Tracey Sketchit

Tracey Sketchit (Japanese: ケンジ Kenji) is a character from Pokémon the Series. He is a Pokémon watcher and a former traveling companion of Ash Ketchum who currently works at Professor Oak's Laboratory as an assistant to Professor Oak. Tracey made his debut appearance in The Lost Lapras.
==Overview==
Tracey is one of Ash's friends, who he met on his trip to the Orange Islands. He specializes in Pokémon watching; i.e. he draws pictures of Pokémon in their natural habitat with surgical precision. Tracey primarily draws Pokémon, but there are several human subjects scattered around his various sketchbooks. Likewise, he is a huge fan of Professor Oak.
==Skills==
Tracey can predict an opponent's moves based on having seen the set-up motions before and get a counterattack going immediately. In his initial appearance, he was able to discern upbringing problems with a group of trainers' Pokémon, and gauge how strong and well-conditioned Pikachu was with but a mere precursory glance.

==Trivia==
*Tracey has spent the least number of episodes traveling with Ash out of all his traveling companions, accompanying him for only 33 episodes, which comprised the entire Orange Islands arc (EP084-EP116).
*Despite this, Tracey has appeared in more Japanese opening sequences after his retirement from the main cast than any of Ash's other friends with a total of 10. He is featured in 11 overall, which places him just behind Brock, who is featured in 12.
*Tracey is Ash's only friend with an officially revealed last name.
*Tracey is the only main character whose Pokémon have produced an Egg.
*In the original Japanese version, Tracey's sketchbook has a Poké Ball symbol on the bottom right-hand corner and some writing in the top left-hand corner. This is painted out in the dub for unclear reasons.
*Tracey is the only male main character who has no known relatives.
*In the Swedish dub, Tracey speaks in a Stockholm accent and adds "seru" at the end of a lot of sentences in his first few episodes. This fades out over time.
