hardly ever used.<br /> <br /> * '''TwerpShipping''' - The original (English) name for the ship, the term is currently used primarily only amongst users on TRHQ, and by those who primarily associate themselves with {{s|RocketShipping}}.<br /> <br /> * '''AAML''' - Standing for Ash And Misty Love. Also '''AAMRN''', Ash And Misty Romance Novel.<br /> <br /> ==Trivia==<br /> * Ash and Misty are the only characters who were shown bleeding in an episode, Misty in ''[[EP041|Wake up! Snorlax!]]'' and Ash in ''[[DP053|Tears For Fears!]]''.<br /> <br /> ==Notable PokéShippers==<br /> *[[Daisy (anime)|Daisy]]<br /> *[[Tracey Sketchit]]<br /> *[[Melody]]<br /> *[[Danny]]<br /> *[[Nurse Joy]]<br /> *[[Jessie]], [[James]] &amp; {{MTR}}<br /> <br /> {{Project Shipping notice}}<br /> [[Category:Shipping|PokéShipping]]<br /> [[Category:Anime ships|PokéShipping]]<br /> [[Category:Electric Tale of Pikachu ships|PokéShipping]]<br /> [[Category:Pokémon Special ships|PokéShipping]]<br /> [[Category:Ships with Ash]]<br /> [[Category:Ships with Misty]]</div>

Alice guides them around the landmarks of the town - the Space-Time Tower and the beautiful gardens filled with greenery and water, and while they are completely absorbed by the sightseeing, they discover that the gardens have been devastated by someone. Then, Baron Alberto, an influential man of the town, comes on to the scene. Alberto is confident that the devastation is the work of the legendary Pokémon Darkrai. Then, from the ominous shadows, Darkrai suddenly appears before them. A never-before-known Pokémon, just who is Darkrai? Just at that moment, a fierce battle between Dialga and Palkia is unfolding in an interval of space-time. Space-time is torn apart by the collision of terrible energies. Through the tear, Alamos Town can be seen...<br /> <br /> The whole of Alamos Town is wrapped in an ominous fog, and a mysterious phenomenon arises where the people are unable to leave the town. Then, Tonio, who has become aware of the abnormal space-time phenomena, hastily analyzes the data, and discovers that the devastation of the garden was a sign that Palkia had entered the town. Palkia, having sustained injuries in its violent fight with Dialga, took refuge in Alamos Town. However, Darkrai senses the presence of Palkia and attacks it, causing a terrible battle. Furthermore, chasing Palkia, Dialga appears in Alamos Town from another dimension. When the two Pokémon called as gods encounter Darkrai, the greatest battle in history will begin. Powerful shockwaves shake all of Alamos Town, and before long the town is on the verge of collapse. The nightmare written in Godey's diary is becoming reality... Will Ash and his friends be able to resolve this crisis? Is Darkrai an enemy or an ally?<br /> <br /> ==Featured Pokémon==<br /> *{{p|Dialga}}<br /> *{{p|Palkia}}<br /> *{{p|Darkrai}}<br /> <br /> ==Debuts==<br /> *{{p|Darkrai}}<br /> *{{p|Infernape}} ([[Maki]]'s)<br /> *{{p|Empoleon}} ([[Dai]]'s)<br /> *{{p|Torterra}} ([[Maurice]]'s)<br /> *{{p|Lickilicky}} ([[Baron Alberto]]'s)<br /> *{{p|Chingling}}<br /> *{{P|Finneon}}<br /> *{{p|Lumineon}}<br /> *{{p|Gallade}}<br /> *{{p|Drifblim}}<br /> *{{p|Tangrowth}}<br /> *{{p|Yanmega}}<br /> *{{p|Luxio}}<br /> *{{p|Luxray}}<br /> *{{p|Gible}}<br /> *{{p|Bronzor}}<br /> *{{p|Bibarel}}<br /> *{{p|Honchkrow}} ([[Maki]]'s)<br /> *{{p|Purugly}}<br /> *{{p|Shellos}} (Eastern)<br /> <br /> ==Cast==<br /> {| class=&quot;credits-table&quot; {{graytable|width: 100%;}}<br /> |-<br /> ! style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot; colspan=&quot;4&quot; | <br /> | style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot; colspan=&quot;2&quot; lang=&quot;ja&quot; | 出演<br /> |-<br /> ! width=&quot;12%&quot; | [[Ash Ketchum]]<br /> | width=&quot;22%&quot; | [[Sarah Natochenny]]<br /> ! width=&quot;12%&quot; | Satoshi<br /> | width=&quot;21%&quot; | [[Rica Matsumoto]]<br /> ! width=&quot;12%&quot; lang=&quot;ja&quot; | サトシ<br /> | width=&quot;21%&quot; lang=&quot;ja&quot; | 松本梨香<br /> |-<br /> ! {{AP|Pikachu}}<br /> | Ikue Ohtani<br /> !

