{{User:Azure42/Navigation}}

Welcome to my ChromeVoid42 page, for you to be seeing this page 2 things must be happening
[[File:025Pikachu Dream.png|right|thumb|[[Pikachu]] respects you :P|100px]]
*You guys are as hard as Nails, good for you ;D
or
*The navigation page i've made hasn't fully warned you about the content that will eventually be on this page

Either way, thanks for stopping by :D

ChromeVoid42, as you may know, is a place where i'll be using more details, opinions, stories and possibly more usertags. When this page is done it will be loaded with stuff about me for your viewing pleasure :D

[[File:Ash_Misty_Hold_Hands.png|left|thumb|Before there was shipping, there was AAML|200px]]Previously on this page i told you i was a huge Pokeshipper (and i do mean huge), in addition to that i told you that i treat Shipping a little like religion, but i won't explain that just yet ;)

Another fact to leave you with is that i'm making a GenVI game, currently i'm in the design of routes and i've already briefed the storyline of the game and titled 2 chapters worth of rounds the manga (i also have 2 more Adventures Chapters to round, and 4 of RéBurst but i dunno how long RéBurst will be so it's hard), currently hitting procrastination and just fan-art-ing scenes but, you don't need to know this ;).

I then told you that even though i am a Pokeshipper, i do not deny the fact that every girl Ash has travelled with shows ''some'' attraction to him. However, i do solely and ''Strongly'' believe that [[Ash]] is in love with {{an|Misty}}, and always has been (and Misty to Ash). But this is only my opinion, i'm not here to convince or to argue with users otherwise.

The Next thing i'll tell you about me is that i have a strong despise for {{an|Dawn}}. Sometimes it's just that unexplainable kind of hate, but some factors are that i think the shipping is practically non-existent (and a little blasphemous) but also that her character is both boring and overly attended to (again, my opinions here, not trying to make wars).
It also enrages me when traits of main characters mirror Misty's (e.g. [[Cilan (anime)|Cilan's]] special lure and [[Iris (anime)|Iris']] fear of {{t|Ice}}-types to say a few), i'm not too sure about when it's done to other characters but if i notice it i do scold the lack of originality, such as Ash's suit in [[Luke|Luke's]] Movie mirroring [[Sir Aaron|Sir Aaron's]] and [[Robert (Unova)|Robert]] being similar to [[Todd Snap]].

I have only properly read 1 volume of the Pokemon adventures manga (though i do keep tabs here) i also admired the {{adv|Green|Girl in the black dress}}. In addition i am also a MangaPokéshipper, an Agencyshipper and also a Franticshipper.

More facts; i am also a Digimon fan!!! *epic shocking close up*
Yes i do like both parties that clash in similarity; but i'm more into pokémon don't worry ;) - but for Digimon my favorites were plain and simple; favorite digimon partner was Patomon (fave digimon itself was either Angemon, Saraphmon, Omnimon, Blackwargreymon or Mangamon), fave character TK, fave series 1st and 02 and fave ship Takari (TK and Kari). I stopped watching after the 3rd series - and i don't play the games or read the manga, which makes Pokémon {{p|Serperior|superior}} to it ;D.[[File:Young_White_Adventures.png|right|thumb|how could you not d'aww at that face :P|200px]]

More things, as well as the little black dress, i am a fan of {{adv|White}}, i think it's been more revealed as i can't stop awwwing at her young self XD. I find her interesting, passionate and i hope she does get more Pokemon (and her ownback on [[Gigi]]) and becomes an official Pokedex Holder of, which i think the skill will be, Ideals (as she dreams a lot about success while {{adv|Black}} is more about discovering the Truth), i also ship them together (as you saw before)

I really have warmed to ReBurst :) at first i didn't like the concept of turning into a pokemon but now i like most of the characters; mainly Ryouga, Miruto, Rend, Hariru and Carola. I think there'll be some anti-heroing by Hariru and possibly a ship between him and Carola (who i also think will switch sides). I think Ryouga's main enemy will be the bust heart of Fire; Reshiram, i just don't like Yappy and i'm a little uncertain over Fraud and Pauline due to lack of development.

Black/White has been given the term Agencyshipping (if you didn't know), but there's none for Reburst yet. So i'm dibbsing this right now for Ryouga/Miruto Burstshipping (seems right as it's the first) and for Carola/Hariru Gavelshipping (as they're in the Great Gavel). Use it and spread it across the world :D. Another fact is that i've caught [[Pokérus]] on White, and i've spread it to every pokemon i have, mwahahahaa

Now i have spread Pokerus to all of my Pokémon i'm in a state of limbo, only collecting heart scales and waiting for trades to come in. I no longer have a shiny entei D: but i have a Reshiram and a Tornadus (nicknamed Raikou...because the trader thought it was Thundrus). Bad nicknames aside, i take good care of them. GVI news, my RéBurst storyline is pretty epic i think :P but other than character design not much on that front, plus the addition of Pauline and Fraud may make me reconsider my character listing (i only have a main 4, but about 10 villains XD).

Right, time for another epic closeup *zooooom*

I'm not a fan of [[N]]!!!!!
[[File:N_Gigi.png|right|thumb|EVIL|200px]]
now when i say not a fan, i mostly mean i don't like his association with White in shipping, i love his farewell speech in the game, his personality too seems okay. But sometimes i just think he's a douche (mainly in Adventures), he's a bit feminine at some times (even more than Ruby) and aside from his green ponytail and rubix cube his design is quite plain. I can see the appeal and i do want to give the character a chance, but if he's acting like he did in the Adventures Ferris Wheel moment or been shipped around White i switch off (probably because of Agencyshipping). i also think that [[Ghetsis|The Pirate]] is not his dad, possibly an uncle due to the resemblance but not his father. I do, however, like [[Anthea and Concordia]] and the references to literature the [[Seven Sages|Sages]] say. I also may be responsible for making the rumour that him and [[Cilan|Sir Anti-Sclera]] are related, my mistake ^^.

As for opinions, i prefer the old main page, it seemed neater and less glossy...as for progress on the pages, very much delayed, i just seem to lack enthusiasm for it right now. A fact though, on my DeviantART i make demotivational posters using the screenshot links on the latest BW episode, it's what i do on Thursdays :P I also voted for Mew in the popularity poll.

Due to the Poll results being Arceus (HELL YEAH), i have no need for these raging posts, so i'll update it keeping hold of the general facts. I kind of believe the Ditto/Mew connection (the fact that Dittos are failed replicas of mew, which is why they have the same normal and shiny colors, can both transform and both don't reproduce) i also believe the {{p|Entei|Three}} {{p|Raikou|Legendary}} {{p|Suicune|Beasts}} connection (they being reincarnations of three {{p|Flareon|First}} {{p|Jolteon|Generation}} {{p|Vaporeon|Pokemon}}). I also have a belief that can connect the history of Mew (being the ancestor of all pokemon) and Arceus (being the creator of all pokemon) so one doesn't conflict the other, but that's for Generation 6 ;).
[[File:637Volcarona_Dream.png|left|thumb|VFR laughs at your Dragon Pseudos|200px]]

My favorite Bug type is {{p|Volcarona|VFR}} which stands for "Volca-F***ing-Rona", i seem to appreciate GV's designs a lot now, but i have favorites in all categories and generations. Like my favorite fossil {{p|Kabutops}}.
I'm also writing a Pilot for the series known as 'Psycho Bel', it's mostly the events of the game in the eyes of [[Bianca]] during the player's journey. However, after her Munna was stolen, she fell into a slight madness in the dual personality of Bel, Bel hunts for members of Team Plasma in a bloodthirsty revenge, whether people think the idea is good or not is in the balance XD.

[[File:ArceusAnime5.png|right|thumb|Arceus is happy it doesn't have to destroy the universe|100px]]

I knew Fraud would be evil, but i didn't see that coming. Other stuff errrr...USERNAME
I think i've let you wait long enough, 42 is my favorite number, it's also the meaning of life and what my initials are in numbers (so 1 = A etc.). Chrome is the main character of my Adventures series (but the versions are not called Chrome and ???) and void because it links to Black, a favored color in shiny Pokemon and just the color in general :D.

So, on the White front, she caught a Deerling :D :D a very irate Deerling might i add :P called Jessica XD it's good to see her catching but it was sad to see her and Black part ways D: but the farewell just adds to Agencyshipping :) and she has Brav to take care of her. While we're on Adventures, i've been very interested in what's going to happen in the HGSS chapter; i've barely heard anything on it and it's killing me a little. I love [[Togebo|Togebo's]] story, and i love the Togepi line itself, primarily {{p|Togepi}} and {{p|Togekiss}} (in the game Togekiss, not much the anime, but that could be because Dawn owns it, Togepi is both, but i know why {{an|Misty|that}} [[Misty's Togepi|is]]). I also like Human Latias and Wally, i'm not much of a fan of Yellow and Emerald however (I am not Size-ist XP).
[[File:White_Battle_Subway_Adventures.png|left|thumb|Awwww, proper romantic and all X3|200px]]
As we also hit onto shipping, i think i may be warming to the idea of Contestshipping, as a youth i never really bothered with the AG series due to a lack of Misty and high-school bullying (the first episodes i watched however, were the Togepi ones O_o inb4itwasdestined) but now that i've had a look at Drew and his character, it does seem possible :). As for a Manga shipping i am completely lost on where Green stands, i mean there is some lucky, some oldrival and some chosen in there, so it's hard to see which side she's on (because Silver is definitely on board the chosenshipping express ^^). Lemme see, some more trivia...I don't like Dragonites, i prefer Dragonair...I Rocketship, but that was natural with AAML and honestly, i prefer the Japanese voices of all the characters of BW.
In GVI, i have also planned some side games, this includes a racing game and a sequel to an old game for the WiiU *hint hint to anyone close to Game Freak workers :P*. Er i am currently learning to drive, i failed my second test (1st Dec '11) i had one on 23rd Jan, but passed on 24th Feb.

[[File:AG136.png|right|thumb|Like. A. Boss|300px]]
I'm kind of getting into Homestuck too, not too much though, i only roleplay :D it seems much simpler to roleplay your own personality then try to go through about 6000 webcomic pages XD, i'm also planning a manga for that. I also like a manga called Medaka Box, it's a SJ Manga becoming an anime in April, but i think i'll just stick with the Manga - even though it drives me insane D:.
More Pokemon facts...My battle strategy is a forceful one, mainly focusing on stats, type and speed. I don't battle wirelessly though as i know i would be extremely outmatched by hackers and normals :P.
My favorite anime Pokemon is no contest {{AP|Charizard}}. But i do like a lot of other characters, i don't have one for Manga yet ;).
I also have a DSi at my mums and a 3DS at my dads :O, the 3DS is so awesome :'D and so is the DSi, i'm mainly playing Pokemon now.
My next visit will probably involve me making more usertags; one saying that i have anger issues when Legendaries are involved :P (they won't stay in the ball!!!) and i'll probably do some template tweaking, so this won't change for a while.
[[FIle:Juanita Golurk Black Fly.png|left|thumb|I was, So Close to having you...|200px]]
well the idea above failed XD i kept forgetting to do it. Mostly updating; I have now got a Driver's License, the car needs a few tweaking. I have currently discovered [[GTS Negotiations|Negotiations]] but have only made 1 trade through it; Shny lv75 Metagross for my lv70 Mewtwo :D. I got friends to do some trade and trade evos so i was currently on 639/649. I was short of Jirachi, Deoxys, Darkrai, Shaymin, Keldeo, Meloetta and Keldeo. I'm probably gonna have the {{p|Kyurem|Kyurem formes}} as more a trophy thing. So if you have ANY of those and would trade for either a Mewtwo, any of the 3 Birds/Beasts or a Latios (the blue one right?) or even just a first stager, come onto my Talk and post your FC, i'll give you mine and we'll sort it from there. I must note that all the pokemon except first stagers will have Pokérus (unless you ask for a Rus'd first stager) and that i only want LEGIT pokemon. Trust me, i had to turn down a Shiny {{p|Golurk|Iron Giant}} for this D: which was really hard for me to do!!!
[[File:Bianca_catches_a_Pokémon.png|right|thumb|You just grow to love her, even if she does put Ash in a Body of Water XP|200px]]
What else? Well i'm glad Ash got {{AP|Shades|Krokorok}}, i like most of the rivals due to these Don Tournaments; my favorite rivals from BW are {{an|Bianca|Miss Bubbly}}, [[Stephan|Mr Success]] and to be honest i kind of like [[Georgia|Miss Says-Bye-Like-A-B**ch]]. I'm disappointed that {{AP|Tepig}} will evolve and {{AP|Oshawott}} hasn't. Not heard much on the RéBurst or Adventures front. I've started prepping for GVII, redesigned my PC's, one has killer hair ;P but that's early progress. BW2 leaves me unimpressed on first impressions, but i look forward to a Keldeo and Meloetta event possibly coming soon.
[[File:Stephan.png|left|thumb|His only weakness is Static|200px]]
More things? Well not much to add; i've nearly ended my first year at uni, i've almost completed the nat dex, Ash still hasn't aged, they've gone past Mistralton (which made [[Skyla]] look really cocky :/ thus meaning that Elesa got ahead of her in the anime rankings) so most of my designed episodes are null (it involved the return of {{an|Misty|a favorite of mine}} up to Brycen who was gonna be ironic but hey ho...), Psycho Bel is still waiting, so's my HS manga (i've been busy and unable to practice computer drawing), personal issues not much of a problem, DSi changed my FC, Negotiators keep on offering me Phiones!!! and well, so goes on my life :P.

Well now i add more. My first year of uni is done, not much going around the GVII stuff, i think i need to see more of what BW2 is doing. I've grown to like [[Homika]] but i still find the new main guy (who has been fan named Volt - with the girl as Blaze - in my circles) having ridiculous hair. The {{p|Darkrai}} event excites me, as i need a Darkrai to fill the dex, the national Dex will most likely be complete when i get Black 2 due to the Kyurem Formes though, but that's plenty of time to get a Deoxys and a Shaymin and plenty of time for the Meloetta and Keldeo events to come around, plus it could reward a Genesect event too.
As this states, i managed to get my grips on a Manaphy and a Jirachi, i had friends who had them so they let me register it so i could find them myself on GTS. So now i have 643/651 (inc Kyurem formes)
Happy Stephan won the [[Clubsplosion|Donamite]], donamite sounds way cooler anyway ¬¬, and happy the VFR makes its debut soon :D. Other than that, all i've been doing with Pokemon is making trainers/childhood friends/Cynthia broke :P
um Facts: [[Steven Stone|Steven]] is my favorite champion, even though i've never faced him. I find his character one of the most interesting yet not too overbearing like the presence of Lance, he comes ahead of Blue mainly due to the fact that i could never take my rival seriously; i have beaten [[Cheren]] multiple times using only 1 pokemon, and that was before they got to lv100.
Hmmm another fact...I moved my lv100 HG Typhlosion and SS Feraligatr to my White; i was amazed to realize that Typhlosion actually has a Sp Atk stat of 312; so i made his moves more diverse should my friends ever wanna online battle me.
What else can i say...nothing really on Pokemon; i'm quite interested in [[Rug]] in RéBurst and i like that [[Karuta]] is a part of the group - though i think the girl should focus more on him and leave Ryouga alone so he can be with Miruto :P I'm now a bit of a SpokeShipper (Stephan/Bianca)and that's all i've got on that XD.
Non-Pokemon related stuff involves me joining Pottermore, i became a Hufflepuff D: but it has inspired me to make a comic of that - to join Psycho Bel, the Homestuck comic and probably others XD
[[File:642Thundurus-Therian.png|thumb|Why are you the only good one|200px]]
But yeah, just thought i'd update :D
The VFR ep was stale D: but it's not a problem because Shades was awesome in the following one :P
So now i have a Deoxys! but Kami formes have come through ¬¬...so now was have {{p|Tornadus|Gay Chicken}}, {{p|Landorus|Raikou Reject}} and {{p|Thundurus|The only one that looks cool}}. I also have Shaymin data, but if i want keeps i'll need GTS to actually get me a legit Shaymin...that or an event coming up (Like Darkrai's one, which i got :D).
I'm all prepared for the BW2 release :D I also snagged a Japanese Ditto for a baby Solosis, so [[Masuda method]] is an absolute. Other than that it's been quite quiet here; my Homestuck comic is now a Quintrilogy (5 series) - still doesn't beat the Harry Potter Nonology (9 series) but it matches Psycho Bel. My GVII ideas have been improved ever since discovering that the Pokemon World Tournament feature looking like my Project Alpha Tournament feature of my own game!!!

honestly you can't let your guard down because the moment you do BAM! your idea is stolen and condensed down so no-one would believe you when you said it -_-

but yeah, i've redesigned Gym leaders, partial storylines (still needs work), region shape and i just need a function for 1 more city...which has taken weeks to think of XD and the characters have better hair than [[Black2|Volt]]...though that's not difficult XD
Anime protocol has seen the return of {{an|Dawn|Her}} again...tbf [[Zoey]] was much cooler anyway and even more of course, Misty.
Hopefully she too gets a return with this World Tournament thing along with Brock, it'd be so epic with the old gang back together :D (and of course Pokeshipping but that can wait till the end of the anime ;P). But yeah, this is my update, and you are now up to date :P

wow it's been a while, almost 2 years 0_0
Well let's get to speed

I caught them all on B2, and racked up a fair bit of shinies
I haven't completed the Nat Dex in X because i'm busy spreading Pokérus and i wasn't informed about the [[Shiny Charm]] being in XY until a few days ago -___-
I still do Poster Memes of XY, Clemont's my favorite :3 as well as {{AP|The Gentleman|Froakie}} and Bonnie
I wanna like Serena, despite Amours getting all high horse and getting on my AAML nerves ¬_¬, but the writers aren't doing much with her, all she does is tense her hands, make sweets, change from different career paths, show something on her PDA and blush ¬_¬
give the girl some Personality!

I'm ALMOST done with Uni now, spent my second year getting Straight As and i wanna keep at it ;) but i still have a presentation to make/do
I'm unfortunately still jobless, i had a trial run at a bar yesterday (from a CV i handed in a year ago called 7 hours before having to go there) and an interview on Wednesday, so things are happening, but i do wanna get into the Games companies

The HS 'Manga' is more a comic now, Ideas stack but nothing's to fruition because of Uni Work and poor artistic skills on the computer ^^;
my 'GVII' game goes into a continual process of amending whatever Nintendo takes from my ideas such as riding Pokémon, Capture Experience, Clothes Changing (and skin color), and [[Mega Evolution| '4th Stages']] - which i'm between liking and hating.
ummm what else can i update you on?

Chain Fishing's cool, so is Amie - i have a 249 chain on Head It! I suck at Puzzle Swap though

[[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire| Hoenn's confirmed]], but i'd prefer an Emerald Remake, simply because of {{p|Rayquaza|My Favorite Legendary}} and getting to watch Groudon and Kyogre fight it out in 3D :D but alas no, at least we get to return to Franticshipping though :3 Gotta confirm it now since we'll probably never see them after this :/ Maybe they should do the reverse of the 80-Day Challenge, Ruby does Gyms and Sapphire does Contests, that'd be cool since {{adv|Platinum|Lady Berlitz}} smashed Saph's old record.

Since we're on manga, BW2 Chapter is vague but i like {{adv|X}}'s backstory, hopefully he comes out of his shell though, it'd be nice for him to catch more Pokémon for [[Garu and Kogaru|G & K]] to play with.

I also mellowed down on N dislike since BW2, the Memory Link was a brilliant touch, especially the music - which i've now been able to listen to

Other Games i like are Professor Layton (not the Prequels though), Mario and Batman: Arkham Series, I wanna get into LoZ but not much time

I also like Miyazaki Films; Laputa and Mononoke are my faves, HS is still waiting on the curtain call since a 'Gigapause'

and now it's been 2 years...
whoops XD
Maybe i'll clear this up another day; as for social updates let's see

Homestuck is still in its Paused State, but not without a lot more cliffhangers and whatnot, it's 'supposed' to be the last one
I did play a LoZ Game, Ocarina of Time 3DS, it was good but nothing I'd gush over
I've completed X and OmegaRuby, racked up some shinies, and now I await potentially Z

other than that; I got a job and quit it a year and 8 months after, looking for another now - albeit begrudgingly, I'm still getting into Undertale, watched Star Wars: the Force Awakens, got the Elder Scrolls Online, went to MCM Comic Con...
Stuff really
As for the Anime, slight improvement is at hand, though I still think it's a travesty that Clemont won't have had an episode about him for 16 episodes AND COUNTING! Eevee's evolution seems too early (and your last showing of Eevee lacked Bunnelby -_- ) and then there's all the other nitpicky stuff (like making Luxray only use Swift instead of his STAB attacks)
as I said, nitpicky

I will eventually get to making this neat and tidy, but it's low on the long list of things i still have to/want to do XD
I doubt people read this really, until it updates of course, then you're checking the changes ;)

Well, i hope you enjoyed ChromeVoid42 as much as you did Azure42 (perhaps even more :P, y'know if you got on there), if you wanna chat don't be shy

...

Well damn, I suppose it has been a while.
A lot has happened since all of this; not all of it great mind you but not all of it awful.
For anyone curious Homestuck did end, almost mercifully at that point, then a year later the author did an Ao3 epilogue that kinda ruined it all for me, I didn't keep with the follow-up. Undertale was great, and while Star Wars' movies and tv shows became a mixed bag there's still Andor Season 2 to look forward to. I suppose one of the few things I've picked up that has stuck since then is Critical Role, I've enjoyed that, and One Piece.
Job-wise I'm in my seventh year of working in QA, it at least marginally relates to my degree but these days nobody's thinking about retirement moreso than staying financially afloat, I'm more lucky that I don't have to deal with that Orange Gumshoos of a president twice by living in England - though I can't say our politics are good either.

We still patiently await Z...-A, it's been a long wait but we're almost there XD I have kept up with Pokémon, Legends: Arceus was such fun for me and I wish that was the main game template. I still enjoyed Sun/Moon, UltraSun/UltraMoon, Sword/Shield and Scarlet/Violet despite fan displeasure, which I believe is just overcritical at this point, but Arceus is up there among my faves. Anime-wise I found myself dissatisfied by Sun/Moon and Journeys - felt more like the writers decided to rush Ash's endings by giving him two back to back league victories after fans got upset about him losing (rightfully) to Alain. Horizons is alright, at this current time the one year timeskip took place and I'm impressed that Roy has matured, but Liko stays the same which is disappointing, I don't quite connect with her, and I still feel Paldea was perfect for Ash as a character. Also I roll in shinies now, thanks to Arceus, GO and events, still room for more though.

If people hope I'm gonna clean this up I probably won't, but it's at least a documentation of someone's life that makes me cringe over the overuse of wink emojis, still you can't change the past, things happen and you have to endure, sometimes it's easy and even times fun, but not always, life happens and we'll see what life will have in store for me when I update this next.{{ut|Azure42|Say Hello}}. Be sure to come again sometime soon, there might be something new the next time you visit.

see ya around User, by the way

{{User Lost the Game}}

Azure42: /* Trivia */ Reply

== Seaking and Shellder ==
Doesn't she have these Pokemon at the Gym? I added them at the bottom of Cerulean Gym accessible pokemon. --[[User:Aquabender|Aquabender]] 22:28, 24 April 2010 (UTC)
== Afraid of Bugs ==
From the article:
"The only Bug-type Pokémon Misty is not afraid of is Ash's Heracross"

However, she showed no fear of ash's butterfree and thought it was pretty, iirc. Should this be added in?

She may not have been afraid of Ash's Butterfree, but she was scared of it before it evolved. It's still the same "Person" so she was scared of it. Just not in that form.--[[user:Billyt506|Bill]][[Special:Contributions/Billyt506|t]][[User talk:Billyt506|506 22:31, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

If i recall, she also wasn't afraid of Arielle's Ledyba in The Wistle Stop. [[User:EpicShadow|EpicShadow]] 20:49, 8 September 2010 (UTC)

Why isn't there any information on the Adventures version of this character? -{{u|TBustah}}

== Jigglypuff ==

Didn't Misty befriend the recurrent Jigglypuff in its debut episode? Why isn't it listed in her befriended Pokémon? [[User:YukitoOoO|YukitoOoO]] 06:58, 8 November 2010 (UTC)
:I don't know what the heck Misty is doing with a "Befriended" section anyway. It was ruled that Max is the only one of the main characters that was allowed to have a befriended section. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 07:52, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

== Gym Pokemon ==
why don't the pokemon from the gym get pictures in her pokemon section.--[[User:Solidadrox|Solidadrox]] 05:53, 13 November 2010 (UTC)

== Go, My Steady ==
In the Japanese version, as she throws her ball, she often shouts "{{tt|いくわよ,マイステディー!|Go, My Steady!}}". Is this notable enough for the Trivia section. If it is, is there any English dub equivalent? --[[User:Jda95|jda95]] 05:56, 1 February 2011 (UTC)

== Misty mermaid. ==

In article it says how Misty has been showed wearing "hair extensions" in "Misty Mermaid" and "Cerulean Blue".
Such thing has never been said or implied in those episodes and Misty has been showed having longer hair in some other episodes like "Princess vs Princess" too.

Maybe part about extensions should be edited out,because it is assumption not being known if that was her hair or not. --[[User:Pokemon fan 132|Pokemon fan 132]] 09:39, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

== Future appearances. ==

Does Kasumi really need a future appearances subpage? Takeshi, Haruka, Masato, and Hikari don't have one, and the stuff about Mayumi Iizuka and her High Touch appearance can easily go in the trivia page. {{unsigned|PowerfulStarmie}}

== Episode count: ==

In the Trivia Section on Misty's page, it shows an episode count of how many episodes each long term female companion has appeared. It says Misty has 280 episodes.. which is a bit inaccurate. In the Original, she appeared in 273 episodes, and added on the 5 episodes she got in the Advanced Generation, she got 278 episodes. Unless the flashbacks and side stories count to, but that would effect the other girls to:
With Flashbacks:
* Misty: 280
* Dawn: 201
* May: 198
* Iris: 141
With side stories:
* Misty: 281
* Dawn: 201
* May: 197
* Iris: 141
Both side stories and flashbacks:
* Misty: 283
* Dawn: 202
* May: 198
* Iris: 142
Without both Side stories and flashbacks:
*Misty: 273
* Dawn: 200
* May: 197

== Borrowed Golduck's gender ==

I know Misty borrowed a Golduck in the anime and this Golduck is male. However, when shown with a Golduck in Generations 2 and 4, Golduck is male in the first times that the player battles her. However, in Misty's Generation 5 appearance, Golduck is either male or female. Since Golduck is 50-50, is this anime-based or games based? [[User:WATERWARRIOR67|WATER]][[User talk:WATERWARRIOR67|Warrior]]67 20:38, 7 December 2014 (UTC)
:[[Misty]] is not the same as Misty (anime). This is solely for the character from the anime. [[User:Glik|glik]][[User talk:Glik|glak]] 20:50, 7 December 2014 (UTC)
:: I know ''that''. However, I've watched the episode (quite a few times), and I '''don't''' recall the mention of a gender for said {{p|Golduck}}. [[User:WATERWARRIOR67|WATER]][[User talk:WATERWARRIOR67|Warrior]]67 20:52, 7 December 2014 (UTC)
:::Then why did you not mention that and instead talk about completely unrelated Golduck? [[User:Glik|glik]][[User talk:Glik|glak]] 20:59, 7 December 2014 (UTC)

== Add? ==

I don't know where I'd add this, or if it's notable for that matter. In ''[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', Misty makes a cameo appearance. The cameo in itself is interesting because it's a flashback from (fibro fog; advanced apologies if I name the wrong movie) "Pokémon Heroes". So, is it notable, or not? Misty is one of my (many) favorite characters, and I was wondering if this can count as an appearance, albeit a cameo flashback. Let me know!

==Yawa surname==
I happened across http://www.answers.com/Q/Is_Misty's_last_name_really_Waterflower which has a person deny the question but instead propose that in the Japanese version of the anime series she is given the surname "Yawa" and that this is removed in the English dubs.

I'm attempting to trace when this idea earliest appeared on the net and if there might be any validity to the claim. Found https://ca.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090622135949AAEdJzf which has someone named Mathis 2 years ago say she self-identifies as this in [[Spell of the Unown]], a film which debuted 8 July 2000.

Although I haven't listened to it, some wayback archives appear to support this idea being present at the time:
*[http://web.archive.org/web/20000124170502/http://members.tripod.com/Ash_Misty/faq.htm 24 January 2000]: no mention of Yawa
*[http://web.archive.org/web/20010803050513/http://members.tripod.com/Ash_Misty/faq.htm 3 August 2001]: "we at aaml have found out her last name in the Japanese version. It's Yawa. Her full name being Kasumi Yawa. Her full name was revealed in the 3rd Pokémon movie"

So while we can't call her "Misty Waterflower" or "Misty Yawa" (unless someone finds they did somehow carry it over into the 3rd film, I don't remember it) we could say the original name of her anime version is "Kasumi Yawa", right?

I'd prefer if we could narrow down the exact time in the film she says this though, so that those of us curious about verifying could go and check the raw audio to affirm she says this.

Does anyone know if any subtitles reflect this at some point? Perhaps someone with the file could share a six second clip of it on Vine.co if it exists? [[User:Tyciol|Tyciol]] ([[User talk:Tyciol|talk]]) 08:14, 8 November 2015 (UTC)
:Yahoo answers (or any question sites) aren't really the best source for anything.

::I just checked the Japanese version. After Molly asks who Misty is, Misty introduces herself by saying "Sekai no Bishoujo Yawa Kasumi" around 40:26. This roughly translates to her calling herself "The world's most beautiful girl, Yawa Kasumi!". --[[User:DarthNightmaricus|DarthNightmaricus]] ([[User talk:DarthNightmaricus|talk]]) 05:03, 13 August 2016 (UTC)
:::It's "世界の美少女名はカスミ". This is the same way she introduces herself in [[EP002]], about 16 minutes in (after Ash sends out a Rattata). I can't honestly say I hear that correctly in [[M03]], but it would beggar belief to suggest that it's not actually the same thing. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 05:32, 13 August 2016 (UTC)

:Technically, we can't really say it's permanently, either, especially after the reveal the previous episode that she and Brock will be headed over to Alola before the end of the region.

==Williams and Waterflower==
11 May 2014 article https://www.cinefilos.it/cinema-news/2014b/cosplay-mary-jane-watson-misty-pokemon-119045
:Misty Williams (カスミ Kasumi?) o Misty Waterflower, nel mondo dei Pokémon, è la capopalestra di Celestopoli. È presente nei videogiochi, nell’anime Pokémon e nei manga.Il nome “Misty” deriva dalla parola inglese mist (nebbia), così come quello giapponese deriva da 霞み kasumi (nebbia). Il nome francese di Misty, Ondine, si riferisce alle ondine.Il nome coreano è 이슬 (Iseur) che vuol dire rugiada. In cinese è 小霞 (Xiǎo Xiá), probabilmente derivato dal giapponese 霞み kasumi. In giapponese Misty è doppiata da Mayumi Iizuka, in inglese da Rachael Lillis (e successivamente da Michele Knotz) e in italiano da Alessandra Karpoff (in seguito ridoppiata da Benedetta Ponticelli).

Fed into Google Translate...
:Misty Williams (カスミ Kasumi?) Or Misty Waterflower, in the Pokémon world, is Celestopoli's Gym Leader. It is present in video games, in the Pokémon anime and in the manga.The name "Misty" comes from the English word mist (fog), as well as the Japanese word derives from 霞み kasumi (fog). The French name of Misty, Ondine, refers to the ondine.The Korean name is 이슬 (Iseur) which means dew. In Chinese it is 小霞 (Xiǎo Xiá), probably derived from the Japanese 霞み kasumi. In Japanese, Misty is dubbed by Mayumi Iizuka, in English by Rachael Lillis (and later by Michele Knotz) and in Italian by Alessandra Karpoff (later doubled by Benedetta Ponticelli).

Any idea where the Italians are getting these ideas? I haven't watched the Italian dub of Pokemon or anything but it makes me curious if it might've invented a surname for her.

I did notice http://mermaids.wikia.com/wiki/Misty_Williams?oldid=4050 created 6 March 2014 which could have influenced it... 12 February 2004 post at https://www.pokecommunity.com/showpost.php?p=107889&postcount=6 by BlueHiker is more than a decade prior though:
:"Misty Williams" and "Brock Harrison" may or may not have been the work of WB (they appeared around the time of the first movie's release)

I'm assuming this means around 10 November 1999 (English release) and not 18 July 1998 (Japanese release) but I'm curious if we could isolate when these "appeared" and in what context. I remember already having looked into "Brock Harrison" and I think it was mentioned in an interview with Brock's English voice-actor after he stopped working with the company? Could "Williams" have been used in a similar context?

I noticed that https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=196 that under Danish cast it says "Lulu Jacobsen as Misty Williams" so perhaps Denmark appended that surname?

"Waterflower" is also found in this 2015 BuzzFeed article https://www.buzzfeed.com/sarahhenrich/32-reasons-why-misty-is-the-very-best-yr75 after the 6th reason and before the 7th.
:Misty Waterflower, embarrassing people since 1998.

Fancruft or not, backtracing surname allegations like this and how they've spread is kinda interesting.

There is a 2006 discussion https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk%3AMisty_(Pok%C3%A9mon)%2FArchive_1#Misty_Williams which suggests this could simply be derived from episode 7's title "the Waterflowers of Cerulean City", however "Mattychan" then says "I think a Chronicles episode said so too."

Would anyone know what Chronicles episode he could have been referring to? I'd like to check into that. Can anyone find examples prior to [[EP007]] of Japanese slang terms like "Suichūka" being used to refer to female swimmers to contradict the interpretation of that being the sisters' surname? [[User:Tyciol|ty]] ([[User talk:Tyciol|talk]]) 20:19, 30 May 2018 (UTC)
:Google translate is not the most accurate of translators, so it is not a valid source. "Williams" and "Harrison" are either fan made, or used in unofficial medium, i.e. those are not their official last names. Wateflower/Suichuka are just terms used to refer to Misty's sisters.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 06:06, 31 May 2018 (UTC)

==Williams==
https://books.google.ca/books?id=2g8IAQAAMAAJ&dq=%22misty%20williams%22 shows that the name "Misty Williams" appears on the book "Film Review" by James Cameron-Wilson published in 2000.

2003 book "John Willis' Screen World" https://books.google.ca/books?id=ub4zAQAAIAAJ&dq=%22misty%20williams%22 has it on page 322, also.

So however it did originate, it appears to be notable and to have made its way into published literature. [[User:Tyciol|ty]] ([[User talk:Tyciol|talk]]) 02:09, 31 May 2019 (UTC)

::True: while ''Film Review''' is a notable magazine which had been publishing for decades (since 1950) they could certainly get details about films wrong.

:::I've seen a screenshot of the book which I linked above. The determination it's referring to the Pokemon characters is because it immediately follows the mention of Ash Ketchum and Mewtwo. [[User:Tyciol|ty]] ([[User talk:Tyciol|talk]]) 06:05, 4 November 2020 (UTC)

When he was younger, he participated in {{wp|Little League Baseball}}, as mentioned in ''[[EP125|The Little Big Horn]]''.

Prior to joining {{Ash}} at the end of ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'', Flint left the family home to pursue his own ventures. As a result, Brock assumed the responsibility of running the [[Pewter Gym]] while also taking care of {{Brocksib|his nine younger siblings}} on his own.

====As Ash's traveling companion====
In ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'', after Brock awarded Ash the {{Badge|Boulder}}, Flint came forward and confessed who he was. Flint took on the responsibilities of the Pewter Gym and his family, leaving Brock free to {{pkmn|journey}} with Ash and {{an|Misty}}.

Brock only became the Gym Leader because he felt it was his responsibility, and he admitted to Ash that he would rather [[Pokémon training#Caretaking|care]] for Pokémon than {{pkmn|battle}} them. It was his dream to become a great {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}}, and when Flint took back control of the Gym, Brock was allowed to start following this dream.

