Bianca is a primary character in Pok&eacute;mon Heroes. She is the granddaughter of Lorenzo and the best friend of Latias, who has a tendency to shapeshift into her. Bianca has a hairstyle similar to Latias&#039;s but can usually identified by the white beret she wears. It appears she wishes to be a painter or possibly a Pok&eacute;mon Watcher similar to Tracey Sketchit. She is a nice girl but can be harsh and defensive at times    Bianca first appears in the museum, drawing some of the stain glass windows in the museum. Ash is distracted by her, since he previously saved Latias in the form of Bianca and believes she is the same girl he rescued. Wanting to know why she disappeared after he saved &quot;her&quot;, Ash and Pikachu pursue her across Alto Mare, finally catching up to her on the other side of the bridge, but Bianca is confused by his questions and quickly departs. Ash loses track of Bianca but instead follows Latias to the secret garden. As Latios attacks Ash, Bianca appears and believes Ash is the one attacking. Lorenzo soon appears and stops the fighting, Bianca believing that Ash was trying to harm Latios. She soon learns the truth and apologizes for her actions, becoming friends with Ash. She is later captured along with Lorenzo in the museum and held hostage, and tells Latios to use Sight Sharing to bring Ash and Latias to the museum. Bianca and Lorenzo are freed and help save Latios from being tortured. Bianca is deeply upset by Latios&#039;s sacrificial death and receives the new Soul Dew.     The conclusion of the film briefly sees her finishing a drawing. The drawing, which is of Ash and Pikachu, is given to Ash by either Bianca, who had left her hat on her easel, or Latias in the form of Bianca: which is the case is the subject of debate. When Ash received the sketch, the girl kissed him. It is unknown if this was Bianca or Latias. Bianca is seen again in the credits drawing another sketch by the harbor.

Bugsy (Tsukushi in original Japanese language versions) is in charge of the Hive Badge, and resides in Azalea Town. He is an expert on Bug-type Pok&eacute;mon. His name derives from the word bug.    In the anime  In the anime, Bugsy is a fairly nondescript gym leader whose gym is a large greenhouse dome with a forest-like interior. His motto is &quot;Whoever learns the rules of the Bug Pok&eacute;mon learns to rule the Bug Pok&eacute;mon&quot;, and his signature Pok&eacute;mon is Scyther, which he has specifically trained to counter fire Pok&eacute;mon. His other Pok&eacute;mon are a Spinarak that specializes in String Shot, and a particularly hard and hard-hitting Metapod. When Ash challenges Bugsy&#039;s Pok&eacute;mon Gym, Ash&#039;s relatively inexperienced Cyndaquil fails to defeat Spinarak. Ash&#039;s Chikorita succeeds, but in turn is defeated by Bugsy&#039;s Metapod. Pikachu finishes off Metapod, and in the end, Cyndaquil comes back to defeat Scyther, winning Ash the Hive Badge.    In the manga  In Pok&eacute;mon Adventures, Bugsy is an androgynous-looking archaeologist investigating the Ruins of Alph and the Symbol Pok&eacute;mon. His signature Pok&eacute;mon is a Heracross, supplemented with a Metapod. He later acquires a Kakuna and Scyther. He also has a special method of catching Pok&eacute;mon, one which was invented by him and Kurt, the Pok&eacute; Ball master. Bugsy has an external capture net attached to his Pok&eacute; Ball, so when he traps the Pok&eacute;mon inside the capture net it is automatically sucked into the Pok&eacute; Ball. If the Pok&eacute;mon manages to escape from the Pok&eacute; Ball, it will still be trapped inside the external capture net and thus will still be unable to break free completely. However, when Bugsy faces Suicune his efforts to fight the legendary Pok&eacute;mon head-on fail as his Heracross&#039;s strength falls to the much-stronger Suicune. Eventually Bugsy tries to use the capture net method to capture Suicune, but Suicune manages to break Bugsy&#039;s net for the first time, and escapes. Later, he is defeated by Sabrina in the Gym Leaders&#039; Challenge.

However Ash&#039;s Cyndaquil came through and beat Steelix with great difficulty earning Ash his Mineral Badge.  Unlike her other incarnations, the anime Jasmine is a far more confident girl, especially during her second appearance, where she makes an entrance via summoning her Steelix as she herself somersaults off the cliff she is standing on then landing on her Steelix. Later, during the Gym match, she appears to be anything but meek since she doesn&#039;t hestiate to tell Ash she will not make the battle easy for him.    In the manga  In Pok&eacute;mon Adventures, Jasmine is caught in an earthquake caused by Team Rocket while traveling through Ecruteak City, and when she climbs the Tin Tower to get away from the shaking she gets caught in some rubble.

