According to [[Takeshi Shudō]]'s novelization, she runs Pallet Town's only restaurant, Pallet House, which she inherited from her mother. When she was younger, she dreamed of becoming both a model and a [[Pokémon Trainer]], but abandoned those dreams to run the restaurant after {{Ash}} was born. ''[[Pocket Monsters: The Animation]]'' also elaborates that the reason why she raised Ash by herself is that his father married her fast and then left just as fast due to him being a Pokémon Trainer. It is also implied that the reason he and Ash's grandfather didn't return is because they achieved nothing in their goal.

Delia made her debut in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', telling Ash that he should get to bed for his big day tomorrow. She was then seen in front of [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] with a small group of people from Pallet Town, cheering Ash on as he walked out with {{AP|his first Pokémon|Pikachu}}. She was shown to be very sad that her little boy was growing up, but quickly put it aside to tell him everything that she had packed in his [[bag|backpack]] for his journey. When she unintentionally insulted Pikachu, who was already upset at getting Ash for a Trainer, he used his {{m|Thunder Shock}} and shocked the entire group.

She was seen again in the [[EP002|the next episode]] when Ash decided to call her while waiting for his Pikachu to be healed by [[Nurse Joy]]. She seemed to be surprised that he was already in {{ci|Viridian}}. She also mentioned his father, saying it took him four days to get there when he began his Pokémon journey. Mentioning that his father would be proud of him, she commented that he was the apple of his eye. When he continued to shoot down her words of encouragement, she became angry and scolded him by telling him that he can do anything he set his mind to.

She made an appearance in ''[[EP018|Beauty and the Beach]]'', where she, along with [[Professor Oak]] and [[Gary Oak|Gary]], visited [[Porta Vista]].

She appeared again in ''[[EP064|It's Mr. Mime Time]]'', watching a performance of the Pokémon Circus. She watched what appeared to be a {{p|Mr. Mime}}, but was actually Ash in costume. This was only revealed to her when Ash fought {{TRT}}, later stealing their balloon. Later, she invited {{an|Brock}} and {{an|Misty}} over to her house for lunch. A [[wild Pokémon|wild]] Mr. Mime that Ash, Brock, and Misty saw at the beginning of the episode tapped on the window, and Delia thought it was Ash. When letting "Ash" in for a snack, the real Ash appeared, revealing to Delia that the Mr. Mime wasn't fake. Ash asked Mr. Mime to help him, and Delia encouraged it, offering it a big dessert. Later, when Team Rocket stole the circus's Pokémon with a tank, she had the wild Mr. Mime help stop Team Rocket. [[Stella]]'s Mr. Mime and the wild one built a solid tower around the tank, causing Team Rocket's missile to rebound and send them blasting off again. At the end of the episode, the wild Mr. Mime, whom Delia had nicknamed [[Mimey]], decided to stay with her.

Delia next appeared in ''[[EP065|Showdown at the Po-ké Corral]]''. Ash greeted his mother in the kitchen and told her that Mimey had vacuumed his face to wake him up, to which she responded that Mimey generally cleaned dirty things. She also told him that Mimey only listens to her. Later in the episode, Team Rocket appeared as a news crew at her house, claiming that they wanted to have an interview with Ash, but Delia told them that Ash was at {{Prof|Oak}}'s laboratory.

She reappeared in ''[[EP078|A Friend In Deed]]'', standing outside a restaurant in the Indigo Plateau with Prof. Oak, where she met up with Ash and his friends.

In ''[[EP079|Friend and Foe Alike]]'', she watched Ash's round five battle against Ritchie with Brock, Misty, and Prof. Oak, and wondered why Ash was not there for the start, unaware that he had been kidnapped by Team Rocket. She was very relieved when he eventually showed up.

Delia appeared in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', which is set in a different continuity from the main series. On the day {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|M20|Ash}} was supposed to get his first Pokémon, Delia woke him up, as he had accidentally broken his alarm clock and slept late. When her son asked her why she had not awakened him, she reminded him that he had told her he could wake up himself on such an important day. After {{an|Professor Oak}} gave Ash his first Pokémon, {{OBP|Ash's Pikachu|M20|Pikachu}}, Delia showed up at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] to give her son new clothes and a backpack for his journey. She remarked Ash had already become friends with Pikachu, after which Pikachu shocked Ash, Delia, and Professor Oak.
 
She later spoke with Ash via a video conversation, worried and upset that Ash had not called her earlier. She spoke to him again later in the movie, where she was introduced to [[Verity]] and [[Sorrel]]. She appeared once more near the end of the movie, cleaning Ash's room before spotting a rainbow in the sky.

[[File:Delia Ketchum M20.png|thumb|250px|Delia Ketchum in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'']]
Delia appeared in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', which is set in a different continuity from the main series. On the day {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|M20|Ash}} was supposed to get his first Pokémon, Delia woke him up, as he had accidentally broken his alarm clock and slept late. When her son asked her why she had not awakened him, she reminded him that he had told her he could wake up himself on such an important day. After {{an|Professor Oak}} gave Ash his first Pokémon, {{OBP|Ash's Pikachu|M20|Pikachu}}, Delia showed up at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] to give her son new clothes and a backpack for his journey. She remarked Ash had already become friends with Pikachu, after which Pikachu shocked Ash, Delia, and Professor Oak.
She later spoke with Ash via a video conversation, worried and upset that Ash had not called her earlier. She spoke to him again later in the movie, where she was introduced to [[Verity]] and [[Sorrel]]. She appeared once more near the end of the movie, cleaning Ash's room before spotting a rainbow in the sky.