Brock was also able to meet and make advances towards the many beautiful women he met. At first, he was more casual about approaching women, such as [[Officer Jenny]] in ''[[EP007|The Water Flowers of Cerulean City]]'', and more modest as well, such as when he met [[Melanie]] in ''[[EP010|Bulbasaur and the Hidden Village]]''. However, he became more open and passionate towards almost all single young women as time progressed.
[[File:Brock goodbye EP083.png|thumb|220px|Brock leaving the group to stay with [[Professor Ivy]]]]
Brock took care of a {{TP|Brock|Vulpix}} that belonged to a Breeder named [[Suzie]].

Brock briefly left the show during the [[S02|Orange Islands saga]] to work for [[Professor Ivy]] on [[Valencia Island]] and so is only seen in a couple of cameos in the [[M02|second movie]]. While there, something happened that will probably remain secret as Brock will only huddle and say "that name" whenever he is asked about it. In the English dub of ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', he mentioned his work for her. After this incident, Brock returned to Kanto where he was found by [[Delia Ketchum]], who helped him to regain his strength. Brock then became a rival to [[Mimey]] until he rejoined Ash and Misty as the three traveled to [[Johto]].

In ''[[EP169|Beauty and the Breeder]]'', Brock returned Vulpix to Suzie. Together, they entered Vulpix into the [[Pokémon Beauty Contest]] in [[Bonitaville]].

At the end of Ash and {{ashfr}}' journey in Johto, the three went their separate ways, with Brock's help requested at home by his father.

Upon his return home, Brock was dismayed to find that his mother had returned and commandeered the Gym, turning the Rock-type haven into a brightly decorated {{type|Water}} den. Brock battled her for the honor of Rock types and won, promising his brother [[Forrest]] that he would become Gym Leader someday.
[[File:Brock family.png|thumb|left|220px|Brock's family]]
After that, Brock returned to follow Ash through [[Hoenn]], along with their new friends {{an|May}} and [[Max]], and then through Kanto again as Ash took on the Kanto {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}. He left briefly when ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'' ended in order to visit his home, but quickly returned to travel with Ash and {{an|Dawn}} in [[Sinnoh]]. Near the end of the Sinnoh saga, Brock began to show interest in becoming a {{tc|Doctor|Pokémon Doctor}}, and so, rather than following Ash to [[Unova]] to advise him, decided to remain in Kanto to study.

Brock made an appearance in [[DPS02]], where it was revealed that, while waiting to attend a Pokémon medical school, he had been studying hard at home as well as helping out at the [[Pewter City]] [[Pokémon Center]]. In the episode, he played a major role in helping [[Forrest]] to officially become the Pewter City Gym Leader when it is revealed that his father never informed the [[Pokémon League]] of the title change.

====''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]''====
[[File:BWS01.png|thumb|250px|Brock meeting {{an|Cilan}}]]
Brock reappeared in a fantasy in ''[[BW087|Expedition to Onix Island!]]'', when Dawn learned that {{an|Cilan}} cooks for himself, Ash, and {{an|Iris}}. She said this was similar to the way Brock used to for her and Ash before he decided to become a Pokémon Doctor. He also appeared in flashbacks in ''[[BW088|The Mystery of the Missing Cubchoo!]]'' and ''[[BW116|The Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion!]]''. In addition, he appeared in a fantasy in ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]''.

Brock appeared in person in [[BWS01]], where it was revealed that he had attended the Pokémon medical school and had been sent to [[Johto]] to apprentice under a Pokémon Doctor as part of his training. While passing through the town he bumped into [[Pokémon Connoisseur]] Cilan briefly, then encountered him again when Cilan took his {{TP|Cilan|Pansage}} to be treated at the town's [[Pokémon Center]] after it was injured by a {{p|Gyarados}}. While waiting for it to recover, the two encountered the beginning Trainer [[Ayumi]] who was having trouble teaching her {{p|Pikachu}} to use {{m|Thunderbolt}}; Brock was very impressed with Cilan's talents as Cilan helped Pikachu master the move. Later, when the Gyarados that Cilan encountered earlier started to rampage due to being injured by the {{pkmn|poacher}} [[Amer]], Brock spotted that it was injured, so after Pansage's {{m|Grass Whistle}} put it to {{status|sleep}}, Brock was able to quickly treat it. Afterwards, the two said goodbye to each other and continued their separate travels, having never learned their names or that {{Ash}} was a mutual friend of theirs.

====''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]''====
[[File:Brock and Lillie.png|thumb|left|250px|Brock checking on [[Snowy]]]]
Brock reappeared in several ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]'' episodes, first reappearing with ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]''. Brock reunited with Ash when he and {{ashcl}} arrived at the Kanto airport, where he also used his expertise as a Pokémon {{tc|Doctor}} to diagnose {{an|Lillie}}'s [[Snowy]]'s airsickness as harmless. Brock and Misty then compared Kantonian and {{rf|Alolan}} Pokémon with the class at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]]. Later, Brock and the rest of the group worked together to defeat {{TRT}}, who Brock was angry to find were still up to their old tactics of stealing Pokémon. Afterwards, the group had a party and learned from {{an|Professor Kukui}} that the class had plans to head to [[Cerulean City]] for a Gym battle.
[[File:Brock showcasing his Key Stone.png|thumb|250px|Brock and his Key Stone]]
In ''[[SM043|When Regions Collide!]]'', the group arrived at Cerulean City, where Brock and Misty assisted Professor Kukui's lecture on the mechanics of Gym battles and the [[Pokémon League]]. Brock defeated Lillie and {{an|Sophocles}} in a [[Multi Battle]], then used his [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{TP|Brock|Steelix}} to defeat {{an|Kiawe}} and his {{TP|Kiawe|Turtonator}}. He and Misty then bade Ash and his classmates farewell and accepted Ash's offer to visit [[Alola]] sometime in the future.

In ''[[SM102|Alola, Alola!]]'', Brock accompanied Misty to Alola and met up with Ash and his classmates. Stopping by the [[Pokémon Center]], he flirted with Nurse Joy, only to be stopped by Misty. He remained behind to assist Nurse Joy as she treated a {{p|Yungoos}}.

In ''[[SM103|Heart of Fire! Heart of Stone!]]'', Brock and Misty accompanied Ash and his classmates to [[Akala Island]]. They visited [[Paniola Ranch‎‎]], where a {{p|Kangaskhan}} was threatening the Pokémon after its baby was injured. Using a {{TP|Brock|Comfey}} that Nurse Joy had given him, Brock was able to treat the baby Kangaskhan's injury. Later, upon meeting [[island kahuna|Kahuna]] [[Olivia]], Brock immediately fell in love with her and they agreed to a battle. Brock used Sudowoodo against her {{p|Lycanroc}}, but the battle was interrupted when Team Rocket attempted to steal the Pokémon. Brock teamed up with Olivia to turn Lycanroc's {{m|Continental Crush}} into the shape of a heart, which defeated Team Rocket. At the end of the episode, Brock returned to Kanto alongside Misty.

====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''====

Brock's silhouette appeared in ''[[JN018|Destination: Coronation!]]'' alongside the other Kanto Gym Leaders as the narrator explained how the Gym Leader system works in the [[Pokémon world]].
[[File:Brock JN.png|thumb|250px|Brock in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'']]
Brock was briefly referenced by Dawn in ''[[JN074|Nightfall? Nightmares!]]'', when she talked about her journeys to [[Chloe]]. He reappeared in a brief flashback in [[JN075|the following episode]], when Dawn explained to Chloe how she got experience from him with treating injured Pokémon. Ash also called him out by name when he and Dawn were asked about how they know each other.

Brock reappeared in ''[[JNS02|The Arceus Chronicles (Part 2)]]'', where it was revealed he was working in the [[Oreburgh City]] [[Pokémon Center]] at the time, with {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}} and {{TP|Brock|Blissey}} as his assistants. He later joined Ash, Dawn, and [[Goh]] in helping to stop [[Team Galactic]]'s plan to open a hole in space-time to retrieve [[Cyrus]].

In ''[[JN106|Radio Lulled the Mischievous Stars!]]'', Brock was seen listening to Team Rocket's radio show while camping out in a forest. During the broadcast of the show, a letter he sent was read by [[Jessie]]. Due to Jessie using a nickname, Brock didn't recognize her, instead feeling happy that the host whose voice he had fallen in love with was reading his mail.

He reappeared in a flashback in ''[[JN114|Friends, Rivals, Lend Me Your Spirit!]]''.

In [[JN132]], Brock appeared alongside {{an|Cilan}} and {{an|Alexa}} watching Ash's [[Masters Eight Tournament]] match against {{an|Leon}}.

In [[JN139]], it was revealed that Brock had traveled to [[Galar]] where he started working in a diner. After reuniting with Ash, {{an|Misty}}, and Cilan, Brock was controlled by a wild {{p|Hatterene}} that absorbed the negative feelings he was experiencing after a heartbreak. With the help of his friends, Brock managed to free himself, and right after saying goodbye to Cilan, decided to once again accompany Ash and Misty on their journey.

====Other appearances====
Brock made a cameo appearance in the ending credits of ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]''.

Brock reappeared in ''[[M22|Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution]]'', where he had largely the same role as in ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''.

===Character===
[[File:Brock preparing Pokémon food.png|thumb|left|220px|Brock preparing [[Pokémon food]]]]
Prior to joining {{Ash}} on his {{pkmn|journey}}, Brock had become increasingly frustrated and harsh towards challengers as a result of his responsibilities as both the [[Pewter City]] [[Gym Leader]] and the main caretaker for his {{Brocksib|nine younger siblings}}. Even while traveling, he would think of his family, returning home on several occasions like in ''[[HS01|A Family That Battles Together Stays Together!]]''.

Brock is noticeably mature, wise, and levelheaded, often acting as an older brother and caretaker to the other characters and a voice of reason in disputes. He will usually place others before himself and will support his friends even against his better judgment or at his own expense. Brock always carries books and maps with him, and thus is usually the character who knows where the group is headed and what they can do when they get there. However, in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'', this role was mostly taken over by [[Max]], who owned a [[PokéNav]].
[[File:Max Brock ears.png|thumb|220px|Max pulling Brock's ears]]
He is renowned for his domestic abilities like sewing, vacuuming, and, most notably, cooking, which Ash and the others always enjoy without fail. The capacity of Brock's [[Bag]] is endless, as seen in ''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]'', where it is capable of containing full tea-sets, tables, and cooking utensils. He also carries a lot of other supplies, such as [[Potion]]s and [[Pokémon food]], though he has to make pit stops in towns so he could restock the group's supplies.

Despite this, all of his maturity and rationality leaves him completely at the sight of a beautiful woman, and he is extremely passionate over the prospect of finding the girl of his dreams, though he is usually never successful in wooing a woman. Despite this, a few women have been known to show interest in him, such as [[Wilhomena]], [[Temacu]], [[Natalie]], [[Lucy]], [[Holly]], {{OBP|Autumn|DP062}}, [[Narissa]], [[Lizabeth]], and [[Olivia]]. Despite his failures, Brock remains determined to find a girl to start a relationship with, and has indicated several times he would stop traveling with Ash and stay with the girl if this happened. This behavior tends to wear on the nerves of other characters, and Misty and Max have both commonly dragged Brock away from women by his ear. In addition, some of Brock's own Pokémon, most notably {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}}, have attacked him for getting too flirtatious with women.

He also carries a small blue journal containing information on every girl he meets, referring to it in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'' as his "Little Blue Book of Babes". It most recently appeared in ''[[SM103|Heart of Fire! Heart of Stone!]]'' and featured [[Island kahuna|Kahuna]] [[Olivia]].
[[File:Brock and Nurse Joy.png|thumb|250px|Brock flirting with Nurse Joy]]
His love of the [[Officer Jenny]] and [[Nurse Joy]] family lines, in particular, can be overbearing and embarrassing for his friends. Brock can also tell whether they are real or impostors, as well as make out subtle physical differences between them. This "ability" has been used multiple times in the series.

Brock was not shown to {{pkmn|battle}} often in spite of his experience as a former Gym Leader, though he happily accepts challenges from girls like [[Miki]], [[Molly Hale]], and Olivia. Instead, he tended to advise Ash on battle strategies and keenly watched matches from the sidelines, seeing the knowledge as valuable to understanding a Pokémon in its entirety.

His goals have played a passive role in his development, and Brock's overall role has generally been one as support for other main characters, usually contributing more in terms of wisdom and comedic antics than the action of the series. Unlike other characters, who aspire to achieve and excel in competitive fields like [[Pokémon training]] and [[Pokémon Contest]]s, his initial aim to become a great {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}} was a quiet one and thus did not get showcased frequently. Brock's experience with {{TP|Brock|Vulpix}} taught him a lot about conditioning and nutrition, while further knowledge came from raising {{TP|Brock|Happiny}} and {{TP|Brock|Bonsly}}. He questioned whether he was actually pursuing his dreams like his friends near the end of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'', and ultimately decided to become a Pokémon {{tc|Doctor}} instead.

===Pokémon===
As [[Gym]] tradition dictated, Brock's first Pokémon, {{TP|Brock|Onix}} and {{TP|Brock|Geodude}}, were {{t|Rock}} [[types]]. However, once he was able to leave the [[Pewter Gym]] and go on a {{pkmn|journey}}, he has dedicated himself to learn about how to care for a variety of Pokémon. As he has stated in ''[[DP125|Battling A Cute Drama!]]'', his philosophy is that the important thing about being a Pokémon Trainer is the [[friendship|bond]] between Trainer and Pokémon.

His Pokémon thus tend to be an eclectic mix of types and dispositions. However, all of his Pokémon tend to have strong bonds with Brock and have been shown to be very capable battlers, despite the fact that Brock does not go out of his way to {{pkmn|training|train}} his Pokémon. Brock {{pkmn|groomer|grooms}} not only his Pokémon but also those of his friends with whom he travels.

This is a listing of Brock's Pokémon. Pokémon listed as "on hand" have been seen during ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''.

==In the games==
[[File:Pokémon Puzzle League Brock and Vulpix.png|thumb|250px|Brock in Pokémon Puzzle League ]]
===In the spin-off games===
====Pokémon Puzzle League====
In [[Pokémon Puzzle League]], Brock is one of the opponents in the 1P Stadium mode, and one of the characters available in the 2P Stadium mode.

==In the manga==
[[File:Brock AP.png|thumb|220px|Brock in Ash & Pikachu]]
===Ash & Pikachu===
Brock appears as a main character of [[Ash & Pikachu]], similarly to his role in the {{pkmn|anime}}.

He temporarily left the group in ''[[SP17|Let's Save Pikachu!!]]'', but rejoined {{Ash}} in ''[[SP18|The Keeper Of The Tree, Treecko!!]]''.

===The Electric Tale of Pikachu===
[[File:Brock EToP.png|thumb|220px|Brock in The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]
Brock is a frequently recurring character in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]. Like the anime, he is a traveling companion of {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|EToP|Ash}} and {{an|Misty}}.

Brock first appears in ''[[ET02|Play Misty For Me]]'', where Ash challenges him for the {{Badge|Boulder}}. After defeating Brock and earning the Badge, Ash leaves [[Pewter City]] and continues his journey alone.

Brock reappears in ''[[ET04|Haunting My Dreams]]'', meeting Ash by coincidence in [[Saffron City]]. He becomes a steady traveling companion of Ash in ''[[ET05|The Human Race and the Pokémon Race]]'', though he separates from Ash in ''[[ET11|Days of Gloom and Glory]]'' while he prepares for the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]].

Like the anime, Brock is the Leader of the [[Pewter Gym]], but he takes a break from his duties as [[Gym Leader]] to travel. Unlike the anime, however, he does not hand control of the Gym to his {{ka|Flint|father}} or his {{TP|Brock|siblings}}. Instead, he closes the Gym completely while he travels. Brock has a weakness for pretty girls such as [[the Sensational Sisters]], and he is the only character that can tell the many [[Nurse Joy]]s and [[Officer Jenny]]s apart.

===Magical Pokémon Journey===
[[File:Ash and Brock MPJ.png|thumb|220px|Ash and Brock in Magical Pokémon Journey]]
Brock, along with {{Ash}} and {{an|Misty}}, made cameo appearances in bonus chapters. In those, Brock and company have mistakenly wandered into the world Magical Pokémon Journey is set in. The bonus chapters chronicle their attempts to return to their own world (of the {{pkmn|anime}}) and their encounters with various aspects of the Magical Pokémon Journey canon which differ from the anime's canon (such as the use of [[Poké Ball]]s).
{{-}}

===Movie adaptations===
[[File:DP series trio.png|thumb|220px|Brock with his friends]]

==Trivia==
* Brock is among the longest-running main characters in the anime, having been present in nearly every episode between ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'' and ''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]'', with the notable exception of the {{DL|List of original series episodes|Orange League arc|Orange Islands saga}}, the [[EP274|final original series episode]], the first three episodes of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'', and the [[DP001|first episode of ''Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl'']]. His tenure is ranked under {{Ash}}, {{AP|Pikachu}}, the [[Team Rocket trio]], and {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}.
[[File:Brock Memories.png|thumb|250px|Some [[Photography|old memories]] of Brock with his traveling companions]]
* Most official sources do not give Brock a last name. However, several sources suggest that in the anime, his last name is Harrison. In the July 2006 issue of [[K-Zone]] Magazine, [[Eric Stuart]] was interviewed, and he said Brock's last name is '''Harrison'''.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20061216014724/http://www.totalpokemon.com/anime/stuartview1</ref>
** In ''[[EP153|Love, Totodile Style]]'', Brock confirmed that he does indeed have a last name, although did not give it.
* Brock captured a new Pokémon sooner after his debut than any other main character, even {{Ash}}, by capturing {{TP|Brock|Zubat}} in ''[[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]'', exactly one episode after [[EP005|his debut]].
* Brock has been shown to be able to identify when women are actually {{an|cross-dressing}} men in disguise by having a peculiar lack of attraction to them. He's also able to do the opposite. A significant exception to this is Ash, who in the guise of "Ashley" was able to fool Brock.
* Brock has owned four Pokémon [[List of cross-generational evolution families|whose evolutions debuted in a different generation]] than that Pokémon ({{TP|Brock|Onix}}, {{TP|Brock|Golbat}}, {{TP|Brock|Bonsly}}, and {{TP|Brock|Happiny}}). All of them have since [[Evolution|evolved]].
* ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]'' is the only series with Ash as a main character where Brock does not appear and is never mentioned.
** However, the ear pull {{an|Misty}} and [[Max]] did on Brock was referenced by {{an|Shauna}} and {{an|Tierno}} in ''[[XY138|The First Day of the Rest of Your Life!]]''.
* Brock is the first of Ash's friends to have obtained a new Pokémon within the main series after retiring from the main cast.
* Brock is the only one of Ash's male friends to have more than one main outfit.
* Brock ranked first place in a 20th anniversary poll leading up to ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'' concerning former cast members viewers want to see return.<ref>https://s.animeanime.jp/article/2017/05/11/33827.html</ref>
* In ''[[JNS02|The Arceus Chronicles (Part 2)]]'', Brock is seen driving a mini-plane of sorts, an indication that at some point after his adventures with Ash, he may have acquired a driver's license.
* Brock is tied with [[Goh]] for having met the most mutual friends of Ash, at 12.

===Hidaka interview about Brock's short absence from the anime===
There had been some debate between members of the fanbase in regards to why Brock was removed from the main cast during the Orange Islands arc, why [[Tracey Sketchit]] was created, and why Brock returned later. In an [http://www.pokebeach.com/news/0708/second-pokemon-interview-with-masamitsu-hidaka-many-interesting-points interview] with former Pokémon anime director and storyboard artist [[Masamitsu Hidaka]], he stated his own reason why Brock was removed from the cast and why he eventually returned. He revealed that the true reason they replaced Brock is because, once they realized Pokémon was going global, there was a chance that Americans, if not anyone else outside of Japan, would view Brock as a racist stereotype because of his eyes (even though there wasn't an actual complaint yet). So they created a "tall, Anglo-Saxon looking person to be on the safe side". They later replaced Tracey with Brock again once they realized that no one really cared as to what Brock looks like, and actually enjoyed his character. However, this was only stated by Hidaka and not by any other staff member.

'''Misty''' (Japanese: '''カスミ''' ''Kasumi'') is an aspiring [[Type expert|Water Pokémon Master]] and a {{ashfr|traveling partner}} of {{Ash}}. She is also the [[Gym Leader]] of the [[Cerulean Gym]], handing out the {{Badge|Cascade}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat her. She specializes in {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

Misty journeyed with Ash through [[Kanto]], the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]], and [[Johto]], sharpening her skills as a Water-type Trainer along the way. Eventually, she decided to return home to preside over her family's Gym. After watching Ash in the [[Masters Eight Tournament]], she was inspired to go on another journey and left the Gym under her sisters' care. Upon her travels, she reunited and resumed traveling with Ash in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series|Pocket Monsters: Aim to Be a Pokémon Master]]''.

==In the anime==
===History===
====Pre-series====
[[File:Baby Misty.png|thumb|left|220px|Baby Misty]]
Not much is known about Misty's early childhood other than her technically being one of the [[Gym Leader]]s alongside the [[Sensational Sisters|three sisters]]. When she was very young, an encounter with a {{p|Gyarados}} at the [[Cerulean Gym]] led to her being frightened of them. In ''[[EP148|No Big Woop!]]'', it was revealed that Misty used to play the tambourine as a toddler. Misty often received hand-me-down toys and clothes from her older sisters, who seemed to have been favored in their family, as seen during flashbacks in ''[[EP052|Princess vs. Princess]]''. Bullying and exclusion by her sisters led Misty to leave home and effectively leave her sisters as the Gym Leaders prior to ''[[EP001|Pokémon, I Choose You!]]'', choosing to prove herself as a {{type|Water}} [[Pokémon Master]].

====[[Original series]]====
[[File:Misty Burnt Bike.png|thumb|220px|Misty carrying her burnt bike]]
Misty debuted in ''[[EP001|Pokémon, I Choose You!]]'', [[fishing]] in a nearby river on {{rt|1|Kanto}}. As her fishing rod snagged something, she managed to pull out not a {{type|Water}} Pokémon, but {{Ash}} and his injured {{AP|Pikachu}}, who were being chased by a flock of {{p|Spearow}}. After pointing Ash in the direction of the nearest [[Pokémon Center]], the one in [[Viridian City]], he borrowed her [[bicycle]], saying that he would return it someday.

In ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'', Misty appeared in the Pokémon Center after Ash dropped off his Pikachu, holding her charred bike and demanding a new one right away. She continued following Ash as he headed for [[Pewter City]], telling him in ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'' that she would continue following him until she was paid back for the bike.

Consequently, Misty traveled around the [[Kanto]] [[region]], the [[Orange Archipelago]], and the [[Johto]] region with Ash. Earlier in the series, she mentioned getting her bicycle replaced several times. By the end of the [[Indigo League]], however, Misty seemed to have forgotten about the bicycle, indicating that her real reason for following along with Ash was that she simply wanted to remain with her friends. While traveling with Ash, Misty often acted as his coach in [[Pokémon battle]]s.

Ash and Misty were later joined by {{an|Brock}}, from ''Showdown in Pewter City'' to ''[[EP083|Poké Ball Peril]]'' and again from the end of ''[[EP116|The Rivalry Revival]]'' to the end of the original series, and {{Tracey}} from ''[[EP084|The Lost Lapras]]'' to ''The Rivalry Revival''. When she and Brock were both traveling with Ash, Misty would pull Brock away by his ear when he approached a beautiful woman. This began in ''[[EP036|The Bridge Bike Gang]]'' and ''[[EP069|Lights, Camera, Quack-tion]]'', and became far more frequent while they were in Johto.
[[File:Misty Daisy Violet Lily.png|thumb|220px|left|Misty with Daisy, Violet, and Lily]]
In ''[[EP007|The Water Flowers of Cerulean City]]'', Misty challenged Ash to a [[Gym]] battle after her sisters at the Cerulean Gym nearly gave Ash a {{badge|Cascade}} without a battle and to prove she was as good a Pokémon Trainer as her sisters. Ash and Misty each defeated one Pokémon, but {{TRT}} interrupted the match when they tried to steal the Gym's Water Pokémon. Misty's sisters awarded Ash a Badge when Pikachu saved the Gym with its {{m|Thunderbolt}}, over Misty's objections.

In ''[[EP019|Tentacool & Tentacruel]]'', while waiting for the next ferry to the mainland, Misty saw a large group of {{p|Tentacool}} and a {{pkmn2|giant}} {{p|Tentacruel}} attacking [[Porta Vista]] after human activity destroyed their homes. She convinced the Tentacool and Tentacruel to stop attacking the port, and the humans would no longer occupy Tentacool and Tentacruel's homes in the reef, and caught a {{TP|Misty|Horsea}} as well.

Misty became the first main character to look after a [[baby Pokémon]] in ''[[EP050|Who Gets to Keep Togepi?]]'', when the egg that Ash had found in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'' hatches into a {{TP|Misty|Togepi}}. It imprinted on Misty as its mother when she became the first thing it saw, even after Ash won a tournament to decide who got to keep it. Misty would carry Togepi around without a Poké Ball for the rest of the series.

In ''[[EP103|Misty Meets Her Match]]'', Misty was given a chance to stay in the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]] when [[Rudy]], the Gym Leader on [[Trovita Island]], offered to let her stay with him. Misty considered the offer, but she ultimately chose to keep traveling with Ash, and supported him in his battle against Rudy.

In ''[[EP168|Hook, Line, and Stinker]]'', Misty competed in the annual [[Seaking Catching Competition]]. After Misty and [[Andreas]] both caught {{p|Seaking}} that weighed 55 kg., Misty and Andreas battled each other in order to break the tie. Misty won the competition after her {{TP|Misty|Poliwhirl}} defeated Andreas' {{p|Poliwrath}}.
[[File:Misty and Trinity.png|220px|thumb|Misty and Trinity]]
Misty participated in the [[Whirl Cup]] alongside Ash from ''[[EP215|Octillery the Outcast]]'' to ''[[EP217|The Perfect Match!]]''. She defeated Ash in the second round and made it to the best eight of the competition before she narrowly lost to [[Trinity]].

In ''[[EP256|Just Add Water]]'', Misty met a Water-type Trainer named [[Dorian]], after discovering that he is a fan of her sisters, Misty challenged him to a battle. After defeating Team Rocket and ending her battle with Dorian in a draw, Dorian was impressed with Misty's battle skills.

In ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]'', Misty returned to the Viridian City Pokémon Center and learned that her bicycle was repaired by the city's [[Nurse Joy]]. Misty was shown to be sad that she no longer had the convenient excuse to travel with Ash — especially when she saw that Ash hadn't learned that and had assumed she followed him because of her bike. In addition, her sisters {{an|Daisy}}, {{ka|Lily}}, and {{an|Violet}}, called Misty at this time to tell her they were going on a world tour, and needed her to return to Cerulean and watch the Gym in their absence. However, Misty saw how Ash truly cared for her when he saved her from a trio of [[Invincible Pokémon Brothers|Pokémon gangsters]]. Misty wanted to stay with Ash, but felt it was her responsibility to take over the Gym, which would be shut down if it was left unattended.

Upon the return of her sisters, Misty remained the sole Cerulean [[Gym Leader]]. Since their return, only Daisy appears to spend any significant amount of time at the Gym. While working in the Gym, Misty sometimes receives help from Tracey when he is either visiting or running an errand for {{an|Professor Oak}}.

====''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]''====
[[File:Misty AG.png|thumb|220px|Misty and {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'']]
Misty was first mentioned by Ash in ''[[AG007|Tree's a Crowd]]''.

She reappeared from ''[[AG044|The Princess and the Togepi]]'' to ''[[AG045|A Togepi Mirage!]]'', where she met up with Ash and Brock again in [[Hoenn]], along with meeting {{an|May}} and [[Max]] for the first time. In ''A Togepi Mirage'', her {{P|Togepi}} [[Evolution|evolved]] into a {{TP|Misty|Togetic}} and helped defend the [[Togepi Paradise]]. Towards the end of the episode, Togetic decided to stay with the other Togepi to protect them, sharing one last tearful moment with Misty.

She watched Ash compete in the [[Ever Grande Conference]] in ''[[AG126|Saved by the Beldum]]'' and ''[[AG128|Shocks and Bonds]]''. She then traveled with Ash from ''[[AG132|The Scheme Team]]'' to ''[[AG134|A Real Cleffa-Hanger]]'', and was later invited to the [[Mirage Mansion]] by [[Dr. Yung]] in ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]''. She later appeared in flashbacks in ''[[AG189|Gathering the Gang of Four]]''.

It was revealed in ''[[HS02|Cerulean Blues]]'' that Misty feared {{p|Gyarados}}, having climbed into one's mouth as a baby, and that she doubted her own ability to run Cerulean Gym alone. It wasn't until she selflessly protected her {{TP|Misty|Gyarados}} from a {{m|Poison Sting}} assault that she was not only able to conquer her fears but regain the confidence to run the Gym with a now-obedient Gyarados.

====''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''====
Misty never physically appeared in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'', but she was referenced a couple of times. [[Misty's special lure|Her special lure]] appeared in ''[[DP034|Buizel Your Way out of This!]]'', and she appeared in a picture on {{an|Brock}}'s memory wall in the special episode [[DPS02]].

====''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]''====
Misty appeared in a flashback in ''[[BW116|The Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion!]]'' as Ash recalled the important moments of his and {{AP|Charizard}}'s friendship. She was mentioned and reappeared in a fantasy in ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]''.

====''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]''====
[[File:Misty showcasing her Key Stone.png|thumb|250px|left|Misty and her Key Stone]]
Misty made recurring appearances during ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]'', starting with ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]''. Misty and Brock reunited with Ash when he and {{ashcl}} arrived at the Kanto airport, then compared Kantonian and {{rf|Alolan}} Pokémon with the class at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|Professor Oak's lab]]. Later, Misty and the rest of the group worked together to defeat {{TRT}}, who Misty was angry to find were still stealing Pokémon. Afterwards, the group had a party and learned from {{an|Professor Kukui}} that the class had plans to head to [[Cerulean City]] for a Gym battle.

In ''[[SM043|When Regions Collide!]]'', the group arrived at Cerulean City, where Misty and Brock assisted Professor Kukui's lecture on the mechanics of Gym battles and the [[Pokémon League]]. Misty defeated {{an|Lana}} and {{an|Mallow}} in a [[Multi Battle]], but she and her [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{TP|Misty|Gyarados}} lost against Ash and his {{AP|Pikachu}}. She and Brock then bade Ash and his classmates farewell and accepted Ash's offer to visit Alola sometime in the future.
[[File:Lana and Misty.png|thumb|250px|Misty and Lana]]
During the time that passed after the visit to Alola, Lana and Misty became close friends, exchanging messages with each other.

In ''[[SM102|Alola, Alola!]]'', Misty and Brock visited Ash and his classmates in [[Alola]] after Lana invited them. She also explained that her sisters took charge, and implied that Cerulean Gym was facing enough challengers that she simply needed a break. Whilst Brock remained at the Pokémon Center, Misty accompanied Ash and the others to [[Treasure Island]], where they enjoyed [[Mantine Surf]]ing and playing with the Pokémon before the villainous obstacle Team Rocket trio attempted to steal the {{p|Mantine}}. However, with the help of Gyarados and several [[Z-Moves]], she and the others managed to blast Team Rocket off, foiling their every plan.

In ''[[SM103|Heart of Fire! Heart of Stone!]]'', Misty accompanied Ash, his classmates, and Brock to [[Akala Island]] where they visited [[Paniola Ranch]] and later met [[island kahuna]] [[Olivia]]. At the end of the episode, Brock and Misty left Alola to return to Kanto, although not before expressing interest in visiting Alola again.

====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''====
In ''[[JN018|Destination: Coronation!]]'', Misty's silhouette was alongside the other Kanto Gym Leaders as the narrator explained how the Gym Leader system works in the [[Pokémon world]].

In [[JN132]], Misty appeared watching Ash's [[Masters Eight Tournament]] match against {{an|Leon}} alongside Psyduck and Gyarados at the Cerulean Gym. During the battle's climax, Misty is shown to be anxious as Pikachu reaches his limit.
[[File:Misty and Goh.png|left|thumb|250px|Misty meeting [[Goh]] and his Inteleon]]
In [[JN136]], Misty is seen meeting [[Goh]] and interacting with his {{TP|Goh|Inteleon}} at the Cerulean Gym.
[[File:Misty JN.png|thumb|250px|Misty in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'']]
In [[JN138]], Misty reunited with Ash, stopping him from trying to catch a {{TP|Misty|Clauncher}} that she had been trying to catch. After a trying to catch Clauncher through fishing, Misty and Ash had a battle to decide who would catch Clauncher. Misty used her Politoed to battle against {{AP|Corphish}} and after a tough battle, Politoed emerged victorious, allowing Misty to add Clauncher to her team. Afterward, Misty decided to rejoin Ash on his journey. She also explained that she decided to go on a new journey, and left the gym under the care of her sisters.

In [[JN139]], Misty and Ash traveled to [[Galar]]. After reuniting with {{an|Brock}}, they were helped by {{an|Cilan}} to save Brock from the mind control of a wild {{p|Hatterene}}. After everything was resolved, Brock joined the group and they said goodbye to Cilan who went back to travel alone.

====Other appearances====
Misty made a cameo appearance in the ending credits of ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]''.

Misty reappeared in ''[[M22|Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution]]'', where she had largely the same role as in ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''.

===Character===
[[File:Mistys fear of bugs.png|thumb|250px|Misty showing her fear of Bug Pokémon]]
Misty is a girl who can be sweet and optimistic at times, but she is best known for her vocal frustrations and seething anger. Misty also tended to get very angry whenever {{Ash}} got their party lost, especially in forests. She is very extreme in most of her moods, and she abruptly switches between her emotions. However, as time went on, Misty mellowed and her hyperactive personality was reduced significantly by the end of the [[original series]].

She is also picky, sensitive, nosy, and grumpy about love. There are many episodes where she is seen getting along with the younger siblings of the family, namely [[Mikey]], [[Sakura]], and [[Max]]. This stems from the fact that she understands what it's like to be the youngest because she has three older sisters.

She is shown to have a somewhat vain side to her, often referring to herself as an "internationally known beauty" ('''世界の美少女''' ''the world's most beautiful girl'') in introductions to others. However, this trait was mostly excluded from the [[dub]] until ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]''.

[[File:Misty and Ash Oshawott.png|left|thumb|250px|Misty and [[Ash's Oshawott]]]]
Her goals are not as clear as those of the other main characters, but her main interest is {{pkmn|training}} {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with the dream of becoming a Water [[Pokémon Master]]. Misty aggressively defends the Water-type against critics as seen in ''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]'' and when she first met {{t|Fire}} enthusiast [[Macy]]. She considers all members of the Water-type to be "cute", though her positive opinion on {{p|Tentacool}} in ''[[EP019|Tentacool and Tentacruel]]'' divided Ash and {{an|Brock}}. [[Fishing]] is one of her hobbies, and she even has a {{TP|Misty|special lure}}, which she designed to look like herself. In ''[[AG187|The Unbeatable Lightness of Seeing!]]'', she sent one to Ash as a gift. Sometime before she left for Kanto at the end of ''[[SM103|Heart of Fire! Heart of Stone!]]'', Misty gave Lana another one as thanks for inviting her and Brock to visit Alola.

Misty's battle style was first showcased in ''[[EP007|The Water Flowers of Cerulean City]]'', where she challenged Ash. She had her {{TP|Misty|Staryu}} dive into the water to wash off {{AP|Butterfree}}'s [[Status condition|status]]-inducing [[move]]s. Misty has developed a more rounded battle strategy since becoming the full-time Cerulean Gym Leader, mirroring many of Ash's own methods. During ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'', Misty was shown to become increasingly confident and focused on her role as the Cerulean [[Gym Leader]]. ''[[HS02|Cerulean Blues]]'' saw her overcome her fear and help calm a raging {{TP|Misty|Gyarados}} which now serves as one of her main Pokémon, while Misty learned about the Gym Badge-making process and began to appreciate her role in ''[[HS05|The Blue Badge of Courage]]''. She continues to improve her Pokémon as seen with {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}}'s mastery of {{m|Water Gun}} and her {{TP|Misty|Corsola}}'s strong defenses make for a tireless battle.

