His grand dream of being the world’s greatest Pokémon Master was born from a simple desire - to be friends with pokémon, all over the world. Ash is unwaveringly loyal, compassionate, stubborn, and driven. Despite these traits, he’s very carefree and simple-minded when nothing is at stake, his actions driven by a simple desire to have fun. He’s not very self-conscious, and doesn’t care to present himself in a way that caters to expectations. He’s a goofball, by his own admission.For many years, Ash was the Champion of Kanto's Pokémon League, having held the position since his young adulthood after defeating Lance.Now, he's retired, and instead serves as the final Frontier Brain of the Sevii Islands Battle Frontier.He and his family, Pokémon included, live in a remodeled estate, bordering the residential area of Viridian City. He's built a happy life full of battles, leisure, and league duties, after many years of exploring the world and challenging opponents, far and wide. Most important among his achievements, though, is putting a permanent end to Team Rocket.

Thunderbolt, Flash Surf, Play Rough, Magnet Rise, Pika-Plunge, Trailblaze, Aura Sphere Swift, Thunder, Seismic Toss, Livewire, Protect +Special Partner Moves: PikaPika ThunderForm Changes: Ash-RaichuAsh's starter Pokémon. Peeks has been through all of Ash's adventures alongside him as his best friend. The two understand each other intuitively, and together, there's little they can't accomplish. Peeks displays a more lax and mischievous personality in his later adult years, often sporting a sharp tongue and crude sense of humor mirroring his trainer. Despite this, he's still a kind and dependable leader to those in need and often acts as the voice of reason.After Ash won the Pokémon World Tournament Champions Division, Peeks stood at the top of the world. With nothing left to prove as a Pikachu, Peeks decided to evolve into a Raichu. Far free of any situation that would force him to evolve, he simply felt like it was the right time to do so. He quite likes his new height!With a Raichu's sturdier and larger body, he has a better handle on his massive power storages, and no longer needs a Light Ball to channel his full power. He's less prone to power elasticity that he suffered in his previous stage, as well.He also has a somewhat different fighting style; still prioritizing his even greater speed, but leveraging it alongside his much great mass and use of his tail!Evolution has made him trade in the ability to Gigantamax, but it's not something he considers a huge loss; Peeks prefers to fight with speed, anyway. Although the Bond Phenomenon carried over, just as functional as before he'd evolved.Pikashunium Z mutated into Raichashunium Z upon its next use. They refer to it as 1-Billion volt Thunderbolt, or 100-Billion Volt Thunderbolt in Battle Bond.Battle attributes aside, Peeks is somewhat more bold and brash as a Raichu; still kind and wise as ever, but channeled through a larger-than-life personality!

-Pollen Puff
-Quiver Dance
-Sleep Powder
-Air Slash
-Safeguard
-PsychicLearned Moves: Psychic, Electroweb, Energy Ball, String Shot, Tailwind, Aerial Ace, Air SlashForm Changes: Mega Butterfree, Gigantamax ButterfreeAsh's first catch. Butterfree was always loyal and dependable, and dreamt of soaring the skies in his final stage. He found love shortly afterward, and reluctantly split from Ash to cross the seas with Pink Butterfree to have a family.Years later, Ash re-encountered him in the Delacora Islands. Butterfree decided to return to Kanto with Ash, as did Pink. Butterfree accompanied Ash to Kalos to make up for lost time, where he learned to battle properly alongside his longtime friend, while supporting him on his many endeavors!Butterfree began to use his String Shot's silk to help Serena with her costume making, forming a friendship with the aspiring Performer.During the first stretch of Ash's Kalos journey, he and Icarus happened upon a strange marble that resonated with the bug. It turned out to be a Butterfreenite!During the group's assistance with Korrina and her Lucario Mega Evolving, Korrina allowed Ash to borrow a second Keystone, which he used to Mega Evolve Butterfree! His new, majestic form faced off against Mega Lucario, and although the latter proved far more powerful, Icarus maintained full control of his new form due to his age and maturity, while Lucario went berserk.After splitting with Korrina, Ash and Icarus are forced to rethink their strategy to defeat Korrina. Mega Lucario was overwhelmingly strong, but what of Mega Butterfree...? The secret to their power surely had to be something else.During the Summer Camp, Tierno brought a new move to light that may help Ash; Quiver Dance! Ash, Icarus, and their friends tried to follow Tierno's dancing stylings to unlock the move, eventually succeeding before their Gym Match.In Shalour, Mega Butterfree showed what Ash and Icarus found to be his true strength; building power with Quiver Dance, with the aid of his Multiscale ability allowing him a free action. By zoning Mega Lucario while powering up, and confounding him with strange movements and Stun Spore, Icarus grew to match the Aura Pokémon's power; allowing he and Ash to pull out the victory!He also took to fatherly quips and advice, doling these out to Ash, most of all, before the young adult realized that the Bug-type was acting like a father to him! After the initial shock passed, Ash got used to the parenting and took it in stride, starting to call Butterfree the father that he never had. His advice not only served Ash, but less experienced teammates as well; he often helped manage Bonnie, and was even a focus of envy for Ash's Greninja, over his unbreakable bond with Ash.He now lives out his golden years in tranquility at the KAT home with his mate. He likes to pretend that he's older and more out of touch than he really is for his own amusement, but often gives worthy & mature advice.Don't let him fool you, though; he's not nearly as feeble as he says he is!

She assisted Ash in winning the Indigo League.Gale is fierce, battle-hardy, and wise and perceptive in combat. She sports all sorts of battle scars and knicks in her plumage from a lifetime of experience. She's developed a romantic relationship with Ash's Lapras, finding commonality in their similar pasts and roles. When she Mega Evolves, her attacks are relentless.

-Weather BallLearned Moves: Solar Beam, Growth, Sleep Powder, Frenzy Plant, Earthquake, Tera BlastForm changes: Mega Venusaur, Gigantamax VenusaurThe ever-vigilant and cool-headed guardian; Rue has continued his role of a watchful protector wherever he's gone. He continues to guard the Oak Ranch in Pallet Town and maintain its order, though Ash is (almost) always just one route away! His visits to Viridian and the Xanadu Nursery are frequent.Rue finally decided to evolve during Ash's reign as Champion; witnessing both Charizard and Captain evolve, he felt compelled to join them, rather than pressured. Was it the fact that he'd proved himself as one of the world's strongest alongside Ash as a Bulbasaur? Was it just an act of pettiness? Maybe it was the lure of awakening his potential with Mega Evolution... No one knows but Rue, himself!How mysterious!

-Flamethrower
-Solar Beam
-Blast Burn
-Seismic Toss
-Dragon Pulse
-Dragon RushLearned Moves: Dragon Dance, Fire Spin, Heat Wave, Breaking Swipe, Air Slash, Temper Flare, Rock Slide, Scorching SandsForm Changes: Mega Charizard Y*One of the strongest of all; once a feeble Charmander, Charizard has developed a dream of being the world's strongest Fire-type.*He was given out by Professor Oak to a timid trainer named Ben, who came from a soybean farm in Pallet. Early into their journey, they'd gotten past the Pewter Gym, despite the type disadvantage, but hit a wall when they encountered a terrible older trainer named Damien Damien challenged Ben to a battle.Ben and Charmander lost horribly. After fainting, Charmander didn't see Ben again. He was told by Damien that his old trainer abandoned him. He had no choice but to cling to Damien instead. And, that's a tale that we all know well.His start with Ash, following those events, was a rocky one, where Charizard made Ash's life difficult. But together, they've ascended to heights that neither would have thought possible! One could argue he's even achieved his dream.Achieving Mega Evolution, however, was a difficult task. Acquiring a Charizardite Y was fairly simple, but when he transformed, he lost all control. After his friends brought him to heel, he was forced to reckon with what burdened him. The bond between a trainer and Pokémon was key to Mega Evolution, apparently, which helped him get to the root of his struggle — one Charla pushed him to confront.Charizard had long since nursed repressed affection for his trainer, which given his unhealthy beginnings, he had trouble dealing with, and it came out with his violent, unruly behavior. Though they'd long since reconciled as friends, Charizard buried that predicament; as far as he'd planned, for good. But when Ash pressed him about the predicament, he begrudgingly was honest with his trainer.Ash was caught off-guard, but told Charizard that he never had to be ashamed or hide how he felt. That was the authentic him, and that was okay! So, Charizard challenged Ash to a match — a ceremonial one among Charizrds to claim a partner. Ash agreed with gusto, and they fought it out!They had such a great time roughhousing that his feelings got through to Ash, and he accepted them. Of course, the honesty would have been enough to resolve their Mega Evolving issues, but who doesn't love a happy ending?Afterwards, Charizard used Mega Charizard Y without any issues! He became an unfathomable force, able to overcome even Lance's Mega Gyarados, granting Ash his second victory over the Dragon Master, and title as Indigo League Champion!A short itme afterwards, Ash encountered Charizard's original trainer, Ben, in the Pallet House café, and accidentally broached the topic of his career. Ben had quietly quit being a Pokémon Trainer after the theft, and went back home to farm with his parents. Bitter and insecure, he blew Ash off for prodding.After being filled in by Delia, Ash apologized and spoke to Ben again, getting to the bottom of the matter. Ash connected the dots — his Charizard was a stolen Pokémon! And, that just wouldn't do. He whisked Ben off to the Charicific Valley.There, Ben reunited with Charizard and explained himself. A tearful reunion helped heal years of repressed hurt and misunderstandings! Ben doesn't have the time to be a career trainer these days, nor the need, but he and Charizard did embark on one proper adventure to make up for what was stolen from them.Ash and Charizard were happy to register between Ash and Ben jointly.Although Charizard primarily acts as Ash's Pokémon, he often visits the Mameno family, aiding them on the farm and catching up on recent events!Charizard is still a stubborn and blunt Pokémon, but he's matured over the years, and generally more friendly with others than he'd been in the past. He often takes to tutoring younger Pokémon in his vicinity who he believes have a roaring flame of potential flickering within them. Rest assured though, the training is hellish!Charizard doesn't bother with Mega Charizard X or Gigantamaxing, due to several of his rival Charizards using those forms as their signature gimmicks. His prideful nature leads him to only utilize Y, which he considers his own trademark.

-Shell SmashLearned Moves: Aura Sphere, Dragon Pulse, Dark Pulse, Hydro Cannon, Shell Smash, Water Pulse, Ice Spinner, Avalanche, Flip TurnForm Changes: Mega Blastoise, Gigantamax BlastoiseCaptain (or Cap), by and large, isn't all too different from the Squirtle Ash had befriended in their youths. Cocky, confident, and cool, he's bro energy personified.Though he and Gladio had sworn off evolution early in their travels, due to Charizard's change in personality, Cap was the first to break that vow, evolving into Wartortle during Ash's Mt. Silver training. He swears it was a coming of age epiphany, though Gladio still holds that one over his head. Several years later, he evolved into his final stage!Cap still leads the Squirtle Squad as its founding and most senior member; his expertise and morale keep the Squirtle in line. They don't only aid Vermilion, but travel from city to city, and region to region to instruct other Fire Departments in their ways. Cap is world famous for his firefighting exploits and bravery!He considers Peeks, Charizard, and Gladio his best friends, though he's also close with Krookodile over their mutual love of sunglasses. On that very note, Dawn ultimately crafted him new shades to match his old ones that fit his new stature properly. It even bears his Blastoisinite, allowing him to Mega Evolve!

-Dazzling GleamLearned Moves: Hypnosis, Dream Eater, Shadow Punch, Lick, Energy Ball, Ice PunchForm Changes: Mega Gengar, Gigantamax GengarPaggliaci is very much the same Pokémon he was when Ash met him. Mischievous, prone to showing command over toon physics and slapstick violence, and cheerful; he enjoys bringing fright and laughter wherever he goes.He still vanishes occasionally, though he is less prone to leaving Ash hanging. He spends a lot of time with Glalie and Mismagius as a third wheel; they all enjoy pranks and theatrics similarly.Other Pokémon tend to dread them traveling as a trio, knowing that mischief on its way. Though, no one seems to mind them when they're on their own.

He's taken to teaching others to improve, over fighting competitively, himself. Though, with the development of evolving into his new final stage has reawakened his competitive spirit! He now has full control of his terrifying rage.

-Nasty Plot
-Fake OutLearned Moves: Double Team, Focus Punch, Iron Tail, Triple Axel, Throat Chop, Last Resort, Smack Down, Helping Hand, Baton Pass, Taunt, U-Turn, Foul Play, Fire Punch, Thunder Punch, Ice Punch, Double HitAsh first encountered Ambipom during his Battle Frontier challenge in the Kanto region, where she made a habit of petering him and stealing his hat. Aipom craved Ash's attention, and curiously, seemed to enjoy watching Pokémon Contests.Ash caught Ambipom during the Grand Festival, to her delight. She also snuck onto the boat Ash was taking to the Sinnoh region, wishing to spend more time alongside her trainer! Ash was left with no choice but to bring her along.She continued to be a bit of a nuisance, enjoying stealing Ash's hat regularly to continue garnering his attention. Shew as also possessive of him, growing angry when she was sent back to Oak's Lab. Although, their paths would diverge soon, thanks to her growing interest in Pokémon Contests over Gym Battles...Dawn's rival, Zoey, noticed that she had more of an interest in Contest appeals, while Dawn's Buizel seemed more interested in straightforward battles, and suggested that Ash and Dawn trade to put their Pokémon's interests first.It was a shocking suggestion, but Aipom agreed, joining Dawn's team!She evolved into Ambipom shortly afterwards, and proved herself a talent in Contest Battles and Appeals, despite Dawn's early hiccups! Her adept use of her tail proved to be a great point of charm and an asset in a fight!Despite maturing greatly with her evolution, Ambipom's capricious personality persisted. After a rousing try at Pokémon Ping Pong, Ambipom found that she adored the sport, and chose, over some conflicting emotions, to leave Dawn's party to continue partaking in the sport under O's guidance.She continued playing Ping Pong for the next year, but something... was wrong. She got very good at the sport; too good. Ambipom became bored. She started using moves during her games to spice it up, and started stacking up fouls.O wasn't sure what to do with her; he eventually called on her trainer Dawn to speak with Ambipom. In an attempt to understand Ambipom's feelings, Dawn entered the next local Ping Pong competition with Empoleon.She played Ambipom's game, and introduced all sorts of flashy moves that Empoleon couldn't have used, before! Dawn had gotten so strong; Ambipom was moved! She hadn't been this thrilled in a long time! She wanted more of this!With a bit of assistance from her first trainer, Ash, Ambipom conveyed to Dawn that she wanted to join her again on her journey; to continue getting stronger!And so, Ambipom accompanied Dawn to Johto, afterwards, polishing her skills as a battler, beyond and conjunction with her pursuits in Pokémon Contests!In the long run, Ambipom nurtured her long-back seated feelings for her first trainer, Ash, after learning that he was open not only to other partners beyond Dawn, but Pokémon, as well. Beyond that, though, she realized she had an eye for more than one, too! She felt particularly attached to Dawn, too, nurturing a flame with both of them . . . and would that set really be complete without her trade partner? Floatzel's in on this, too! They're all a happy little polycule.Ambipom considers herself Ash's Pokémon as well as Dawn's, and happily accompanies and fights on behalf of both. She's adapt at battles and Contests, and also just enjoys going off to do her own thing! She tends to run off a lot, though she at least carries a phone with her, these days, to stay in touch.
She might forget to call, however.She's a bit of a vagrant, always seeking the next thrill or curiosity, wherever. She likes to involve her mate, Floatzel, on her spontaneous adventures!

-Zap Cannon

-Hyper Beam
-Nasty PlotLearned Moves: Psychic, Ice Beam, Foul Play, Magic Coat, Double Team, Discharge, Trick Room, Double Edge, RecycleThis Pokémon was trained by [REDACTED] for cybersecurity breaching, moreso than battle. Though as a partner of Ash's, P-2 enjoys the occasional scrap, and did assist him in perilous situations, several times.Ash nicknamed them P-2, finding Porygon2 to be a terribly clinical and impersonal name for a Pokémon. They like it.Beyond their original classified mission, they spend much of their time in Ash and company's electronic devices. Partially as cybersecurity, but mostly for fun.They have a habit of taking over Ash's Poryphone, and when they find someone particularly annoying to themselves or Ash, will read prompts out loud, suggesting insults for Ash to use on them. Though, by then, the damage has already been done. They're otherwise quite friendly.During the handful of years Ash spent working with [REDACTED], the organization tried to upgrade P-2 for interdimensional travel to further their anticriminal pursuits. Something went wrong, however, evolving them into Porygon-Z. They've gained immense strength, but they've become irregular...!Z, as Ash now calls them, has a habit of glitching and showing strange behavior, and ironically is too tethered to their reality to travel through wormholes or anything similar. On the upside, their unusual body, speed, and power are a force to be reckoned with, with Ash's battle style!

