Ash's friends: Difference between revisions

Misty joined Ash in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'', traveling with him because she wanted him to replace her [[Bicycle|bike]], which was destroyed by his {{AP|Pikachu}}. She would continuously travel with him until ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]'', when she returned to [[Cerulean City]] nearly full-time to lead [[Cerulean Gym|her family's gym]], though she briefly traveled to [[Hoenn]] and met up with Ash's {{series2|Advanced Generation}} group, and again to "escort" her back home.

Brock first joined Ash in ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'' after Ash {{pkmn|battle}}d him in the [[Pewter City]] [[Pewter Gym|Gym]]. After his father {{ka|Flint}} offered to take over the duties of [[Gym Leader]], Brock followed Ash through [[Kanto]], leaving briefly from ''[[EP083|Poké Ball Peril]]'' to ''[[EP115|A Tent Situation]]'' to work for [[Professor Ivy]]. After this episode, Brock returned to be with Ash and [[Misty]] until ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]'', though he, unlike Misty, would return shortly, in ''[[AG004|You Can Never Taillow]]'', sticking with Ash until [[AG192|the end of the series]]. He would again return in ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation!]]'', and is currently traversing [[Sinnoh]] with Ash as of the latest Japanese episode. Of all of Ash's friends, Brock is his closest friend and treats him like a brother.

Max is {{an|May}}'s younger brother. He did not have any Pokémon of his own because he was too young, but he often befriended certain Pokémon. He traveled with the group from ''[[AG003|There's no Place Like Hoenn]]'' until ''[[AG192|Home is Where the Start Is]]'', when he went home to [[Petalburg City]]. However, he made a promise to Ash that as soon as he got some, he would {{pkmn|battle}} Ash.