Ritchie first appeared in A Friend In Deed and quickly befriended his fellow Pok&eacute;mon League competitor, Ash Ketchum. This led to problems in the next episode, Friend or Foe Alike, since the two were matched up to battle against each other.

__PERSONALITY:__  Seta Soujiro is Shishio Makoto's right-hand man, a teenage assassin trained by Shishio himself. Soujiro is known for his lack of kenki or, simply, emotion. He possesses no anger and cites no fear in his enemies, other than with his sword. Soujiro is often seen smiling and has polite manners, always referring to others with Japanese suffixes. He is sarcastic, hiding his true emotions behind his smiling face. He however does have a special relationship with Yumi, she being a sister figure towards him. Soujiro usually dresses up in a blue kimono with white handguards.
__BACKGROUND:__~!Soujiro's constantly smiling face and polite manners stem from his tragic past. Born in Kanagawa Prefecture during the first year of Bunkyū (1861), Soujiro is an illegitimate child. Sōujiro's father left him in the care of his family, who badly mistreated him. He is assigned chores such as carrying rice to and from the family warehouse, and whenever he faltered, he was beaten by his family. Soujiro built a defense against their lashings; he put on a smiling face and endured the torture until they got tired of beating him and left him alone.  One night, he meets Shishio, who was on the run from the police. Soujiro witnesses Shishio kill some police officers and Shishio is about to kill him for it until he notices Soujiro smiling and therefore spares him in exchange for food and bandages. Shishio tells Soujiro that only the strong may live and that his predicament is his own fault for being weak. This new mentality, and a sword given to him by Shishio, determine his defense when his family finds him housing Shishio. Sojiro quickly finds himself cornered by them, attempting to murder him and blame his death on Shishio, and lashes out, killing every one of them at the age of eight.!~  
__TECHNIQUES:__ ~! Soujiro''s apparent lack of emotion, his simple, insensitive mentality that the strong will live and the weak shall die, and his skills make him a formidable foe for Kenshin. As a master swordsman of his own style, Soujirou's abilities have earned him the nickname of "Heaven's Sword" (天剣, Tenken?, Ten meaning Heaven and Ken meaning Sword, "Tenken" means swordsmanship of natural endowments). His shukuchi utilizes such powerful speed that, to an observer, it appears that the distance between the two fighters has shrunk (hence the name shukuchi, which means "reduced earth").  During his fight with Kenshin, Soujiro continually states he's only moving "three steps below shukuchi" or "two steps below shukuchi." While moving at the speed his shukuchi utilizes, the only thing that can be seen is Soujiro's footsteps ripping through the tatami mats. During "one step below shukuchi", he is able to attack from an omnidirectional angle, utilizing not only horizontal but vertical space.[5] While performing true shukuchi, he completely disappears and cannot be seen, even by Kenshin. Soujirou can dodge the Kuzu-ryūsen (九頭龍閃?, lit. "Nine-headed Dragon Flash"),[6] a move which apparently cannot be evaded even by Kenshin himself. Soujirou is also the first one ever to slash Kenshin in the back in the series.  Soujiro is also well versed in the Battōjutsu style like Kenshin, as is evident when he decides to use a stance similar to Kenshin's and when he destroys Kenshin's first sakabatō. Combining the true speed of shukuchi with the Battōjutsu, he has created his only named technique, Shuntensatsu (瞬天殺?, lit. "Instant Heaven Kill"), meaning "immediate killing by heaven's sword". It is named this because the speed behind the attack is so swift that the opponent dies instantly before falling to the floor.!~

Aggressive and decisive, Anna is a pragmatic person who appears cold and harsh. However, she has shown that she genuinely cares for those important to her. She is extremely dedicated to being "The Ultimate Shaman Queen" and the wife to Yoh, the first friend that she ever had. She firmly believes that Yoh is destined to become the Shaman King, and believes her duty (as an Itako - a spirit medium) is training him extensively for it.

She is almost always seen wearing a red bandana; the bandana is usually worn on her head, but she starts wearing the bandana around her neck like a scarf and sports a pair of black sunglasses after departing for the Patch Village.

~!Anna's spiritual strength is shown as she was able to seal in Hao Asakura's guardian spirits (called as shikigami) - Zenki and Kouki, and was able to control them. Anna and Hao seem to have an odd relationship of their own - Anna detests Hao and even slapped him once. Surprisingly, he was not angry, but actually seemed amused. It has also been hinted that Anna is the reincarnation of the original Asakura Hao's mother from 1000 years ago, Asano-Ha; others think that Hao possibly had feelings of his own for Anna and wanted her for himself, it had not been proven false because what he said to her in the manga he said he was serious about taking her as his bride.!~

~!In the end of the main series Anna is wife of Yoh and they have one child who is the protagonist of Shaman King's sequel.!~