-Night Daze
-Extrasensory
-Nasty Plot
-Foul Play
-Aura Sphere
-DetectLearned Moves: Snarl, Agility, Torment, Taunt, Fake TearsSwyn eventually found comfort and companionship in Ash, which eventually led to new life; that life was Mirage! A shiny Zorua with a positive disposition.Unexpectedly, she was born blind. Swyn was initially quite overprotective of her, since she couldn't see a thing in front of her, though the Zorua proved capable of handling herself. Luckily, she inherited her father's Detect, as well as Extrasensory, which she learned to use as a form of sonar! Bouncing psychic waves off of the world around her, she'd get a sense of her surroundings. Though, she developed a bad habit of chucking obstacles out of her way when she did find them.Introducing her to battles was a bit tricky, but with Ash's coaching, she managed! With her Extrasensory and strong hearing and sense of smell, she can navigate a battle with excellent accuracy. Though, she prefers ranged attacks to physical ones to stay on the safe side. Her favored Foul Play is the lone exception.She also knows Aura Sphere, thanks to Ash's parentage. He's helped her train the move to be easily manipulated to her liking. How handy; a move that can't miss!Without any frame of visual reference, her illusions are unpolished and lack any distinct shape or intention. She doesn't use them in sanctioned battles, although she can attempt them to frighten or disorient a friend or enemy, since the results are usually unshapely or chaotic enough to be unsettling to look at.Ash and Swyn proudly owned their relationship, even to the tabloids, and defended their relationship as one of mutual love and support. Moreover, their little Mirage was their pride and joy! Would anyone dare judge or question her origins, they'd have two terrifying parents to worry about.Mirage mostly went her earlier days oblivious to any controversy, though she discovered the affair once she was old enough to understand it. She doesn't particularly care; what her parents are makes little difference to her. Her Meema and Paapa raised her into the competent and happy little fighter she is, today!She's opted to stay small and cute, after hearing others fawn over her shiny coat and cute appearance, though she herself has never seen it. Factoring this, as well as her small size making her a difficult and tricky target, she chose not to evolve. Dawn crafted her Eviolite sunglasses to accompany her first stage status.

-Thunder WaveLearned Moves: Volt Tackle, Iron Tail, Play Rough, Double Team, Pikapika Thunder +Form Changes: Gigantamax PikachuAfter the downfall of Team Rocket, Pikachu and Lopunny embarked on a personal adventure, after the former's Light Ball had started to lose juice. This time together led them to the decision to start their own family in a new, safer world.That decision led to the hatching of a tiny, plucky Pichu, with unusual markings on his fur, striking pink eyes, and a shocking personality! On that day, Pika was born.Pika shows a striking resemblance to his parents in personality and potential; he boasts his father's penchant for leadership and a bit of a mischievous attitude, while carrying his mother's bloodknight tendencies. In his youth, he learned just how accomplished both of them were in the world, and vowed to emulate the two of them and do their legacies justice. He wanted to be just as strong as them!His appearance seemingly harkens back to older, less domesticated Pikachu from some generations back in time; a genetic throwback much like his father. Unlike Pikachu, his traits are far more visible. Those genetics seemingly drew out the rare occurrence of some Pokémon with mixed parentage resembling both species.He also boasts his mother's pink eyes, as well as her powerful Ice Beam.Pika has spent most of his lifetime growing stronger alongside Ash; strong enough, even, to rival his parents! Though in recent years, he's taken strongly to his trainer's child, DJ; adoring her earnest and mischievous personality, overwhelming tenacity, and even her father's strength. Ash has already accepted, quietly, that Pika will ultimately become her Pokémon, when the time is right.

-Confuse RayLearned Moves: Focus Blast, Livewire, Power Gem, Charge, Eerie Impulse, Fire Punch, Meteor Beam, Iron TailForm Changes: Mega AmpharosAsh, Dawn, and Serena had a wedding borrowing from each of their home regions' traditions; one of those was a Sinnohan tradition, where the newlyweds are gifted a Pokémon egg, as a symbol of the new life they're creating together.
Clemont did the honors of gifting them an egg. That egg was a Mareep.That Mareep was spoiled and loved from the very beginning. Coddled by his doting trainers; fresh and enthralled from their new life; he quickly became spoiled. Luckily, his eagerness to learn their crafts outweighed his laziness!He both enjoys the thrill of battle, and indulgencing in performing dashingly before an adoring crowd. His dancing honed with Serena came in handy, in contests! Dawn's advanced techniques contributed to showcases, as well!Despite his naturally low speed stat, he's quite nimble and limber on the spot. Learning to launch himself with Dragon Pulse was a gift that Ash's Goodra gave him, as well. He also has the unique talent of balancing on the end of his tail, which he can use to skate around once he's set Electric Terrain! His tricky moves and advanced aim made him a surprising menace in Ash's battles. He's a talented sheep!Naturally, he's also very spoiled and vain, and soaks up as much attention as he can. He's not mean-spirited in any way, but he is an attention hog.His fur — and when Mega Evolved, his mane — are exceptionally soft, well-groomed, and glossy. He becomes miffed when his fine coat is dirtied or otherwise ruined — at least, outside battles. That, he wears as temporary, vain battle scars.He'll occasionally feud with Empoleon or Delphox for attention from their trainers, but ultimately, the three are friends with similar mindsets. A small, terrifying clique that, should anyone else trouble them, they'll gang up on you immediately.

Form Changes: Mega BeedrillViridian Forest's Beedrill colony had always been a fearsome presence; bringing terror to many passers by coming through the wooded maze. Though, nothing compared to their presence under their current Queen, who dwarfed any before her. Huge, powerful, and intelligent, she let her prowess get to her head, and ended up instigating a number of territorial conflicts with other Pokémon.Her aggression stoked a number of territorial disputes in Viridian Forest that made it nigh untravelable for humans, and even for some Pokémon!News of the strife eventually came to a family living on the forest's border; the Ketchum-Aniere-Tsumura family. Their estate wasn't far from the chaos, and it was quickly becoming hard to ignore. Ash ventured into the heart of the matter, looking to settle the conflict himself, if possible!He'd scold Beedrill for starting the conflict, and unquestionably defeated her in battle, when she ignored his pleas. Her hubris had caught up with her, and in her defeat, she found a great deal of respect for the man and his allies; to speak so boldly to her and back up his words with strength and skill were admirable acts.At the time, she folded to the rule of 'might makes right;' not quite what Ash had in mind, but for the moment, it would do. She was willingly caught by him.Naturally, with a colony to lead, she couldn't quite leave, and continued to reside at her hive. Over the years, she learned to follow Ash's example, and they've become dear friends. Always a short distance away, she and her trainer reunite often when he's at home. They've even embarked on the rare adventure; one of which led her to a precious Beedrillite. Together, they've unlocked Mega Beedrill!

Technically, they're wild, and lives on her own, and often visits to spend time with Ash and company. The gesture was, more than anything, one born of her trust and loyalty to him, should their Chosen ever require their assistance when the going gets tough!They've developed strong feelings for Ash. Although, few people who see them together are aware of her true identity for the sake of her own safety, excluding their friends and family.

He was surprised by Ash's ability to speak his language, and quickly took to the trainer when he expressed faith in the mouse's dreams!This Pichu has the dream of being able to Surf. Ash promised to train him to do so, if he wanted to partner up with him, which he happily agreed to!Ash chose the name Peach, since it... sounds like Pichu.He's progressed plenty since his capture, and even learned Surf via TM! But, he can surely only get better with time. He eventually wants to master Flash Surf, like Peeks and his son, Pika! He'll have to evolve and hone his skills to do so!Peach is very chipper, enthusiastic, and has a penchant for sweet fruits and treats like his namesake. He'll sit on the counter and eagerly await baked treats that incorporate them while the humans work, or even chip in to help!When Ash departed to the distant past to watch over the Hisui region on behalf of Arceus, he took a newly-caught Peach along for a new and exciting adventure!Peach grew stronger over the months, going from a wide-eyed youth to an experienced mouse, learning much about the world around him. Being in the past was a humbling experience, but an enriching one, where he grew to be a close confidant of his trainer, Ash, and the small circle of Pokémon they befriended!Before their return to the present, Ash had a last battle with his summer flame, Murara. Peach volunteered to battle the woman, having grown close to her over the months! In the process of the emotional battle, Peach felt the weight of her desire for him to thrive, and evolved into a Pikachu on the spot!Later, after learning of Alolan Raichu, he desired to evolve into the variant to surf the skies as well as the waves! A trip to the tropical region allowed him to pig out on plenty of pancakes, and evolve with a Thunder Stone!After winning the annual Pancake Race on Melemele, he was gifted an Alolaraichunium Z, allowing him to perform Stoked Sparksurfer!!He's a champion of the waves, and quite a menace in battle alongside his elders; Pika and Peeks! When that Electric Terrain gets going, watch out, dude!

Though, the relationship ultimately didn't last. Dewott broke the relationship off, but Lapras understood and they've remained friends. Ultimately, Lapras found a longer-lasting love in Pidgeot!Lapras is a dangerous foe in an aquatic field, and a glutton for punishment.

-Aeroblast

-Dragon Rush
-Calm MindLearned moves: Dual Wingbeat, Psychic, Reflect, Light ScreenDecades ago, Lawrence III's meddling with the Orange Archipelago led to complete disruption in the balance of nature; forcing Lugia to awaken and right his wrongs. Lugia required help from the Chosen One, Ash, to collect the orbs of fire, ice, and lightning, to sing their song. With the help of Ash, his friends, and even enemies, Lugia succeeded, calming Zapdos, Moltres, and Articuno. From there, Lugia thanked and befriended Ash, and parted ways for many years.Next, Lugia felt a great disturbance, and sent Melody to invite Ash to Shamouti Island. They aided Ash in preventing the brainwashed Ho-oh from terrorizing Kanto, until their counterpart was freed from Giovanni's evil clutches.In the aftermath of Team Rocket's collapse, Ash was called back to Shamouti. There, Ash convened with Lugia. Having proven himself as their Chosen twice, Lugia wished to be caught by Ash formally. Though they still dwell the seas, they occasionally surface to spend time with the human they've bonded closest to.Lugia is a generally easygoing Pokémon, when there's no danger. Spending most of their time deep in the seas to avoid doing damage to the human world, they're not very familiar with human customs.They enjoy occasional exploration of the surface, where Ash leads their way. They also like to take refuge in the depths of Navel Rock, and on rare occasions, will surface in the caverns when Ash takes on challengers; either watching the battle, or choosing to partake in it on Ash's side, should they stoke their fighting spirit.

Rue became too strong for him to continue his shenanigans, and Dionysus realized with time and maturity that his habit was very inconsiderate to Rue... And kind of weird. He's apologized, since.He's still a fiend for sap and honey, though, so he'll be the first to jump on a fresh batch when Ash brings some home! He's outstandingly good at finding it in trees.

And above all, stubborn. Since her days as a tiny Chikorita, she's garnered a reputation for picking fights above her weight class, and fighting until she drops. Under Ash's leadership, she's grown ever stronger, making her a formidable and infamous heavy-hitter who refuses to lose, until she can no longer fight.She's also intensely affectionate towards Ash; forming a crush on him the day they'd met. Ash became aware of these feelings after she and he had had a falling out over a misunderstanding, where Ash had scolded her too harshly. That day, he acknowledged her feelings, and in his own way, openly reciprocated them.And really, what else did she really need, but his affection?Unfortunately, their time apart while Ash was traveling apart put a fog over her trainer's relationship with romance, leading to poor fortune for Juliet. Ash found a human partner in his friend, Dawn. While Juliet couldn't care less either way about that, she knew humans' penchant for exclusivity. Tearfully, she accepted the tides of change and decided to be grateful she had him as a friend. He even still accepted her Body Slams! Life would move on, and so would she....That was what she told herself, at least. Life continued, and it was fairly pleasant. But, that ache in her heart never quite left. She was forced to admit as much when Ash invited her to compete in the Kalos League, and she was aflutter with the same-old, same-old.But, fortune was kinder to her, that day. Ash asked to speak to her privately, and shared with her his new, unconventional arrangement he'd come to in Kalos. Dawn was still his beloved, and she wasn't alone! But what was most important was that she'd spurred Ash to return to form with Juliet. And Dawn hadn't been alone — Ash's partner, Serena, had arranged his whole confession! His feelings for her hadn't withered; circumstances just hadn't been kind to them. Ash still loved her! This put the wily Bayleef over the moon. All was as it should be!!Beyonds her and Ash's status, Juliet never lost her passion for battling and pushing her limits; making her an incredibly reliable mainstay of the roster. Her strong, sturdy body and use of momentum has netted many victories, and Toxic, Leech Seed, and Aromatherapy allow her to outlast many a foe! Of course, she has alternate paths to victory, like her stamina and brutal physical attacks.Her power exploded to new heights in a deadly battle with Team Rocket's Gozu, as his Mega Aggron perfectly countered her regrettably passive battle style that she was forced to use against a stronger foe. With her and Ash on the brink of death, they simply decided, "No way in hell!" This was not who they were!Juliette's power exploded in earnest, and her and Ash's hearts aligned. Blooming her signature head leaf in greater volume, striking, glowing red eyes, a flowery cape suiting her evolution, and her defiant exterior and bulky body, she embraced her truest self at its greatest; the Bayleef she'd always been, but far, far stronger, and far, far, far more stubborn! She and Ash tapped into the Bond Phenomenon for a Limit-Breaking Miracle! The Grass/Fighting Ash-Bayleef conquered their foe, and became a staple of their bond, forever after! Juliet's raw bulk is unmatched!Not bad for a clumsy romantic!Speaking of romantic... Watch out for her Return.

He helped bolster her confidence, although his aloof ways frustrated her a bit. Ultimately, they end up romantic partners, which they continue to be, to this day.

During one of Project Gensis's expeditions to Area Zero, Gary and Elaine invited Ash to bring two particular Pokémon along. One of them was the big guy, himself!When exposed to the properties of Area Zero, he evolved into a Paradox Pokémon currently identified as Great Tusk! Clemont has pushed for a more dignified name in Kiraidonphan, however. Jack grew massively in size, and an awakening of long-dormant genes stoked his fighting spirit in a big way! He couldn't help but get back into battling with more vigor than ever before. His earth-breaking strikes are rooted in offense — but his tough body is nothing to sneeze at, either!

-Nasty Plot
-Moonblast
-Charm
-Mystical FireLearned Moves: Psychic, Psyshock, Phantom Force, Sunny Day, Draining Kiss, Mean Look, Perish Song, Pain SplitOriginally a lonely spirit of Mt. Silver's snowy peaks and caverns, Beatrice was something of a campy soul. Prone to (usually) harmless pranks, and speaking in outdated theatrics and puns, she could succinctly be called a theater geek.Unfortunately, these habits made her unpopular, thus she was lonely. Her luck had a turn for the better, one fateful day, when she witnessed a human boy training with his Glalie. Eager to play, she snuck up on them and ultimately agreed to a quick battle. It was the most fun she'd had in a long time!Unfortunately, the human was dense to her feelings, and left after the scuffle, thanking her. She was sour, but managed to happen upon him and his Pikachu when they were injured from a battle with Moltres, and guided them to the foot of the mountain. She requested to be caught, then, and Ash happily accepted.Beatrice ended up evolving during the following spring, using a Dusk Stone Ash had won for her. He'd hesitated to push her to evolve, but when Peeks was in peril, she insisted on it to increase her ghostly powers and save her dear friend.Beatrice was the other Pokémon Ash brought to Area Zero at Project Genesis's behest. Her exposure to the mysterious energies in the crater awakened a newfound power in her — an evolution into what some call Flutter Mane!Beatrice found her own love for fighting and deadly trickery after evolving; her new form carries a tremendous amount of power, and the Fairy-type just suits her playful and mischievous nature so well! She's alive — awake! An otherworldly terror! She trains a lot more these days, which has catapulted her in the ranks.Beatrice entertains a happy romantic relationship with Ash's Glalie, and they eventually brought their third wheel, Pagliacci, into the fold. She also enjoys flirting with Ash, bouncing off of an ad-lib joke they'd made about a scandalous affair at her first Indigo League challenge. Despite the obvious absence of any infidelity on either of their ends, she likes the jokes and drama... and, she likes him!

-Draco Meteor

-Fire Punch
-Extreme Speed
-Iron Head
-Thunder WaveLearned Moves: Outrage, Dragon Claw, Hurricane, Hyper BeamShortly into Ash's Champion tenure, he became enthralled with Lance's roster of dragons, befriending them during his mentorship. Lance entertained Ash's enthusiasm by showing him an enigmatic, and difficult-to-reach location that only the Blackthorn Dragon Clan was aware of. Dragonite Island exists far off into Kanto's seas; protected from poachers and passersby with volatile and dangerous weather patterns. One would be hard-pressed to find it alone, or even alive.But with Lance's navigation, he and Ash had the privilege of seeing it firsthand.Dratini, Dragonair, and Dragonite were abound, living peacefully. Many of the Dragonair were in the process of learning flight, though there was one individual who couldn't seem to pull it off.Ash, being himself, felt compelled to befriend Tempest and offered to help them learn to fly. The Pokémon was skeptical of a strange human appearing and offering to help, at first, but through his . . . creative tutoring involving an Electroweb, she saw that Ash's heart and motivations were genuine. (Why else would he willingly subject himself to being shocked, over and over again?)While Lance could have contributed with his own dragon expertise, he allowed Ash to take the reins, as a test of his ability to nurture the power of dragons.
After hours of practice, Tempest successfully learned to fly. In the process, she even learned Dragon Dance!The day was waning, and Ash was content that he'd helped her, stating that she can now fly off with her friends. He said his farewells, ready to leave with Lance. Tempest was endeared to his kind heart and battle ingenuity and wrapped herself around him, stubbornly insisting on accompanying him home. Although Ash put two and two together, Lance went on to explain that she wanted to grow stronger alongside him. Ash gleefully accepted Tempest as part of his team.Tempest trained diligently with the trainer she only later found out was a newly-crowned Champion, excelling with Lance and his own army of dragons assisting. Some months later, she evolved into a full-fledged Dragonite. She quickly climbed Ash's ranks as an indomitable threat.Aside from her drive and excitement for strength and a good fight, Tempest adores flying freely through the skies, and enjoys taking Ash for rides; it reminds her of the fact that he helped nurture her ability to in the first place.She's also openly affectionate and is prone to giving crushing hugs, for Ash or anyone else, alike.Lance deduced that her Multiscale ability had been the culprit for difficulty in flight; heavier, frequently recycled scales that act as armor provided extra weight and threw off her sense of balance. In due time, however, the ability became one of her most terrifying assets. An essentially free use of Dragon Dance — if Ash's Counter Shield variation doesn't provide a second freebie — combined with her Weakness Policy makes her a foe that few would want to face.

