Ashley "Alexa" Maselan ngunit Determinado

**Ashley "Alexa" Maselan ngunit Determinado** (Masenado for short) is a 10-year-old scientist ahead of her time. She is very smart but has nfriends; her wanting to take science to the next level distances her from everybody, even her own family. Most of the inventions she has are from her deceased grandfather, who was a famous Filipino scientist; famous in the Philippines at least. When he passed away, his will stated that all of his inventions go to Ashley. Thus, she promised to carry on his legacy and take science to the next level.

## Bio

### Pre-series

Ashley was born in the Earth country of the Philippines, in Manila City in Luzon. She was a normal girl, loved her family, her friends. And her favorite interests included science.

She would often visit her grandfather and look around his laboratory, taking in the sights of many inventions and memories of his own past, one of them being when he was part of a science expo in Canada.

Turns out that her grandfather had an interest in a science that not even she understood completely, quantum physics.

She got a few things, but everything else was kinda difficult to understand, until her grandfather made her think about every decision she made. Every time she was faced with doing one thing or another, whatever option she didn't choose created a parallel world.

And to that end, her grandfather was attempting to create a device to peer into those worlds, taking some inspiration from a physicist named Lutece. He toiled on this machine for many days and nights, but it took it's toll on him. But when he finally finished it, he was close to collapsing from exhaustion. After a few days rest, he finally revealed the finished device, known simply as the World Door.

With Ashley in tow, he journeyed around the multiverse and saw many different parallel realities, including one where certain figures weren't the same gender as he remembered them.

For example, in one reality, Lutece was a man instead of a woman. In another, the stock market crash of 1929, and the resulting Great Depression, never occurred. In yet another, World War 2 never happened.

True, they had many adventures, but the grandfather knew that due to constant exposure to the machine by himself, he became weaker. See, a regular man would become sterile with overuse of this machine, but an elderly gentleman would get older a bit more rapidly. But Ashley, she seemed perfectly fine, due to her limited exposure to the Lutece particles that generated the machines quantum physics.

They had adventures, and one day, he told her of a place he discovered that he wanted her to see. But before they could, he started to clutch his heart. Initially, he brushed it off and told her to return the next day. But little did she know that that day would be her grandfather's last.

After he died, she was heartbroken, lonely, like she lost the most important person in her life. And then one day, she had this idea that maybe she could use the World Door to go to a world where she stayed with him and could've prolonged his life, if only just long enough for their final adventure together.

And so, on a stormy day, she fired up the World Door. Now, she knew how it worked because her grandpa showed her how to operate it. However, as she was about to step through, a bolt of lightning struck the house, sending an electrical surge throughout the house. Ashley got electrocuted as she stepped through, and the portal suddenly shut off from her end.

She found herself drifting through the sea of doors before she found the one her grandpa spoke of, as it had a familiar looking symbol on it. A circle with a red half and a white half. She stepped through this door and found herself in the Pokemon multiverse, and just as you'd expect, she saw yet more lighthouses and yet more doors.

She soon found one with her grandfather's picture on it with a note that said; "To my dear granddaughter. This may be a shock, but traveling through the multiverse is taking it's toll on me. The press will dub it a heart failure, but it was because of exposure to the Lutece particles, the very thing that allows the World Door to open. And so, I give you my final gift. Make this world yours. Your place to get away from the tragedies of life. The world beyond this lighthouse door awaits, so get started. Love you forever, grandfather."

Ashley was devastated, and she hugged the note tight to her chest as she cried her tears out. She promised her grandfather that she would do as he said. And after drying the tears, stepped through the door. She soon fell unconscious upon a beach, as the strain from traveling to a completely different multiverse can cause you to konk out.

She was found and taken in by a gentle family who gave her food, shelter and a practically new family. And then she saw a Growlithe. At first, both human and Pokemon were a bit spooked, but that fear turned to curiosity.

The family explained what Growlithe was and about its fellow Pokemon. And this tempted her to learn more, which she did from the local Pokemon Professor. She explained Pokemon had been around for millions of years, but said humans once lived in fear of them as far back as the samurai era.

Over the next couple months, she learned plenty about the world of Pokemon and the history of their relationship with humans. That's when she met a curious Pikachu. She approached it, and to her surprise, it liked her.

The professor soon found the reason why, she had an unheard-of positive electric current running throughout her body, one that the Pikachu was attracted to.

It was obvious that Ashley found her partner Pokemon and closest friend, but the weirdest thing is, one night, she saw Buddy and heard him speak. She thought at first she was dreaming, but realized she was awake and could understand Buddy's Poke-language. She told the professor, but obviously she found it hard to believe.

That is, until Buddy helped the professor find something she was looking for for days on end, with Ashley translating. The professor believed her then, and decided to test it with other Pokemon types. To their surprise, she only understood electrical Pokemon.

They theorized that the electrical charge running through her body was what caused this. Right then and there, the professor offered her the chance to build her bond with Buddy, and gave her a Pokedex and Pokeballs.

So from that day onwards, during her 11th birthday, Ashley began her Pokémon journey in the Bayan Region, with Buddy as her starter to travel together for new beginnings in Bayan.

The family she left behind saw she left something behind right before the World Door threshold, so they had to try to get the machine back online to find her and bring her home.

As for that jerk Jason, he was her rival ever since they were competed against each other in a Pokemon exam, which included a battling portion. They tied that day, but ever since they, they tried to beat each other every time they met on the battlefield. Two different ideologies clashing in a seemingly endless rivalry.

## Personality

Ashley is similar to Ash Ketchum in a number of ways. Ashley is very determined to be a great Pokémon Trainer. Personality-wise, Ashley is a very strong person, shows confidence when battling and shows a lot of sympathy towards Pokémon, usually helping and befriending them through her long journey. As a result, Ashley dislikes Trainers who mistreat Pokémon.

Ashley is generally kind, brave, enthusiastic, passionate and adventurous. However, she can be stubborn, hot-headed, short-tempered, cocky, reckless, and impulsive at times, supported by the fact that she is quick to get angry.

When Ashley *is* angry, however, her personality takes a drastic change; she becomes serious and strict, and the anger keeps this change going.

## Abilities

### Intelligence

Ashley has a high IQ which she estimates to be 250. She has the potential of an inventor and has actually made little gadgets of her own. She believes to have inherited this from her grandfather, as he was an old friend of Professor Von Volt and they made great things together when the latter was still alive.

### Athleticism

Ashley is shown to be a natural athlete, as she can easily dodge attacks and can even land on her hands often when she has to strike a landing.

### Martial Arts

Ashley is well self-trained in Taekwondo, as she used to learn about Taekwondo in Grade 3 and began self-training after she changed schools.

### Electrokinesis

Throughout the series, Ashley is shown to have this kind of power, yellow electricity surrounding her fist when she needs to defend herself or others to her fullest. To activate her powers, she has to snap her fingers until sparks of electricity come out of her fingertips and form enough energy for her to properly use. To deactivate them, she simply has to calmly put her fingers into a fist.
