'''Heath''' (Japanese: '''ハジメ''' ''Hajime'') is a [[character of the day]] who appeared in ''[[XY045|Splitting Heirs!]]''. He is the older brother of {{OBP|Blake|XY045}}.

When they were young, Heath and Blake used to go on adventures, and often got themselves scratched up. They used to get along very well, and eventually both got an {{p|Espurr}} from [[Blake and Heath's parents|their father]]. However, after their Espurr both evolved into {{p|Meowstic}}, they started to quarrel often. Like Blake, Heath left their home to go on a journey.

One year later, Heath appeared defending {{an|Bonnie}} from a group of {{p|Beedrill}} after she got lost from {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}. Afterwards, Ash and his friends, accompanied by Blake appeared. After Blake and his Meowstic drove the Beedrill off, the two brothers got into a heated argument. Heath proposed to the group that they head home to rest. At their home, Heath and Blake met up with their parents for the first time in a long while. They explained to their father they had both become stronger, and he replied that it was time to undergo the trial that had been passed down through the generations to choose the next heir of the family. The trial consisted of a treasure hunt on the family's properties. Heath received help from Bonnie and {{an|Serena}}.

Heath and Blake both brought several items, but none were the treasure their father was looking for. Their father gave them a couple of hints: the treasure was somewhere outside the mansion and was somehow connected to them. This made Heath remember that when he and Blake were younger, they found some rare flowers and brought them to their parents. He determined these flowers were the treasure. However, as he hurried to the location of the flowers, he found out Blake had also thought of this. At the site, they were confronted with an angry {{p|Exploud}}, so the brothers joined forces to defeat the threat. Later, the Exploud was revealed to belong to their father, who had used it to get Heath and Blake to remember how well they got along in their youth and that their closeness was the family's treasure. The brothers finally reconciled, and afterwards, they said their goodbyes to Ash and his friends, who continued on their journey.
