Delia Ketchum is a supporting character from the Pokémon series.

Bio[edit | edit source]

Delia is the mother of main protagonist Ash Ketchum. The exact nature of his father remains elusive - the novelization of the series suggests Delia got pumped and dumped because Ash's dad wanted to travel the world as a Pokémon trainer. Of course, it's equally possible this is just something Delia told Ash because she couldn't get herself to admit Ash's dad went out to buy milk and smokes. Who knows.

What matters is that Delia is an adoring and hard-working single mom that raised Ash all by herself. At least until he also ran off at the age of ten so he could travel the world as a Pokémon trainer. That Delia hasn't developed a pathological degree of hatred towards Pokémon trainers seems like a small miracle, but with Ash out of the house, whatever happens in Pallet Town stays in Pallet Town.

In 8chanmania[edit | edit source]

Delia Ketchum fought in the Mother's Day-themed 8chanmania XCI, apparently having planned to claim Ness as a second son. She bested Haruka Hikari after the latter threatened to sic child protection services unto her for letting a ten-year-old travel the world without a responsible adult. Yet the same issue also drew outrage from Betty Newbie, and as Delia had to learn, Betty and outrage are an unhealthy combo.


Trivia[edit | edit source]

  • In the English dub of the show, both Delia and Ash Ketchum are voiced by the same voice actresses - originally Veronica Taylor, and Sarah Natochenny since 2006.
