Dawn (Hikari)

Dawn:

Dawn is a main female protagonist appearing in Pokémon the Series. She is a young Pokémon Coordinator, who traveled through the Sinnoh region, along with Ash Ketchum and Brock.

While traveling with the two boys, she honed her skills as a Pokémon Trainer and focused on becoming a Top Coordinator like her mother. While Dawn learned a lot through her travels, she also developed rivalries with many coordinators such as Zoey (her main rival, albeit a friendly one), Nando, Jessie, Kenny, and Ursula. She is partnered to a Piplup.

Dawn has a fair complexion, steel blue eyes, and long navy blue hair. Her usual outfit is a mini sweater dress consisting of a black V-neck tank top with a white shirt under it, a very short pink mini skirt, and a dark pink scarf. On her head, she wears a white beanie with a pink Poké Ball print on it. She also wears yellow hair clips that hold up her hair in front. She wears a bracelet on her right wrist and a Pokétch on her left. On her feet, she wears a pair of knee-length pink boots and black mid-knee socks above them. Her boots have a pink and white strap on the edge. The rims of her boots are white, while the soles of her boots are greyish-white. She also has a small yellow backpack with all of her personal belongings.

In her appearance in Pokémon Journeys: The Series, Dawn's appearance remains largely the same and her highlights from her navy blue hair becomes darker. Dawn also returns to wearing her Pokétch.

Dawn is carefree, upbeat, and cheerful. Whenever she makes a mistake, she often quickly recovers and strives to do better. She's also confident- even from the beginning of her journey, Dawn is very confident in her abilities (sometimes even a little overconfident, as shown when she ordered her newly evolved Ambipom to use Swift), though not to the same extent as Ash. Similarly to Ash, Dawn was eager to begin her journey and had a clear goal at the start as she wants to be Top Coordinator just like her mom Johanna. While she's kind and supportive, she is sometimes quick-tempered and often gets emotional when she loses, so Ash and Brock often have to help her cope. She also became very depressed when she lost two contests in a row, not even managing to get through the first round of appeals. However, she regained her confidence after she won the Wallace Cup, along with a new found sense of maturity. She is also very sensitive and supportive of her friends—a clear example occurred when she worked on a cheerleading recital to help Ash feel better after he fell into depression following his humiliating defeat at the hands of Paul. The same is shown when she tried to cheer up Maylene when she wasn't having much confidence. Dawn is always good at cheering other people. She also seems to be more fixated on her appearance than the other two main female characters in one episode, Dawn refused to show herself to Ash and Brock until she straightened out her bed hair.

Her team consists of: Piplup, Buneary, Mamoswine, Ambipom and Togekiss.

Ash Ketchum:

Ash is very determined to be a great Pokémon Trainer. Personality-wise, Ash is a strong person, shows confidence when battling and shows a lot of sympathy towards Pokémon, usually helping and befriending them through his long journey. As a result, Ash doesn't like Trainers who mistreat Pokémon, such as Damian, Paul, and Shamus. Ash also serves as a role model for many people such as May, Dawn, N, Serena, Sawyer, Lillie, and Goh. In fact, he often astounds people with his skills and abilities, and unpredictability. Ash's strategy and tactics in battle are usually problem-solving, including thinking on his feet during special matches or that relate to the special and unique abilities of Pokémon. Also, Ash even takes input from his friends and has always helped him whenever he was stuck in a jam.

Ash is generally kind, brave, enthusiastic, compassionate, passionate, adventurous, selfless, fair-minded, trusting, and good-natured. However, he can be stubborn, hot-headed, short-tempered, impatient, cocky, reckless, and sometimes impulsive at times. During his journey, Ash realized that some of those traits were affecting him, as they had caused him to lose some of his gym battles. By recognizing this, Ash trained himself for his rematches and keeping those parts of himself in check so they would not only affect him in battle again, but also outside of it as well. Although those traits still remain, they have been shown to be less of a problem during his Pokémon battles. Thanks to his hard work, Ash has corrected the hot-headed, cocky, and impulsive parts of his personality, though he still shows them if Pokémon were being mistreated, some of his friends teasing him, and various other reasons. Since then, Ash has demonstrated much greater maturity and level-headedness both in and out of battles. In addition, he has given everyone around him good advice to better themselves and their goals. Ash also has a fascination with science and technology, even though he cannot understand most of it.

His team's composed of: Pikachu, Monferno, Grottle, Gible and Staravia.

Brock:

Brock is one of the main characters in several series of Pokémon the Series. Brock was originally the Gym Leader of Pewter City Gym, but he decided to follow his dream to become the greatest Pokémon Breeder. After he lost in a match against Ash Ketchum, he quickly gave up his title. He accompanied Ash during his journey through several regions, all while trying to live up to his goal. He has traveled with Ash from Kanto to Sinnoh, where he has since worked as a Pokémon Doctor.

Brock's eyes appear to be closed all the time. The rare times he fully opens his eyes are when they are forced to open unnaturally; examples include when he was hit by Charmander's Flamethrower in "The Ninja Poké-Showdown", when he was hit in the back of the head by Arbok's tail in "Who Gets to Keep Togepi?", and when he made a face for Larvitar in "A Crowning Achievement". This has been the center of fan attention for a long time. He also has spiky dark Kournikova hair and tan skin, notably darker than other major characters in the anime, before Iris was introduced in Pokémon the Series: Black & White.

Along with Tracey, Cilan, and Kiawe, Brock is the tallest of Ash's traveling companions and the closest to looking like an adult. Next to actual adult characters, however, it is clear that he is still a teenager. Not counting temporary outfits, he has worn three different outfits, all of which have had the colors orange, green, and brown with blue shoes.

In Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl, he wears yet another new outfit, consisting of a green collared shirt, an orange vest with brown trim, khaki pants with knee stitching, and blue high-top sneakers.

His team is composed of Geodude and Onix.
