These companions are usually native to the region Ash travels to at the beginning of each series, accompanying him for reasons that in the beginning range from collecting on a debt (initially the case for Misty), seeing the world (May), sheer happenstance (Dawn and Iris), to personal and/or romantic interest (Serena) but that later shifts to achieving a personal goal (Misty sought to refine her talents as a Water Pokémon Trainer May wanted to become Pokémon Coordinator Dawn is already a Pokémon Coordinator when she started her journey Iris aimed to become a Dragon Master and Serena eventually decided on being a Pokémon Performer). While each companion has their own individual traits, goals, character arcs and teams of Pokémon, they all fit within an archetype of some sort. For the purposes of this article, the term traveling companion - or more simply companion - only refers to human characters who travel with or have traveled with Ash at some point in the series. To date, Ash has had seventeen companions throughout the series, excluding those who have only accompanied him for a short time ( Alexa, Korrina, etc.), his Pokémon and the companions he traveled with in Pokémon The Movie: I Choose You!. Each companion usually has one or more characteristics that fit them into one or more archetypes (see below). Traveling companions are for the most part temporary, only lasting until a region is finished, the exceptions being Brock who accompanied Ash in Kanto and again later on from Johto to Sinnoh, Misty who ventured from Kanto to Johto then making appearances in both Hoenn and Alola, and Pikachu, who is a permanent member of Ash's roster of Pokémon. In the anime, traveling companions are the people who accompany Ash Ketchum throughout his travels in his journey to become a Pokémon Master.