After their efforts to save the Soul Drew, her brother Latios tragically gave his life for the good cause. She parted with Ash for the time being, looking over the Soul Dew as a new generation of Latios and Latias appeared to defend it.Roughly seven years later, Latias came across an older, weary-looking Ash, touring Johto on foot. Immediately concerned, she followed him. She learned of the emotional burdens he was carrying, and the pilgrimage he'd been sent on. She immediately opted to join him and ease his anguish. Moreover, her feelings for him hadn't dwindled. Although that wasn't their priority, at the moment.On their way to Mt. Tensei, Latias' intuition led her to pursue a familiar energy; Ash saw her drive and agreed to help her, first. They came across Latiasite eventually, allowing her to Mega Evolve. She returned the favor by accompanying him to Mt. Tensei. After meeting Ho-oh, she offered to be his Pokémon, and more concretely professed her heart to him. After their shared time together and her unending support, Ash reciprocated in full!She began accompanying Ash on his G-Men missions to end the Rocket threat, and often accompanied him to events in Dawn and Serena's absence.Latias was still one to wander the skies, now and then, as she's very much a traveler at heart, and likes to seek inspiration as an artist, so she gifted Ash with the Eon Flute. He's free to call for her at any time, when she's needed.Latias has taken on the name Critias to distinguish herself from Bianca, especially when wearing her favored human guise to remain innocuous.

Tensei. But, those weren't the only gifts the Rainbow Pokémon bestowed upon Ash during his pilgrimage.Third, was a young and playful Eevee.She insisted on following Ash no matter where he meant. He feared her being hurt by association with him, and tried to leave her behind. She persisted.A day came where he trekked through the Ice Path, north of Blackthorn. Eevee found the Icy Stone, wishing to play around it. Ash tried to plead Eevee not to do this so carelessly, knowing that she'd likely evolve without getting to make that decision for herself. There, he learned something he very much needed to process — that he can't control everything. He learned to let go, and left Eevee alone.This, ironically enough, made Eevee become bored with the Icy Rock, and she abandoned it. After this, Ash caught Eevee, and accepted her as his partner.Once he reached Mt. Tensei's peak in the early morning, Eevee evolved into Espeon. She agreed to continue staying by his side, and fight alongside him against Team Rocket. Although, she knew little of the threat she'd be facing.Keshet is a rude, difficult, and mischievous Pokémon who amuses herself by annoying others and making jokes. Although not malicious, she is something of a self-described jackass. Her antics stop short of doing actual harm.She describes crossing that line as "pretty fucked up."She's internet savvy, enjoys keeping up with the current memes and trends, and actually has a tablet with photo and video editing software installed for just that.She has something of a faux-rivalry with Pikachu; the two often bother each other and act overly antagonistic online. That part is just an act for their amusement. That said, she's intensely loyal to him, Ash, and the rest of their big family when the chips are down. She can, would, and has risked her own well-being and even her life to protect Ash, if necessary. This was how her forehead gem got shattered.She went months without proper Psychic-powers while it regenerated; a state of vulnerability she hated, but didn't regret in the least.Keshet was once in a committed relationship with a female Delcatty who's trained by a Pokémon Coordinator. Though, that flame didn't last, she spontaneously found herself nursing feelings for Serena's bratty Sylveon, Mab.Arceus help her.She hates the names of the Partner Eevee moves, named by Ash's daughter Elaine's friend, Chase. She occasionally pesters him to change them to be cooler. Mab finally came to the rescue, being Keshet's consult on renaming the moves to sound cooler. With some dynamite names on Mab's part, they forwarded the request to the Pokémon League, and finally got them changed!Keshet was named by Dawn; her name is the Hebrew word for rainbow.

-Sky DropLearned moves: Earthquake, Scorching Sands, Charge Beam, FacadeOn the very first day of their journey, Ash and Pikachu saw a mysterious Pokémon cross the rainbow. Little did they know, that being would go on to oversee their milestones for many years to come. In reality, it was the legendary Ho-oh.After his adventures in Johto, Kanto's Battle Frontier, and Sinnoh, they would spark Ash's deeply-held love for adventure, and spur him onward. Curiously, as Ash journeyed into the western regions, Ho-oh was largely absent.This would only change in Ash's young adulthood, when his courage and spirit were wounded by Team Rocket's nefarious deeds. Ho-oh appeared to Ash in a dream, blessing him with the vision of a mountain range touched by a rainbow.Finding a Rainbow Wing when he awoke, Ash soon discovered the mountain range he saw to be the Raizen Mountains. Seeing little other course of action in his current state, Ash took a pilgrimage to Mt. Tensei; a summit told of in legends to be the birthplace of the Rainbow Hero, seeking answers to his troubles.Ash eventually did find Ho-oh at its peak, who spurred him to stand strong against obstacles to peace, and gave Ash newfound resolve to stand against Team Rocket. If he could fulfill his fated duties, and further unite people and Pokémon, Ho-oh would recognize Ash as the Rainbow Hero, himself.Ash would go on to do so, ultimately leading to Team Rocket's last stand, which involved capturing and brainwashing Ho-oh and their trio of beasts to do their bidding. With the help of Ash and many of his allies, they were freed from his evil grasp, but the arrogant act of enslaving Ho-oh drove them to fury.A fury only Ash's golden heart could soothe. He swore that humanity would continue to do better. Ultimately, Ash had proven himself; he'd gathered all sorts of allies to fight for the good of people and Pokémon, thanks to his ability to build connections, far and wide. Ho-oh ultimately took his word, and retreated to rest.Weeks later, in Ecruteak, Ash was given a coronation ceremony to formally recognize him as the Rainbow Hero, where he and Pikachu battled Ho-oh for the entire city to see with their own eyes. They ultimately triumphed, and by Ho-oh's own instructions, Ash successfully captured them. He was worthy of their power.Quietly, on a different day, Ho-oh entrusted Ash with several more gifts; a seal on the back of his left hand. It would guard him from corruption of both the body and mind; a blessing against poisons and spiritual manipulation alike. With it, he could call on Ho-oh and the three beasts for their aid, should he ever need it.Greater than all of those, perhaps, was Ho-oh sharing their personal opinion that Ash had achieved exactly what he'd sought, the day they'd first witnessed him; he'd made many great strides in meeting and befriending Pokémon, and perhaps understanding their hearts better than anyone. He was a man who would go to any lengths for these magical creatures, and had the talent and resolve to back up his convictions. In their eyes, he had become a Pokémon Master.Ho-oh still roams freely as gods are wont to do; something Ash understands and accepts. But, there have been many occasions where the two have reunited, to battle, or simply to bond and catch up with one another.Another one of Ho-oh's roosting points is Navel Rock; the summit of which Ash ultimately designated for some of his fiercest battles as a Frontier Brain. The phoenix will appear before his challengers who they judge to be pure of heart; either to simply observe, or join the battle on Ash's side, themselves.Perhaps, one day, they'll find another Rainbow Hero this way, to carry on Ash's legacy. For now, they're content to accompany only the boy who they'd once seen throw himself at a flock of Spearow, who before their very eyes, was now a man.

They battled over the honor to capture him, but Misty defeated Nero with her Politoed. Though, Clawitzer volunteered to help Nero and Ash's other team members train, regardless, much to Misty's dismay.Clawitzer is equally capricious, if not moreso, and Ash often ends up sending Crawdaunt over to Misty for her to get her way.

He put up a fierce fight, prompting Ash to catch him.Draco was something of a wild Pokémon; aside from the literal sense, he was rather anti-social when caught, and tended to get into fights rather easily.He quickly became fond of Torkoal, though.Despite some earlier feuds over his behavior with the likes of Ash and Pikachu, Draco learned to adapt to his team with time.He favors Fire-type attacks, despite initially knowing only two. His Dragon Dance has made him a major threat, allowing him to attack quickly and ferociously.Draco, when he's fond of someone like his trainer, can be quite playful and affectionate. If you're not his favorite, though, he still tends to be very rude and blunt, if he doesn't blatantly threaten to eat you.He's stoked a hobby of gardening on the Ketchum-Tsumura-Ainere estate, growing berries and... recreational plants. He's a major supply of the family's berries, and has even been gifted with a greenhouse for optimal care for his crops!

With his large, imposing presence, he's quick to sort out issues despite his gentle demeanor.He initially struggled with battling with his new size and weight, throughout his time in the Sinnoh region with Ash. During Ash's subsequent journey through Kanto, he discovered an answer to Kenorland's weaknesses, and they've shaped a new battle style together centering his ability to shape the earth.Later in life, though his options expanded again. Rock Polish gave him a lot of his youthful speed back, but Shell Smash did the job even better; he can shed some of his shell's weight and bulk, allowing him more speed and flexibility!And, that's to say nothing about the benefits of Dynamax. Battles in Galar turn Kenorland into an unstoppable force.

-ReversalLearned Moves: Extreme Speed, Sacred Sword, Bone Rush, Copycat, Heal Pulse +Form Changes: Mega Lucario, Aura Bond Lucario, Mega Bond LucarioAfter Ash's Sinnoh journey, Riley requested his audience to train him as an Aura Guardian, after feeling his presence during his time on Iron Island. More importantly, though, he felt a response to him from a mysterious dormant egg.A Riolu egg had come into Riley's possession after cycling many hands, but never hatching. It only showed signs of life after over a year, with Ash nearby. It was entrusted to him, and he was bonded to it immediately.This egg gave birth to the one known as Rosemary. A baby, spunky Riolu with a lot of peculiarities, and a bloodknight persona, even in her most immature stages. Ash raised little Rosa like she was his own. As far as they were concerned, she was.Months of peculiarities led to her evolution, and the discovery of her origins; at the Tree of Beginning, she unearthed memories of a former life. She was the reincarnation of Sir Aaron's Lucario! Fated to meet with Ash in another life, after he'd passed on properly, roughly two years prior. She's carried his memories ever since, feeling more than ever bound to Ash as his partner in being Aura Guardians.Rosa carries a legacy, and her past self's strong penchant for justice, but continues to exist as an individual in her own right. In comparison, she's far less stern and formal; a bubbly jock, with some valley girl mannerisms, and a flirtatious bend that might give Brock a run for his money. In fact, Ash and company swear that he must've been an influence on her! . . . Not that her Papa can talk, either.Rosa's Justified ability leads her to find evil intolerable, and she becomes unpleasantly attuned to dark intentions when they're nearby, inclining her to beat evildoers to a pulp. Unlike her trainer, she has few reservations with taking an evildoer's life; hearing ill intentions and devaluing of life acutely has left her numb to it. Though, with her strong sense of justice comes a sense of mercy, and she'll usually tell less evil wrongdoers to turn over a new leaf and get lost.Rosa is on the autistic spectrum, much like her trainer, though her symptoms are different from his, and sometimes far more acute. She has peculiarities with food, and is prone to feeling overstimulated by crowds and excess noise & sensed stress.This made Mega Evolving impractical for her, after she'd trained herself to tune out outside stimuli to cope, and Mega Lucario's Aura doubling down on that hyperfocusing. Rosa found herself unable to acknowledge any stimuli at all. She abandoned the effort for the time being, overcome with embarrassment.She resolved this years down the line, after starting her Aura training from scratch with Riley, and adjusting to external stimuli with exposure therapy. She re-attempted Mega Evolution under the new Guru, Korrina!Before mastering Mega Evolution, in her early bitter stages, she was tutored by Ash-Greninja in a rough imitation of the Bond Phenomenon; more acutely synchronizing her Aura with Ash's, for greater closeness with her trainer, and greater heights of strength. She can combine this with Mega Evolution, creating a stage that's comparable in power to the Bond Phenomenon, itself. With this piled on her many efforts, Rosa is one of Ash's most powerful & reliable partners.Rosa's also taken interest in medieval and political history due to her connection to Rota, and has studied the past extensively; even receiving a PhD in the History of Monarchies. She gathered much attention as one of the first Pokémon to recieve a formal degree, and encouraged many more to pursue an education.Speaking of education! Her degree gave her a motivation to seek employment and start her own life away from her trainer. She applied to Paldea's Academy as a Professor in Historical Studies. Given her qualifications, reputation, and the school's evolving policies of trying to bury past problems and prejudices, they're candid to hire her as one of their Pokémon Professors.This also provided an opportunity for her to move her life forward in another way; Rosemary decided to take her relationship with Ash's Cinderace, Zophia, to a more serious stage, and she asks for the other's paw in marriage!Zophia happily and wholeheartedly accepted her proposal, and agreed to move to Mesagoza with her. The Cinderace applied to be a coach on the Naranja Academy's Futbol team, and also got the job. They took a new last name to distinguish themselves from their trainer; Lohta; an old pronounciation of Rosemary's beloved home kingdom, Rota. Now, they share a two-story flat in Mesagoza as newly and happily wedded wives, with new friends and new goals!

You should be grateful, desho!Shaymin was torn from her ordinary life by a storm of fury born between two Gods, whose wrath she was pulled into by happenstance. That big old mean Giratina even tried to eat her, for crying out loud!. . . Okay, so he hadn't, actually. But Shaymin had convinced herself of such, by the time she landed in the laps of Dawn, Ash, and Brock. The trio of humans were gracious enough to help her find her way to the Gracidea fields. As they should be!Trials, perils, laughter, and tears awaited Shaymin and her new friends. That Ash in particular got on her nerves, but Dawn on the other hand was very grateful for her presence! It caused Shaymin to play favorites, but ultimately, Ash endeared himself to her, too. Through plenty of bickering, they became great friends!It was difficult for Shaymin to leave, but nature is as nature does. She was swept up on the winds at Gracidea fields, rejoining her colony to spread gratitude across the lovely Sinnoh region. That was just what Shaymin did by nature.Of course, she never forgot those humans. One day in the distant future; perhaps around an entire decade later; Shaymin managed to come across Dawn, when the Coordinator was busy with her run through university. She'd missed her so much!!There was no reason not to stay at Dawn's side. Shaymin had done her part in spreading her joy across Sinnoh. If anyone deserved her presence, it was Dawn!. . . And of course, seeing Dawn meant seeing Ash, eventually. She'd thrown herself into the man's arms as soon as they reunited. She was . . . grateful. It felt like it'd been an eternity. Couldn't she belong to both he and Dawn? Wasn't that possible?As it turns out, it is! Shaymin is registered to both her best friend, and her favorite lughead. After the horrid experience of facing Zero and his machinations, they aspired to strength, so that they would never risk being eaten—. . . Ahem. Never risk being defeated again. They became strong over the years; an inspiration for all Shaymin! Of course she could lend Dawn and Ash her power!Shaymin enjoys competing in Contests, too. Being adored and appreciated by thousands of fans? It was perfectly suiting for a mythical Pokémon like her!Shaymin tends to go by female pronouns in their Land Forme, and male pronouns in their sky form. Although "they" is also acceptable for them in any state.

-Hone ClawsLearned Moves: Focus Blast, Pursuit, Nasty Plot, Scary Face, U-TurnAlternate Forms: Mega ZoroarkBorn to her Zoroark pack's leader, Swyn was saddled with great expectations from birth. Though, she often shirked them, preferring to play and socialize, rather than following the strict customs set upon her. She was raised and trained for greatness, but ultimately fell out of her pack's favor when she had a child with another Zoroark her parents hadn't approved of; Miraj. Miraj stood by Swyn without her pack's support, but ultimately died saving her and her cub from a Sawsbuck stampede. From then forth, she lived in the wild with her cub, Rura.She provided and hunted for him without rest, often giving the majority of their food to him to the point of near-starvation. She lived as Meema, and only Meema.Rura was stolen by a Pokémon Hunter roughly a year later, and Meema was aided in his rescue by two humans and their Pokémon; Ash & Dawn.With Rura's clever persuasion, Meema agreed for the two of them to be caught by the trainers, entrusting Ash with her care and Dawn with Rura's; deciding they were her new pack. She would protect and nurture them as Meema; a role they'd inadvertently given her, not knowing that it's Zorua slang for 'Mom.'Swyn traditionally had very low self-esteem from her past experiences, and deferred to others to an unhealthy degree. It's a mentality that Ash and her wider new pack have encouraged her to drop, and to value and care for herself.Over time, she's recovered emotionally, as well as physically, far more healthy than she'd ever been. Although she's a bit short due to early malnutrition, she boasts a comfortable life, and an absurd amount of strength brought out with Ash's partnership. She's boasted a record of being able to tussle with multiple minor legendary Pokémon at once without falling behind!Swyn often speaks in an odd amalgamation of feral and overly formal speech, often unsettling others without meaning to. Her understanding of wider social norms used to be very poor due to her isolation, but she's caught up over time.In addition to Rura, Swyn goes on to mother a spontaneous new life in Mirage, along with Ash as the father. Later, she also takes in Ruse in Hisui as her own.