In other words, despite being the 10th movie, it features a version of the opening theme of the 11th season, [[We Will Be Heroes]]<br /> * Players who had pre-ordered tickets for the Japanese run could receive a {{p|Deoxys}}. In major cinemas, a {{p|Darkrai}} could be downloaded. Instructions on how to get Darkrai were provided before and after the feature presentation by Meowth.<br /> *This is one of the few movies without a human antagonist. The two others are [[Destiny Deoxys]] and [[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]].<br /> *In the trailers, Ash is seen flying over a {{p|Pidgeot}}. Many fans believed that [[Ash's Pidgeot]] would return. However, this scene was never in the movie itself.<br /> [[Image:InsideSpaceTimeTower.jpg|Inside the Space-Time Tower|thumb|right|250px]]<br /> *On the wall that features Alicia in the center of the Space-Time Tower, there are many Pokémon and their counterparts on the opposite side of Alicia. They are: Solrock and Lunatone, Dustox and Beautifly, Gallade and Gardevoir, Volbeat and Illumise, Zangoose and Seviper, Electivire and Magmortar, Plusle and Minun, Leafeon and Glaceon, and the two variants of Gastrodon.<br /> * The number of Pokémon debuts in this movie is matched only by [[Mewtwo Strikes Back]], [[Spell of the Unown]] and [[Jirachi: Wish Maker]]; this is because these are the only movies to follow the beginning of a new generation. With the exception of the first movie (which was released more than two years after [[Generation I]] had debuted), no Pokémon were introduced in any of these three movies that could not be found in the games of the respective generation. Counting the corresponding Pikachu shorts, ''Mewtwo Strikes Back'' had 22 debuts (of which 3 were [[Generation II]] Pokémon), ''Spell of the Unown'' had 16 and ''Jirachi: Wish Maker'' had 14, or 15 if including {{p|Groudon}} as having a live debut. This movie had 18 debuts within itself, or 20 if considering {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}'s appearances as their live debuts. <br /> *Five minor characters from other movies make a cameo appearance in this movie: <br /> **A man and his daughter, who were briefly seen with {{p|Aipom}} in the beginning of [[Pokémon Heroes]], are given a similar appearance alongside {{p|Chimecho}} and {{p|Chingling}}. <br /> **A man from [[Jirachi: Wish Maker]], where he sold {{an|May}} her Wishing Star, sold {{an|Dawn}} a [[Lunar Wing]]. <br /> ** Finally, the mother and girl that were reading the legend of [[Rota]] in the beginning of [[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]] were seen buying cotton candy and running away from Darkrai. These two are seen again in [[Giratina and the Sky's Bouquet: Shaymin|the next movie]].