The Top Ten
1 Samual oak

It’s thought since both ash’s mom & prof oak spend lots of time together there must of been something going on between them... but it’d be pretty weird with Gary being his GRANDSON & ash is Delia’s son & ash & Gary are both 10... so that would mean Oak’s son & him had a son around the same time... It’s odd though. Because they obviously don't live together.

2 Giovanni

This one is pretty popular, though hard to see as he & Delia have brown hair, & ash has black... regardless, this would be an interesting twist & could make Giovanni more sympathetic.

GIOVANNI: Oak never told you what happened to your father.
ASH: He told me enough. He told me you killed him.
GIOVANNI: No. I AM your father.
ASH: No. No. That's not true. That's impossible!
GIOVANNI: Search your feelings, you know it to be true!
ASH: NO! NOO!

3 Mr. Mime Mr. Mime, known in Japan as Barrierd, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.

Yeah, beastiality... well, I think people believe that since mr.mime helps out Delia even when she’s not his trainer means he knows her previously. I can get behind this theory if mr.mime was originally a human but got cursed into a Pokemon via pulling a tail of a ninetales (like gengar from team meanies) or something like that.

what?!

Ash’s father is a pokemon?

4 Mystery trainer with rapidash

In the DP series ash recalled some of his past & showed a person with a rapidash with a younger version of ash starring excitedly at them. Many conclude that this could be ash’s father. However, the guy has brown hair (while ash has black) & from what it seems the person looked around 10 yrs old or at most in his teens while ash looked 3-5 yrs old 🤮

5 Red Red is a Pokémon Trainer from Pallet Town, Kanto. He is the first character to be playable in the Pokémon series and his initial appearance is set in the Generation I main games. He has since then made various appearances in Pokémon media, including the Generation III remakes of Red, Green, Blue, FireRed and LeafGreen.

From looks to fashion choices to the Pokemon they use, it wouldn't be hard to believe that red is ash’s father... except for the fact it makes no sense. Team Rocket with Giovanni as their leader was disbanded by red. Also all the people ash knows red did too & at basically they didn't age if ash is his kid?

6 Silver (anime)

He shares a lot of similarities with ash like having a Pokemon on his shoulder & caring for Pokemon. There’s a good possibility he’s ash’s dad.

7 Riley

Both have black hair & have aura seeing abilities. So him is more believable than anyone.

8 Sir aaron

This is also from Aaron’s aura abilities. However, this makes no sense whatsoever. Aaron is from the distant past probably before Delia was even born. Even with celebi, it would’ be easy for him to leave as a knight & he was found stoned.

9 Bruno

They have similar features & value being close to Pokemon & he trains close to pallet town so some believe he could be ash’s dad.

10 Norman

Maybe this is just told to me to annoy me lol. It’s theorized because they are similar in personality & have similar hair color. Since they are both oblivious about love stuff a few think they could be related. But that would mean Norman would’ve woohoo’ed Delilah & Caroline around the same time (both ash & May are 10 yrs old) & Delilah is in Kanto & Caroline is in Hoenn. He’d somehow woohoo’ed them both when he has to go by boat/plane to get to the other? I guess one of them could’ve moved away after Norman choose... but since he’s pretty oblivious it makes no since he’d sting two girls along like that?
