Ash Ketchum (Pokemon)

On his 10th birthday, he realized he overslept. Ash rushed to Professor Oak's Laboratory to get his first Pokémon. Originally wanting to choose Squirtle, Bulbasaur or Charmander, but he ended up receiving the Pokémon Pikachu instead, as he arrived late (thus leaving him with no other Starters to choose from even though this was his birthday). At first, Pikachu did not obey Ash and kept running away, so Ash had to tie him up. After getting chased by a flock of Spearow later in the day thanks to Ash's recklessness, Ash attempted to save Pikachu from them. Seeing that Ash was so determined to help him, Pikachu protected Ash from the Spearow by electrocuting the entire flock (which was thanks to being struck by lightning at that exact moment and having his Electric-type move supercharged). From then on, Pikachu and Ash became best friends. As an unskilled Trainer, Ash traveled with Misty and Brock throughout the Kanto region, capturing new Pokémon along the way.

Ash eventually managed to collect every badge from Kanto's Gym Leaders (although some of his badges were earned out of gratitude due to varying circumstances), allowing him to enter in the Indigo Plateau Conference. Since then, Ash has continued to travel, journeying through the various regions and making new friends, from Misty and Brock to Chloe and Goh. With each new region he traveled to, Ash continued to challenge all the Gym Leaders, entering Pokémon League Conferences and catching new Pokémon while still following his goal of becoming a Pokémon Master. Since this goal is so close to his heart, he sometimes acts a bit rash and rushes to the next battle he can as fast as possible without thinking.

While Ash was traveling, he was constantly pursued by Team Rocket's Jessie, James, and Meowth, who wanted his Pikachu. They chased him across all the regions so far, and are still chasing them to this day. Team Rocket never manages to capture Pikachu though, due to Ash's other Pokémon and friends helping him.

Ash is a skinny, slender preteen with a dark shade of cyan hair, slightly tan skin, and brown eyes with two distinctive lightning bolt-like markings (maybe cheeks) underneath each one. Ash's pupils were not visible during the Indigo League and through the Diamond & Pearl series until the Best Wishes series made them more profound and distinguishable.
While Ash wears a few different outfits, he always wears a baseball cap, which changes depending on the region he is in. Without a cap, Ash is shown to have a cowlick and a narrow, triangular, and edgy tuft of hair in the middle of his forehead that comes to a point on the right side.

## Ash Ketchum (MS020)

Ash wears his original outfit, but with a few minor changes. The green symbol on his red and white hat resembles the Poké Ball symbol on his Alola hat. His blue shirt vest changed as well. His pockets have more detail, and the gold trim on the bottom is now just a small stripe. The white collar and sleeves are given more detail as well. His undershirt is black instead of dark teal. His gloves, however, didn't change. Ash's blue jeans now have cuffs that resemble bracelets. His black and white sneakers lack the red dots. Also, his belt is missing, and his backpack looks similar to the one he wore in Kalos.

## create Blue and white shirt

1. Though you'll probably be able to describe the clothes Ash wears by heart as well as the many accessories he carries around with him. Let's take a look at how Ash Ketchum usually dresses so we can make a **DIY costume** that's as close to the original as possible. Ash usually wears white sneakers, a pair of light blue jeans and a black t-shirt with a blue and white waistcoat. However, the most highlighted features in this costume have to be his green gloves, red and white cap and his inseparable Pokémon: Piukachu.
2. To **make the cap** you can use any baseball cap that has the same colors: white at the front and red at the sides and cap visor. The white area has a big green lopsided V shape on it, an element that you can easily draw on it with a dark green felt pen. If you want a more professional finish, you can also print the logo from the Internet and print it on the cap. As important as the cap is, your **Ash Ketchum costume** has to have spiky and messy hair coming out from the sides. If you have dark hair, you can easily use hair gel or spray to spike your hair from the sides. If you don't have similar hair to our Pokémon hero, you can use a dark-haired wig too.
3. Put a black triangle on a silver plaque buckle from red belt.
4. Put on a short sleeved black t-shirt and a pair of jeans with a red belt. For the **blue and white shirt**, you'll need either a blue waistcoat or shirt. If you go for a shirt, you'll have to cut the sleeves so it's sleeveless. Once you have your blue waistcoat, sew on two sleeves, which will have been previously cut from a white t-shirt. You can also cut up the collar from an old white shirt and sew it on to your blue waistcoat. If you'd also like to add the yellow details on **Ash Ketchum's shirt**, get some yellow fabric and cut up strips of around 12 centimeters (around 5 inches). Cut one strip that is long enough for the bottom of the waistcoat, and two shorter pieces to resemble the pockets.
5. Now your Ash Ketchum costume is ready, you only need to add some final touches so it looks even more similar to the original. Put on some **white sneakers and a pair of fingerless green gloves**. As it may be difficult to find these gloves, we recommend you get some normal green gloves and cut off the fingers from them so they are fingerless.Don't forget your Pikachu! get a Pikachu stuffed plush. It's up to you!
