Ash's Team
Ash Ketchum
The protagonist of Pokémon: The Series, who turned into a strange white Pokémon after drinking a magic potion. He's more concerned with how his new form will affect his chances as a trainer than anything else.
- Adaptational Species Change: When Ash drinks the potion, it doesn't actually apply any magic to him — rather, it breaks the spell that was keeping him in a human form, and his true form is that of Arceus.
- Badass Family: Comes with the territory of being related to a bunch of gods responsible for the whole earth.
- Berserk Button: REALLY doesn't like people who abuse pokemon, just ask Dr. Yung.
- Comes to a head while fighting Hunter J who's disregard for the lives of pokemon made Ash so upset he used Judgement on her, forcing Absol to save her just to keep Ash from having a life on his conscience.
- Blessed with Suck: His new form comes with multiple issues that impair him when it comes to his career as a trainer, such as the lack of hands and a large cumbersome wheel around his waist. Becomes downplayed as Ash learns to manage his new limits.
- Determinator: As in canon Ash lets nothing, not even the revelation that he's really a Pokémon, stop him from realizing his dreams.
- Generation Xerox: Is an exact copy of Arceus, enough for his siblings to confuse him for their father.
- Mind over Matter: Averted at first, as Ash tries to learn Confusion in order to grab stuff but fails. Then played straight as of chapter 34 once he has the Psychic badge and is finally able to learn Confusion.
- Playing with Fire: Learns Flamethrower to test the power of his badges.
- Roboteching: Judgement, like in the anime and games, summons multiple arcing beams of light that homes onto his target.
- Semi-Divine: Ash is the child of a human woman and what is all but confirmed to be Arceus.
- Skewed Priorities: Ash considers figuring out how to throw PokéBalls in his new form more important than the fact he's an entirely unknown species.
- Before the Silver Conference he regularly put off figuring more out about himself in favor of training for the league.
- Tomato in the Mirror: As far as anyone can tell, Ash has always been a Pokémon and the magic potion just reverted him to that form.
- Truly Single Parent: Ash creates Koraidon and Miraidon from a fossil and Koraidon's template respectively. While Unown are also involved with the process, they act as more of a living computer than beings inputting genetic matter into their creation.
Pikachu
Ash's ever-present starter, and his first Noble Pokémon.
- Adaptational Badass: While Pikachu is already one of Ash's strongest Pokémon in canon, here he gets made into a Noble and is able to access Gigantimax without the need for a Dynamax spot.
- Cloudcuckoolander's Minder: Acts as one to Ash.
- Deadpan Snarker: Definiately not afraid to comment on Ash's peculiarities.
- Gets turned up even more whenever he interacts with Absol.
- Handy Helper: Designated Pokédex operator after Ash lost his hands.
Latias
Legendary guardian of Altomare who decided to join Ash after he saved her.
- Adaptation Relationship Overhaul: Downplayed, but this Latias never shows any romantic interest in Ash.
- Handy Helper: Acts as one for Ash, often grabbing Poké Balls and other items from his bag.
- Ramming Always Works: Rams into the crane trapping Tyranitar, she also later learns Headbutt as her first new move.
Unown
A lone Unown Ash encounters that unlocks a more powerful form after coming in contact with him.
- Adaptational Badass: Unown are one of the weakest Pokémon in the series. However, due to this one's connection to Ash it has a power simular to what the entire hoard of Unown had at Greenfield.
- Elemental Powers: Its primary form of attack is a more powerful version of hidden power, allowing Unown to use it with any typing.
- Godzilla Threshold: Due to primarily acting as a conduit for Ash's powers, it only really turns up during emergencies.
- Hive Mind: Alphabet mode Unown is still a single Pokémon.
- Living Weapon: Acts as one for Ash as some form of conduit for his divine powers, played especially straight with Judgement.
- You Didn't Ask: Was revealed to have always known Ash was an Arceus, but never mentioned it because it wasn't directly asked.
Koraidon & Miraidon
A pair of unknown Pokémon Ash creates. Koraidon accidentally, and Miraidon intentionally.
- Cool Bike: They're a pair of giant lizard Pokémon that act as bikes.
- My Horse Is a Motorbike: Inverted; they're dragons that look like motorcycles.
- Mythology Gag: Just like their game counterparts, both Koraidon and Miraidon absolutely adore sandwiches.
- No Biological Sex: Both of them are genderless. However, Koraidon decides to use feminine pronouns while Miraidon sticks to neutral ones.
- Power Incontinence: Before experiencing Rayquaza's Air Lock, Koraidon is unable to turn off her ability, resulting in her having to spend a lot of time in her Poké Ball so as to not mess with the natural weather cycle.
- The Power of the Sun: Koraidon has the ability Orichalcum Pulse, which causes intense sunlight whenever she's out.
- Shock and Awe: Miraidon is an electric type, and has the ability Hadron Engine, which creates an electrical field whenever they're out.
Absol
An Absol Ash meets at the millennium festival, he has some trouble figuring out whether something's a disaster or not.
- All According to Plan: Claims to have seen just about everything coming, conveniently always after it happened.
- Ambiguous Situation: Whether he really is a Phony Psychic like Pikachu claims or not is left up to the reader. He did know to come to Jirachi's rescue before anything went down, even if he didn't know why.
- Foil: To Ash's Absol from Ashes of the Past, an Absol with a broken danger sense instead of one who honed her danger sense into a fighting style.
- He's a lesser one to Legendarily Popular's Absol, being much more happy-go-lucky compared to her near-constant nervous wreck (at least around Ash).
- My Significance Sense Is Tingling: Even when he makes a prediction it always comes down to whether or not he has a bad feeling about something.
- Power Incontinence: He theorizes that his powers aren't working as well as they should do to nothing being able to be classified as a disaster when Ash is around to help.
Zorua
A Hisuian Zorua Ash hatches from an egg given to him by Nicolette, always sleepy
- Head Pet: He seems to favor Koraidon's head as his place to sit (and nap).
- Really 700 Years Old: An odd case, His egg is implied to have been laid all the way back in ancient Hisui, which would have been at least a few hundred years.
- Sleepyhead: Seems to be his only defining trait, due to how long he's been in the egg.
Mirage Mew
The original Mirage Pokémon created by Dr. Yung. They're turned into a real Pokémon by Ash, later sent to Mewtwo due to his experience with horrible creators, before returning to join Ash's team when he's heading to Sinnoh.
- Actual Pacifist: So far seems to have absolutely no desire to fight in any capacity, whether that extends to emergencies or just trainer battles is yet to be seen.
- Become a Real Boy: Happens to them due to Ash's powers.
- Happily Adopted: Isn't actually Ash's child, due to being created by Dr. Yung, but is more than happy to consider him their father anyways. It helps that Ash was the one to turn them into a real Mew.
- Shrinking Violet: Ends up being one, most likely do to the abuse done to them at the hands of their creator Dr. Yung.
- No Biological Sex: As a Mew, and former hologram, they're one.
- Walking Spoiler: Hard to say anything about them without mentioning the fact that they're the original AI created for the Mirage System.

