Ian Rorke
Ash's relationship with Ian was a form of extreme rivalry due to their conflicted personalities Ash was amazed how strong and powerful Ian is due to his wide experience as Pokemon Trainer and defeat Ash in his first Pokemon Battle and harshly criticized Ash ability as a Trainer this and Ash became greatly affected by his words strives to prove to him he a better Trainer

Aiden noted that Ash and Ian polar opposite of each other in term of personality ideal and in regard their beliefs of raising and training their Pokémon, Ash and Ian could't ignore each other if they try due to being rivals. Ash try his hardest to prove Ian wrong about his skills as Trainer due to seeing him as a Looser and a unskilled Trainer due to Ash's rash attitude and recklessness.

Ironically Ian and Ash similar in many ways Like Ash Ian was inspired become Pokemon Trainer and Ian does genuinely show care and respect for his Pokemon in spite of his many harsh treatments toward them and has strong sense of justice and greatly despise criminal and Pokemon Poacher who harm Pokemon most likely due to being the Son of Giovanni the Leader of Team Rocket.

Ash pride was greatly hurt after Ian defeated him in Indigo Plateau and criticized him that his abilities was far beyond Charizard and not being able to commanded it. After speaking with his Father Ash decide to learn from mistake and to improved himself and resolved to Defeat Ian once for all and catch up to him

Though their Rivalry continue throughout series where Ian often either taunt Ash or ignoring him where constantly desired Ian to acknowledge him and prove that his way raising and training is best way to make a Pokemon stronger but Ian still reject it as noted by Ash's Father Ian was afraid if Ian acknowledge Ash he would admit that he lack something that Ash has thereby trying keep ahead of Ash to avoid admitting this fact.
