During the course of the anime, many characters have appeared in opposition to Ash. Similar to games in virtually every region Ash meets a new rival and battle it several times during the course of the region.
Often an anime establishes three types of rivals in these areas:
Often an anime establishes three types of rivals in these areas:


'''Main Rival:''' Rival that usually wins the most battles and is finally defeated in battle in the main competition of the anime. Their attitudes are more rude and they usually stay one step ahead of Ash. Examples of this are Gary, Paul and Trip.
'''Main rival:''' The primary rival of a series, and usually remain undefeated against Ash in traditional battles up until the major tournament of the series. During the first few series, many of them had antagonistic relationships with Ash; however, starting with ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]'', they became more friendly in nature.
[[File:BW010.png|200px|thumb|Ash's current rival: Trip]]
'''Friendly Rival:''' character who generally tend to have attitudes more generally friendly and tend to be in the same level of battles of the protagonist. Examples are Barry, Morrison and Bianca.


'''League Rival:''' character who often appears to meet Ash soon after the final battle against the main rival at the Pokémon League, every battle so far resulted in defeat for Ash. Their example is Tobias, Harrison and Tyson.
'''Secondary rival:''' A character who is not the main rival of a series, but nonetheless develops a competitive rivalry with Ash during the course of it which are generally friendly in nature. While Ash usually maintains an edge against them in battle, they may be able to defeat him on occasion.
 
'''League rival:''' A character who first meets Ash at some point after the latter has fulfilled the requirements to compete in a Pokémon League Conference, which is usually either during or shortly before the beginning of the arc. These rivals are the most likely to eliminate Ash from the tournament.

== Original series ==
==In the anime==
The initial phase of anime stabilized only as Gary Oak rival for much of its course, but as the story continued in Johto way more characters entered. Misty also acted like rivals in many episodes, but it followed different goals.

Gary was Ash's first rival in the anime. Gary is the grandson of {{an|Professor Oak}} and began his journey along with his {{TP|Gary|Squirtle}},  
Gary is the first rival of Ash (and possibly the biggest one so far). He is the grandson of Professor Oak and began his journey along with his Squirtle, with a few appearances in the Kanto region he is eventually defeated in the league and finished in the top 32.

=====Pokémon=====
During the Orange League saga he goes in search of training, after rediscovering Ash, he defeats [[Ash's Pikachu]] with his powerful {{p|Eevee}} (which later evolved into [[Gary's Umbreon|Umbreon]] ) and go to the Johto region.
 
They eventually battle for the Silver Conference where Ash is victorious after a tough battle because of this Gary decides to become a Pokémon researcher.
 
He makes brief appearances during the Battle Frontier saga of the anime, where he defeats [[Ash's Pikachu]] again with his newly acquired Electivire and continues its journey to the Sinnoh region, where it creates a kind of rivalry with the [[Pokémon Hunter J]] and tries to help by a order in the plans of Team Galactic.

== Advanced Generation ==
===''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]''===
Although the saga Advance Generation anime has never created a rival to Ash himself, many characters during the course of the series acted as his rivals at some points.
Continuing with Ash's journey through the Hoenn region, ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'' never established a recurring rival for Ash, instead Ash clashed with a few characters occasionally. However, with a few episodes left before the [[Ever Grande Conference]] competition begins, Ash and his friends meet Morrison, a Trainer who begins a friendship and a brief rivalry with Ash.
===May===
[[File:MayAG.png|100px|thumb|{{an|May}}]]
{{main|May (anime)|May}}
Although May has never been specifically treated as a rival in the anime, it has much in common with their counterparts of the games and manga, where she is the main rival of the male character in the game (or manga).  


As in the games, her starter Pokémon has an advantage of the type of Ash's starter in the Hoenn region (Treecko), she also had several battles against Ash and is more notable for her last fight against Ash in Battle Frontier saga. She also competes in another kind of competition as opposed to Ash, similar to Sapphire in manga (but the manga is the opposite: Ruby is the Coordinator of the saga while Sapphire is the trainer who battles for badges).

