Letâs talk about Ashâs unnamed father.
Ashâs father came to Pallet Town for assistance from Professor Oak about a temperamental Tangela he had recently caught. He meets Delia when he goes to eat at Pallet House after it was recommended to him by Oak.
Once he and Delia become a couple, he started calling her âFlowerâ. He was actually an alright boyfriend, even if he was more. . .physical in his affection and mindset. Their relationship lasted roughly 5 months.
When Delia finds out that she is pregnant, he initially sticks around to help raise their baby. However, he changes his mind after a few weeks, deciding that he didnât want to be a father and knowing that Delia would want to keep the baby, he decided to leave and never come back.
Before and after the baby is born, Delia made several attempts to contact him, but he never gave her a response. As far as he knows, he has a son named Ash.
As well as not being a good father, he is a bad trainer too. He hasnât won a single gym badge or tournament, which he believes his PokĂ©mon are at fault. Itâs actually due to his bad training and battle skill. He isnât too kind with them either. He currently is on âbreakâ from his journey.
The last time Delia saw Ashâs father, he was 18 years old and stood at 5âČ5âł.
