==Personality==
  
==Personality==
  +
Ash became a lot more mature and skilled in the Sinnoh region. He was a mentor to Dawn just like May and he always cheered her up when she feels down from her contests which shows a development in his character. He is less of a hothead, but shows it sometimes when Pokémon are mistreated. He sometimes has that childish excitement when it comes to battling and catching Pokémon. He is open for advice and a lot more patient. Ash also rarely argues with his companions and rivals because he's grown a lot, but when he does he easily forgives them and moves on. Still, Ash has a long way to go before he becomes a Pokémon Master.
−
Since entering the Sinnoh region, Ash is less of a hot head when it came to Pokémon battles but kept it when Pokémon were being mistreated while still keeping his other traits. Also, Ash is more open up to advice and is more patient with others. Ash is beginning to be less cocky due to meeting a rival who only wanted to bring the power out of a Pokémon, Paul, and is beginning to take some of his rivals more seriously like he was for Gary while keeping his love for Pokémon. Ash is once again in a role of mentor for an another rookie trainer and coordinator named Dawn, much like he was for May.

After receiving new clothes from his mother in the mail, Ash gained a new rival in a Trainer named [[Paul]]. Later in the season, Ash misses meeting [[Team Galactic]] due to moving on with his journey too soon.

His final Sinnoh acquisition came when he adopted Paul's [[Ash's Infernape|Chimchar]] by the end of the season.

Continuing his journey in Sinnoh, Ash managed to beat [[Byron (anime)|Byron]], winning the Mine Badge and [[Candice (anime)|Candice]], winning the Icicle Badge. After his victory over Candice at the Snowpoint Gym, Ash briefly reunited with Brandon from the Battle Pyramid back in Kanto's Battle Frontier and witnessed a full 6-on-6 battle between him and his rival Paul. It was then after that battle that it was Ash's turn for his full battle with Paul, which occurred at Lake Acuity. However, Ash was not victorious in his battle with Paul, even after Chimchar evolved into Monferno. Along the trip to [[Sunyshore City]], Ash and his friends encounter International Policeman [[Looker (anime)|Looker]], and were recruited to help stop the plans of Team Galactic as the three of them were chosen to share a bond with the three Lake Spirit Pokémon, during which Brock managed to find [[Uxie]]. Managing to find Team Galactic in the middle of creating a new universe with the captive Lake Trio controlling [[Palkia]] and [[Dialga]], Ash, Dawn, and Brock freed the trio and Team Galactic was arrested while their leader vanished into the collapsing new world, effectively disbanding Team Galactic. Sometime after that, Ash gives Gliscor to the Air Battle Master named [[McCann]] for some training and has caught himself a [[Ash's Gible|Gible]] which was learning [[Draco Meteor]].

After the Team Galactic incident, Ash entered the [[Sinnoh League]] after beating [[Volkner (anime)|Volkner]] and earning the Beacon Badge. He also reunited with Jasmine from the Olivine Gym back in Johto before heading to Lily of the Valley. Taking a different approach in this League [[RS126: Like a Meowth to a Flame|than he did in Hoenn]], Ash combined his previous captures with his current Pokémon to form well-balanced teams of new and old. The Sinnoh League was one of the hardest and most intense Leagues he ever competed in, as he had rivals, Paul and Barry, to compete with, and a mysterious trainer who joined with the [[Mythical Pokémon ]][[Darkrai]]. He battled against most of his rivals, save for Barry, who battled Paul and lost, so Ash's next match was against Paul. The battle was intense as Paul showed Pokémon that he didn't normally use while Ash had reassembled his team of six from their earlier battle at [[Lake Acuity]]. The fight came down to [[Paul's Electivire]] and Ash's Infernape. Despite taking heavy damage, Infernape won the match for Ash with its ability [[Blaze]]. After defeating Paul, Ash faced an opponent other Trainers in the League dreaded to face as he was hard to defeat: the Trainer with the [[Darkrai]], [[Tobias]]. After losing three of his Pokémon to it, Ash was able to defeat Tobias' Darkrai with Sceptile and even knocked out [[Tobias' Latios]] with Pikachu. However, as the rest of Ash's Pokémon had fainted, he lost the match and was eliminated. To this day, the Sinnoh League remains Ash's most impressive performance in a Pokémon League Tournament: he reached the Top 4 - the farthest he'd ever gotten in ''any'' Pokémon League - and was the only one of Tobias' opponents to defeat two of his Pokémon, let alone his Darkrai. After the Sinnoh League, Ash bides farewell to Dawn as she wished to continue entering contests, and also parted ways with Brock, his oldest friend, and longest-running traveling companion, for the final time, as Brock now wished to become a Pokémon Doctor.

