Misty in the anime

Although Misty is the leader of the Cerulean Gym in the games, she leaves the Gym to travel with Ash Ketchum in the animated series, leaving the care of the Gym to her three older sisters, Daisy, Violet, and Lily. She wears a yellow tanktop and short shorts with suspenders. Somewhat of a paradox, she likes many typical "girlish" things but is somewhat of a tomboy (and thus has a small complex about herself, especially due to the fact that her three sisters do not think much of her). Although usually very kind and sensible, she has a wicked temper and is known for being impatient and stubborn. She reins in Brock when he gets overamorous with cute girls. She is also terrified of Bug Pokémon. Ash Ketchum is a fictional character in the Pokémon line of game products. ...

This racing bicycle is built using lightweight, shaped aluminum tubing and carbon fiber stays and forks. ...

Although it has been used for potential humor, especially in the Shūkan Pokémon Hōsōkyoku, Misty has never shown romantic feelings for Ash, whom she travels with, although she does show jealousy when one-time female characters fall for Ash. She admires the Ice Pokémon Trainer Prima (whether or not Prima is actually Lorelei from the video games is a matter of debate).

Johto and beyond

When Ash updates his Pokédex to the Johto Regional one, an egg that they have been toting around for a while hatches and Togepi is born, which, although Ash had "won" the Pokémon, Misty ends up keeping, as Togepi had already chosen her.

However, she is often a central character in the Shūkan Pokémon Hōsōkyoku, and Pokémon Chronicles.

Misty's Pokémon

Although in certain episodes Misty has the use of the Pokémon of the Cerulean Gym (or, on one occasion, the use of some of Ash's or Brock's Pokémon), Misty carries several Pokémon of her own. These include:

• Goldeen
• Staryu - Staryu is one of the first Pokémon that Misty has in her possession, and is one of only two Pokémon that Misty carries with her for the entire series. Staryu is often a supporting Pokémon to other important water Pokémon such as Ash's Squirtle, or as one of the Pokémon that helps Brock across water when the main characters need to swim long distances.
• Starmie
• Horsea - Horsea was an ailing Pokémon caught at the seaside town of Porta Vista. However, when it was revealed that Horsea's condition grew worse and worse the longer it stayed in its Pokéball (and hence, out of the water), Misty leaves it behind in the Cerulean Gym, in the care of her sisters.
• Psyduck - Psyduck is a Pokémon that managed to capture itself when Misty accidentally dropped one of her empty Pokéballs on the ground. Psyduck is absentminded and often has a headache, which annoys Misty. Despite being a water Pokémon, Psyduck can't swim. When battling with Psyduck, Misty often goads opponents into attacking it, in the hopes of getting it a serious enough headache to trigger its hidden psychic abilities.
• Togepi - When a mysterious egg that Ash had after defeating an Aerodactyl hatched, Togepi was born. However, who got to keep Togepi was left to a mini-tournament among the protagonists and Team Rocket. Although Ash eventually won, Togepi had chosen Misty. For a while, Togepi was treated as Misty's little baby by the fellow trainers and Pokémon. Although Togepi knows some attacks, Misty is largely unaware of its abilities.
• Poliwag - Poliwag is the only Pokémon that Misty catches in the Orange Islands, and is the only Pokémon from the Orange Islands that remains on a major character's team. Poliwag had originally helped Misty find an herb which could be made into medicine for curing an ailing Ash and Tracey (and later, Team Rocket), who had succumbed to Vileplume's stun spores.
• Corsola - Corsola was the only Pokémon caught by Misty in the Johto region. Its main ability is Recover, which allows it to restore damage done to it during battle.
• Poliwhirl - During her match against Ash to see who would have Totodile, Poliwag, who was called out to face against Ash's Bulbasaur, evolved into Poliwhirl. Though Poliwhirl lost to Bulbasaur's Solar Beam attack, and seeing how Totodile loved to dance, Misty felt that it would be better if Ash took Totodile since she now had a brand new Poliwhirl for herself.
• Politoed - After Ash had won a King's Rock, Poliwhirl unwittingly grabbed it, and was recalled into its Pokéball soon after. The next time it was summoned, it evolved. Initially, Misty was disappointed as it had not evolved into Poliwrath, but has since learned to live with it. Politoed has a tendency to clap its hands together, initially as a running gag, but later on as a cheerleader Pokémon.
• Togetic - When Misty is mysteriously sent to Hoenn from an invitation, she meets Ash once again, and they unexpectedly find themselves in the Mirage Kingdom, where an official wishes to steal Togepi, considered to be sacred in the Mirage Kingdom, and use it to claim the kingdom's throne. It is there that, to protect the fellow Togepi as well as to save Misty and company from the official, Togepi evolves. Togetic subsequently leaves Misty in order to protect the fellow Togepi that live in the Mirage Kingdom.
• Gyarados - Despite Gyrados being one of Misty's least favorite Pokémon, she tames one that is running loose in her Gym and uses it in Hoenn.
• Seaking
• Seel
• Dewgong
• Luvdisc
