Hawes (Japanese: キダチ Kidachi) is Lenora's husband and is the assistant director of the Nacrene City Museum.

In the games

He leads the player around the museum upon the player's first visit, and warns of Team Plasma's commotion before they make off with the skull of a dragon's skeleton.

Hawes appears to revere his wife, calling her both strong and gentle as a Gym Leader and a person.

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.

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.