The one Pokémon [[type]] that Misty cannot stand are {{type|Bug}}s, as shown in ''[[EP003|Ash Catches a Pokémon!]]'' and more recently in ''[[SM102|Alola, Alola!]]''. The only Bug-type Pokémon Misty is not afraid of are the kinds that she deems "cute" or "pretty", like {{p|Ledyba}} and {{p|Butterfree}}, some belonging to her friends, like [[Tracey's Venonat]], or ones that don't look like bugs, such as {{p|Pineco}}. However, Bug Pokémon are only one of three things Misty strongly dislikes, the other two being {{wp|carrot}}s and {{wp|Bell pepper|peppers}}.

Her catchphrase when sending out a Pokémon is ('''いくわよ！マーイステディ！''' ''Go! My Steady!''). Like her "beauty" title, this was not carried over into the dub until ''Sun & Moon''.

===Pokémon===
Either through the tradition of her family's Gym or merely her love of them, Misty prefers to train {{type|Water}} Pokémon. She usually bases her choice of Pokémon to train by looks, preferring Pokémon that she thinks of as "cute" over ones that she thinks are "ugly," but is willing to overcome such differences.

Her love of Water Pokémon stems from the fact that they are extremely flexible in battle, meaning that they can easily adapt to the opponent, as she stated in ''[[EP240|Some Like It Hot]]''. Since becoming a Gym Leader, she has overcome her fear of {{p|Gyarados}} and continues to learn more about caring and battling with Water Pokémon as challengers come to the [[Cerulean Gym]].

As an experienced Water-type Pokémon Trainer, Misty has access to many powerful Pokémon and mechanics such as [[Mega Evolution]]. This allows her to be able to battle other powerful Trainers like [[Dorian]], [[Trinity]], or Ash in equal conditions.

This is a listing of Misty's Pokémon. Pokémon listed as "on hand" have been seen since her return to the main cast in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''.

She presumably also has access to any other Pokémon at the Gym, such as {{OBP|Dewgong|Cerulean Gym}}, [[Caserin and Luverin|Luverin]], {{DL|The Sensational Sisters|Unknown|Seaking, Goldeen, Shellder, and Seel}}, due to being the Gym Leader.

Psyduck used Confusion on a wave which Golduck rode and was about to crash into Psyduck until {{TRT}} appeared and nabbed Marina's Pokémon. He was used with Marina's {{p|Starmie}} to get them back and Golduck throws [[Team Rocket's mechas|Team Rocket's sub]] onto the beach.

He was later used in the last part of the battle between Marina and her Starmie, he gets battered with Starmie's {{m|Tackle}} and {{m|Bubble}} but shatters Starmie's {{m|Light Screen}} with another Hyper Beam fainting it. Misty tries to recall Golduck but her Psyduck pops out. Golduck then runs off and shows off his skills to a bunch of girls.

===The Electric Tale of Pikachu===
[[File:Misty EToP.png|thumb|200px|Misty in The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]
Misty is a recurring character in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]. She first appears in ''[[ET01|Pikachu, I See You]]''. She takes a liking to {{OBP|Ash's Pikachu|EToP}} and tells {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|EToP|Ash}} about what it takes to be a professional Pokémon Trainer. Ash steals her [[bicycle]] later to rush Pikachu to a [[Pokémon Center]] after being injured by a flock of {{p|Spearow}}.

She travels with Ash for the following chapter, ''[[ET02|Play Misty For Me]]'', expecting Ash to repay her for her bike. Later, when Ash arrives in [[Cerulean City]], he battles her instead of [[The Sensational Sisters]]. Misty awards Ash the {{Badge|Cascade}} when his {{AP|Fearow}} takes back his {{AP|hat}} from Misty's head.

Misty disappears from the manga until Ash and {{an|Brock}} bump into her at the [[Nomads Independence Day]] festival in ''[[ET05|The Human Race and the Pokémon Race]]''. After this, she is a common traveling companion to Ash and Brock, though they still part ways at times, such as when Misty and [[Duplica]] search for wild {{p|Ditto}} in ''[[ET07|Pikachu's Excellent Adventure]]''.

==Trivia==
* Misty is said to be 10 in the anime,<ref name="age"/> though in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], she is 12 years old.
* Misty is the first of [[Ash's friends]] to challenge a [[Gym]] (albeit unofficially), since she challenged and tied with [[Dorian]], [[Gym Leader|Leader]] of the unofficial {{DL|Gym|Coastline Gym}}, in ''[[EP256|Just Add Water]]''.
* Misty is the first main character to be seen owning a [[Generation II]] Pokémon, that Pokémon being {{TP|Misty|Togepi}}.
* Only Misty's Japanese name, meaning {{wp|baby's breath}}, references a floral connection shared with her older sisters Daisy, Violet, and Lily. In all other languages, Misty's name references water.
* Misty is the first victim of the recurring gag in the anime where Ash's Pikachu shocks a main female character's [[bicycle]] or the character herself at the beginning of each series.
* Misty is the female traveling companion to have appeared in the most amount of episodes, with 289.
* Misty is the first of Ash's female traveling companions to hold a full team of six Pokémon at any point in time (in her case, twice). [[Dawn (anime)|Dawn]] would be the only other female character to accomplish this.
* Out of all of Ash's friends, Misty holds the record of having the most Pokémon [[party|on hand]] at the time of her debut and the largest number of Pokémon with unexplained origins, with three each.
* Out of all of Ash's female friends, Misty has owned the most Pokémon, with 12.
* Out of all of Ash's friends who have returned to the series after their departures, Misty is the only one who has had new [[Misty's Gyarados|team]] [[Misty's Azurill|additions]] on her return (not counting evolutions).
* Both Misty and [[Jessie]] were voiced by [[Rachael Lillis]], and then switched to [[Michele Knotz]] when the 4Kids dub ended in 2006.
* Former director and storyboard artist of the [[Pokémon anime]], [[Masamitsu Hidaka]], stated in [http://www.pokebeach.com/news/0708/interview-with-masamitsu-hidaka-at-anime-expo an interview] that Misty will not return as a main character in future seasons, but she will continue to make guest appearances like she has in the past. He compared it to how {{an|May}} came back for the [[Wallace Cup]] in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'', but said since [[Pokémon Contest]]s "aren't really her thing," it would be for something else like a battle.
* According to ''[[Pocket Monsters: The Animation]]'', Misty's parents abandoned their children and the Cerulean Gym due to the harsh regulations for Gym duties, thus forcing her and her sisters to run the Cerulean Gym until she left at 10 years old. She also went to school at a girls-only school, with the closest she had to any significant encounter with someone of the opposite sex before meeting Ash was during the third grade where she lured a boy behind the gymnasium to tell him off for picking on one of her friends and beating him up.
* Out of all of Ash's friends who temporarily returned after departing with Ash, Misty is the first to return in more than one series.
** Of all of Ash's friends who have returned after their series more than once, Misty is the only one to have changed from her [[List of clothing (anime)|original outfit]] and go back to using it again. Misty returned to wearing her [[original series]] outfit in ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]'', after changing into a different outfit from ''[[AG044|The Princess and the Togepi]]'' onward.

(Japanese: '''セミファイナルⅡ　「幻惑」''' ''The Semifinals II: "Dazzle"'') is the 123rd episode of ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'', and the 1,208th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It first aired in Japan on September 2, 2022.
{{spoilers}}



==Plot==
The second semifinals [[Full Battle]] of the [[World Coronation Series|Pokémon World Coronation Series]] [[Masters Tournament]] is about to get underway to decide who will get to face Monarch {{an|Leon}} in the finals. At one end of the stadium, [[Goh]] is giving {{Ash}} words of encouragement, while at the other end, [[Diantha]] is doing the same with {{an|Cynthia}}, believing she could be the one to end Leon's unbroken winning streak. To the surprise of the famous actress, Cynthia reveals to her that she's intending to retire from {{pkmn|battle|battling}} once the tournament has ended.

The first {{pkmn|Champion}} of [[Alola]] and the {{pkmn|world}}-famous [[Sinnoh]] Champion both enter the battlefield. As per usual, [[Gym guide|Dan]] explains the rules: the match is a six-on-six Full Battle with no limits to how many times each {{pkmn|Trainer}} is allowed to [[recall|change]] their Pokémon, and each of them may only use one of either [[Dynamax]], [[Mega Evolution]], or [[Z-Move]]s per battle. While the announcer wonders if they will use the same cards they did on the quarterfinals, the two Champions send out their first Pokémon. Ash's choice is his {{AP|Dragonite}}, while Cynthia unexpectedly leads with the {{pkmn|category|Forbidden Pokémon}} {{p|Spiritomb}}. As the signal to start the match is given, Ash orders a {{m|Draco Meteor}} as his first [[move]], only for Dragonite to be struck back by Spiritomb's {{m|Sucker Punch}}. After getting back on its feet, the Dragon Pokémon completes the use of Draco Meteor, only for Spiritomb to just shrug it off and laugh mockingly. Ash tries to follow up with a {{m|Dragon Claw}}, but ends up getting stopped in his tracks by {{m|Hypnosis}}, causing Dragonite to fall {{status|asleep}}. Spiritomb follows this up by using {{m|Dream Eater}} multiple times in a row, gradually draining away Dragonite's energy. Ash's pleas for his Pokémon to wake up prove fruitless, with the end result of Dragonite getting defeated in its sleep without managing to deal any real damage to Cynthia.

While Ash recalls Dragonite and prepares to send out his next Pokémon, Cynthia abruptly recalls Spiritomb as well. Both Trainers' second Pokémon, {{AP|Gengar}} and {{p|Roserade}}, enter the field simultaneously. Roserade's {{m|Bullet Seed}} fails to do much damage due to being {{DL|Type|Type effectiveness|not very effective}}, while Roserade unflinchingly takes a {{m|Shadow Ball}}. The next exchange of moves comes in the form of a {{m|Will-O-Wisp}} and a {{m|Leaf Storm}}, with both attacks striking their mark. With Roserade now suffering from a {{status|burn}}, Cynthia recalls it and returns Spiritomb to the battlefield. Yet again, another exchange of attacks is made, this time between a {{m|Dazzling Gleam}} and a Sucker Punch. While both sides suffer super effective damage and get back up, unlike Spiritomb, Gengar ends up falling back down and [[fainting]], only increasing Cynthia's lead.

Once more, Ash recalling his fainted partner is accompanied by Cynthia withdrawing Spiritomb, this time in favor of {{p|Togekiss}}. Just as Cynthia predicted, Ash responds by calling forth his loyal and strongest partner, {{AP|Pikachu}}, in the hopes of turning things around. Pikachu's series of {{m|Thunderbolt}}s fails to make contact with the swiftly moving {{t|Flying}} type, who attacks back with {{m|Air Slash}}. When Togekiss follows up with {{m|Zen Headbutt}}, Ash finds Pikachu [[flinch]]ing and unable to prevent himself from being hit. Backstage, Diantha and Leon realize that Togekiss's [[Ability]], {{a|Serene Grace}}, helped to make this happen. Making yet another switch, Cynthia sends out her {{p|Gastrodon}} to gain type advantage over Pikachu. Aiming to take out Pikachu here and now, she orders an {{m|Earth Power}}. Pikachu evades the attack by jumping high into the air using the slabs of earth flung up by it, once again following Cynthia's prediction. When Pikachu starts using {{m|Iron Tail}} next, Cynthia has Gastrodon use {{m|Stone Edge}}. This time, though, things are going according to Ash's plan, as, instead of directly attacking Gastrodon, the Iron Tail slices off the tops of some of the stone pillars created by Stone Edge and sends them flying at Gastrodon. While Gastrodon manages to catch the rocks and absorb the impact, this leaves it immobilized, allowing Pikachu to use {{m|Quick Attack}} to smash through the rocks and into Gastrodon, finally giving Ash a knockout of his own.

Cynthia admires Ash's skill to find an opportunity in the midst of a crisis and Pikachu's ability to exploit it as she recalls her fainted Pokémon. Spiritomb the rejoins the battle yet again, though now, Ash feels ready for it and tells Pikachu to use Thunderbolt while spinning. The resulting vortex of electricity not only successfully repels Spiritomb's Hypnosis, but also strikes it at the same time. Ash identifies the strategy as [[Counter Shield]], a tactic that he came up with while [[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl|he was traveling through Sinnoh]] and which Cynthia recognizes from the [[Lily of the Valley Conference|Sinnoh League]]. Ash assures Cynthia that he's grown much stronger since then and has Pikachu ensnare Spiritomb in an {{m|Electroweb}}, successfully avoiding a Sucker Punch in the process. As Pikachu goes for a finishing Iron Tail, Spiritomb also does something moments before Pikachu's move hits. The Forbidden Pokémon retreats into its [[Odd Keystone]] and the audience cheers, but while Dan inspects Spiritomb, a dark shadow suddenly emerges from the keystone and envelops Pikachu. Spiritomb's last-second move had been {{m|Destiny Bond}}, whose effect has now activated. Pikachu is suddenly drained of all his remaining strength, causing him to faint alongside Spiritomb. With this double-knockout, Ash's ability to use {{m|10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt}} has been eliminated, giving him a severe handicap as Cynthia continues to stay in control of the battle.

* [[Get Inspired! Let's Solve a Poké Riddle!!]]: {{p|Spiritomb}}
* This episode marks the first main series appearance of a {{p|Togekiss}} other than the [[Dawn's Togekiss|one that belongs to]] {{an|Dawn}}.
** This episode also marks the first main series appearance of a {{p|Roserade}} since ''[[XY112|Master Class Is in Session!]]'', 297 episodes earlier.
* Despite Togekiss being classified as a {{2t|Fairy|Flying}} type since {{g|X and Y}}, released almost nine years earlier, this is the first time that its Fairy type is explicitly recognized in the {{pkmn|anime}}.
* As of this episode, {{an|Lance}} is the only regional {{pkmn|Champion}} introduced up to this point, current or former, whom Ash hasn’t battled.
* This is the first instance of [[Counter Shield]] being used since ''[[SM043|When Regions Collide!]]'', 225 episodes ago.
** This marks the first time Ash has used it since ''[[DP186|Familiarity Breeds Strategy!]]'', 556 episodes ago.
*** {{an|Cynthia}} recalls seeing Ash use this technique from said episode in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]].
** Much like for the purpose it was originally created for, Counter Shield is used here to defend against a {{t|Ghost}} Pokémon's {{m|Hypnosis}}.
* This episode marks the first use of {{m|Destiny Bond}} since its debut in ''[[AG128|Shocks and Bonds!]]'', 806 episodes earlier.
** Coincidentally, on both occasions, the move was used by a female character during one of Ash's [[Full Battle]]s in a tournament.
* The [[Who's That Pokémon?|Dare da?]] segment is replaced with [[eyecatch]]es of {{Ash}}, [[Goh]], and {{AP|Pikachu}} for this episode.
* [[James]], {{MTR}}, [[Jessie]], {{TP|James|Morpeko}}, and {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} narrate the preview for the [[JN124|next episode]].

'''Sableye''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヤミラミ''' ''Yamirami'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dark|Ghost}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Sableye can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Sableye''' using the [[Sablenite‎]].

==Biology==
Sableye is a bipedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a dark purple body, armed with sharp teeth and claws, which it uses to dig through soil. It has pale blue, gemstone-like eyes, which allow it to see in low light and sparkle in the dark. It also has a red gemstone on its chest, and its back has a blue and green gemstone as well as another red one. These gem-like eyes and adornments on its body are caused by its diet, which consists of rocks and raw gemstones. It also targets {{p|Carbink}} as prey, though they are usually taken by {{p|Gabite}} before Sableye can reach them. It is feared by people since it is said to steal a person's soul if they look into its eyes. It is nocturnal and is rarely seen. It lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Cave Pokémon|caves}}.

As Mega Sableye, all the energy from its Mega Evolution is concentrated into the red jewel on its chest, causing it to rip out of Sableye's skin and significantly increase in size; the detached jewel leaves a small hole in Mega Sableye's chest. Its ears elongate, and it gains a spike on the top of its head. Its teeth turn from white to yellow, and its eyes also change from pale blue to a crimson red, with diagonal slits at their inner edges. Its back gains more gems: a second green one, a second red one, and two small yellow gems. The enlarged jewel is said to boast such incredible hardness that no attack can even leave a scratch on it. During battle, Mega Sableye shelters itself behind the jewel, from where it can take advantage of any openings its target leaves exposed.<ref name= "Mega">http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-us/pokemon/new-mega-evolutions/mega-sableye</ref> However, being forced to support its massive jewel leaves Sableye unable to turn quickly, making it vulnerable from behind.

==Trivia==
* Sableye seems to be the counterpart of {{p|Mawile}}. Both of them are [[version-exclusive Pokémon]] to {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}, {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, and {{pkmn|Sword and Shield}}. Both also have [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] forms and the same [[base stats|base stat totals]], as well as [[HP]] and {{stat|Speed}}.
* Sableye shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Murkrow}}. They are both known as the Darkness Pokémon.
* Sableye is the only {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon in the {{egg3|Human-Like}}.
* Mega Sableye is the slowest {{type|Dark}} Pokémon.
* Prior to the introduction of the {{t|Fairy}} type in [[Generation VI]], Sableye (along with {{p|Spiritomb}}) had no elemental weaknesses under normal battle conditions (using {{m|Foresight}} can expose its Dark-type vulnerability to {{t|Fighting}}). As this occurred without the aid of an [[Ability]], it was commonly hacked to have the ability {{a|Wonder Guard}}, making it immune to all direct damage. This hack is commonly referred to as [[Wondereye]]. Due to a [[List of glitches (Generation IV)#Fire Fang Wonder Guard glitch|programming oversight]], {{m|Fire Fang}} can still hit Sableye with Wonder Guard.

===Origin===
Sableye seems to be a stylization of the {{wp|Kelly–Hopkinsville encounter|Hopkinsville Goblin}}, a creature from an alleged Kentucky "alien encounter" described as having shining eyes, small legs, clawed arms and swaying hips (a movement that Sableye imitates in the 3D Pokémon games). The Hopkinsville aliens are most famous in Japan, where they have appeared in other anime and video games.

The [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|ruby, sapphire]], and [[Pokémon Emerald Version|emerald]] on Sableye's body may be a reference to the three games of the [[Generation III|generation]] it debuted in.

====Name origin====
Sableye may be a combination of ''sable'' (either referring to {{wp|Sable (heraldry)|the heraldic color}} or {{wp|Sable|the animal}} it is named after) and ''{{wp|eye}}''. It may also be a play on ''able-eyed''.

Yamirami may be a combination of 闇 ''yami'' (darkness) and 藪睨み ''yabunirami'' (cross-eyed sight, squint) or 睨み ''nirami'' (glare).

== Date ==
Where is the date listed as being confirmed for the 8th? [[User:Playerking95|Playerking95]] ([[User talk:Playerking95|talk]]) 07:33, 17 March 2022 (UTC)

Is Serena confirmed? --Taufiq32 13:46, 5 April 2022 (UTC)
:No. At time of writing this post, she still wasn't confirmed in any official way. Therefore, she should be removed from this page and JN105 should also be removed from Serena's page until the episode is released to avoid confusion. --[[User:Horn|Horn]] ([[User talk:Horn|talk]]) 06:44, 8 April 2022 (UTC)
::There is more than enough evidence at this point on Twitter to justify Serena staying on this page. [[User:PokemonMasterJamal3|PokemonMasterJamal3]] ([[User talk:PokemonMasterJamal3|talk]]) 08:48, 8 April 2022 (UTC)
:::She already confirmmed. --Taufiq32 11:15, 8 April 2022 (UTC)

== Green lights ==

I personally think the green lights trivia is perfectly valid. It's only stated to be a possibility and not an absolute truth. In addition, the choice of making the lights green seems rather specific to me. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 13:17, 11 April 2022 (UTC)

Not to mention it being adjacent to the water. Definitely think it's worth a mention. It's a very interesting connection and definitely seems plausible. [[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']] 13:27, 11 April 2022 (UTC)

:It seems circumstantial at best, and there's nothing in the scene to suggest that Sernea has unwavering love for Ash. The lights just happened to be green.--[[User:Reinhartmax|Reinhartmax]] ([[User talk:Reinhartmax|talk]]) 13:36, 11 April 2022 (UTC)

:::I read about this theory, I thought it was amazing for a (supposedly) children's series. --[[User:Hikaru Wazana|Hikaru Wazana]] ([[User talk:Hikaru Wazana|talk]]) 13:59, 11 April 2022 (UTC)

::::<del>Come on guys. If you return to the final episode Serena appeared before, AmourShipping was absolutely happening explictly. I didn't realized that until this edit is updated. For anyways, I support for this trivia.</del> --[[User:KyleRGiggs|KyleRGiggs]] ([[User talk:KyleRGiggs|talk]]) 14:52, 11 April 2022 (UTC)
:::::Serena liking Ash doesn’t mean that this is a reference. Her attraction to him was not in this episode and the only ‘source’ is the color of a light. If we can’t determine a move without explicit wording I don’t think we should be jumping onto this shipping speculation[[User:Pikablu|Pikablu]] ([[User talk:Pikablu|talk]]) 15:08, 11 April 2022 (UTC)

::::::Then just meet in middle. The green light is absolutely unessential. It could be replaced by light from an Ampharos or what, why green light? There must have the reason. I don't think it is coincidence when I was recalled by the Gatsby. --[[User:KyleRGiggs|KyleRGiggs]] ([[User talk:KyleRGiggs|talk]]) 15:18, 11 April 2022 (UTC)

:::::::There's absolutely no reason to make in that moment such big focus on those lights that don't even look natural there, other than to give some subtext. Other media refereneces are completely different thing from claiming use of a move. Here, it's only a trivia and we know about Ash and Serena's romantic feelings.--'''[[User:Team Rocket Grunt|Rocket]] [[User talk:Team Rocket Grunt|Grunt]]''' 15:19, 11 April 2022 (UTC)

::::::::Besides, when I was told there is a novel called "The Green Ray" written by Jules Verne, the green light absolutely make sense. As a result, I decided to retract for my words for "The Great Gatsby". Instead, "The Green Ray" is ratherly make sense for it.--[[User:KyleRGiggs|KyleRGiggs]] ([[User talk:KyleRGiggs|talk]]) 15:22, 11 April 2022 (UTC)

:::::::::"The Green Ray" makes no sense in this context, it's not related to the scene and it's a specific [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_flash optical phenomena] that appears when the sun is setting or rising. Coincidentally, it already appeared in the anime when Ash's Lycanroc evolved.--'''[[User:Team Rocket Grunt|Rocket]] [[User talk:Team Rocket Grunt|Grunt]]''' 15:31, 11 April 2022 (UTC)
Serena has feeling for Ash-which was not in the episode-and Ash does not have feelings for her. You’re all looking too deep into a light and grasping at straws.[[User:Pikablu|Pikablu]] ([[User talk:Pikablu|talk]]) 15:36, 11 April 2022 (UTC)

: I believe this also to be a reach, unless someone in the writing/animating crew explicitly states this - like how baby's breath was used in [[XY140]] as a means of flower language - I don't think we can class it as trivia. If anything it would only serve as speculation. [[User:Azure42|Azure/ChromeVoid42]] ([[User talk:Azure42|talk]]) 16:56, 11 April 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Jessie

2021-09-08T20:35:39Z

Azure42: /* Age: 26? */

==Pokemon==
When did Jesse ever have a Magikarp? {{unsigned|Blackjack Gabbiani}}
: Briefly, when James bought one with their combined salaries. - [[User:Zhen Lin|刘 (劉) 振霖]] 12:56, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)
::It should be when the Magikarp saler disguises the Magikarp to be Feebas. Jessie want to use Milotic in contest so he bought the Magikarp.-[[User:Billy4b2004|Billy4b2004]] 05:28, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Arbok, Lickitung, Wobbuffet, Seviper, Dustox... over half of all the main Pokémon she's used are Poison-type. Does she qualify for the Poison-type trainers category? --[[User:Pie|Pie]] ~[[User talk:Pie|♪]][[Special:Contributions/Pie|♫]] 23:06, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
:: Works for me. She counts more than some people (Like Flint, 2 Fire Pokemon out of 5). You could make a case for James being a Grass-Trainer, while you're at it. - [[User:Cassius335|Alan]]

==Croagunk?==
Now, I haven't seen the episode with Brock capturing Croagunk, but did Jessie ever own it? To my knowledge, it was just a wild one, and she never owned it. --[[User:PAK Man|PAK Man]] 21:52, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
:I think she never formally captured it, but she battled with it, which made it as much hers as Haunter was Ash's. --[[User:Pie|Pie]] ~[[User talk:Pie|♪]][[Special:Contributions/Pie|♫]] 22:12, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
::Ah, that makes sense. Thanks for the clarification. --[[User:PAK Man|PAK Man]] 22:31, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

== It's been a while ==
It's been like a year since Jessie has gotten a new pokemon. Why is that?
:It's been a while since {{Ash}} has, too, and he's the main character. Maybe they're just waiting. '''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 21:13, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
::Bear in mind Ash only has two slots left and one of those might be the Riolu egg from Iron Island. No idea why they're waiting so long for Jessie, though. - [[User:Cassius335|Alan]]
:::Johto? They gotta spread them out over the entire arc or else it'll get boring. Between EP002 and EP052, it was just Ekans/Arbok, then it was Arbok and Lickitung until EP146, when she traded Lickitung for Wobbuffet. Then it was just Arbok and Wobbuffet all the way through EP273 and then six episodes into AG. '''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 07:31, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

== A Multi-Identity Problem ==

Um... If Jessalina is used as a redirect to Jessie, shouldn't the other one be redirects? As I recall, she used more than one names as a coordinator.

[[User:Pokemaniac102|'''Poke''']][[User talk:Pokemaniac102|'''maniac''']][[Special:Contributions/Pokemaniac102|'''102''']]

But she never changed her names since Sinnoh.-[[User:Billy4b2004|Billy4b2004]] 13:05, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
:Did she ever use Jessabella?--[[User:David aipom|Davidaipom]] 17:54, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

== Jessie's Appearance ==
In the pokemon anime series, jessie keeps her original style, but, her hair chaged from red to purple, i don't know why, have any of you noticed this?
:No, it's just a different shade or red and the lighting. --'''[[User:Theryguy512|Theryguy]][[User talk:Theryguy512|5]][[User:Theryguy512/Contribution Page|1]][[User:Theryguy512/Similarities|2]]''' 11:47, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
::No, it's not only the lights, it actually '''has''' changed, it did sometime between the original series and the advance one. The reason? I don't know, don't remember it being mentioned ever in the anime. I liked it better red, it looks great, but in purple she looks great too, it makes her look more imponent, don't you think? --[[User:YukitoOoO|YukitoOoO]] 04:31, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
:::The real truth is that her hair along with Ash, Officer Jenney and maybe a few other's hair had changed color from EP261 and on. Why? The anime transitioned to digital colorization resulting in few cosmetic changes to characters which are hardly noticeable. Like Jessie's hair. Officer jenny's hair went from blue to green. Ash now has gray highlights in his hair, etc.--[[User:Vhayes1992|Vhayes1992] 19:12, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

== Jessie's Dustox ==
:Isn't her Dustox leaveing her team in [[DP073]] for a Shiny Dustox? [[User:CoolPikachu!|'''Cool''']][[User talk:CoolPikachu!|'''Pika''']][[User:CoolPikachu!/Extra|'''chu!''']]
::Likely, but we don't know for sure until we see her let it go. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]] Fire echy''' 22:17, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
I guess normal pokemon think shiny ones are hot.[[User:LordKaien|LordKaien]] 14:53, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

== [[EP029]] ==

The Hitmonlee that Jessie had in order to enter the [[P1 Grand Prix]], are we putting that in here? If so, would it b under "Borrowed" or "Temporary"?

:If we are, it would go under Temporary. They mugged the real [[Giant]] for the Hitmonlee, his outfit, and his identity to enter the P1 Grand Prix. That behaviour certainly wouldn't lend to "borrowed"...--[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 22:31, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

So I guess the Hitmonlee would fall under Temporary then?--[[User:Kuki|Kuki]][[User talk:Kuki|Talk]] 22:48, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

== Flashback ==

In a flashback in AG156, Jessie is seen hanging on a Starmie. I don't know if she really owned it, but it could be listed under Status Unknown. {{unsigned|Tomazzo}}
:Nah, that'd just be a wild Pokémon. [[User:GlinnMgraw|Glinn]] [[User_talk:GlinnMgraw|Mgraw]] 14:41, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
::Though, PokeAni does mention that she did have a Starmie. But still it can't be confirmed. --[[Special:Contributions/Kenji-girl|☆]][[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 20:44, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

Yes, i know but at Tracey's page a Dodrio was added that was also seen in a flashback but was not confirmed. [[User: Tomazzo|Tomazzo]]
We dont know if it was wild, probably not since she was riding it. I think i should go under status unknown. [[User:David aipom|David]]
Aipom


David's right.--[[User:Kuki|Kuki]][[User talk:Kuki|Talk]] 14:28, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
:D Thankies [[User:David aipom|David]]
Aipom


==Jessica==
'''Jessie''' is short for '''Jessica''', as revealed in [[EP016]]. Shoudn't it be mentioned?

== Inclusion ==

Should we include {{MTR}}?--[[User:Kuki|Kuki]][[User talk:Kuki|Talk]] 16:02, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
:I'm not sure what you mean...what about Meowth? -[[User:Sketchies|Sketchies]] 18:36, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

Like include him in Jess and James' parties.--[[User:Kuki|Kuki]][[User talk:Kuki|Talk]] 22:42, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
:Oh. No. He is his own entity. -[[User:Sketchies|Sketchies]] 02:21, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
::Meowth in Jessie's and James's parties means we put James in Jessie's party... because she owns him for sure more than she owns Meowth. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 02:36, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
::: I very nearly read that as something else... [[User:Cassius335|- Cassius335]] 14:21, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

== First Female Member ==

Is it important enough to add that Jessie was the first female Team Rocket member to appear in the games? (From what I can remember, she was.) [[User:Hooray4Homestar|Hooray4Homestar]] 03:31, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
:I think she was, yeah. Since female grunts and admins didn't appear until GSC. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 03:51, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

== Age ==

In episode IL episode 56, (55 in US) while signing up for the Pokēmon admissions exam, she says her age is 17. That would mean that if the age listed here is correct, 8 years would have passed since the first season. This means that either this page should be edited or else the age of almost every other main character should be edited (and making Ash 18). Please think about this. {{unsigned|Platinumcyndaquil}}
:I haven't watched it in a long time... got a YouTube link or something? And besides, this is Pokémon. There's inconsistencies everywhere, and Team Rocket are known to ''bend'' the truth sometimes... And that reference wasn't in the original, so we don't know how accurate it is.
:Anyway, it's not Pokēmon, it's Pokémon. There's a huge difference between macron'd e (sounds like ee) and accented e (sounds like ey). And we don't go by IL/OI/JJ/JLC/MQ/A/AC/AB/BF/DP/BD, we go by EP/AG/DP. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 03:33, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

::::::::: Even if Bulbapedia says Miyamoto disappeared 18 years ago, I wouldn't put my finger on it. Giovanni says that '''the story began 20 years ago''' an afternoon when Miyamoto reported from the jungle. Next time we hear of her is when she already got separated from her two colleagues and got lost in the mountains: she says ''"I wonder how many years it's been since then though..."''. But... how many years since ''when'', Miyamoto? It could be since she got lost, but it could well have been since she was first sent to the jungle, or perhaps even since she left Jessie.

::::::::: Then she meets Mew. And she says '''"Look at this picture of my daughter, Jessie. [...] Nursery school... kindergarten... Child care costs money."''' This puts Jessie's age, at the time, between 4- and 6-years old. Miyamoto keeps track of Jessie's life at the time throughout the whole CD drama. During the epilogue of the last chapter, we hear Miyamoto saying '''"I won't give up. The daughter I left is almost an old maid."''' Translate it as "old maid", "hag", "Christmas cake", etc, that age in Japan is said to be 25 as far as I'm concerned. This puts Jessie's age at the time Miyamoto said that (which is the last we know of her) at 25 or at least ''almost'' 25. Equivalently, the events here are implied to happen in the present or at least ''almost'' the present, as Giovanni said in the second chapter that '''the secrets to Mew were rediscovered two years ago'''. This means Jessie's age at the time after the birth of Mewtwo shouldn't be less than 23. Note that Mewtwo went under Giovanni's training for a time before we get to the movie's events, which are part of the anime's timeline.

::::::::: In the end, Jessie's age is never explicitly mentioned in the CD drama, but is '''strongly''' implied. Why is this useful to us? Because our only problem is that we have two conflicting translations from the second movie dialogue here:
:::::::::* '''FinnishPokeFan92''': ''In the Japanese version, James states that he and Jessie are five years older than Ash and his friends, and since they are 10 years old, this puts Jessie and James at the age of 15.''
:::::::::* '''Gabo2oo''' (me): ''In the Japanese version, Jessie says that the twerps (who are 10-years old) are 10 years too young to talk about love, and James adds that they are 5 years too old for it.''
::::::::: After checking the CD drama, I can confidently say that my version is the accurate one, because it's the one that doesn't utterly contradict everything that was implied in the drama (nor the fact that Jessie and James drink alcohol and drive ''trucks'' without any problem: you need to be at least 20 for both of them). It's 29 minutes into the movie, the scene that got dubbed as the whole "opposite sex" gay joke. --[[User:Gabo 2oo|Gabo 2oo]] ([[User talk:Gabo 2oo|talk]]) 16:36, 19 February 2015 (UTC)

== Given away? ==

Where in the context of the episode is it stated that Jessie's Unova Pokemon were "given away" to Giovanni? I haven't seen a subbed version of the episode yet. (This also applies to James's Unova Pokemon as well.) [[User:PokemonMasterJamal3|PokemonMasterJamal3]] ([[User talk:PokemonMasterJamal3|talk]]) 22:12, 26 September 2013 (UTC)

:I think it's best to just assume that's a typo and not an alternate spelling of her name (we have ample evidence that her name is spelt Jessie). --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 16:34, 22 April 2014 (UTC)

== Aged? ==

In [[XY082|the most recent dub episode]], Jessie stated that Pumpkaboo was the only one who remembered her birthday. If this is the case, then that would mean that Jessie is 26 (going by the Japanese version). I don't know how serious we're going to be with ages for a show where [[BW001|almost 660 episodes]] can pass, but not an entire year. Because of this, I'm not going to change the main page. If somebody determines that it's appropriate to add, they can do so. [[User:Bigpboy|Bigpboy]] ([[User talk:Bigpboy|talk]]) 18:00, 2 October 2015 (UTC)
:The show is a floating timeline so Jessie wouldn't be 26 since barely any of the characters get to age, even if several years have gone by. [[User:Pattyman|Patty]][[User talk:Pattyman|Man]] 21:44, 4 October 2015 (UTC)

== Age is Wrong! ==

This week I watched the subbed version with my Japanese penpal while she visited me and there is no mention of Jessie (and James) being 25 years old. In the subs Jessie said Misty was 10 years too early to think about love-hate relationships, then James said they don't think about it yet which means they less than 20. In the episode with the test Jessie said she's 17, this is more likely as she and James is the same age and considering James' parents still trying to force him into marriage he can't be older. My friend Michiko confirmed the sub we saw is accurate and that the screenshots I've seen where it said "five years older" is mistranslated, so therefore Jessie and James' maximum age as of the second movie is 19 as they're not yet 20. This means Jessie and James' pages on this site gives false information and I think it should be removed.--[[User:Sieron|Sieron]] ([[User talk:Sieron|talk]]) 19:32, 29 January 2017 (UTC)

== Porygon Zero ==

Is Porygon Zero considered to be a Pokémon that Jessie formally owned? It's listed as one of her released Pokémon in the template for Team Rocket's Pokémon, but is listed in the temporary section on this page, so I'm not sure which piece of information should be corrected.

