A 36-year-old man who has inexplicably remained biologically identical to a
ten-year-old
boy for a quarter of a century, Ash Ketchum is notable for embarking on a seemingly eternal quest to become a Pokemon Master alongside his on-off girlfriend (as any
fan will tell you), a yellow electrically-charged (and extremely marketable) mutant and an excessively horny older
teenager who never opens his eyes for fear of revealing the depths of hell lurking inside them. As even Ash has admitted that the concept of a Pokemon Master is basically vague nonsense, he's essentially doomed himself to wandering rough around the forest for the rest of his life.
"In this
world, nothing can be
said to be certain, except for death, taxes, the continuation of the Simpsons and Ash Ketchum never becoming a Pokemon Master" - Benjamin Franklin
"What dost thou mean, thou idiot,
cheating death is far more certain that Ash Ketchum achieving anything like that!" - typically-forgotten response by John Adams
