Ash's main goal in life, as described in [[EP001|the first episode]], is to be the world's greatest [[Pokémon Master]]. | |||
One particular characteristic about Ash that has not changed over the course of the series aside from his determination and his passion for raising and training Pokémon is that he is incredibly selfless. He will often (and this has happened for just about every one of his Pokémon) go to extraordinary lengths to earn a Pokémon's trust and respect; and he will often go out of his way to better understand a Pokémon that he sees as troubled. He is also very fair-minded and trusting, a true testament to his good-natured character. | |||

Ash's | Ash enrolled in {{an|Professor Oak}}'s Pokémon Summer Camp when he was young. One day when {{an|Serena}} was lost in a forest, Ash came to her rescue when she fell after getting startled by an unknown Pokémon which turned out to be a {{p|Poliwag}}. He gave her a handkerchief to tend her knee. He helped her up as they walked out of the forest together. | ||
Years later, Ash began his journey at the age of 10 as a warm-hearted and well-intentioned but stubborn, rash and amateur [[Pokémon Trainer]]. He was forced to accept the cheeky {{AP|Pikachu}} from Professor Oak as his [[starter Pokémon]] because he carelessly broke his alarm clock in his sleep and woke up late on the day he was set to get his first Pokémon. He was determined to achieve his goal, however, and when Pikachu saw that he was willing to compromise his own safety to keep it safe he formed a strong bond of friendship with Pikachu. This would set his course for the future. | |||

However, from that point, Ash still had a lot to learn about becoming a Trainer. The [[Ash's Butterfree|first Pokémon]] he {{pkmn2|caught}}, was caught by luck, as he knew absolutely nothing about [[Pokémon battle|battling]], and was hesitant to admit it whenever he was wrong. Many of his first [[Gym]] [[Badge]]s were given to him merely out of gratitude for his assistance rather than claiming an actual victory in battle over the [[Gym Leader]]s; of his first five Gym battles, only his victory over [[Lt. Surge]] was an actual victory. Every time he thought he was doing well, he would somehow cross paths with his childhood [[rival]], [[Gary Oak]]. He always reminded Ash that he was always a step or seven behind, with Gary catching around forty-five Pokémon by the time Ash had only caught his {{AP|seventh|Kingler}}. This hampered matters further when, owing to his inexperience, his {{AP|Charizard}}, one of his most powerful Pokémon, refused to listen to him until [[EP105|Ash could prove himself]] to the powerful Fire type. | However, from that point, Ash still had a lot to learn about becoming a Trainer.

In the {{series|XY}}, Ash travels to the [[Kalos]] region with [[Alexa]], whom he met while traveling in the [[Decolore Islands]]. He first visited [[Lumiose City]] in ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]'', where he parted ways with Alexa and tried to challenge the [[Lumiose Gym]] at [[Prism Tower]], only to be forcibly ejected from the tower when the computerized security system found out that he doesn't have any badges. He is rescued by {{an|Clemont}} and {{an|Bonnie}}, who travel with him after he calms down a rampaging {{p|Garchomp}} at the top of Prism Tower. In [[XY006]], Ash wins his first Kalos Badge, the [[Bug Badge]], after defeating the [[Santalune Gym|Santalune Gym Leader]] [[Viola]]. The group is also joined by {{an|Serena}}, who turns out to be a girl he met in his childhood during Professor Oak's Pokémon Summer Camp, although he doesn't remember the two of them meeting. | In the {{series|XY}}, Ash travels to the [[Kalos]] region with [[Alexa]], whom he met while traveling in the [[Decolore Islands]].
