I used to be a boy named Ash Ketchum, but after a strange event I was transformed into a female anthropomorphic Pikachu. Now my name is Ashley. While I'm more in touch with my feminine side, I'm still Ash at heart. I'm still boyish, determined, and fired up. I'm just more mature and motherly now since I can talk to Pokémon and understand their feelings more than ever before. I still wish to be Pokémon Master, but I wanna help Pokémon too, especially since I can now communicate with them.