- Big Brother Mentor: Acts as one to Ash, as well as to his actual younger siblings, of course.

May
A girl from Hoenn who's just starting out on her journey.
- Adaptation Relationship Overhaul: Has a much more friendly relationship with Harley than in canon.
- Graceful Loser: After losing the Grand Festival she's more preoccupied with gushing about how cool her opponent's Pokémon were than being sad at losing.
- I Choose to Stay: Ends the Battle Frontier arc deciding to stay on Samiya with Manaphy and her (newly found) distant relatives.
- Related in the Adaptation: May and Max are revealed to be distant descendants of the people of the water, and correspondingly related to Shep and his family.
Max
May's younger brother.
- Adaptational Early Appearance: He decides to join Ash and May when they first leave Petalburg.
- Psychic Link: Forms one with Ralts, allowing him to understand pokemon.

- Ascended Extra: He's the one who helps Ash learn about his typing as well as his Multitype ability later on.
Rayquaza
Legendary pokemon of the stratosphere and Ash's older brother.
- Ascended Extra: In canon he just acts as a pseudo-antagonist in Destiny Deoxys and never actually interacts with the heroes, here he's a reoccuring character in Hoenn and the one who first confirms what Ash is.
- Big Brother Mentor: Acts as one to Ash, telling him about Arceus and his role, as well as visiting him after Ash wins his Rain Badge.
- The Hermit: Downplayed, but he confesses to preferring to be alone. Considering that half of his job is patrolling the ozone on his lonesome and the other half is breaking up his siblings' fights, it's understandable.
Harley
May's contest rival.
- Adaptational Nice Guy: His rivalry and sabotage attempts are played off as more him teasing May than actually disliking her.
- The Gadfly: His friendship mostly consists of teasingly sabotaging May.

- Adaptational Early Appearance: Here She first meets Ash at Rowan's lab.
- Ascended Extra: She goes from a side character to one of Ash's main companions.
- Badass Bookworm: Balances being a researcher of ancient cultures and legends with being the strongest trainer in Sinnoh rather well.
- The Ditherer: Of the too-many-trees variety, as with canon.
- The Dreaded: Every gym leader in Sinnoh is absolutely terrified of her. Meanwhile, the Champ Brothers take one look at her and head for the hills rather than risk a fight.
- Running Gag: See The Ditherer above.
Dawn / Akari
Up and coming contestant that joins up with Ash and Cynthia. As a side effect of the Almos Town incident, she was sent back in time to Hisui, where she took up the name of Akari.