== Are there any particular reason why Jessie's James's articles aren't in the "Game Characters" category? ==

They appear in the Pokémon games, which is the only criteria stated in the category's page for which articles apply to it. Also, their articles are under the categories for characters that appeared in the games that they appeared in, so I'd assume they should also be under the general "Game Characters" category too.

I was going to add the category on to them when I saw it was missing, but I thought it was best to first make sure that there aren't any deliberate reasons as for why they are excluded from that category.

OK, since it's not confirmed if they actually OWN these Pokémon now, I understand why don't they put in "On Hand", but not even "Temporary" or "Borrowed"? I don't see Gyarados anywhere in Jessie's page, same goes for James and Tyranitar.

==Psyduck Merch Trivia?==
I was just looking at the Psyduck merch Chrysa had on the side of her desk and I noticed that there may be some references in there. The album cover is clearly Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon and the book could be a variation of Case Closed/Detective Conan. Not sure about the middle CD but would that reference be trivia-worthy?

Azure42: /* Benkei */

both male and female Indeedee was shown with nurse joy in the pokemon center. also, Aegislash on which the battle referee was riding. jomit.pika 10:22, 5 July 2020 (UTC)

== Benkei ==

There are some parallels between this episode and the famous Japanese story/folklore of Benkei.
Benkei was a big warrior, usually depicted with a naginata (a type of big lance), that challenged samurai on duels to win their swords.
Until he dueled against Minamoto no Yoshitsune (a smaller warrior) on a bridge and was defeated, later becoming Yoshitsune's loyal retainer.
After fighting many battles together, they were encircled in a castle. Yoshitsune went into the castle to commit seppuku and Benkei stood guard at the bridge in front of the gate to protect Yoshitsune during the ritual. The soldiers were afraid of coming near Benkei and engaging in combat, so they showered him with arrows. A famous passage from this story tells Benkei died standing upright.
So, in this context, Ash's Galarian Farfetch'd would be Benkei (strong, with big weapon, challenging for duels on a bridge, being defeated and joining the winner and also standing upright after being defeated), and Goh's Kantonian Farfetch'd/Ash's Riolu would be Minamoto no Yoshitsune ("sword fight" with a lighter weapon/winning the duel).--[[User:KurowaSan|KurowaSan]] ([[User talk:KurowaSan|talk]]) 17:24, 6 July 2020 (UTC)
: I think that's a little loose, in the same vein you could say Farfetch'd is Little John to Riolu's Robin Hood - which would have British undertones what with them being in Galar, there would need to be more explicit evidence for it to be a legitimate reference [[User:Azure42|Azure/ChromeVoid42]] ([[User talk:Azure42|talk]]) 19:48, 6 July 2020 (UTC)

__TOC__

== Rotom Pokédex in "Unofficial" Segment ==

The Rotom Pokédex qualifies under that category and travels alongside Ash and his buddies. Should it be included? If so, the template will need a minor adjustment for this to work. [[User:Pikatwig|Pikatwig]] ([[User talk:Pikatwig|talk]]) 03:05, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
:I'm all for its inclusion. - ''unsigned comment from [[User:Missingno. Master|Missingno. Master]] ([[User talk:Missingno. Master|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Missingno._Master|contribs]])'' 21:51, 11 December 2016 (UTC)

== Ash staying 10years old ==

The convention in Delaware with the original voice actor of Jessie when asked Ash's age said he was still 10 because the show is an evergreen show.--Pokemonfansuper 13:46, 13 December 2016 (UTC)

== In the games section ==
Should we have a section of Ash's appearances in the games? He's appeared in Puzzle League and implied to be the writer of the letter at the beginning of the Sun and Moon demo. He's also present in all the SEGA Pico games, and there are event Pokémon based on his Pokémon (like Ash's Pikachu back in Generation IV and now Ash-Greninja). [[User:TeridaxXD001|TeridaxXD001]] ([[User talk:TeridaxXD001|talk]]) 08:52, 14 December 2016 (UTC)

: I was about to ask the same question before I saw it had been asked already, so I wanna draw attention to it again because I agree. [[User:TheFatPanda|TheFatPanda]] ([[User talk:TheFatPanda|talk]]) 13:47, 4 August 2017 (UTC)

== Taking Care Of segment for Pokémon Egg ==

Since both he and Lillie were tasked with watching over the Pokémon Egg, it should be noted on both of their pages. [[User:Pikatwig|Pikatwig]] ([[User talk:Pikatwig|talk]]) 18:17, 22 December 2016 (UTC)

== Poke Ride ==

Why don't we add the Poke ride Pokémon that Ash uses? I had added Sharpedo, Tauros and Lapras but they removed? Why should Poke Ride be listed on Kiawe'd page but not Ash's? [[User:05308|Diamond]] [[Lanturn (Pokémon)|Lanturn]] [[User talk:05308|CodeName: 05308]] 17:53, 19 January 2017 (UTC)
:Everything that Ash uses or interacts with in any way should not (IMO) be notable. He rides Poke Ride Pokemon. So? That's what they're there for, he doesn't own them or anything significant. I really think random Poke Ride Pokemon should be removed from others' pages too, but I removed them here in particular because Ash just has so many Pokemon listed, and these ones really didn't deserve it (again, IMO). [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 18:10, 19 January 2017 (UTC)

But he actually using them in the series as Kiawe have Pokemon to ride at school as it shown own his page. He doesn't own the Taurus from the Pokemon school or the wailmer. If I'm correct, dose that mean Ash on his article should have those Pokemon own his article. Ash shown to use few Pokemon that aren't in the game to ride on such as Wailmer and pelipper. Should we add those Pokemon it seems important for the series articles. --[[User:DragoAlex|DragoAlex]] ([[User talk:DragoAlex|talk]]) 19:29, 19 January 2017 (UTC)

== Split suggestion ==

I propose that we split off the lists of Ash's Pokémon into a secondary article, which could be titled "Ash Ketchum's Pokémon," "Ash's Pokémon," "Ash Ketchum/Pokémon," or anything similar. By my count, the anime list alone takes up a full quarter of this page's ridiculous size (25k of ~100k bytes). In my opinion, this page should keep whatever Ash has in his party or in rotation, since that's what's relevant to the current anime, and everything else would be visible on the secondary page without cluttering up this main page. Thanks for your consideration. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 19:21, 19 January 2017 (UTC)
:I think it's the temporary Pokémon section that's taking up the most space and should be split off the page. We do have a [[List of Pokémon temporarily owned by the Team Rocket trio]], so we can do the same for Ash's temporary Pokémon. However, everything else is too important to place elsewhere.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 03:46, 21 January 2017 (UTC)

:::I agree with Pumpkinking0192 as in we should split the page, the anime isn't likely to stop soon and Ash is bound to get more pokemon as time goes on Though I do believe that there should be a page with pokemon that reside at Oak's laboratory and a section for Ash's pokemon and one for Gary's (if there are any known) and have this page link to it instead of listing all pokemon that Oak is keeping for Ash. If we don't split the page eventually it'll take an hour to quickly scroll to the bottom and yes I realize that at the top there are links to send you to the area you want quickly but there are also people in this world who dislike using those links. {{unsigned|Pokegail|20:11, 25 September 2017 (UTC)}}

:::Wouldn't it be better if all the Pokemon out of rotation were added to that page too? Considering Ash has caught so many Pokemon, the page will fill up quickly, and even after removing the temporary Pokemon, this page will still be big enough to cause problems. → [[User talk:PikaTepig999|PikaTe]][[Special:Contribs/PikaTepig999|pig999]] 05:22, 13 November 2019 (UTC)

== Picture ==

First off I realized that Pikachu was edited in Ash's picture when in reality he should be alone like this: http://www.pokebeach.com/news/1016/Ash-Pikachu-Sun-Moon-Anime.jpg
Can someone remove pikachu from the picture?

Also for when the 20th movie comes out should we change his picture to his movie appearance? {{unsigned|Theexploringgamer}}
:The image will not be replaced, because the movie is a standalone thing, whereas his current outfit will go on for a while after the movie airs, so there's no point in changing it for the movie and then changing it back afterwards when the next Sun and Moon episode airs. [[User:Playerking95|Playerking95]] ([[User talk:Playerking95|talk]]) 13:37, 21 February 2017 (UTC)

== Ash's Xy section ==

Don't you think there's a bit too much on Ash's xy section? I think it's a bit too long and detailed to the point where it spoils important parts of episodes or just that it has minor unnecessarily parts. I feel like it is like this with characters like Bonnie, Serena and xy in general {{unsigned|Mowahib}}
:Obviously so. I've been planning to make heavy, heavy trims once I've watched all of XY, but that may not happen for awhile. In the meantime, you're welcome to do it yourself. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 14:30, 17 June 2017 (UTC)

==Sun and Moon Ash Statement==
A friend brought this up to me earlier today and it has an official comment from the sound director on Twitter. So... uh... I'm going to mention this. http://satoshipediaeng.altervista.org/sun-moon-is-not-continuation-of-xyz-the-main-characters-are-completely-new-ash-and-pikachu/ [[User:Pikatwig|Pikatwig]] ([[User talk:Pikatwig|talk]]) 16:20, 28 June 2017 (UTC)
:That article doesn't make a lot of sense and seems like overly agitated ramblings. It's much, much more likely that the tweet is simply misinterpreted: "not a continuation of XYZ" just means that it's a new season, just like Best Wishes could be seen as "not a continuation of DP" and XY as "not a continuation of Best Wishes". And "a completely new Satoshi and Pikachu" is patently ridiculous to take literally; it's probably referring to his character design, or else is a metaphor for, again, starting fresh with a new season.
:Let me ask you this: if Sun & Moon Ash were really a new character who's not the same as Ash from previous seasons, then how would he have been able to refer to [[Ash's Tauros|his Tauros]] in [[SM001]]? It's that simple. It's the same Ash as ever, period. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 16:36, 28 June 2017 (UTC)
:: The phrasing is up for interpretation, they could've meant it's not a continuation of XYZ in tone (which sound is a huge part of), since XYZ was of course much darker and intense than SM is, and that Ash is different to his XYZ version because he's more lax than semi-serious as he was in XYZ. I think if it was an entirely different reality they would've made a much bigger deal about it [[User:Azure42|Azure/ChromeVoid42]] ([[User talk:Azure42|talk]]) 16:39, 28 June 2017 (UTC)
::: I'm simply bringing this up is all. [[User:Pikatwig|Pikatwig]] ([[User talk:Pikatwig|talk]]) 17:23, 28 June 2017 (UTC)
::: While I'm (sadly) leaning towards this being possible (consider the 20th movie being a drastically altered retelling of the first few episodes, and that reboots in general are for some reason huge in the entertainment industry right now), the article also argues that the Best Wishes series is a separate continuity, which is definitely untrue. [[User:TeridaxXD001|TeridaxXD001]] ([[User talk:TeridaxXD001|talk]]) 20:05, 28 June 2017 (UTC)
:::: Since the tweet also contains pencil artwork of the SM series, I think the director is most likely referring to the new art style. [[User:Satsjoe|Satsjoe]] ([[User talk:Satsjoe|talk]]) 20:36, 28 June 2017 (UTC)

==Higher Quality Sun and Moon character artwork==
I just found character artwork for the Sun and Moon series in a larger and higher quality. They are found on the Gulli (French TV channel) website. It also includes Ash without Pikachu.

== Possible M20 split? ==

Unlike the other movies, M20 is not filler. It's been said to take place in a different dimension than the main series. In other words, M20!Ash=/=MS!Ash. Should we split the page, so that all the information concerning M20!Ash does not contradict the main page. Another reason is that the two characters lived different lives, had different outfits, different companions, etc. We would no place to write the exploits of M20!Ash. It could be like what the wiki did when separating EToP!Ash from the main Ash page. [[User:Iml908|Iml908]] ([[User talk:Iml908|talk]]) 19:03, 2 August 2017 (UTC)

== Split ==

I disagree with splitting Ash's Pokémon from this page. I think listing them here is important. Most of his Pokémon are only links to their own pages, so don't take up much space anyway.

However, I do think it would be a good idea to split "Ash's temporary Pokémon" to a separate page, much like [[List of Pokémon temporarily owned by the Team Rocket trio]]. They do take up a lot of space, and don't have much relevance to Ash as a character. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 02:49, 1 October 2017 (UTC)
:I do believe that's [[#Split suggestion|the consensus that was reached above]], in case the reason you're making a new section is that you didn't see that one. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 04:30, 1 October 2017 (UTC)

== Ash's Buzzwole ==

It's currently listed under "Temporary pokémon", but it's the only pokémon in this category at the moment that Ash actually caught in a pokéball. Since Ash actually caught and then released Buzzwole it should be moved up to "Released Pokémon". The description of "Temporary pokémon" does not fit as Buzzwole is neither a wild pokémon Ash teamed up with nor belongs to another trainer. There's precedence for this in Beedrill, which Ash also actually caught in a pokéball, which is now in its own category above the one for "temporary pokémon". [[User:Mijzelffan|Mijzelffan]] ([[User talk:Mijzelffan|talk]]) 12:56, 9 February 2018 (UTC)

: I agree with this. Only major thing we'll have to do is make a page for Buzzwole. [[User:Super10ZX|Super10ZX]] ([[User talk:Super10ZX|talk]]) 13:02, 9 February 2018 (UTC)

: I think that case is the same of Seaking, catching in Johto. Ash doesn't use Buzzwole like the others Pokémon, just catch it. --[[User:Lockheedpryde|Lockheedpryde]] ([[User talk:Lockheedpryde|talk]]) 13:39, 9 February 2018 (UTC)

::Seaking has less going for it than Buzzwole. Seaking is caught as part of a game which has the rules to be released after, similarly to something like the [[Battle Bingo]]. It's even caught in an anime-only Lake Ball which seems to have a 100% catch rate and might not be an actual pokéball. No such arguments can be made for the Buzzwole however, which was caught as an ordinary wild pokémon in a legitimate pokéball. After catching it Ash even does his traditional "caught a pokémon" pose. [[User:Mijzelffan|Mijzelffan]] ([[User talk:Mijzelffan|talk]]) 13:59, 9 February 2018 (UTC)
:::Seaking was caught as part of a [[Seaking Catching Day|structured competition]] that requires Trainers to release their Seaking back into the Seaking's natural habitat afterward; Buzzwole is caught as part of a [[Ultra Guardians|structured team effort]] that requires members to release Ultra Beasts back into [[Ultra Space|the UBs' natural habitat]] afterward.

== SM055 ==

This paragraph was removed under the reasoning that Ash was not heavily focused on in [[SM055]].

: In ''[[SM055|The Professors' New Adventure!]]'', Nebby disappeared, leaving Ash feeling sorry for not able to thank it for its help. Later, Ash discovered that Professor Kukui and [[Professor Burnet]] had decided to get married. After learning they weren't planning to have a wedding, Ash and his classmates arranged a surprise wedding ceremony, with Ash acting as the ring bearer. During the reception, Lusamine, [[Wicke]] and Faba approached Ash and his friends, with Faba apologizing for his earlier actions. The three then invited Ash and his classmates to join an Ultra Beast response unit called the [[Ultra Guardians]], which they all agreed to. By the end of the ceremony, Ash saw Nebby flying through the sky and thanked it before Nebby disappeared.

I would disagree considering that joining the Ultra Guardians was a major plot point and lead-in to future episodes, and the Pokémon School students are directly involved in organising the wedding ceremony (in Ash's case, including waking up Professor Kukui and being the ring bearer). Also the Legendary Pokémon Ash was gifted by the Island Guardians for ten episodes (who helped with the rescue of Lusamine) leaving does seem pretty major regarding Ash and Nebby to me (that's not me saying to include EVERY capture, evolution, departure and hatching across the various regions in Ash's history section though). [[User:TardisTybort|TardisTybort]] ([[User talk:TardisTybort|talk]]) 23:33, 22 April 2018 (UTC)
:It's important to note that some pages, particularly Ash's here, can get very big very easily. The history should probably be pretty broad strokes. Take a look at the Advanced Generation section: that hardly references any specific episodes, and (...without being involved in the anime much) IMO that's probably a good idea for the whole history section. (DP and BW look alright too perhaps. OS, XY, and SM can probably use greater or lesser amounts of cleaning up or compressing.)
:Just glancing at what's above, I'd say that in particular the wedding may not be that important. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 23:53, 22 April 2018 (UTC)
:: I do in broad terms understand being more sparing with space and compressing when a character is around for over 5 years, never mind 20 like Ash. Although I'm not 100% sure about outright being vague with citing episodes, especially when the individual series span over a hundred episodes (or at least 3 seasons) each. At a minimum, I'd feel like mentioning "after badge X" or "after town Y" or "the Z league" and put in a more chronological order than I've seen ([https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Ash_Ketchum&type=revision&diff=2766416&oldid=2766415 for instance, this bit correcting how in XY, Ash's travels with Korrina come BEFORE the Summer Camp]).
:: Specifically regarding the events of the episode, though, I still defend what I said about Ash, Nebby and the Ultra Guardians for the reasons I already said, even if I get just for space reasons we don't need to blow-by-blow mention everything that's plot related from ''[[S21|Ultra Adventures]]'' (though off the top of my head, I think that would depend heavily on the anime character's page). [[User:TardisTybort|TardisTybort]] ([[User talk:TardisTybort|talk]]) 01:35, 23 April 2018 (UTC)
::: Maybe my issue is I just have a vague distinction in my head between compressing/simplifying/making something less run-on vs. burning it all down. [[User:TardisTybort|TardisTybort]] ([[User talk:TardisTybort|talk]]) 01:42, 23 April 2018 (UTC)
::::I wouldn't encourage "After X/Y/Z" one after another either, this isn't a grade schooler's report on how to make peanut butter and jelly. This should be a well considered, encyclopedic summary. The AG section really is a ''good'' overview. It reads very well.
::::The current SM section practically comes off more as a journal, with an episode title starting basically every paragraph. I understand that it may seem difficult since that's ongoing. It's still subpar; not what we should really want. ...Or, heck, I could be half wrong. Maybe we could try to only have a broad strokes overview of most of the previous/current episodes, but—as it is the ongoing season—perhaps we could try to go into some more specific detail for the latest significant episode (such as, say, Ultra Guardians); but even that should remain as limited as possible, not letting half a dozen episodes' worth of specifics build up at the end of the section. (...I'm not demanding that the SM section change. I'm not part of the anime enough to keep that in check all the time. I'm just emphasizing that there are better things we could do—or will need to do once the series is over, at the very least.)

::::: Been thinking about this, and I think while I understand the way the paragraph beginnings look may not be ideal or sufficiently encyclopedic, I'm not hugely in favour of them being unsourced in any way either (or only sourced as far as "in the {{series|Advanced Generation}}" and so forth, even though the anime more often than not changes regions long-term within the same series). Whether this is on Ash in SM or in already-completed series. I just took "in [episode whatever]" thing as a kind of inelegant stopgap. [[User:TardisTybort|TardisTybort]] ([[User talk:TardisTybort|talk]]) 11:42, 24 April 2018 (UTC)
Kind of want to hear more opinions in the community before making any decision (I've been editing here a month, and Tiddlywinks by their own admission isn't involved much with anime characters).

[[User:TardisTybort|TardisTybort]] ([[User talk:TardisTybort|talk]]) 19:18, 2 May 2018 (UTC)
:I would agree with Tiddlywinks on this one.

==SM061==
Why aren't we counting Buzzwole as a fully owned Ash Pokemon? it's with the ones like Pokemon he borrowed and yet he clearly caught it so why don't we have a page with "Ash's Buzzwole". Sure he only had it for 7 seconds but a catch is a catch and I think it should be under released and have a profile of its own. He got a Pokeball, threw it at the Pokemon and caught it. He even did his, I CAUGHT A POKEMON! putting it with random Pokes he's borrowed or made friends with is misleading IMO because he literally caught it[[User:Muur1234|Muur1234]] ([[User talk:Muur1234|talk]]) 03:04, 7 July 2018 (UTC)
:The same reason Seaking is under temporary and not released, he had it for less than an episode. It's not notable for its own article, regardless of it being an Ultra Beast. There's literally nothing more you can add if it were given an article.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 04:37, 7 July 2018 (UTC)

:::The entire purpose of the Ultra Guardians is to catch and release Ultra Beasts back to their homeworlds. It was caught by Ash for the Ultra Guardians, not as a new addition to his personal team. It's not his Pokemon nor was it ever meant to be his, so there's no real reason to treat it as such. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 10:11, 7 July 2018 (UTC)

== Released Pokemon ==

As an Ultra Guardian, Ash has caught many ultra beasts that were afterwards released. Why are they not recorded in his released Pokémon section? {{unsigned|Elite4Alola}}
:Read Ataro's comment in the above section. The releasing of Ultra Beasts is not the same as Ash releasing his other Pokémon.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 04:53, 9 November 2018 (UTC)

== Z-Crystals ==

Sorry if this was answered before, I don't see it. But why was the decision to favor "Trials" over "Z-crystals" made. I find it absolutely troubling that NOT all of Ash's Z-Crystals are listed simply because Grand Trials and Trials somehow take precedence. Wouldn't it make more sense to focus on Z-crystals in this case OVER trials/grand trials since the Z-crystals are more important from a wikipedia/encyclopedia perspective (at least in my opinion). Granted maybe its simply because the section was about "challenges/tournaments/whatever you want to call them" and that's why. But I definitely don't understand the reasoning behind not putting ALL of Ash's Z-crystals on the page in some fashion. Seems incomplete and inaccurate to me. But that's just my opinion, I primarily just want an explanation for why all the Z-crystals aren't listed only focusing on the ones Ash got from trials/grand trials. --[[User:Dman dustin|Dman dustin]] ([[User talk:Dman dustin|talk]]) 18:11, 15 June 2019 (UTC)

Goodra should be added to "In training" since it was left in the care of another person like Squirtle and Primeape, and Ash has shown the ability to recall Goodra when he wants to.

:This has been [[Talk:Ash Ketchum/Archive 6#Why|discussed before]]. Goodra isn't under the care of anyone.

==Seaking==
[[File:Ash Pokémon Heisei Recap.png|thumb|250px]]
Now that Mimey seems to be considered a Pokémon Ash formally owned/owns, should Seaking be moved from the 'Temporary' section to the 'Released' section? Just like Mimey, it is also included in the ''Heisei History of Pocket Monsters: From Tuesday to Thursday, and Then Sunday'' special, alongside Ash's other Pokémon. Based on the list Seaking is considered to have been one of Ash's Pokémon, rather than just a temporary one. [[User:Satsjoe|Satsjoe]] ([[User talk:Satsjoe|talk]]) 15:52, 30 December 2019 (UTC)

== Ash's Pokemon Section: Are Greninja, Goodra and Naganadel "Formally Released"? ==

This article mentions Goodra, Greninja and Naganadel as "Formally Released Back Into the Wild".

However,

We never see the release animation like we saw with Butterfree, Pidgeot and Lapras

Both Goodra and Greninja were outside their pokeball when they parted ways

Goodra is literally under the care of the person who is in charge of the swamp

When Ash leaves Greninja with Zygarde, Zygarde says "Greninja will be under my care".

Goodra has comeback after being left in the swamp (like Gliscor and Charizard), it was never recaught.

In the first episode of Sun and Moon, Ash gives 5 pokeballs to oak implying that Ash still owns both Goodra and Greninja

When Naganadel comes back, Ash recalls it to its beast ball instead of recatching it. [Implying he never released it]

But, as we know, Once the Pokémon is released, it is removed from the player's possession and cannot be encountered again.

So stating that Ash has "Formally Released" them back into the wild is not true.

Here is what i think:
Goodra: Should be under the care of Keanan
Greninja: With Zygarde
Naganadel: Its World

They aren't formally released as long as these evidences are not invalidated. {{unsigned|Paree24}}
:The anime constantly changes over the years and the release animation of before is not going to be the same as it is now. And they are also known not to be consistent and forget things.
:And? Doesn't mean they're not released. They could've been released off screen and departed on screen.
:Keagan owns the swamp but is not looking after Goodra. Goodra just went home, it didn't go to Keagan to get stronger. Same with Greninja.
:Games=/=anime. Who says he needs to recatch it if he's already created a close bond with the Pokemon? And who's to say he needs to dispose of the Pokemon's Poke Ball after he's released it? It's all speculation. And Ash has met up with Lapras, so yes, a released Pokemon in the anime can be encountered again. Because the anime is not the game. It has its own rules.
:All three Pokemon returned (or were released) to the wild, they are not being cared for by another trainer.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 07:39, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
::If That is the case, why does the article say "Formally Released Back to the wild" and proceeds to link to a page which defines releasing as per the game definition? Isn't it contradicting what you said? Also Squirtle didn't go to train with Jenny/Make it more stronger, why is it in the training list if thats the case? Both Goodra and Squirtle can be called upon when needed and we have seen it in the anime. Also Squirtle was last seen in Oak's lab with the Squirtle Squad and Jenny wasn't even there/mentioned so how is Goodra different from Squirtle?
::Also by the definition of released according to the linked article, it can be caught by another trainer which is totally not the case if ash still owns them but left them somewhere. So, technically, Butterfree can be caught by another trainer but Greninja/Goodra/Naganadel cannot be since he still owns them. Releasing them offscreen is a speculation and is not fact. Infact the whole Greninja release(in care of zygarde and not released imo) arc took place on screen and there was no involvement of either pokeball/release animation either.

== Ash's Dragonite and Mimey ==

== Pokemon World Championship ranks? ==

What do you think about adding Ash current Rank in the Pokemon World Championship in the main information section and add possible Rank Changes as a separate column in the Achievement section, with hyperlinks to Episodes in which his Rank changed (Similar to Badges/Frontier Symbols obtained),
e.g.
1.4.6. Pokemon World Championship
1.4.6.1 Normal Rank (< Top 1000)
#3763 - win against Visquez (SS018)

etc.
: I think that may cause a clutter, it may suit easier to show his End of Season rank once the series is done; badges are finite, rank is continually in flux [[User:Azure42|Azure/ChromeVoid42]] ([[User talk:Azure42|talk]]) 20:30, 22 March 2020 (UTC)

'''Ash's Dragonite''' (Japanese: '''サトシのカイリュー''' ''Satoshi's Kairyu'') was the first {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} {{pkmn2|caught}} by {{Ash}} in the [[new series]], and his fifty-third overall.

==History==
[[File:Ash Dragonair.png|250px|thumb|left|As a Dragonair]]
{{Ash}} first encountered Dragonite as a {{p|Dragonair}}. Unlike the other Dragonair on its home island, it had trouble learning how to fly and use {{m|Dragon Dance}}. Seeing this, Ash offered to help Dragonair master the use of its wings. With an {{m|Electroweb}} trampoline provided by {{AP|Pikachu}}, Ash eventually managed to help Dragonair to learn to fly and master Dragon Dance. Dragonair then sensed that one of its {{p|Dragonite}} friends was in trouble and led Ash and {{an|Go}} to it. It turned out that {{TRT}} had captured the Dragonite, and sent out a {{p|Wailord}} to deal with them. One of Wailord's {{m|splash}}es sent Ash flying into the air, and Dragonair tried to save him. However, its skin was too slippery for Ash to hold on to, so it then proceeded to [[evolution|evolve]] into Dragonite and save Ash from the fall. After Team Rocket had been defeated, Dragonite expressed its willingness to come with Ash, so he {{pkmn2|caught}} it.

==Personality and characteristics==
Much like [[Ash's Muk]], Dragonite has a habit of embracing people it meets, as seen in [[SS010]], where it hugged [[Professor Sakuragi]]. Dragonite has unquestionable loyalty towards Ash, after he helped it learn how to fly and prefect Dragon Dance during its time as a Dragonair. Also, Dragonite is very caring towards anyone its closes to, and would risk its safety to protect them.

==Trivia==
* Dragonite is Ash's first:
** Non-temporary capture of a Pokémon that one of {{ashfr}} [[Iris's Dragonite|owned first]].
** Capture of a fully evolved Pokémon with an evolutionary line as his first new Pokémon in a new [[series]].
** [[Pseudo-legendary Pokémon]] caught in its fully evolved stage.
** Capture of a fully evolved Pokémon from an evolutionary line since {{AP|Noctowl}} in ''[[EP154|Fowl Play!]]'', 941 episodes before Dragonite's capture, and thus also his first such capture outside of the [[original series]].
** {{cat|Generation I Pokémon}} since {{AP|Snorlax}}.
* Dragonite is second pseudo-legendary Pokémon Ash has ever caught.
** However, it is currently the only one that Ash currently owns.

'''Mimey''' (Japanese: '''バリちゃん''' ''Barri-chan'') is a {{p|Mr. Mime}} belonging to [[Delia Ketchum]] that currently resides at the [[Sakuragi Institute]].

==History==
===[[Original series]]===
[[File:Delia and Mimey.png|thumb|250px|left|Mimey and Delia]]
Mimey debuted in ''[[EP064|It's Mr. Mime Time]]''. {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} first saw Mimey using its {{t|Psychic}} powers to climb an invisible barrier it created. Ash wanted to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} it, but a ringmaster named [[Stella]] wanted to catch it as well to inspire another {{p|Mr. Mime}} that worked on her circus. In the chaos, Mimey got away. {{an|Brock}} decided to help and had Ash dress as a Mr. Mime to help instead. When {{Delia}} and {{an|Professor Oak}} went to the circus, they found out about the plan. When the {{pkmn2|wild}} Mr. Mime Ash and his friends saw earlier came to her door, Delia thought it was Ash in costume, and provided it with food. When the real Ash showed up, still in costume, she was quite puzzled. It then teamed up with Delia to help stop {{TRT}} from stealing all the Pokémon in Stella's circus. Ever since then Delia has adopted it and affectionately [[nickname]]d it "Mimey".

==={{series|Advanced Generation}} and [[Pokémon Chronicles]]===
In ''[[HS04|Showdown at the Oak Corral]]'', Mimey helped ward off [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]] from [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]].

In ''[[HS14|Journey to the Starting Line!]]'', Mimey helped save the life of a {{p|Charmander}} that had fallen into a lake using {{m|Psychic}} to pluck it and {{Tracey}} out of the water.

An ill Mimey appeared in ''[[AG128|Shocks and Bonds]]''.

In ''[[AG132|The Scheme Team]]'', Mimey greeted Ash during his return to [[Pallet Town]] from [[Hoenn]].

In ''[[AG133|The Right Place and the Right Mime]]'', Mimey was seen sweeping Ash's house before answering the door for {{an|May}}.

In ''[[AG192|Home is Where the Start Is!]]'', Mimey welcomed Ash back to Oak's lab.
[[File:Mimey SM anime.png|200px|thumb|Mimey on vacation in [[Alola]]]]
==={{series|Best Wishes}}===
In ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]'', Mimey was overjoyed to see Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}} return to [[Pallet Town]].

==={{series|Sun & Moon}}===
In ''[[SM001|Alola to a New Adventure!]]'', Mimey joined Ash and Delia on their holiday to [[Alola]], where it was revealed that it was responsible for winning their tickets.

In ''[[SM024|Alolan Open House!]]'', Mimey accompanied Delia back to Alola. The two visited the [[Pokémon School]] during the Visiting Day.

In ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]'', Mimey welcomed Ash back when he, {{ashcl}}, [[Samson Oak]], and {{an|Professor Kukui}} arrived in Pallet Town.

In ''[[SM093|Lillier and the Staff!]]'', Mimey accompanied Delia to Alola so they could watch Ash perform in the school play and videoed the play.

In ''[[SM138|Final Rivals!]]'' and ''[[SM139|Enter the Champion!]]'', Mimey accompanied Delia and Professor Oak to Alola so they could watch and record Ash as he competed against {{an|Gladion}} during the [[Manalo Conference]].

In ''[[SM140|Z-Move Showdown!]]'', the closing ceremony of the Manalo Conference was disrupted by the appearance of a {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Manalo Stadium Guzzlord|Guzzlord}}. Mimey accompanied Delia and Professor Oak as they tried to leave, only for a {{Shiny}} {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Shiny Guzzlord|Guzzlord}} to block their way. However, it was quickly seen off by Professor Kukui and Ash.

From [[SM141]] and [[SM144]], Mimey watched the full {{wp|exhibition game|exhibition match}} between Professor Kukui and Ash.

===[[New series]]===
[[File:Ash and Mimey.png|thumb|250px|Mimey and Ash]]
In [[SS002]], Mimey traveled with Delia, Ash, and Professor Oak to [[Vermilion City]] to attend the opening of the [[Sakuragi Institute]]. After Ash and his new friend {{an|Go}} encountered a {{p|Lugia}} and reported this to [[Professor Sakuragi]], Sakuragi decided to make Ash and Go his new research assistants and gave them a room at the institute. Delia then decided to leave Mimey at the institute so it could watch over Ash.

In [[SS007]], Ash chose to use Mimey as his second Pokémon in {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}'s Flute Cup Tournament. It was first used to battle [[Houji]]'s {{p|Hariyama}} and easily won. When Houji sent out his {{p|Mightyena}} next, Mimey immediately gave up, forcing Ash to switch it with Pikachu.

[[File:Delia Mimey.png|thumb|220px|Delia taking care of a [[Illness in the Pokémon world|sick]] Mimey]]
[[File:Mimey pantomiming.png|thumb|left|250px|Mimey "eating"]]
Mimey will only listen to Delia and if anyone else gives it orders or asks it to do something, it will normally ignore them unless told otherwise by Delia. It greatly enjoys doing the household chores around the Ketchum home and does not like sharing its job with others. When Ash, {{an|Misty}}, and {{Tracey}} returned to Pallet Town following their journey through the [[Orange Archipelago]], it was revealed that {{an|Brock}} and Mimey had become rather competitive regarding household tasks while the two of them were sharing the house with Delia. It's also protective of Delia's property and will quickly spring into action to defend it as seen in ''[[EP116|The Rivalry Revival]]'' where it used {{m|Light Screen}} to keep {{TRT}} from trampling her garden. As shown in [[SS003]], Mimey can perform tasks such as cleaning and vaccuming by pantomiming. It was later shown "eating" with Ash and Go by pretending to peel and eat a banana.

Ash was shown to be somewhat envious of Delia's affection for Mimey; Delia once described it as more polite and helpful compared to Ash. He also became annoyed when Delia took its side after it had woken him up by using the vacuum on his face. Despite this, Ash and Mimey are on good terms, with Mimey happily accepting Ash's friendly greetings on his return trips to Pallet Town. Ash in particular is glad that Delia has Mimey as a housemate, as while he is on his journey, his mother will have company at home and will never be lonely.

'''Ash Ketchum''' (Japanese: '''サトシ''' ''Satoshi'') is the main character of the [[Pokémon anime]]. He is also the main character of various {{pkmn|manga}} based on the anime, including [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], [[Ash & Pikachu]], and {{OBP|Pocket Monsters Diamond & Pearl|Sakai Takayuki}}.

He is a [[Pokémon Trainer]] from [[Pallet Town]] whose goal is to become a [[Pokémon Master]]. His [[starter Pokémon]] was a {{AP|Pikachu}} that he received from {{an|Professor Oak}} after arriving late at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|his laboratory]]. In the {{series|Sun & Moon}}, he becomes the first {{pkmn|Champion}} of the [[Alola]] [[region]]'s [[Alola League|Pokémon League]].

He shares his Japanese name with the creator of the [[Pokémon]] franchise, [[Satoshi Tajiri]]. His English surname is a pun of the English motto, "[[Gotta catch 'em all!]]."

==In the anime==
===History===
====Pre-series====
[[File:Younger Ash XY.png|thumb|left|250px|Young Ash]]
In ''[[XY121|Seeing the Forest for the Trees!]]'', Ash remembered getting lost in the forest while looking for {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. He brought some [[wild Pokémon]] out of the rain and found them some shelter in a tree trunk. Ash's happiness about that moment made him think about how much he wanted to become a Pokémon Trainer.

[[SS001|At the age of six]], Ash learned that {{an|Professor Oak}} would be holding a Pokémon Summer Camp, and eagerly asked his mother {{Delia}} if he could attend. She accepted, but also told him that she had things to do outside of home during the day the camp took place, so he'd have to get himself there in time on his own. Unfortunately for Ash, he ended up breaking his alarm clock in his sleep and overslept, missing the camp.

