Ash Ketchum (Journey)

Ash Ketchum (Satoshi サトシ) is the main protagonist of Pokémon Journey. Originally an average trainer from Pallet Town who wanted to become a Pokémon Master, through experiences in the various regions and competitions he has engaged in, he truly understands the message and meaning of what it means to be a Master.

Throughout various high profile incidents involving Mythical Pokémon and villainous organisations, including an very persistent group of Team Rocket Grunts, he has achieved some level of worldwide popularity, gaining the nickname Mister Mystic (Misuta Misutikku (Dan'na Fugushi) 氏 神秘的), because of his involvement in seemingly impossible events. In the research community, his unique training style and fascinating psychological analysis have marked him as the "Super Trainer", an interesting subject who may participate in very exciting research into the nature and potential of Pokémon.

Having participated in the Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh Leagues, defeating two Battle Frontiers and having either been indirectly or directly involved in the toppling of four high-level dangerous organisations, he is currently travelling the Unova Region, hoping to finally achieve victory in the Unova League. However, due to a near-fatal encounter with a Zekrom, Ash is experiencing amnesia, with a new personality self described as the Observer (Obuzābā オブザーバー) currently residing as the primary personality within his consciousness.
