Ash's eye pupils were not visibly shown, his lighting bolt-like markings are tilted and slightly longer and his spiky hair is sharper.
Personality[]
Ash is determined to be a Pokemon master and gain the knowledge and skills of Pokemon. From the day he started his journey, Ash not only showed his determination but how much he cared for Pokémon, he was also very excitable but because he was still a new trainer he ran into some problems at the beginning. He still didn't know much about Pokemon as well as their types but did have knowledge of the Pokemon league itself. Ash wanted to catch more Pokémon than his rival Gary and gets so worked up when he teased him a lot. At the beginning of his journey, Ash was stubborn, hotheaded and was never the person who opened up to anyone for advice or being patient with them either, which was something that began to change overtime, but he did have his moments when he does listen to others on things that happened to help better himself as a Trainer. At first, Ash wanted to travel on his own with just his Pokémon but his travels with Misty and Brock changed his opinion, which helped him see things differently. While journeying through the Orange Islands Ash became a better trainer and not only won all of his badges fair and square but also defeated the champion of the Orange Islands showing how far he has come but still has a way to go to becoming a Pokémon Master.
Relationships[]
Friends[]
Misty[]
Ash and Misty
Ash met Misty the day he first started his journey when she pulled him out of the river while fishing. The two had a bad start as Misty thought Ash mistreated Pikachu but he insisted he's trying to get it to a hospital. She directed him to Viridian City, but with a flock of Spearow on his tail, he took her bike to escape, promising to return it much to her anger. After arriving in Viridian City, Misty had followed him there, she furiously chided Ash for her bike but after explaining what happened she softened a little and helped him beat Team Rocket. However Ash was annoyed by the fact that she was only following him because she wanted payback for her bike, this made him try and flee from her but she was persistent. Over the course of the journey, Ash and Misty continued to fight (some fights got violent), but she did become a mentor figure and a great friend to Ash as she watched his matches and saw him improve, but got annoyed with his antics. It's also worth noting the two have very different skill levels as Ash was a newbie while Misty was a Gym Leader (although it was really her sisters who ran the Gym). However after Misty received (or rather was chosen by) a newly hatched Togepi, she did start to soften and was kinder. She and Brock helped Ash train for the league, even making sure he did well which he did. Because they both care for each other Ash would actually become jealous when someone tried to impress Misty, who would react the same way when someone did that to Ash, ironically when they are teased about being a couple they both get defensive and deny it.
While at the league Misty cheered for him every step of the way, when Ash lost the league (because his Charizard was still being disobedient) she tried to cheer him up, but he wasn't having it and got into a big argument, one so intense that Pikachu had to step in with a Thunderbolt to calm things down. However, he soon apologized off-screen as he understood she was right about his immature behavior and was only trying to help him. After the league and a celebration, Professor Oak sent Ash to pick up a GS ball from Professor Ivy. She went along with him to the Orange Islands where they parted ways with Brock (who wanted to stay with Ivy). They were soon caught by Team Rocket which caused a slight detour. After landing on an island, they met Tracey Sketchit and got to see the many different islands while also challenging the four Orange Island gyms, and was amazed when Ash beat the Orange Island Champion. After returning to Kanto, the friends were surprised that Brock was back and he would not reveal why he came back, but they were glad to see him again. The two would continue to travel on Ash's next journey to the Johto Region.
Brock[]
Ash and Brock
As the very first Gym Leader, Ash and Brock had a tough start, Ash was determined to beat Brock, Ash however learned from a mysterious man (who happened to be Brock's father) explaining to Ash that Brock wanted to travel but after he left, Brock not only had to take over as Gym Leader but look after his brothers and sisters. After Ash received his first Gym Badge (by default), Brock joined Ash on his journey to help him with his battling while leaving his father in charge of the Gym and his siblings. Overall Brock became a great mentor and friend to Ash, while he and Ash fought a few times, it was only a brief moment. Both Ash and Brock care for their Pokemon and Ash enjoys Brock cooking, although Ash was surprised by Brock's flirting with girls. After the Indigo League ended, they were sent on an errand for Professor Oak who asked they pick up an item from Professor Ivy. After spending some time with her, Brock wanted to stay and keep things in order, although he was also keen on Professor Ivy. After Ash and Misty returned to Kanto they were both shocked to find Brock back home, Delia explains that Brock showed up a few weeks prior and just put himself to work around the house. When asking why he came back and what happened to Professor Ivy, he refused to even talk and just became depressed, to this day no one knows what happened. With him back, he agreed to accompany Ash to the Johto Region with Misty.
Tracey[]
Ash and Tracey
When Ash and Misty had made an unexpected detour while going back to Kanto, they ended up landing on a resort island and saving a Lapres from a trio of bullies. During this, Tracey jumped in stating how poorly taken care of Pokemon the trio had but praised Ash and Misty's Pokemon. After helping them get Lapres to the Pokemon Center, Tracey explained on this island many trainers are getting ready to challenge the Orange Crew, a series of Gym Leaders around the Orange Islands. This inspired Ash to challenge the Gyms and Tracey even offered to come along which Ash was thrilled by. Ash was surprised to learn that Professor Oak was famous and that Tracey idolized him. The two have an excitement and enjoyment of Pokemon, with Tracey even trying to copy Ash's catch pose (which Ash helped him do right) although at times Tracey is more calm than Ash. Regardless both Ash and Tracey learn from each other both being mentors to the other. After winning the Orange League, Tracey came back to Kanto with them where he met Delia and even Brock who unexpectedly returned. He also met Professor Oak and was excited to hear his thoughts on the sketches. Afterwards, rather than traveling with Ash to Johto, Tracey stayed with Professor Oak becoming his assistant but wished Ash and friends luck in the Johto league.

Even though Ash was annoyed by Gary, he did want to beat Gary or rather earn his respect. When Gary went to challenge the Viridian City Gym Leader, none of his Pokemon could beat the third Pokémon he even tried to warn Ash but they did not believe him. When Ash won the Gym Badge, which Gary actually impressed by and made him somewhat soften. During the Indigo League, Gary was knocked out early but he still did not see Ash as his better. After Ash traveled around the Orange Islands and won, he returned to Pallet Town and told Gary about this but Gary just stated the Indigo League was in the past and he had been training a lot since last time (even having a new and strong Eevee). After learning that Gary was going to Johto, Ash wanted to go there and beat Gary at last.

Because of that, it became just like its original trainer, Damian. For it began to disrespect Ash and refused to obey him, it was even stated that it's disobedience may be because of Ash's skill level as a trainer. When it evolved into Charizard, their relationship got worse, although it did obey Ash sometimes and still cared about him, as it would use Flamethrower on him to prevent him from recalling it, to irritate him or as a sign of its defiance. Ash not only got annoyed with that habit, but he also would get annoyed with it when Charizard would embarrass him.