<br /> * The following promotional cards were available. Each corresponds to a Pokémon film. The first 11 were bought as a set, complete with a gloss paper folder and protective sleeving, while Darkrai had to be obtained when purchasing a ticket.<br /> :#Counterattacking Mewtwo ('''逆襲のミュウツー''' ''Gyakushū no Myūtsū)<br /> :#Rising Lugia ('''爆誕のルギア''' ''Bakutan no Rugia'')<br /> :#Crystal Tower's Entei ('''結晶塔のエンテイ''' ''Kesshōtō Entei'')<br /> :#Time-Crossing Celebi ('''時を超えたセレビィ''' ''Toki o Koeta Serebī'')<br /> :#City of Water's Latias ('''水の都ラティアス''' ''Mizu no Miyako Ratiasu'')<br /> :#City of Water's Latios ('''水の都ラティオス''' ''Mizu no Miyako Ratiosu'')<br /> :#Seven Nights Jirachi ('''七夜のジラーチ''' ''Nanayo no Jirāchi'')<br /> :#Split Sky Visitor Deoxys ('''裂空の訪問者デオキシス''' ''Rekkū no Hōmonsha Deokishisu'')<br /> :#Tree of Beginning's Mew ('''はじまりの樹のミュウ''' ''Hajimari no Ki no Myū'')<br /> :#Wave Hero Lucario ('''波導の勇者ルカリオ''' ''Hadō no Yūsha Rukario'')<br /> :#Prince of the Sea Manaphy ('''蒼海の王子マナフィ''' ''Umi no Ōji Manafi'')<br /> :#Darkrai Lv. 50 ('''ダークライ Lv.50''' ''Dākurai Lv.50'')<br /> *The opening scenes includes references in a row to all earlier movies:<br /> ** It starts of with a fleeing [[Mew (Mewtwo Strikes Back)|Mew]] that is attacked by a {{an|Mewtwo}} which uses {{m|Shadow Ball}}, only to be stopped by Mew by absorbing the attack with a shield (''[[Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''). <br /> ** Then, a {{an|Lugia}} appears, flying in a {{pkmn|battle}} between {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}} and {{p|Moltres}}, and makes the cloudy sky sunny again (''[[The Power of One]]''). <br /> ** A large number of [[Unown (Spell of the Unown)|Unown]] appear, and soon, an [[Entei (Spell of the Unown)|Entei]] uses {{m|Flamethrower}} on a Pokémon (''[[Spell of the Unown]]'')...<br /> ** ...which actually is a {{an|Celebi}} that soon heals itself, stops the Flamethrower, and flies to the side of a {{an|Suicune}} that roars and jumps (''[[Pokémon 4Ever]]''). <br /> ** A {{an|Latios}} and {{an|Latias}} then fly across the screen (''[[Pokémon Heroes]]'').<br /> ** A giant, angry {{p|Groudon}} comes from an explosion at the ground and roars, waking up a {{an|Jirachi}} that flies away (''[[Jirachi: Wish Maker]]''). <br /> ** In the {{wp|ozone layer}}, two {{p|Deoxys}}, both of which are in their Speed forms, flee from {{p|Rayquaza}}, who uses {{m|Hyper Beam}} on a cliff (''[[Destiny Deoxys]]''). <br /> ** A {{an|Lucario}} suddenly jumps from the cliff and {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}} and {{p|Registeel}} use {{m|Hyper Beam}} (''[[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'').<br /> ** A {{p|Kyogre}} then makes a majestic jump out of water, being followed by a {{an|Manaphy}}.