She's sensitive and averse to conflict, but prideful in battle; a bit of a funny, contradictory package! She's also a tad forgetful as her evolutionary line tends to be. All-in-all, Ash finds her endearing, and is happy to accommodate her when he has to!Conveniently, the mental link they share helps keep her on track. They've found through it, too, that they share a somewhat short and chaotic attention span.Boasting the same Super Luck ability as Trip's male Unfezant, She's an expert sharpshooter in the air, specializing in ranged attacks that often result in critical hits. This contrasts with Iris's Archeops, who prefers close-quarter attacks, sparking a rivlary between them!Hato started to wear a Scope Lens during Ash's first Unova journey, which assisted her in landing critical hits! She's worn those lenses ever since, and they occasionally receeive aesthetic upgrades from her trainer's handy wives!

-Aerial Ace
-Encore
-Swords DanceLearned Moves: Water Pledge, Sacred Sword, Blizzard, Taunt, Encore, Air Slash, RevengeOriginally a petulant Oshawott with plenty of bravado but little backbone, Dewott followed Ash to join his team after witnessing his kindness firsthand.He was spoiled and selfish, often stealing food from his teammates, or taking their place in battle, unless he found an opponent too strong for him.Though, with time, he saw the consequences of his single-mindedness, and evolved to stand by his teammates; both literally, and in character!Dewott is now a proud and stern warrior who follows the battle style and mannerisms of eastern Samurai, striking fiercely only at the most critical moment. His training with Keldeo allowed him to learn Sacred Sword, and gave him greater pride in his craft. Though, that hasn't stopped him from being a tremendous simp.He had a habit of chasing after every pretty Pokémon his eyes landed on, culminating in successfully courting Ash's Lapras after his Unova journey, much to everyone's shock. They had a fairly healthy relationship, though Dewott discovered that he batted for the other team, so to speak, and found an excuse to break the relationship off on good terms. He's gone on to date that male Purrloin he and Meowth had chased after, in Unova! Though, his ways haven't TRULY changed . . . he still has eyes for quite a few others. With permission, of course....Oh, but that's not all! That was all the Dewott you thought you knew.Curious that Ash was urged to bring him along to Hisui, along with Rowsy. Ash himself wasn't sure why... until a particularly difficult battle with a very powerful Alpha Pokémon made all of Dewott's straightforward, honorable charges null. How could he defend the Survey and Security Corps like that? What was an earnest Samurai to even do? The answer, it seemed, was to shed his ways.Dewott evolved on the spot into Samurott! The mysterious Hisuian variant, at that, with a very different approach to conflict. What good did straightforward chivalry do, when there were better ways to secure victory and safety?Samurott discarded his favorite move, Razor Shell, for the ranged and practical Aqua Cutter; trading one signature move for another in the lethal Ceaseless Edge.I mean, the name speaks for itself, doesn't it?Samurott adopted underhanded tactics like Taunt and Encore, befuddling opponents, barraging them with long-range moves and field hazards, in exchange for his original cool and romantic approach. Of course, that isn't to say he's lost his good heart. He's just edgy... Very edgy. It's simply practical.Ash gifted him a Mystic Water he'd received from Misty early into their journey!

-Stored PowerLearned Moves: Hypnosis, Dream Eater, Calm Mind, Magic Coat, Yawn, Rock Tomb, Psychic, TeleportOn one odd day in the Dreamyard, a lone Munna was abducted by a couple of strange men in mysterious gear, only to be handed off to a couple of other strange individuals in eccentric garbs... Only to be kicked and abused! They were after her Dream Mist, they said! With no concern for her well-being at all!To say that Munna was unhappy was an understatement, but luckily, a hero came to her rescue! A young man in a baseball cap charged her captors, and attacked them with his bare hands! He had his own Pokémon present, but he jumped into action, regardless! With a bit of battling and fisticuffs, he disarmed the evildoers.The heroic stranger's name was Ash. He'd taken her to the Pokémon Center, along with his friends, and wished her well. During her stay overnight, she grew curious, and lingered by Ash as he slept. She had to wonder what his dreams tasted like...As Munna did, she feasted. And, wow! The purity of his aims; the heights they reached! He wanted to be the world's greatest Pokémon Master — a trainer who understood and befriended Pokémon unlike any other! They were so positive; so sweet; his yearning so strong! His dreams were delicious. She was more enamored with this scrappy hero than ever before. So, she quietly followed him, the next day.She saw him in action at the Striaton Gym, and got to witness the fruition of his optimism! He was skilled, he was sharp, he was thoughtful of his team! The little tapir had seen enough. After he won his badge, she offered to join his team!Ash asked her through his Pikachu, somehow, if she had a name. If she had, she'd paid it no mind. The Dreamyard was a strange place; borderline desolate, after a strange disaster she'd heard whispers of. Pokémon existed there, but they were scarce. She simply existed, having no need to be addressed.So, Ash named her Yume — the word for "dream," in the region that he was from.Yume likes to feast on thoughts and dreams. While Ash was her favorite, she lingered toward other members of the group, as well. She adored Iris's. For some reason, something about Cilan repelled her. He practically reeked of clouded thoughts and indecision, despite his enthusiasm and flavorful cooking.She even took to Ash's peacemaking habits, and started quelling conflicts by eating the thoughts and dreams of those involved with spats! It was a quick and easy way to calm her friends down, and get a snack in one go!Her time on the team was intermittent; Ash caught many friends in Unova, so she was on and off of the team. It admittedly limited her chances to grow stronger. While she'd started indifferent to the idea, feasting on Ash nurtured a competitive spirit in her. However, that wasn't the only thing she picked up from him...A strange happening in Eindoak Town caused a change in Ash. Apart from meeting the mysterious Victini, Ash temporarily became the Hero of Ideals. Zekrom had embued him with the dreams and ideals of thousands...! Ash's mind was visited and clouded by more sentiments than he'd ever know what to do with. It burdened her trainer, leaving him fatigued and confused. That wouldn't do!By his request, Yume started feeding on his dreams more often. It was a veritable buffet of hopes and beliefs that people wanted to see come to fruition. For the time being, she was well-fed, and Ash seemed more clear-headed.But, such a habit had its excesses. Over the months, something seemed... different about Ash. His unquenchable desire for victory and his indomitable sense of justice both dulled. Neither disappeared, naturally, but the will and faith behind them lacked its punch. Perhaps it was Team Plasma looming over his head, and leaving him confused. Perphaps it was Reina giving their trainer the cold shoulder. Perhaps it was Iris struggling with her Hydreigon, too.Whatever it might have been, she was watching her trainer wither, and her other friends struggle; no matter how much she'd tried to feed off Hydreigon's intensity, being a Dark-type, he was immune to her. She, herself, had nursed a strong sense of justice, and a need to help her friends. In her confusion, after the Junior Cup, she wandered off, following her instincts. She sought a Moon Stone.Eventually, Ash caught up to Yume, along with his girlfriend, Dawn, and the Elite Four's Caitlin. Caitlin explained just what was happening to Ash — that in feeding excessively on his dreams, Yume was sapping away his spirit, and ironically, his desire for his dreams. In her attempts to help Ash, she was hurting him!Moreover, Ash preached to her, she was shouldering the burdens of the group alone! That was a bad habit of his that she'd taken on; something Dawn could attest to. It was okay for Ash to hurt, as long as he had his friends. His feelings were his to feel freely. She couldn't shoulder that all on her own.Ash pledged to topple their challenges, and their friends' problems together. She needn't run off without him. They would reach their dreams together!With this new understanding, Musharna used the Moon Stone to evolve into Musharna. To her delight and relief, Iris and Hydreigon had resolved their problems without her, with the help of Cilan and the Sinnoh Champion Cynthia.Yume and Ash fought together in the finale of their Gym Battle with Iris! She faced Hydreigon with her newly learned Moonlight and Moonblast! A stark and intimidating match-up couldn't stand up to the combined might of she and Ash!Yume's next moment of truth came at the Vertress Conference... Or rather, away from it. Ash faced the King of Team Plasma, N, in the final round. In the face of the unstoppable Dragon of Truth, though, he buckled on his ideals. He regrettably sent his Unova Pokémon home, and called on his old friends for the fight.Dejected as they were, she and the rest of the Unova team watched the battle from Professor Juniper's Lab. Ash's other Pokémon were strong; she recognized them from his many dreams. She understood Ash; she felt their bonds, and his faith in them. They'd been through world shaping events, together.And yet, it wasn't enough. Ash had failed to practice what he'd preached to Yume, and he'd made this decision unilaterally. When N exposed him for this, he crumbled. He didn't stand a chance. It was clear he wouldn't save Unova, today.So, Munna took her efforts to her companions; or rather, one companion. The icy Reina, who'd shunned Ash for his faltering leadership, was watching him lose with what she thought would be vindication. Instead, she felt pity.The mighty Charizard fought, even after Ash had given up. Yume took it upon herself to share Ash's history of Charizard with Reina. At one point, the titan of fire was just like her. He'd lost respect for Ash's leadership, and abdicated his place at his side. The same Flame who fought for him explosively, now, tooth and nail.This new context spurred Reina to rally their friends to support Ash, at any cost; an aptly timed move, as Juniper sent them to the Vertress Conference shortly afterward, at Iris's request, to comfort Ash after his devastating loss.Ash begged for their forgiveness, hoping to gather the pieces and start from scratch. He worried he'd lost their respect and their love. That was where Yume came in. She fed him the dreams of each of his partners before him!Each and every one of them dreamt of success at his side. Ash tearfully accepted their forgiveness, and regrouped to challenge the King of Team Plasma, together!Yume continues to live with Ash and serve him loyally, alongside their many allies. She still likes to snack on dreams — and what a smorgasbord she has, with their large found family! It's all the motivation she needs to keep getting stronger!

-Giga DrainLearned Moves: Leaf Blade, Grass Pledge, Tera Blast, Draco Meteor, Attract, Wring OutReina has always been an enigmatic Pokémon with an enigmatic past. She left multiple trainers behind, disappointed in both a lack of skill, and more importantly, a lack of love. She intended to stay wild after several poor experiences, truly, until she met Ash. A trainer who was both remarkable in his persistence, and remarkable in his kindness towards his partners. Reina ultimately lost to him and was caught, but she did so with a smile on her face.She consistently showed herself to be the most mature Pokémon in the group, alongside Peeks; often sorting out conflicts with little trouble, and little patience for nonsense. It'd get her into frequent spats with Iris's Emolga for her trickery. Though, that eventually sparked an initially reluctant romance.Ash learned several Gyms in that her ability was Contrary; or at least, he finally learned what the ability was. A rare, Hidden Ability that she was coveted for, paired with her ability to use Leaf Storm. Once Ash came to understand this, he made plenty of use of the combination, but it meant the world to Serperior that him pursuing her had everything to do with her tenacity, and nothing to do with his interest in her inherent battle traits. In her eyes, he'd earned Contrary's use.But, her prickly judgment didn't quite end there. After Ash witnessed N's partnership with Reshiram at Dragonspiral Tower, Reina began to spot the cracks in her trainer's normally steadfast personality. In fear of Reshiram's raw power and the responsibility of matching it, Ash failed to have faith in his Pokémon, although he would have never admitted it. Reina lost respect for him, and would often disobey his commands. Though, unlike her former trainers, she didn't leave him. She held faith that the trainer she loved and respected would return with time, and stuck by his side, until then. After Ash's catastrophic loss to N in the Vertress Conference, he awoke to his foolishness, and asked his team for forgiveness. He got smacked with her vine for even suggesting that they wouldn't.Reina has remained steadfast alongside her trainer, since, and has grown into being one of his most formidable and reliable Pokémon. With a regal disposition channeled through her Glare, the enrapturing charm of her Attract, and her ever-strengthening Leaf Storm, she's a mighty foe who's brought down entire teams.She also took insterest in Ash's Sceptile, witnessing his cool composure and remarkable skills, but also, the fragile and hurting heart beneath that veneer. They share a healthy relationship, along with a flighty and flirty Emolga.

He started a whole fuss with his entry to the group, but he's always meant well. He became fast friends with Iris's Axew in particular, as they were both the babies of the group, who would often train together!The two ended up evolving together, and being the stars of Ash's Gym Battle with Iris; to go from just a baby to fighting a powerful Haxorus was quite a feat!Lance has typically suffered from 'big fish in a small pond syndrome.' He continued picking fights and butting heads back at Oak's laboratory, until he learned just out of his depth he really was. But, this ultimately served as inspiration for he and Ash to continue to grow stronger!

Even after being taken out of that small pond, though, he very much enjoyed the world of battling and adapted quickly with Ash as his trainer. Even with the rotating nature of the large Unova team, he didn't quite mind his role, even when questioned by N about being taken from his home turf to live at the lab and occasionally join Ash's team to battle with him.During their adventures, he evolved during a difficult battle into the overwhelming Seismitoad, where his domineering, overpowering nature returned in full force! His attacks are as quick and successive as they are devastating!He still considers himself a bigshot, back at the lab, and tends to garner some loyalty from the other Water-types due to his strong leadership qualities.

-ThunderLearned Moves: Dragon Dance, Outrage, Imprison, Draco MeteorZekrom appeared to Ash on the day he entered Unova, immediately striking down Pikachu and robbing him of his strength as a test of their determination and ideals. Afterwards, they retired to rest for the next upcoming battle of heroes.This happened to be at the Kingdom of Vale, where Damien tried to channel the Dragon Force by awakening Reshiram. Ash pleaded to the Dark Stone, professing to want to free Victini and fulfill his wish of traveling to the sea. Zekrom honored his clear ideals and agreed to help him. After the Dragon Force was dispersed into space, Zekrom and Reshiram returned to their slumber; scattering to different parts of Unova, where Zekrom would wait on yet another clash between heroes.Ash found the Dark Stone a second time, hoping to call Zekrom to help him stop Team Plasma. However, by then, his ideals were clouded by fear and doubts. Zekrom refused to leave their shell, completely unresponsive to Ash.After regaining his ideals and fighting spirit, Ash challenged N at his castle. He'd been reminded of his most sincerely held beliefs; that humans and Pokémon were meant to live and fight side-by-side, and that they could accomplish anything together, as long as they loved and believed in one another. Zekrom acknowledged the change in N's throne room, and appeared before Ash in a torrent of lightning.Ash's entire team did their best to work as a group and bring Zekrom down; all of their work culminated into the efforts of a fully powered Pikachu, fighting with all his might. Although Pikachu lacked the power to defeat them, Zekrom approved of their efforts, and they were caught willingly.After helping Ash defeat N, and Ghetsis' downfall, Zekrom held no further purpose for likely the next couple of centuries. They pledged themselves to serve Ash's Ideals and fight alongside him for his remaining lifetime.Thus, they followed Ash through the Delacora Islands, and with a new adventure on the horizon, she pledged to protect his home of Pallet Town in his absence.Zekrom was the spark for Ash-Pikachu; they lent their services to Ash in wanting to prepare for the Pokemon World Tournament, respecting his resolve.Their might pushed the anomaly of Pikachu's Battle Bond to happen. They saw it as the ultimate manifestation of the duo's ideals.After the World Tournament, Zekrom processed the rarity of a Hero that lives as long as Ash does. Being bonded to each of their human partners over centuries, they chose to spend Ash's remaining decades with him.

-Rock SmashLearned Moves: Flash Cannon, Rock Tomb, Toxic, Smack DownIn 2005, rumors spread around the Unova region of a rare, beautiful blue cluster of gemstones, somewhere in the heart of Twist Mountain. That hearsay attracted hikers, treasure hunters, and trainers alike, in search of treasure, or possibly a very rare Pokémon. The mountain became a tourist target, but little did everyone know, that their excitement would be a disturbance to their very prize.Gigalith grew tired of being pursued for selfish reasons. They began retaliating against pursuers; setting dangerous obstacles that ended up leaving some injured in the process. Rumors of those perils began to spread, as well.But, a handful of adventurers in particular were excited by the challenge and the peril. A young man, his Pikachu, and a strange mythical comrade pursued the supposed treasure, and tackled every path and peril thrown their way!They were strong, undoubtedly. But the one thing that caught Gigalith's eye was that, when presented with the choice of cornering them and saving their companions, the man and his Pokémon all came to each other's aid without a second thought; any ambitions were thrown aside for their love for one another!This earned the wild Gigalith's respect, and she told the adventurers her tale. They sympathized with her, and expressed that they had no wishes to take her with them against her will. They were all bound by their Ideals; the hope for a world where humans and Pokémon live in harmony and share their freedom!The mythical Victini, even, was here today because the Hero of Ideals had made it his mission to unbound him from his prison and bring him to the sea!Alldyn was moved, and agreed to accompany the Hero of Ideals, if he could defeat her in battle. She was a very tough opponent; perhaps the strongest on Twist Mountain from all of her trials. But Ash and Victini prevailed!Alldyn happily accepted her capture, and has sworn her loyalty to their party. Alongside Ash Ketchum, she swore to become even stronger alongside him!Alldyn is stalwart, stubborn, resourceful, and very intelligent. Her reputation as Twist Mountain's strongest has its merit, and she continues to employ the same strategic and ruthless tactics from her home under Ash's guidance.

