His goal is to capture all 150-plus nonhuman creatures called Pokémons, train them to be good, and use them to capture the remaining wicked Pokémons that so far have escaped. In the games, Ash is not your ally: he is you. Each of the Pokémons has its own sort of power which, after conversion, accrues to Ash’s (your) favor.",
