Ash’s mom is very ssupportive of him and his dreams, and she didn’t really ever try to hold him back. She does tend to embarrass him sometimes, but I don’t think she means to. She is always worrying about him, though, and tends to get upset every time he saves the world (like in movie 2 and movie 3) She has a pet Mr. Mime which she calls Mimey and does the housework with her. In Pokemon the Movie 3: Spell of the Unknown the little girl Molly has Entei kidnap her and brainwash her into thinking she’s her mother, but then she sees Ash on TV and remembers who she is. I think that Prof. Oak might like her!
