Then it's right back to the battle, where Medicham's attacks are proving to be pretty dangerous to Snorlax. After some close calls, Ash hits on a novel idea: have Snorlax use Hyper Beam to propel itself into the air and land on Medicham! This wins Ash the battle - and a shiny new Frontier Symbol!

Ash in DP had over 60 battles and lost over 20 of them : r/pokemonanime.

Red will be the first name on the lips of Pokémon fans, in terms of a Trainer who could still beat Ash even in his current rich vein of form. Red appears at the end of the Gen II games, acting as the final boss of the Kanto region, as the Elite Four and Lance did for Johto.

Gary Gary was Ash's OG rival. They knew each other since childhood and Gary thought that his identity as Oak's grandson makes him stronger than Ash. Their rivalry was childish and immature, like how all children should be.

A battle between the two would certainly be close, but there's no reason to think Red couldn't excel in the anime's system too. And while Ash has many strong Pokemon, he's released many of his strongest, and many of them are out of practice, while Red's team is regularly in combat and barely changing.

Misty makes it pretty clear throughout the series, especially in English, that she has some degree of romantic interest in Ash, although Ash's reciprocation is never all that clear. Misty tends to become jealous when other girls interact with Ash (for example, Melody in Pokémon the Movie 2000).

Ash Ketchum, the main character in the Pokémon animated series, does not have a confirmed wife or spouse in the series. As of my last knowledge update in September 2021, Ash is portrayed as a young Pokémon Trainer who travels with his friends and companions on various adventures to become a Pokémon Master.

Ash is the Red of the anime universe. The only way they'd ever cross paths is if there's some anime special where the entire gimmick is that the anime characters meet their game/manga versions. Ash greninja appears in the same game as red. Pretty much all ties Ash has to the games are superficial.

Yet, in his tenure in the anime series, Ash Ketchum never had an “official” girlfriend. However, there is one female companion that came close to capturing Ash's heart and that's Serena from Pokémon XY and XYZ, the seventeenth season and the sixth generation of Pokémon.

Who WILL misty marry? I think (and hope) it's Ash ketchum. What if Misty would be a Pokemon co-ordinator however she is a water trainer? Why is Misty so attractive in cosplays?
