>>21194141She knew what she wanted to do before she even got her starter and lost her fair share of contest and if I remember lost the final Pokemon contest but saw that as something to just help her be a better coordinator. Dawn didn't really evolve many of her Pokemon, seeing as it would be hard to adjust in a contest with a newly evolved Pokemon if I remember.
May, from what I remember, didn't know what she wanted to do before or after getting her starter and followed Ash for the same reason as misty, Broken bike because of Pikachu. she couldn't decide if she wanted to collect badge or contest until I think she saw a Pokemon coordinator. She also evolved her Pokemon and was able to quickly use the new evolutions in contest without have much trouble with routine.
Misty just went along with ash because she wanted a new bike after ash destroyed her's after the massive Spearow attack. She didn't have much of her own thing, but honestly she get a freebie considering the Pokemon series had just started and not much was going on besides gym battles and she was already a gym leader.
Iris was Iris. She only really seemed to call ash a kid, never really evolved a Pokemon beside the Drillbur she had. she never even had much of her own thing to do besides just being the female companion.
Serena was just going along with ash because she has a crush on him since they first met when she went to the camp in Kanto. She hasn't caught any Pokemon and done much of anything
yet and makes Iris look good. She sort of like May too me, she went on her adventure to find out what she wants to do as a trainer.
Some of what i said is bound to be wrong,but i don't feel like checking it.My honest ranking
Dawn>May>Misty>Serena>Iris
