Ash Ketchum. He set out at a young age with only one goal in mind, to be the Pokemon Master. He has gone through many trials. He has fought an evil group of terrorists on a daily basis. He has been electrocuted, blown up, and set ablaze with fire. He has found Pokemon thought only to be a myth. He has always rose to the challenge to overcome every obstacle. However, he can never accomplish his goal. A greedy corporation in Japan made a show called Pokemon, a documentary of the of Ash Ketchum on his journey. At first, Ash was all for the show, but then the show started getting stale and redundant. The camera crew often got into his personal life, for example, his relationship with Misty. The show is the reason they had to split apart. It was heartbreaking. The heads of the Pokemon added in new characters over time, but it just wasn't the same. Ash started to realize what this show means for him. He can never be a Pokemon Master. The men in charge can't cancel the show because it rakes in to much money. Money that comes from, not only the show, but trading cards and other merchandise. The show is nothing but a vicious circle now. The once energetic boy in the beginning, is now a deformed annoying version of his former self. He will never accomplish his goal...
