Ash S. Ketchum (Japanese: サトシ Satoshi) is the main protagonist of the fanfic Truth and Ideals. He is an "Aura Guardian", a person who heavily utilizes Aura, and is also the present day "Hero of Ideals" due to having ownership of Zekrom as of Chapter 50: The Hero of Ideals in the story. Ash as the main character in Truth and Ideals is primarily the result of a "What If" scenario involving a rewritten story based around the Black and White anime saga, which Truth and Ideals itself originates from the disappointment created by said anime saga. Thus, though unintentional at first, this makes Truth and Ideals into a "Fix Fic" for the Black and White anime saga as a whole.