== Diamond and Pearl ==
===''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''===
Diamond and Pearl is so far the series where most rivals have been created for the main characters of anime. In addition to Ash's rivals, most Dawn's rivals battled against Ash several times at one point or another in the anime.

===Paul===
====Paul====
{{main|Paul}}
{{main|Paul}}
[[File:ShinjiDP.png|100px|thumb|right|Paul]]
[[File:Paul JN.png|250px|thumb|right|Paul]]
Paul is a veteran trainer to [[Veilstone City]], much of his rivalry with Ash was due to their attitudes with their Pokémon<!--(What didn't make sense was that Ash was asking him about his missing Pikachu in the first place and Paul told him about Starly)-->. While Paul would rather focus on brute strength and heavy workouts for his Pokémon, Ash was the opposite of that which caused many fights between them.
Paul is an experienced Trainer from [[Veilstone City]]. Much of his rivalry with Ash was due to a disagreement over which [[Pokémon training]] method was correct. While Paul would focus on strengthening his Pokémon through heavy training sessions, Ash believed that [[Friendship|developing a bond]] with his Pokémon was the best way to achieve good results. This caused many confusing arguments between them throughout the series.
 
Paul is the trainer's original of [[Ash's Chimchar]] who was released after failing to meet their expectations during the tournament in Tag Battle [[Hearthome City]].


Despite his starter being a Turtwig (which evolved to Torterra well before Diamond and Pearl), the main Pokémon he owned in the Sinnoh region is a {{TP|Paul|Electivire}} that he's trained since it was an {{p|Elekid}} and was used in the last battle against Ash in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]].
Paul is also the [[original Trainer]] of [[Ash's Infernape]], who was released when it was a {{p|Chimchar}} after failing to meet Paul's expectations during the [[Hearthome City Tag Battle Competition]].


Despite his [[list of characters' first Pokémon|first Pokémon]] being a {{p|Turtwig}}, which evolved into a {{TP|Paul|Torterra}} before its introduction, Paul's main Pokémon is an {{TP|Paul|Electivire}} that he trained since it was an {{p|Elekid}} and was used in the last battle against Ash in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]].

Ash's rivals

Note: This page is under development, feel free to increase it in some detail.

During the course of the anime, many characters have appeared in opposition to Ash. Similar to games in virtually every region Ash meets a new rival and battle it several times during the course of the region. Often an anime establishes three types of rivals in these areas:

Main rival: The primary rival of a series, and usually remain undefeated against Ash in traditional battles up until the major tournament of the series. During the first few series, many of them had antagonistic relationships with Ash; however, starting with Pokémon the Series: XY, they became more friendly in nature.

Secondary rival: A character who is not the main rival of a series, but nonetheless develops a competitive rivalry with Ash during the course of it which are generally friendly in nature. While Ash usually maintains an edge against them in battle, they may be able to defeat him on occasion.

League rival: A character who first meets Ash at some point after the latter has fulfilled the requirements to compete in a Pokémon League Conference, which is usually either during or shortly before the beginning of the arc. These rivals are the most likely to eliminate Ash from the tournament.

Paul

Main article: Paul
Paul

Paul is an experienced Trainer from Veilstone City. Much of his rivalry with Ash was due to a disagreement over which Pokémon training method was correct. While Paul would focus on strengthening his Pokémon through heavy training sessions, Ash believed that developing a bond with his Pokémon was the best way to achieve good results. This caused many confusing arguments between them throughout the series.

Paul is also the original Trainer of Ash's Infernape, who was released when it was a Chimchar after failing to meet Paul's expectations during the Hearthome City Tag Battle Competition.

Despite his first Pokémon being a Turtwig, which evolved into a Torterra before its introduction, Paul's main Pokémon is an Electivire that he trained since it was an Elekid and was used in the last battle against Ash in the Lily of the Valley Conference.
