Also considering the fact that there is no way Ash's mother could able to travel to different places, raise and educate her son, pay for the house and the restaurant with earnings from the said restaurant Giovanni must be secretly giving her money for her expenses
Ash met Giovanni in the anime. He didn't have any kind of reaction to seeing Ash. He attacked him and Pikachu with his Persian in fact. I don't think he is Ash's dad
Ash has already interfered with team rocket's plan in Unova and Jhoto and if the members found out that the kid who is responsible for their plans to get thwarted is their boss's son it can seriously affect Giovanni's reputation as a crime boss
I always found Delia Ketchum to be an interesting character and to be honest I would love to see a prequel in the style of a miniseries of what Delia's career as a Pokémon trainer would have been like when she was Ash's age or maybe a little older.
I can make it worse, I agree with the Geovanii theory but she did manage to find someone and marry her. At first ash’s “dad” was ok with it but knowing he’s raising another man’s kid he eventually couldn’t take the pressure and bailed.
I do believe ash father is Giovanni. Also u forgot to add sliver last name is also Ketchum. If we go by the real world. Giovanni full name is Sakaki Giovanni. That Giovanni last name. What if Giovanni wasn't is real last name and his real last name is Ketchum. If that the case the real reason he go by Giovanni is to protect his child and his ex wife because he think that the police or other group will target them because their relationship. But what if Delia change her last name into Ketchum because she loves him.
Giovanni is obviously ash's father, the team rocket trio thing is most likely wrong but evidance of it is probable with the fact that Giovanni wasn't at the gym when ash challenged it and most likely heard from jesse and james that a boy by the name ketchum was heading his way, so he left to ensure they didnt encounter
If you ask me I'd say Delia was pregnant with Ash when she dated Giovanni and that's why he broke up with her because he didn't wanna keep the baby. And when she married Ash's dad he got upset when he found out that the baby wasn't his and that's why he left her.
Delia is the Beta version of Leaf/Green that never became a playable character in the original games. She watched Red and Blue Oak become Pokémon Trainers. And she eventually married Red and gave birth to Ash.
Fire Emblem Descendants retconned Dehlia and her son Ash's origins Dehlia was a bounty hunter called Doomsbane hunting criminals and slaughtering other people and other pokemon as a serious crime that even Officer jenny and her police form are scared of her and her gang, until one day she noticed an egg and when team rocket leader Giovanni and his henchman, Matori, Jessie, James and Meowth are going to capture it, she thought about abandoning it, but she changed her mind to save the egg to escape with it. She disbanded her gang, until suddenly the egg hatched later revealing to be Ash as a baby. And Also Ash is actually an adopted son and a manakete
If delia Was 19... What if she and Giovanni must had some good times and then Giovanni abandoned her to lead team rocket. So Giovanni wouldn`t know he had a son
