Approved good articles. Pure good. Like mother, like daughter. Hi! I am Athena Ketchum. I am Ash Ketchum's little sister and the daughter of Dr. Delia Ketchum and the current mayor of Pallet Town, Red Oak-Ketchum. Ash and Athena were born 11 years apart. Ash is 14 years old and a school student while Athena is 3 years of age. Unlike her older brother, Athena began as kind and sweet. She loves her brother so much and he loves her back too. She's got her mom's intelligence and smarts and her dad's kindness and honesty.