Later, Ash managed to attend another one of Professor Oak's Pokémon Summer Camps. One day, another camper named {{an|Serena}} got lost in the forest and wounded her leg after getting startled by a {{p|Poliwag}}. Ash, who was looking for the Poliwag, came to her rescue and wrapped a handkerchief around the wounded knee to brace it. He then helped her up and guided her out of the forest.

In ''[[EP269|The Ties That Bind]]'', Ash recalled a day when he was about to start his [[Pokémon journey]]. He and [[Gary Oak]] both fished out an old, rusty {{i|Poké Ball}}, which snagged on both their lines. After arguing about who would keep it, they broke it in two, each keeping one half as a reminder of that day.

====[[Original series]]====
[[File:Ash fleeing Spearow.png|thumb|220px|Ash trying to keep Pikachu safe]]
In ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', Ash began his journey at the age of 10 as a warm-hearted and well-intentioned but stubborn, rash, and amateur [[Pokémon Trainer]]. He was forced to accept a [[Obedience|stubborn]] {{AP|Pikachu}} from Professor Oak as his [[starter Pokémon]] because he woke up late on the day he was set to get his first Pokémon. He was determined to achieve his goal and when Pikachu saw that he was willing to compromise his safety to keep it safe, the two of them formed an [[Friendship|extremely strong bond]] that has been noticed and remarked upon by many characters in the anime. This unbreakable friendship would set his course for the future.

In ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'', {{an|Misty}} told off Ash after she found her bike Ash had "borrowed" to save Pikachu with was wrecked. At the end of the episode, {{TRT}} made it their primary objective to steal Pikachu after witnessing Pikachu's power. Misty continued following Ash as he headed for [[Pewter City]], telling him in ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'' that she would continue following him until she was paid back for the bike.

Ash {{pkmn2|caught}} his first Pokémon, a {{AP|Caterpie}}, in ''[[EP003|Ash Catches a Pokémon]]''.

In ''Showdown in Pewter City'', Ash decided to compete in the [[Indigo League|Pokémon League]] regional championships by earning [[Badge]]s from [[Gym Leader]]s across the [[Kanto]] region. Ash fought {{an|Brock}}, the {{gy|Pewter}} Gym Leader, in a [[Pokémon battle]] and lost easily. During his [[rematch]], Ash nearly defeated Brock but refused to give the final blow due to the intervention of Brock's {{brocksib|younger siblings}}. Touched by Ash's kindness to Pokémon and with the return of his estranged father, {{ka|Flint}}, Brock decided to go with Ash and pursue his dream of being the world's best {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}} and gave Ash the {{Badge|Boulder}}.

In ''[[EP007|The Water Flowers of Cerulean City]]'', Ash reached the [[Cerulean Gym]] and was shocked to learn that Misty was one of its Gym Leaders. Though the match was interrupted when Team Rocket tried to steal the Pokémon from the Gym, [[The Sensational Sisters|Misty's sisters]] awarded Ash a {{Badge|Cascade}} when Pikachu saved the [[Gym]] with a {{m|Thunderbolt}}. He continued his journey with Misty, who had dreams of becoming the world's greatest {{t|Water}} Pokémon Master.

In ''[[EP011|Charmander – The Stray Pokémon]]'', Ash and friends discovered a {{AP|Charmander}} that had been left in the rain by its former trainer, [[Damian]]. Brock carried Charmander to the [[Pokémon Center]], while Ash held his coat over the Charmander's tail flame to keep it lit. After Charmander saved Pikachu from being taken by Team Rocket, Ash caught it.

Every time he thought he was doing well, Ash would somehow cross paths with his childhood [[rival]], Gary. Gary and Professor Oak reminded Ash that he was always a step behind Gary. In ''[[EP013|Mystery at the Lighthouse]]'', Professor Oak told Ash that Gary had caught 45 Pokémon at a point when Ash only had seven.

In ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]'', Ash and his friends were swept away onto [[Pokémon Land]], located on the [[Island of the Giant Pokémon]], after a group of {{p|Gyarados}} triggered a cyclone using {{m|Dragon Rage}}. Four of Ash's Pokémon, including Pikachu, had gone missing during the chaos, but they found their way back to him the following day. Ash and the others took a ferry back to the mainland from ''[[EP019|Tentacool & Tentacruel]]'' to ''[[EP020|The Ghost of Maiden's Peak]]''.

Many of Ash's first Gym Badges were given to him merely out of gratitude for his assistance, rather than claiming an actual victory in battle over the Gym Leaders. Of the first five Gym Badges that had been given to Ash in Kanto, only [[Lt. Surge]]'s {{Badge|Thunder}} in ''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown]]'' was earned from a victory in battle.

Ash's troubles were not made any easier when his Charmander, after evolving into a Charmeleon, and then a Charizard, grew too powerful and refused to listen to him until [[EP105|Ash could prove himself]].

Over time, Ash's dedication to his goal paid off. After earning his first eight Badges, Ash went on to compete in the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]], advancing to the fifth round - one further than Gary - and ending up in the Top 16.

Following Ash's defeat in the Indigo League, Professor Oak asked him to travel to [[Valencia Island]] in the [[Orange Archipelago]] to retrieve the [[GS Ball]] from a [[Pokémon Professor]] named {{prof|Ivy}}. While in the Orange Archipelago, Ash learned of the Orange Crew, an elite group of Trainers not unlike Gym Leaders, that provided challenges for Trainers to overcome in the [[Orange League]]. After Brock decided to stay with Professor Ivy and help her with her work, Ash and Misty were joined by an enthusiastic [[Pokémon watcher]] named [[Tracey Sketchit]]. Ash, Misty, and Tracey traversed the Orange Islands on the back of a lost {{AP|Lapras}}. Ash caught the Lapras during this time. He eventually defeated the four members of the Orange Crew and finally won the Orange League by triumphing over the [[Orange Crew Supreme Gym Leader]], {{OBP|Drake|Orange League}}. Before leaving the Orange Archipelago, Ash managed to find his Lapras's pod and [[release]]d it back into the wild. Upon returning to Pallet Town, Ash discovered that Brock had returned due to some unknown incident that left the aspiring Pokémon Breeder in dread of even hearing Professor Ivy's name. Meanwhile, Tracey stayed at [[Professor Oak's laboratory]] as Professor Oak's assistant, and Brock rejoined Ash and Misty. After his victory in the Orange League, Ash encountered Gary again, and after being defeated in a one-on-one battle, he learned that his rival had been training hard to participate in the [[Silver Conference]] in [[Johto]].

Excited at the prospect of meeting new Pokémon and facing Gary again, Ash and {{ashfr|friends}} left for the Johto [[region]] to collect eight Badges from the Gym Leaders in the Johto region and compete in the [[Johto League]]. Much like his travels through Kanto, Ash, Misty, and Brock impacted the many people and Pokémon they met along the way (one of them being [[Kurt]], to whom Ash delivered the GS Ball).

In ''[[EP178|The Grass Route]]'', Ash competed in the [[Grass Tournament]] with {{AP|Bulbasaur}}. He lost in the final round to [[Ephraim]]'s {{p|Skiploom}}.

Ash, along with Misty, competed in the [[Whirl Cup]] in the [[Whirl Islands]], with Ash placing in the Top 16. He was defeated by Misty in a 3-on-3; Misty ended up losing in the next round. Ash, along with [[Ritchie]], then helped save {{jo|Silver}}, a child {{p|Lugia}}, and its parent, from the evil machinations of Team Rocket.

Ash encountered Gary occasionally in Johto, and, while they were still rivals, Gary seemed to view Ash with slightly more respect than before. Ash's growth of character was evident throughout this story arc as he continued to think more and more about his Pokémon and less and less about himself. After earning eight Johto Gym Badges, Ash entered the Silver Conference with Gary. Finally, the two rivals battled in the tournament in a [[Full Battle]]. Although it was a close battle, Ash emerged victorious against his rival for the first time in his career as a Pokémon Trainer, marking one of the biggest turning points in said career. After the battle, Gary and Ash departed on good terms with each other, finally overcoming their boyhood animosity and recognizing each other as equals. Ash's journey through Kanto and Johto came to an end when he was forced to split up with Brock and Misty when the two of them received messages to return home.

===={{series|Advanced Generation}}====
After hearing about a distant region called [[Hoenn]] from {{jo|Harrison}}, the opponent he lost to in the Silver Conference, Ash decided to journey there and take only Pikachu with him this time. In Hoenn, Ash met a girl named {{an|May}} and her brother, [[Max]], who he later learned were [[Norman]]'s (the [[Petalburg City Gym]] Leader) children, and both of whom decided to join Ash on his travels. Shortly after the three companions left [[Petalburg City]], {{an|Brock}} rejoined the group when he saved them from a flock of angry {{p|Taillow}} and their {{AP|leader|Taillow}}. From that point onward, Ash journeyed through Hoenn with one old friend and two new friends, collecting Gym Badges in much the same fashion as before. Once May set her sights on becoming a [[Top Coordinator]], Ash supported her whenever he could while maintaining his focus on winning Badges. During these journeys, Ash and his friends ended up being entwined in the plots of the region's two rivaling [[villainous teams]], [[Team Aqua]] and [[Team Magma]], with Pikachu actually getting possessed by {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Groudon (AG)|Groudon}} in the summit of their conflict. Thanks to {{TRT}}'s (unintentional) help, they helped save the entire Hoenn region.

While Ash had no major recurring rival in Hoenn, he did encounter certain Trainers multiple times and formed friendly rivalries with them. One such friend was [[Morrison]], who was very similar to and just as competitive as Ash and was first introduced close to the end of the group's travels in Hoenn. Just like the Indigo Plateau and Silver Conferences, Ash did not win the [[Ever Grande Conference]], but he came very close before losing to {{ho|Tyson}}, who went on to win the tournament. After parting ways with May, Max, and Brock, Ash returned to Pallet Town. As he passed through [[Viridian City]] on his way back home, he met [[Scott]] and [[Agatha]] and learned about the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} in Kanto. He decided to take on the Battle Frontier and was surprised but happy to learn that Brock, May, and Max would join him on this adventure as well. Eventually, Ash conquered the seven [[Frontier Brain]]s and was offered the opportunity to become a Frontier Brain himself but declined in favor of continuing his Pokémon journey.

===={{series|Diamond & Pearl}}====
[[File:Ash arriving in Sinnoh.png|thumb|220px|Ash arriving in Sinnoh]]
Following Ash's victory over the Battle Frontier, May set her sights on [[Pokémon Contest]]s in the Johto region and traveled there while Max returned home to Petalburg City in Hoenn. After encountering and battling his old rival, Gary (who has now become a Pokémon researcher), and learning of a new region with new Pokémon, Ash decided to leave for the [[Sinnoh]] region to earn the Gym Badges available there. Like before, he took only Pikachu with him at first but brought his {{AP|Aipom}} along when she snuck onto the ship Ash was leaving on. While Brock did not directly accompany Ash to Sinnoh, he did meet with him while there and traveled with him through Sinnoh as he had for Kanto, Johto, and Hoenn. This time, they were accompanied by another aspiring [[Pokémon Coordinator]] named {{an|Dawn}}. Ash enthusiastically supported Dawn in her endeavors to become a Top Coordinator. Unlike May, he watched all of Dawn's Contests without being distracted by the need to train. Just as he supported Dawn in her Contests, she supported him in his Gym battles. She would even go as far as dressing up as a cheerleader with her Pokémon sometimes and cheer for him.

While traveling through Sinnoh, Ash formed a heated rivalry with a Trainer named [[Paul]]. Throughout Ash's journey, Paul would constantly put him down and the two often argued over their nearly opposite training styles. While Paul was harsh, distant, and sometimes plain cruel to his Pokémon, Ash insisted that the best way to raise Pokémon was through patience, caring, and friendship. Their rivalry came to a head after they competed in a [[Multi Battle|Tag Battle]] [[Hearthome City Tag Battle Competition|Tournament]] together, when Paul released his {{AP|Chimchar}} after it failed to meet his expectations. Ash then decided to take in the Chimp Pokémon and promised to make it strong using his philosophy. Although Ash always considered himself on par with him, Paul often bested him in battles as his Pokémon were very powerful, only keeping Pokémon that were naturally very strong. Ash's Pokémon, while strong in their own right, did not yet equal. This came to a devastating defeat at [[Lake Acuity]] for Ash, losing a Full Battle while only knocking out two of Paul's Pokémon. Ash recognized that he had to take Paul more seriously and cautiously in the future.
[[File:Ash Wallace Cup.png|thumb|left|220px|Ash in the Wallace Cup]]
[[File:Hearthome Collection Ash.png|thumb|220px|Ash in the Hearthome Collection]]
While in Sinnoh, Ash competed in two Pokémon Contests, once in [[Jubilife City]] and a second time in the [[Wallace Cup]] upon [[Wallace]]'s recommendation. He also competed against several [[Pokémon Stylist]]s in the [[Hearthome Collection]] fashion show in ''[[DP086|Arriving in Style!]]'', where he ended up in third place, winning the Unique Award for his original performance.

As Ash and his friends journeyed through Sinnoh, they ended up becoming heavily involved with legends of Sinnoh, with Ash being personally chosen by {{DL|Lake guardians (anime)|Azelf}} of the [[lake guardians]]. Along with [[Cynthia]], [[Looker]] and Team Rocket, they faced off against Pokémon Hunter [[J]] as well as the evil [[Team Galactic]]. Thanks to their efforts, the Sinnoh region was spared from [[Cyrus]]'s insane scheme.

Ash eventually obtained all of the Sinnoh Gym Badges he needed to enter Sinnoh's [[Pokémon League Conference]]. During his battles in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]], he managed to advance to the Top 4. For the second time since meeting Paul (the first being in a [[PokéRinger]] tournament during which Ash's {{p|Staravia}} evolved into a {{AP|Staraptor}} and defeated Paul's {{TP|Paul|Honchkrow}}), Ash managed to defeat his bitter rival, using {{p|Infernape}} (who had evolved from the {{p|Chimchar}} Paul abandoned) to deal the finishing blow. This confirmed Ash's beliefs in how to raise Pokémon, showing that though he took his time and raised his Pokémon with care and friendship they achieved the same results as Paul's methods. This caused Paul to finally acknowledge Ash as a Trainer of some merit, thus ending their arguments. Ash later fought against {{si|Tobias}}, becoming the only known Trainer to defeat his {{p|Darkrai}}. Although Ash ultimately lost the battle, he was not overly upset as he was closer to his Pokémon than ever before. At the conclusion of the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, Ash, Dawn, and Brock split up and went their separate ways, with Brock confirming that he would not be joining Ash on his travels to Unova as he decided to pursue his new dream of being a Pokémon doctor.

===={{series|Best Wishes}}====
In the {{series|Best Wishes}}, Ash traveled with Delia and Professor Oak on a trip to the [[Unova]] region. After losing in a battle to [[Trip]] and seeing the power of the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Zekrom}}, Ash became interested in traveling Unova to meet new Pokémon, as well as new friends. In Unova, he brought along only his Pikachu as he did in Hoenn.

Soon after he started his journey, Ash met {{an|Iris}}, a wild girl who is (as he later learns) a possible successor of the [[Opelucid City Gym]] and wishes to be a {{t|Dragon}} Master, and {{an|Cilan}}, one of the [[Striaton Gym]] Leaders, who aspires to be the world's greatest [[Pokémon Connoisseur]]. After Ash earns their interest by telling Iris of his encounter with Zekrom and battling Cilan for the Trio Badge, the three decide to travel together. During his time in Unova, along with his quest for the Badges, the three friends also competed in the local competitions [[Club Battle]], [[Clubsplosion]], and [[Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup]]. Despite battling quite well, Ash failed to win any of the tournaments and managed to be the runner-up of two of the three. Despite these mishaps, he was not upset to see his friends win the competitions instead of him.

As they journeyed, Ash and friends ended up again being caught up in Team Rocket's new plot, which was personally being supervised by Giovanni. This time, Team Rocket planned to take over the world using a {{an|Meloetta}} that Ash befriended to unleash the power of the {{an|Forces of Nature}}. Thanks to Cynthia and [[Ridley]], Ash and his friends managed to thwart Team Rocket's evil plot.

After managing to obtain eight Unova Gym Badges, Ash was allowed to participate in the [[Vertress Conference]] along with his current and some new rivals. In the preliminary round, Ash battled Trip one-on-one, defeating him for the first time and ending their rivalry. Ash also defeated his friend and rival, [[Stephan]], in the tournament. He then battled one of his newer rivals, {{un|Cameron}}, where he lost in ''[[BW108|A Unova League Evolution!]]'', ending in the Top 8 of the Vertress Conference.

After the Conference, the three friends decided to check out some ruins that [[Professor Juniper]]'s father, [[Cedric Juniper]] discovered, and on the way, they met with a strange young man named {{an|N}}. They soon became entwined in the plots of [[Ghetsis]], [[Colress]], and [[Team Plasma]] as they sought to take over the world using {{p|Reshiram}}'s power. Ash and his friends, along with Looker, the Team Rocket trio, Professor Cedric, as well as N, [[Anthea and Concordia]], managed to foil Plasma's evil scheme.

As their adventures started coming to a close, Ash and his friends decided to take the long way back to Kanto by sailing on a series of luxury liners through a chain of islands called the [[Decolore Islands]]. On the way, Ash met [[Alexa]], a Pokémon Journalist, from whom he learned of the [[Kalos]] region. Soon after they reach Kanto, Ash split up with Iris and Cilan, who wished to go in separate directions to follow their dreams.

===={{series|XY}}====
[[File:Baron Ash.png|thumb|220px|Ash as a Baron at the Battle Chateau]]
In the {{series|XY}}, Ash arrived at the Kalos region with Alexa, first visiting [[Lumiose City]], where he parted ways with the journalist and tried to challenge the [[Lumiose Gym]] at Prism Tower. He was forcibly ejected from the tower when the computerized security system, later revealed to be the [[Clembot]], found out that he didn't have any Kalos Badges. He was rescued by {{an|Clemont}} and {{an|Bonnie}}.

Ash brought an injured {{AP|Froakie}} to {{an|Professor Sycamore}}, who told Ash about an additional stage of Pokémon evolution he was researching called [[Mega Evolution]]. Assisted by Pikachu and Froakie, Ash calmed down an angry {{p|Garchomp}} belonging to Sycamore that was attacking Lumiose City. Ash saw a Mega Evolved Pokémon for the first time when a Mega {{p|Blaziken}} saved him and Pikachu from falling off of Prism Tower. Froakie then allowed itself to be captured by Ash, and Clemont and Bonnie started to travel with Ash.

Ash won his first Kalos Badge, the [[Bug Badge]], after defeating the {{ci|Santalune}} [[Santalune Gym|Gym]] Leader, [[Viola]]. The group was joined by Serena, who still remembered Ash rescuing her in her childhood and decided to start her journey to reunite with him, although he initially did not remember the two of them meeting. Ash and Serena learn that Clemont was the Lumiose Gym Leader, who was exiled from his Gym by his own invention. They help Clemont face Clembot, and after the issue was resolved, the two boys promised to battle after Ash fulfilled the original conditions set by Clembot (even if it was no longer necessary), to earn four Badges. With that, the group set off on their journey again. During their travels, they occasionally met the ninja boy [[Sanpei]], whose presence always led to progress in Froakie's (and later {{p|Frogadier}}'s and {{p|Greninja}}'s) strength.

Ash briefly traveled with the {{gy|Shalour}} Gym Leader [[Korrina]] to discover more about Mega Evolution and [[Mega Stone]]s.

Ash and his friends later attended Professor Sycamore's [[Pokémon Summer Camp]], where they met the trio of {{an|Shauna}}, {{an|Tierno}}, and {{an|Trevor}}, with whom the group started a friendly rivalry with. In Ash's case, his rivalry would mainly be with Trevor and Tierno as Serena and Shauna pursued [[Pokémon Showcase]]s.

During their journey, Ash caught a lost and traumatized {{p|Goomy}}, which he raised into a {{p|Sliggoo}}, and later, a powerful {{AP|Goodra}}. After earning his fourth Gym Badge, Ash eventually faced Clemont in their promised Gym Battle, and won with Goodra's help, gaining his fifth Badge. Later, Ash and friends come across Goodra's [[Kalos Route 14|old home]], where they discovered it was taken over by a {{an|Florges}} and her companions. After saving Goodra's swamp from Team Rocket while simultaneously solving the issue concerning Florges, Ash left Goodra in the wetlands so it could act as the protector of its swamp and the Pokémon living in it. Some time afterward, when Ash reached [[Laverre City]] to challenge the [[Laverre Gym|Gym]], he made a new rival in [[Sawyer]], a novice trainer hailing from Hoenn. Along the way, Ash would also support Serena in her quest to become Kalos Queen and gave her some helpful advice when she eventually lost, telling her that losing is simply another step towards victory.

Later in their journeys, Ash and friends reached [[Anistar City]] and, together with Professor Sycamore, they met the Gym Leader, [[Olympia]]. She revealed his Frogadier's past as a Froakie from before meeting Ash and a glimpse of Frogadier's, his friend's, Sycamore's, Team Rocket's, and his fate, indicating that they would all play a vital role in Kalos's future. Ash challenged her to a [[Double Battle]], which he won using Frogadier and {{AP|Talonflame}}.

Shortly after, the group came across a mysterious Pokémon, dubbed [[Squishy]] by Bonnie, who was being pursued relentlessly by the [[Villainous teams|villainous organization]], [[Team Flare]], prompting the group to put it under their protective custody. Some time afterward, Ash and his friends got involved in a conflict in Sanpei's [[Ninja Village|home town]], which led to Frogadier evolving into Greninja, as well as achieving [[Bond Phenomenon]] for the first time. During another confrontation with Team Flare in [[Terminus Cave]], Ash learned Bond Phenomenon came at a cost, as he was able to share Greninja's senses, but also share its pain.

Later on, Ash met up with [[Alain]], who became intrigued by Greninja's Bond Phenomenon and requested to battle Ash. Ash put up a decent fight but eventually lost. After his loss against Alain, Ash and Greninja began training to perfect Greninja's new form. Ash and Greninja later had a rematch with Alain and a battle against Diantha, during the latter Greninja even managed to reach its final Ash-Greninja form. Despite their training, the two were unsuccessful to master the transformation as Ash passed out during both battles from exhaustion from using the form.

After losing a rematch with Sawyer, in which Greninja even failed to transform, Ash began feeling doubtful of his ability to master the transformation. His confidence was shaken further after brutally losing to [[Wulfric]], the [[Snowbelle Gym]] Leader. After seeing how badly Greninja got hurt during their battle and blaming himself for the loss, a depressed Ash left into the [[Kalos Route 20|Winding Woods]] by himself. After an argument with Serena, Ash was able to get back to his old self. He later met up with Greninja, and while trying to save a wild {{p|Spewpa}}, the two were able to perfect Bond Phenomenon. With Greninja's Ash-Greninja form perfected, Ash was able to defeat Wulfric in a rematch, earning him his final Kalos Gym Badge and qualifying him for participation in the [[Lumiose Conference]].

After returning to Lumiose City, Ash entered the Lumiose Conference. Following several notable victories, Ash had Goodra rejoin his team for his semi-final battle against Sawyer. After a narrow victory in, Ash managed to defeat Sawyer and reach the finals of the Conference, marking his first appearance in the finals of a Pokémon League; where he would face Alain. On the night before the final battle, he and his friends learned more about the Ash-Greninja transformation. In the finals of the Lumiose Conference, Ash and Alain started a back and forth battle that eventually came down to Alain's Mega Charizard X against Ash's Greninja in its Ash-Greninja form. After a fierce battle, Greninja was defeated, causing Ash to end up as the Runner-Up of the Lumiose Conference. Ash showed great sincerity and principle following the battle, shaking Alain's hand regardless of the result.

[[File:Ash and Pokémon captured.png|thumb|left|250px|Ash and his Pokémon captured by Team Flare]]
During the closing ceremony of the conference, Team Flare began their final operation, using the power of the blue {{p|Zygarde}} {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Zygarde|Core}} [[Z2]] to cause massive roots to destroy parts of Lumiose City. Ash and his Pokémon were ultimately abducted by Team Flare and were taken captive at the top of Prism Tower, as [[Lysandre]] intended to use Ash and Greninja's Bond Phenomenon for his plans by using Team Flare's Mega Evolution energy ray to control them. After talking some sense into Alain, Ash resisted the machine's influence and broke free using Bond Phenomenon. Ash and Alain soon engaged in a battle against Lysandre, and ultimately managed to defeat him. When Ash later heard about the [[Giant Rock]], he met up with the rest to combat it. Thanks to everyone's combined effort, [[Chespie]] was saved from the Giant Rock. Squishy and Z2 ultimately destroyed the creature, before the two Zygarde left.

Following the crisis, Ash helped Alain and Serena resolve their issues and bade farewell to his rivals. Later, after dropping Goodra off at the wetlands again, the group came across [[Xerosic]], one of Team Flare's Scientists. Ash, his Greninja, and his friends and the gang were ultimately able to foil Xerosic's plans and hand him over to Officer Jenny. The group soon reunited with Squishy and Z2, who requested Greninja's help to obliterate the remaining negative energy left by Team Flare's crisis. Knowing this was for the sake of Kalos, Ash bade farewell to Greninja before Greninja left with the two Zygarde. After releasing Greninja, Ash and the gang headed back to Lumiose City to say their final goodbyes. After bidding farewell to Serena, who headed for Hoenn, Ash separated from Clemont and Bonnie as well and returned to Pallet Town.

===={{series|Sun & Moon}}====
Ash traveled with Delia to the [[Alola]] region after [[Mimey]] won the trip via lottery. It was shown that Ash gave his Kalos Pokémon to [[Professor Oak]], who gave him and his mother a Pokémon Egg to deliver to his cousin [[Samson Oak|Samson]]. While on [[Melemele Island]], Ash stumbled upon the [[Pokémon School]], where he met {{an|Lana}}, {{an|Lillie}}, {{an|Mallow}}, {{an|Kiawe}}, {{an|Sophocles}}, Samson, and {{an|Professor Kukui}} and learned about [[Z-Ring]]s and [[Z-Move]]s. Later on, he met {{DL|Guardian deities (anime)|Tapu Koko}}, the [[Guardian deities|guardian]] of Melemele Island, who gave Ash a Z-Ring and an [[Electrium Z]]. With these discoveries, Ash decided to remain in Alola to study at the school and learn more about Z-Moves, living with Professor Kukui.

Later, Tapu Koko challenged Ash and Pikachu to a battle. Ash's Electrium Z broke after Ash and Pikachu used the Z-Move {{m|Gigavolt Havoc}} on Tapu Koko. Ash then decided to take on the [[island challenge]] to obtain new [[Z-Crystal]]s and prove his worth.

Ash caught several Pokémon on Melemele Island, such as his {{AP|Rowlet}}, {{AP|Rockruff}}, and {{AP|Litten}}. Ash also got a [[Normalium Z]] after his fight with {{pkmn2|Totem}} {{p|Gumshoos}} on Melemele Island. Tapu Koko gave him a new Electrium Z after Ash won his grand trial battle with Melemele [[Island Kahuna]] [[Hala]]. Also, Ash struck up a friendly rivalry with Lillie's brother {{an|Gladion}}. He then gained a [[Grassium Z]] and [[Rockium Z]] during his trial and grand trial on [[Akala Island]]. He also briefly reunited with Brock, Misty, and some of his Pokémon during a field trip to Kanto for an extracurricular activity.

One day, Ash was entrusted to take care of a {{p|Cosmog}} by {{p|Solgaleo}} and {{p|Lunala}}, which he saw in a dream. The Cosmog, nicknamed {{DL|Light trio (anime)|Solgaleo|Nebby}} by Lillie, took a liking to Ash and frequently caused trouble with its ability to {{m|teleport}} people around. In ''[[SM050|Faba's Revenge!]]'', {{an|Faba}} kidnapped Nebby while Ash's attention was elsewhere. When Ash and Lillie learned about this, they enlisted Gladion and {{an|Lusamine}} in helping them rescue it. When the four found Faba, they also found that he successfully forced Nebby to summon a {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Nihilego}} from an Ultra Wormhole. After Nihilego kidnapped Lusamine and retreated into the Ultra Wormhole, Ash discovered that the incident caused Nebby to evolve into a {{p|Cosmoem}}.
[[File:Ash and Z-Power Ring.png|thumb|left|250px|Ash and his Z-Power Ring]]
Ash, his classmates, and Gladion then watched as the {{an|guardian deities}} helped Nebby evolve into the Legendary Pokémon Solgaleo and upgrade Ash's Z-Ring into a [[Z-Power Ring]]. With a [[Solganium Z]] he received from Nebby, Ash activated Solgaleo's Z-Move, {{m|Searing Sunraze Smash}}, and had Nebby opened up an Ultra Wormhole, allowing everyone to traverse through Ultra Space on Nebby's back. There, after Ash's Electrium Z temporarily transformed into a [[Pikashunium Z]], Ash and Pikachu used it to launch a {{m|10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt}}. The attack defeated Nihilego, weakening it long enough for Lillie and Gladion to pull their mother free from its hold. The Pikashunium Z then reverted to an Electrium Z. With their mission finished, Lusamine was taken back through the Ultra Wormhole to the Altar of the Sunne.
[[File:Ash Ultra Guardian outfit.png|thumb|250px|Ash in his Ultra Guardian uniform]]
During Kukui's and burnet's wedding reception in the aftermath of the incident, Ash and his friends were invited to join an {{an|Ultra Beasts|Ultra Beast}} response task force, known as the [[Ultra Guardians]], which they all agreed to. On their first mission, Ash and his classmates were assigned to capture a {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Buzzwole}} that had appeared through an Ultra Wormhole. The Ultra Guardians encountered it at [[Mahalo Trail]], where Ash eventually realized it preferred flexing to battling. As a result, Ash and Kiawe distracted it long enough for the former to throw a [[Beast Ball]] at it, successfully capturing it. Later, Buzzwole was brought to [[Melemele Meadow]], where [[Professor Burnet]] temporarily opened a new wormhole, allowing Buzzwole to return home.

Later, Ash encountered a {{AP|Poipole}} who seemed strangely attached to Pikachu. After a while, Poipole was confirmed to be an Ultra Beast. Ash was permitted to capture it, though he failed several times as Poipole thought the catching process was a game. After Ash helped it understand what was happening, Poipole allowed itself to be captured and was allowed to stay with the group until they could find its Ultra Wormhole and send it back.

Ash attempted to participate in the [[Ula'ula Island]] challenge, but he was rejected by [[Nanu]] and lost in an impromptu "pre-Trial". Afterward, Ash decided to stay on the island and train under {{DL|Guardian deities (anime)|Tapu Bulu}}. This allowed him to formally participate in his island challenge, which turned out to be a battle against [[Jessie's Mimikyu]], who recently gained a [[Mimikium Z]]. Ash barely won thanks to Pikachu learning {{m|Electroweb}}, as well as being able to once again use 10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt. Finally, Ash participated in the grand trial, where he faced off against Nanu in a 3-on-1 battle in Nanu's favor and won, earning himself a [[Lycanium Z]].

Ash led the Ultra Guardians investigation into mysterious dark clouds that appeared over the Alola region, causing all of the adults in Alola to lose their energy and motivation. The cause was revealed to be a {{DL|Light trio (anime)|Necrozma}} pursuing a {{DL|Light trio (anime)|Necrozma}}, which resulted in a massive battle against Necrozma. During this time, Nebby joined the fight; Necrozma possessed Lunala and then Nebby to become {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|Dawn Wings and Dusk Mane Necrozma}}, respectively; and the Ultra Guardians pursued Necrozma into [[Poipole's world]]. There, they learned about how Necrozma needed to regain its true form to release Nebby. After Ash and Gladion acquired Z-Crystals for Nebby and Lunala, the Ultra Guardians, with the help of their Pokémon, Lunala, Poipole's friends, and everyone else in Alola, shared their Z-Power with Necrozma, causing it to release Nebby. Afterward, Ash and Nebby used {{m|Searing Sunraze Smash}}, while Gladion and Lunala used {{m|Menacing Moonraze Maelstrom}} on Necrozma. The combined Z-Moves fully restored Necrozma's light, giving it the strength to become its true form, Ultra Necrozma. Afterward, the Ultra Guardians, Nebby, and Lunala traveled back to Alola through the Ultra Wormhole, while Ash said farewell to Poipole, who chose to stay behind in its world.

Later, Ash and his classmates arrived on Poni Island for their research projects for school. Ash's project was to have a grand trial battle. In ''[[SM109|A Grand Debut!]]'', Ash battled the newly-appointed Island Kahuna [[Hapu]] in a one-on-one battle and won. Letting Pikachu choose their reward for the completion, Ash received a [[Steelium Z]].
[[File:Ash Champion.png|thumb|left|250px|Ash after winning the Manalo Conference]]
Following this victory, Ash entered the first-ever [[Manalo Conference]], along with his classmates. He eventually made it to the semifinals, where he faced off against the [[Team Skull]] Boss [[Guzma]]. After a tough match, Ash was able to defeat him and advance to the finals, where he was set to face Gladion. On the night before the final battle, Ash's {{p|Meltan}} fused with {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Melmetal|its fellow Meltan}}, evolving into {{AP|Melmetal}}, which Ash ended up using as his first Pokémon in the finals. The match eventually resulted in a battle between the two Trainers' {{p|Lycanroc}}, with [[Ash's Lycanroc]] eventually emerging victorious, thus earning Ash the title of Alola League {{pkmn|Champion}}.

After winning the Alola League championship, Ash was given the right to have an {{wp|exhibition game|exhibition match}} against the Masked Royal. However, during a {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Guzzlord}} invasion of the [[Manalo Stadium]], the Masked Royal's true identity as Professor Kukui was exposed. With his cover blown, Kukui decided to battle Ash as himself and make the exhibition match a Full Battle, which Ash agreed to. During the battle, Ash's Torracat was finally able to defeat its longtime rival, [[Professor Kukui's Incineroar]], and evolve into an {{AP|Incineroar}} itself. Before Kukui could send out his last Pokémon, Tapu Koko appeared and took its place in the battle. When Ash was down to his last Pokémon, Pikachu, Tapu Koko gave Kukui a [[Tapunium Z]], while Ash's Electrium Z once again transformed into a Pikashunium Z, allowing both Pokémon to unleash their signature Z-Moves. In the end, Ash's Pikachu's Z-Move proved superior and defeated Tapu Koko, ending the exhibition match in Ash's victory.

After the Manalo Conference had ended, Ash was left unsure of what to do next. However, after hearing [[Olivia]] mention how important knowing the "outside world" is, he decided to return home and start traveling around the world. After saying farewell to his classmates, Kukui, and Burnet, he boarded a plane back to Kanto, leaving all of his current [[party]] Pokémon (excluding Pikachu) under the two Professors' care.

====[[New series]]====
In [[SS002]], Ash joined Professor Oak in attending the opening of the new [[Sakuragi Institute]] in [[Vermilion City]]. During the opening ceremony, the head of the institute, [[Professor Sakuragi]], informed the attendees that a rare Pokémon would be appearing at the local port shortly. Ash eagerly rushed over there and found out the rare Pokémon was a Lugia. During this encounter, he also met a boy named {{an|Go}}, and the two shared a ride with Lugia throughout Kanto. When they later returned to the Sakuragi Institute, Professor Sakuragi was amazed by the information they had gathered about Lugia, and he asked them to become his [[Professors' aides|research assistants]]. They accepted the offer and were provided with their own room to stay in. Delia also left Mimey at the institute to take care of Ash while he stayed there.

===Character===
[[File:Ash and Delia.png|thumb|250px|Ash and his mother]]
Ash is an only child who lived with his mother, {{Delia}}, until he left for his [[Pokémon journey]] at the age of ten. His main goal in life, as described in [[EP001|the first episode]], is to be the world's greatest [[Pokémon Master]]. One particular characteristic about Ash that has not changed throughout the series, aside from his determination and his passion for raising and training Pokémon, is that he is incredibly selfless. He will often go to extraordinary lengths to earn a Pokémon's trust and respect and to better understand a Pokémon that he sees as troubled. He is also very fair-minded and trusting, a true testament to his good-natured character.

