History

Pre-series

Not much is known about Misty's early childhood other than that she grew up inCerulean City in theKanto region with herthree sisters. When she was very young, an encounter with aGyarados at theCerulean Gym led to her being frightened of them. InNo Big Woop!, it was revealed that Misty used to play the tambourine as a toddler. Misty often received hand-me-down toys and clothes from her older sisters, who seemed to have been favored in their family, as seen during flashbacks inPrincess vs. Princess. Eventually, Misty became one of theGym Leaders of the Cerulean Gym alongside her sisters. Bullying and exclusion by her sisters led Misty to leave home and effectively leave her sisters as the Gym Leaders beforePokémon, I Choose You!, choosing to prove herself as aWater-typePokémon Master.

Pokémon the Series: The Beginning

Misty debuted inPokémon, I Choose You!,fishing in a nearby river onRoute 1. As her fishing rod snagged something, she managed to pull out not aWater-type Pokémon, butAsh and his injuredPikachu, who were being chased by a flock ofSpearow. After pointing Ash in the direction of the nearestPokémon Center, the one inViridian City, he borrowed herbicycle, saying that he would return it someday.

InPokémon Emergency!, Misty appeared in the Pokémon Center after Ash dropped off his Pikachu, holding her charred bike and demanding a new one right away. She continued following Ash as he headed forPewter City, telling him inShowdown in Pewter City that she would continue following him until she was paid back for the bike.

Consequently, Misty traveled around theKantoregion, theOrange Islands, and theJohto region with Ash. Earlier in the series, she mentioned getting her bicycle replaced several times. By the end of theIndigo League, however, Misty seemed to have forgotten about the bicycle, indicating that her real reason for following along with Ash was that she simply wanted to remain with her friends. While traveling with Ash, Misty often acted as his coach inPokémon battles.

Ash and Misty were later joined byBrock, fromShowdown in Pewter City toPoké Ball Peril and again from the end ofThe Rivalry Revival to the end of the original series, andTracey fromThe Lost Lapras toThe Rivalry Revival. When she and Brock were both traveling with Ash, Misty would pull Brock away by his ear when he approached a beautiful woman. This began inThe Bridge Bike Gang andLights, Camera, Quack-tion, and became far more frequent while they were in Johto.

InThe Water Flowers of Cerulean City, Misty challenged Ash to aGym battle after her sisters at the Cerulean Gym nearly gave Ash aCascade Badge without a battle and to prove she was as good a Pokémon Trainer as her sisters. Ash and Misty each defeated one Pokémon, butTeam Rocket interrupted the match when they tried to steal the Gym's Water Pokémon. Misty's sisters awarded Ash a Badge when Pikachu saved the Gym with itsThunderbolt, over Misty's objections.

InTentacool & Tentacruel, while waiting for the next ferry to the mainland, Misty saw a large group ofTentacool and agiantTentacruel attackingPorta Vista after human activity destroyed their homes. She convinced the Tentacool and Tentacruel to stop attacking the port, and the humans would no longer occupy Tentacool and Tentacruel's homes in the reef and caught aHorsea as well.

Misty became the first main character to look after ababy Pokémon inWho Gets to Keep Togepi?, when the egg that Ash had found inAttack of the Prehistoric Pokémon hatches into aTogepi. It imprinted on Misty as its mother when she became the first thing it saw, even after Ash won a tournament to decide who got to keep it. Misty would carry Togepi around without a Poké Ball for the rest of the series.

InMisty Meets Her Match, Misty was given a chance to stay in theOrange Islands whenRudy, the Gym Leader onTrovita Island, offered to let her stay with him. Misty considered the offer, but she ultimately chose to keep traveling with Ash and supported him in his battle against Rudy.

Pokémon the Series: Gold and Silver

InHook, Line, and Stinker, Misty competed in the annualSeaking Catching Competition. After Misty andAndreas both caughtSeaking that weighed 55 kg., they battled each other to break the tie. Misty won the competition after herPoliwhirl defeated Andreas'Poliwrath.

