The Top Ten
1 Dawn (Sinnoh) Dawn is a character from Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise. In the games diamond, pearl, and platinum version she was one of the playable characters you can choose from. She will be an assistant for professor Rowan if you choose her male counterpart, Lucas. ...read more.

I am a pokeshipper but Dawn is also great.
Girly but tough and awesome.

I also like pearlshipping because Dawn and Ash a really great friends!
I won't mind if you say Dawn is better than Misty but never Serena.

Dawn is just like Ash that's why they are 'best friends'.

Ash and dawn are made to be together

Both Dawn, and Serena are AWESOME

2 Misty (Kanto) Misty, known as Kasumi in Japan, is a character in the Pokémon franchise owned by Nintendo and created by Satoshi Tajiri. She’s the gym leader in Cerulean city & specializes in water Pokemon. In the games, she’s known as ‘the tomboy mermaid.’ ...read more.

Misty is always the best Pokemon trainer who travelled with Ash... And Ash always had a crush on Misty and also Misty had a crush on Ash. But the thing is Ash has a crush on Serena too... The only reason I hate Ash is because of this.

She's is the best girl I had ever seen she loves ash, care, fight, help others to solve the problem, very intelligent, a good mother and very friendly with pokemon she is the best pokegirl and female companion of ash

Misty is abviously the best she taught Ash a lot of things about Pokemon and they also have a crush on each other

Misty was the very first person to travel with Ash, she was even in the first episode

3 Iris (Unova) Iris is from the Pokemon bwhite version & Pokemon black 2 & white. She ether was the gym leader in Opelucid city in white version. She first appeared to aid Bianca, Burgh, and the playable character when Bianca's Munna was stolen, & acted as a bodyguard. In Black 2 & White 2, she was the champion. Iris ...read more.

Yeah what's so bad about her. Ash is a little kid and all the other female protagonists have not much good goals and Serena's goal is just to be with ash forever. Iris actually has an interesting goal. To be a dragon master and dragon types r my favorite type. So that's why I want to rip her pathetic rival to shreds. I mean at least people on here have a good reason to hate her but some people hate her just because she is black. That's racist because my dad is black. And she's a really cool character. At least she doesn't like ash because all the other female protagonists like ash so much.

Iris is from the Village of Dragons, She is right when she told Ash is a little kid, she looks funny when she saw Trip's vanillite, she can servive in the forest, she is the first person to travel with Ash in unova, (I think)...She is my favorite trainer! (n_n)

She's awesome- an adventurous badass tomboy whos a great battler. I don't get why people hate her

Better than lovesick little Serena. This girl is awesome!

4 Brock (Kanto) Brock is a character from Pokemon and is created by game freak & Nintendo. He was the first gym leader in pewter city, and specializes in rock Pokemon . ...read more.

Definitely the very best of Ash's friends, like no one, ever was. I also like Cilan too, but nobodies better than Brock.

Brock is love, Brock is life

Brock was his longest staying partner

Brock stayed with Ash pretty long.

5 May (Hoenn)

May and Dawn are the best!

Misty and Iris are annoying sometimes
and Serena is too weak to battle

May and Dawn are just the good combination of Misty and Serena

I liked the student/teacher relationship that Ash and May had for the series until she was able to start standing on her own and Ash looked on proudly. If May didn't have the crappy baggage known as Max by her side she might have been higher on the list.

She is the best travelling companion of ash after brock and her relationship with ash is also cute.

May is the best trainer ash befriended. She can best ash. Her unique technique making ability is same as ash. No other companion are good as her. She also have some special Pokemons like glaceon and blaziken and venusaur and wartortle. So she is the best of all trainers at befriended.

6 Serena (Kalos) Serena has proven to be a kind and polite girl but she can also be openly rebellious towards her mother, Grace. In Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!, she refused to wake up when Grace ordered her to, and gave a sassy response to her mother's call to watch the news. This tumultuous relationship ...read more.

I do not understand all the hate serena is getting. I like all the pokegirls and I am starting to hate misty because of the misty lovers who hate serena.

serena still deserves respect!

I respect that there are many pokeshippers here who might dislike serena but there is no reason to comment badly about her.

I am starting to think that misty lovers are jealous of serena so prove me wrong by stopping the mean commenting.

But my opinion is serena is a very good friend and ash cares for serena as a dear friend

To the other person being girly isn't a bad thing. That is a biased reason to dislike a cartoon character. There are more things to life than hating something that doesn't exist.

Agree.
@Naruhinablaze1 I respect you hate Misty that is okay But if you can comment that you dislike her so other people can say they dislike Serena

She got better overtime, but I still prefer brock. I honestly don't get the hate she gets on this site.

7 Clemont (Kalos) Clemont originates in Pokemon XY, created by Nintendo & game freak. is a gym leader of the lumoise city. He specialized in electric Pokemon and is known as a genius. ...read more.

He should be number 1 with Cilan at 2.

Clemont should be number 1

8 Bonnie Bonnie is created by game freak & Nintendo. She was in Pokemon X and Pokemon Y, as Clemont's (the electric type gym leader of Lumiose City) younger sister. She gave out quizzes to trainers who came to challenge the gym, who if they get it wrong would have to challenge a trainer. ...read more.

In the anime, he is classified as an A-class Pokemon Connoisseur and traveled with Ash Ketchum in the Unova region. He first debuted in Triple Leaders, Team Threats!.

Cilan is awesome. I love it when he becomes a detective. I also love how him and his brothers chili and cress have pansear, pansage, and panpour
