'''Hassel''' (Japanese: '''ハッサク''' ''Hassaku'') is a member of the [[Elite Four]] of the [[Paldea]] [[region]] and the art teacher at [[Naranja Academy]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Uva Academy]]{{sup/9|V}}. He [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Dragon}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.
 
==Appearance==
Hassel is a male human with fair skin, blonde hair,  faded gold eyes, and an average build. His attire features a white dress shirt with a red tie, a vest in satin black and red, a cadmium green coat where the rear sort of acts like a mini-cape, gray pants, and polished satin black dress shoes with red diamond shaped markings.
 
==In the core series games==
Hassel is a descendant of a long line of Dragon-type Trainers in an unnamed faraway region. He ran away from home as a youth to pursue a dream of "making music", before becoming a member of the Elite Four in the Paldea region as well as an art instructor at the academy. Hassel is shown to be friendly, but very emotional, as he bursts into tears of joy when defeated by the player. He is an old friend of Gym Leader [[Brassius]] of [[Artazon]].
 
During his bond story, a {{tc|Dragon Tamer}} arrives at the academy to get Hassel back home, claiming his father, the head of the family, is feeling ill, and Hassel should be taking his place as the head of the family. Through interactions with the {{player}}, Hassel gains the confidence to confront the Dragon Tamer, realizing her words about his father's deteriorating health were lies in another attempt to get him to come home and swearing to stay at the academy to teach.


==In the core series==
In [[The Indigo Disk]], Hassel can be invited to [[Blueberry Academy]] as a special coach. A conversation between him and [[Drayton]] reveals that Hassel knows his grandfather, [[Drayden]].
Hassel is a descendant of a long line of Dragon-type Trainers in a faraway region. He ran away from home as a youth to pursue a dream of "making music", before becoming a member of the Elite Four in the Paldea Region as well as an art instructor at the Academy. Hassel is shown to be friendly, but very emotional, as he bursts into tears of joy when defeated by the player. He is an old friend of Gym Leader [[Brassius]] of [[Artazon]]. At one point, one of Hassel's relatives tries to convince him to come home, but his students' support prompts him to remain at the Academy.

:''"Hello there, <player>. It delights  me  to  see  you here."''
:''"As for you, Larry... I see you made Rika do the shouting again, hm?"''
:''"I was, of course, absolutely certain you would make it to me eventually."''
:''"Young sprouts truly do grow with astounding speed, yes..."''
:''"But I never for a moment imagined we would be facing each other so soon!"''
:''"Now, a teacher’s duty is to guide students and aid their growth."''
:''"But I think I shall forget about my role as a teacher for a moment...and wield all my might for the sole purpose of defeating you!"''
:''"I am Hassel, the dragon guarding the final fortress of the Elite Test."''
:''"Prepare to learn firsthand how the fiery breath of ferocious battle feels!"''
*In battle
:''"Show me everything you’ve got. I shall face you with my full strength!"''
*Before sending out final Pokémon
:''"Only a little more until you pass! Don’t let up!"''
*Upon [[Terastal]]lizing his {{p|Baxcalibur}}
:''"Come, O great dragon, and take a Tera Jewel as your crown!"''
*Upon using Terastal move
:''"No point in letting this drag on... Behold, the power to overwhelm everything!"''
*After being defeated

;Art Class 1
[[File:Hassel anime.png|thumb|250px|Hassel in ''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]]]
:''"Greetings, I am Hassel. I will be teaching this art class. It is a pleasure to meet you all!"''
===''Pokémon Horizons: The Series''===
:''"Now, let me be candid for one moment."''
Hassel made his first appearance alongside [[Rika]] in [[HZ046]] when welcoming [[Liko]], [[Roy]], and [[Dot]] to [[Naranja Academy]]. Later, Hassel appeared with the other members of the [[Elite Four]] watching Liko's battle against [[Ann]].
:''"I imagine that many of you will forget all that you learned in this class once you graduate!"''
:''"After all, you don’t need even a basic understanding of artwork, much less a refined  appreciation of beauty, for most exams or jobs."''
:''"So, is my class a waste of time for you, then?"''
:''"I think not! At least, I certainly hope it isn’t!"''
:''"Think for a moment, all of you. What is beauty, anyway? What makes something beautiful?"''
::'''Regardless of answer:''' Interesting... Thank you, <player>."''
:''"Oh, I don’t mean to suggest there’s a correct answer to my query. The important thing is that  you all take time to think about it."''
:''"Think about why we might find beauty in a flower blooming on the side of the road, for example."''
:''"Question why the sky is a different shade of blue than the ocean or why the leaves change color.  Ponder the windmills of Artazon and how they move. Contemplate the chilling bite of the  waters of Cascarrafa."''
:''"I’m sure you will find that every little detail of your lives will seem more vivid, more impactful,  if you just take a moment to stop and think."''
:''"And I am certain that if you stop and truly appreciate the little beauties of this world... it will help pull you through the days where your studies have you exhausted or when work has  dampened your spirits."''
:''"Ah, do pardon me for waxing philosophical. You don’t need to understand all of that now."''
:''"To put it simply, it is true that one doesn’t need art to survive... But it certainly makes surviving  much more enjoyable!"''
:''"It is my hope that this class will add even a little bit of color to your lives."''
:''"That’s all for today—next time, we’ll try a more hands-on approach to appreciating beauty!"''


