Ash's Hatena

Ash's Hatena is a pokemon Ash caught.

## **Personality:**

Hatena is a happy get-going pokemon who likes to climb on Ash's head. She is quick to come up with a solution by herself and is even reckless to risk her own life for her trainer. Hatena is able to use her with the protrusion on her head in order to sense emotions and anything else and even served it to guide Ash and the gang. However,it turns out she is sensitive to others' emotions.

## **History:**

Ash encountered Hatena in Glimwood Tangle with Aoyama and Deku while searching for Shoto. Ash immediately caught her and she soon got out of her pokeball,which Ash eventually used his pokedex on the pokemon. This particular Hatena gets easily attached to Ash and climbs on top of his head. The gang realizes that this Hatena must have been separated from her mother and they agree on taking her back to her. This has led Deku to believe that Haterenne kidnapped Shoto for a reason.

### **With Ash:**

Hatena agreed on helping Ash and the others to find Haterenne and Shoto,by using the protrusion on her head in order to guide them through the forest,while staying on Ash's head. Along the way,they encountered a wild Hattrem who attacked them. Later on,they finally find both Haterenne and Shoto and decided on a plan. Hatena and Raichu decided to work together. During battle,Ash tried to protect the little pokemon in his arms,but the latter decided to protect Ash instead,which resulted in her being injured. Noticing this,Shoto snapped out and helps the poor pokemon to treat her injuries. Haterenne finally calms down and thank them for their help. Ash tried to leave Hatena with her mother,but she decided to follow Ash instead.

Hatena was used to sense Beartic's emotion to figure out what was wrong with it. She later fell down with Ash,Raichu and Beartic after the latter lost control of its power due to disappointment. Hatena was then sent to Professor Oak's lab. When Ash arrived at the Galar Mine,Ash noticed that Hatena actually followed him. He felt something wasn't right and brought Hatena with him in the Brave Asagi so Mollie could check her out. Mollie deduced she was just feeling down after being left behind at Professor Oak's lab,so Ash volunteered to look after Hatena,but she ran away after sensing Dot's strong emotion. Ash and Dot sought Hatena all over the airship,with Ash eventually finding her on the observation deck. He told Hatena that he also likes to come there as well because it was quiet and peaceful,which led them to bond again. Ash then happily offered Hatena to join his team again,so she won't feel lonely again.

Ash encountered a Galarian Moltres at the Galar Mine. Sensing the Legendary Pokemon's rage,Hatena shed a single tear. In the next episode,Ash used Hatena's earlier reaction to Moltres to determine the Malevolent Pokemon was actually sad and come up with a strategy to calm it down. Later,after Moltres returned to its ancient Pokeball,Hatena jumped out of Ash's backpack and located the mysterious Pokemon that emerged from Ash's pendant. Ash met with Tepen in order to get information about the ancient Pokeball,but he tricked them then stole it. However,Hatena realized too late Tepen's intentions,as she sensed his dark emotions and failed to warn Ash about it. Fortunately,Ash found out then attempted to get the ancient Pokeball back from Tepen. After Ash and Sprigatito had Tepen's Lampent and Bronzor concerned,Hatena used Confusion to get the bag that the ancient Pokeball was in away from the Lamp Pokemon while Sprigatito made in an attempt to get it,but failed when Tepen showed up and had his Lampent grab it back.