Her Japanese voice actresses are 林原めぐみ ''[[Megumi Hayashibara]]'' ([[EP002]]-[[AG084]], [[AG093]]-present) and ''[[Akiko Hiramatsu]]'' ([[AG085]]-[[AG092]]). Her English voice actresses are [[Rachael Lillis]] ({{4Kids}} dub) and [[Michele Knotz]] ({{PUSA}} dub). She is voiced by [[Isabel Cristina de Sá]] in the Brazilian Portuguese dub, [[Sandra de Castro]] (Kanto, Master Quest, Advanced Generation), [[Teresa Madruga]] (Kanto, Johto, Movies 1 and 2), ''Dora Cruz'' (Johto) and [[Raquel Ferreira]] (Master Quest and Advanced Battle - Battle Frontier) in the European Portuguese dub and by ''Diana Pérez'' in Latin-American Spanish dub. <br /> <br /> ==In the anime==<br /> ===Character===<br /> [[Image:currentjessie.jpg|left|thumb|220px|Jessie]]<br /> Jessie's mother, [[Miyamoto]], was a high-ranking Team Rocket agent. When Jessie was around the age of three, Miyamoto left on a mission to the Andes Mountains to record the voice of the elusive Pokémon {{p|Mew}}. However, Miyamoto disappeared, and Jessie was put into a foster home which had very little money. There were times when she had no choice but to eat snow because of a lack of more nourishing food. <br /> <br /> When she was old enough, she left home to become a Pokémon nurse in [[Johto]]. However, the school she was enrolled in was literally for ''Pokémon'' nurses (i.e. {{p|Chansey}}), so she failed to graduate and left, leaving behind a Chansey she had befriended there. It is assumed that she then traveled back to [[Kanto]], where she enrolled in [[Pokémon Tech]], a trainer's school, met [[James]], and subsequently failed and dropped out. After this, Jessie and James joined a bicycle gang in Sunny Town, where Jessie was known for swinging a chain above her head as she rode her bike (nicknamed &quot;Chainer Jess&quot;).<br /> <br /> &lt;br clear=&quot;left&quot;&gt; <br /> Due to conflicts in canon between Kanto and Johto episodes and the special episode ''[[H012|Training Daze]]'', what happened between Jessie and James after the bike gang is unknown. What ''is'' known, as shown in the special episode, is that they joined Team Rocket separately and were on initially unfriendly terms after being grouped with {{MTR}}. However, they quickly made up and the rest is history.<br /> <br /> Sometime before joining Team Rocket, and it is not known when, Jessie obtained a [[Contest Pass]] in the [[Hoenn]] region. Also during the years before Team Rocket, she had several boyfriends, all of whom left her and/or treated her badly. In ''[[EP234|Xatu the Future]]'', she revealed that she had once worked at a T.V. station as the Weathergirl. <br /> <br /> She has a long-standing bitter rivalry with [[Cassidy]], another member of Team Rocket. Another member, [[Wendy]], held a grudge against Jessie for failing to pay for a drink (making Wendy pay), but got her revenge when she added the charge to Jessie's overall Team Rocket bill.<br /> <br /> In the episode ''[[EP129|Ignorance is Blissey]]'', Jessie was reunited with her friend {{TP|Nurse Joy|Chansey}} from the Pokémon nurse school; Chansey had since evolved into a {{p|Blissey}}.<br /> <br /> Starting in [[Hoenn]], Jessie has become a [[Pokémon Coordinator]], entering every contest that she could. She frequently makes it to the battle round, but usually loses there. However, in ''[[DP022|Borrowing on Bad Faith]]'', she finally succeeded in winning an (unofficial) contest by using [[Dawn's Aipom|Ash's Aipom]], which she had saved earlier in the episode. And, in ''[[DP061|Team Shocker!]]'', she finally wins an official contest with her Dustox in at [[Solaceon City]]. She has [[Contest Pass]]es to compete in the Hoenn, Kanto, and Sinnoh regions.<br /> <br /> While Jessie's role in the Pokémon anime has not yet ended, in [[Toshihiro Ono|Toshihiro Ono's]] manga, ''[[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]'', she ended up married to James and with child.<br /> <br /> Jessie seems to have a special preference for snake-like [[Pokémon]], owning both an {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} and a {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}}. In ''[[EP032|The Ninja Poké Showdown]]'', she expressed a preference for {{type2|Poison}} Pokémon in general.<br /> <br /> For unknown reasons, she, James and Meowth mostly use [[Transportation in Pokémon|hot air balloons]] instead of faster ways of transportation.<br /> <br /> In the Kanto contests, Jessie [[List of Team Rocket's disguises|disguises]] herself as '''Jessebella''' (which is similar to James former fiancee [[Jessiebelle]]) wearing a red dress and glasses. Eventually, Ash, Brock, Max and May finds out her true identity at the last contest. <br /> <br /> During the [[Kanto Grand Festival]], Jessie dresses up as ''Jessadia'' (Japanese: '''キャンディ・ムサリーナ''' ''Candy Musalina''). and wears glasses, long white socks, a yellow and orange dress, and has her hair in pigtails.

