Deaths

  1. In the episode "The Tower of Terror", he jumped toward Haunter and Gengar when they sank disappointed into the ground (as he wanted to capture them), and as they sank into the ground before Ash could reach them, he smashed into the ground, and a chandelier fell on top of him and Pikachu, crushing and electrocuting them both. Their spirits were pulled out by Haunter as ghosts, and were later returned to their bodies. (Unexplained if Ash and Pikachu died or merely knocked out when their ghost-selfs were pulled out and returned.)
  2. In the first movie, "Mewtwo Strikes Back", jumped between Mewtwo and Mew as they shot energy waves at each other that could have destroyed everything and everyone present. The attacks collided on him and turned him to stone; however, the tears of all the Pokemon (original and cloned) brought him back to life.
  3. In the movie "Lucario and the Mystery of Mew", along with nearly every other human character in the Tree of Beginning, was eaten by a blob designed to fight off humans. He was later revived by Mew along with the rest.
  4. In the movie "Pokémon: I Choose You", Ash is hit by multiple attacks from Pokémon controlled by Marshadow, which kills him and sends his body and soul to a kind-of afterlife, but is later resurrected by Ho-Oh after Pikachu jumps through a portal to save him.
  5. In the movie "Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea", Ash proceeds to die via drowning in an attempt to restore the Sea Crown as the underwater castle they were in was filling with water. Ash comes back with a power bestowed upon him via the Sea Crown.
  6. In the Victini movie, Ash freezes to death. No mortal can survive being frozen in space. Ash died, but was later resurrected by Victini and his massive heat.

Trivia

  • From 1997 to 2023, Ash Ketchum has appeared in 24 films and 1,234 episodes across 25 seasons.
