'''Nihei''' (Japanese: '''ニヘイ''' ''Nihei'') is a recurring character in the [[Pokémon anime]]. He is the younger brother of [[Ippei]] and the older brother of [[Sanpei]] and hails from [[Ninja Village]]. Nihei is the second strongest of the village, only behind Ippei. 

==History==
[[File:Sanpei Froakie.png|left|thumb|250px|Nihei and his brothers]]
Nihei was first mentioned by Sanpei in ''[[XY017|A Rush of Ninja Wisdom!]]'', and was seen only in a fantasy. 

Nihei made his first physical appearance in ''[[XY099|The Legend of the Ninja Hero!]]'', where he was making preparations for the festival. He then welcomed Sanpei, when he returned to the village, accompanied by {{Ash}} and his {{ashfr}}. He then had [[Pokémon battle]] with Sanpei and managed to win rather easily.

Later, he and Ippei met Sanpei, Ash and his friends in the temple dedicated to the village's heroes, where Ippei told them about the legend of the Pokémon that had protected the village once, when a battle between ninjas took place, and showed them the leader of the heroes, a {{p|Greninja}}.

When the village got attacked by a ninja army, Nihei and Ippei sent Sanpei, went to face them. After discovering that {{kal|Hanzo}}, the village's chief, had been captured, Nihei joined the others to hear [[Saizo]] tell about [[Kagetomo]]. After discovering Hanzo's location, [[Otori Mountain]], everyone decide to head there and save him. 

Upon arriving at Otori Mountain, the group got attacked by [[Heidayu]] and the ninja army. Nihei used his {{p|Venusaur}} to battle the ninja army, alongside {{an|Serena}}, {{an|Clemont}} and [[Shinobu]]. They eventually managed beat them, while Ippei defeated Kagetomo and saved Hanzo.

The day after the village's festival, Nihei said goodbye to Ash and his friends. After their departure he informed Ippei and Hanzo about the mysterious power of [[Ash's Greninja]] he had witnessed.

Venusaur first appeared in ''[[XY017|A Rush of Ninja Wisdom!]]'', albeit only in a fantasy. He made his first physical appearance in ''[[XY099|The Legend of the Ninja Hero!]]'', where he was used in a battle against [[Sanpei]]'s {{p|Greninja}}. Using his vines to block incoming attacks and his ninja techniques, Venusaur was able to best Greninja and ultimately defeat it with a super-effective {{m|Solar Beam}}. Later, he was sent out again to face the ninja army's {{p|Skarmory}}. In [[XY100|the next episode]], Venusaur was used to battle the ninja army's Pokémon and defeated a {{p|Gengar}} with Solar Beam.
