Ashley

Ashley is the gym leader of Shadowcove city and the 7th gym leader in Pokemon Rainbow.

In the anime
Ashley is the Shadowcove city gym leader. She started with a Mankey that her dad caught that evolved into a Primeape later. After travelling through Hoenn and Johto she became interested in Dark type pokemon. Ashley is seen being saved by Ash when she’s chased by an angry Tyranitar she was trying to catch. She seems to be very grateful for this and tells him she’s the city’s gym leader. In their battle Ash wins and earns himself the Shadow badge. When Ash meets the Telekeno city gym leader Jonathon the leader tells him that he has won every battle against Ashley despite the type disadvantage as Jonathon uses psychic pokemon. Ashley’s personality in pokemon battles is similar to Ash’s, plus their names are similar.
