[[Michele Knotz]] (English) ([[Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]])}}'''Misty's''' first appearance was in the very first episode of the anime series, ''Pokémon - I Choose You!''. In this episode, she first meets Ash after fishing him out of the water when he was trying to get away from Spearow. [[Ash]] then takes Misty's bike from her in order to escape the [[Spearow]], which is then wrecked by [[Pikachu|Pikachu's]] [[ThunderShock]]. Misty then tracks down [[Ash]] and follows him around on his adventures until he can pay her back. She eventually forgets about the bike and becomes one of [[Ash]]'s closest friends and is Cerulean City gym leader.
 
  +
'''Misty''' is a friend of [[Ash Ketchum|Ash]] who debuted in the first episode of ''[[Pokémon the Series]]''.
  +
  +
In the first episode, she meets Ash after fishing him out of a lake while he was trying to get away from a flock of [[Spearow]]. Ash then takes Misty's bike from her in order to escape the Spearow which is then inadvertently wrecked by [[Ash's Pikachu|Pikachu]]'s [[Thunder Shock]]. Misty then tracks down Ash and follows him around on his adventures until he can pay her back, although she eventually forgets about the bike and becomes one of Ash's closest friends in the process. However, at the end of their journey through the [[Johto]] Region, Misty's bike has been completely repaired, and she leaves to return home to [[Cerulean City]] to resume her duties as a [[Gym Leader]] due to her sisters leaving for a cruise for three weeks. She has since spent much of her time at the gym even after her sisters returned from their cruise, partly because she didn't trust their capabilities of running the gym, though she nevertheless found time to visit the [[Mirage Kingdom]] in Hoenn as well as briefly reaccompany Ash at the start of his Battle Frontier quest, as well as visit Alola. Eventually, after watching Ash win the Pokemon Monarch title in Pokemon World Coronation Series Masters Eight Tournament, she became inspired to resume her own journey, even leaving the gym in the care of her sisters.
  +
  +
She is currently traveling the world, leaving the Cerulean City Gym Leader position to her older sisters.
  +
  +
==Appearance==
  +
Misty has short, red hair tied into a side ponytail with blue elastic rubber band. She has green eyes and fair skin. She wears a yellow tank top that reveals her midriff, red suspenders, denim shorts that stop at her thighs and red high top sneakers with yellow lining and white laces. Her belly button is not usually drawn, but it is visible when she wears two-piece swimsuits. Her most common swimsuit is a red bikini, which she wore six times.
  +
  +
She later maintains her original outfit in her return in [[SM042: Alola, Kanto!|''Alola, Kanto'']] in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]''. In this series, her belly button is shown the entire time. Beneath her outfit is her blue strapless bikini which was worn by her counterpart in both games, Pokémon Red and Blue. In ''[[SM043: When Regions Collide!|When Regions Collide!]]'', Misty has a [[Key Stone]] hidden at the back of her ponytail.
  +
  +
Misty made cameo in ''Pokémon Ultimate Journeys: The Series'' wearing her blue strapless bikini which she was seen relaxing at the pool in the Cerulean City Gym along with both her Psyduck and her Gyarados while watching the final battle between Ash and Leon at the World Coronation series. She also maintains her main outfit at the end of the ''Ultimate Journeys: The Series'' upon meeting with Goh at the Cerulean City Gym.
  +
  +
In the episode ''[[SS016: Luvdisc Is a Many Splendored Thing!]]'' in ''[[Pokémon Chronicles]]'', her primary top is replaced with a yellow sleeveless hoodie shirt and she also wears a slightly longer and looser blue shorts, a small white belt with a pink buckle and reddish-brown penny loafer shoes worn with white socks. Her swimsuit in ''[[Pokémon Chronicles]]'' is also changed to a green bikini.
  +
  +
In her mermaid form, she gets longer hair.
  +
  +
Her new outfit in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'' consists of a yellow tank top with a dark blue button, a dark blue collar, yellow shorts and orange shoes. She wore this outfit when she met up with Ash and Brock in ''[[RS044: The Princess and the Togepi|The Princess and the Togepi]]'' and ''[[RS045: A Togepi Mirage!|A Togepi Mirage!]]'' and again for three episodes when Ash returned to Kanto from Hoenn. She also wore this outfit in ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]'' along with a red drawstring bag.
  +
  +
During her and Brock's visit in Alola in ''[[SM102: Alola, Alola!|Alola, Alola]]'' and ''[[SM103: Heart of Fire! Heart of Stone!|Heart of Fire! Heart of Stone!]]'', she wears a light yellow crop top with a salmon pink trim, an orange diagonal stripes on her midriff and a matching bows in each sides of the straps, a matching shorts with a salmon-pink ribbon-like belt and the linings in each sides along with an orange diagonal stripes and pink sandals.
  +
Her hairclip is now a rose pink and yellow flower hairpin which she conceals her Key Stone hidden at the back of her ponytail. Like her original outfit, Misty's entire midriff and belly button are uncovered.
  +
  +
==Personality==
  +
As Misty is the youngest child in her family, she can sympathize with other youngest children like [[Mikey]], [[Sakura]], and [[Max]].
  +
  +
Misty has a slight inferiority complex, mostly due to her three older sisters [[Daisy]] (oldest), [[Violet]] (second-from-oldest) and [[Lily]] (third-from-oldest), who formed the group, "The Three Sensational Sisters" (their synchronized swimming group), and refer to Misty as the "runt" or the "weaker one". This complex diminishes over time as Misty grows closer to them. Until Misty resumed her duties as the Cerulean City Gym Leader, her sisters were the ones who directly ran the gym, although when Ash came along to get his [[Gym Badges#Cascade Badge|Cascade Badge]], it was Misty who battled him for it, explicitly referring to herself as being one of the Gym Leaders during this instance.
  +
  +
Misty specializes mainly in {{type|Water}}-type Pokémon, which are her favorite type, but she's had other types, and she also deeply admires [[Lorelei (anime)|Lorelei]], an {{type|Ice}}-type Pokémon Trainer. Misty aims to become a world-class trainer, and her well-trained Pokémon reflects her aspirations of becoming so. Her least favorite type of Pokémon is {{type|Bug}}-type Pokémon, as she has a deep-rooted fear of them, except for the kinds she sees as "cute" or "pretty" (i.e. Butterfree and Ledyba). However, Misty's fear lessens over the course of the series — but not to the point where she's totally gotten over it, as shown in ''[[RS135: A Real Cleffa Hanger|A Real Cleffa Hanger]]'', ''[[SM042: Alola, Kanto!|Alola, Kanto!]]'' and ''[[SM102: Alola, Alola!|Alola, Alola!]]''.
  +
  +
As the series continues, Misty gradually shows herself to be more mature, kind and sensible. For some reasons, Misty would restrain [[Brock (anime)|Brock]] from girls, often pulling him away by the ear and reprimanding him for his behavior. This trait continued with the friends who join Ash on his journeys after she parted ways with him, following their journey through the Johto Region.
  +
  +
==Etymology==
  +
The name Misty originates from the word "mist".
  +
  +
Her Japanese name, Kasumi, is literally 霞 (kasumi, mist). However, it may also include 海 (umi, ocean), 水 (mizu, water) and 泉 (izumi, fountain).
  +
  +
==Skills==
  +
[[File:GS035 2.jpg|thumb|left|One of Misty's lures.]]
  +
Misty is a great fisher, good at making fishing lure versions of herself for her fishing and an amazing battler, due to being a Gym Leader.