Misty participated in theWhirl Cup alongside Ash fromOctillery the Outcast toThe Perfect Match!. She defeated Ash in the second round and made it to the best eight of the competition before she narrowly lost toTrinity.

InJust Add Water, Misty met a Water-type Trainer namedDorian, after discovering that he is a fan of her sisters, Misty challenged him to a battle. After defeating Team Rocket and ending her battle with Dorian in a draw, Dorian was impressed with Misty's battle skills.

InGotta Catch Ya Later!, Misty returned to the Viridian City Pokémon Center and learned that her bicycle was repaired by the city'sNurse Joy. Misty was shown to be sad that she no longer had the convenient excuse to travel with Ash — especially when she saw that Ash hadn't learned that and had assumed she followed him because of her bike. In addition, her sistersDaisy,Lily, andViolet, called Misty at this time to tell her they were going on a world tour, and needed her to return to Cerulean and watch the Gym in their absence. However, Misty saw how Ash truly cared for her when he saved her from a trio ofPokémon gangsters. Misty wanted to stay with Ash, but felt it was her responsibility to take over the Gym, which would be shut down if it was left unattended.

Upon the return of her sisters, Misty remained the sole CeruleanGym Leader. Since their return, only Daisy appears to spend a significant amount of time at the Gym. While working in the Gym, Misty sometimes receives help from Tracey when he is either visiting or running an errand forProfessor Oak.

Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire

Misty was first mentioned by Ash inTree's a Crowd.

She reappeared fromThe Princess and the Togepi toA Togepi Mirage!, where she met up with Ash and Brock again inHoenn, along with meetingMay andMax for the first time. InA Togepi Mirage, herTogepievolved into aTogetic and helped defend theTogepi Paradise. Towards the end of the episode, Togetic decided to stay with the other Togepi to protect them, sharing one last tearful moment with Misty.

She watched Ash compete in theEver Grande Conference inSaved by the Beldum andShocks and Bonds. She traveled with Ash fromThe Scheme Team toA Real Cleffa-Hanger, and was later invited to theMirage Mansion byDr. Yung inThe Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon. She later appeared in flashbacks inGathering the Gang of Four.

It was revealed inCerulean Blues that Misty fearedGyarados, having climbed into one's mouth as a baby, and that she doubted her own ability to run Cerulean Gym alone. It wasn't until she selflessly protected herGyarados from aPoison Sting assault that she was not only able to conquer her fears but regain the confidence to run the Gym with a now-obedient Gyarados.

Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl

Misty never physically appeared inPokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl, but she was referenced a couple of times.Her special lure appeared inBuizel Your Way out of This!, and she appeared in a picture onBrock's memory wall in the special episodeDPS02.

Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon

Misty made recurring appearances duringPokémon the Series: Sun & Moon, starting withAlola, Kanto!. Misty and Brock reunited with Ash when he andhis classmates arrived at the Kanto airport, then compared Kantonian andAlolan Pokémon with the class atProfessor Oak's lab. Later, Misty and the rest of the group worked together to defeatTeam Rocket, who Misty was angry to find were still stealing Pokémon. Afterward, the group had a party and learned fromProfessor Kukui that the class had plans to head toCerulean City for a Gym battle.

InWhen Regions Collide!, the group arrived at Cerulean City, where Misty and Brock assisted Professor Kukui's lecture on the mechanics of Gym battles and thePokémon League. Misty nearly defeatedLana andMallow in a two-on-one battle, but stopped the match before the final blow could be delivered. She then battled against Ash and hisPikachu with herMegaGyarados and lost. She and Brock bade Ash and his classmates farewell and accepted Ash's offer to visit Alola sometime in the future.

During the time that passed after the visit to Alola, Misty and Lana became close friends, exchanging messages with each other.

