Hey guys, HDvee here.
Today's video looks back at the world of Ash Ketchum, the ten year old Pokemon trainer
who doesn't age and loses pretty much all of his important league final matches.
Obviously, we all know Ash from the Pokemon Anime, he's the main character after all
and most of us spent our childhoods watching him travel through the various regions catching
Pokemon and collecting gym badges.
But of course, the Pokemon anime doesn't tell us everything about this young Pokemon
trainer.
I recently made a video going over Ash Ketchum's childhood, and it was received pretty well
and you guys seemed to really like the extra in depth information that I found out about
the Pokemon Anime's main protagonist.
With that being said, I thought i'd take another look at the personal life of Ash Ketchum
and this time try and find out some information about his love life.
As we all know, Ash has had a number of travelling companions throughout his journey across the
Pokemon world, and some he's grown more fond of than others.
Looking into this topic a bit more, today's video looks at explaining Ash Ketchum's
Love Shipping.
If you aren't aware, the word Shipping, initially derived from the word relationship,
is the desire by fans for two or more people, either real-life people or fictional characters,
in film or literature to be in a relationship, romantic or otherwise.
Don't hesitate to drop a comment down below about the video and if you found it interesting
or not!
Don't forget to leave a like on this video too to show your support and I'll be sure
to bring out a new video very shortly.
Make sure to subscribe if you haven't already to keep up to date and without further ado
let's get into the video and I really hope that you enjoy!
First things first, before we even get started, the creator of the animated series has expressly
stated that at present there can be no love affair in the Pokémon Anime, because it would
deviate the pattern of the plot.
However, it was of course possible that many girls, including Pokémon-girls!, fell in
love with Ash because of his personality and his courage, as it has also happened that
Ash has had, or at least appears to have had, some small crushes.
So to explain Ash Ketchum's Love Shipping, we have to take a look at all of the possible
love interests that Ash has came across through the years, all the way from Kanto to Kalos,
i won't be counting Alola because we haven't really seen too much of that series yet, so
we'll leave that out for now.
Anyway, who better to start things off with though, than Misty.
Misty is an aspiring Water Pokémon Master and a former traveling partner of Ash.
She is also the Gym Leader of the Cerulean Gym, handing out the Cascade Badge to Trainers
who defeat her.
She specializes in Water-type Pokémon.
Misty is a girl who can be sweet and optimistic at times, but she is best known for how easily
she can be angered or frustrated and how loud she can become in response.
She is very extreme in most of her moods, and can switch between them quickly.
However, as time went on, Misty mellowed and her hyper personality was reduced significantly
by the end of the Original series.
Although, for the reasons explained at the beginning of this video, Shudo said that between
the two trainers there's not a love affair.
However, he did not rule out that Misty could be in love with Ash, because, as he himself
explained, even at the beginning of the story she was the age when girls fall in love.
Another interesting fact is that one of the storyboarders of the animated series revealed
that Misty and Ash really like each other, but they were too childish to realize that.
This is made clear by some scenes from episodes and movies.
In the episode titled A date with Delcatty from the Pokémon Chronicles series, a guy
asks to take Misty on a date, however, in the original Japanese version, Misty responds
to love someone else already.
Also in the original version of this episode, in the final, Misty wants to go see Ash in
Hoenn.
So, those two scenes could be linked together to create the idea that Misty is in fact,
in love with Ash.
As mentioned at the beginning of the video, Ash returns feelings only for Misty, to whom
he is always very fond of; this is shown by his attitudes and by the way he talks about
her to other friends.
In addition, Ash is really jealous about the presents she gives him such as a handkerchief
and Misty's special lure, not allowing anyone to touch them.
Being over protective about these gifts from Misty, and because of how highly he talks
of her could mean that Ash Ketchum has, or did have, feelings for Misty at some point
in the anime.
Next up, we have Melody.
Melody is a resident of Shamouti Island in the Orange Islands archipelago.
Melody at first glance does not really seem to be a sociable person.
She meets Ash, Misty, Tracey and Maren at the docks of the island, dressed in casual
clothes.
Melody is one of the protagonists of the second movie.
