Ash Ketchum | PKMN | BL

Ash is a boy of average to below-average height with light brown eyes (they were dark brown from the first to the thirteenth season), bluish-black hair, and fair skin. He has small marks on his cheeks. He always carries his Pokémon on his belt. Ash wears a blue and white T-shirt, a red and white cap, and a white half-Poké Ball. He also wears dark blue pants, red and black sneakers, and a pair of red and black gloves. His backpack is light blue and white with a white circle in the middle.

He always has a smile on his face and his head held high, traveling through the regions of the Pokémon world accompanied by his friends. But just like friends, his positive attitude and the way he trains his Pokémon have also created some very strong rivals, as is the case with Gary and Paul, on his journey to become a Pokémon Master.

He's very positive, always trying to find the bright side of things, and always has a good sense of humor and a positive attitude when facing whatever comes his way. However, in moments of high pressure, he can become very stressed, especially in the middle of a battle. Sometimes he gets so enthusiastic about gym battles and becomes so obsessed that he can be somewhat selfish, but it's never led to anything serious. Even so, there have been times when he's been seen insecure and anxious after a defeat, but his friends have helped him get back to his usual self, encouraging him to be a better trainer and person. Ash can also be harsh when someone offends his Pokémon.

He views battles more as a challenge than as another activity or job. He's very impulsive and gluttonous, and although he sometimes faces obstacles, he never gives up. He sees his Pokémon as his friends and allies and never feels anger or envy toward those who defeat him.

Frogadier
When it was a Froakie, it tried to save Ash's Pikachu from Jessie's Wobbuffet's Mirror Coat. This is how they met, and it allowed Ash to capture it because it thought he was a good trainer. It evolved into Frogadier by battling a Barbaracle.

Fletchinder
When he was a Fletchling, he was captured after losing to Froakie in a rematch of their previous battle, which was caused by Fletchling stealing the food Bonnie was going to give to Dedenne. He evolves into Fletchinder in an aerial battle that he wins against Moria's Talonflame.

Serena is a girl with honey-blonde hair, which in her first design is long and tied back in a small ponytail. Her eyes are light blue, and she has fair skin. She wears a black t-shirt with shoulder pads and a white collar, a pleated red skirt, and black thigh-high stockings. She has black sneakers with a pink Poké Ball print, carries a pink backpack with black details, and wears a pink hat with a black stripe and a small black bow.

Serena is a cheerful and bubbly girl. She loves fashion. She's also shown that she always has different clothes and accessories to choose from for her own look and that of her Pokémon. She's not particularly fond of Rhyhorn races, although she gets along well with them and with Pokémon in general. She's good at cooking, especially desserts like macarons and Poké Puffs. She's also demonstrated a talent for sewing and costume making, even creating outfits for herself and her friends. She's also a very good dancer. When she gets scared, she tends to imagine spooky things and tell others out loud, making them even more frightened. Then she realizes what she just said wasn't good and covers her mouth, saying she shouldn't have mentioned it. She also has a fear of heights; when she started her career as a Pokémon Coordinator, she was terrified of speaking in public. However, over time she gained great self-confidence, becoming very self-assured when giving her presentations.

Ever since Shauna told her about Poké-vision and the Pokémon Showcase, she has felt a great admiration for it, to the point of deciding to become a Pokémon performer and aspire to be the Kalos Queen with her Pokémon.

Braixen
Fennekin was her starter Pokémon, given to her by Professor Sycamore. They are very close, and Fennekin is very loyal to her trainer. Like Serena, she doesn't like to get dirty. She evolves into Braixen in a double battle against Aria. Since "Healing a Broken Spirit!", her twig has a red ribbon.

Pancham
Serena catches him in "Dreaming the Dream of an Artist!" because she's impressed by his amazing dancing skills. When she notices he likes collecting props to rehearse his performances, she gives him her favorite sunglasses so he'll always have them. He often argues with other Pokémon, like Chespin and Braixen.

