The Identity of Ash's Dad

[Pluslechu]

I think it might be Ho-Oh. Morty said in one of the episodes that Ash had somesort of connection with Ho-Oh, and Ash saw Ho-Oh in one of the first episodes of Pokemon. I think it's a reincarnation thing, like Ash's father died, and came back as Ho-Oh to watch over his wife and son. But that's just what I thing.

I don't really know... I wish they would tell us, though. ^_^; I've heard that it might be Giovanni. Who knows?

[Greed]

I am confused, I think its Giovanni or Ho-oh.. O_o;

A friend from Pikasurf told me that Ho-Oh probably turned into a man, errrr... played checkers with Ash's mum, then turned back into Ho-oh @@; Weird, huh? But it might just happen ^^;

*dies*

[tmbjr]

O_o

I read that artice at pikasurf too...Cas seems very passionate that Ho-oh is Ash's real dad.

I, on the other hand still hold on to the small possibility that it is Giovanni...

Same here that's the biggest thing about his dad that i ever heard.

*cracks up from cartoons post*
Anyway it might be possible that ho-oh is ashes father but it seems more believable that Gyovanii would be but i dont know im just guessing -_-;;.

[Greed]

Its pretty hard guessing who the heck is Ash's dad O_o;

Ho-oh being Ash's dad is laughable, but then again....

*dies*

[Pluslechu]

lol! ^^;; Actually, I did get that from Pikasurf...But the whole 'reincarnation' thing is kinda what I figured.....

Oh! Now I understand! I've read the article in Pikasurf!com and now all is in my face!
-
Now I'll talk about a boy named Sam (Samuel Oak).
When he was 14 years old, he have found a Celebi.
He traveled to past (around 300 years) and found a Ho-oH, who liked the boy and promised too protect he and his descendants.
When was 18 years old he separated of Celebi.
Some years later he found Mrs. Boss, and then birthed Giovanni Oak Boss.
Boss have been stopped the relation with Oak and continued to pay attention to her ONG (Team Rocket).
Giovanni married with Delia Ketchum and she turned pregnant.
They have not knew that was three twins (Ash, Gary and Daisy).
But some days before their birth Giovanni wanted to know all about his mother.
When the babies birthed, he decided to leave Delia and pick the babies.
When the hospital was near the close time he picked Gary and Daisy, when he returned to pick Ash, the hospital closed.
Giovanni discovered that his mother was a bad person, liked not the idea of create the children (Gary and Daisy).
He left the babies with his father (Sam Oak) and they was created like Oaks, and not Bosses.
Delia did that Ash thought that his father tried to be the Pokémon League Champion (he always watched the Pokémon League battles in TV).
Oak has moved to Pallet, and since this day he, Hale and Delia have turned friends together and "forever"...
-
Oh, I don't speak English, but we (my dictionary and I) did our best. Obviously, have many things that can be changed. Lance could be bro of Giovanni, and Gio did that to show to his mom how he worth to direct the Viridian Gym (Mrs. Boss picked Lance from the hospital too), or the gym could be hereditary, showing as Gary turned the Viridian Gymnasy Leader. Or all this is a lie and the Pokémon World don't exists neither in another dimension!!!...

[Imakuni?]

maybe gary+daisy have no parents and ash has no dad

[Evil Togepi]

Personally I think Ash's father is Goku from DBZ...ever notice how alike they are ESPECIALLY in looks :laugh:

The Ho-Oh idea seriously cracked me up XD

Professor Oak is a possibility too, hehehehehe! ;)

[Kayleigh]

Lol, I thought about Professor Oak too. Only because I've heard of too many Delia + Professor Oak stories. >_>; But then Ash would be... GARY'S UNCLE!!!!

[Miyu-chan]

lol, my brother and I were laughing over every possiblity. XD I think that either Ash's(Erugh, I loathe that name) father is Giovanni or an unknown pokemon trainer who has yet to appear. =P

I'm pretty sure there's one of these topics active at every single Pokemon messageboard in exsistance. x.x At Serebii.net, people are thinking the same thing.

Me? I can say confidently that Satoshi's father and grandfather are nothing more than wandering Pokemon trainers who lack legal training licences. That's what it says in 'Pocket Monsters - The Animation', and, although the stubborn fanbase likes to deny every word in that book, it's still an official source.

Ehm... But nobody ever listens to me on this issue, so continue. x.x()

[Voice_of_the_forest]

maybe Mr.mime is Ash's dad!!!!!!!! He's always home helping Delia!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mr.mime tricked us all!

