Name: Misty

City: Cerulean City

Badge: Cascade Badge

Favorite Type: Water

Appearence:

Description: Misty is the second gym leader, residing in Cerulean City. She specializes in Water-type Pokémon. She also appears in several seasons of the Pokémon anime, the Pokémon manga series (Electric Tale of Pikachu) and the Ash & Pikachu manga. Her English name derives from the word mist, matching the meaning of her Japanese name, which means mist or haze.

In the Pokémon video games, Misty uses Staryu and Starmie; when defeated, she gives the player a Cascade Badge. Players who chose Charmander as their starter will have a difficult time winning against Misty. The best option to defeat Misty is to use Bulbasaur or, if evolved, Ivysaur. Squirtle will be average in attacking Misty but will have a reasonable defense.

In the anime, Misty meets Ash at the start of his Pokémon journey, and travels with him. When they arrive at Cerulean City, Misty starts to grow nervous and takes off, leaving Ash and Brock puzzled. As Brock leaves to attend to unknown business, Ash enters the Gym, and is met by the three Sensational Sisters, who seem more than willing to just give Ash his Cascade Badge. Misty reappears, and to Ash's disbelief, reintroduces herself as the fourth Sensational Sister, and challenges Ash properly. In the end, Ash prevails and wins the Cascade Badge, and Misty decides that she will continue to travel with Ash.


Misty eventually leaves the group at the end of Master Quest, but appears in several episodes of Pokémon Chronicles. In the anime Misty's Pokémon are Togepi (later Togetic), Horsea, Goldeen, Staryu, Starmie, Corsola, Politoad and Gyarados.