-Bolt StrikeLearned Moves: Celebrate, Stored Power, Focus Blast, ProtectHoudini befriended Ash in Eindoak Town, where a mistake in a spell committed by Houdini late friend, the former King, trapped him within the castle grounds for centuries. Learning of his fate, Ash vowed to free Houdini and take him to the sea.Ash and Houdini ultimately succeeded with the help of Zekrom and Reshiram, and reluctantly parted ways after establishing a close bond during their adventure.Several years later, Victini's adventures united him by chance with the Hero of Ideals who'd freed him. Ash was back in Unova, with his own mission to fulfill!Though years feel miniscule to a Pokémon who live for millennia, Houdini had missed Ash's company. He asked him to accompany him on a treasure hunt!The hunt brought them to Twist Mountain, where they explored it from top to bottom, gathering treasure, meeting new friends, and finally finding the goal they'd been searching for — not a treasure chest, but a powerful shiny Gigalith!Through battle and trials of character, Houdini, Ash, and Peeks won the Gigalith's respect, and won her over as an ally, to boot! Talk about a haul!Moreover, the Victory Star had just... had so much fun!! Traveling with Ash had been a joy. He wanted more of that! So on that day, he asked to join Ash's team.He even assisted Ash in becoming Champion of the Indigo League! But not before learning to value sportsmanship and vowing not to cheat Ash to victory, of course.Victini still travels the world for his own sake, though he takes care to check in at home and stay in contact with Ash. He has a small carrying bag that he takes with him that contains a phone, built for ease of access for small Pokémon.Victini is easily spooked and shy; quick to vanish into thin air when he's frightened. Though an easy draw for him is sweets. Macaroons in particular will bait him out of hiding. He's awfully fond of Serena for baking them regularly... and just for being a good adoptive mama!He's come to see Ash as a father figure, despite their comical inverse difference in age. No one can tell them otherwise. Don't even try! You can't win against him.

-Shadow Sneak
-Toxic SpikesLearned Moves: Aerial Ace, Ice Beam, Aura Sphere, Liquidation, Triple Axel, Power-up Punch Sacred Sword, Substitute +Form Changes: Ash-GreninjaThe heroes of Kalos are a rare phenomenon; appearing only in small groups every couple of centuries. One of the titular saviors of this age was born in the early 21st century. Even in youth, he felt an odd, but overwhelmingly strong sense of purpose. He felt a deep-seated need to hone his strength, and more importantly, to find a dear partner who could help him achieve the greatness he held within.For Greninja, that ended up being none other than Ash Ketchum. A bold and caring trainer from Pallet Town, he showed his strength and heart in succession in the span of just one day, and Froakie requested his partnership.In an adventure that changed their lives forever, Ash and Greninja unlocked the power of the Bond Phenomenon; heights never before reached, as described by Olympia. A power so intense, and trials so perilous, that the two were pushed to the brink, physically and mentally. Only after hitting rock bottom, did they rediscover the purpose of their bond; their shared desire to protect others. They started from zero, and fought as one, through the Kalos League and the awful Kalos Crisis that followed. Alongside friends and allies, they saved the world.Greninja took his leave when the Zygarde cores pleaded for his help in removing the wicked roots generated by Xerosic's machine, and said a tearful goodbye to Ash and Pikachu. But, goodbyes don't always last forever.Greninja reunited with Ash after completing his scourging of the roots, with the help of a guilt-ridden Alain and the Draconid, Zinnia. With his duties settled, he wished to help his trainer achieve his goal of becoming Pokémon League Champion, and in the long term, Pokémon Master.Greninja is a sharp-witted and perceptive Pokémon who often sees through things that others often don't, and stealthily maintains control of a situation. He has a dry sense of humor, and often pretends to be above the eccentricities of his loved ones surrounding him, but deep down, he quietly shares the same sort of campiness that his trainer so loudly and proudly shows to the world. No matter how hard he tries to hide it, the truth is, Greninja is a bit of a dork.Greninja has carried a long-enduring, loving relationship with Serena's Delphox, as well as Ash's Hawlucha. Even after helping Ash reach the pinnacle of the world in strength, Greninja will fight alongside him and their peers loyally, forevermore.

-Sunny DayLearned Moves: Solar Beam, Me First, Double Team, Swords DanceArtemis was caught as a Fletchling early in Ash's Kalos journey, after stealing a berry from Bonnie, who was trying to feed her Dedenne. A strong believer in justice, Ash's Greninja insisted on revenge, and Ash caught her in battle.She went on to be a valuable and reliable teammate; partaking in almost every one of Ash's Gym Battles in the region, going as far as to defeat Valerie's Mega Mawile as a Fletchinder, and even evolving to help save her friends from a Moltres. She's ever-loyal and a hard worker; full of fiery personality. She's prone to even taking 4x effective hits and shaking them off to come back for more.Artemis was always something of a jokester, laughing at the gang's plight when they first met. She apologized for her actions, but her teasing never quite ceased. She & Ash became prone to talking trash together once he could understand her.In her downtime, she often cozies up to her teammates and preens them as a sign of affection. Her warm body feels a lot like a heater, which makes her quite comfortable, which she often uses to comfort Ash while she grooms his wild hair.Between this convenience and her catchphrase; "Get Flame Bodied!"; Artemis has a habit of switching between her standard ability and Gale Wings, for battling. As a result, a chunk of her battling salary goes towards buying Ability Patches.She seemingly has no interest in romance, preferring platonic companionship.

He fought stylishly and gallantly to protect order and justice. But, he just couldn't perfect his signature move, without wasting time on striking the pose he preferred!That was where Ash came in. The perceptive trainer helped him weave his pose seamlessly into Flying Press's signature dive! After this, Hawlucha agreed to travel with him, and together, they fought in battle after thrilling battle.Hawlucha likes to wear personalized luchador outfits, usually crafted for him by Serena or Dawn. He enjoys wearing them into battle, so they sometimes become damaged, though this has become less frequent thanks to their expert craftsmanship, this happens rather infrequently.Hawlucha's found a long and steady relationship with his fierce rival, Greninja. He's rather shy about showing affection and often disguises it behind pride and bluster, often breaking into cursing in Paldean to cover his tracks. Although he has no interest in women, he shares a close friendship with Serena's Delphox, after she'd helped him find courage to dance. The three are a closely knit trio!

-ThunderLearned Moves: Chilling Water, Power Whip, Fire Blast, Breaking Swipe, Acid Armor, Ice Beam, Dragon CheerA refugee of a war-torn Wetlands, Camilla was but a puny Goomy, wishing to become stronger and return to save their homelands. Alongside the valiant and competent Ash, she sought to reach her full potential! That wish came true, as her drive allowed her to fully evolve rather quickly; within the span of one Gym, she fully evolved into a mighty Goodra!After helping Ash defeat Clemont, she returned to the Wetlands, where her motivations came to light to the rest of her friends. The offending faction led by Florges ended up having noble motives, though; her child was struck ill, and desperately needed the Wetlands' rejuvenating waters, which were being siphoned by greedy criminals After their defeat, Ash reluctantly released Camilla to take care of the Wetlands as she'd always aspired to.Though, Camillaa did end up returning to help Ash fight in the Kalos League. She still primarily lives at her Kalosian home, guarding it alongside Florges, but she opted to formally become Ash's Pokémon again, when she assisted him once more in his bid to win the Indigo Champion's League.Eventually, Keanan was convinced to include a Poké Ball transfer machine at his post, so that Camilla could move between home and seeing Ash more freely.Nearly twenty years after taking her post at the Wetlands, Camilla considered the words of two dear comrade, and decided to retire from her post sat the Wetlands, vying for the freedom and companionship of living alongside Ash and the others. She's formally retired from overseeing Route 14, and has moved back to Viridian City to stay at the Ketchumuriere residence, full time.Additionally, she's sparked up a polyamorous bond with Clemont's Heliolisk, Felicitas, and Bonnie's Dedenne, Susanoo. They were said dear comrades!

-Air SlashLearned Moves: Hurricane, Draco Meteor, Tailwind, PsychicAfter releasing Goodra, Ash found an abandoned egg, which quickly hatched into a Noibat! Noibat quickly took to him, after he'd provided a parental role to them just about instantly, and joined his team permanently.Although he views Ash as a parent, Hawlucha quickly took to an adamant fatherly role as well, often instructing him on how to fly, and later jumping to his aid whenever he was in trouble. When they're on the same team, Hawlucha often pops out of his Poké Ball after Noivern is defeated in a match.Like his Dragon-type predecessor, Noivern bloomed quickly into his evolved form, and even fought off the mighty Zapdos as his first act. Although, bravery can only go so far, and as a rather young Pokémon, he underperformed a bit in the Kalos League. Noivern still had plenty of room to grow, and would go on to become stronger alongside his trainer for many years to come!He's become a mighty threat, with his blinding speed and sonar. His reverberations allow him to detect and slip past barriers and obstructions, thanks to his Infiltrator ability! He can often break through troublesome barriers and stalling Pokémon for Ash, and has carved this out as his battling niche.

-Roost
-ToxicLearned Moves: Trailblaze, Leaf Storm, Leaf Blade, Knock Off, Sucker Punch, Shadow Sneak, Confuse Ray, Rain Dance, HazeSomehow born into a nest of Pikipek, Rowsy started his days as a clumsy and eccentric Rowlet. Due to living with a diurnal flock, his naturally nocturnal sleep schedule was turned on its head, giving the bird a couple of sleep disorders. Hence his suiting given name from his flock; Rowsy.He suffers from Narcolepsy due to a mismanaged internal clock, and will often doze off at random. It was something he, nor his trainer understood for quite a bit.A plucky and excitable young man from Kanto became his trainer after several months of life in the wild; Ash Ketchum! He was being shown around Melemele by one of Akala's current captains; Mallow, and Rowsy was drawn to the scent of her Bounsweet. Ash ended up catching him in battle, after he stole his hat!Rowsy swallowed an Everstone early into his tenure with Ash. While Rotomdex speculated that he swallowed it to help digest food — and that may also be true — Rowlet simply chose not to evolve. If he did, he'd no longer be able to perch on Ash's head, or lounge in his backpack! Ash is no stranger to Pokémon with strong preferences, so he paid it no mind. They'd become strong without evolution!Ash took Rowsy along with him on his quest to the past in Hisui. Arceus suggested he and Dewott join Ash, mysteriously... He was a good fit, as their first forms were already known in ancient Sinnoh, and their lax and honorable dispositions were fairly disarming to Jubilife's fearful population.It was in Jubilife that he and Ash encountered a Hisuian Decidueye! They underestimated Rowsy, and encouraged him to evolve, but he refused. Prideful and stubborn, he fought the expert archer to a standstill. But, despite his wealth of experience and Ash's tactics, they found themselves up against a wall with the Decidueye's mighty Triple Arrows. Rowlet was defeated by the mysterious signature move, stirring a prideful fury in the oddball. As if he would stand for it!In a rematch, Ash and Rowsy sought to imitate Triple Arrows, and did so, as was their signature, in an unorthodox fashion. Using the air pressure of his attacks, as his Long Reach ability always flaunted, he taught himself to fire sharp projectiles that carried the same effect as his evolution's greatest weapon!Rowsy defeated his evolution, and earned their respect.Rowsy fights utilizing his odd movements and command of air pressure, showing great stealth with his feathers that don't create sound and impeccable speed. His stealthy fighting was even improved by training with the heroic Greninja!He also has killer aim with Seed Bomb, thanks to tutoring by the Toucannon who led his flock, bolstered by Ash's Unfezant, Hato, and her Super Luck!He and Hato hit it off while training, due to their quirky personalities and similar fighting styles. Not a pair you'd expect, but a happy one, nonetheless!

-SnarlLearned Moves: Play Rough, Drill Run, Psychic Fangs, Thunder Fang, Roar, Swords Dance, Stealth Rock, Quick Guard, CrunchWhen Ash started living in with Kukui during his Island Pilgrimage, he befriended a Rockruff who strangely lived inside the lab, but was never caught. Ash's energetic nature resonated with her, and she quickly took to him, after he trained her to use Rock Throw, and cheered her on in a battle with her pride at stake.Pōhaku was caught, though soon after, she became ornery, lashing out at Ash and her teammates on the eve of Ash's Grand Trial with Olivia! After their victory, she ran off into the night, and was found by the legendary Tapu Lele, who beat her to a pulp in a capricious but playful attempt at training her. Olivia's Midday Lycanroc, as well as the mysterious Gladion's Midnight Lycanroc sought to help her. The following Dusk, she witnessed the mysterious Green Flash, and evolved into the enigmatic Dusk Lycanroc; a form not seen in decades for its rarity.All was well until the next year, when Pōhaku started showing behavioral issues; flying into a rabid rage with furious red eyes. Failing to understand her troubles, Ash returned to Alola to seek wisdom that he couldn't find in Kanto, and he was pointed towards Ula'Ula. The reluctant, lazy Kahuna, Nanu, sent Pōhaku and Ash off on a quest with the mysterious Acerola. She showed them to the guardian deity of Ula'Ula; Tapu Bulu. The guardian helped train Pōhaku , and intentionally exposed her rage, so that Ash was forced to help her find herself.Ultimately, the one to truly understand her nature, though, was Nanu himself, after he'd ironically abdicated the duty to others. He connected Pōhaku's behavior to the darkness in the heart of Midnight Lycanroc. Despite her typically noble and warm disposition, her nature still nursed an aggressive streak that could become stoked either by a lack of outlets for her aggression, or a stimuli that stoked her temper too greatly; making her quite the difficult Pokémon to train!Ash was made to reconcile with this, and promised to help Pōhaku find her balance, no matter what. They cleared a Grand Trial against Nanu, where she defeated three Pokémon alone. Along with the Darkium Z Ash earned in the trial, Tapu Bulu gifted Ash and Lycanroc with a Lycanium Z as a reward for their victory.Pōhaku can now control her red-eyed form; now dubbed Midnight Impulse; and use it to its fullest potential! It brings out the utmost of her power and aggression, essentially triggering an adrenaline rush, making her perform straightforward and brutal battling, and expending her energy quickly. Thus, she and Ash only use this high-risk, high-reward gambit when they find it prudent.Additionally, Pōhaku takes great pride in the lustrous quality of her rocky fur!
Pōhaku is native Alolan for rock, inspired by her typing and stubborn personality.

-Blast BurnLearned Moves: Bulk-up, Crunch, Outrage, Flare Blitz, Scary Face, Wild Charge, Fire FangAsh met Torracat when he was just a Litten, who was caring for his elderly guardian, Stoutland. Tragically, his caretaker met the end of his lifespan shortly after their meeting. Ash showed his good heart to Litten, and offered to take him in. He was a standoffish Pokémon; emotionally wounded, and took time learning to trust either. But Ash and his companions showed patience, and earned his companionship. With some time, he learned to move on, and dedicate himself to his own goal; to defeat Masked Royale's Incineroar. Ever since their first battle, he's had a roaring fighting spirit, training hard alongside Ash even outside Alola!Several years later, he got his closure meeting Stoutland in Tapu Fini's mist, bordering the afterlife. His old parental figure taught him how to use Fire Blast.Fire Blast is his treasure to remember Stoutland by, and it will always remain one of his primary moves.In Ash and Kukui's Exhibition Match, he clashed again with Incineroar, using the unexpected power of absorbing Blast Burn into the bell around his neck creating Blast Torracat! After awakening Blaze, he defeated his rival and long-time goal.Although he admired his rival greatly, he himself prefers his speedy and valiant battling style to Incineroar's Heel nature, and chose to stay unevolved.Although, he did learn a few things from Incineroar! He trained with the titan to trade his Blaze ability for Intimidate. As the Battle Royale King, he's plenty frightening! This gives him an edge in fights piled on top of his tenacity, and will sometimes be used in conjunction with other devilish tactics. After powering himself with Blast Burn, for example, he'll use Parting Shot to escape while he's vulnerable; giving him the opportunity to return later in the match, more fiery and terrifying than ever! He lurks as a specter over his foes, ready to strike at any time!Torracat ends up taking Solgaleo under his wing as a fellow feline. It's a little funny-looking, acknowledging their comparative size, but the fair-sized feeline is still a successor of Alola's Masked Royal and his Incineroar, after all!He and Ash's Pignite have something of a friendly rivalry, ignited by their fiery fighting spirits, and matching dry wits. Sometimes they annoy and goad one another into fights, and others... Well, there's a bit of flaming passion, there!

-Sunny Day
-Morning SunLearned Moves: Fire Blast, Wild Charge, Teleport, Light Screen, Reflect, Solar BeamShortly after his return to the Alola region, Ash had a prophetic dream. He was unable to decipher its meaning at first, but shortly afterward, Tapu Koko led him to a forest clearing, where he found a small, strange entity. Without any logic behind it, Ash felt a strong intuition to protect the cloudy creature.This turned out to be Cosmog, according to Lusamine and the Aether Foundation. After the President's transgressions seven years ago, this led her to believe that there was a cosmic will at play, guiding Cosmog into Ash's arms. He swore to safeguard the Ultra Beast, and raise them as the heavens requested.Necrozma's attack on Alola drained Cosmog of their light, turning them into a comatose state in Cosmoem. After Ash, Interpol, Selene, Lillie, Aether, and the Ultra Recon Squad regrouped to rescue Selene's Lunala, they used prior knowledge from their adventures to awaken Cosmoem at the Altar of the Sunne.Cosmoem evolved into Solgaleo! Once again lively and at Ash's side, they led them into Ultra Space to find Dawn Wings Necrozma and return peace to Ultra Space, as well as Ash's Poipole's homeworld.Solgaleo aided valiantly in the fight against the obscenely strong Ultra Necrozma, alongside their teammate and friend, the now-evolved Naganadel. After Necrozma was defeated with 10-Million Volt Thunderbolt, they were left a shell of their former selves, once more. Lillie helped them accept their retirement from maintaining the balance of Ultra Space, and Solgaleo and Lunala volunteered their services to bridge that gap in the cosmic order!Of course, duties aren't forever goodbyes. Solgaleo bridges paths in Ultra Space as their universal duty, while in their spare time, they prefer to stay by Ash's side.After the Necrozma confrontation, Solgaleo found that they'd grown a bit too big for their britches. They were, after all, no more than a cloud of cosmic gas! Unsure how to move and battle like a feline, Solgaleo turned to Torracat as a mentor! Despite being a legendary Pokémon, they look up to Torracat for guidance.They sport some of their signature moves, such as Flare Blitz and Flame Charge; that speed and fiery power making for a monstrous opponent! Solgaleo also learned to use Psychic Fangs in the same manner as Torracat's Fire Fang!Solgaleo is, and has always been playful, often teleporting Ash to other places as a way to show him new sights, or simply to get his attention! Despite being so intimidating and powerful, they never truly outgrew their friendly personality.