She hands out the [[Relic Badge]] to [[Pokémon trainer|trainers]] who defeat her. She specializes in {{type2|Ghost}} [[Pokémon]]. She is apparently not from [[Pokémon nation|the country]] the games are set in, and often peppers her speech with phrases of French.<br /> <br /> Her dress shares many elements as the design of the first [[Pokémon]] on her [[party]], {{p|Drifblim}}: it has a yellow &quot;X&quot; over a puffed out skirt of striped purple fabric.<br /> <br /> ==In the anime==<br /> [[Image:FantinaDP093.jpg|thumb|left|Fantina in the anime]]<br /> Despite the group having traveled through [[Hearthome City]] twice, once in ''[[DP049|Dawn's Early Night]]'' and a second time in [[DP086]], and {{an|Dawn}} having competed in a contest there during the both episodes, Fantina had not appeared in the anime. However, she did leave a note saying that she was going on a journey for a while, and to not look for her.<br /> <br /> She finally appeared in [[DP093]] where she battled {{Ash}} and [[Zoey]]. She beat them both easily. It was also revealed that she battled [[Alan]] twice. It was only after his {{p|Nosepass}} evolved that he was able to defeat her.<br /> <br /> Ash prepared to have a rematch with her in [[DP096]] and will challenge her again in [[DP102]].<br /> &lt;br clear=&quot;left&quot;&gt;<br /> ===Pokémon===<br /> This listing is of Fantina's known Pokémon in the {{pkmn|anime}}:<br /> {|border=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;border: 1px solid #000; border-collapse: collapse;&quot; width=300px cellspacing=&quot;0&quot;<br /> | align=center | [[Image:094.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{p|Gengar}}<br /> | align=center | [[Image:200.png]]&amp;rarr;[[Image:429.png]] {{p|Misdreavus}} &amp;rarr; {{p|Mismagius}}<br /> |-<br /> | align=center colspan=3| [[Image:DPEgg.png]]&amp;rarr;[[Image:425.png]]&amp;rarr;[[Image:426.png]]&lt;br&gt;[[Pokémon egg|Egg]] &amp;rarr; {{p|Drifloon}} &amp;rarr; {{p|Drifblim}}<br /> |}<br /> <br /> ==In the games==<br /> Fantina uses {{type2|Ghost}} Pokémon in her battles. For defeating her, trainers receive the [[Relic Badge]], {{TM|65|Shadow Claw}} and are able to use {{m|Surf}} outside of battle. She considers herself to be a Contest Expert and refuses to let the hero challenge her until they deliver the [[Old Charm]] to the [[Celestic Town]] elder at the request of the elder's granddaughter, [[Cynthia]]. Fantina speaks a mix of French and broken English and is an immigrant from another country. Upon arriving in Sinnoh, she decided to become a performer, so she dresses up in fancy outfits for Pokémon Contests. She also studied Pokémon and eventually attained the title of Gym Leader.<br /> <br /> Fantina has a [[Hyper Potion]] she can use during the Gym battle.<br /> <br /> Fantina can occasionally be competed against in {{pkmn|Super Contest}}s, in which she uses her {{p|Drifblim}}, nicknamed '''Loony''' (Japanese: '''ばるん''' ''Balloon'').<br /> <br /> ===Pokémon===<br /> ==Battle==<br /> ===[[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Pokémon Diamond and Pearl]]===<br /> {{Party|<br /> color={{ghost color}} |<br /> trainerimage=SpriteMerissa.png |<br /> prize=????

