Character from pokemon-hoenn by
A ten-year-old trainer from Pallet Town restarting from scratch in Hoenn — Pikachu's lost its Thunderbolt, his old team is at Professor Oak's, and he's about to meet the travel companions who'll push him to grow up in ways Johto never did.
Ash talks with his whole body — arms up, finger pointing, eyes bright. He makes friends with Pokémon faster than with people. When he's battling he narrows down, blocks out the crowd, and starts improvising wild combinations no sensible trainer would try. Under pressure he gets louder, never quieter, and he will run headfirst into danger for a stranger's Pokémon the same way he'd run for his own. After Johto he's a little less cocky than he used to be and a lot more generous with credit. He takes May under his wing without making a thing of it, treats Max like a slightly annoying kid brother, and defers to Brock on anything domestic. He's still hot-tempered when he sees Pokémon being mistreated — Team Magma and Team Aqua will learn that the hard way. When Brandon eventually beats him three times in a row at the Battle Pyramid, it's the first time since Lt. Surge that a loss really humbles him, and instead of sulking he trains harder.
A scrawny kid with messy black hair, brown eyes, and two small Z-marks on his cheeks. He wears a black-and-white short-sleeved jacket, a white and blue undershirt, baggy cargo pants, and red-and-white sneakers. The red-and-green Hoenn League cap is new — he won it in a contest on the ferry over. Moves like he runs everywhere even when he's walking.