==Relationships==
  +
===Family===
  +
====Daisy, Violet, and Lily====
  +
[[File:Misty with Daisy, Violet and Lily.png|thumb|Misty and her sisters, Daisy, Violet and Lily.]]
  +
Misty doesn't usually get along with her sisters but still loves them very much. Also, she does get annoyed with them a lot. She would help them whenever they needed it even if they don't, which shows how much she cares for them. Also, overtime, Misty has come to trust her sisters to look after the gym whenever she was absent.
  +
  +
===Friends===
  +
====Ash====
  +
[[File:Misty and Ash.png|thumb|left|Misty and Ash.]]
  +
Misty didn't get off to a great start with Ash when they first met. Also, Misty followed Ash until the day he paid her back for her bike, after he borrowed it to save his Pikachu and accidentally destroyed it (though it was implied this may have been an excuse for companionship). However, Misty not only forgot about it, but also forgave Ash, as she understood that he had noble intentions and it getting destroyed was unintentional. Through their time together, Misty and Ash became best friends. Misty mentored Ash in becoming a Pokémon Trainer. Although she gets annoyed with him sometimes, Misty knows in her heart that Ash will always be there for her whenever she needed it and she would always be there for him for the same reason. Despite their friendship, Misty and Ash do fight a lot, as some of their fights led them to almost losing their friendship, but they make up in the end, and over time, their arguments grew less frequent.
  +
  +
[[File:Misty with Ash and Pikachu.png|thumb|Misty with Ash and Pikachu in Alola.]]
  +
Also, Misty teases Ash from time to time and they have a friendly rivalry with each other as they try to show each other up, which ends up in one or the other being too overconfident or a little bit sadistic for their own good. When Misty was forced to return to Cerulean City to take over the Gym while her sisters went on an around-the-world cruise and got her bike repaired by Nurse Joy of Viridian City, she felt hurt towards Ash because he thought the repayment of her bike was the reason she traveled with him. However, Misty realized that Ash does care about her and their friendship when he and Brock saved her from the Invincible Pokémon Brothers.
  +
  +
Misty even sent one of her fishing lures to Ash as a gift, which shows that their friendship has remained strong. Also, Misty and Ash have seen each other again a few times as they're happy to see one another again, shown when she meets up with him in Hoenn, and his hometown when he briefly returned to Kanto and in Alola. After watching Ash in the Master Eight finals, Misty decided to travel again and left the gym under her sisters care. While traveling, Misty reunited with Ash at a beach and was surprised that [[Cilan (anime)|a friend of his]] does his own lures like she does. However, Misty was upset that Ash doesn't use the lure she gave him, but doesn't realized that he had use it but doesn't want to damage it as she was unaware of how he truly appreciated the lure and worries about losing it. Despite this, Misty truly missed traveling with Ash and wanted to be with him again, even though she won't admit as she made an excuse as to why she wanted to be with him. However, little does Misty know, Ash also wanted to travel with her again and didn't buy her reason, as he pretended that he didn't want her around but Pikachu convinced him to accept her request.
  +
  +
====Brock====
  +
[[File:Misty and Brock.png|thumb|left|Misty and Brock.]]
  +
Brock is Misty's other best friend as they greatly respect each other for their knowledge and skills as Pokémon Trainers.

