Quotes
Nacrene Gym
- Upon entering the museum
- "Wow! Whenever I look at this skeleton, I'm...fascinated. Welcome! I'm Hawes, the assistant director. Since you were kind enough to visit, I'll give you a tour of the museum. This skeleton is of a Dragon-type Pokémon. There's a theory that it had an accident while it was flying around the world, and so it became a Fossil. This rock is amazing! It's a meteorite! It contains some kind of energy from space. Oh, this? It's an ordinary old stone. It was found near the desert, but other than the fact that it's old, it doesn't seem to have any value... We only display it because it's rather pretty to look at. The Pokémon Gym is just beyond here. At the end of the Gym, a very strong and kind Gym Leader is waiting. By the way, the Gym Leader Lenora happens to be my wife!"
- After defeating Lenora
- "Deeear! Dear! Come quickly! Team Plasma is threatening to steal some bones!"
- In the museum during Team Plasma's theft
- "Oh! Oh! We have to go after them!"
- "Lenora loves that skull..."
National Gymquirer
- Jingle: "Woo hoo! All right! It's 'The National Gymquirer'!"
- Page: "That's right! We collect the hottest gossip about Gym Leaders seen around town! Here is today's letter. From someone going by the name Bonadventure! Thank yooou! 'I saw it... Lenora, in the middle of the night...talking to bones in the museum! I also heard a man's guttural laugh... It was scary!' I see. Very horrific. But, I'll bet it was just her husband, Hawes. He has a weird laugh... 'The National Gymquirer'! We eagerly await your letters!"
In the anime
Hawes made his anime debut in BW014. He is the vice-curator of the Nacrene Museum.
He first appeared when he was being chased by a Dome Fossil under the powers of a Yamask. He told Ash, Iris and Cilan about it and they went to see it, to only find it was in its normal place. He told them that when him and some workers were putting some ancient ruins together as an exhibit, strange things started happening and a mysterious purple flame appeared.
He then shows the group round the museum and decides to sleep with them inside the museum to see if they see any strange occurrences. They eventually find out it was because of Yamask that had been taken with the exhibit without it knowing. Then when sleeping it accidentally dropped its mask. Hawes found it and put it behind a glass and Yamask tried to get it back. In the end they released Yamask into the world.
He appeared again in the next episode, where he refereed Ash's Gym battle against Lenora. He also refereed Ash's rematch against Lenora in BW016.
In the manga
Pokémon Adventures
He appears in the manga, greeting Black as he enters the Nacrene Museum and takes him to the Gym's puzzle.
Trivia
- In the Japanese version, he calls Lenora "Mama," in the way married adults will call themselves "mama" or "papa" instead of by their names, as well as a reference to her Japanese title. This is changed to "Dear" in the English version.
