## Personality

Ash is very determined to be a good Pokémon trainer and form strong bonds with Pokemon His main goal in life is to be the world's greatest Pokémon Master. He is shown to have a strong love for Pokémon, usually helping and befriending Pokémon he meets on his long journey. He doesn't like trainers who mistreat Pokémon He is a role model for many people such as May, Dawn, N, and Serena. Ash never changes his strategy of all-out attacking and using various Moves to defeat other Pokémon. Ash is generally kind, compassionate, and brave, but can be stubborn, short-tempered, impatient, cocky, reckless, and impulsive at times. Ash is very determined and is very passionate about raising and training Pokémon, which is that he is incredibly selfless. He will often go to extraordinary lengths to earn a Pokémon's trust and respect and to better understand a Pokémon that he sees as troubled. He is also very fair-minded and trusting, a true testament to his good-natured character.

Ash had a bit of an inferiority complex, as well as some form of personal pride, most likely stemming from his rivalry with Gary. As a result, he had some bad habits, such as shamelessly boasting of his skill if he were ever on a winning streak, and becoming angered easily if he were personally insulted. These traits were harshly criticized and ridiculed by Ian calling him a loser who fails to see his own fault and weakness. Ultimately Ash eventually realized the most important for Pokemon Trainer is to establish a strong bond with Pokemon and started learning from his own mistake and began to outgrow this trait especially after defeating Gary at the Silver Conference.

From his long rivalry against Ian and his time traveling in various regions, Ash has undergone many developments during his journey and has changed a great deal particularly in regards to his skills at Pokémon training, but his earnestness, rashness, and determination have remained. Never straying from his goal, he has remained loyal to his friends, family, and supporters, but most of all his Pokémon. Ash became a great Trainer by learning to find and use the inner strength of each of his Pokémon by bonding with them. During the Indigo Plateau where he harshly criticized by Ian for failing to establish an equal relationship with Charizard upon its, evolution Ash was completely depressed locked himself up in his room, and sulked after losing to Ian however After his father gave him the advice to learn from his losses, a sign learned to improve himself pointing out that Ian is strong trainer because of what he learned during his own Journey, as a result, Ash has gotten over this particular character trait and is now more accepting of criticism of his skill, though he still gets upset if his Pokémon are insulted or degraded.

Originally Ash actively took part in battles, he was rarely seen independently training his Pokémon however after he beat Gary in the quarterfinals of the Silver Conference which became a significant milestone for Ash's growth, and manage to go to the finals of the Silver Conference. He began training his Pokemon more noticeably at the start of his journey through Hoenn, having practice battles with his friends and focusing on moves, techniques, and strategies with his Pokémon. A noticeable trait of Ash's is his willingness to learn from both his victories and defeats. In Inoba such as where he snaps and throw Drago Pokéball into the River for being disobedience and cold attitude toward him however he soon regretted his decision and came back and retrieved Drago after losing his First Gym Battle in Inoba and would try to connect and understand Drago better and eventually Drago open up to Ash and the two become friends. Ash rivalry with Ian has a significant impact on him such as when Ian critically chastise him for his way of battling and the flaw of his battling skills. This cause Ash to become extremely depressed after losing against Ian several times however with the help of his father and friends Ash decide to reflect his mistake and learn from them and trained extremely hard in order to prove Ian wrong Ash has also greatly matured and the bond of his Pokémon has grown stronger.

Since entering the Kalos region, Ash has demonstrated much greater maturity and level-headiness; both in and out of battles as he continues his journey to be a Pokémon Master. So far, the only Pokémon League he has won is the Orange League in the Orange Archipelago. Since entering the Alola region, Ash is shown to be far more enthusiastic than he did in the Kalos region, while at the same time kept his determination and his love for Pokémon.

Ash has a strong sense of justice to assist Officer Jenny, the Pokémon Rangers, and the Police for their mission. He hated all source of evil organizations (such as Team Rocket, Team Aqua, Team Magma, Team Galactic, Team Plasma, Team Flare, and Team Skull) and Pokémon Poachers (such as Captain Crook, Iron-Masked Marauder, Rico, J, and the other poachers) because they steal Pokémon from people or the wild and doing bad stuff to them. He risked his own life to protect Pokémon and is resolve to do anything in his power to stop them and defeat criminals to put an end to their schemes especially when it comes to Pokémon. If a Pokémon is in trouble, he will make every effort to help them, even if he has no prior connection to them. If they are the cause of trouble, he will stop them, and then try to understand them, with almost all such occasions being a case of the Pokémon, or their Trainers or friends, having a problem which can't be resolved normally.

Ash is quite dense when it comes to matters of the opposite sex, more specifically in the field of romance. Ash has only displayed open interest in a female-only once, and nothing came out of it. Though some girls have shown obvious (and subtle) affection towards him, Ash meets it with nearly unfailing obtuseness, which some have also noticed. Even when it involves other people's romance, Ash is usually oblivious until someone points it out to him. Also, on a few occasions when it came to a matter of Pokémon love, with a male who's experiencing difficulty in gaining the attention of a female, while his friends will often mainly advise on improving the male's looks or charm, Ash's advice is simply to be stronger. Despite this, however, it is shown on several occasions that Ash does seem to understand the concept of marriage when he got excited by the news of Professor Kukui and Professor Burnet's engagement, and subsequently worked with his classmates to organize a big wedding ceremony for them.

Never straying from his goal, Ash has remained loyal to his friends, family, and supporters, but most of all his Pokémon. Ash became a great Trainer by learning to find and use the inner strength of each of his Pokémon by bonding with them. He also learns where their hidden abilities lie, as well as resorting to unorthodox strategies when fighting particularly challenging opponents. He is happy when his Pokémon evolve but lets them choose whether or not they want to evolve instead of forcing them.

After his Ordeal against Decker Ash has become more serious and brooding attitude since then he became very distant to friends while still caring for his friends and Pokémon He tends to be impatient and demanding in his attempts to uncover information He eventually began to slowly return his back to his friendly and cheerful self after Tag Team Tournament and later after defeating Kalin Gabena and Vector.

During his Childhood Ash went looking for Pokémon in the forest. However, Ash got lost and it was frightened to a point of tears. When it started to rain, Ash was forced to take shelter under a hollow tree. While under the tree, Ash noticed a group of Pokémon who were also seeking shelter from the rain. Ash invited the Pokémon inside the tree where they kept him safe and warm. This made Ash so happy that he wondered how much he wanted to become a trainer to travel the entire world with his Pokémon friends.

While looking for a Poliwag, Ash happened upon a young girl and fellow camper named Serena who got lost in the forest while looking for her group. Seeing that she injured her knee when a Poliwag startled her, Ash wrapped a clean blue handkerchief with a Poké Ball on each corner around her wounded knee to brace it. Ash lent her his hand and helped her up when she couldn't get herself up due to the pain. While doing so, Ash even hugged her then he guided her out of the forest and took her back to the campsite.

At some point before starting their journeys, Ash was friends with Gary Oak, Professor Oak's grandson, as they would go to the movies together when they were younger. Then one day, Ash and Gary both fished out a Poké Ball on both of their fishing lines.
