But if you don’t know what we are talking about, here we explain everything about Ash Ketchum and his great journey in the world Pokemon.
Who is Ash Ketchum from Paleta Town?
Ash Ketchum is a 10-year-old boy from Paleta Town, a fictional location in the franchise’s anime and games. Pokemon. Just on his tenth birthday, like every child in the place, he has the opportunity to start his journey in the world of Pokémon, creatures that coexist with nature and humans, and are used for thousands of purposes, and that can be transported in some devices called pokeballs.
But Ash has spent his childhood watching battles of trainers fighting with their Pokemon in TV. He wants to be that: a master of Pokémon battles. In his town, Professor Oak, in charge of researching and managing Pokémon in his town, will be able to give him one of three pokémon: a Squirtlewater pokemon; Bulbasaur, plant; Y Charmanderof fire.
However, when it is his turn to start his journey, Ash he gets up late. She runs to the lab to receive the first creature from her, but they have all already been given to boys who arrived early. Thus, Professor Oak gives him a pokémon, which, although not fully trained, can help him start his journey: Pikachu, an electric pokémon.
Ash has no choice but to stay with him. It is then that the first conflict of the series is born: Pikachu he is not trained and does not want to listen to Ash, his trainer. But in the first chapter, the protagonist’s love and desire to protect his pokémon makes the electric creature change his mind and recognize the 10-year-old boy as his trainer.
Hence the couple Ash Pikachu meet more people, catch more Pokémon, and have thousands of adventures. Everything happens motivated by Ash’s desire to learn more about these creatures and beat each trainer in battles with Pokémon. Although for that he has to lose dozens of times.