;Art Class 2
In [[HZ048]], Hassel and [[Nemona]] helped with some details of the annual [[Artazon Art Festival]], during the event, he discovered that Liko is [[Alex]]'s daughter. After taking Liko, Roy and Dot to meet with [[Brassius]], Hassel evaluated the works of art constructed by his students and then watched Roy's {{Tera}}stal battle against Brassius.
:''"Hello, class! It is I, Hassel, yet again."''
:''"In our previous class, we discussed what beauty is...which might have been a little boring for you."''
:''"So today, I thought I would mix things up a little to pique your interest in art."''
:''"Allow me to introduce our special guest!"''
:''"This is Professor Gible, the assistant lecturer for today."''
:''"Now then, Professor Gible. If you would be so kind as to Terastallize for us..."''
:''"As some of you may already know, a Pokémon can Terastallize if you use a Tera Orb."''
:''"Normally, Professor Gible would be of the Dragon type..."''
:''"But by Terastallizing, it’s succeeded in changing its type!"''
:''"So, class...what type do these lovely, glistening flowers above Professor Gible’s head represent?"''
::'''Grass Type:''' ''"Excellent, <player>! Full marks  for you!"''
::'''Fire Type:''' ''"Ah, not quite, <player>. Actually,  the  type  in  question  is  weak  to the  Fire type!"''
::'''Water Type:''' ''"Ah, not quite, <player>. Actually,  the type  in  question  is  strong  against  the  Water type!"''
:''"These beautiful flowers blooming above Professor Gible’s head show that it has now  become a Grass type."''
:''"The shape of the Tera Jewel above a Pokémon’s head depends on the Pokémon’s Tera Type."''
:''"To summarize! If an opponent’s Pokémon Terastallizes during battle… observe a Pokémon’s Tera Jewel closely to see which type it has become!"''
:''"And choose effective moves accordingly!"''
:''"It is my sincere hope that today’s lecture will help you all achieve beautiful victories."''
:''"The Terastal phenomenon is indeed a fascinating and deep subject to discuss."''
:''"That is it for today, class! Thank you, Professor Gible, for your help."''


;Art Class 3
In [[HZ055]], Hassel took part in a [[Multi Battle|Tag Battle]] against Roy and Brassius during the [[Elite Four Tag Battle]], eventually winning.
:''"Hello, class! It is I, Hassel, yet again."''
:''"I’ve been told that my previous lecture about the Terastal phenomenon was very well received.  Thank you all for your kind words!"''
:''"In fact, Ms. Dendra specifically requested that I impart even more battle knowledge to  my students..."''
:''"So, I have decided that today we will take another look at how a Pokémon can Terastallize!"''
:''"And of course, here is Professor Gible to help us."''
:''"Now then, Professor Gible. If you would be so kind as to Terastallize for us..."''
:''"Now, what do we have here? Last class we saw Grass-type Terastallizing, but this time we have  something of a different shape."''
:''"Observe, a Tera Jewel resembling a snowflake! Its dendritic shape is stunning to behold."''
:''"It’s a little chilly standing so close to it..."''
:''"So, class... What Tera Type do you imagine this jewel might represent?"''
::'''Water Type:''' ''"Very close, <player>! This is  water...  but  in  a  different state!"''
::'''Ice Type:''' ''"Excellent, <player>! Full marks  for you!"''
::'''Ghost Type:''' ''"Ah, not exactly, <player>. Though  I  suppose  that  is  chilling  in its  own  way, too!"''
:''"The reason there’s a snowflake shining above Professor Gible’s head is simple—it is now  an Ice type!"''
:''"And because Professor Gible is currently the Ice type..."''
:''"Ice-type moves would not be very effective against it. Keep in mind, usually they would  deal quadruple damage to Gible!"''
:''"Now, here’s some trivia about snowflakes: while snowflakes come in many different shapes  and sizes, most are classified as hexagons!"''
:''"Just think of it... Snowflakes fall from the sky, taking similar shapes without anyone saying  they must."''
:''"Do you not feel the great mystery of nature? The beautiful enigma we live in?!"''
:''"*cough*  Ah, this is a bit of a tangent, but Mr. Jacq’s glasses are also hexagonal, aren’t they."''
:''"I almost forgot to mention that you can change a Pokémon’s Tera Type at the Treasure Eatery located in Medali."''
:''"Though I must say the cook there is a little... prickly—you’ll need to get on her good side if  you want her help."''
:''"Now, come prepared for next class, because it is time for your midterm examination!  Thank you for today, Professor Gible."''