  +
  +
[[File:Misty and Brock in Alola.png|thumb|Misty and Brock in Alola.]]
  +
Misty does get annoyed at Brock for other things as well. Also, Misty and Brock don't usually fight; however, they have small fallouts at times, but they easily get over it. After they went their separate ways, Misty's friendship with Brock remain no matter where they are or what they do, which shows when they reunited with each other a few times. However, they both got a chance to travel together with Ash once again as Misty and Brock were pleased to be with each other.
  +
  +

  +
[[File:Misty and Tracey.png|thumb|left|Misty and Tracey.]]

In "[[SM043: When Regions Collide!]]", Misty shows to them the inside of the newly rebuilt Cerulean City Gym and thanked her Psyduck for guarding the Gym. She also uses this as an opportunity to battle against Mallow's Steenee and Lana's Popplio in a handicap but, when Psyduck gets a severe headache and to unleash Confusion on both Pokémon, Misty has to calm it. Misty later battles against Ash using her Gyarados against his Pikachu. She also reveals the Key Stone hidden at the back of the hairclip of her ponytail as she Mega Evolves her Gyarados. Despite her strategy, her Mega Gyarados was defeated by Pikachu who uses the Z-Move the Gigavolt Havoc.

Misty has only appeared as a guest star in the remainder of the Pokémon series. In one of her cameo appearances in the ''Advanced Generation'' series, her [[Togepi]] [[Evolution|evolves]] into [[Togetic]]. Misty releases Togetic after it chooses to stay behind to defend the Mirage Kingdom. After Ash finishes competing in the [[Hoenn]] League, he returns home to [[Pallet Town]] to find Misty waiting for him. However, she isn't the only one to rejoin [[Ash]], as [[May]], [[Max]], and [[Brock]] join him as well for the [[Battle Frontier]] challenges. She travels with Ash for two episodes, and shortly after returns to her Gym.

After giving Lana, Mallow, and Lillie some replicas of Cascade Badges, she and Brock were told by Ash to visit him in Alola. Before Ash and the others depart, Misty became interested in Ash's Z-Ring.
In Pokemon Jirachi Wish Maker Ash mentions that he misses her every day and that they will always be friends forever.
 
   
  +
She and Brock later visit Ash and the group in Pokémon School at Alola. Ash and his classmates give her a tour and she meets [[Nina]] and [[Anela]]. She surfs with them in a school of Mantine and plays around with a wild Alolan Exeggutor. She later helps them fend off Team Rocket by releasing her Gyarados to rescue a school of Mantine with their attacks. She angrily Mega Evolves her Gyarados, allowing Ash and the others to destroy the robot with their attacks and Z-Moves as she commands her Mega Gyarados to unleash Hydro Pump as a final blow, blasting Team Rocket off to the sky. Back at Melemele Island, she and Ash visit Brock while cooking some stew for dinner as Misty's Psyduck pops out on its own to eat their stew, much to Misty's annoyance. She noticed Ash was falling asleep while watching the night of the full moon and soon after the trio spend the night at their tent while being watched happily by both Professor Burnet and Professor Kukui.
Misty did not appear at all during ''Pokémon: Diamond and Pearl'';'' ''although'' ''Ash mentioned'' ''her to [[Dawn]] when he once used her fishing lure to catch Buizel.

