Decided to make a few changes with my Pokemon fankid group and one of them is giving Ash and Serena an extra child. There are some other changes which I will show later but for now here is Benjiro Ketchum the middle child of the Ketchum Kids. I really like how this picture came out. While he grew up in Kalos his first region he started his journey was Kanto and this picture is after he has gotten his first badge.Benjiro Ketchum
Age 11
Date of birth: October 12th
Gender: Male
Parents:
· Ash Ketchum (Father)
· Serena Ketchum (Mother)
Nicknames:
· Ones he like: Ben, B-Boy
· Ones he doesn’t like: Benjy Boy, BB.
The best way to describe Benjiro is hyper active kid who wear his heart on his sleeve which leads him to rush into things without thinking them through, The polar opposite to his fraternal twins Crisanto. While he is one to get caught up in the moment very easily, he is also able to calm down very easily and not dwell on past mistakes. Over the years he has grown a love of Pokémon, fame and technology and tries to use Pokémon battles to be as famous as his parents. While he prefers the city life and not really fond of the outdoors he still dreams of going out on his first Pokémon journey and becoming a Pokémon master like his dad. He seems to have picked up his grandma’s habit of nicknaming every one of his Pokémon. Due to an event in his past he gained a fear of lightning and electric attacks.
Pichu Gender: Male
Nickname: “Chu”
Lv 13
Chu is Benjiro’s first Pokémon and closest pal. Chu is always affectionate and friendly with everyone, with a habit of nuzzling everyone he meets. He was found by Benjiro as an egg on Blush Mountain during a Ketchum Alolan Vacation. Got the nickname chu because he always adds an extra “chu” at the end of every sentence. Him and Benjiro became best friends and also helps him with his fear of lighting since Chu can absorb most lighting with the ability.
Hoothoot
Gender: Female
Nickname: Z’s (Zee-s)
Lv 9
Z’s is a pretty laid back and chill Pokémon, preferring not to start a conflict if she can avoid it. She was the first Pokémon Benjiro caught on his Pokémon journey, in the Viridian Forest. Z’s joined Benjiro because she liked his and Chu’s hyper attitude.
Mankey
Gender: Male
Nickname: Dodger
Lv 13
Dodger is a quiet Pokémon who has a bit of a serious nature to him preferring to train than play around and have fun. He met Bejiro’s group on route 3 as they were heading to Mt Moon, and liked Benjiro’s fighting spirit and drive to be the best trainer. He likes to battle and would be the first to volunteer battling a new opponent.