They helped keep Necrozma at bay, while Ash, Selene, and Lillie devised a plan to humble and calm the deity down.With Necrozma calmed and retired from being the Blinding One, Naganadel was free to return to their rejuvenated home. But, they'd already found a new family in Ash and Peeks. They decided to stay in the human world, occasionally venturing off to visit their old colony. They fought valiantly by Ash's side in the Alola League!They're a deceptively cheery and charming creature, despite their frightening appearance. They enjoy drawing pictures and messages with their Toxic, and celebrate jovially after a victory. They very much enjoy the crowd's attention and approval, often performing dances for them.

-Electro Ball
-Court ChangeLearned Moves: Gunk Shot, High Jump Kick, Iron Head, Baton PassForm Changes: Gigantamax CinderaceZophia was originally offered by Chairman Rose as a gift to Bede in his beginnings of the Gym Challenge; a rare, ideally bred starter with the hidden Libero ability.Bede wasn't interested in the Fire-type; that not being his specialty, and coldly abandoned her in Motostoke. Scorbunny developed an abandonment complex that bred a distrust for humans. This veil was cracked, when she saw Ash and Pikachu, freshly arriving in Motostoke. Jealous and bitter towards what seemed to be an unbreakable bond, she stole their food, sourly eating it all by herself.Ash and Pikachu found her. Expecting hostility, she kicked an Ember at Ash; igniting his beard. Once Pikachu doused it, Ash kindly told her that if she was hungry, he could've asked for some food. In her anger, she'd stomped on what remained of the food, and reluctantly accepted. Experiencing a dose of Ash and Pikachu's kindness, Scorbunny found herself instantly attached to the two.When Ash and Pikachu were about to depart, she kicked Ash in the rear; knocking a Poké Ball loose that she caught herself inside. She was Ash's first Galar catch.Zophia took to Ash and Pikachu, and no longer antagonized them personally. Though as any troubled, abandoned Fire-type starter tended to go...She had other issues.Many abandoned Pokémon infamously carry insecurities about their strength, afraid to disappoint prospective trainers. Zophia had a different problem; she was strong. She was bred for the highest individual values, her line's competitive hidden ability, and an astoundingly powerful starting moveset with egg moves.If she was strong to begin with, then why was she abandoned? Was strength not enough? If she couldn't guarantee companionship by battling well, then what was stopping anyone else from casting her aside like Bede? What was wrong with her?She couldn't risk being replaced by whoever came next. As Ash's number one partner, she idolized Pikachu and his strength; they were supposedly Champions already! She wanted to be like him. She could abide by his presence and liked it.But, what of new Pokémon? What of the next catch who might replace her? What if Ash got bored with his new partner and she was left behind again? Zophia couldn't allow it. Every time Ash prepared a Poké Ball, she saw her new life flashing before her eyes. She'd kick the ball away to secure her place, every single time. For a good couple of towns and cities, she refused to let Ash catch even a single Pokémon!She had the chance to confront this issue with a very stubborn Galarian Farfetch'd, who when they met, she refused to let Ash catch. Farfetch'd followed them, witnessing Zophia's refusal to battle Bede in the Galarian Mines.On the way to Stow-on-Side, the Gym Leader Bea fought Ash in an informal match, independent of their upcoming Gym Battle. After all, a good battle just can't wait! Zophia lost to her powerful Fighting-types. When Ash was about to substitute her with Pikachu, Farfetch'd offered his services. Although they lost the battle, Ash happily caught him anyway. Waking up in time to witness this, Zophia felt threatened, and received Farfetch'd very coldly.Already proud and independent in spirit, Farfetch'd withdrew from Zophia and Ash alike, leaving the team awfully fractured, and Ash and Pikachu at a loss. Luckily, the worst of their fraternal turmoil didn't last terribly long.While confronting Bede at the mural, Ash finally learned of Zophia's history with her former trainer, and went on to reassure her that they would always be partners. That fact finally started to sink in, and she evolved into Raboot! With her newfound power and sense of self, she defeated Bede and avenged her pain.In his own, stoic way, Farfetch'd offered his condolences, and Zophia began to warm up to him. From that point onward, she never kicked Ash's Poké Balls again.Her deep-seated need to prove herself still burned, but she geared it in a positive direction; wanting to become his best self alongside Ash and all of their teammates. She no longer dreamed of abandonment; only dreaming of greatness. Fleeting loneliness gave her berth for a roaring fighting spirit; she saw herself standing alongside Ash and Pikachu as the greatest battlers of all time!When Ash fought the undefeatable Leon, his strong team pushed the trainer from Pallet into a corner, forcing him to wear down his team with his reliable Pikachu. Even Peeks tired in carrying the pressure on his own, and Leon's supposedly invincible Charizard was left as Zophia's responsibility. An all-out Gigantamax battle left both Fire-type starters exhausted, but unwilling to yield. A knock-out, high-speed battle ensued, and ultimately, Zophia's earnest drive persevered. One last, well-placed Pyro Ball brought the titan down, putting Ash, Zophia, and the others in Galar's Hall of Fame! Zophia was satisfied, but never lost her drive.Back at home, she still trains tirelessly, regularly awakening before sunrise to run laps, and pick fights with Ash's ever-expansive roster that she only now had the chance to know. Seeing such an expansive family gathered over the years gave her a new perspective of just how enduring bonds were meant to be.Despite her tough exterior, she turned out to be something of a Disaster Lesbian, though, when confronted with Ash's older Lucario, Rosemary. The Aura Guardian took to her fighting spirit and cute demeanor quickly, overwhelming a poor, sputtering Striker. They started dating shortly afterward, and have stayed steady for the past few years. Not bad for a scrappy little bunny from Motostoke, huh?Alternate Forms: Gigantamax Cinderace

He was preventing passage on Route 5's bridge, until he was challenged boldly by Ash.Scorbunny managed to defeat him, though when Ash tried to catch him, Scorbunny stopped him. Intrigued, he followed Ash.He witnessed the trainer's strong fighting spirit and skill, as well as Scorbunny's reluctance to fight Bede. He also watched Ash challenge the Fighting-type leader, Bea, and volunteered to face off against her when Scorbunny lost. Ash accepted his help, however unorthodox. They lost, and Scorbunny was sour about the new capture, leaving the then-Farfetch'd stubbornly withdrawn.He had a habit of training on his own, stubbornly refusing Ash's help. It inhibited his growth, whether he knew this or not.This changed when Ash came across Kalos' former Elite Four member, Wikstrom, who was traveling abroad to teach a course of chivalry and swordsmanship.Believing this would help Mordred, Ash enrolled.Mordred dropped his prized leek down a castle's pit trap, and Ash didn't think twice before jumping in, grabbing the weapon. Gaining a deeper respect for Ash, Mordred cooperated with him, and completed Wikstrom's course.While battling the Gym Leader, Piers, Mordred found himself struggling against the leader's vicious Obstagoon, who was capable of defeating most of Galar's leaders even with Dynamax. Ash's guidance and encouragement led him to bypass Obstruct, and land three critical hits. Mordred evolved into Sirfetch'd here, and gained the strength and willpower to defeat Piers' Obstagoon.From then on, Mordred has stood gallantly at Ash's side, aiming to defeat any opponent with his swordsmanship. He upholds a stoic front, but has a chivalrous spirit. Thanks to his trainer's creative mind, as well, he's found many unorthodox and skillful uses of his leek sword and shield in the heat of battle. With his ever-growing expertise, he continues to Aim to be a Leek Master!

-Ice FangLearned Moves: Dragon Rush, Rain Dance, Draco Meteor, Mega Kick, Surf*Shortly after revival, Dracovish's difficulties became apparent. Even before reporting Cara Liss, Ash rushed them to a Pokémon Center out of concern. *While Nurse Joy was confronted with a completely unknown Pokémon, she did her best to evaluate their health on the scene. The situation wasn't quite as catastrophic as one would expect; although they can't have children, Dracovish was projected to live a mostly uninterrupted life . . .
With proper care and sensitivity, that was.By their very nature, they were a fragile creature with multiple disorders. A walking Pokémon with gills and a head meant for marine life. A very unbalanced body not designed with their brain in mind. So, they'd require routine moisture, which luckily is as simple as dousing their gills with a squirt bottle, or allowing them in water. They'd suffer stress on their limbs and joints, too.For good reason, they weren't comfortable with being evaluated by specialists or scientists, right away. So, they were left in Ash's care for the time being while he did his best to care for them, himself. Ash routinely massaged Dracovish and helped them exercise their limbs for greater control; going as far as imitating the routine with them. He also kept their gills healthy and expressly avoids battles with harsh sunlight or sandstorm weather conditions; always forfeiting their place in a match that included them.There were a handful of underhanded trainers who recognized the pattern and tried to exploit it to force a loss against them. After Pikachu made a point of sweeping them, Ash made a point of scaring them into never trying it again.Emotionally, they adjusted rather well with a supportive trainer and team surrounding them.After completing the Galar League with Ash, Dracovish slowly became more receptive to outside help. They received, and still do receive physical therapy.With enough time — and research from Pokémon biologists — Dracovish underwent several minor surgeries to make their existence a little more seamless and pleasant. Archeologists and medical specialists are hard at work at deciphering a proper, more drastic surgery to improve their quality of life.With time and lots of effort, Dracovish underwent said transformative surgery, completely rearranging their body. There was an arduous recovery, but they've been totally transformed! Enough to qualify as a new Pokémon!Dracovish is now known as Drakimera!With an upright body, they can now move easily enough on land, and extremely easily in water! Beyond battling, they're far more comfortable in everyday life!They're a happy fellow, grateful for a new lease on life and wonderful friends. They like to bite Ash as a sign of affection. Good thing he's already used to that habit...!

Even after evolution, she somewhat resembles the fluffy sweet treats! It's her favorite delicacy; ice cream mochi a close second.Ash trained her as a Snom on the model of Elesa's Tynamo, who was taught to bounce around at ludicrous speeds, despite their stature.She came to master throwing her weight around in her first stage!After evolution, Mochi maintained her remarkable methods of movement, compensating for Frosmoth's rather average speed stat with her bouncing about!She's also remarkably huge for her species; possibly owed to all of the berries and vitamins that Ash fed her as a Snom. Her wings span a remarkable 16 feet!Mochi shows motherly tendencies; she adopted many Snom before Ash left Galar, and brought them home to live in their household in Kanto. Dawn also took to her very quickly, for her plush comfortable fur and cool body temperature.

-HexLearned Moves: Nasty Plot, Confuse Ray, Focus Blast, Flamethrower, Tera Blast, SnowscapeBorn a resentful spirit of a Zorua wronged by earlier humans, Ruse had no plans to leave the Alabaster Icelands, morbidly bonded to the place he'd previously perished. Furthermore, he was reborn an Alpha Zorua; the largest of a Hisuian Zorua litter, who had no Zoroark to protect them. He was their only salvation.A band of humans invaded the Icelands, leading Ruse to attack their camp. The Security Corps, fearing for their lives and the legends of humans vanishing around Zorua, declared a counterattack. But, a strange... living Zoroark harkened her human to quell the conflict. She could smell his fear. His protective instincts.Swyn knew those feelings all too well.One human among the group tried to pacify Ruse. He insisted there was nothing to fear. But, humans were liars. Ruse attacked violently and bitterly.What was he to think, when the Zoroark — one hardly larger than him, at that — took the blow for the human? Why? Was she that deluded? That subservient?She picked him up by his scruff, and asked to see his pack. He allowed it, if only because she was the closest thing to his mother, long gone, that he could remember. He reluctantly allowed her human to come along, only because she claimed him to be her mate. Ruse couldn't fathom it, but he allowed him, and only him among the humans to accompany himself and Swyn to their den.There was a small pack of Zorua that he guarded, all of them lacking a proper Zoroark to follow. As an Alpha Pokémon, he was their substitute. A Ruse.The human was told of the way Zorua and Zoroark were exiled to this region for their Illusions and the danger they presented. The way so many perished. Then, and only then, came a sight that Ruse couldn't believe. The human cried. Their tragedy hurt him. He hardly even believed the tale, as if he couldn't understand such cruelty. He was an oddity; Ruse could accept that, with some skepticism. But, that was just one odd human. It didn't make up for their suffering.He and Swyn made an unbelievable offer; for the Zorua pack to join the humans in one of their temperate, secure settings. How could they possibly take that offer? How long would it be, before they were subjected to the same ostracization?Swyn swore she'd tear the humans asunder, if they dared. The human wasn't quite as adamant, but he swore that he'd protect them. That they'd make peace.Ruse wanted to promise security for his pack. But, he couldn't trust empty promises. He challenged them to prove they could protect them from man. Ruse battled Swyn and her human... and despite his valiant, desperate efforts, was trounced miserably. This human was strong. He didn't rely on mobs and numbers.Ruse wanted that strength, too, to feel fully secure in his decision. He agreed to bring his pack along, on the condition that the human train him as he did Swyn. The human — Ash — happily agreed, and Ruse was caught. So were the rest of his pack, to be subjects of the survey, and coexist with man in Jubilife Village.Ash and Swyn were very clear that they were to be respected and safeugarded.The bonds between humans and Pokémon were tenuous, but reforming. He and his pack attracted fearful stares in Jubilife, but no violence. The braver among them studied them and their behaviors. Fed them. Socialized with them.The biggest bombshell might have been that their pack was from the future! It baffled Ruse. But, by the time that Ash was set to leave, his own pack had grown and intermingled with the village and their Pokémon. Some had evolved into Zoroarks, themselves, though he never did. Somehow, he still felt unfulfilled.So, he returned to the present with Ash and Swyn— Meema. If Jubilife Village surprised him, then modern Kanto left him baffled. Pokémon and humans lived in relative harmony. Cruelty was strictly punished, and they fought together to not only maintain that status quo, but better it with each new generation. As a casualty of human selfishness, Ruse refused to take this new world for granted. Modern conveniences and social norms are things he treasures, and often enthusiastically enforces them where he can. He considers himself something of a bringer of justice; often using his Illusory powers to frighten and punish children on the wrong path & set them straight.One such incident led to a change in a mischievous child's demeanor towards Pokémon. Ruse felt... complete. Like he was a proper guardian who could use his abilities to change fates. With this, he evolved into a mighty Alpha Zoroark.He has a somewhat sharp and dry wit, but a kind disposition. After evolving, he stands at a terrifying 10'6", though he's usually slouching, so it's hard to tell.

-Ice PunchLearned moves: Close Combat, Mist, Encore, Charm, Whirlpool, Blizzard, Aura Sphere, BounceAlternate Forms: Hero FormOne day, some time ago, a curious young Finizen veered off course from her pod, and wiggled her way into an undersea cavern. Unfortunately, she found herself stuck, unable to escape! So, she took up a new life in the ponds of Area One. Undersocialized and underdeveloped in her empathic powers, she felt a deep-seated drive to help others, but never quite learned how to do so properly.Thus, the ponds found themselves with an overly-enthusiastic and misguided hero, who would often misread situations and make a nuisance of herself. The striking, lonely hero made her debut, calling herself Marvel!One fateful day, she happened upon a man and his Pikachu, who came to her aid in a fateful moment where another Finizen found themselves trapped in the cove tunnels. Lives were at stake, but Ash and Pikachu's heroic tendencies helped her save the day! After that, she gallantly took them under her fin as sidekicks!Marvel is well-meaning, but has quite the ego. Without a pod to teach her how to develop her empathy, she's pretty poor at understanding others and often jumps to conclusions. Hopefully, training with Ash will help her go from Zero to Hero!She encountered Ash and Peeks at a very convenient time; right before they began their journey through the Paldea region! After picking up the cynical and unseeming Quinn and the boisterous Hammah, Marvel joins the group on a quest for heroism... and Gym Badges, of course!In her clumsy bid for heroism, Marvel finds an arch-nemesis in a nefarious villain — a Caspakid who enjoys stirring mayhem! Coincidentally, they end up belonging to who else, but James of the formerly illustrious Team Rocket?Caspacid starts trouble, and Marvel does her best to rise to the occasion. While Ash and Team Rocket allow them to go at it, amused with the feeling of Deja Vu, those two treat this rivalry very, very seriously! Marvel's initially at a disadvantage due to the archvillain's typing and favored Sunny Day, but a hero never gives up!Both ultimately evolve into Palafin and Scovillain, respectively, redoubling their touch-and-go antagonism! But, all of that changes when Marvel discovers a talent built into her genes. A secret identity none could've predicted!Marvel goes from Zero to Hero! A heroic transformation gives her power she'd never anticipated, and a whole new, bold persona! She feels unstoppable!She... is unstoppable. Scovillain proves nary a match for her, anymore. And much like Ash and Peeks 20 years ago, she finds that her nefarious foe is little more than a joke. Talk about anti-climactic, right? Is this all she has ahead of her?No world-saving heroics? No challenges? Too much power at her disposal?It's boring. It's deflating. So, when Ash and company come across a mysterious seal, riddled with legends of mayhem and fiery doom, Marvel does the unthinkable. She breaks the seal of one of the Treasures, seeking her glory.Chi-Yu is entirely more than anything she could've anticipated, or prepared for. A river of lava threatened the Northern Province, and the people and Pokémon who reside there! It's a catastrophe — far greater than Marvel was prepared for!In the midst of the crisis, Marvel was cornered into admitting her guilt, apologizing profusely. What she did was a grave error, and far from heroic. But, Ash reassured her of one thing: There was no point in dwelling on blame. When a hero is needed, they act, no matter what! And that was what she'd do!Ash's team fought together valiantly with Marvel to protect the wildlife and take on Chi-Yu; seemingly an indomitable foe. Could anyone save the day!?Prepare for trouble, or end up deep-fried...
Make it double, because some help we've supplied!Team Rocket came in with their balloon, supplying Peeks, who'd been separated from the group! With his help, Chi-Yu was defeated and retreated to slumber.Marvel was humbled, and greatly remorseful. She wanted to be a hero, so badly. If there's no great stakes to fight, what was her role, she asked?But, Ash's words of wisdom she'd brushed off for ages sank in: A hero fights for peace. Chaos isn't all it's cracked up to be. And, her wants should never put others in danger. That's not what heroes do. They fight for a better tomorrow!After reconciling with her team, Marvel took these words to heart, and focused on getting strong alongside Ash and her friends. She'd never want to be unprepared like that again... Not that she'd incite another incident, herself!During the year after Marvel's introduction to Ash and his family and friends, she managed to somewhat polish her social skills, and refine her empathy sensing — aptly named Hero Sense — along with her strength under the guidance of Ash and Greninja! She's still a bit oblivious, but she's budded into quite the helpful paragon, with plenty of strength, to boot!But, there's often little to do with all of that valor in a peaceful home. Marvel felt unfulfilled, unable to enact her heroic dreams... until she stoked the idea to apply as a Pokémon Ranger!. . . Or a Pokémon Pokémon Ranger?Ritchie, Himashi, and company could certainly use another Ranger on staff, so they happily employed her to be a hero, fulltime! She lives primarily in the Ranger Base dormitory, and takes the not often envied night shifts. A hero in the night!She uses her Jet Punch to emulate a Capture Stylus, firing Charm or Encore's influence in its liquid missile to calm or command Pokémon & people in conflict!