Ash is shown to have a strong sense of justice, especially when it comes to Pokémon. If a Pokémon is in trouble, he will make every effort to help them, even if he has no prior connection to them. If they are the cause of trouble, he will stop them, and then try to understand them, with almost all such occasions being a case of the Pokémon, or their Trainers or friends, having a problem which can't be resolved normally. In those cases, he will selflessly volunteer to help them. Should the problem be caused by [[human]]s, such as {{TRT}}, {{pkmn|poacher|Pokémon thieves, hunters, or poachers}}, Ash will resolve to do anything in his power to stop them.

Despite this, and previous dealings with [[Villainous teams|evil organizations]], Ash has retained a remarkably optimistic and naive outlook, a trait {{ashfr|his companions}} seem to share. He is quick to praise and has an unshakable trust in both his Pokémon and his friends. Also, Ash is determined to see the best in everybody unless he has a very good reason not to. An example would be Team Rocket's frequent 'sudden appearances' that coincide with their needs at that time, and Ash never questioning it until it is too late. Another example would be how he always praises {{an|Clemont}} for [[Clemontic Gear|his inventions]], no matter their high failure rate, and the near-inevitable explosion, or {{an|Cilan}} for his various hobbies. Furthermore, even though almost all of his friends have large dreams, Ash fully supports them and has never doubted their ability to accomplish them, possibly due to his own highly ambitious goal. He also encourages Pokémon to do the best they can, even if they aren't his own and has even helped train [[wild Pokémon]].

In the [[original series]], though Ash actively took part in {{pkmn|battle}}s, he was rarely seen independently {{pkmn|training}} his Pokémon. However, since the {{series|Advanced Generation}}, Ash is shown training more noticeably, having practice battles with his friends and focusing on [[move]]s, techniques, and strategies with his Pokémon. A noticeable trait of Ash's is his willingness to learn from both his victories and defeats. For example, after winning in a [[Gym]] battle against [[Winona]] in ''[[AG085|Sky High Gym Battle!]]'' and witnessing her Pokémon's powerful {{m|Aerial Ace}}, Ash was motivated to have his {{AP|Swellow}} learn it. Even his losses can inspire him, such as when he lost to [[Clayton]] in ''[[DP159|Short and To the Punch!]]'' and decided to teach his {{AP|Buizel}} {{m|Ice Punch|one of the moves}} Clayton's {{p|Mr. Mime}} had used during their battle. He believes nothing he and his Pokémon do on their journey is a waste of time.

In the beginning, Ash had a bit of an inferiority complex, as well as some form of personal pride, most likely stemming from his [[rival]]ry with {{Gary}}. As a result, he had some bad habits, such as shamelessly boasting of his skill if he were ever on a winning streak, and becoming angered easily if he were personally insulted, as seen in ''[[EP008|The Path to the Pokémon League]]''. Ash used to complain about perfectly legal things, like [[Giselle]]'s {{p|Cubone}} using a bone in ''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]'', or [[Blaine]]'s use of the lava in ''[[EP059|Volcanic Panic]]''. He even locked himself up in his room and sulked after losing to [[Ritchie]], although this anger was not entirely unfounded as the loss came as a result of both his Charizard's disobedience and Team Rocket wearing out his other Pokémon before the match began. He overcame his disappointment after seeing and listening to how Ritchie took his loss as a way to better himself as a Trainer in ''[[EP080|Friends to the End]]''. Fortunately, during his journey, Ash has gotten over this particular character trait and is now more accepting of criticism of his skill, though he still gets upset if his Pokémon are insulted or degraded.

[[File:DP131.png|thumb|left|250px|Ash and Paul]]
Perhaps one of Ash's greatest rivalries was against [[Paul]] during his time in the [[Sinnoh]] region. On the contrary of Ash, who strongly believed in the [[Friendship|bond between Trainer and Pokémon]], Paul's only concern was with a Pokémon's strength, believing that bonding only caused them to become spoiled and unmotivated. Due to this, aside from winning the [[Sinnoh League]], Ash's biggest goal during his Sinnoh travels was to ultimately change Paul's mindset and have the latter finally acknowledge him as a Trainer worth of his attention. After a long and exhausting journey, he finally managed to accomplish this after defeating Paul at the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]], after which Paul finally recognized Ash as his rival and equal.

In most episodes of the anime, especially those during the {{DL|List of original series episodes|Johto League arc}}, 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 friends, particularly the maternal skills of {{an|Brock}}. The honor of "best friend" 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 {{an|Misty}} and Brock in ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]'' as well as {{an|May}} and [[Max]] in ''[[AG178|Battling the Enemy Within]]''.

Ash has changed a great deal throughout the series, particularly in regards to his skill at [[Pokémon training]], but his earnestness, rashness, and determination have remained. Never straying from his goal, he has remained loyal to his friends, family, and 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. For example, when he received a banner filled with prints from his Pokémon in ''[[AG187|The Unbeatable Lightness of Seeing!]]'', he knew which Pokémon placed specific prints, showing his close bond with them. He also learns 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. In another instance, his {{AP|Charizard}} defeated [[Gary's Blastoise]] by causing the field to overheat before mounting a close-quarters attack while Blastoise was blinded by the steam. He also prefers to train a Pokémon to be the best it can without forcing it to [[Evolution|evolve]], as evidenced by his treatment of {{AP|Gligar}} in ''[[DP085|Fighting Fear With Fear!]]''. He is happy when his Pokémon evolve but lets them choose whether or not they want to evolve instead of forcing them.

[[File:Ash catches a Pokémon SM.png|thumb|250px|Ash after catching a Pokémon]]
Physically, Ash is in very good shape, especially for someone 10 years of age. He has constantly been shown to have a lot of stamina, walking miles upon miles through all kinds of environments, while journeying between towns on his journey. He also has huge endurance, as seen when he took powerful attacks from various Pokémon head-on and then recovering quite quickly. Furthermore, Ash has demonstrated himself to be a bit acrobatic, occasionally being able to keep up with {{an|Iris}}, who virtually grew up swinging and jumping through treetops. Ash has occasionally displayed great reflexes, being able to dodge attacks or catch falling objects out of the blue, and even being able to save himself, or others, in the last second during perilous situations. What's more, Ash has exhibited tremendous will power, as seen when he took attacks for long periods and keeps advancing, which also drives his "never give up" attitude when it comes to Pokémon battles. He is also strong, being capable of picking up heavy Pokémon such as Larvitar and Hippopotas.

Ash is also quite dense when it comes to matters of the opposite sex, more specifically in the field of [[Shipping|romance]]. Throughout the series, Ash has only displayed open interest in a [[Giselle|female]] only [[EP009|once]], and nothing came out of it. Though some girls in the series have shown obvious (and subtle) affection towards him, Ash meets it with nearly unfailing obtuseness, which some characters have also noticed. Even when it involves other people's romance, Ash is usually oblivious until someone points it out to him. Also, on a few occasions when it came to a matter of Pokémon love, with a male who's experiencing difficulty in gaining the attention of a female, while his friends will often mainly advise on improving the male's looks or charm, Ash's advice is simply to be stronger. Despite this, however, it is shown on several occasions that Ash does seem to understand the concept of marriage, most notably in ''[[SM055|The Professors' New Adventure]]'', when he got excited by the news of {{an|Professor Kukui}} and [[Professor Burnet]]'s engagement, and subsequently worked with his classmates to organize a big wedding ceremony for them.

Early on, Ash originally trained not to further himself but instead to catch more Pokémon than Gary, a feat that he never accomplished. Ash later slowed his pace, which allowed him to focus on the individual traits of each Pokémon. At the [[Silver Conference]], with great humility and maturity, Ash finally won a battle against his old rival, signifying a great milestone in his history as a Trainer. His maturity has also increased in his dealings with Pokémon. This was shown when {{AP|a Mankey|Primeape}} 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 an {{AP|Aipom}} did the same in ''[[AG179|Slaking Kong]]'', he stated merely that he would feel strange without a hat. When Aipom stole his hat again on several future occasions, however, while she was under his ownership, he chased after her in the same manner as before, most likely out of exasperation that she still hadn't learned her lesson.

Ash has traversed much of the [[Pokémon world]] and has thus far participated in various [[Pokémon League Conference]]s, but he is still learning new things about Pokémon all the time. He has also gained a close connection with many {{pkmn2|Legendary}} and [[Mythical Pokémon]], such as the ones who played major roles in the {{pkmn|movies}}. In the English dub [[M02|second movie]], he was revealed to be "The Chosen One" - the one who would bring balance back to the world when it was disrupted.
[[File:Ash Aura.png|thumb|left|250px|Ash using Aura inside the [[Tree of Beginning]]]]
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. Therefore, he made a connection with Sir Aaron's {{OBP|Lucario|M08}}. 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|Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! Part 1]]'' and ''[[DP072|Part 2]]'', Ash uses Aura again to locate a lost {{p|Riolu}} and read Riolu's mind as well. This time, however, he merely senses the Aura, rather than manipulating it. Ash also has the unique ability to use [[Bond Phenomenon]].

Though his passion remains in battling, Ash is always eager to try new things, especially if he can do them together with {{cat|Ash's Pokémon|his Pokémon}}, having participated in other events like [[Pokémon Contest]]s, [[PokéRinger]] tournaments, and even a [[Hearthome Collection|fashion show]] and a {{pkmn|Dress-Up Contest|cosplay convention}} as well as various other {{cat|Pokémon competitions}}. He has [[Contest Pass]]es for [[Sinnoh]] and [[Hoenn]]. Ash carries with him half of a broken {{i|Poké Ball}}, while [[Gary Oak]] has the other half, as a symbol of their ongoing, but now friendly, rivalry; [[Misty's special lure]], which she sent to him as a gift; and half of the {{DL|Ribbon|Terracotta Medal}} he received after his [[Contest Battle]] with May in the unofficial {{to|Terracotta}} Contest ended in a tie.

His father has not been introduced. The anime suggests that his father was once a Pokémon Trainer who began his journey in Pallet Town and that he is still living. In the original, he is also confirmed to have a grandfather, whose son followed his footsteps. An interview with the series' storyboarder [[Masamitsu Hidaka]] confirmed Ash's father is a Trainer on his own journey. According to Hidaka, Ash's father may or may not be introduced in the series, depending on its necessity to further Ash's maturity and development as a Trainer. On the other hand, according to [[Pocket Monsters: The Animation|Takeshi Shudō's novelization]], Ash's father left home to go on a journey right after Ash was born, and never returned since. As he never registered his name in the Pokémon Trainer's list, his whereabouts are unknown.

[[File:Ash with his Pokémon.png|thumb|280px|Ash with all his Pokémon as of ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]'' (excluding {{AP|Squirtle}} and {{AP|Primeape}}) at Professor Oak's lab]]
[[File:Ash Kalos Team.png|thumb|280px|Ash with all his [[Kalos]] Pokémon]]
As a Trainer, Ash has {{pkmn2|caught}} and [[Friendship|befriended]] a sizable number of Pokémon throughout the anime. His philosophy on {{pkmn|training}} is that Pokémon are individuals and that a combination of trust, friendship, and hard work are needed to overcome adversity. Several of Ash's Pokémon were caught because they allowed him to after he befriended them. He seems to {{pkmn|battle}} best with Pokémon that are similar to Pikachu: ones that are [[Appendix:Metagame terminology#Sweeper|speedy and maneuverable, yet able to perform high-powered attacks]]; however, he is willing to work with any Pokémon that comes into his care.

Ash's battle style is generally spontaneous and fairly unorthodox, and his Pokémon often reflect these traits. He has been shown to use unusual strategies. For instance, during the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, he incorporated a twisting-spinning type maneuver in his Pokémon's offensive and defensive techniques, which eventually lead to him creating the original technique, [[Counter Shield]]. Also, sometimes he will use someone else's battle strategies as shown with [[Paul]] and {{an|Tierno}}, though when using the latter's, Ash stated that his unique strategy is the one he can truly count on, instead of simply mimicking others.

Ash is very attached to his Pokémon and prefers to battle and train with them personally. Furthermore, he cares about their opinion, even giving them the option of whether they should [[Evolution|evolve]] or not. As such, the majority of his Pokémon also share Ash's stubborn and reckless nature, persistently attempting to rise and continue the battle, even after receiving a great amount of damage and being at the end of their rope. However, if it is by their wish, or if he believes it is best for them, Ash will (if sometimes reluctantly) [[trade]] or [[Released Pokémon|release]] them, and in some cases, leave them with more experienced individuals so that they could get stronger.

Though Ash normally catches five or more Pokémon per [[region]] (not including when he traveled through the [[Orange Archipelago]] and challenged the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} in his second tour of [[Kanto]]), he rarely ever switches the Pokémon in his current [[party]] with those in [[Pokémon Storage System|storage]] at {{an|Professor Oak}}'s [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|Laboratory]]. He usually only does so when battling against powerful opponents (such as Trainers in the [[Pokémon League Conference]]s, and [[Frontier Brain]]s), or when attending certain events that requires a specific Pokémon (like {{AP|Tauros}} at the [[Pokémon Swap Meet]] or {{AP|Snorlax}} at the [[Sumo Conference]]). However, during the {{series|Best Wishes}}, Ash actively cycled through the nine Pokémon he managed to catch in [[Unova]], although these Pokémon, when not in his party, were instead kept in storage at [[Professor Juniper]]'s lab in [[Nuvema Town]]. Near the end of his journey in Unova, Professor Juniper transferred all of Ash's Pokémon to Professor Oak's lab. Ash did not use this system of training in the [[XY series|following series]].

Ash currently has ownership of 71 Pokémon, including all 30 of his Tauros. Including pre-evolutions, traded, released, and [[Gift Pokémon|given away]] Pokémon (and not including the additional Tauros), in total, Ash has currently officially owned a total of 90 different Pokémon species.

===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
{{main|Ash Ketchum (EToP)}}
Ash Ketchum is a starring character in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], a manga series based on the anime. Ash's journey in The Electric Tale of Pikachu follows roughly the same plot as in the anime: first traveling the [[Kanto]] region to participate in the [[Pokémon League]], before embarking on a journey around the [[Orange Archipelago]].

===In the Magical Pokémon Journey manga===
Ash, along with {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}}, made cameo appearances in bonus chapters of [[Magical Pokémon Journey]]. In the bonus chapters, Ash and {{ashfr}} have mistakenly wandered into the world Magical Pokémon Journey is set in. The bonus chapters chronicle their attempts to return to their world (of the {{pkmn|anime}}) and their encounters with various aspects of the Magical Pokémon Journey canon which differ from the anime's canon (such as the use of [[Poké Ball]]s).

===In the Pocket Monsters Diamond & Pearl manga===
[[File:Ash Ketchum PDP.png|thumb|150px|Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}} in {{OBP|Pocket Monsters Diamond & Pearl|Sakai Takayuki}}]]
{{incomplete|section|Details of his role in the manga}}
Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}} appear as main characters alongside {{an|Dawn}} and her {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} in {{OBP|Pocket Monsters Diamond & Pearl|Sakai Takayuki}}, an adaptation of the anime set in the timeline of the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}.

===In the movie adaptations===
[[File:DP series trio.png|thumb|200px|Ash with his friends in the movie 10 manga adaptation]]
Since Ash and his Pikachu have appeared in every animated Pokémon movie to date, likewise, Ash is the main character in every [[Pokémon manga#Movie manga adaptations|Pokémon movie manga adaptation]]. The same applies to Ash's team as they made similar appearances.
{{-}}

==In the games==
===In the core series===
In the {{FB|Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon|Special Demo Version}} of {{g|Sun and Moon}}, Ash sends an unsigned letter and [[Ash's Greninja|his Greninja]] (with "Ash" as Greninja's [[Original Trainer]]) to {{ga|Elio}}, the player character. Like in the anime, Ash's Greninja can transform into [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Greninja|Ash-Greninja]] by using its unique [[Ability]], {{a|Battle Bond}}.

====In {{pkmn|event}}s====
Several [[event Pokémon]] based on Ash's Pokémon have been made over the course of the franchise. In addition to the aforementioned Greninja, a special form of {{p|Pikachu}} [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Pikachu in a cap|wearing Ash's different hats]] up to the {{series|Sun & Moon}} were made available in {{g|Sun and Moon}}. In {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, an addiitional Pikachu wearing [[Ash's hat]] from ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'' also appeared.

==Trivia==
[[File:Ash hat OS concept art.jpg|thumb|160px|Concept art of original series Ash's hat]]
* Ash's hat in the [[original series]] was similar to {{ga|Red}}'s hat in his original design from {{game|Red and Green|s}} before undergoing several changes until the final design.
* Ash has never officially {{pkmn2|caught}} a Pokémon of the {{t|Psychic}}, {{t|Ghost}}, or {{t|Fairy}} types; a [[regional form]]; a female-only; or a [[Legendary Pokémon]]; nor has he [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] any of his Pokémon.
* Ash has captured at least one of the [[starter Pokémon]] in every [[region]].
* Ash's birthday in the main series of the anime, according to [[Takeshi Shudo]]'s anime novelizations, is 10 years, 10 months, and 10 days ''exactly'' before the day he began his Pokémon journey. In [[M20]], Ash's birthdate is instead the same day he began his journey.
** On a related note, Ash is still considered 10 years old in promotional materials as well as the [[BW001|first episode]] of ''Best Wishes'' despite ''[[BW141|Best Wishes Until We Meet Again!]]'' strongly implying that at least a full year had passed since his time in Johto.
* When [[Veronica Taylor]] was interviewed in the documentary "Adventures in Voice Acting", she stated that during her audition for the role of Ash, he was known as Casey at the time. This name would later be given to a {{an|Casey|recurring character from Johto}}.
[[File:Ash Dewgong Drawing.png|thumb|200px|Ash's drawing of a Dewgong]]
* Ash can {{wp|drawing|draw}}, as shown in ''[[DP089|Up Close and Personable!]]'' when he drew a {{p|Dewgong}}. However, this drawing was insulted by [[Angie]].
* Ash has been shown to be a good climber, as mentioned in ''[[M04|Celebi: The Voice of the Forest]]'' (when {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} say "He climbs like a {{p|Mankey}}!") and ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'' (when Brock calls him a "human {{p|Aipom}}"). Ash's climbing ability has also been shown in several episodes throughout the series, such as ''[[BW002|Enter Iris and Axew!]]'', when he climbs up a tree to try to save {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Iris|Axew}}, and in ''[[XY025|Climbing the Walls!]]'', in which he climbed up the rock-climbing wall up to [[Grant]] to face him and win the {{badge|Cliff}}.
* Ash has lost a match against every {{type|Normal}} [[Gym Leader]] he has faced: [[Whitney]] in ''[[EP158|A Goldenrod Opportunity]]'', [[Norman]] in ''[[AG003|There's no Place Like Hoenn]]'', [[Lenora]] in ''[[BW015|The Battle According to Lenora]]'', and [[Cheren]] in ''[[BW111|There's a New Gym Leader in Town!]]''.
* Ash has lost at least one official Gym battle in every region. He lost to {{an|Brock}}, [[Lt. Surge]], [[Sabrina]], and [[Blaine]] in Kanto, [[Whitney]] in Johto, [[Brawly]] in Hoenn, [[Roark]] in Sinnoh, [[Lenora]] in Unova, and [[Viola]] and [[Wulfric]] in Kalos. He also lost to [[Cress]] in Unova, but he didn't need a rematch since he defeated both {{an|Cilan}} and [[Chili]].
** Ash also lost battles with [[Frontier Brain]]s during the [[S09|Battle Frontier arc]] of the anime, losing once to {{FB|Salon Maiden|Anabel}} and twice to {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}}.
** Ash also lost trials to [[Island Kahuna]]s in the {{series|Sun and Moon}} of the anime, losing once to [[Nanu]].
* Ever since facing [[Wattson]] in ''[[AG040|Watt's with Wattson?]]'', Ash has not won a Gym [[Badge]] in the same episode in which he meets the [[Gym Leader]].
* Ash shares at least one Pokémon of the same evolutionary family with one of his rivals in each series.

Azure42: /* History */

{{samename|other [[character of the day]] whose Japanese name is Hiroki|Hamilton}}
[[File:Hiroki.png|thumb|250px|Hiroki]]
'''Hiroki''' (Japanese: '''ヒロキ''' ''Hiroki'') is a recurring character who appeared in the [[Pokémon anime]]. He is a student at the [[Pokémon School]] on [[Melemele Island]].

==History==
Hiroki debuted in ''[[SM019|A Guardian Rematch!]]'', where he was seen having a {{pkmn|battle}} against {{Ash}} and his {{AP|Rockruff}}. He was soon defeated.

In ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]'', Hiroki was seen heading to [[Kanto]] on the same plane as Ash and {{ashcl}}.

Hiroki was one of the {{pkmn|Trainer}}s that had his [[Z-Crystal]] stolen by a {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Pheromosa}} in ''[[SM114|Beauty is Only Crystal Deep!]]''.

In ''[[SM129|Battle Royal 151!]]'', Hiroki was among the 151 Trainers taking part in the [[Battle Royal]] preliminary round of the [[Manalo Conference]], which he entered with his Mudbray. After challenging the others to take him on, he was swiftly defeated, becoming the first to be knocked out. In the same episode's [[Poké Problem]] segment, he was shown being upset and angry after seeing the Top 16 being announced.

==Character==
Hiroki is a serious individual. He was overly confident in his appearance in ''[[SM129|Battle Royal 151!]]'', calling for the other [[Manalo Conference]] competitors to take him on. However, he suffered a quick defeat, bruising his ego.

{{spoilers}}

==In the anime==
===History===
====Pre-series====
In ''[[XY121|Seeing the Forest for the Trees!]]'', Ash remembered getting lost in the forest while looking for {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. He brought some [[wild Pokémon]] out of the rain and found them some shelter in a tree trunk. Ash's happiness about that moment made him think about how much he wanted to become a Pokémon Trainer.

Ash also enrolled in {{an|Professor Oak}}'s Pokémon Summer Camp when he was young. One day, another camper named {{an|Serena}} got lost in the forest and wounded her leg after getting startled by a {{p|Poliwag}}. Ash, who was looking for the Poliwag, came to her rescue and wrapped a handkerchief around the wounded knee to brace it. He then helped her up and guided her out of the forest.

In ''[[EP269|The Ties That Bind]]'', Ash recalled a day when he was about to start his [[Pokémon journey]]. He and [[Gary Oak]] both fished out an old, rusty {{i|Poké Ball}}, which snagged on both their lines. After arguing about who would keep it, they broke it in two, each keeping one half as a reminder of that day.

====[[Original series]]====
[[File:Ash fleeing Spearow.png|thumb|220px|Ash trying to keep Pikachu safe]]
In ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', Ash began his journey at the age of 10 as a warm-hearted and well-intentioned but stubborn, rash, and amateur [[Pokémon Trainer]]. He was forced to accept a [[Obedience|stubborn]] {{AP|Pikachu}} from Professor Oak as his [[starter Pokémon]] because he woke up late on the day he was set to get his first Pokémon. He was determined to achieve his goal and when Pikachu saw that he was willing to compromise his own safety to keep it safe, the two of them formed an [[Friendship|extremely strong bond]] that has been noticed and remarked upon by many characters in the anime. This unbreakable friendship would set his course for the future.

In ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'', {{an|Misty}} told off Ash after she found her bike Ash had "borrowed" to save Pikachu with was wrecked. At the end of the episode, {{TRT}} made it their primary objective to steal Pikachu after witnessing Pikachu's power. Misty continued following Ash as he headed for [[Pewter City]], telling him in ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'' that she would continue following him until she was paid back for the bike.

Ash {{pkmn2|caught}} his first Pokémon, a {{AP|Caterpie}}, in ''[[EP003|Ash Catches a Pokémon]]''.

In ''Showdown in Pewter City'', Ash decided to compete in the [[Indigo League|Pokémon League]] regional championships by earning [[Badge]]s from [[Gym Leader]]s across the [[Kanto]] region. Ash fought {{an|Brock}}, the {{gy|Pewter}} Gym Leader, in a [[Pokémon battle]] and lost easily. During his [[rematch]], Ash nearly defeated Brock, but refused to give the final blow due to the intervention of Brock's {{brocksib|younger siblings}}. Touched by Ash's kindness to Pokémon and with the return of his estranged father, {{ka|Flint}}, Brock decided to go with Ash and pursue his dream of being the world's best {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}}, and gave Ash the {{Badge|Boulder}}.

In ''[[EP007|The Water Flowers of Cerulean City]]'', Ash reached the [[Cerulean Gym]] and was shocked to learn that Misty was one of its Gym Leaders. Though the match was interrupted when Team Rocket tried to steal the Pokémon from the Gym, [[The Sensational Sisters|Misty's sisters]] awarded Ash a {{Badge|Cascade}} when Pikachu saved the [[Gym]] with a {{m|Thunderbolt}}. He continued his journey with Misty, who had dreams of becoming the world's greatest {{t|Water}} Pokémon Master.

In ''[[EP011|Charmander – The Stray Pokémon]]'', Ash and friends discovered a {{AP|Charmander}} that had been left in the rain by its former trainer, [[Damian]]. Brock carried Charmander to the [[Pokémon Center]], while Ash held his coat over the Charmander's tail flame to keep it lit. After Charmander saved Pikachu from being taken by Team Rocket, Ash caught it.

Every time he thought he was doing well, Ash would somehow cross paths with his childhood [[rival]], Gary. Gary and Professor Oak reminded Ash that he was always a step behind Gary. In ''[[EP013|Mystery at the Lighthouse]]'', Professor Oak told Ash that Gary had caught 45 Pokémon at a point when Ash only had seven.

In ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]'', Ash and his friends were swept away onto [[Pokémon Land]], located on the [[Island of the Giant Pokémon]], after a group of {{p|Gyarados}} triggered a cyclone using {{m|Dragon Rage}}. Four of Ash's Pokémon, including Pikachu, had gone missing during the chaos, but they found their way back to him the following day. Ash and the others took a ferry back to the mainland from ''[[EP019|Tentacool & Tentacruel]]'' to ''[[EP020|The Ghost of Maiden's Peak]]''.

Many of Ash's first Gym Badges were given to him merely out of gratitude for his assistance, rather than claiming an actual victory in battle over the Gym Leaders. Of the first five Gym Badges that had been given to Ash in Kanto, only [[Lt. Surge]]'s {{Badge|Thunder}} in ''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown]]'' was earned from a victory in battle.

Ash's troubles were not made any easier when his Charmander, after evolving into a Charmeleon, and then a Charizard, grew too powerful and refused to listen to him until [[EP105|Ash could prove himself]].

Over time, Ash's dedication to his goal paid off. After earning his first eight Badges, Ash went on to compete in the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]], advancing to the fifth round - one further than Gary - and ending up in the Top 16.

Following Ash's defeat in the Indigo League, Professor Oak asked him to travel to [[Valencia Island]] in the [[Orange Archipelago]] to retrieve the [[GS Ball]] from a [[Pokémon Professor]] named {{prof|Ivy}}. While in the Orange Archipelago, Ash learned of the Orange Crew, an elite group of Trainers not unlike Gym Leaders, that provided challenges for Trainers to overcome in the [[Orange League]]. After Brock decided to stay with Professor Ivy and help her with her work, Ash and Misty were joined by an enthusiastic [[Pokémon watcher]] named [[Tracey Sketchit]]. Ash, Misty, and Tracey traversed the Orange Islands on the back of a lost {{AP|Lapras}}. Ash caught the Lapras during this time. He eventually defeated the four members of the Orange Crew and finally won the Orange League by triumphing over the [[Orange Crew Supreme Gym Leader]], {{OBP|Drake|Orange League}}. Before leaving the Orange Archipelago, Ash managed to find his Lapras's pod and [[release]]d it back into the wild. Upon returning to Pallet Town, Ash discovered that Brock had returned due to some unknown incident that left the aspiring Pokémon Breeder in dread of even hearing Professor Ivy's name. Meanwhile, Tracey stayed at [[Professor Oak's laboratory]] as Professor Oak's assistant, and Brock rejoined Ash and Misty. After his victory in the Orange League, Ash encountered Gary again, and after being defeated in a one-on-one battle, he learned that his rival had been training hard in order to participate in the [[Silver Conference]] in [[Johto]].

Excited at the prospect of meeting new Pokémon and facing Gary again, Ash and {{ashfr|friends}} left for the Johto [[region]] to collect eight Badges from the Gym Leaders in the Johto region and compete in the [[Johto League]]. Much like his travels through Kanto, Ash, Misty, and Brock impacted the many people and Pokémon they met along the way (one of them being [[Kurt]], to whom Ash delivered the GS Ball).

In ''[[EP178|The Grass Route]]'', Ash competed in the [[Grass Tournament]] with {{AP|Bulbasaur}}. He lost in the final round to [[Ephraim]]'s {{p|Skiploom}}.

Ash, along with Misty, competed in the [[Whirl Cup]] in the [[Whirl Islands]], with Ash placing in the Top 16. He was defeated by Misty in a 3-on-3; Misty ended up losing in the next round. Ash, along with [[Ritchie]], then helped save {{jo|Silver}}, a child {{p|Lugia}}, and its parent, from the evil machinations of Team Rocket.

Ash encountered Gary occasionally in Johto, and, while they were still rivals, Gary seemed to view Ash with slightly more respect than before. Ash's growth of character was evident throughout this story arc as he continued to think more and more about his Pokémon and less and less about himself. After earning eight Johto Gym Badges, Ash entered the Silver Conference with Gary. Finally, the two rivals battled in the tournament in a [[Full Battle]]. Although it was a close battle, Ash emerged victorious against his rival for the first time in his career as a Pokémon Trainer, marking one of the biggest turning points in said career. After the battle, Gary and Ash departed on good terms with each other, finally overcoming their boyhood animosity and recognizing each other as equals. Ash's journey through Kanto and Johto came to an end when he was forced to split up with Brock and Misty when the two of them received messages to return home.

===={{series|Advanced Generation}}====
After hearing about a distant region called [[Hoenn]] from {{jo|Harrison}}, the opponent he lost to in the Silver Conference, Ash decided to journey there and take only Pikachu with him this time. In Hoenn, Ash met a girl named {{an|May}} and her brother, [[Max]], who he later learned were [[Norman]]'s (the [[Petalburg City Gym]] Leader) children, and both of whom decided to join Ash on his travels. Shortly after the three companions left [[Petalburg City]], {{an|Brock}} rejoined the group when he saved them from a flock of angry {{p|Taillow}} and their {{AP|leader|Taillow}}. From that point onward, Ash journeyed through Hoenn with one old friend and two new friends, collecting Gym Badges in much the same fashion as before. Once May set her sights on becoming a [[Top Coordinator]], Ash supported her whenever he could while maintaining his focus on winning Badges. During these journeys, Ash and his friends ended up being entwined in the plots of the region's two rivaling [[villainous teams]], [[Team Aqua]] and [[Team Magma]], with Pikachu actually getting possessed by {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Groudon (AG)|Groudon}} in the summit of their conflict. Thanks to {{TRT}}'s (unintentional) help, they helped save the entire Hoenn region.

While Ash had no major recurring rival in Hoenn, he did encounter certain Trainers multiple times and formed friendly rivalries with them. One such friend was [[Morrison]], who was very similar to and just as competitive as Ash and was first introduced close to the end of the group's travels in Hoenn. Just like the Indigo Plateau and Silver Conferences, Ash did not win the [[Ever Grande Conference]], but he came very close before losing to {{ho|Tyson}}, who went on to win the tournament. After parting ways with May, Max, and Brock, Ash returned to Pallet Town. As he passed through [[Viridian City]] on his way back home, he met [[Scott]] and [[Agatha]] and learned about the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} in Kanto. He decided to take on the Battle Frontier and was surprised but happy to learn that Brock, May, and Max would join him on this adventure as well. Eventually, Ash conquered the seven [[Frontier Brain]]s and was offered the opportunity to become a Frontier Brain himself, but declined in favor of continuing his Pokémon journey.

===={{series|Diamond & Pearl}}====
[[File:Ash arriving in Sinnoh.png|thumb|220px|Ash arriving in Sinnoh]]
Following Ash's victory over the Battle Frontier, May set her sights on [[Pokémon Contest]]s in the Johto region and traveled there while Max returned home to Petalburg City in Hoenn. After encountering and battling his old rival, Gary (who has now become a Pokémon researcher), and learning of a new region with new Pokémon, Ash decided to leave for the [[Sinnoh]] region to earn the Gym Badges available there. Like before, he took only Pikachu with him at first, but brought his {{AP|Aipom}} along when she snuck onto the ship Ash was leaving on. While Brock did not directly accompany Ash to Sinnoh, he did meet with him while there and travelled with him through Sinnoh like he had for Kanto, Johto, and Hoenn. This time, they were accompanied by another aspiring [[Pokémon Coordinator]] named {{an|Dawn}}. Ash enthusiastically supported Dawn in her endeavors to become a Top Coordinator. Unlike May, he watched all of Dawn's Contests without being distracted by the need to train. Just as he supported Dawn in her Contests, she supported him in his Gym battles. She would even go as far as dressing up as a cheerleader with her Pokémon sometimes and cheer for him.

While traveling through Sinnoh, Ash formed a heated rivalry with a Trainer named [[Paul]]. Throughout Ash's journey, Paul would constantly put him down and the two often argued over their nearly opposite training styles. While Paul was harsh, distant, and sometimes plain cruel to his Pokémon, Ash insisted that the best way to raise Pokémon was through patience, caring, and friendship. Their rivalry came to a head after they competed in a [[Multi Battle|Tag Battle]] [[Hearthome City Tag Battle Competition|Tournament]] together, when Paul released his {{AP|Chimchar}} after it failed to meet his expectations. Ash then decided to take in the Chimp Pokémon and promised to make it strong using his own philosophy. Although Ash always considered himself on par with him Paul often bested him in battles as his own Pokémon were very powerful (He only kept Pokémon that were naturally very strong). Ash's Pokémon, while strong in their own right, were not yet equals. This came to a devastating defeat at [[Lake Acuity]] for Ash, losing a Full Battle while only knocking out two of Paul's Pokémon. Ash recognised that he had to take Paul more seriously and cautiously in future.
[[File:Ash Wallace Cup.png|thumb|left|220px|Ash in the Wallace Cup]]
[[File:Hearthome Collection Ash.png|thumb|220px|Ash in the Hearthome Collection]]
While in Sinnoh, Ash competed in two Pokémon Contests, once in [[Jubilife City]] and a second time in the [[Wallace Cup]] upon [[Wallace]]'s recommendation. He also competed against several [[Pokémon Stylist]]s in the [[Hearthome Collection]] fashion show in ''[[DP086|Arriving in Style!]]'', where he ended up in third place, winning the Unique Award for his original performance.

As Ash and his friends journeyed through Sinnoh, they ended up becoming heavily involved with legends of Sinnoh, with Ash being personally chosen by {{DL|Lake guardians (anime)|Azelf}} of the [[lake guardians]]. Along with [[Cynthia]], [[Looker]] and Team Rocket, they faced off against Pokémon Hunter [[J]] as well as the evil [[Team Galactic]]. Thanks to their efforts, the Sinnoh region was spared from [[Cyrus]]'s insane scheme.

Ash eventually obtained all of the Sinnoh Gym Badges he needed to enter Sinnoh's [[Pokémon League Conference]]. During his battles in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]], he managed to advance to the Top 4. For the second time since meeting Paul (the first being in a [[PokéRinger]] tournament during which Ash's {{p|Staravia}} evolved into a {{AP|Staraptor}} and defeated Paul's {{TP|Paul|Honchkrow}}), Ash managed to defeat his bitter rival, using {{p|Infernape}} (who had evolved from the {{p|Chimchar}} Paul abandoned) to deal the finishing blow. This confirmed Ash's beliefs in how to raise Pokémon, showing that though he took his time and raised his Pokémon with care and friendship they achieved the same results as Paul's methods. This caused Paul to finally acknowledge Ash as a Trainer of some merit, thus ending their arguments. Ash later fought against {{si|Tobias}}, becoming the only known Trainer to defeat his {{p|Darkrai}}. Although Ash ultimately lost the battle, he was not overly upset as he was closer to his Pokémon than ever before. At the conclusion of the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, Ash, Dawn, and Brock split up and went their separate ways, with Brock confirming that he would not be joining Ash on his travels to Unova as he decided to pursue his new dream of being a Pokémon doctor.

