Many of us must have grown by watching Pokemon in our childhood. For most of the children, Ash Ketchum was among the most loved characters and Pikachu was among the most loved Pokemons in the cartoon or let's say anime series. In October 2022, Pokemon Ultimate Journeys: The Series was released on Netflix in the USA and finally after a span of 25 years, Ash Ketchum, the lead character in the Pokemon anime series, has finally become the world champion and won the title of world's greatest Pokemon trainer. With Ash Ketchum is officially the world champion now, fans are wondering whether he has any ladylove or asking who is Ash Ketchum's girlfriend.
Who is Ash Ketchum's girlfriend?
The answer to this question is Ash Ketchum does not have any girlfriend. Yes, you heard it right. Despite the series going on for more than 2 decades, Ash Ketchum does not have any girlfriend. The reason is Ash is still 10 years old and therefore he is too young to be in a serious relationship. Despite Pokemon is going on for more than 2 decades, Ash is yet to age. However, it does not mean Ash does not have any love interests. One of his traveling companions – Serena – is certainly his love interest. She definitely likes him and it is pretty clear that Ash likes her back. Now, the question arises who is Serena?
If you are a firm follower of Pokemon anime series, Serena is a Pokémon Performer from Vaniville Town, who played a major role in the series as Ash’s traveling companion in the XY season of the anime. Although she was not seen her before this season, it turns out that she’s known Ash for years before joining him on his adventures. Serena was sent to a summer camp organized by Professor Oak (Kanto’s Pokémon Professor). Ash attended that same camp. One day, Serena got lost in the woods and got slightly injured after being scared by a wild Poliwag. Ash, who was looking for that same Poliwag, found Serena and helped her. This is how they actually met, but the story was unknown to the viewers until the seventeenth season of the anime.