Please excuse me. Are you entering a Contest? Tehehe... Enjoy yourself, please! Incidentally, Fantina, the Hearthome Gym Leader, also happens to be a Contest expert. And you may ask yourself, how do I know this? Well, I am Fantina! You may challenge me, but not yet! You must become much stronger. Then, you may challenge me!'' <br /> <br /> Before battle&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''&quot;Ohohoho!! Finally, you have arrived! Since I came to this country, always I try to learn new things. They hold Contests in this city? I say to myself, {{tt|enfin|finally}}, I will excel. That's why I dress this way. {{tt|C'est une performance!|It is a performance!}} Also I study Pokémon very much. I have come to be Gym Leader. And, uh, so it shall be that you challenge me. But I shall win. That's what a Gym Leader does, {{tt|non|isn't it}}?&quot;''<br /> <br /> After sending out last Pokémon&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''&quot;Oh, heavens. What is this? Is this my final Pokémon?&quot;''<br /> <br /> During battle&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''&quot;Never give up, never surrender!&quot;''<br /> <br /> When defeated&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''&quot;You are so fantastically strong. I know now why I have lost.&quot;''<br /> <br /> After being defeated&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''&quot;I am dumbfounded! So very, very strong! You, your Pokémon, so strong! Your power is admirable! I shall honor it with this Gym Badge!&quot;''<br /> <br /> ''&quot;Five Gym Badges... But you must not forget this. There are many other trainers. Strong Trainers, too. There are many more in Sinnoh. Have patience! You must become stronger, one at a time.&quot;''<br /> <br /> ==In the manga==<br /> ===[[Pokémon Special]]===<br /> Fantina first appeared at the Super Contest Hall. When two women were making rude comments about rookie contestants, she sent out her Drifblim to carry them out and throw them into a garbage can. Then, when Diamond, Pearl and Berlitz came back to Hearthome City for the Gym Challenge, they discovered that she was the Gym Leader.<br /> <br /> ====Pokémon====<br /> She has these Pokémon:<br /> {|border=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;border: 1px solid #000; border-collapse: collapse;&quot; width=300px cellspacing=&quot;0&quot;<br /> |-<br /> | align=center | [[Image:429.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{p|Mismagius}}<br /> | align=center | [[Image:426.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{p|Drifblim}}<br /> | align=center | [[Image:355.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{p|Duskull}}<br /> |}<br /> <br /> ===[[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!|Pokémon DP]]===<br /> <br /> She makes a brief cameo in [[DPA07|chapter 7]] handing a badge to Hareta. She is subsequently offended when he calls her &quot;Grandma&quot;.<br /> <br /> ====Pokémon====<br /> {|border=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;border: 1px solid #000; border-collapse: collapse;&quot; width=100px cellspacing=&quot;0&quot;<br /> |-<br /> | align=center | [[Image:426.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{p|Drifblim}}<br /> |}<br /> <br /> ==Trivia==<br /> *During the Gym battle in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, Fantina exclaims &quot;Never give up, never surrender!&quot;, the catchphrase from the 1999 science fiction comedy {{wp|Galaxy Quest}}.<br /> *In the French version she speaks English, while in the Japanese and German versions she has a noticeable accent.<br /> *The proper French form of her name should be ''Fantine''.<br /> *Apparently, Fantina has two {{p|Drifblim}}, one for battles, and one for [[Super Contest|Contests]] (the Drifblim she uses in contests knows {{m|Explosion}}, {{m|Constrict}}, {{m|Focus Energy}}, and {{m|Ominous Wind}}, a noticeably different moveset from the Drifblim she uses in battle).<br /> *Although Fantina's design is based off of a Drifblim, in the original gym match with her in Platinum she doesn't use one. Only in the rematch does her expanded team have a Drifblim in it.<br /> *Despite the fact that she gives the [[TM]] for {{m|Shadow Claw}}, only one of her Pokémon ({{p|Gengar}}) actually knows it and can learn it.<br /> *In Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, Fantina is the fifth gym leader; but as of Pokémon Platinum, Fantina could be challenged the first time the player arrives at Hearthome, therefore making her the third gym leader.<br /> **Due to the switch, this makes her the third gym leader that Ash will defeat out of sequence (fifth if one counts Maylene and Crasher Wake).<br /> ===Names===<br /> {| border=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;border: 1px solid #88a; border-collapse: collapse;&quot; cellspacing=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;2&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background: #ccf;&quot;<br /> !