===={{series|Best Wishes}}====
In the {{series|Best Wishes}}, Ash traveled with {{Delia}} and {{an|Professor Oak}} on a trip to the [[Unova]] region. After losing in a battle to [[Trip]] and seeing the power of the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Zekrom}}, Ash became interested in traveling Unova to meet new Pokémon, as well as new friends. In Unova, he brought along only his Pikachu as he did in Hoenn.

Soon after he started his journey, Ash met {{an|Iris}}, a wild girl who is (as he later learns) a possible successor of the [[Opelucid City Gym]] and wishes to be a {{t|Dragon}} Master, and {{an|Cilan}}, one of the [[Striaton Gym]] Leaders, who aspires to be the world's greatest [[Pokémon Connoisseur]]. After Ash earns their interest by telling Iris of his encounter with Zekrom, and battling Cilan for the Trio Badge, the three decide to travel together. During his time in Unova, along with his quest for the Badges, the three friends also competed in the local competitions [[Club Battle]], [[Clubsplosion]], and [[Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup]]. Despite battling quite well, Ash failed to win any of the tournaments and managed to be the runner-up of two of the three. Despite these mishaps, he was not upset to see his friends win the competitions instead of him.

As they journeyed, Ash and friends ended up again being caught up in Team Rocket's new plot, which was personally being supervised by Giovanni. This time, Team Rocket planned to take over the world using a {{an|Meloetta}} that Ash befriended to unleash the power of the {{an|Forces of Nature}}. Thanks to Cynthia and [[Ridley]], Ash and his friends managed to thwart Team Rocket's evil plot.

After managing to obtain eight Unova Gym Badges, Ash was allowed to participate in the [[Vertress Conference]] along with his current and some new rivals. In the preliminary round, Ash battled Trip one-on-one, defeating him for the first time and ending their rivalry. Ash also defeated his friend and rival, [[Stephan]], in the tournament. He then battled one of his newer rivals, {{un|Cameron}}, where he lost in ''[[BW108|A Unova League Evolution!]]'', ending in the Top 8 of the Vertress Conference.

After the Conference, the three friends decided to check out some ruins that [[Professor Juniper]]'s father, [[Cedric Juniper]] discovered, and on the way, they met with a strange young man named {{an|N}}. They soon became entwined in the plots of [[Ghetsis]], [[Colress]], and [[Team Plasma]] as they sought to take over the world using {{p|Reshiram}}'s power. Ash and his friends, along with Looker, the Team Rocket trio, Professor Cedric, as well as N, [[Anthea and Concordia]], managed to foil Plasma's evil scheme.

As their adventures started coming to a close, Ash and his friends decided to take the long way back to Kanto by sailing on a series of luxury liners through a chain of islands called the [[Decolore Islands]]. On the way, Ash met [[Alexa]], a Pokémon Journalist, from whom he learnt of the [[Kalos]] region. Soon after they reach Kanto, Ash split up with Iris and Cilan, who wished to go in separate directions to follow their own dreams.

===={{series|XY}}====
[[File:Baron Ash.png|thumb|220px|Ash as a Baron at the Battle Chateau]]
In the {{series|XY}}, Ash arrived at the Kalos region with Alexa, first visiting [[Lumiose City]], where he parted ways with the journalist and tried to challenge the [[Lumiose Gym]] at Prism Tower. He was forcibly ejected from the tower when the computerized security system, later revealed to be the [[Clembot]], found out that he didn't have any Kalos Badges. He was rescued by {{an|Clemont}} and {{an|Bonnie}}.

Ash brought an injured {{AP|Froakie}} to {{an|Professor Sycamore}}, who told Ash about an additional stage of Pokémon evolution he was researching called [[Mega Evolution]]. Assisted by Pikachu and Froakie, Ash calmed down an angry {{p|Garchomp}} belonging to Sycamore that was attacking Lumiose City. Ash saw a Mega Evolved Pokémon for the first time when a Mega {{p|Blaziken}} saved him and Pikachu from falling off of Prism Tower. Froakie then allowed itself to be captured by Ash, and Clemont and Bonnie started to travel with Ash.

Ash won his first Kalos Badge, the [[Bug Badge]], after defeating the {{ci|Santalune}} [[Santalune Gym|Gym]] Leader, [[Viola]]. The group was joined by Serena, who still remembered Ash rescuing her in her childhood and decided to start her own journey to reunite with him, although he initially did not remember the two of them meeting. Ash and Serena learn that Clemont was actually the Lumiose Gym Leader, who was exiled from his own Gym by his own invention. They help Clemont face Clembot, and after the issue was resolved, the two boys promised to battle after Ash fulfilled the original conditions set by Clembot (even if it was no longer necessary), to earn four Badges. With that, the group set off on their journey again. During their travels, they occasionally met the ninja boy [[Sanpei]], whose presence always led to a progress in Froakie's (and later {{p|Frogadier}}'s and {{p|Greninja}}'s) strength.

Ash briefly traveled with the {{gy|Shalour}} Gym Leader [[Korrina]] to discover more about Mega Evolution and [[Mega Stone]]s.

Ash and his friends later attended Professor Sycamore's [[Pokémon Summer Camp]], where they met the trio of {{an|Shauna}}, {{an|Tierno}}, and {{an|Trevor}}, with whom the group started a friendly rivalry with. In Ash's case, his rivalry would mainly be with Trevor and Tierno as Serena and Shauna pursued [[Pokémon Showcase]]s.

During their journey, Ash caught a lost and traumatized {{p|Goomy}}, which he raised into a {{p|Sliggoo}}, and later, a powerful {{AP|Goodra}}. After earning his fourth Gym Badge, Ash eventually faced Clemont in their promised Gym Battle, and won with Goodra's help, gaining his fifth Badge. Later, Ash and friends come across Goodra's [[Kalos Route 14|old home]], where they discovered it was taken over by a {{an|Florges}} and her companions. After saving Goodra's swamp from Team Rocket while simultaneously solving the issue concerning Florges, Ash left Goodra in the wetlands so it could act as the protector of its swamp and the Pokémon living in it. Sometime afterwards, when Ash reached [[Laverre City]] to challenge the [[Laverre Gym|Gym]], he made a new rival in [[Sawyer]], a novice trainer hailing from Hoenn. Along the way, Ash would also support Serena in her quest to become Kalos Queen, and gave her some helpful advice when she eventually lost, telling her that losing is simply another step towards victory.

Later in their journeys, Ash and friends reached [[Anistar City]] and, together with Professor Sycamore, they met the Gym Leader, [[Olympia]]. She revealed his Frogadier's past as a Froakie from before meeting Ash and a glimpse of Frogadier's, his friend's, Sycamore's, Team Rocket's, and his own fate, indicating that they would all play a vital role in Kalos's future. Ash challenged her to a [[Double Battle]], which he won using Frogadier and {{AP|Talonflame}}.

Shortly after, the group came across a mysterious Pokémon, dubbed [[Squishy]] by Bonnie, who was being pursued relentlessly by the [[Villainous teams|villainous organization]], [[Team Flare]], prompting the group to put it under their own protective custody. Some time afterwards, Ash and his friends got involved in a conflict in Sanpei's [[Ninja Village|home town]], which led to Frogadier evolving into Greninja, as well as achieving [[Bond Phenomenon]] for the first time. During another confrontation with Team Flare in [[Terminus Cave]], Ash learned Bond Phenomenon came at a cost, as he was able to share Greninja's senses, but also share its pain.

Later on, Ash met up with [[Alain]], who became intrigued by Greninja's Bond Phenomenon and requested to battle Ash. Ash put up a decent fight, but eventually lost. After his loss against Alain, Ash and Greninja began training to perfect Greninja's new form. Ash and Greninja later had a rematch with Alain and a battle against Diantha, during the latter Greninja even managed to reach its final Ash-Greninja form. Despite their training, the two were unsuccessful to master the transformation as Ash passed out during both battles from exhaustion from using the form.

After losing a rematch with Sawyer, in which Greninja even failed to transform, Ash began feeling doubtful of his ability to master the transformation. His confidence was shaken further after brutally losing to [[Wulfric]], the [[Snowbelle Gym]] Leader. After seeing how badly Greninja got hurt during their battle and blaming himself for the loss, a depressed Ash left into the [[Kalos Route 20|Winding Woods]] by himself. After an argument with Serena, Ash was able to get back to his old self. He later met up with Greninja, and while trying to save a wild {{p|Spewpa}}, the two were able to perfect Bond Phenomenon. With Greninja's Ash-Greninja form perfected, Ash was able to defeat Wulfric in a rematch, earning him his final Kalos Gym Badge and qualifying him for participation in the [[Lumiose Conference]].

After returning to Lumiose City, Ash entered the Lumiose Conference. Following several notable victories, Ash had Goodra rejoin his team for his semi-final battle against Sawyer. After a narrow victory in, Ash managed to defeat Sawyer and reach the finals of the Conference, marking his first appearance in the finals of a Pokémon League; where he would face Alain. On the night before the final battle, he and his friends learned more about the Ash-Greninja transformation. In the finals of the Lumiose Conference, Ash and Alain started a back and forth battle that eventually came down to Alain's Mega Charizard X against Ash's Greninja in its Ash-Greninja form. After a fierce battle, Greninja was defeated, causing Ash to end up as the Runner-Up of the Lumiose Conference. Ash showed great sincerity and principle following the battle, shaking Alain's hand regardless of the result.

[[File:Ash and Pokémon captured.png|thumb|left|250px|Ash and his Pokémon captured by Team Flare]]
During the closing ceremony of the conference, Team Flare began their final operation, using the power of the blue {{p|Zygarde}} {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Zygarde|Core}} [[Z2]] to cause massive roots to destroy parts of Lumiose City. Ash and his Pokémon were ultimately abducted by Team Flare and were taken captive at the top of Prism Tower, as [[Lysandre]] intended to use Ash and Greninja's Bond Phenomenon for his plans by using Team Flare's Mega Evolution energy ray to control them. After talking some sense into Alain, Ash resisted the machine's influence and broke free using Bond Phenomenon. Ash and Alain soon engaged in a battle against Lysandre, and ultimately managed to defeat him. When Ash later heard about the [[Giant Rock]], he met up with the rest to combat it. Thanks to everyone's combined effort, [[Chespie]] was saved from the Giant Rock. Squishy and Z2 ultimately destroyed the creature, before the two Zygarde left.

Following the crisis, Ash helped Alain and Serena resolve their issues and bade farewell to his rivals. Later, after dropping Goodra off at the wetlands again, the group came across [[Xerosic]], one of Team Flare's Scientists. Ash, his Greninja, and his friends and the gang were ultimately able to foil Xerosic's plans and hand him over to Officer Jenny. The group soon reunited with Squishy and Z2, who requested Greninja's help to obliterate remaining negative energy left by Team Flare's crisis. Knowing this was for the sake of Kalos, Ash bade farewell to Greninja, before Greninja left with the two Zygarde. After releasing Greninja, Ash and the gang headed back to Lumiose City to say their final goodbyes. After bidding farewell to Serena, who headed for Hoenn, Ash separated from Clemont and Bonnie as well, and returned to Pallet Town.

===={{series|Sun & Moon}}====
Ash traveled with Delia to the [[Alola]] region after [[Mimey]] won the trip via lottery. It was shown that Ash gave his Kalos Pokémon to [[Professor Oak]], who gave him and his mother a Pokémon Egg to deliver to his cousin [[Samson Oak|Samson]]. While on [[Melemele Island]], Ash stumbled upon the [[Pokémon School]], where he met {{an|Lana}}, {{an|Lillie}}, {{an|Mallow}}, {{an|Kiawe}}, {{an|Sophocles}}, Samson, and {{an|Professor Kukui}} and learned about [[Z-Ring]]s and [[Z-Move]]s. Later on, he met {{DL|Guardian deities (anime)|Tapu Koko}}, the [[Guardian deities|guardian]] of Melemele Island, who gave Ash a Z-Ring and an [[Electrium Z]]. With these discoveries, Ash decided to remain in Alola to study at the school and learn more about Z-Moves, living with Professor Kukui.

Later, Tapu Koko challenged Ash and Pikachu to a battle. Ash's Electrium Z broke after Ash and Pikachu used the Z-Move {{m|Gigavolt Havoc}} on Tapu Koko. Ash then decided to take on the [[island challenge]] to obtain new [[Z-Crystal]]s and prove his worth.

Ash caught several Pokémon on Melemele Island, such as his {{AP|Rowlet}}, {{AP|Rockruff}}, and {{AP|Litten}}. Ash also got a [[Normalium Z]] after his fight with {{pkmn2|Totem}} {{p|Gumshoos}} on Melemele Island. Tapu Koko gave him a new Electrium Z after Ash won his grand trial battle with Melemele [[Island Kahuna]] [[Hala]]. In addition, Ash struck up a friendly rivalry with Lillie's brother {{an|Gladion}}. He then gained a [[Grassium Z]] and [[Rockium Z]] during his trial and grand trial on [[Akala Island]]. He also briefly reunited with Brock, Misty, and some of his Pokémon during a field trip to Kanto for an extracurricular activity.

One day, Ash was entrusted to take care of a {{p|Cosmog}} by {{p|Solgaleo}} and {{p|Lunala}}, which he saw in a dream. The Cosmog, nicknamed {{DL|Light trio (anime)|Solgaleo|Nebby}} by Lillie, took a liking to Ash and frequently caused trouble with its ability to {{m|teleport}} people around. In ''[[SM050|Faba's Revenge!]]'', {{an|Faba}} kidnapped Nebby while Ash's attention was elsewhere. When Ash and Lillie learned about this, they enlisted Gladion and {{an|Lusamine}} in helping them rescue it. When the four found Faba, they also found that he successfully forced Nebby to summon a {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Nihilego}} from an Ultra Wormhole. After Nihilego kidnapped Lusamine and retreated back into the Ultra Wormhole, Ash discovered that the incident caused Nebby to evolve into a {{p|Cosmoem}}.
[[File:Ash and Z-Power Ring.png|thumb|left|250px|Ash and his Z-Power Ring]]
Ash, his classmates, and Gladion then watched as the {{an|guardian deities}} helped Nebby evolve into the Legendary Pokémon Solgaleo and upgrade Ash's Z-Ring into a [[Z-Power Ring]]. With a [[Solganium Z]] he received from Nebby, Ash activated Solgaleo's Z-Move, {{m|Searing Sunraze Smash}}, and had Nebby opened up an Ultra Wormhole, allowing everyone to traverse through Ultra Space on Nebby's back. There, after Ash's Electrium Z temporarily transformed into a [[Pikashunium Z]], Ash and Pikachu used it to launch a {{m|10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt}}. The attack defeated Nihilego, weakening it long enough for Lillie and Gladion to pull their mother free from its hold. The Pikashunium Z then reverted to an Electrium Z. With their mission finished, Lusamine was taken back through the Ultra Wormhole to the Altar of the Sunne.
[[File:Ash Ultra Guardian outfit.png|thumb|250px|Ash in his Ultra Guardian uniform]]
During Kukui's and burnet's wedding reception in the aftermath of the incident, Ash and his friends were invited to join an {{an|Ultra Beasts|Ultra Beast}} response task force, known as the [[Ultra Guardians]], which they all agreed to. On their first mission, Ash and his classmates were assigned to capture a {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Buzzwole}} that had appeared through an Ultra Wormhole. The Ultra Guardians encountered it at [[Mahalo Trail]], where Ash eventually realized it preferred flexing to battling. As a result, Ash and Kiawe distracted it long enough for the former to throw a [[Beast Ball]] at it, successfully capturing it. Later, Buzzwole was brought to [[Melemele Meadow]], where [[Professor Burnet]] temporarily opened a new wormhole, allowing Buzzwole to return back home.

Later, Ash encountered a {{AP|Poipole}} who seemed strangely attached to Pikachu. After a while, Poipole was confirmed to be an Ultra Beast. Ash was permitted to capture it, though he failed several times as Poipole thought the catching process was a game. After Ash helped it understand what was really happening, Poipole allowed itself to be captured, and was allowed to stay with the group until they could find its Ultra Wormhole and send it back.

Ash attempted to participate in the [[Ula'ula Island]] challenge, but he was rejected by [[Nanu]] and lost in an impromptu "pre-Trial". Afterwards, Ash decided to stay on the island and train under {{DL|Guardian deities (anime)|Tapu Bulu}}. This allowed him to formally participate in his island challenge, which turned out to be a battle against [[Jessie's Mimikyu]], who recently gained a [[Mimikium Z]]. Ash barely won thanks to Pikachu learning {{m|Electroweb}}, as well as being able to once again use 10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt. Finally, Ash participated in the grand trial, where he faced off against Nanu in a 3-on-1 battle in Nanu's favor and won, earning himself a [[Lycanium Z]].

Ash led the Ultra Guardians investigation into mysterious dark clouds that appeared over the Alola region, causing all of the adults in Alola to lose their energy and motivation. The cause was revealed to be a {{DL|Light trio (anime)|Necrozma}} pursuing a {{DL|Light trio (anime)|Necrozma}}, which resulted in a massive battle against Necrozma. During this time, Nebby joined the fight; Necrozma possessed Lunala and then Nebby to become {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|Dawn Wings and Dusk Mane Necrozma}}, respectively; and the Ultra Guardians pursued Necrozma into [[Poipole's world]]. There, they learned about how Necrozma needed to regain its true form in order to release Nebby. After Ash and Gladion acquired Z-Crystals for Nebby and Lunala, the Ultra Guardians, with the help of their Pokémon, Lunala, Poipole's friends, and everyone else in Alola, shared their Z-Power with Necrozma, causing it to release Nebby. Afterwards, Ash and Nebby used {{m|Searing Sunraze Smash}}, while Gladion and Lunala used {{m|Menacing Moonraze Maelstrom}} on Necrozma. The combined Z-Moves fully restored Necrozma's light, giving it the strength to become its true form, Ultra Necrozma. Afterwards, the Ultra Guardians, Nebby, and Lunala traveled back to Alola through the Ultra Wormhole, while Ash said farewell to Poipole, who chose to stay behind in its world.

Later, Ash and his classmates arrived on Poni Island for their individual research projects for school. Ash's project was to have a grand trial battle. In ''[[SM109|A Grand Debut!]]'', Ash battled the newly-appointed Island Kahuna [[Hapu]] in a one-on-one battle and won. Letting Pikachu choose their reward for the completion, Ash received a [[Steelium Z]].

Following this victory, Ash entered the first-ever [[Manalo Conference]], along with his classmates. He eventually made it to the semifinals, where he faced off against the [[Team Skull]] Boss [[Guzma]]. After a tough match, Ash was able to defeat him and advance to the finals, where he was set to face Gladion. On the night before the final battle, Ash's {{p|Meltan}} fused with {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Melmetal|its fellow Meltan}}, evolving into {{AP|Melmetal}}, which Ash ended up using as his first Pokémon in the finals. The match eventually resulted in a battle between the two Trainers' {{p|Lycanroc}}, with [[Ash's Lycanroc]] eventually emerging victorious, thus earning Ash the title of Alola League {{pkmn|Champion}}.

===Character===
[[File:Younger Ash XY.png|thumb|250px|Young Ash]]
Ash is an only child who lived with his mother, {{Delia}}, until he left for his [[Pokémon journey]] at the age of ten. His main goal in life, as described in [[EP001|the first episode]], is to be the world's greatest [[Pokémon Master]]. One particular characteristic about Ash that has not changed over the course of the series, aside from his determination and his passion for raising and training Pokémon, is that he is incredibly selfless. He will often go to extraordinary lengths to earn a Pokémon's trust and respect, and to better understand a Pokémon that he sees as troubled. He is also very fair-minded and trusting, a true testament to his good-natured character.

Ash is shown to have a strong sense of justice, especially when it comes to Pokémon. If a Pokémon is in trouble, he will make every effort to help them, even if he has no prior connection to them. If they are the cause of trouble, he will stop them, and then try to understand them, with almost all such occasions being a case of the Pokémon, or their Trainers or friends, having a problem which can't be resolved normally. In those cases, he will selflessly volunteer to help them. Should the problem be caused by [[human]]s, such as {{TRT}}, {{pkmn|poacher|Pokémon thieves, hunters, or poachers}}, Ash will resolve to do anything in his power to stop them.

Despite this, and previous dealings with [[Villainous teams|evil organizations]], Ash has retained a remarkably optimistic and naive outlook, a trait {{ashfr|his companions}} seem to share. He is quick to praise and has an unshakable trust in both his Pokémon and his friends. Also, Ash is determined to see the best in everybody unless he has a very good reason not to. An example would be Team Rocket's frequent 'sudden appearances' that coincide with their needs at that time, and Ash never questioning it until it is too late. Another example would be how he always praises {{an|Clemont}} for [[Clemontic Gear|his inventions]], no matter their high failure rate, and the near inevitable explosion, or {{an|Cilan}} for his various hobbies. Furthermore, even though almost all of his friends have large dreams, Ash fully supports them and has never doubted their ability to accomplish them, possibly due to his own highly ambitious goal. He also encourages Pokémon to do the best they can, even if they aren't his own, and has even helped train [[wild Pokémon]].

In the [[original series]], though Ash actively took part in {{pkmn|battle}}s, he was rarely seen independently {{pkmn|training}} his Pokémon. However, since the {{series|Advanced Generation}}, Ash is shown training more noticeably, having practice battles with his friends and focusing on [[move]]s, techniques, and strategies with his Pokémon. A noticeable trait of Ash's is his willingness to learn from both his victories and defeats. For example, after winning in a [[Gym]] battle against [[Winona]] in ''[[AG085|Sky High Gym Battle!]]'' and witnessing her Pokémon's powerful {{m|Aerial Ace}}, Ash was motivated to have his {{AP|Swellow}} learn it. Even his losses can inspire him, such as when he lost to [[Clayton]] in ''[[DP159|Short and To the Punch!]]'' and decided to teach his {{AP|Buizel}} {{m|Ice Punch|one of the moves}} Clayton's {{p|Mr. Mime}} had used during their battle. He believes nothing he and his Pokémon do on their journey is a waste of time.

In the beginning, Ash had a bit of an inferiority complex, as well as some form of personal pride, most likely stemming from his [[rival]]ry with {{Gary}}. As a result, he had some bad habits, such as shamelessly boasting of his own skill if he were ever on a winning streak, and becoming angered easily if he were personally insulted, as seen in ''[[EP008|The Path to the Pokémon League]]''. Ash used to complain about things that were perfectly legal, like [[Giselle]]'s {{p|Cubone}} using a bone in ''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]'', or [[Blaine]]'s use of the lava in ''[[EP059|Volcanic Panic]]''. He even locked himself up in his room and sulked after losing to [[Ritchie]], although this anger was not entirely unfounded as the loss came as a result of both his Charizard's disobedience and Team Rocket wearing out his other Pokémon before the match began. He overcame his disappointment after seeing and listening to how Ritchie took his loss as a way to better himself as a Trainer in ''[[EP080|Friends to the End]]''. Fortunately, during his journey, Ash has gotten over this particular character trait and is now more accepting of criticism to his own skill, though he still gets upset if his Pokémon are insulted or degraded.

[[File:DP131.png|thumb|left|250px|Ash and Paul]]
Perhaps one of Ash's greatest rivalries was against [[Paul]] during his time in the [[Sinnoh]] region. On contrary of Ash, who strongly believed in the [[Friendship|bond between Trainer and Pokémon]], Paul's only concern was with a Pokémon's strength, believing that bonding only caused them to become spoiled and unmotivated. Due to this, aside from winning the [[Sinnoh League]], Ash's biggest goal during his Sinnoh travels was to ultimately change Paul's mindset and have the latter finally acknowledge him as a Trainer worth of his attention. After a long and exhausting journey, he finally managed to accomplish this after defeating Paul at the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]], after which Paul finally recognized Ash as his rival and equal.

In most episodes of the anime, especially those during the {{DL|List of original series episodes|Johto League arc}}, 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 friends, particularly the maternal skills of {{an|Brock}}. The honor of "best friend" 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 {{an|Misty}} and Brock in ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]'' as well as {{an|May}} and [[Max]] in ''[[AG178|Battling the Enemy Within]]''.

Ash has changed a great deal over the course of the series, particularly in regards to his skill at [[Pokémon training]], but his earnestness, rashness, and determination have remained. Never straying from his goal, he has remained loyal to his friends, family, and 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. For example, when he received a banner filled with prints from his Pokémon in ''[[AG187|The Unbeatable Lightness of Seeing!]]'', he knew which Pokémon placed specific prints, showing his close bond with them. He also learns 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. In another instance, his {{AP|Charizard}} defeated [[Gary's Blastoise]] by causing the field to overheat before mounting a close-quarters attack while Blastoise was blinded by the steam. He also prefers to train a Pokémon to be the best it can without forcing it to [[Evolution|evolve]], as evidenced by his treatment of {{AP|Gligar}} in ''[[DP085|Fighting Fear With Fear!]]''. He is happy when his Pokémon evolve but lets them choose whether or not they want to evolve instead of forcing them.

[[File:Ash catches a Pokémon SM.png|thumb|250px|Ash after catching a Pokémon]]
Physically, Ash is in very good shape, especially for someone 10 years of age. He has constantly been shown to have a lot of stamina, walking miles upon miles through all kinds of environments, while journeying between towns on his journey. He also has huge endurance, as seen when he took powerful attacks from various Pokémon head on and then recovering quite quickly. Furthermore, Ash has demonstrated himself to be a bit acrobatic, occasionally being able to keep up with {{an|Iris}}, who virtually grew up swinging and jumping through treetops. Ash has occasionally displayed great reflexes, being able to dodge attacks or catch falling objects out of the blue, and even being able to save himself, or others, in the last second during perilous situations. What's more, Ash has exhibited tremendous will power, as seen when he took attacks for long periods of time and keeps advancing, which also drives his "never give up" attitude when it comes to Pokémon battles. He is also strong, being capable of picking up heavy Pokémon such as Larvitar and Hippopotas.

Ash is also quite dense when it comes to matters of the opposite sex, more specifically in the field of [[Shipping|romance]]. Throughout the series, Ash has only displayed open interest in a [[Giselle|female]] only [[EP009|once]], and nothing came out of it. Though some girls in the series have actually shown obvious (and subtle) affection towards him, Ash meets it with nearly unfailing obtuseness, which some characters have also noticed. Even when it involves other people's romance, Ash is usually oblivious until someone points it out to him. Also, on a few occasions when it came to a matter of Pokémon love, with a male who's experiencing difficulty in gaining the attention of a female, while his friends will often mainly give advice in improving the male's looks or charm, Ash's advice is simply to be stronger. Despite this, however, it is shown on several occasions that Ash does seem to understand the concept of marriage, most notably in ''[[SM055|The Professors' New Adventure]]'', when he got excited by the news of {{an|Professor Kukui}} and [[Professor Burnet]]'s engagement, and subsequently worked with his classmates to organize a big wedding ceremony for them.

Early on, Ash originally trained not to further himself but instead to catch more Pokémon than Gary, a feat that he never accomplished. Ash later slowed his pace, which allowed him to focus on the individual traits of each Pokémon. At the [[Silver Conference]], with great humility and maturity, Ash finally won a battle against his old rival, signifying a great milestone in his history as a Trainer. His maturity has also increased in his dealings with Pokémon. This was shown when {{AP|a Mankey|Primeape}} 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 an {{AP|Aipom}} did the same in ''[[AG179|Slaking Kong]]'', he stated merely that he would feel strange without a hat. When Aipom stole his hat again on several future occasions, however, while she was under his ownership, he chased after her in the same manner as before, most likely out of exasperation that she still hadn't learned her lesson.

Ash has traversed much of the [[Pokémon world]] and has thus far participated in various [[Pokémon League Conference]]s, but he is still learning new things about Pokémon all the time. He has also gained a close connection with many {{pkmn2|Legendary}} and [[Mythical Pokémon]], such as the ones who played major roles in the {{pkmn|movies}}. In the English dub [[M02|second movie]], he was revealed to be "The Chosen One" - the one who would bring balance back to the world when it was disrupted.
[[File:Ash Aura.png|thumb|left|250px|Ash using Aura inside the [[Tree of Beginning]]]]
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. Therefore, he made a connection with Sir Aaron's {{OBP|Lucario|M08}}. 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|Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! Part 1]]'' and ''[[DP072|Part 2]]'', Ash uses Aura again to locate a lost {{p|Riolu}} and read Riolu's mind as well. This time, however, he merely senses the Aura, rather than manipulating it. Ash also has the unique ability to use [[Bond Phenomenon]].

Though his passion remains in battling, Ash is always eager to try new things, especially if he can do them together with {{cat|Ash's Pokémon|his Pokémon}}, having participated in other events like [[Pokémon Contest]]s, [[PokéRinger]] tournaments, and even a [[Hearthome Collection|fashion show]] and a {{pkmn|Dress-Up Contest|cosplay convention}} as well as various other {{cat|Pokémon competitions}}. He has [[Contest Pass]]es for [[Sinnoh]] and [[Hoenn]]. Ash carries with him half of a broken {{i|Poké Ball}}, while [[Gary Oak]] has the other half, as a symbol of their ongoing, but now friendly, rivalry; [[Misty's special lure]], which she sent to him as a gift; and half of the {{DL|Ribbon|Terracotta Medal}} he received after his [[Contest Battle]] with May in the unofficial {{to|Terracotta}} Contest ended in a tie.

His father has not been introduced. The anime suggests that his father was once a Pokémon Trainer who began his journey in Pallet Town, and that he is still living. In the original, he is also confirmed to have a grandfather, whose son followed his footsteps. An interview with the series' storyboarder [[Masamitsu Hidaka]] confirmed Ash's father is a Trainer on his own journey. According to Hidaka, Ash's father may or may not be introduced in the series, depending on its necessity to further Ash's maturity and development as a Trainer. On the other hand, according to [[Pocket Monsters: The Animation|Takeshi Shudō's novelization]], Ash's father left home to go on a journey right after Ash was born, and never returned since. As he never registered his name in the Pokémon Trainer's list, his whereabouts are unknown.

===Pokémon===

[[File:Ash Party SM.png|thumb|left|280px|Ash's [[Alola]] party prior to [[SM141]]]]
[[File:Ash with his Pokémon.png|thumb|280px|Ash with all his Pokémon as of ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]'' (excluding {{AP|Squirtle}} and {{AP|Primeape}}) at Professor Oak's lab]]
[[File:Ash Kalos Team.png|thumb|280px|Ash with all his [[Kalos]] Pokémon]]
As a Trainer, Ash has {{pkmn2|caught}} and [[Friendship|befriended]] a sizable number of Pokémon over the course of the anime. His philosophy on {{pkmn|training}} is that Pokémon are individuals and that a combination of trust, friendship, and hard work are needed to overcome adversity. In fact, several of Ash's Pokémon were caught because they allowed him to, after he befriended them. He seems to {{pkmn|battle}} best with Pokémon that are similar to Pikachu: ones that are [[Appendix:Metagame terminology#Sweeper|speedy and maneuverable, yet able to perform high-powered attacks]]; however, he is willing to work with any Pokémon that comes into his care.

Ash's battle style is generally spontaneous and fairly unorthodox, and his Pokémon often reflect these traits. He has been shown to use unusual strategies. For instance, during the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, he incorporated a twisting-spinning type maneuver in his Pokémon's offensive and defensive techniques, which eventually lead to him creating the original technique, [[Counter Shield]]. Also, sometimes he will use someone else's battle strategies as shown with [[Paul]] and {{an|Tierno}}, though when using the latter's, Ash stated that his own unique strategy is the one he can truly count on, instead of simply mimicking others.

Ash is very attached to his Pokémon, and prefers to battle and train with them personally. Furthermore, he cares about their opinion, even giving them the option of whether they should [[Evolution|evolve]] or not. As such, the majority of his Pokémon also share Ash's stubborn and reckless nature, persistently attempting to rise and continue the battle, even after receiving great amount of damage and being at the end of their rope. However, if it is by their own wish, or if he believes it is best for them, Ash will (if sometimes reluctantly) [[trade]] or [[Released Pokémon|release]] them, and in some cases, leave them with more experienced individuals so that they could get stronger.

Though Ash normally catches five or more Pokémon per [[region]] (not including when he traveled through the [[Orange Archipelago]] and challenged the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} in his second tour of [[Kanto]]), he rarely ever switches the Pokémon in his current [[party]] with those in [[Pokémon Storage System|storage]] at {{an|Professor Oak}}'s [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|Laboratory]]. He usually only does so when battling against powerful opponents (such as Trainers in the [[Pokémon League Conference]]s, and [[Frontier Brain]]s), or when attending certain events that requires a specific Pokémon (like {{AP|Tauros}} at the [[Pokémon Swap Meet]] or {{AP|Snorlax}} at the [[Sumo Conference]]). However, during the {{series|Best Wishes}}, Ash actively cycled through the nine Pokémon he managed to catch in [[Unova]], although these Pokémon, when not in his party, were instead kept in storage at [[Professor Juniper]]'s lab in [[Nuvema Town]]. Near the end of his journey in Unova, Professor Juniper transferred all of Ash's Pokémon to Professor Oak's lab. Ash did not use this system of training in the [[XY series|following series]].

Ash currently has ownership of 71 Pokémon, including all 30 of his Tauros. Including pre-evolutions, traded, released, and [[Gift Pokémon|given away]] Pokémon (and not including the additional Tauros), in total, Ash has currently officially owned a total of 88 different Pokémon species.

==Trivia==
[[File:Ash hat OS concept art.jpg|thumb|160px|Concept art of original series Ash's hat]]
* Ash's hat in the [[original series]] was actually similar to {{ga|Red}}'s hat in his original design from {{game|Red and Green|s}} before undergoing several changes until the final design.
* Ash has never officially {{pkmn2|caught}} a Pokémon of the {{t|Psychic}}, {{t|Ghost}}, or {{t|Fairy}} types; a [[regional variant]]; a female-only; or a [[Legendary Pokémon]]; nor has he [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] any of his Pokémon.
* Ash has captured at least one of the [[starter Pokémon]] in every [[region]].
* Ash's birthday in the main series of the anime, according to [[Takeshi Shudo]]'s anime novelizations, is 10 years, 10 months, and 10 days ''exactly'' prior to the day he began his Pokémon journey. In [[M20]], Ash's birthdate is instead the same day he began his journey.
** On a related note, Ash is still considered 10 years old in promotional materials as well as the [[BW001|first episode]] of ''Best Wishes'' despite ''[[BW141|Best Wishes Until We Meet Again!]]'' strongly implying that at least a full year had passed since his time in Johto.
* When [[Veronica Taylor]] was interviewed in the documentary "Adventures in Voice Acting", she stated that during her audition for the role of Ash, he was known as Casey at the time. This name would later be given to a {{an|Casey|recurring character from Johto}}.
[[File:Ash Dewgong Drawing.png|thumb|200px|Ash's drawing of a Dewgong]]
* Ash can {{wp|drawing|draw}}, as shown in ''[[DP089|Up Close and Personable!]]'' when he drew a {{p|Dewgong}}. However, this drawing was insulted by [[Angie]].
* Ash has been shown to be a good climber, as mentioned in ''[[M04|Celebi: The Voice of the Forest]]'' (when {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} say "He climbs like a {{p|Mankey}}!") and ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'' (when Brock calls him a "human {{p|Aipom}}"). Ash's climbing ability has also been shown in several episodes throughout the series, such as ''[[BW002|Enter Iris and Axew!]]'', when he climbs up a tree to try to save {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Iris|Axew}}, and in ''[[XY025|Climbing the Walls!]]'', in which he climbed up the rock-climbing wall up to [[Grant]] to face him and win the {{badge|Cliff}}.
* Ash has lost a match against every {{type|Normal}} [[Gym Leader]] he has faced: [[Whitney]] in ''[[EP158|A Goldenrod Opportunity]]'', [[Norman]] in ''[[AG003|There's no Place Like Hoenn]]'', [[Lenora]] in ''[[BW015|The Battle According to Lenora]]'', and [[Cheren]] in ''[[BW111|There's a New Gym Leader in Town!]]''.
* Ash has lost at least one official Gym battle in every region. He lost to {{an|Brock}}, [[Lt. Surge]], [[Sabrina]], and [[Blaine]] in Kanto, [[Whitney]] in Johto, [[Brawly]] in Hoenn, [[Roark]] in Sinnoh, [[Lenora]] in Unova, and [[Viola]] and [[Wulfric]] in Kalos. He also lost to [[Cress]] in Unova, but he didn't need a rematch since he defeated both {{an|Cilan}} and [[Chili]].
** Ash also lost battles with [[Frontier Brain]]s during the [[S09|Battle Frontier arc]] of the anime, losing once to {{FB|Salon Maiden|Anabel}} and twice to {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}}.
** Ash also lost trials to [[Island Kahuna]]s in the {{series|Sun and Moon}} of the anime, losing once to [[Nanu]].
* Ever since facing [[Wattson]] in ''[[AG040|Watt's with Wattson?]]'', Ash has not won a Gym [[Badge]] in the same episode in which he meets the [[Gym Leader]].
* Ash shares at least one Pokémon of the same evolutionary family with one of his rivals in each series.