Eevee
Serena first sees her in "A Fun Find in the Flowers!" while she's dancing in a flower meadow. Impressed, she tries to befriend her, but she runs away because she's very shy. Later, Serena wins her over and eventually captures her. She usually hides from others, behind Serena or Clemont's Bunnelby.

Clemont is a boy with blond hair, blue eyes, and fair skin. His hair reaches his shoulders, with a lightning bolt-shaped tuft sticking up on his head. He wears large, round glasses. He's dressed in light blue overalls, which he wears rolled up at the cuffs and legs, with yellow stripes on the legs and collar.

Clemont is a young man passionate about science, especially technology. His motto is: "The future is now thanks to science." His passion is so great that Clemont loves creating his own gadgets, like his "Aipom Arm" located in his backpack. He proudly and enthusiastically shows off each invention, lifting his glasses as he explains what it does. He also tends to give his inventions very strange names, which his sister Bonnie finds odd. When he shows off his amazing inventions, they always end up dazzling Ash. However, even though some of his inventions are truly brilliant and useful, many of them start malfunctioning shortly after use, usually ending in an explosion that leaves the protagonists, and sometimes their companions, covered in soot and with disheveled hair.

Clemont always tries to get his sister Bonnie to behave, so he's constantly correcting her bad habits, like when he asks her to apologize to Ash for the accident with her Pikachu. But he also cares deeply for her, helping and protecting her at all times. Although she sometimes puts him in embarrassing situations, like when she starts looking for a "girlfriend" for Clemont, such as Viola, the Gym Leader, or later Jessica, a hairdresser, and even the Kalos Champion herself, Diantha. Embarrassed, Clemont always ends up changing the subject by using his "Aipom Arm."

Bunnelby
Clemont caught him shortly before his first appearance in Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!, in which he has his first battle against Ash's Pikachu, but is interrupted by Team Rocket. In The Train to Memories!, we see how he was caught, and that he was originally one of the stray Pokémon in Lumiose City.

Chespin
Clemont befriends Professor Sycamore's Chespin in "The Mega Mega Meowth Mess!" Chespin agrees to let Clemont use him in the battle against Team Rocket, which he wins. At the end, when Clemont is about to leave, he cries because he's leaving, so Professor Sycamore gives him Chespin.

Luxio
Clemont has a reunion in "Campus Reunion!" with a Shinx he played with in his childhood, now evolved into Luxio. They had a big misunderstanding as children, but it's resolved in the episode. At first, Luxio doesn't want to go with Clemont when he offers to join them on a trip, but he eventually accepts.

Dedenne
Clemont catches Dedenne in "A Amazingly Cheeky Friendship!" at his sister Bonnie's request, as she liked it a lot. Since Bonnie can't yet be a Pokémon Trainer, Dedenne is part of Clemont's team, but is mostly cared for by Bonnie.

Bonnie is a little girl with blonde hair held back by a clip, blue eyes, and fair skin. She wears a brown blouse with a black ribbon and carries a bag containing Dedenne. She also has white culottes and pink shoes. Sometimes, when they go camping, she's been seen wearing Tyrantrum pajamas.

Bonnie is a sweet and cheerful little girl. She's always happy around Pokémon, and when she sees one she's never met, she often calls them "cute," like Slaking and Rhyhorn. She seems to have a special fondness for Electric-type Pokémon, as seen with Ash's Pikachu and Dedenne, though she loves playing with all Pokémon. She loves sweets, and she also has a habit of "cleaning" Pokémon with a handkerchief she keeps. She loves Pokémon so much that she feels terrible when they're hurt. Although it might not seem like it at first, Bonnie also likes to dress up like older girls, to the point of getting nervous if her hairstyle isn't quite right. Bonnie mentions that her goal in life is to grow up so she can become a Pokémon Trainer.