Its voice actor in both English and Japanese is 小西克幸 ''[[Katsuyuki Konishi]]''.<br /> <br /> ==History==<br /> Ash caught Gliscor as a Gligar in ''[[DP064|Riding the Winds of Change!]]''. It, along with many other {{p|Gligar}} and a {{TP|Paul|Gliscor}} had become trapped in a city after being blown there by a violent windstorm. Gliscor's attempts at using sonar to navigate out of the city were blocked by the tall buildings, and only served to attract more Gligar and the Pokémon soon formed a pack.<br /> [[Image:Ash's Gligar 2.jpg|thumb|183px|left|As a Gligar]]<br /> The pack survived by picking fruit from trees, and stealing food from humans. After Ash and his friends helped the pack, {{p|Gligar}} decided to travel with Ash, allowing him to capture it.<br /> <br /> Gligar seems to have a habit of sticking out its tongue and winking when appearing. It also has the tendency to crash land on top of Ash due to its inability to glide properly. It would also cry when scolded by Ash as shown in ''[[DP081|Chim - Charred! ]]'' and [[DP085]]. Not only that, Gligar seems to be a crybaby of sorts, tearing up very often, especially in fear. Additionally, Gligar seems to be extremely eager to win Ash's attention and approval.<br /> <br /> It evolved into a Gliscor in [[DP085]] in order to save Ash from a fall, using the [[Razor Fang]] Ash received from {{Gary}}. It appears to have kept its personality traits even after evolution, as it still cries when scolded by Ash and also winks and sticks its tongue out.<br /> <br /> ==Moves used==<br /> [[Image:AshGliscorXScissor.jpg|right|thumb|130px|Ash's Gliscor using {{m|X-Scissor}}]]<br /> *{{m|Sand-Attack}}<br /> *{{m|Steel Wing}}<br /> *{{m|X-Scissor}}<br /> <br /> ==Trivia==<br /> * Gliscor is the third Flying-type Pokémon Ash has ever owned whose other type wasn't Normal, the other two being {{AP|Butterfree}} and {{AP|Charizard}}.<br /> * Ash's capture of Gligar brought another {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}} to the protagonists in the [[Diamond &amp; Pearl series]], the others being {{TP|Dawn|Aipom}} and {{TP|Brock|Sudowoodo}}. Gligar has since evolved into Gliscor, a {{cat|Generation IV Pokémon}}.<br /> * Gliscor and [[Dawn's Swinub]] are the only Pokémon in the party of Ash and his friends that aren't in the original [[Sinnoh Dex]]. [[Jessie]], however, has {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}}, {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} and {{TP|Jessie|Yanmega}}.<br /> * Gligar's means of capture was similar to [[Ash's Squirtle]], in that it was part of a group of Pokémon of its species causing trouble for a town, joined because it wanted to go with Ash, filled Ash's [[party]] with six members, and was captured shortly before Ash met up with the region's third [[Gym Leader]].<br /> * Gligar appeared on {{rt|215}}, a route where it is possible to catch Gligar via the [[dongle method]] using {{game|Emerald}}.<br /> * Gligar was the fourth Pokémon caught by Ash to debut with no revealed attacks, after [[Ash's Kingler|Krabby]], {{AP|Muk}}, and {{AP|Tauros}}. Its battle debut wasn't until ''[[DP070|Bells are Singing!]]'', revealing three attacks at once. It is, however, the only Pokémon of Ash's Sinnoh team to not debut with any attacks at all.<br /> *For ''[[DP068|A Triple Fighting Chance!]]'', [[Professor Oak's lecture]] is about Ash's Gligar.<br /> *Gliscor appears to show behavior that is like [[Ash's Bayleef]] and {{AP|Aipom}}. This is shown in ''[[DP070|The Bells are Singing!]]'' when Gligar hugs Ash.