Today's blog post will be about Gary Oak from the show Pokemon. Gary is a Pokemon trainer, and he is also Ash's rival. He is the grandson of Professor Oak as well, and he, like Ash, originally came from Pallet Town. Gary is a talented trainer, but he can also be quite smug about it. He is often seen with a fan group following him around, too. In the beginning of the Anime, Gary was always one step ahead of Ash. He would get to towns before Ash, catch more Pokemon than Ash, and he even received his starter Pokemon before Ash had even gotten there, too. Unlike Ash, Gary would capture a lot of Pokemon and just use his stronger ones, where as Ash would spend more time forming bonds with his Pokemon.