Misty has a slight inferiority complex, mostly due to her three sisters [[Daisy]], [[Lily]], and [[Violet]] who formed the group "The Three Sensational Sisters" (their synchronized swimming group) and refer to Misty as the "runt". This complex diminishes over time as Misty grows closer to [[Daisy]]. The Sensational Sisters are the ones who usually run the Cerulean Gym, although Misty battled Ash when he challenged the [[Gym]] for his [[Cascade Badge]].

Misty's least favorite Pokémon are {{type|Bug}}-types; she freaks out, whenever she encounters a {{type|Bug}}-type, this was first introduced when she refused to befriend Ash's Caterpie. Misty makes a statement that,{{type|Bug}}s are one of the three things she strongly dislikes, the other two being carrots and peppers. The only {{type|Bug}}-type Pokémon that Misty is not scared are ones that she thinks are cute or pretty like, [[Butterfree]] and [[Ledyba]], or some that don't look like bugs, like [[Pineco]].

When a [[Pokémon]] [[egg]] that [[Ash]] had been carrying in his backpack hatches, the new-born [[Pokémon]] [[Togepi]] chooses Misty as its "Mama". This causes Misty to take on a motherly role to [[Togepi]], being virtually inseparable from it until its evolution. After it evolved, she released it into the Mirage Kingdom to protect other [[Togepi]].

==Trivia==
 
==Trivia==
  +
*In the Pokémon anime, director/writer Takeshi Shudo's novelizations of the Pokémon anime series, Misty is confirmed in chapter 3 of novel 2 ("Four sisters of Hanada City") to be around the same age as Ash was when he started his journey, and as of that chapter. This would place Misty's age in the novels as being around 10 to 11 initially. In "[[TB003: Ash Catches a Pokémon|Ash Catches a Pokémon]]" in a line that was rewritten in the dub to remove the mention of age, Misty after waking up to see [[Butterfree (anime)|Ash's Caterpie]] sleeping next to her exclaims that such was "the worst thing that's happened to [Misty] in the ten years of [Misty's] life", which implies that she's also 10 in the anime, at least initially, which is supported by supplemental materials for the show in the Japanese version listing her as 10.
*Despite Misty being a {{Type|Water}}-type trainer, she has had some exceptions in the anime which are, [[Togepi]] which is a normal type, [[Togetic]] which evolved from [[Togepi]] is a {{Type|Normal}}/{{Type|Flying}} Dual type, and [[Azurill]] which is a {{Type|Normal}} type, but later evolves into a {{Type|Water}} type [[Pokémon]] ([[Marill]]) and can learn {{Type|Water}} type moves.
 
  +
*Despite Misty being a {{Type|Water}}-type trainer, she has had some exceptions in the anime — Togepi which is a {{Type|Fairy}}-type, Togetic which evolved from Togepi is a {{Type|Fairy}} turned {{Type|Fairy}}/{{Type|Flying}} type and [[Misty's Azurill|Azurill]] which is a {{Type|Normal}} type. That being said, however, the latter Pokémon does evolve into [[Marill|a Water type]]. She has also attempted to catch an Oddish once despite it actually being a {{Type|Grass}}/{{Type|Poison}}-type due to it drinking from a pool of water.
*Misty is the first victim of the recurring gag in the anime where [[Ash's Pikachu]] destroys every main female character's bike. This gag was also transferred to May and Dawn. However the gag did not affect [[Iris (anime)|Iris]] because she did not have a bike.
 
  +
*Despite being out of contact with Brock since Johto, when they visit Ash in the ''Sun and Moon'' series, Misty retains her old habit of punishing him for fawning over cute girls by dragging him away.
*In the anime, Misty possess a fear of most {{Type|Bug}}-type (although certain bug Pokémon like [[Ash's Butterfree]] don't seem to bother her). Both she and [[May]] have fear of {{type|Bug}}-type Pokémon, although May had overcome this fear after her [[Wurmple]] fully evolved into a [[Beautifly]]. It is unknown how she might react to encountering a [[Surskit]] due to it currently being the only known {{Type|Bug}}/{{Type|Water}} Dual type (however given her specializing in {{Type|Water}} Pokémon it is likely she might not be afraid of them as she would other {{Type|Bug}}-type Pokémon.
 
