Ash's Samurott (Aura)

Ash's Oshawott was the second Pokémon that Ash Calem Ketchum obtained in the Unova region.

Personality and characteristics
Oshawott's behavior is similar in a way to many of Ash's past Pokémon, notably Aipom and Bayleef as a Chikorita, often attention-seeking and sometimes interfering. This was first shown when he wanted to travel with Ash, he jealously knocked Pikachu off Ash's shoulders and pretended that he was as close as Ash was to Pikachu. Then, when Ash was at the Pokémon Battle Club battling another Trainer, he came out of his Poké Ball, even though Ash had already clearly chosen Pikachu. However, he promptly changed his mind to battle when he realized that his opponent was Dewott, a Pokémon of his own evolved form. He has done this many other times, which also shows that Oshawott loves to battle, but only against opponents he thinks he can win against.

Oshawott acts proud and is a little boastful, but sometimes he can't back it up. He acts a little dramatic when things go wrong, or when he doesn't get his way. Like Ash's Aipom again, he seems to be a bit hyperactive. Oshawott also takes care of his scalchop, as he panics whenever he loses it and when he threw it down in anger he was happy afterwards when he picked it up and found out he hadn't done any major damage to it. He also gets very angry when someone steals his scalchop, as shown when Ash's Scraggy took his scalchop. He is also shown to be quite lazy sometimes, as shown when he didn't want to battle Lenora's Watchog after just being sent out by Roar. He also seems to be a little flirtatious, as seen where he fell in love with a wild Emolga and where he fell in love with a Purrloin that he thought was female. He was also enamoured with the dancers at a Pokémon Musical, wandering down to the stage, despite Ash telling him not to. He was briefly in love with a Vanilluxe until she froze his head. He also fell for a Meloetta, and later he was enamoured by Dawn's Buneary, until he found out she liked Pikachu. He would always get very jealous whenever another Pokémon is flirting with the Pokémon he likes as seen when Dawn's Piplup flirts with Meloetta.

He is also shown to be quite gluttonous, occasionally stealing food from friends and strangers. He mostly did this to Pignite when Pignite was a Tepig and continued even after Tepig evolved. This type of action even started a rivalry between the two Unova starters when they started fighting. Other instances included when Oshawott was eating berries belonging to Beartic and Cubchoo and consuming some apples belonging to Garbodor and Trubbish. He shows little hesitation in doing so and no regret afterwards, until he is caught, usually causing trouble for Ash and the other Pokémon. Sometimes Oshawott can pop out of his Poké Ball whenever he wants to battle, help out Ash and friends or do something else.
