'''Harrison''' (Japanese: '''ハヅキ''' ''Hazuki'') is a recurring character who appeared in the [[Pokémon anime]]. He is a [[Pokémon Trainer]] from [[Littleroot Town]] and a [[rival]] of {{Ash}}.

==History==
Harrison debuted in ''[[EP265|Pop Goes The Sneasel]]'', where he met {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} at the summit of the [[Ho-Oh Shrine]]. He overheard the shrine guard ask Ash if he would help ward off what was preventing them from getting Ho-Oh's sacred flame. Immediately Harrison offered to help too. Later hearing that it was a {{p|Sneasel}} that was attacking those who approached the Sacred Flame, he had started to make plans on catching it. Once at the top of the stairs, Harrison instructed Ash to try to get the flame while he and {{an|Misty}} distracted {{p|Machop}} and {{p|Machoke}}. However he underestimated Sneasel's strength and he was forced to come up with another plan.

Using {{p|Houndoom}} and {{AP|Phanpy}}, Harrison and Ash took on Machop and Machoke together; their goal being to take them both out before they would get to Sneasel. Both of their Pokémon were able to hurl Machop and Machoke down the stairs leaving Sneasel by itself. After {{TRT}}'s brief interruption, Harrison used his {{TP|Harrison|Blaziken}} to take down Sneasel and he was able to {{pkmn2|caught|capture}} it. At the end of the day, Harrison told Ash that he would meet up with him again at the [[Silver Conference]].

After many cameos during the qualifying rounds of the Silver Conference and wishing Ash luck in his battle with {{Gary}} in ''[[EP269|The Ties That Bind]]'', Harrison appeared in ''[[EP270|Can't Beat the Heat!]]'', where he and Ash began their [[Full Battle]]. It continued in ''[[EP271|Playing with Fire!]]'' and ''[[EP272|Johto Photo Finish]]''. In the latter episode, Harrison defeated Ash, but went on to lose to [[Jon Dickson]].

It was Harrison who convinced Ash to go to the Hoenn [[region]]. He told Ash about [[Professor Birch]] and {{cat|Generation III Pokémon|all the Pokémon}} that Ash had probably never seen before. Harrison appears to have a strong personal connection with Professor Birch, whom he speaks of fondly,   noting his words of wisdom was the main motivation for his travels to Johto onwards.
 
Following the Silver Conference, Harrison went to [[Kanto]] to collect the region's [[Gym]] [[Badge]]s and compete in its {{pkmn|League Conference}}.

==Character==
Harrison fulfills a supportive and mentoring role throughout his appearances, similar to Brock. He has also been shown to be quite independent, with no mention of any previous companions. In addition, he is quick-witted and confident, as seen in ''[[EP268|Tie One On]]'', where he sends out his Miltank to stop Ash and Jackson from fighting. This quality is also seen in his battle style, as seen with his Blaziken's speed and prowess against Ash's Charizard when it recovers from a Seismic Toss by aiming a Flamethrower at the ground.

Despite his team of strong and eclectic Pokémon, he does not brag about his skills and capacity as a Trainer. Instead, he prefers to encourage others to do their best. His battle strategy is built on speed and reflex, such as Kecleon's camouflage and Sneasel.

Harrison has a streak of determination, as seen with his battle, and later victory, against Ash, as well as his eagerness to capture Sneasel. Harrison remains humble throughout his appearances, and is unfazed by his loss in the semifinals. He demands a lot from his Pokémon, although he gives them time to rest and recover, such as when he left his Blaziken out of the battle against [[Jon Dickson]]. Though this move ultimately contributed to him losing, he wasn't too upset about this. His compassion towards his Pokémon may be linked to his personal connection to Professor Birch, as explained in ''[[EP272|Johto Photo Finish]]'', where Birch told him that in order to know Pokémon, one needed to see them through their own eyes, and hold them in their own hands.

Ash next sent out {{AP|Snorlax}}, which was asleep. Harrison took advantage of the situation and had Hypno use {{m|Dream Eater}} on the Sleeping Pokémon.

Hypno's known moves are {{m|Hypnosis}}, {{m|Psychic}}, and {{m|Dream Eater}}.}}
