All about Ash Ketchum – his Pokemon, friends, rivals and more

Those that are familiar with the Pokemon animation know that the main character and trainer is Ash Ketchum from Pallet Town. The show basically talks about his journey in the Pokemon world to becoming a Pokemon master. For those that are fans of the animation and Pokemon in general, this hub will be a very fun read. Those that don't know much about the show should read this hub and discover the fun world of Pokemon trainers, breeders, coordinators and more.

Ash Ketchum's main Pokemon and best friend is a Pikachu. Pikachu was Ash's starter Pokemon that he got from professor Oak's laboratory when he started his journey. At first, the electric mouse didn't seem to like his new trainer at all and laughed at Ash's attempts to catch a wild Pokemon by himself. However, Ash eventually gained Pikachu's trust and they became best friends. He didn't like to be in a Pokeball so he was kept outside with Ash all the time. Over time, Pikachu became very strong because of its frequent training and battling. Overall, Pikachu is a loyal friend and Pokemon to Ash.

Ash Ketchum's strongest Pokemon: No doubt, Ash's strongest Pokemon would have to be his Charizard. This Pokemon has defeated many major opponents for Ash. He is still training with other Charizards to better himself. Pikachu is also a strong Pokemon because it has defeated many strong opponents for Ash in gym and league battles. A very strong Snorlax appeared in the orange islands; Ash captured it to prevent him from eating all the fruits on the islands. This powerhouse eater is extremely strong and won many battles for Ash Ketchum. Recently, Ash caught a Gible, a very strong and rare dragon type Pokemon in the Sinnoh region. When Gible reaches his final evolution, it would be very interesting because it is already a pretty strong battler as a Gible. I don't understand why Ash didn't take him to the Unova region for more training. So, in my opinion, Ash's Charizard, Pikachu, Gible and Snorlax are his most powerful Pokemon. However, Ash also has other Pokemon that are quite powerful too. I can't wait until Ash trains his Gible and it evolves into a powerful Garchomp.

Aside from these major powerhouses, Ash has other Pokemon that are pretty strong as well. Ash's Heracross, his most powerful bug type Pokemon, is quite strong and defeated Pokemon that have an advantage over it. Sceptile is a very powerful grass type Pokemon that is able to defeat a Darkari, legendary Pokemon owned by Tobias in the Sinnoh league. It is a fully evolved and prideful Pokemon that fights very hard for its trainer. Ash's Infernape is quite strong and was able to finally defeat its rival Electivire and former trainer Paul. However, it needs more training because it has not quite developed its true strength yet. Ash's other Pokemon also trains very hard to better themselves and win battles for Ash.

Ash Ketchum's battle style: His battle style depends on the situation; Ash does not plan or try to make strategies ahead of time. He is more of a go with the flow type trainer and comes up with unconventional yet effective tactics to win the battle. Ash doesn't just go for particularly powerful Pokemon like some of his rivals, he tends to train all types of Pokemon that comes his way. Ash relies on the bonds that he has with all of his Pokemon to gain the upper hand / win a battle. He overcame lots of strong trainers with even legendary Pokemon with his experience and skill. Ash is definitely on the road to becoming a Pokemon master.

Ash Ketchum's Pokemon capture style: One of Ash's main capture styles is go with the flow. A lot of time, Ash's potential Pokemon see how much Ash cares for it and decides to join his team without any battling. Other times, Ash battled Pokemon in order to capture it because they were causing him or other people problems. Unlike his rivals that concentrate on building up power, Ash never really went after a particularly breed of powerful Pokemon.

Ash Ketchum's friends and travel companions: In every region that Ash traveled, he had at least two other companions with him. This makes the animation that much more interesting. If he had traveled by himself all the time, Ash would missed out on lots of excitement and chances to know other people's Pokemon. Out of all of his companions, Brock is the closet to him and the only one that traveled with Ash frequently.

Ash Ketchum's rivals: Ash had lots of rivals throughout his journey as a Pokemon trainer. When he first started, his neighbor and professor Oak's grandson Gary became his main rival. Due to experience that he gained gradually as a trainer, he was finally able to defeat Gary in a major battle. There are other rivals after Gary; Paul is a trainer that concentrated on power as his signature way of training. Ash's main rivals from the past, Gary and Paul, have earned respect for Ash and his training style once they were finally defeated.

Ash Ketchum's character and personality: Ash is a very nice person and Pokemon trainer. He loves to help other people and Pokemon in time of need. Many of his Pokemon joined his team when they saw how much Ash cared about them and risked his own life to save them. When it comes to his personality, Ash likes to train hard to make moves perfect and ready for major battles. Ash relies on the bonds that he has with his Pokemon along with skills to pull out a win in tough situations.
