Ash's Ketchum (Alternative Version)

Ash Ketchum is the main male protagonist in the Pokemon (Alternative Version) series.

Character
Ash is the second born child of Delia, his father being Red Ketchum. His main goal in life is to be the world's greatest Pokémon Master, much like his father. At some point in his early life, Ash went on a field trip in a rainy forest and got lost. Scared to the point of tears, he was forced to hide in a hollow tree trunk. A group of local Pokémon joined him and cheered him up, which was partially what motivated him to become a Pokémon Trainer. Ash also enrolled in Professor Oak's Pokémon Summer Camp when he was young. One day, another camper named Serena got lost in the forest and wounded her leg after getting startled by a Poliwag. Ash, who was looking for the Poliwag, came to her rescue and wrapped a handkerchief around the wounded knee to brace it. He then helped her up and guided her out of the forest. At some point before starting their journeys, Ash was friends with Gary Oak until they both fished out a Poké Ball on both their lines. After arguing about who would keep it, they broke it in two, each keeping one half as a reminder of that day.

Ash is always eager to try new things, especially if he can do them together with his Pokémon.

Pokémon
As a Trainer, Ash has caught and befriended a sizeable number of Pokémon over the course of his life.

On the advice, Ash actively recycles his team of six Pokémon through the ones he manages to catch.