[Imakuni?]

no no no... on da first episode of pokemon it says ashes dad left on his pkmn journy.. lol

[Ice Lugia]

Well, it doesn't say for certain in anything I know of. I have a feeling that was intended. It does add a bit of mystery. Well, I think that we can assume he is, or was, at the very least, human. If not, then that's too much detail. I can't say they'd bring him back. That'd add some sort of religion to Pokemon, which many authors discourage themselves from doing. As for his human form, it's a rather big mystery. I assume he is not divorced or something of the sort because the series really lacks any of the more problematic issues of real life. He could be dead. However, my guess is that he is off somewhere and that, perhaps, there will be a reunion. It certainly would be interesting. Of course, there is a big chance that this is just something which remains a mystery forever. I'll stick with that last bit. Pokemon is just not too filled with the realities of life, and a "long lost parent" may or may not be pushing that limit.

[Latios Master]

I always had a feeling that Ash's dad was either Giovanni or some other known character, but now I think his dad is a trainer or gym leader in Hoenn or in a future region. I think I remember reading something about his dad being in Hoenn for sure, but I don't know...

[Pluslechu]

Hmmm....It would add a bit of religion now that I think about it...Okay, never mind my rediculouse idea then ^_^;;

Dont double / triple post, edit your posts.. thats what the button is for.

[igtica]

OUCH! as Av said, please don't double or triple post Pluslechu. It wastes space. Besides you can easily add more to your post through the use of the edit button.

Anyways....Well I don't think that it would be possible for Ho-oh to be Ash's Dad. There are some realistic principles that pokemon stick to, and I think that this would cut this idea out. Though as they say in Cardcaptors "Expect the unexpected now", so you never no I guess, but I think it's highly unlikely. As for Giovanni, again I really doubt it. If it was me i would not like to take the pokemon tale down what could be a complicated path. Especially if you consider possible complication which need to be explained, and wouldn't be suitable for the auidience it's made for.


I ask why just stop at Giovanni and Ho-oh. Ash's dad could be anyone. Though my guess is that it's someone that we have not yet met...maybe never will, or that he's not alive.

[Phoenix Boy]

i hate to say it but i think ashes dad could be dead

Or ashes mon could have adopted ash at a very young age

[orange*berry]

Thanks very much! I LOVE this pun, it's from such a long time ago (like the 3rd episode i think) but its still so great. Mushimushimushi-ushiiii!!! Hahah I actually go around saying that to people sometimes if someone mentions bugs. LOL.

BTW I got my icon from chuchan (http://www.livejournal.com/users/chuchan/) on LiveJournal. She makes really great icons, there are more Satoshi ones and some Rocket Dan as well.

TeeHee. X3 That was a terribly cute pun. I adore that episode.

Phoenix Boy: Maybe! You never know. He could have died on his journey, and no one would even know it. x.x That's why I loath his father. *hugs poor, lonely Hanako* I doubt if she adopted him, though. x.x()

this tread is getting old. We already know who ash's dad is.

We do? I'm pretty sure we don't actually 'know' him, but I know he's just a normal guy who travels about. n.n()

=/ Well, um. My opinion on this...

The Ho-Oh theory may seem stupid and arguementable, but there's actually more evidence to back that up than the others theories...except him being dead. The changing into a human thing makes sense...in an odd way. My friend made a point saying that Gastly did in that one episode. Um. I forgot. Well, there's no way it can be Giovanni. Ash doesn't look like him at all. It really depends on what your opinion is, though.

Ash's dad is probably dead, and if he really was alive, he probably wouldn't care about Ash at all. He's been gone for what, 10 years?

Mushimushimushi-wha? 0_o sorry for my stupidity XD

[orange*berry]

Mushi means 'bug', and Ushi means 'cow'. It was mentioned in...umm...the third episode was it? Satoshi popped up in a cow costume. =P

I don't know, people changing into pokemon and vice versa just seems that bit too unreal. Gastly never changed into a person. it was an illusion. That's in the episode 'The Ghost of Madien's Peak' were it creates the illusion of the old woman and the ghost of the madien among other things, but that's as close as it gets. I doubt that Ho-oh could create such an illusion, and that an illusion would actually work in...erm...such circumstances.

=/ You've got a point...I should tell that to my friend. Wait till she hears that. XD

Still though, it could actually be Ho-Oh. I mean, it sorta is the Pokemon god...in an odd way. It did create Entei, Raikou and Suicune, so maybe it could do more than that. But, er...I don't know about other things, though. Otherwise, I find it just quite odd. Like I said, he's probably dead or he probably doesn't give about his family.

aww I didn't want to burst you friends bubble. Just making a point. I see what you mean about the Ho-oh creating the Legendary dogs, but again that's only a legend. And like legends in our own world there may or may not be truth behind it. You just never know ^_^ I guess that's one of the many great things about pokémon. I love that line at the beginning of the first movie, it explains all:
"Life, the great meaning and the great mystery."