Azure42: /* Triviaworthy? */

== Finale ==

Is this confirmed to be the finale? What about the Stunfisk episode (10/11) we found out about from broadcast data? Until that is confirmed to be a special episode, we shouldn't mark this as the finale... [[User:Kidburla|Kidburla]] ([[User talk:Kidburla|talk]]) 14:22, 27 October 2016 (UTC)
:Multiple summaries have called this the finale. Plus the ending shot pretty much implies this anyway. [[User:Playerking95|Playerking95]] ([[User talk:Playerking95|talk]]) 15:12, 27 October 2016 (UTC)

== Coincidences with Latias? ==

Curiously the airplane was called Latias, same as one of the protagonist of the movie where Ash got a questionable kiss if from Bianca or Latias. Would It be a coincidence or was intended to make everyone remember that kiss?[[User:Nesu|Nesu]] ([[User talk:Nesu|talk]]) 14:25, 28 October 2016

== The kissing scene ==

Shigeru Miyamoto confirmed that it was kiss, so why not write about it? [[User:Ekiadox|Ekiadox]] ([[User talk:Ekiadox|talk]]) 22:00, 2 November 2016
:First things first: Source? [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 22:36, 2 November 2016 (UTC)

:::If that's the case, that Twitter account isn't even Miyamoto's...it's a parody account. --[[User:Carmenstar97|Carmen★]] ''[[User talk:Carmenstar97|(Talk |]] [[Special:Contributions/Carmenstar97|contribs)]]'' 03:15, 3 November 2016 (UTC)
::::Well, if that's really not his actual account then I got another proof. Look at Clemon, Bonnie and Pikachu's faces https://67.media.tumblr.com/8546f9be6ddb43b89ae2b697e28fd363/tumblr_ofq7vu4aoK1vr4jioo7_540.gif That reactions and the leg moving up when close to Ash are enough to prove this statement IMO. {{unsigned|Ekiadox}}
:::::That is not ''proof''. The scene was left up to the imagination, and everyone is free to make their own interpretations, but on Bulbapedia, we're not stating that they kissed if a kiss wasn't shown. The way the plot is currently worded is sufficient. --[[User:Carmenstar97|Carmen★]] ''[[User talk:Carmenstar97|(Talk |]] [[Special:Contributions/Carmenstar97|contribs)]]'' 22:12, 3 November 2016 (UTC)

:::::::Proof would be quality scans and/or reliable translations of them (much preferably ''with'' scans for verifiability). A random Youtuber doesn't necessarily know Japanese; and that one linked to a Twitter user as the "source". Even supposing it's all "correct", I think a trivia point would be most appropriate to note what the creators intended; I think the plot section should remain focused on what's in the actual episode. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 00:49, 4 January 2017 (UTC)
::::::::I mean, I guess so that for the synopsis of the plot we should stick to what was shown. Just noting that it was confirmed in the interview by the producer and that the interview was translated reliably. In this source: https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemon/comments/5ll43h/serena_confirmed_to_have_kissed_ash_in_xyz_47/ (the interview translation) the creators seem to go either way with the producer saying that it should have looked like they did and Yajima saying it was supposed to be ambiguous.

:It's not worth arguing over. The simple answer is just use an exact copy, rather than invite arguments over every thing any person can think up that they think should be just a bit different. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 22:48, 18 January 2017 (UTC)

== Triviaworthy? ==

Quite a while ago, I discovered (and rediscovered today) this interesting piece of trivia from TV Tropes: 
"The flight that Serena is taking is called H71 Latias [who missed Ash in Pokémon Heroes]. H71 in the ORAS Pokédex is Mawile and its Japanese name Kucheet (クチート) is a corruption of 口と, meaning "with the mouth." As a result, it can be read as "Latias, but with the mouth", suggesting that Serena kissed Ash directly on the lips." 
Can this be considered worthy of being added to this episode's trivia section? --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 09:52, 11 October 2019 (UTC)
: There's a lot of reaching involved with that, given that we could also say 'one may also notice that the flowers outside of Ash's House are Baby's Breath, which are Kasumi in Japanese, the Japanese name for Misty - suggesting that Ash went home to Misty' - something that's also not in trivia. It's all interpretation and thus not trivia, despite what English teachers say; sometimes the curtains are just blue [[User:Azure42|Azure/ChromeVoid42]] ([[User talk:Azure42|talk]]) 17:21, 11 October 2019 (UTC)

== Rotom Pokédex in "Unofficial" Segment ==

The Rotom Pokédex qualifies under that category and travels alongside Ash and his buddies. Should it be included? If so, the template will need a minor adjustment for this to work. [[User:Pikatwig|Pikatwig]] ([[User talk:Pikatwig|talk]]) 03:05, 3 December 2016 (UTC)

== Ash staying 10years old ==

The convention in Delaware with the original voice actor of Jessie when asked Ash's age said he was still 10 because the show is an evergreen show.--Pokemonfansuper 13:46, 13 December 2016 (UTC)

== In the games section ==
Should we have a section of Ash's appearances in the games? He's appeared in Puzzle League and implied to be the writer of the letter at the beginning of the Sun and Moon demo. He's also present in all the SEGA Pico games, and there are event Pokémon based on his Pokémon (like Ash's Pikachu back in Generation IV and now Ash-Greninja).

== Taking Care Of segment for Pokémon Egg ==

Since both he and Lillie were tasked with watching over the Pokémon Egg, it should be noted on both of their pages. [[User:Pikatwig|Pikatwig]] ([[User talk:Pikatwig|talk]]) 18:17, 22 December 2016 (UTC)

== Poke Ride ==

Why don't we add the Poke ride Pokémon that Ash uses? I had added Sharpedo, Tauros and Lapras but they removed? Why should Poke Ride be listed on Kiawe'd page but not Ash's? [[User:05308|Diamond]] [[Lanturn (Pokémon)|Lanturn]] [[User talk:05308|CodeName: 05308]] 17:53, 19 January 2017 (UTC)
:Everything that Ash uses or interacts with in any way should not (IMO) be notable. He rides Poke Ride Pokemon. So? That's what they're there for, he doesn't own them or anything significant. I really think random Poke Ride Pokemon should be removed from others' pages too, but I removed them here in particular because Ash just has so many Pokemon listed, and these ones really didn't deserve it (again, IMO). [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 18:10, 19 January 2017 (UTC)

But he actually using them in the series as Kiawe have Pokemon to ride at school as it shown own his page. He doesn't own the Taurus from the Pokemon school or the wailmer. If I'm correct, dose that mean Ash on his article should have those Pokemon own his article. Ash shown to use few Pokemon that aren't in the game to ride on such as Wailmer and pelipper. Should we add those Pokemon it seems important for the series articles. --[[User:DragoAlex|DragoAlex]] ([[User talk:DragoAlex|talk]]) 19:29, 19 January 2017 (UTC)

== Split suggestion ==

I propose that we split off the lists of Ash's Pokémon into a secondary article, which could be titled "Ash Ketchum's Pokémon," "Ash's Pokémon," "Ash Ketchum/Pokémon," or anything similar. By my count, the anime list alone takes up a full quarter of this page's ridiculous size (25k of ~100k bytes). In my opinion, this page should keep whatever Ash has in his party or in rotation, since that's what's relevant to the current anime, and everything else would be visible on the secondary page without cluttering up this main page. Thanks for your consideration. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 19:21, 19 January 2017 (UTC)
:I think it's the temporary Pokémon section that's taking up the most space and should be split off the page. We do have a [[List of Pokémon temporarily owned by the Team Rocket trio]], so we can do the same for Ash's temporary Pokémon. However, everything else is too important to place elsewhere.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 03:46, 21 January 2017 (UTC)

::I'm also with ForceFire. And what do you think about putting together released, traded away, given away and unofficial Pokemon to "lost Pokemon"?--[[User:Dominikololo|Dominikololo]] ([[User talk:Dominikololo|talk]]) 15:09, 18 February 2017 (UTC)
:::I agree with Pumpkinking0192 as in we should split the page, the anime isn't likely to stop soon and Ash is bound to get more pokemon as time goes on Though I do believe that there should be a page with pokemon that reside at Oak's laboratory and a section for Ash's pokemon and one for Gary's (if there are any known) and have this page link to it instead of listing all pokemon that Oak is keeping for Ash. If we don't split the page eventually it'll take an hour to quickly scroll to the bottom and yes I realize that at the top there are links to send you to the area you want quickly but there are also people in this world who dislike using those links. {{unsigned|Pokegail|20:11, 25 September 2017 (UTC)}}

== Picture ==

First off I realized that Pikachu was edited in Ash's picture when in reality he should be alone like this: http://www.pokebeach.com/news/1016/Ash-Pikachu-Sun-Moon-Anime.jpg
Can someone remove pikachu from the picture?

Also for when the 20th movie comes out should we change his picture to his movie appearance? {{unsigned|Theexploringgamer}}
:The image will not be replaced, because the movie is a standalone thing, whereas his current outfit will go on for a while after the movie airs, so there's no point in changing it for the movie and then changing it back afterwards when the next Sun and Moon episode airs. [[User:Playerking95|Playerking95]] ([[User talk:Playerking95|talk]]) 13:37, 21 February 2017 (UTC)

== Ash's Xy section ==

Don't you think there's a bit too much on Ash's xy section? I think it's a bit too long and detailed to the point where it spoils important parts of episodes or just that it has minor unnecessarily parts. I feel like it is like this with characters like Bonnie, Serena and xy in general {{unsigned|Mowahib}}
:Obviously so. I've been planning to make heavy, heavy trims once I've watched all of XY, but that may not happen for awhile. In the meantime, you're welcome to do it yourself. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 14:30, 17 June 2017 (UTC)

==Sun and Moon Ash Statement==
A friend brought this up to me earlier today and it has an official comment from the sound director on Twitter. So... uh... I'm going to mention this. http://satoshipediaeng.altervista.org/sun-moon-is-not-continuation-of-xyz-the-main-characters-are-completely-new-ash-and-pikachu/ [[User:Pikatwig|Pikatwig]] ([[User talk:Pikatwig|talk]]) 16:20, 28 June 2017 (UTC)
:That article doesn't make a lot of sense and seems like overly agitated ramblings. It's much, much more likely that the tweet is simply misinterpreted: "not a continuation of XYZ" just means that it's a new season, just like Best Wishes could be seen as "not a continuation of DP" and XY as "not a continuation of Best Wishes". And "a completely new Satoshi and Pikachu" is patently ridiculous to take literally; it's probably referring to his character design, or else is a metaphor for, again, starting fresh with a new season.
:Let me ask you this: if Sun & Moon Ash were really a new character who's not the same as Ash from previous seasons, then how would he have been able to refer to [[Ash's Tauros|his Tauros]] in [[SM001]]? It's that simple. It's the same Ash as ever, period. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 16:36, 28 June 2017 (UTC)
:: The phrasing is up for interpretation, they could've meant it's not a continuation of XYZ in tone (which sound is a huge part of), since XYZ was of course much darker and intense than SM is, and that Ash is different to his XYZ version because he's more lax than semi-serious as he was in XYZ. I think if it was an entirely different reality they would've made a much bigger deal about it [[User:Azure42|Azure/ChromeVoid42]] ([[User talk:Azure42|talk]]) 16:39, 28 June 2017 (UTC)
::: I'm simply bringing this up is all. [[User:Pikatwig|Pikatwig]] ([[User talk:Pikatwig|talk]]) 17:23, 28 June 2017 (UTC)
::: While I'm (sadly) leaning towards this being possible (consider the 20th movie being a drastically altered retelling of the first few episodes, and that reboots in general are for some reason huge in the entertainment industry right now), the article also argues that the Best Wishes series is a separate continuity, which is definitely untrue. [[User:TeridaxXD001|TeridaxXD001]] ([[User talk:TeridaxXD001|talk]]) 20:05, 28 June 2017 (UTC)
:::: Since the tweet also contains pencil artwork of the SM series, I think the director is most likely referring to the new art style. [[User:Satsjoe|Satsjoe]] ([[User talk:Satsjoe|talk]]) 20:36, 28 June 2017 (UTC)

==Higher Quality Sun and Moon character artwork==
I just found character artwork for the Sun and Moon series in a larger and higher quality. They are found on the Gulli (French TV channel) website. It also includes Ash without Pikachu.

== Possible M20 split? ==

Unlike the other movies, M20 is not filler. It's been said to take place in a different dimension than the main series. In other words, M20!Ash=/=MS!Ash. Should we split the page, so that all the information concerning M20!Ash does not contradict the main page. Another reason is that the two characters lived different lives, had different outfits, different companions, etc. We would no place to write the exploits of M20!Ash. It could be like what the wiki did when separating EToP!Ash from the main Ash page. [[User:Iml908|Iml908]] ([[User talk:Iml908|talk]]) 19:03, 2 August 2017 (UTC)

== Split ==

I disagree with splitting Ash's Pokémon from this page. I think listing them here is important. Most of his Pokémon are only links to their own pages, so don't take up much space anyway.

However, I do think it would be a good idea to split "Ash's temporary Pokémon" to a separate page, much like [[List of Pokémon temporarily owned by the Team Rocket trio]]. They do take up a lot of space, and don't have much relevance to Ash as a character. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 02:49, 1 October 2017 (UTC)

== Ash's Buzzwole ==

It's currently listed under "Temporary pokémon", but it's the only pokémon in this category at the moment that Ash actually caught in a pokéball. Since Ash actually caught and then released Buzzwole it should be moved up to "Released Pokémon". The description of "Temporary pokémon" does not fit as Buzzwole is neither a wild pokémon Ash teamed up with nor belongs to another trainer. There's precedence for this in Beedrill, which Ash also actually caught in a pokéball, which is now in its own category above the one for "temporary pokémon". [[User:Mijzelffan|Mijzelffan]] ([[User talk:Mijzelffan|talk]]) 12:56, 9 February 2018 (UTC)

: I agree with this. Only major thing we'll have to do is make a page for Buzzwole. [[User:Super10ZX|Super10ZX]] ([[User talk:Super10ZX|talk]]) 13:02, 9 February 2018 (UTC)

: I think that case is the same of Seaking, catching in Johto. Ash doesn't use Buzzwole like the others Pokémon, just catch it. --[[User:Lockheedpryde|Lockheedpryde]] ([[User talk:Lockheedpryde|talk]]) 13:39, 9 February 2018 (UTC)

::Seaking has less going for it than Buzzwole. Seaking is caught as part of a game which has the rules to be released after, similarly to something like the [[Battle Bingo]]. It's even caught in an anime-only Lake Ball which seems to have a 100% catch rate and might not be an actual pokéball. No such arguments can be made for the Buzzwole however, which was caught as an ordinary wild pokémon in a legitimate pokéball. After catching it Ash even does his traditional "caught a pokémon" pose. [[User:Mijzelffan|Mijzelffan]] ([[User talk:Mijzelffan|talk]]) 13:59, 9 February 2018 (UTC)
:::Seaking was caught as part of a [[Seaking Catching Day|structured competition]] that requires Trainers to release their Seaking back into the Seaking's natural habitat afterward; Buzzwole is caught as part of a [[Ultra Guardians|structured team effort]] that requires members to release Ultra Beasts back into [[Ultra Space|the UBs' natural habitat]] afterward. I feel like they're much more similar than you're giving them credit for. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 17:01, 9 February 2018 (UTC)

== SM055 ==

This paragraph was removed under the reasoning that Ash was not heavily focused on in [[SM055]].

: In ''[[SM055|The Professors' New Adventure!]]'', Nebby disappeared, leaving Ash feeling sorry for not able to thank it for its help. Later, Ash discovered that Professor Kukui and [[Professor Burnet]] had decided to get married. After learning they weren't planning to have a wedding, Ash and his classmates arranged a surprise wedding ceremony, with Ash acting as the ring bearer. During the reception, Lusamine, [[Wicke]] and Faba approached Ash and his friends, with Faba apologizing for his earlier actions. The three then invited Ash and his classmates to join an Ultra Beast response unit called the [[Ultra Guardians]], which they all agreed to. By the end of the ceremony, Ash saw Nebby flying through the sky and thanked it before Nebby disappeared.

I would disagree considering that joining the Ultra Guardians was a major plot point and lead-in to future episodes, and the Pokémon School students are directly involved in organising the wedding ceremony (in Ash's case, including waking up Professor Kukui and being the ring bearer). Also the Legendary Pokémon Ash was gifted by the Island Guardians for ten episodes (who helped with the rescue of Lusamine) leaving does seem pretty major regarding Ash and Nebby to me (that's not me saying to include EVERY capture, evolution, departure and hatching across the various regions in Ash's history section though). [[User:TardisTybort|TardisTybort]] ([[User talk:TardisTybort|talk]]) 23:33, 22 April 2018 (UTC)
:It's important to note that some pages, particularly Ash's here, can get very big very easily. The history should probably be pretty broad strokes. Take a look at the Advanced Generation section: that hardly references any specific episodes, and (...without being involved in the anime much) IMO that's probably a good idea for the whole history section. (DP and BW look alright too perhaps. OS, XY, and SM can probably use greater or lesser amounts of cleaning up or compressing.)
:Just glancing at what's above, I'd say that in particular the wedding may not be that important. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 23:53, 22 April 2018 (UTC)
:: I do in broad terms understand being more sparing with space and compressing when a character is around for over 5 years, never mind 20 like Ash. Although I'm not 100% sure about outright being vague with citing episodes, especially when the individual series span over a hundred episodes (or at least 3 seasons) each. At a minimum, I'd feel like mentioning "after badge X" or "after town Y" or "the Z league" and put in a more chronological order than I've seen ([https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Ash_Ketchum&type=revision&diff=2766416&oldid=2766415 for instance, this bit correcting how in XY, Ash's travels with Korrina come BEFORE the Summer Camp]).
:: Specifically regarding the events of the episode, though, I still defend what I said about Ash, Nebby and the Ultra Guardians for the reasons I already said, even if I get just for space reasons we don't need to blow-by-blow mention everything that's plot related from ''[[S21|Ultra Adventures]]'' (though off the top of my head, I think that would depend heavily on the anime character's page). [[User:TardisTybort|TardisTybort]] ([[User talk:TardisTybort|talk]]) 01:35, 23 April 2018 (UTC)

::::I wouldn't encourage "After X/Y/Z" one after another either, this isn't a grade schooler's report on how to make peanut butter and jelly. This should be a well considered, encyclopedic summary. The AG section really is a ''good'' overview. It reads very well.
::::The current SM section practically comes off more as a journal, with an episode title starting basically every paragraph. I understand that it may seem difficult since that's ongoing. It's still subpar; not what we should really want. ...Or, heck, I could be half wrong. Maybe we could try to only have a broad strokes overview of most of the previous/current episodes, but—as it is the ongoing season—perhaps we could try to go into some more specific detail for the latest significant episode (such as, say, Ultra Guardians); but even that should remain as limited as possible, not letting half a dozen episodes' worth of specifics build up at the end of the section. (...I'm not demanding that the SM section change. I'm not part of the anime enough to keep that in check all the time. I'm just emphasizing that there are better things we could do—or will need to do once the series is over, at the very least.)

::::: Been thinking about this, and I think while I understand the way the paragraph beginnings look may not be ideal or sufficiently encyclopedic, I'm not hugely in favour of them being unsourced in any way either (or only sourced as far as "in the {{series|Advanced Generation}}" and so forth, even though the anime more often than not changes regions long-term within the same series). Whether this is on Ash in SM or in already-completed series. I just took "in [episode whatever]" thing as a kind of inelegant stopgap.

Kind of want to hear more opinions in the community before making any decision (I've been editing here a month, and Tiddlywinks by their own admission isn't involved much with anime characters).

==SM061==
Why aren't we counting Buzzwole as a fully owned Ash Pokemon? it's with the ones like Pokemon he borrowed and yet he clearly caught it so why don't we have a page with "Ash's Buzzwole". Sure he only had it for 7 seconds but a catch is a catch and I think it should be under released and have a profile of its own. He got a Pokeball, threw it at the Pokemon and caught it. He even did his, I CAUGHT A POKEMON! putting it with random Pokes he's borrowed or made friends with is misleading IMO because he literally caught it[[User:Muur1234|Muur1234]] ([[User talk:Muur1234|talk]]) 03:04, 7 July 2018 (UTC)

:::The entire purpose of the Ultra Guardians is to catch and release Ultra Beasts back to their homeworlds. It was caught by Ash for the Ultra Guardians, not as a new addition to his personal team.

== Released Pokemon ==

As an Ultra Guardian, Ash has caught many ultra beasts that were afterwards released. Why are they not recorded in his released Pokémon section? {{unsigned|Elite4Alola}}

== Z-Crystals ==

Sorry if this was answered before, I don't see it. But why was the decision to favor "Trials" over "Z-crystals" made. I find it absolutely troubling that NOT all of Ash's Z-Crystals are listed simply because Grand Trials and Trials somehow take precedence. Wouldn't it make more sense to focus on Z-crystals in this case OVER trials/grand trials since the Z-crystals are more important from a wikipedia/encyclopedia perspective (at least in my opinion). Granted maybe its simply because the section was about "challenges/tournaments/whatever you want to call them" and that's why. But I definitely don't understand the reasoning behind not putting ALL of Ash's Z-crystals on the page in some fashion. Seems incomplete and inaccurate to me. But that's just my opinion, I primarily just want an explanation for why all the Z-crystals aren't listed only focusing on the ones Ash got from trials/grand trials. --[[User:Dman dustin|Dman dustin]] ([[User talk:Dman dustin|talk]]) 18:11, 15 June 2019 (UTC)

== Split suggestion ==

I propose that we split off the lists of Ash's Pokémon into a secondary article, which could be titled "Ash Ketchum's Pokémon," "Ash's Pokémon," "Ash Ketchum/Pokémon," or anything similar. By my count, the anime list alone takes up a full quarter of this page's ridiculous size (25k of ~100k bytes). In my opinion, this page should keep whatever Ash has in his party or in rotation, since that's what's relevant to the current anime, and everything else would be visible on the secondary page without cluttering up this main page.

:That article doesn't make a lot of sense and seems like overly agitated ramblings.

And "a completely new Satoshi and Pikachu" is patently ridiculous to take literally; it's probably referring to his character design, or else is a metaphor for, again, starting fresh with a new season.
:Let me ask you this: if Sun & Moon Ash were really a new character who's not the same as Ash from previous seasons, then how would he have been able to refer to [[Ash's Tauros|his Tauros]] in [[SM001]]?

== Possible M20 split? ==

Unlike the other movies, M20 is not filler. It's been said to take place in a different dimension than the main series. In other words, M20!Ash=/=MS!Ash. Should we split the page, so that all the information concerning M20!Ash does not contradict the main page. Another reason is that the two characters lived different lives, had different outfits, different companions, etc. We would no place to write the exploits of M20!Ash. It could be like what the wiki did when separating EToP!Ash from the main Ash page. [[User:Iml908|Iml908]] ([[User talk:Iml908|talk]]) 19:03, 2 August 2017 (UTC)

== Split ==

I disagree with splitting Ash's Pokémon from this page. I think listing them here is important. Most of his Pokémon are only links to their own pages, so don't take up much space anyway.

However, I do think it would be a good idea to split "Ash's temporary Pokémon" to a separate page, much like [[List of Pokémon temporarily owned by the Team Rocket trio]]. They do take up a lot of space, and don't have much relevance to Ash as a character. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 02:49, 1 October 2017 (UTC)

== Ash's Buzzwole ==

It's currently listed under "Temporary pokémon", but it's the only pokémon in this category at the moment that Ash actually caught in a pokéball. Since Ash actually caught and then released Buzzwole it should be moved up to "Released Pokémon". The description of "Temporary pokémon" does not fit as Buzzwole is neither a wild pokémon Ash teamed up with nor belongs to another trainer. There's precedence for this in Beedrill, which Ash also actually caught in a pokéball, which is now in its own category above the one for "temporary pokémon". [[User:Mijzelffan|Mijzelffan]] ([[User talk:Mijzelffan|talk]]) 12:56, 9 February 2018 (UTC)

::Seaking has less going for it than Buzzwole. Seaking is caught as part of a game which has the rules to be released after, similarly to something like the [[Battle Bingo]]. It's even caught in an anime-only Lake Ball which seems to have a 100% catch rate and might not be an actual pokéball. No such arguments can be made for the Buzzwole however, which was caught as an ordinary wild pokémon in a legitimate pokéball. After catching it Ash even does his traditional "caught a pokémon" pose.

== SM055 ==

This paragraph was removed under the reasoning that Ash was not heavily focused on in [[SM055]].

: In ''[[SM055|The Professors' New Adventure!]]'', Nebby disappeared, leaving Ash feeling sorry for not able to thank it for its help. Later, Ash discovered that Professor Kukui and [[Professor Burnet]] had decided to get married. After learning they weren't planning to have a wedding, Ash and his classmates arranged a surprise wedding ceremony, with Ash acting as the ring bearer. During the reception, Lusamine, [[Wicke]] and Faba approached Ash and his friends, with Faba apologizing for his earlier actions. The three then invited Ash and his classmates to join an Ultra Beast response unit called the [[Ultra Guardians]], which they all agreed to. By the end of the ceremony, Ash saw Nebby flying through the sky and thanked it before Nebby disappeared.

I would disagree considering that joining the Ultra Guardians was a major plot point and lead-in to future episodes, and the Pokémon School students are directly involved in organising the wedding ceremony (in Ash's case, including waking up Professor Kukui and being the ring bearer). Also the Legendary Pokémon Ash was gifted by the Island Guardians for ten episodes (who helped with the rescue of Lusamine) leaving does seem pretty major regarding Ash and Nebby to me (that's not me saying to include EVERY capture, evolution, departure and hatching across the various regions in Ash's history section though). [[User:TardisTybort|TardisTybort]] ([[User talk:TardisTybort|talk]]) 23:33, 22 April 2018 (UTC)
:It's important to note that some pages, particularly Ash's here, can get very big very easily. The history should probably be pretty broad strokes. Take a look at the Advanced Generation section: that hardly references any specific episodes, and (...without being involved in the anime much) IMO that's probably a good idea for the whole history section. (DP and BW look alright too perhaps. OS, XY, and SM can probably use greater or lesser amounts of cleaning up or compressing.)

:: I do in broad terms understand being more sparing with space and compressing when a character is around for over 5 years, never mind 20 like Ash. Although I'm not 100% sure about outright being vague with citing episodes, especially when the individual series span over a hundred episodes (or at least 3 seasons) each. At a minimum, I'd feel like mentioning "after badge X" or "after town Y" or "the Z league" and put in a more chronological order than I've seen ([https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Ash_Ketchum&type=revision&diff=2766416&oldid=2766415 for instance, this bit correcting how in XY, Ash's travels with Korrina come BEFORE the Summer Camp]).
:: Specifically regarding the events of the episode, though, I still defend what I said about Ash, Nebby and the Ultra Guardians for the reasons I already said, even if I get just for space reasons we don't need to blow-by-blow mention everything that's plot related from ''[[S21|Ultra Adventures]]'' (though off the top of my head, I think that would depend heavily on the anime character's page).

::::The current SM section practically comes off more as a journal, with an episode title starting basically every paragraph. I understand that it may seem difficult since that's ongoing.

Sorry if this was answered before, I don't see it. But why was the decision to favor "Trials" over "Z-crystals" made. I find it absolutely troubling that NOT all of Ash's Z-Crystals are listed simply because Grand Trials and Trials somehow take precedence. Wouldn't it make more sense to focus on Z-crystals in this case OVER trials/grand trials since the Z-crystals are more important from a wikipedia/encyclopedia perspective (at least in my opinion). Granted maybe its simply because the section was about "challenges/tournaments/whatever you want to call them" and that's why. But I definitely don't understand the reasoning behind not putting ALL of Ash's Z-crystals on the page in some fashion. Seems incomplete and inaccurate to me. But that's just my opinion, I primarily just want an explanation for why all the Z-crystals aren't listed only focusing on the ones Ash got from trials/grand trials. --[[User:Dman dustin|Dman dustin]] ([[User talk:Dman dustin|talk]]) 18:11, 15 June 2019 (UTC)

== Worldwide reception ==

Correct me if I'm wrong, this page has a meaningless comparison between the Alola Islands and the Orange Islands, we have episodes that talk about the political moment in Japan (which has zero influence on the anime), we have episodes that compare random events with references random from other anime, we have the reception of the episode of Porygon.

Explain to me then how the way POKEMON COMPANY, FRANCHISE CREATORS, GLOBAL CELEBRITIES, OR THE WORLD MIDIA received this episode doesn't matter? We're not talking about John Doe's reception, we're talking about Star Trek's Captain Kirk, about the company that works with these characters and one of the world's largest news companies. We're talking about the actress who gives voice to this character for over a decade. ( https://twitter.com/TheVeronicaT/status/1173282243042611200 )or from Rica Matsumoto herself.

:1) The comparison between Alola and the Orange Islands isn't meaningless. Those are the only instances where Ash has won a Pokémon League in the anime. To minimize the significance of such a fact like you just did is beyond me. It is also important to note the distinction between those two regions: the Alola League originated from the games whilst the Orange League is anime-original. So in essence, Ash's Alola League victory is a whole lot more official than his Orange League victory.

:2) You're going to have to clarify what you mean by "the political moment in Japan". Did you mean to say "political movement"? Or is it something else?

:3) Cross-anime references are important to note because the [[Pokémon anime]] is, you know, an anime too. Check the link if you don't believe me.

:4) [[EP038]] is a very special exception because of the health effects that put thousands of children at risk. The reaction to that is infinitely more important than the jubilation of some celebrities on social media. Moreover, not mentioning real-world events is excepted for all the other [[banned episodes]] because said real-world events profoundly affected the production and airing of these episodes ''beforehand''. If the reactions of this episode caused it to be banned, then yes, it would be worth mentioning. But what you mentioned are simply reactions of jubilation. That's nothing to note here. After all, [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AGrammarFreak01&type=revision&diff=3024743&oldid=3024742 as I mentioned before on my talk page], we don't have any content about the reaction to [[XY131]], and yes, Hikaru, ''it's the same thing as this case''. Extensive news coverage, widespread social media reactions, all revolving around a [[Pokémon League Conference]] outcome? And yet, I don't see anything like that on the XY131 episode article.

:P.S.: This is by no means "the most popular episode of the franchise in a long, long time". I've also seen boatloads of people who are disappointed and even upset by the outcome, for various reasons. You shouldn't jump into talk pages assuming things like this.

: We do not work on assumptions, if a Legendary attacking post-league was an indication Ash would win it would've been the case for Kalos, which it wasn't. If you wish to discuss whether or not this will be the case please use a forum, please also sign off your comments on these discussion pages with four tildes (~) as you are reminded at the top of the editing page [[User:Azure42|Azure/ChromeVoid42]] ([[User talk:Azure42|talk]]) 12:21, 7 September 2019 (UTC)

==Trivia==
* The Japanese title of this episode is very similar to the Japanese title for ''[[M04|Celebi: The Voice of the Forest]]''.
** The plot of the episode also has similar elements to the movie, with {{Ash}} meeting a young version of a {{an|Professor Oak|Professor}} and their {{p|Charmeleon|Fire-type starter}} due the actions of a {{p|Celebi}}. The episode also focuses on Kukui's Pokémon [[move]] book, as it did with Sam's sketchbook to identify the past and present characters as one of the same.
* This episode marks the first use of the move {{m|Ice Ball}} since ''[[AG110|The Great Eight Fate!]]''. This is also the first time the move has been used by a Pokémon outside of the {{p|Spheal}} evolutionary line in the anime.
* {{AP|Pikachu}}, the [[narrator]], {{AP|Rowlet}}, and {{AP|Lycanroc}} narrate the preview for the [[SM126|next episode]].

===Errors===
* When the wild Pokémon are about to watch Ash and Kukui's battle, the three {{p|Diglett}} have a lighter mound of stone underneath them than in the wide shot before they rush towards the two - where the mound is black.

==Trivia==
* The Japanese title of this episode is very similar to the Japanese title for ''[[M04|Celebi: The Voice of the Forest]]''.
** The plot of the episode also takes similar notes with {{Ash}} being sent back in time by a [[Celebi (M04)|Celebi]] and meeting a young version of a {{an|Professor Oak|Professor}} and their [[Professor Oak (anime)#Charmeleon|Fire-Type Starter]]. The Episode also focuses on Kukui's Pokémon book as it did with Sam's sketchbook to identify the past and present characters as one of the same.
* This episode marks the first use of {{m|Ice Ball}} since ''[[AG110|The Great Eight Fate!]]''. This is also the first time Thrash has been used by a Pokémon outside of the {{p|Spheal}} evolutionary line in the anime.
* {{AP|Pikachu}}, the [[Narrator]], {{AP|Rowlet}}, and {{AP|Lycanroc}} narrate the preview for the [[SM126|next episode]].

===Errors===
* When the wild Pokémon are about to watch Ash and Kukui's battle, the three {{p|Diglett}} have a lighter mount of stone underneath them than in the wide shot before they rush towards the two - where the mound is black.

==Trivia==
* [[Poké Problem]]: ''Which Pokémon do I use in [[Hapu]]'s [[Island challenge|grand trial]] in today's episode?''
** Host: {{Ash}}
** Choices: {{AP|Lycanroc}}, {{AP|Torracat}}, {{AP|Rowlet}}, {{AP|Pikachu}}
** Answer: Pikachu
* The [[Your Adventure|opening animation]] is updated to include {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Shaymin}}.
* {{an|Professor Kukui}}, an expert Caddie, {{AP|Pikachu}}, and Ash narrate the preview for the [[SM110|next episode]].
* The original preview for this episode included {{Rotom}} next to {{an|Kiawe}} during the shot where Kiawe tells Ash to do his best, but in the episode proper, Rotom is not seen in said shot.
* The method Ash uses to defeat {{p|Mudsdale}} (covering it in water, making it susceptible to Pikachu's {{type|Electric}} attacks) is the similar to the method he used to defeat {{an|Brock}} in ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]''. Although in that episode, it happened by accident, where on this occasion Ash does it on purpose.
** It is also similar to the method Ash used to damage [[Pryce]]'s {{TP|Pryce|Piloswine}} with Electric-type moves in ''[[EP238|Nice Pryce, Baby!]]'' and to further damage [[Alain]]'s {{P|Tyranitar}} in ''[[XY130|Finals Not for the Faint-Hearted!]]''.

===Errors===
* After {{an|Kiawe}} is initially shown in his usual swim shorts, his shorts change color to look like the usual shorts that he wears.
