Delia Ketchum

Delia runs Pallet Town's only restaurant, Pallet House, which she inherited from her mother. When she was younger, she dreamed of becoming both a model and a Pokémon Trainer, but abandoned those dreams to run the restaurant after Ash was born. the reason why she raised Ash by herself is that his father married her fast and then left just as fast due to him being a Pokémon Trainer. It is also implied that the reason he didn't return is because they achieved nothing in their goal.

Delia is a very kind, smart, loving and caring woman, but when she's mad, she's very vocal about it. She knows her son's psychology and personality very well and is very, very proud of him as a true hero. Delia is a relatively reserved woman. She is usually quiet and cheerful, but when angered, she makes it known and she has perseverance.

Delia was once a student of Professor Oak, along with Spencer Hale.

When she was younger Delia dated Giovanni and was in his gang, but took a better route in life when she met Ash's father.

Delia has traveled lots of different places in the world to visit her son on adventures, places like Seafoam Island, Hollywood, Unova region, Alola region.

Delia lives in Pallet Town witch is part of the Indigo Plateau area and part of Kanto region.

Delia accompanied Professors Oak and Ivy to the Orange Islands when the freak weather storms caused by the legendary birds began to wreak havoc worldwide. All the while, she worried about her son's well-being. She and Oak eventually made it to Shamouti Island towards the end of the film, after Lugia had calmed the legendary birds and brought the storms to an end. She scolded Ash for risking his life in undergoing his role as "the chosen one", but later admitted that he was her hero.

Delia played a key role. She arrived in Greenfield upon hearing about what happened to Spencer Hale, as well as the subsequent crisis in Greenfield. Soon after, she was kidnapped by the illusionary Entei created by the Unown and taken to the crystal tower, where she was forced to act as a "mother" to Molly Hale. Ash and his friends made their way into the former Hale mansion to rescue her. In the process, they had to battle Entei and the Unown, who were feeding upon the emotions of the grieving Molly, in the process.

Delia lives in Pallet Town with Mimey, a Mr. Mime that she befriended. She is shown to care for Ash deeply, as he is her only child. She does reprimand him sometimes, when she told him to go to bed so he would be ready for his first day as a Pokémon Trainer and when he was late getting up. Throughout Ash's journey, Delia has mainly stayed at home.

Delia quickly took a liking to Ash's Litten, giving it the nickname Litty and soothing the solitary Pokémon by stroking its chin. Litten was seen with Delia throught her visit to the Pokémon School during its visiting day. When Team Skull Grunts attacked, Delia took command of Litten to battle their Zubat.