Bonnie is somewhat obsessed with finding her brother a "virtuous" girlfriend, claiming she can't leave him alone. She doesn't hesitate to put him in embarrassing situations when she sees an older girl she thinks would be a good match for him, as demonstrated with Viola. She was impressed by Viola's photography skills and didn't hesitate to suggest she'd "keep her in mind" for Clemont. The same thing happened with Jessica, an apprentice at the Pokémon Hair Salon. Bonnie was impressed by Jessica's work and also offered her a marriage proposal. It's been shown on several occasions that she has much more willpower than her brother. When she sets her mind to something, she tries to achieve it by any means necessary, unlike Clemont, who often gives up after only a few attempts.

Jessie is a 25-year-old girl, tall, with long, curly magenta hair, blue eyes, wears green earrings, and constantly wears crimson red lipstick.

As a member of Team Rocket, she wears the team's uniform (interestingly, hers and James's uniform is different from that of many other members, as it should be primarily black instead of white, although this could also indicate a lower rank than regular members). It consists of a white shirt with the Team Rocket logo, a black crop top underneath that exposes her midriff, a miniskirt, black boots and gloves, and round green earrings.

Jessie is mean, but not in the way she thinks. She occasionally shows herself to be somewhat or very good with Pokémon, though she's usually only kind to her own. She can be mocking at times, using a squeaky, spoiled-girl voice. She's very competitive and only thinks about winning. She has a fierce rivalry with Cassidy, constantly bickering and teasing each other. She has very little patience and gets angry easily. She doesn't accept her flaws, is very vain, and believes she's perfect. She's intelligent and sociable, but she also dislikes being criticized or called old. She's passionate when representing Team Rocket, striking poses and energetically reciting the trio's motto. She often calls Ash and his companions "idiots" or "brats."

Wobbuffet
It's the first Pokémon from Johto and the one that has been with Jessie the longest. She obtained it by accidentally trading her Lickitung with a boy named Benny. While they were in Unova, it stayed at Team Rocket's main base on Giovanni's orders, but rejoined the team when they decided to travel to Kalos.

Gourgeist
It's the first Pokémon he catches in Kalos after stumbling upon it while exploring a bamboo forest in Lost in the Bamboo Forest!. In A Trade at the Festival! A Farewell at the Festival?, it evolves via trade with Count Pumpka's Mawile into Gourgeist, and then they trade them again.

James is a 25-year-old, tall young man with short blue hair, a tuft of hair sticking out on his forehead, green eyes, and wears the Team Rocket uniform, which is white.

As a member of Team Rocket, he wears the team's uniform (interestingly, his and Jessie's uniforms differ from those of many other members, featuring black as the primary color instead of white, though this could also indicate a lower rank than regular members). He wears a shirt with the team logo, "R," a black undershirt, long pants, black boots and gloves, and often holds a rose when reciting Team Rocket's motto.

James is the fun and humorous part of Team Rocket, and although he appeared to be a calculating, cunning and wicked man, his fun, joking and somewhat clumsy nature is quickly revealed.

You could say he's the least bad guy on the team and the one who respects Pokémon the most. In Kanto, he seemed diabolical and treacherous, but little by little he became a bit of a simpleton. For example, in an episode where May and Jessie accidentally swap their Pokémon, Jessie takes May's Pokémon too when they try to return them. But when something similar happens with James, he does return his Pokémon. Also, when some village elders hold a banquet for them in exchange for a favor, Jessie and Meowth want to betray them, but he says he'll help because they helped him. He also saved Temacu from hitting himself. He has a lot of affection for his Pokémon.

Inkay
James catches it in "A Battle of Aerial Mobility!" and it's the first Pokémon he catches in the Kalos region after arriving so soon. He managed to catch it using food as bait. It cares a lot for James.

Due to his ability to speak human language and understand Pokémon language (being one of them), he helps Jessie and James understand what other Pokémon say, although sometimes he has been used by other Pokémon by force to be able to communicate with humans, such as when Tentacruel used him in Tentacool and Tentacruel or when the Beheeyem hypnotized him to be able to communicate with Ash, Jessie and James.

She tried to keep the Togepi egg that Misty had because she became so attached to it that she wanted to incubate it like its mother.