;Art Class Midterm
====Character====
:''"I do hope you’re all ready, because it is time for your midterm exam! Focus and do your best!"''
In the past, Hassel mentored Brassius during his times of insecurity with art. Hassel has a gentle personality, but also has a tendency to get overly emotional and cry with tears of joy upon admiring another person's character and progress. He is also very proud of his students as a teacher.
:''"Aaaaaand... Begin!"''
:''"Time’s up! That’s it for today’s test. Pencils down, please."''
:''"I would rather not have students worry about passing or failing in my art class, but tests are  tests, after all..."''
:''"Anyway, good work, everyone! You can check your results at the front desk."''

:''"I certainly got a very stern talking-to from Ms. Tyme after that class, yes..."''
:''"Anyway, let us shift gears and dive into the material for today’s class!"''
:''"Now, have any of you heard of the Ten Sights of Paldea?"''
:''"As the name would imply, they are ten sights in Paldea that are considered particularly beautiful."''

::'''Glaseado’s Grasp''' ''"Exactly! It looks like a hand taking hold of something, doesn’t it, <player>?"''
::'''Glaseado’s Reach''' ''"A very good guess! I’d think something reaching would stretch out farther, though."''
::'''Glaseado’s Run''' ''"A unique take! But that sort of name would usually apply to a slope, don’t you think?"''
:''"The three-pronged cliff on Glaseado Mountain is in fact known as Glaseado’s Grasp."''
:''"Though its shape is far too stubby to be that of a human hand. I imagine someone thought it  looked like a Pokémon hand grabbing something."''
:''"There’s also the mountains in Area Three of the East Province, where you can get a good look at  Levincia. It’s particularly gorgeous at night!"''
:''"In fact, the view is so brilliant, it is known as the Million Volt Skyline."''
:''"I hear it’s quite a hotspot for dates—and deservedly so for having such a romantic view!"''
:''"I imagine it’s...what do the kids say these days... a very, ahem, “fleek selfie spot”?"''

:''"Not to say that you shouldn’t visit them, only that you should keep your hopes in check."''
:''"The important thing is to go yourself and see them with your own two eyes."''
:''"And sometimes, a disappointing experience can be worthwhile in its own way. Take a chance!"''
:''"Well, that’s it for today, class. Thank you for your attention!"''

Hassel (Japanese: ハッサク Hassaku) is a member of the Elite Four of the Paldea region and the art teacher at Naranja AcademyS/Uva AcademyV. He specializes in Dragon-type Pokémon.

Appearance

Hassel is a male human with fair skin, blonde hair, faded gold eyes, and an average build. His attire features a white dress shirt with a red tie, a vest in satin black and red, a cadmium green coat where the rear sort of acts like a mini-cape, gray pants, and polished satin black dress shoes with red diamond shaped markings.

In the core series games

Hassel is a descendant of a long line of Dragon-type Trainers in an unnamed faraway region. He ran away from home as a youth to pursue a dream of "making music", before becoming a member of the Elite Four in the Paldea region as well as an art instructor at the academy. Hassel is shown to be friendly, but very emotional, as he bursts into tears of joy when defeated by the player. He is an old friend of Gym Leader Brassius of Artazon.

During his bond story, a Dragon Tamer arrives at the academy to get Hassel back home, claiming his father, the head of the family, is feeling ill, and Hassel should be taking his place as the head of the family. Through interactions with the player, Hassel gains the confidence to confront the Dragon Tamer, realizing her words about his father's deteriorating health were lies in another attempt to get him to come home and swearing to stay at the academy to teach.

In The Indigo Disk, Hassel can be invited to Blueberry Academy as a special coach. A conversation between him and Drayton reveals that Hassel knows his grandfather, Drayden.

Pokémon

Hassel will Terastallize his Baxcalibur at the first opportunity.
