Ash Ketchum
Ash Ketchum is the protagonist of the Pokémon animated series, a perpetually young trainer from Pallet Town whose goal is to become a Pokémon Master.
His name puns on the franchise's slogan "Gotta catch 'em all." Ash appears in references to ambitious but never-quite-achieved goals, eternal optimism, or refusal to age: He's been chasing that promotion for years—total Ash Ketchum energy.