InAlola, Alola!, Misty and Brock visited Ash and his classmates inAlola after Lana invited them. She also explained that her sisters took charge, and implied that the Cerulean Gym was facing enough challengers that she simply needed a break. Whilst Brock remained at the Pokémon Center, Misty accompanied Ash and the others toTreasure Island, where they enjoyedMantine Surfing and playing with the Pokémon before the villainous obstacle Team Rocket trio attempted to steal theMantine. However, with the help of Gyarados and severalZ-Moves, she and the others managed to blast Team Rocket off, foiling their every plan.

InHeart of Fire! Heart of Stone!, Misty accompanied Ash, his classmates, and Brock toAkala Island where they visitedPaniola Ranch and later metisland kahunaOlivia. At the end of the episode, Brock and Misty left Alola to return to Kanto, although not before expressing interest in visiting Alola again.

InA Fated Face-Off!, Misty reunited with Ash, stopping him from trying to catch aClauncher that she had been trying to catch. After trying to catch Clauncher through fishing, Misty and Ash had a battle to decide who would catch Clauncher. Misty used her Politoed to battle againstCorphish and after a tough battle, Politoed emerged victorious, allowing Misty to add Clauncher to her team. Afterward, Misty decided to rejoin Ash on his journey. She also explained that she decided to go on a new journey, and left the gym under the care of her sisters.

InMust Be Our Heroes and the Witch!, Misty and Ash traveled toGalar. After reuniting withBrock, they were helped byCilan to save Brock from the mind control of a wildHatterene. After everything was resolved, Brock joined the group and they said goodbye to Cilan who went back to travel alone.

InRide, Lapras, Ride!, Misty joined Ash to rescue aWailmer that was trapped in a mountain. During the rescue, the Pokémon evolved into aWailord, which made everything more difficult. With Ash's Pokémon, Misty, and Brock, and their respective Trainers working together, they were able to rescue the huge Pokémon.

InGetting to the Heart of it All!, Misty joined Ash to giveBanette a new heart-shaped hair tie. Ash decided that Misty should give her heart-shaped hair tie to Banette, and she agreed. After a long search for Banette, Ash gave Misty's heart-shaped hair tie toBanette. However, Ash and his friends decided that he and his friends should look for its owner. They scattered around with no hope, leading them to become tired and decide to continue the search the next day. But when Brock realized that Banette's owner was Nurse Joy, they organized a reunion that finally happened.

InRocket Revengers!, Misty attempted to aidJames's Mime Jr., who seemingly defected from its Trainer, in locatingOfficer Jenny to refer their latest plot. She held offJames's Yamask andJessie's Frillish with her Staryu and Psyduck to allow Ash, Pikachu, and Mime Jr. to continue onward. Soon afterward, however, she and the others deduced something was off and then discovered Mime Jr.'s defection was faked as part of a trap against Pikachu. She eventually witnessedLatias' appearance, recognizing it from what Ash relayed to her and Brock about his earlier encounter with her. She also witnessed her psychic vision of her friendLatios escaping confinement.

InThe Rainbow and the Pokémon Master!, Misty separated from Ash and Brock to return to Cerulean City.

Other appearances

Misty made a cameo appearance in the ending credits ofI Choose You!.

Misty reappeared inMewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution, where she had largely the same role as inMewtwo Strikes Back.

Character

Misty is a girl who can be sweet and optimistic at times, but she is best known for her vocal frustrations and seething anger. Misty also tended to get very angry wheneverAsh got their party lost, especially in forests. She is very extreme in most of her moods, and she abruptly switches between her emotions. However, as time went on, Misty mellowed and her hyperactive personality was reduced significantly by the end of theoriginal series. In the Japanese version, she uses the pronoun Atashi in reference to herself.