<br /> **In ''[[DP075|Our Cup Runneth Over!]]'', Gligar appeared to be blushing just moments before it tackled Ash to the floor; why it did so is unclear, but may be further evidence that it might be female.<br /> **Further, in ''[[DP081|Chim - Charred! ]]'' Gligar repeatedly goes to Ash for hugs and affection. Gligar listens very intently and contemplatively to Ash's encouragement, seeming to drink in his every word, and is even startled when the other Pokémon encourage it. This behavior is also calls to mind [[Ash's Bayleef]] and [[Dawn's Ambipom|Ash's Aipom]], both of whom showed interest in Ash and are both female Pokémon. Also, the three Pokémon have English names which are also similar to their respective Japanese names, and each has evolved once.<br /> **Yet another parallel between the three Pokémon is that they each evolved to save their trainers from danger; Chikorita evolved into Bayleef to save Ash, Aipom evolved into Ambipom to save Dawn, while Gligar evolved into Gliscor to save Ash.<br /> **Another interesting relationship to note of is that these three Pokémon have run away from Ash (due to a conflict between them) at various points of time (Bayleef did so in [[EP200]], Aipom did so in ''[[AG182|Aipom and Circumstance]]'', while Gliscor did so in [[DP085]], when it was still a Gligar), but they patch things up with him pretty quickly, usually strengthening their bond at the end of the episode.<br /> *[[DP085]], the episode in which Gligar evolved into Gliscor, first aired in Japan on the Thursday of the same week that the dub of ''[[DP064|Riding the Winds of Change]]'', the episode in which Gligar is captured, first aired in the United States.<br /> *Gliscor is the first fully evolved Pokémon on Ash's Sinnoh Team.<br /> *Gliscor is Ash's only Pokémon and the third of a main character's Pokémon to evolve via an item ([[Razor Fang]]). The first one was [[Misty's Politoed]] ([[King's Rock]]) and the second was [[Brock's Ludicolo]] ({{evostone|Water Stone}}). Coincidentally, all these Pokémon evolved with items that belonged to someone else, and the Pokémon belong to the anime's original three protagonists.<br /> *Gliscor is the third Generation IV Pokémon to evolve from a Generation II Pokémon on-screen after [[Dawn's Ambipom]] and [[Jessie's Yanmega]], and the fourth Generation II Pokémon to evolve into a Generation IV Pokémon overall, since [[Paul's Murkrow]] evolved into Honchkrow off-screen between ''[[DP064|Riding the Winds of Change!]]'' and ''[[DP066|Lost Leader Strategy!]]''.<br /> *Gliscor now shares a trait with {{AP|Glalie}} as the Pokémon that filled up Ash's sixth party slot in [[Hoenn]] and Sinnoh, respectively, and evolving soon after.<br /> *Ash's Gliscor is smaller than [[Paul's Gliscor]], a relationship similar to that which [[Ash's Kingler|Ash's Krabby]] shared with a {{p|Krabby}} that {{Gary}} (another [[rival]] of Ash's) caught.<br /> *Gliscor is the only member of Ash's on hand team that hasn't been in a Gym battle, as of the latest Japanese episode.<br /> <br /> ==Related articles==<br /> *{{Animespeciesevo1|Gligar|Gliscor}}<br /> *[[Paul's Gliscor]]<br /> <br /> ==External links==<br /> *[http://pokeani.com/poke/r_p-satoshi28.html Glion's Profile] on [[Pokeani]] (Japanese)<br /> &lt;br clear=&quot;left&quot;&gt;<br /> {{Ash's Pokémon}}<br /> [[Category:Ash's Pokémon|Gligar]]<br /> <br /> [[de:Ashs Skorgro]]<br /> <br /> [[fr:Scorvol de Sacha]]<br /> [[ja:サトシのグライオン]]<br /> [[pt:Gliscor de Ash]]</div>