It is not clear in the movie if she actually had a crush on Ash, but judging from some
of her behavioural actions towards him, she probably could have had one.
To avoid any mistake, however, she is included in the list.
Obviously because she has only appeared in the one movie, we didn't really get to see
the character fully develop to see if there was a potential romance between her and Ash,
however, Ash did show attraction to Melody, setting fire to the jealousy of Misty.
This could further the idea that Ash had a crush on Melody, but also because of her Jealousy,
support the idea that Misty also has a crush on Ash.
Next up we have Bianca.
Bianca is a primary character in Pokémon Heroes: Latios & Latias.
She is the granddaughter of Lorenzo and the best friend of Latias, who has a tendency
to shapeshift into her.
Bianca has a hairstyle similar to Latias' wings, and can usually be identified from
Latias' illusion by the white beret she wears.
It appears she wishes to be a painter or possibly a Pokémon watcher similar to Tracey.
In the movie Pokémon Heroes, Ash saves Latias, who took the form of Bianca that, once out
of danger, mysteriously disappears.
When, later at the museum, he sees Bianca, Ash starts to behave oddly, trying to reach
her at all costs, not knowing that, in reality, she wasn't the girl he previously saved.
Ash's behaviours bring the thought that he could have had a crush on Bianca.
The conclusion of the film briefly sees her finishing a drawing.
The drawing, which is of Ash and Pikachu, was given to Ash by either Bianca, who had
left her hat on her easel, or Latias in the form of Bianca: which is the case is the subject
of debate.
When Ash received the sketch, the girl kissed him.
Bianca was seen again in the credits drawing another sketch by the harbor.
Coming up next we have Macy.
Macy is a Pokémon Trainer from Mahogany Town who entered the Silver Conference.
She first appeared in Love, Pokémon Style.
Macy is a Fire-type enthusiast and owns at least three.
She developed a crush on Ash when he saved her from injury when her Vulpix was stolen
by Team Rocket, and it only grew when he returned it.
She later faced Ash in the preliminary rounds of the Silver Conference, where she proved
to be skilled at deflecting her type preference's weakness to Water types.
She lost to Ash when Squirtle defeated her Electabuzz and Quilava.
After the battle Macy's Slugma had evolved into Magcargo, which Macy thought was a sign
of the friendship between her and Ash.
Another interesting fact is that Macy is one of the rare occasions a girl became attracted
to Ash and even hoped to go on a date with him.
Notably, she is the first girl to do so in the main series anime.
Next up we have Anabel.
Salon Maiden Anabel is the Frontier Brain in charge of running the Battle Frontier's
Battle Tower.
Anabel appeared in the episodes Talking a Good Game! and Second Time's the Charm!.
Anabel has the empathic ability to sense the emotions of living beings and communicating
with them, ever since she was little, possessing powers similar to Yellow of Pokémon Adventures,
although other characters do not seem to regard these as psychic abilities but rather a honed
sense of empathy.
Nevertheless, she is still portrayed as a sort of Psychic-type specialist.
She also shares a strong bond with her Pokémon, calling them my friend upon sending them out.
She failed to teach Ash and May her empathetic abilities, as their Pokémon receive nothing
from them.
Ash and his friends were surprised to learn that Anabel was a girl; when the group arrived
at her house, she declined to change her wet clothes in front of them.
Ash asked if it was because of May's presence, but Anabel explained that it was because she's
female.
Ash lost his first match to Anabel after her powerful Alakazam managed to defeat two of
his Pokémon consecutively, shadowing both Ash's Corphish and Tauros.
In a rematch, Ash beat her by using the same strategy as in the previous battle.
During their farewell, Anabel was shown to have a crush on Ash.
Coming up next we have Dawn.
Dawn is a ten-year-old Pokémon Coordinator and a former traveling companion of Ash and
Brock.
Her goal is to become a great Top Coordinator like her mother, Johanna.
Her first Pokémon was a Piplup that she received from Professor Rowan in the first Diamond
& Pearl series episode.
Dawn is notable for her confidence, since she almost always tries to look towards the
future rather than dwell on her mistakes.