But her listless, disinterested demeanor diverted many trainers from even sparing her a thought. For a Sprigatito, she seemed quite dull at first glance.She eventually gave up on the idea, not finding much excitement in the idea of having a trainer or battling, to begin with. In fact, she didn't know what she wanted to do with herself in general. She became content sitting in Clavell's window, day after day... Or, the closest thing to content she'd experienced.Over ten years passed, before that changed. At the beginning of the semester after a turbulent previous academic year, she encountered the Academy's guest speaker; the reigning World Champion. Quinn hardly spared him a passing glance; he was a blowhard full of fluff and good PR like all the rest, but she didn't see anything particularly special about him. Unfortunately for Quinn, she found herself face-to-face with that seeming vagrant back in the Director's office.Ash attempted to chat with her, leading to a rough misunderstanding. But, with some nudging from Peeks, she entertained him for a moment. When Ash swore there was something special about her, she bristled and brushed the idea off. How could there be? She was just a humble Office Cat. Nothing more.A demonstration at a Double Battle Seminar showed Quinn a glimpse of the lively life of Ash and Peeks, though, and she set aside her pride and agreed to travel along with them... not to be a battler, though. Just for fun.Quinn was skeptical and snarky, only joining in battle when she thought her trainer's life was in danger. Ash taught her Acrobatics, afterward, which brought attention to her ability, Libero. One that up until then had been seemingly useless.Slowly, over time, she found passion for battling in her own way — that was to say, being a performer. A trickster; a magician; a jester! She enjoyed showing off with sleight of hand and impressive stunts, exploiting her Libero ability to its fullest!She also found a close emotional confidant in Ash rather quickly; being similar in emotional maturity and age. After evolving into a Floragato, she showed her life experience by confessing to him without hesitation. They have a sense of humor and her budding zest for life in common; the foundations of a strong relationship.After evolving fully into Meowscarada, Quinn experienced a 180 in personality — a previously sulky and reclusive Sprigatito became a cheery, friendly gesture with all the zest for life in the world! Moreover, Ash became her best friend.Competing in the Paldea League has allowed her to bloom into one of Ash's most reliable allies, and she's found joy in showing off, both in and out of battle!

The poor fella was missing a lot of their armor; assailed by a large boulder hurled into the sky! The boulders weren't stopping anytime soon, either, so Ash and Quinn went to investigate.The culprit was a mouthy, gutsy Tinkaton... who could talk!? Ash interrogated the little imp, who defended her Corvi-hunting. She wasn't killing nobody. Just giving them a bad haircut to reinforce her prized and coveted scrap hammer, Nelly.Ash insisted she stop, but she retaliated by swinging her hammer... what the hell? He caught it!? He was lifting it? No friggin' human should be able to pull that off.After a gutsy attack from Quinn, who believed her trainer was in danger, Hammah relented, believing any freak of nature who could hoist up Nelly was worth listening to. After a bit of chit-chat, Ash learned she'd been forced to split with her young trainer years ago, who'd given her her name. Ash could see where her rudeness and abrasive nature came from, and empathized with her, as he does.He asked Hammah to join the team, and she agreed!Hammah endlessly crafts and workshops her prized hammer, intentionally making it heavier when it gets too light and easy to wield to continue improving her strength. She likes to kick ass, and she likes to flex! It's a win-win.She and Ash regularly banter and insult each other, but it's out of love.Speaking of love... she and Ash's Scream Tail, Screamo, are a thing.

The forbidden Area Zero! Traversing this forbidden area could certainly land them in trouble, but before they could worry about that, they had to find a way out! But, how'd they up there in the first place?That was due to the burrowing of a certain slippery snake, who'd been doing his best to escape the crater for a good while, now. It seemed his efforts had finally bore fruit, when a strange human and his companion fell through his tunnel!But, before he could rejoice and leave, they asked him if he knew anything about how they'd gotten here. Now, usually, interactions with anything in this awful place spelled trouble — particularly if it was his fault! Tsuchi played dumb.He always did. He always lied. Surviving around the monsters who wandered from the mysterious labs' experiments either required brains, or brawn. Being only strong by normal standards, Tsuchi decided on brawn; or rather, dishonesty. If you saw him disturb a nest? You didn't. Did he eat someone else's berry? Absolutely not. That other fellow over there did it. How else would one survive?The crater had made him a pathological liar. He felt somewhat guilty for marooning the outsiders, but he couldn't afford to get caught up in anything.The guilt got even worse, when he watched them run into Paradox after Parodox, and the partners he'd send out were no match for them. Except for... that Pikachu. It dispatched any predator they encountered almost with ease. What sort of insanity did that thing undergo to face any foe with straightforward valor?Tsuchi decided they'd probably be alright on their own, and went back to foraging, to refuel for his escape from Area Zero. Unfortunately, he'd stolen from the territory of a Roaring Moon. He was sure he was done for!But, a booming courageous voice called out to them. The human and his Pikachu stepped up to defend him! Were they insane!? No trickery? They would simply put themselves at risk for the coward who'd left them to wander?While watching them fight valiantly, Tsuchi feared for their safety after the Roaring Moon's Sunny Day empowered them even further. A bit of verbal trickery and a Pounce attack caught the dragon off-guard and lowered their speed. It was enough for his savior to land a finishing blow!Tsuchi felt incredibly grateful, and he wanted to make his endangering them up to them. But, he couldn't possibly just tell them he'd been behind their plight! So, he promised to lead them to freedom in exchange for defeating the Roaring Moon. It felt rather suspicious that he knew exactly where to find the pit they'd fallen through, and how to navigate it, but he swore it was just his navigational skills at work. But, what good would questioning him do when they had their escape!?Ash, keen to Pokémon as ever, asked the free and departing Tsuchi if he wanted to join them. Still a compulsive liar, he reflexively denied thinking anything of the sort, swearing he'd be on his way to freedom, now that he's found it.His own habits almost lost him that valiant trainer... if said trainer hadn't seen right through his act. Ash fibbed right back, insisting that catching Tsuchi was the least he could do to thank him for giving them their freedom. Tuschi could only oblige, swearing he'd indulge the trainer's gratitude, and join their team.Tsuchi is still a compulsive liar, and often fibs himself out of trouble... or into it. Make no mistake; he does adore his companions, despite his behavior!He developed a bit of a cowardly streak and bruised confidence, being surrounded by so many powerful Pokémon. Ash ultimately helped frame his battle style around developing courage, by teaching him moves that made him stronger, faster, and tougher, so that he can fight with his own strength! His devastating Hyper Drill can slip past screens, and Serene Grace makes the deadly side-effects of his moves quite deadly! If he feels too cowardly, Baton Pass offers him an out!

-WishLearned moves: Dazzling Gleam, Psychic Fangs, Uproar, Scary Face, ProtectA Paradox Pokémon who managed to escape Area Zero, Screamo was the elusive, infamous Scream Tail spoken of in paranormal journals and magazines.Wishing an audience for its scream-based singing, they took to the acoustics of the high rocky outcrops of Area Three, often proving herself a nuisances to the local Pokémon and passing travelers and trainers, alike. Worse yet, they feared ulterior motives from the grating and terrifying sounds; it spurred rumors of a dangerous predator attempting to protect their territory, or even find victims!Complaints arose until an unlikely Ash and Peeks decided to check it out. After a stakeout and some patience, the two managed to discern that the screaming beast of Area Three was actually an ancient ancestor to Jigglypuff!As soon as that connection was made, the dynamic duo figured it out. This wild Pokémon simply wanted to scream, and be heard! Not unlike a certain Jigglypuff.Ash tried to explain to the Paradox that they were frightening people, but the ancient creature had a hard time understanding modern sensibilities.So, Ash returned to the nearest town to purchase an electric guitar! He returned to Scream Tail's domain, and communicated with them in the only way they knew — BY ROCKING OUT! Playing some of his most energetic hits, with Peeks as a power supply, he harmonized with the anomaly and made friends with them.Their incidents were starting to provoke talks of hunting down the disturbance, so Ash convinced the Paradox to accompany him, instead. He understood them better than any outraged citizen might! The promise of more rock-out sessions was enough for the eerie puffball, promising another member of Ash's squad.Ash dubbed them Screamo, as a multi-layered pun on the type of music, their love for screaming, and the 'tail' atop their head that looked an awful lot like the racoon tails and dyed hair of the dated emo & scene aesthetics.Screamo took some time to learn that not everyone has infinite tolerance for unending noise, causing some discord among his party at first. But, a few Gigaton Hammers launching Screamo into the stratosphere began to get the point across.Through some investigations alongside Gary, Ash discovered the nature of the Paradox Pokémon's mysterious abilities. The researcher helped to develop units of Booster Energy, though their favored Sunny Day works just as well.Screamo levitates and zips around, being quite the frightening, speedy specimen who's quick to catch opponents off-guard with their momentum and frightening appearance. Their loud voice can conjure powerful Boomburst attacks, and they very much like to bite their foes with the various Fang moves. How terrifying!

This Pokémon is pretty Rash by nature.We first met each other on 14 June 2022, and it was in the Reverse World!They're somewhat vain!

Learned Moves: Countless others.Form Changes: Altered FormeDuring Ash's travels in Sinnoh, Ash had several fateful encounters with the Reverse World's Guardian; usually due to a wicked human's tampering with the Gods. Through their encounter with Zero, Ash proved himself a friend to Giratina, cementing what would become a lifelong friendship!They came into more frequent contact in Ash's adulthood, when they took to Ash's adoptive daughter Elaine and her rival, Trace, as well. From that point onward, Ash now knew he could contact them through any reflective surface.After becoming World Champion, Ash found himself wanting even greater challenges. But where did one go from there? Who else stood at such a pinnacle?Well, Ash wasn't alone in his loneliness, nor in much of his disposition in general. A protector, who'd overplayed his hand. A lover of all Pokémon, who went so far for that love. The strongest, who craved to become even stronger.Of all the Pokémon to relate to, Giratina was certainly unexpected. But, that was the nature of Pokémon. There's always another mystery to unravel!Ash and Giratina agreed to an all-out full battle in their own realm. It was a momentous, dizzying, distorted battle where Ash brought a full team. But ultimately, that advantage proved fruitless; Giratina's Pain Split undermined their efforts time and again, until Ash managed to unearth the second stage of their battle; Giratina's full, unbridled power. A battle that Ash entrusted to Greninja.With their full power and cunning, and their all-out signature Z-Move, Ash and Greninja claimed victory over one of the strongest Pokémon to exist.On Giratina's own plea, Ash attempted to catch them. Though, no ordinary Poké Ball would work. Ash was forced to call on an old friend in the former President Silph, who lent him a Master Ball. After acquiring it, Ash met with Giratina again, who allowed themselves to be caught, as their battle's win condition. They also entrusted Ash with the Griseous Orb, and their full power with it!Giratina is a dear friend of the Ketchum-Aniere-Tsumura family, and will likely be bonded to their bloodline for generations to come.

• Town Map

Important characters in Ash's life have entries here. Ordered chronologically from when they were met by Ash:

Name: Delia Ketchum
Age: 55
Occupation: Retired; Still technically owns the Pallet House.
Relationship: Biological MotherHaving raised him by herself from a young age, she put Ash as her greatest priority. When he was young, Ash was a handful who loved to pull pranks. When he witnessed Delia’s anguish over her difficult life, however, he changed his attitude on a dime, wanting to make her happy.Ash and his mother sometimes have more of a younger brother/older sister relationship, due to her relative immaturity at the time of his youth, and they often tease each other.She’s supported him through his countless journeys, and Ash returned the favor by moving out, to give her time to pursue her own dreams.Later in life, she's moved in with Ash, Dawn, and Serena on their estate, winding down from her intense career. Ash is fiercely defensive and boastful of Delia.

Name: Pikachu Ketchum
Age: 31
Occupation: Ash's Starter Pokémon
Relationship: Pokémon; Platonic SoulmateAsh’s number one partner. Pikachu was Ash’s very first Pokémon, and his best friend in the entire world. One could call them platonic soulmates, always meant to accompany the other.Pikachu has been with Ash through thick and thin, surmounting endless challenges and perils. They’re very often on the same page, and while they do have their own lives and friendships, are nigh inseparable.They’re fiercely protective of one another, and will lift each other towards their shared dream.

Name: Gary Oak
Age: 36
Occupation: Pokémon Professor
Relationship: Best Friend / Former RivalAsh’s oldest childhood friend.They spent a lot of time together in their youth.Though, for reasons unknown to Ash, Gary began to close himself off, and scorn and snub Ash at any given opportunity, birthing their bitter, mostly one-sided rivalry.After their first adventure, Gary seemed to humble himself a little, and they more appropriately became rivals aiming simply to surpass the other.This came to a head in Johto, where Ash finally defeated Gary in a full battle. Since that day, they’ve been more friends than rivals. They tease each other often, but they have each other’s backs.

Name: Misty Waterflower
Age: 36
Occupation: Indigo League Champion
Relationship: Best FriendThe first person Ash met on his journey, and easily among his best friends. Initially, Ash and Misty were often hostile towards one another, both of them immature and socially maladjusted. Over the course of their adventures, though, they became the best of friends.Misty is bold and opinionated, quick to give Ash what she believes is the truth, whether it's a criticism, or letting him know that he should stand up for himself, more. They tease each other and joke around a lot.Ash suggested she join the Elite Four. With some reluctance, she took the job, and she became his closest ally as his colleague. Over time, she secures a reputation as the strongest of Ash's Elites.Now, with Ash's retirement, she challenged Ash to succeed him properly, defeating him in a Title Challenge Match. She's Kanto's new Champion, allowing Ash to move on and live a (relatively) quiet life!If both of them team up against you... good luck!

Name: Brock Harrison
Age: 41
Occupation: Pokémon Doctor
Relationship: Best FriendAsh's second companion on his journey. Brock was leader of the Pewter City Gym, which Ash challenged for his first badge. Although he lost, and won afterwards on a fluke, Brock insisted he take the badge, and traveled with him and Misty.Brock was always the wise older brother figure in the group, cooking, cleaning, and providing advice to Ash and his friends. Traveling with Ash through four different regions, he was a solid rock in Ash's life; someone he could always rely on.Brock eventually left the group to focus on his new dream of being a Pokémon Doctor. He did join up on occasional ventures, though, accompanying Ash for his second Indigo League challenge.Brock eventually falls for the Alolan Kahuna, Olivia, finally putting his many daydreams of Joy and Jenny to rest. They settle down on Akala Island.He, Ash, and Misty, often visit each other in Kanto or Alola. He's a bit distant, preoccupied with his easygoing lifestyle, but he's always happy to lend a hand or an ear to Ash or his other friends.

Name: May Maple
Age: 33
Occupation: Influencer/Blogger/Part-time Contest Judge
Relationship: Bestie/GirlfriendBack when Ash first ventured to the Hoenn region, he befriended a beginning trainer named May, after accidentally frying her bike. As the story goes, they traveled together afterwards across the Hoenn region, along with her little brother, Max, and Brock. Subsequently, they toured Kanto while she competed in Contests, and Ash took on the Battle Frontier after completing the Hoenn League.May learned much from Ash as a relatively new trainer, but perhaps a little too much. Her battle style often reflected his, and prevented her from forming a style and identity of her own. After this, she decided to tour Johto alone. The two left on amicable terms; even meeting up during Sinnoh's Wallace Cup, and Max's entry in the Indigo League Conference afterwards.May grew up a successful Coordinator, and happily married her rival, Drew. However, things weren't so clear-cut... Like Ash, Dawn, and Serena, May was open to relationships, elsewhere, and something sparked between her and Ash! They live happy, committed lives with their spouses, but their solid friendship is a bit more than just flirtatious.They have lots in common; love of Pokémon, adventure, food, and new experiences. Whatever you call them, they're two peas in a Metapod!

