Ash Ketchum

• Mirror Character: Ash has a tendency to resemble people throughout his career as a Pokemon trainer, be it a traveling companion or a rival.
  • Ash was a lot like Gary in the Kanto region as they were both snarky and immature. However, they both grow out of their immaturity later as their journeys change for the better.
  • Ash and Misty have shown to be too overconfident and hot-headed for their own good. However, Ash has learned to dial himself back and tries not to let it get the better of him most of the time, but Misty’s increases because of her status as a Gym Leader. However, she does learn to be less temperamental with time.
  • Upon noticing May pushing her newly caught Bulbasaur to her limits to the point it leads to a humiliating defeat and scolding from the judges, Ash sees that she acting as he did at the beginning of his journey and then talks to her in an understanding way.
  • Ash and Dawn were overconfident at the beginning of their journeys, but a big loss for them helped them realize how too far they went; then gradually changed themselves as they became more humble in losing, whether it was in a Gym Battle or a Contest.
  • Witnessing Iris' cocky attitude and not opening up to those around her, Ash is sympathetic towards her as he was once like her when he started his journey, but sometimes argues back with her when she calls him out on his immaturity. Also, Ash and Iris may be Champions, but they believe that it isn’t enough to fulfill their dreams.
  • Ash and Lillie are a lot alike when it comes to helping Pokémon in need as they would risk their lives to help them, especially their partners and best friends.