In stark contrast to May's inexperience and self-doubt at the start of the Advanced Generation
series, Dawn was overly confident and assured in her own strength at the beginning of her
journey.
Because of this, she became emotional after she was eliminated from Pokémon Contests,
and often cried after losing.
Dawn has never openly showed a crush towards Ash, perhaps because she actually did not
realize it.
However, according to several sources, but also judging from some of her behaviours towards
him, she seems to have had a crush on Ash, or at least a special admiration for him.
Next up we have Angie.
Angie is a recurring character in the Pokémon anime.
She is a Pokémon caretaker at the Solaceon Town Day Care, which is owned by her parents.
She first appeared in Camping It Up!.
Angie shares many personality traits with Ash, including a love of food and sleeping
during class.
She also developed a fierce rivalry with him, and both battled their respective Pokémon
in training, resulting in a tie.
Together, they also got reprimanded by Rowan and his aide several times for being troublemakers,
usually because Angie said or did something to make Ash mad.
Angie took part in the Pokémon Summer Academy in the Sinnoh region.
Initially she quarreled and competed with Ash, but after being saved by him a couple
of times and after having better understood his character, she too ended up falling in
love with him.
As he did with Anabel in Talking a Good Game!, Ash thought Angie was a boy.
Both girls have similar English names, and have a crush on Ash.
Coming up next we have Lyra.
Lyra is a recurring character in the Pokémon anime.
She is a Pokémon Trainer from New Bark Town and a traveling companion of Khoury.
She made her debut appearance in An Egg Scramble!.
It is implied in Gone With the Windworks! that Lyra has an interest in Ash.
She admires his bravery and wishes Khoury acted more like him.
Lyra has even asked Dawn if she and Ash are a couple, though Dawn informed her that they
are just friends.
Perhaps Lyra was interested in Ash's spontaneity, something that Khoury lacks.
In A Rivalry to Gible On!, Lyra attempted to pair Khoury and Dawn together as a couple,
despite Dawn's refusal, before eventually realizing she had feelings for the former.
Up next we have Serena.
Serena is a Pokémon Performer and a former traveling companion of Ash, who debuted in
Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!.
Her first Pokémon was a Fennekin that she received from Professor Sycamore.
Serena has proven to be a kind and polite girl but she can also be openly rebellious
towards her mother, Grace.
In Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!, she refused to wake up when Grace ordered
her to, and gave a sassy response to her mother's call to watch the news.
Serena met Ash many years before, at Professor Oak's Pokémon Summer Camp, in Pallet Town.
One day she got lost in the forest and hurt her knee.
In that moment she met Ash, who bandaged the wound and encouraged her because she was afraid
of not being able to get up.
Then Ash pulled Serena up, making her stand on her feet, and she found herself embraced
to him.
Then Ash said, "See?
You made it!"and took her back to Camp.
Of course, Serena immediately falls in love with the boy, and having found him in the
Kalos region, she too decided to travel in order to be with him.
Something that you may not know though is that in the last episode of XYZ Serena kisses
Ash on the lips.
This was confirmed by the director of the series in an interview.
The scene was made ambiguous because it was not possible to insert it directly in the
episode, so there was the idea of using the escalator.
However, this is the closest thing Ash Ketchum has had to a relationship since the start
of the Pokemon Anime.
Last but not least, we have Miette.
Miette is a recurring character in the Pokémon anime.
She is a Pokémon Performer and a rival of Serena who first appeared in A Battle by Any
Other Name!.
Miette has a strong passion for baking and is shown to be quite skilled at it.
However, in her first appearance, she seemed to have a very high opinion of herself.
She originally considered her Poké Puffs to be perfect and this was what ultimately
started her rivalry with Serena, after she claimed hers were only moderate in comparison.
Miette quickly picked up on Serena's crush on Ash and is fond of teasing her about it
at every instance she can, usually in a playful manner.
She has also told Serena that she has a crush on Ash herself, and often teasingly whispers
in her ear that she will reveal her feelings to him if Serena does not reveal hers first,
an action that highly embarrasses Serena.
This could have of course just been to tease Serena, but nevertheless, it is another female
character that has said she has feeling for Ash Ketchum.
But with that, wraps up this video.
