Ash Ketchum
Gash is a black-haired adolescent boy who is the former trainer/best friend of Ling-Ling. A spoof of Pokémon's Ash Ketchum (the trainer of Pikachu, whom Ling-Ling is based on), Gash captures and trains battle monsters to fight using a red and white pyramid, a reference to Poké Balls. Several years ago, Gash ruined Ling-Ling's dreams of becoming a dancer by capturing him and taking his dancing shoes away, forcing him into a life of fighting.