Name: Dawn Tsumura
Age: 34
Occupation: Owner of Dizzie Boutique
Relationship: WifeAsh’s not-platonic-soulmate.Ash’s first experience with Dawn was her rescuing Pikachu and returning him. A very good start... After some bumps in the road. Ash and Dawn quickly established a strong chemistry as friends, feeling a strong drive to support and encourage the other.This blossomed into a romance with the same tone, that carried on for years, enduring through years of Ash and Dawn living separate lives. Both fiercely independent, they respect the other’s ambitions.That trial was rewarded, when they moved in together. Now a two-time Top Coordinator and former Kalos Queen, Dawn was content to start her own battle fashion emporium in Viridian City; Dizzie Boutique.After Team Rocket's defeat, Dawn challenges the Hoenn League to earn a Hall of Fame spot to prove her worthiness in battles amongst her high-ranking peers.She and Ash eventually settle down and have several children together; although they both contribute, she prides herself as the breadwinner in the family, supporting them and Ash's dream with her growing fashion + battle item empire.These two have only grown more compatible and affectionate with age, always supporting and uplifting one another. Ash loves Dawn fiercely, and will loudly make it known.

Name: Ben
Age: 22
Occupation: Dawn's Starter Pokémon
Relationship: SonAsh’s adoptive son, by his own decision. Empoleon evidently saw Ash and Dawn’s chemistry before anyone, as he’d claimed Ash as a father figure to Dawn’s mother figure, even as a Piplup.Ash loves that bird, and is happy to baby him. They’re pals, and tend to joke around together. If anyone presents a problem to Dawn, expect them to have a roast session that you can only understand half of.

Name: Hadassah
Age: 27
Occupation: Dawn's Secondary Ace
Relationship: Sister-in-lawIntroduced as one of Dawn’s pokémon, they shared their Sinnoh adventure, and Kanto, afterwards. They’d already established rapport in that time, where she was content to let Ash give her commands when Dawn was absent.Their friendship evolved when she and Pikachu started dating! As someone who makes his best friend happy, she quickly became a close friend to Ash.They have a lot in common in terms of personality and interests (particularly battles, and their favorite Electric Mouse) and occasionally conspire to surprise Pikachu for special occasions… or, just geek out about him in general. They’re bar buddies.

Name: Paul
Age: 36
Occupation: Sinnoh League Champion
Relationship: Forever RivalInitially, Ash's antithesis. The opposite of everything Ash stood for. A proving ground for his deeply held beliefs, that all pokémon were friends, and potential could always be nurtured.Over time, Paul became a fierce rival, who seemed to triumph over him, at almost every turn. Their rivalry became one of mutual respect, and Ash triumphed in their climactic battle at Lily of the Valley.While they're still rather different people, Ash and Paul share many deeply held convictions, that will surely bond them more, as time passes on.He'll always see Paul as a penultimate test for his skills and strength, and as Champion's, they'll likely be one another's greatest allies. Through both of these aspects, they become very good friends.Paul was Ash's final opponent and obstacle to being the world's greatest Master. Neither of them have it any other way.

Name: Bertha
Age: 86
Occupation: Retired; Former Sinnoh Elite Four
Relationship: Adoptive GrandmotherBertha met Ash while he was on his initial journey through Sinnoh, and eventually entertained his pleas for a battle. She used the battle to teach him the value in observation, and defeated him brutally.Months afterward, she happened upon Ash's rematch with Paul, and was impressed with his growth in skill. She requested to keep tabs with Ash in the future, challenging him again, in Celadon. She triumphed again, this time by a very narrow margin, however.Bertha and Ash came across a Team Rocket scheme, where she assisted Ash in thwarting it, and taught him a few tricks. This backfired, however, when Ash's meddling got him captured. Feeling a great deal of guilt, she allowed he and Dawn use of her vacation home to escape.Bertha's come to be a grandmotherly figure to Ash, very blunt and honest, but loving and prideful of him, all the same. They share a similar sense of humor and wit, when it comes to insults, as well as their love for battle.

Name: Rosemary
Age: 21
Occupation: Ash's Aura Guardian Partner / One of Ash's Aces
Relationship: DaughterOnce upon a time, Ash was given an egg. One that resonated with him, the moment he made contact. He felt a sudden urge to bond, and protect. Such was the task he’d been given by Riley.With nurturing and patience, the egg hatched, into a young, sensitive Riolu. Quickly dubbed Rosemary, or Rosa for short, the creature began to learn to navigate the world under her father and his teacher’s tutelage. Brash and stubborn from birth, she sought out evil to crush it at every turn, and quite enjoyed battle. She aided Ash in the Indigo League Conference, and both of his runs at the Indigo Champion’s League.Rosa ran into a roadblock when attempting Mega Evolution, finding herself completely unable to focus on anything but her opponent’s presence. She was told to return when she retrained her senses. Years down the line, she does just that, and masters Mega Evolution.Rosa is the next life and reincarnation of Sir Aaron's Lucario, which she and Ash learned when she ran off to the Tree of Beginning during a time of emotional turmoil.

Name: Bonabelle C. Meyer
Age: 24
Occupation: Kalos League Champion / Streamer
Relationship: BestieOne of the first two people Ash met in Kalos! Adventurous, fearless, and impetuous, little Bonnie reminded Ash a lot of himself, when he was her age. Despite Clemont being her definitive older brother, Ash formed something of a strong sibling-like bond with her; often getting into shenanigans without Clemont and Serena, and telling her wild tales of his adventures. Clemont would occasionally discourage this for putting wild ideas in her head; which he totally was; but Ash and Bonnie were difficult to keep under control separately, let alone together! What a disaster.Eventually, though, Bonnie was no longer that little squirt who wouldn't eat her carrots; she was a fully grown trainer, and terror, in her own right. She and Ash are very 'on-the-level' as a result; honest close friends who can talk to each other about pretty much anything. They're a couple of electric rodent wielding terrors, and will continue to be just that forever!

Name: Serena Aniere
Age: 36
Occupation: Co-owner of Dizzie Boutique / Former Kalos Queen
Relationship: WifeA childhood friend, turned unrequited admirer, turned close friend, turned lover. Serena met Ash when her mother dragged her along to Kanto for one of her Rhyhorn Racing pursuits, and had her attend Professor Oak's Summer Camp. The timid, out-of-place Serena found a friend and inspiration in a young Ash.Both children found themselves alone at camp, and became fast friends; promising to be friends forever! Sadly, Serena returned home.Roughly a decade later, good fortune had it that they'd meet again, while Ash was journeying in Kalos. He asked Serena to join his group, which she happily accepted. Serena's feelings for Ash resurged in full force, but he couldn't return them, having already found love in Dawn....At least, that was what they both believed, until the whole situation spiraled out of control, and they both confessed feelings for one another. Somehow, Dawn wasn't bothered at all! In fact, she rather wanted all of them to date.Serena couldn't turn down being with Ash, nor his wonderful girlfriend who's eerily similar to him!Although the three went separate ways after Kalos to pursue their dreams, their love never faded. Eventually, they would marry and live their lives supporting and loving one another! But not before Serena became Kalos Queen, and turned the Showcase industry upside down!Serena's moved in with Ash and Dawn, having fulfilled so many of her dreams under a wealth of accomplishments. She's overjoyed to be part of the family!Ash and Serena continue to support one another, playfully banter, and fuel one another's passions - as any enduring love should!

Name: Alain
Age: 38
Occupation: Kalos Elite Four
Relationship: Adoptive Brother/RivalA cherished friend and rival. Befriended during Ash’s Kalos journey, Ash quickly established himself as an overwhelming opponent that Ash was determined to beat. Their rivalry came to a boiling point at the Kalos League, where Ash still couldn't defeat him.Alain’s part in Team Flare was revealed shortly after, where Ash pleaded for him to forget his past and only look ahead. Seeing the turmoil in his friend, afterwards, Ash made him promise a rematch.Alain returned home with Ash, later, after helping Greninja destroy the evil vines about Kalos. During his time in Pallet Town, Alain found a mother in Delia, which... made him and Ash brothers! The young man from Kanto could not have been more thrilled if he tried.Alain's time with Ash and Delia helped him mellow out a little, and ease his troubles, revealing a slightly more playful, if not subdued side to him.
(Read: They were simultaneously good and bad influences.)Over the years, Alain has remained a close friend, family, and as always, a rival, showcasing indomitable strength. This time, on his own terms.

Name: Elaine Ketchum-Tsumura
Age: 22
Occupation: Founding Member of Project Genesis
Relationship: Adoptive DaughterIn his early adulthood, Ash found a young admirer in a girl from Pallet Town; Elaine! She seemed peppy, kind, and loved pokemon! But, she always seemed a bit troubled... Ash took mind to keep an eye on her.He looked out for Elaine, often, as did Dawn, when she was present. The two became more involved in her life, even scaring the living daylights out of adults who dared to mistreat her.Shortly before Elaine started her Pokémon journey, Ash and Dawn finalized adopting her, making them an official family! (Though, they were already family in spirit, don't you think?)Elaine journeyed the world in pursuit of mysterious legends and trails of information, curious about legends after finding the Mewtwo Diaries. She partnered with Uncle Gary occasionally, until they founded a new organization: Project Genesis. Its aim is to learn more about the many legendary and mythical Pokémon of the world, and bring humanity closer to them in a manner that's ethical and conscious of the world's balance.A whole decade later, and Elaine's come home! She currently lives in the Ketchum-Tsumura estate with her parents, siblings, and their Pokémon.Her bond with Ash has only grown stronger, but in nature, it hasn't changed much! He loves her endlessly, cracks jokes with her, and offers fatherly advice and comfort whenever it's needed. Even if he's a little embarrassing, sometimes!

Name: Chloe Cerise
Age: 15
Occupation: Research Fellow
Relationship: Honorary nieceAsh befriended a young Professor's Assistant, Ray Cerise, during perhaps the roughest point in his teenage years. Ray is now Kanto's leading Professor! A fact that his eldest daughter was reminded of far too often . . .Ash knew Chloe basically from the time she'd been born, and carved out a place as her "Uncle Ash." They shared a positive and affectionate relationship in her first years, but her bitterness towards her familial expectations expanded to Ash, as "just another Pokémon-obsessed weirdo." Just another extension of her dad. Although he never stopped caring for her, and tried to reach out, their relationship became strained for a couple years.This started to change after Chloe met her Eevee, and her worldview started to expand again. Ash became a trusted voice again, both in regards to her budding understanding of Pokémon, and more personal matters with her childhood friend, Goh. (But, you didn't hear that, here!)Since Chloe's rediscovered her love for Pokémon, their relationship has recovered! Not only does he give a helpful perspective to Chloe, but her bright and analytical insights often help her return the favor!

Name: Goh
Age: 15
Occupation: Project Genesis Chaser
Relationship: MenteeAsh first knew Goh as Chloe's young friend who wasn't very outgoing, but was otherwise extremely bright. The young child was the one to volunteer information about finding Pikachu's second Light Ball, when Ash sought out Cerise's wisdom! What a strong first impression to start with!Like Chloe, Goh shut in from the world for his own reasons and troubles, but that all changed on one fateful day. The legendary beasts of the seas, Lugia, made a surprise appearance in Vermilion's port! They'd come to see their trainer Ash, unbeknownst to the swarm of trainers trying to engage them.Most fell in an instant, but in a playful chase between the legend and their Chosen, an equally determined youth lunged from a nearby mountainside and found himself clinging to Lugia's tail. Who would have thought he'd find himself eye-to-eye with Kanto's Champion!?Ash and Goh shared a wonderous flight atop Lugia, bonding over their love of Pokémon. Afterwards, Ash vouched for Goh to become a Research Fellow at Cerise's lab. Cerise pondered the idea, but wanted the youth to prove himself first. He sent him on an introductory mission to Galar, with Ash as a chauffeur. Goh ended up catching his very first Pokémon; a Scorbunny! After watching Goh evolve to embrace a Pokémon who wasn't Mew, Ash gave Goh two thumbs-up upon their return!Although Ash and Goh operated separately from there, Ash has given him his counsel and even training many times. Between Ash's intuitive and instinctive wisdom, and Goh's more logical deductions, they often help one another expand their worldview. The kids are definitely alright!

Name: Azzy (Azelf)
Age: Since time immemorial
Occupation: Being of Willpower
Relationship: Chosen LegendDuring Ash's Sinnoh travels, he saw the apparition of Azelf on Lake Valor, and they ultimately called on his aid, along with Uxie and Mesprit, to save the Lake Guardians from Team Galactic. Their meeting was brief and temporary, with only a common goal.Many years later, Azelf and their siblings reached out for more human contact in their boredom, frequenting social media and visiting humans they trusted. Azelf, who dubbed herself Azzy, became a close friend with her Chosen, Ash. She's taken to adopting a human form, for convenience and to mingle more easily with mortals.She still carries scars of Team Galactic's actions, and prior human betrayal that have jaded her point of view towards humanity. Ash has pledged to help her scars heal, and help her become a better person in the process.

History headcanons:

- When Ash was a child, he befriended a Pichu while playing in the woods. Although Ash and that Pichu quickly forgot the occasion, it turned out to be fate; this Pichu would later become Ash's Pikachu. They only remember this in a joint dream, in the present day!

Friends and family headcanons:

- Although Ash loves all his friends dearly and won't prioritize them consciously, Misty and Brock are closest to him; more or less, his family. Wherever they are, he'll always feel at home.
- Ash has a tattoo on the back of each of his hands; one of the Boulder Badge, the other, the Cascade Badge, in honor of them. (Misty's tattoo is partially masked by Ho-oh's mark; fitting enough, since Ash met them and Misty on the same day.)
- Ash is rather close with Johanna, though Dawn's other family was somewhat cold to him, at first. Grandma Emiko detested his path as a trainer, but warmed up to him and his career path with time. Aunt Lena will always despise him, believing that as a man, he stymies Dawn's potential. Aunt Sophia isn't quite as opinionated, and gets along with Ash fine.
- Delia befriended Professor Kukui and Burnet through Ash, and found a place with them, romantically, over time. Ash is fine with this; it means his parents all get along!

Pokémon Headcanons:

- Ash can intuitively understand Pokemon because Pokemon think in deeds, not words. They find speaking frustrating, when they could instead be doing something. Ash can bridge that gap, because of his action-oriented thinking, giving him almost misreading-level intuition.
- In addition, Ash's Aura-powered telepathy and empathy with Pokémon he's bonded with has given him a great deal of insight into how Pokémon directly speak. Aside from being fluent in Pikachu and Greninja's lines, he'll recognize many words, expressions, and sentiments from other species he's frequently in contact with; his Pokémon and his wives', first and foremost.
- Pikachu's unusual strength is owed in majority to Ash's training and their bond, but his electric sacs are also unusually efficient for his species; a mutation lends to Pikachu's unbelievable electric power.
- Said mutation makes electric overloads even more dangerous to Pikachu; Zekrom's lightning not only reset his strength, but left small, lasting scars on his cheek pouches.
- Ash is a parental figure to quite a few of his Pokémon; particularly ones he's hatched. The sentiment isn't limited to hatches, however; Victini views him as a father, despite the latter being thousands of years his senior.
- Rosemary, Ash's Lucario, is autistic, and is an open advocate for autism awareness, especially among Pokémon. The occurrence wasn't well-documented for the longest, especially with most Pokémon unable to articulate their feelings with words. With her telepathy, though, bridged the gap between human and Pokémon understanding!
- Ash's Zoroark, Meema, views herself as a guardian to their 'Pack,' or family, and often mothers Ash as a result. This used to come into conflict with her belief that he was the top of a hierarchy, but Ash dissuaded her from that antiquated belief with time.
- Ash's Zorua, Mirage, is blind, and uses Extrasensory as a sort of echo-locator, like a Zubat would.
- After Team Rocket's defeat, Ho-oh quietly met with Ash, before their formal ceremony. She quietly dubbed Ash the Rainbow Hero, and gifted him with a painless fire on the back of his hand; it left a burn mark in the shape of the legendary, embuing him with several gifts; immunity to corruption, both spiritual and physical (making him immune to fatal poisoning), and the ability to call on Ho-oh, Entei, Raikou, and Suicune on command, using the mark. He only does this when necessary.
- Ash and Butterfree came across a Butterfreenite, making him the first documented Butterfree to Mega Evolve. During the same year, they entered a Mega Evolution Cup, which Ash and Butterfree famously won.

Personal Headcanons:

- Ash's voicelaim is Doug Erholtz; most closely matching Asuma.
- Ash has trained as an Aura Guardian, enabling him to sense Aura, use Aura Sphere, create barriers, and perform limited precognition, allowing him to sense intentions and avoid split-second danger. He's also capable of telepathy, if one possesses a strong enough bond with him. Thanks to this, he can understand all of his pokemon, and some of his friends'.
- Using said telepathy, Ash has taught himself to speak fluent Pikachu over the years, even without his Aura. He has a slightly less polished fluency in Pichu and Raichu.
- Ash is a talented singer and guitarist. He's released a number of songs under his name, collaborating with other artists, such as Roxie, Ryuki, and Yancy! (Many of them based on the canon anime's soundtrack, dub and sub.)
- Following countless electric attacks and other physical harm endured over the years, Ash has suffered minor damage to his nervous system. There are scattered spots on his body where he'll feel reduced or no sensation; particularly pain.
