Ghetsis

Ghetsis is the true leader of Team Plasma from Pokémon Black and White. Team Plasma is the fifth of many evil teams in the Pokémon series who aim to generally be evil. In Team Plasma's case, it is a piracy organization under the guise of an animal rights group, with the goal of "liberating" Pokémon from their trainers.
Ghetsis also makes appearances in Pokémon Masters, PokéAni, Pokéspe and Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, always as a villainous character. He is a fan favorite, though not too many fanworks exist which primarily focus on him. The Pokémon he is most associated with are Hydreigon and Cofagrigus.

===Denn~is! Denn~is! Denn~is! Denn~is!===
In Ghetsis's boss theme, there's a chorus saying his name in Japanese, G-Cis. Due to the limitations of the Nintendo DS, this chorus was not very clear to players. Many English-speaking fans misheard it as "Dennis," though not out of believing that name was actually said. In the fandom, fans often joke that Ghetsis's name is actually Dennis and may call him that on occasion.