The fight came down to [[Paul's Electivire]] and Ash's Infernape. Despite taking heavy damage, Infernape won the match for Ash with its ability [[Blaze]]. After defeating Paul, Ash faced an opponent other Trainers in the League dreaded to face as he was hard to defeat: the Trainer with the [[Darkrai]], [[Tobias]]. After losing three of his Pokémon to it, Ash was able to defeat Tobias' Darkrai with Sceptile and even knocked out [[Tobias' Latios]] with Pikachu. However, as the rest of Ash's Pokémon had fainted, he lost the match and was eliminated. To this day, the Sinnoh League remains Ash's most impressive performance in a Pokémon League Tournament: he reached the Top 4 - the farthest he'd ever gotten in ''any'' Pokémon League - and was the only one of Tobias' opponents to defeat two of his Pokémon, let alone his Darkrai. After the Sinnoh League, Ash bide farewell to Dawn as she wished to continue entering contests, and also parted ways with Brock, his oldest friend and longest-running traveling companion, for the final time, as Brock now wished to become a Pokémon Doctor.

For an overview of similar named pages, see Ash Ketchum (disambiguation).

A trainer from Pallet Town, aspiring to become a Pokémon Master, Ash Ketchum is the main character of Pokémon the Series.

Appearance

Like with his journey to the Hoenn region, Ash appeared with another new outfit, consisting of a black jacket with a white collar and yellow stripe, a white short-sleeved undershirt, blue cargo jeans, black and red sneakers, and his hat's Poké Ball symbol is blue.

Ash's spiky hair is slightly shorter and slightly dull, and his lighting bolt-like markings are short and slightly big.

Personality

Ash became a lot more mature and skilled in the Sinnoh region. He was a mentor to Dawn just like May and he always cheered her up when she feels down from her contests which shows a development in his character. He is less of a hothead, but shows it sometimes when Pokémon are mistreated. He sometimes has that childish excitement when it comes to battling and catching Pokémon. He is open for advice and a lot more patient. Ash also rarely argues with his companions and rivals because he's grown a lot, but when he does he easily forgives them and moves on. Still, Ash has a long way to go before he becomes a Pokémon Master.

Although they weren't friends due to their beliefs of raising Pokémon, Ash and Paul could't ignore each other if they tried, due to being rivals. Ash tried his hardest to get his respect from Paul, but due to seeing him as a weak trainer for bonding with Pokémon over training with strength and power, Paul disrepected Ash. During their full battle in the Lily of the Valley Conference, Ash greatly defeated Paul and gained respect from him, although he gained some when he heard that Ash beat the Kanto Battle Frontier, which led them to form a small friendship.

During their time together, Ash and Torterra relationship grew as they became very close with each other. When it evolved into Grotle, Ash helped it recuperate the loss of its speed and train it very hard to help it became stronger in hopes of getting some of it speed back which worked as it learn a move that got some of it back.

Ash and Infernape formed a close bond with each other. Also, Ash would risk his safety to protect Infernape. Ash was able to help Infernape become stronger as he helped him control his Blaze ability during its evolution line. After helping him gain control of its Blaze ability, Ash was very proud of Infernape. Ash used Infernape in a lot of his battles, due to him being one of his ace battlers.

After his journey through Sinnoh ended, Ash left Infernape in Professor Oak's care but was happy to reunite with him when he came to Pallet Town for a visit. During one of his visits, Ash finds out through Professor Oak that Infernape has been picking fights with his other Fire-type Pokémon and has left the lab. Ash goes looking for Infernape and was able to find him with Gary's help then teams up with him against Moltres.

Although he has a good relationship with Gliscor, Ash sometimes gets annoyed with it sometimes due to it falling on him but only does it to show affection towards him and even does it before and after evolving. Ash left Gliscor with someone else for a while to help it become stronger but reunite with it during the League. After the League was over, Ash left Gliscor with Professor Oak but is happy to reunite with it when he comes home for a visit.

Ash and Gible

Ash and Gible.

Ash first encountered Gible where it was a wild Pokémon with Old Lady Wilma. After visiting it, Gible had started following Ash, presumably having an interest in the young trainer. Ash was later reunited with Gible who made himself known by biting on his head. Seeing that Gible wanted to join him, Ash accepted him as he became the sixth and last Pokémon he caught in Sinnoh. After his Sinnoh journey ended, Ash left Gible with Professor Oak but he does like seeing it again when he comes to Pallet Town for a visit.

Ash with his Sinnoh and Original companion

Ash and Brock with their new companion, Dawn.

Departing for Sinnoh, Ash once again left his previous captures from the Hoenn Region at Professor Oak's laboratory, with the exception of his Aipom, who'd snuck along. After arriving in Sinnoh by boat and reuniting with Brock, he gained yet another new traveling companion in Dawn, a confident girl interested in following in her mother's footsteps as a Pokémon Coordinator. Before receiving new clothes from his mother in the mail, Ash gained a new rival in a Trainer named Paul. Later on his travels, Ash misses meeting Team Galactic due to moving on with his journey too soon. He won his first two Sinnoh Gym Badges: a Coal Badge from Roark and a Forest Badge from Gardenia. Ash encountered J, who temporarily kidnapped Pikachu by turning it into stone. Ash's first Sinnoh capture was a Starly which evolved into Staravia, and a Turtwig. His third Sinnoh acquisition came when he adopted Paul's Chimchar.

