Colonel Hansen

Colonel Hansen (Japanese: ハンゾウ Hanzō) is a crooked Mirage Kingdom official with one evil plan in mind: to take over the Mirage Kingdom. His English voice actor is Marc Thompson and his Japanese voice actor is 石井康嗣 Kōji Ishii.

In The Princess and the Togepi and A Togepi Mirage, he enlists the help from Team Rocket agents Jessie, James and Meowth to kidnap Togepi from Misty. After he was crowned and after sending the King and Queen to the dungeon, it didn't take long for Hansen to relieve Team Rocket from their duties and send them blasting off. Hansen is an impure-hearted man, and due to this, his ruling of the Mirage Kingdom would destroy the Togepi Paradise. At that point, he thought he had won, until his plans were interfered with by Ash, Misty, May, Max, Brock, Miranda and Sara, the Mirage Kingdom Princess, and of course Togepi, who had evolved into Togetic. Jessie, James and Meowth, after being betrayed by Hansen, decided to get Hansen back and covertly helped Ash and his friends on their mission to dethrone Hansen. Even with the help from his Pokémon, Hansen ended up losing to the heroes, being dethroned, and put into the dungeon.

Pokémon

This is the listing of Colonel Hansen's known Pokémon:

Shedinja

Ninjask
	These two Ninjask were other of Hansen's battling Pokémon. Being very fast and notably strong they were able to stand on their own until they got defeated by May's Torchic and Ash's Pikachu. Ninjask's known moves are Hyper Beam, Shadow Ball, Double Team and Dig.

Temporary

Togepi
	Main article: Misty's Togepi Hansen possessed Misty's Togepi only for a short peroid of time after he used his Ninjask to knock it out while Misty, Ash, his friends, Miranda and Sara were trapped in Togepi Paradise. He used it to gain the throne of Mirage Kingdom and attempted to use its Metronome to open the gate to Togepi Paradise, but was interrupted by Ash and the others. Several Paradise Togepi then arrived and gave Misty's Togepi power to wake up and evolve into Togetic.
