Ash Ketchum is a pokemon trainer from Pallet Town. His pokemon skills are not to be denied. He’s proved time and time again that no one can match his skills. Ritchie is a rival that Ash beat up in the end. He just didn’t have the skills that Ash has. Of course it makes sense…Ash Is the main character after all.

Ash has owned an array of pokemon strong enough to destroy earth as we know it. That’s the kind of power that Ash has. Ash may just be the ultimate pokemon trainer and shows that in the end, the more pokemon the better. Ritchie may be back someday. Ash wins.