She is also picky, sensitive, nosy, and grumpy about love. There are many episodes where she is seen getting along with the younger siblings of the family, namelyMikey,Sakura, andMax. This stems from the fact that she understands what it's like to be the youngest because she has three older sisters.

She is shown to have a somewhat vain side to her, often referring to herself as an "internationally known beauty" (世界の美少女the world's most beautiful girl) in introductions to others. It is implied that this trait was a result of her inferiority complex towards her older sisters. However, this trait was mostly excluded from thedub untilPokémon the Series: Sun & Moon.

Her goals are not as clear as those of the other main characters (with the possible exception of Ash), but her main interest istrainingWater-typePokémon with the dream of becoming a WaterPokémon Master. Misty aggressively defends the Water-type against critics as seen inThe School of Hard Knocks and when she first metFire enthusiastMacy. She considers all members of the Water-type to be "cute", though her positive opinion onTentacool inTentacool and Tentacruel divided Ash andBrock.Fishing is one of her hobbies, and she even has aspecial lure, which she designed to look like herself. InThe Unbeatable Lightness of Seeing!, she sent one to Ash as a gift. Sometime before she left for Kanto at the end ofHeart of Fire! Heart of Stone!, Misty gave Lana another one as thanks for inviting her and Brock to visit Alola.

Misty's battle style was first showcased inThe Water Flowers of Cerulean City, where she challenged Ash. She had herStaryu dive into the water to wash offButterfree'sstatus-inducingmoves. Misty has developed a more rounded battle strategy since becoming the full-time Cerulean Gym Leader, mirroring many of Ash's methods. DuringPokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire, Misty was shown to become increasingly confident and focused on her role as the CeruleanGym Leader.Cerulean Blues saw her overcome her fear and help calm a ragingGyarados which now serves as one of her main Pokémon, while Misty learned about the Gym Badge-making process and began to appreciate her role inThe Blue Badge of Courage. She continues to improve her Pokémon as seen withPsyduck's mastery ofWater Gun and herCorsola's strong defenses make for a tireless battle.

The one Pokémontype that Misty cannot stand areBug-types, as shown inAsh Catches a Pokémon! and more recently inA Squad’s Worth of Passion!. The only Bug-type Pokémon Misty is not afraid of are the kinds that she deems "cute" or "pretty", likeLedyba andButterfree, some belonging to her friends, likeTracey's Venonat, or ones that don't look like bugs, such asPineco. However, Bug Pokémon are only one of three things Misty strongly dislikes, the other two beingcarrots andpeppers. When asked how she feels about dual-typed Bug/Water Pokémon, such asDewpider, Misty replied "that's a tough one".

Her catchphrase when sending out a Pokémon is (いくわよ！マーイステディ！Go! My Steady!). Like her "beauty" title, this was not carried over into the dub untilSun & Moon.

Early into the series, she was shown to have a more pragmatic view on battling, which is best demonstrated in the third episode where she agreed to Ash fighting against Team Rocket despite the specific battle technically being illegal because it ultimately had the best chances of Ash not losing quickly, and also her disappointment that Ash proceeded to forfeit against Brock instead of taking the lucky advantage against him during his rematch.

Pokémon

Either through the tradition of her family's Gym or merely her love of them, Misty prefers to trainWater-type Pokémon. She usually bases her choice of Pokémon to train by looks, preferring Pokémon that she thinks of as "cute" over ones that she thinks are "ugly," but is willing to overcome such differences.

Her love of Water Pokémon stems from the fact that they are extremely flexible in battle, meaning that they can easily adapt to the opponent, as she stated inSome Like It Hot. Since becoming a Gym Leader, she has overcome her fear ofGyarados and continues to learn more about caring and battling with Water Pokémon as challengers come to theCerulean Gym.

As an experienced Water-type Pokémon Trainer, Misty has access to many powerful Pokémon and mechanics such asMega Evolution. This allows her to be able to battle other powerful Trainers likeDorian,Trinity, or Ash in equal conditions.
