Ash Ketchum is a boy who once left home to become a Pokémon trainer. The Pokémon he starts off with is Pikachu. When Ash and Pikachu left Ash's home town of Pallet they saw Ho-oh- a Pokémon based on the legendary bird the Phoenix who only appears to saints. Ash and Pikachu eventually became best friends with his two other friends Brock and Misty, who joined Ash on his Pokémon journey, who helped him to collect all eight badges and get into the indigo league. He finished in the top sixteen where his rival, Gary, finished behind him.

He got his first badge by his Pikachu thunder shocking the sprinklers the water came down on Brock's Onix and Ash wins the Boulder Badge.

He won the Cascade Badge when he was about to beat Misty's Starmie. When Team Rocket came and stole all the water with a giant Hoover Ash comes to the rescue by pushing the lever down and the water comes back out into the pool and Misty's sisters give him the cascade badge.

He gets the thunder badge by defeating Lt Surges Raichu and wins the thunder badge. He gets the marsh badge by getting a haunter from Pokémon tower and making Sabrina laugh and by doing that her Kadabra couldn't stop laughing, and was unable to battle, so Sabrina's father declares Ash the winner. He wins the rainbow badge by bravely going into the fire and Rescuing Erika's Gloom and Erika gives him the rainbow badge.

He wins the soul badge by defeating Koga outside the gym because Team Rocket destroying Koga's gym and when he defeats Koga. Koga gives him the soul badge. He wins the volcano badge when Blaine's gym is about to erupt and they barely escape.
They have their battle on top of the volcano and Ash's Charizard uses seismic toss and knocks out Blaine's Magmar. He wins the Earth badge by defeating Jessie and James with Giovanni's Pokémon. All his Pokémon faint except Pidgeotto and Ash goes on to win the battle for the Earth badge.

After the indigo league Ash heads back to his home town of Pallet and has a party with all the folks from pallet town. After that he head off to the Orange Islands. Professor Oak asks him to get the GS ball for him. From here gets a new friend in the Orange islands called Tracey. When he joined, Brock stayed with Ivy. At the end of the Orange islands saga, he returned home and Tracey stayed with Oak, while he, Brock, Misty and Pikachu continued on to the Johto League.

Pokémon (This bit by Psythor & Iceduck)

Pikachu

Given to Ash by Prof Oak in episode #1 Pokémon - I Choose You!. Refused to evolve to beat Lt Surge in episode #14, Electric Shock Showdown. Beat Lt Surge single handedly in the same episode. Nearly left but didn't in #39, Pikachu's Goodbye.

Caterpie

Caught in Ash Catches a Pokémon and evolves into Metapod in the same episode. It evolves into Butterfree in Challenge of the Samurai. It becomes Ash's random throw-in-fail-pull-back Pokémon until its departure in Bye Bye Butterfree, in which Butterfree suddenly becomes inhumanly strong and leaves.

Pidgeotto

Pidgeotto was caught in Ash Catches a Pokémon. It remained as Ash's Team Rocket balloon destroyer until it evolved in Pallet Party Panic, in which it evolves to Pidgeot and stays to take care of the little Pidgeys and Pidgeotto.

Metapod

He came between Caterpie and Butterfree and did nothing- much like Tracey between Kanto and Johto.

Butterfree

Evolved from Metapod in . Left in Bye Bye Butterfree after finding a genetically mutated Pink Butterfree more attractive than Ash. No surprise there, then.

Bulbasaur

He first appeared in Bulbasaur and the Hidden Village, the first of three sequential Get-All-The-Starters episodes. He refused to evolve in Bulbasaur's Mysterious Garden. He goes back to Oak in Bulbasaur... The Ambassador. Bulbasaur was a random battler on Ash's team, as well as a versatile Pokémon due to its Vine Whip attack. It often used its vines to grab, hold and stabilize things. Razor Leaf was often used to break, snap or rip things. This meant Bulbasaur was always useful, but never developed.

Charmander

Charmander was the second starter to be "earned". He used to belong to the person with the worst British accent in the world, Damien. Acquired in Charmander - The Stray Pokémon. He evolved into Charmeleon in March of the Exeggutor Squad after flaming the backsides off of several hundred Exeggutor.. He then stopped listening to Ash. He evolved into Charizard in Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon and started actively setting Ash on fire. He beat Magmar in Volcanic Panic; one of his many high points. Eventually, he calmed down in Charizard Chills. He left in Fighting Flyer with Fire. He returned for a while in Pokémon 3.

Squirtle

In the last of the sequential starting Pokémon episodes, Here Comes the Squirtle Squad, Squirtle joins Ash's squad after being the Ronnie Cray of the Pokémon world for a while. It does nothing interesting for 96 episodes- then Squirtle helps save some people in the The Pokémon Water War. Squirtle finally leaves in The Fire-ing Squad!, having not even evolved. Ash Ketchum: Worlds greatest trainer.

Raticate

Raticate does nothing. Ash trades his Butterfree for this Raticate during Battle Aboard the St. Anne after beating the Raticate with his Butterfree. Later on in the episode Ash is so upset he's lost his 13 episode long friend, and trades back.

Muk

Ash captures Muk at the end of Sparks Fly For Magnemite. Because it stinks so much, Ash sends it to Oak in the same episode. You know who your friends are.

Primeape

Primeape is caught in Primeape Goes Bananas!, after an incident that can only be described by "Donut, Pigs, Action". After a few episodes with a few weak jokes about how Primeape will go nuts so Ash won't use him. He finally leaves in The Punchy Pokémon. Ash gives him to a superior trainer named Anthony.

Charmeleon

Scroll up to Charmander!

Charizard

Scroll up to Charmander!

Tauros

Tauros was caught in the banned episode, the The Legend of Dratini. Well, lots of Tauros were. We can't see the episode though because of the trigger happy Safari zone warden- why didn't he just lose his teeth?

Pidgeot

Evolved from Pidgeotto in Pallet Party Panic, and incidentally, in true Ash fashion, left in the same episode because it actually became quite good!

Lapras

Ash stole a little baby Lapras from its family in The Lost Lapras. After using it for a surfing slave for several independent episodes, until finally leaving Viva Las Lapras.

Snorlax

Ash got the Pokémon in Snack Attack. It now resides in the care of Prof Oak only reappearing for a "hilarious" phone call situation.

Heracross

Caught in A Sappy Ending. Heracross remains at the forefront of Ash's wonderful attack plan, otherwise known "fight opponents with Pokémon that have a weakness to the opponent".

Chikorita

Ash gets this peanut shaped piece of absurdity in Chikorita Rescue. Commits an act of evolving in Turning Over a New Bayleef. Unbelievable, even after that, titles are still decaying in quality.

Cyndaquil

Instead of obtaining Cyndaquil in the episode immediately following Chikorita Rescue, the writers fob us off with a roughly twenty episode gap until Good 'Quil Hunting. Unsurprisingly, Cyndaquil has done nothing interesting since.

Totodile

Totodile joins to "cool crew" in The Totodile Duel. Didn't do much except fall in love with an Azumarill in Love, Totodile Style.

Noctowl

Ash caught a shiny Pokémon! What are the chances of that? The most undeserving people get all the luck. Caught sometime Fowl Play. Woo.

Bayleef

Evolved from Chikorita in Turning Over a New Bayleef.