Ash continued battling and earning badges while Dawn continued to earn contest ribbons. They also encountered Team Galactic and tried to stop them from stealing the Adamant Orb. During this time, Ash earns his fifth Gym Badge. For some time, Ash had to wait for Gym Leader Fantina to return to her Gym in Hearthome City in order to challenge her. Ash reunited with May during the Wallace Cup, and took part as a coordinator once again, per Hoenn Pokémon League Champion/Contest Master Wallace's request. Late one night with Pikachu, he saw the spirit of Azelf rise out of the lake the contest was being held at. He tied with Maylene, but earned a Cobble Badge from her and defeated both Crasher Wake and Fantina for the Fen and Relic Badges. He also acquired a new rival in Barry, a somewhat clumsy boy who insists on fining people. Ash acquired a few more Pokémon during his travels; at the suggestion of Zoey, he traded his Aipom for Dawn's Buizel, the only trade so far he hasn't reversed; his Turtwig evolved into Grotle; and he caught a Gligar which became a Gliscor.

Continuing his journey in Sinnoh, Ash managed to beat Byron, winning the Mine Badge and Candice, winning the Icicle Badge. After his victory over Candice at the Snowpoint Gym, Ash briefly reunited with Brandon from the Battle Pyramid back in Kanto's Battle Frontier and witnessed a full 6-on-6 battle between him and his rival Paul. It was then after that battle that it was Ash's turn for his full battle with Paul, which occurred at Lake Acuity. However, Ash was not victorious in his battle with Paul, even after Chimchar evolved into Monferno. Along the trip to Sunyshore City, Ash and his friends encounter International Policeman Looker, and were recruited to help stop the plans of Team Galactic as the three of them were chosen to share a bond with the three Lake Spirit Pokémon, during which Brock managed to find Uxie. Managing to find Team Galactic in the middle of creating a new universe with the captive Lake Trio controlling Palkia and Dialga, Ash, Dawn, and Brock freed the trio and Team Galactic was arrested while their leader vanished into the collapsing new world, effectively disbanding Team Galactic. Sometime after that, Ash gives Gliscor to the Air Battle Master named McCann for some training and has caught himself a Gible which was learning Draco Meteor.

After the Team Galactic incident, Ash entered the Sinnoh League after beating Volkner and earning the Beacon Badge. He also reunited with Jasmine from the Olivine Gym back in Johto before heading to Lily of the Valley. Taking a different approach in this League than he did in Hoenn, Ash combined his previous captures with his current Pokémon to form well-balanced teams of new and old. The Sinnoh League was one of the hardest and most intense Leagues he ever competed in, as he had rivals, Paul and Barry, to compete with, and a mysterious trainer who joined with the Mythical Pokémon Darkrai. He battled against most of his rivals, save for Barry, who battled Paul and lost, so Ash's next match was against Paul. The battle was intense as Paul showed Pokémon that he didn't normally use while Ash had reassembled his team of six from their earlier battle at Lake Acuity. The fight came down to Paul's Electivire and Ash's Infernape. Despite taking heavy damage, Infernape won the match for Ash with its ability Blaze. After defeating Paul, Ash faced an opponent other Trainers in the League dreaded to face as he was hard to defeat: the Trainer with the Darkrai, Tobias. After losing three of his Pokémon to it, Ash was able to defeat Tobias' Darkrai with Sceptile and even knocked out Tobias' Latios with Pikachu. However, as the rest of Ash's Pokémon had fainted, he lost the match and was eliminated. To this day, the Sinnoh League remains Ash's most impressive performance in a Pokémon League Tournament: he reached the Top 4 - the farthest he'd ever gotten in any Pokémon League - and was the only one of Tobias' opponents to defeat two of his Pokémon, let alone his Darkrai. After the Sinnoh League, Ash bides farewell to Dawn as she wished to continue entering contests, and also parted ways with Brock, his oldest friend, and longest-running traveling companion, for the final time, as Brock now wished to become a Pokémon Doctor.

Pokémon

On hand

Ash was given Pikachu by Professor Oak as his Starter Pokemon, in the Kanto region, as the other three had already been taken, one by Gary Oak. Originally, Pikachu would not listen to Ash and constantly shock him. However, after accidentally angering a flock of Spearow, Pikachu had a change of heart when he saw Ash defend him. Since then, Pikachu has assisted and been very successful in many of Ash's battles and over time has adopted Ash's mannerisms. Pikachu does not like to be in his Poké Ball, so he stays out all the time, often riding on Ash's shoulder or head.

During its Gligar stage, Gliscor was a fairly weak Pokémon, not knowing many attacks and thus not being very strong, all due to its level.