  +
*Misty is the first victim of the recurring gag in the anime where Ash's Pikachu destroys every main female character's bike. This gag was also transferred to May and [[Dawn (anime)|Dawn]]. However, this gag did not affect [[Iris (anime)|Iris]], [[Bonnie (anime)|Bonnie]] or [[Serena (anime)|Serena]], because they did not have bikes.
*She also has a fear on [[Gyarados]], despite it is part {{type|Water}}-type. She overcome this fear and she had a Gyarados on her own that knows [[Flamethrower]].
 
  +
**Iris and Bonnie were shocked directly by Pikachu while Serena wasn't shocked at all.
*The person who originated the gag of pulling Brock away from pretty women was Misty herself. She pulled Brock on the ear every time he flirted with a pretty woman. This gag transferred to Max in [[Hoenn]] and then [[Brock's Croagunk]] in Sinnoh (though Croagunk used Poison Jab instead of pulling Brock's ear).
 
  +
*In the anime, although Misty possessed a fear of most {{Type|Bug}}-types, she does make an exception for those she likes (such as [[Beautifly]], [[Butterfree (anime)|Ash's Butterfree]], [[Ash's Heracross]] and [[Ledyba]]), as well as ones that don't look like bugs (such as [[Pineco]], which looks like a pinecone).
*Misty may have a crush on Ash, as implied in the song Misty's song in 2 B a Master. The song also talks about both of them having that feeling, so it can be assumed that Ash feels the same.
 
  +
**She also has had a fear of [[Gyarados]] after crawling into one's mouth as a baby (despite it being part {{type|Water}}-type). She conquered this fear and she had a [[Misty's Gyarados|Gyarados]] of her own that knows the {{Type|Fire}}-type move [[Flamethrower]]. But it seems that it has forgotten the move. In her Sun and Moon appearance Gyarados can Mega Evolve, which she uses against Ash.
**Team Rocket also accused that Ash and Misty have a crush on each other when they kidnapped them and were thinking that since Brock wasn't with them, that they wanted to be alone, and when they do that Ash and Misty stare at each other and then blush and say that it's not true, but Team Rocket still thinks that they like each other.
 
  +
*Misty was the one who created the gag of pulling Brock away by the ear every time he flirted with a pretty woman. This gag transferred to Max in Hoenn, and then [[Brock's Croagunk]] in [[Sinnoh]] (though Croagunk used [[Poison Jab]] instead of pulling Brock's ear, making it easier to drag him away while he was stunned by the poison).
**As a result of her having a crush on Ash, Misty is very good at sensing when other girls love him, too, as seen in Love, Pokemon Style, when she saw that Macy had a crush on Ash as soon as she gained it. Naturally, she also despises girls who have a crush on Ash, as also seen in the same episode, where she yelled at Ash to crush her in their battle.
 
  +
*Misty originally referred to Ash's Caterpie as "ugly" and "disgusting"; Ash later attempted to leave Misty, only to have her secretly following him. Once Caterpie evolved into Metapod and then to Butterfree, she took a liking to it (thus showing that she didn't dislike all Bug-type Pokémon — just ones that did not fit her view of pretty looks).
**Ash has also shown to get jealous whenever Misty gets infatuated with another guy. This happened in the Orange Islands with Danny and Rudy.
 
  +
*Misty has three things she has a strong dislike for, bugs, carrots, peppers. This is made clear in [[TB003: Ash Catches a Pokémon|episode 3]] of the first series.
**As Misty left Ash's journey near the end of Master Quest season, she mentioned that she "now knows how Ash feels about her". This could imply that she knows that her feelings for Ash are well returned.
 
  +
*In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', while Misty's trophy describing her appearance in the games, it physically features her with her original outfit from the anime.
<span style="float:right;"><youtube width="150px" height="150px">9C5kBlctiMM</youtube></span>
 
  +
*A recurring gag that started in the Orange Islands League is when someone in the show indicated that Ash and Misty were attracted to each other — something both of them denied. Likewise, Takeshi Shudo mentions in his blogs that she doesn't feel romantic love for him, though his novelization Pokemon the Animation implies otherwise.
* [[Ash's Palpitoad]] is maybe a tribute to Misty because of her love for water Pokémon.
 
  +
**In the [[MS002: Pokémon the Movie 2000|second Pokémon movie]], Misty got awkward after [[Melody]] kisses Ash, which may imply that she was jealous and truly does have a crush on Ash. When Melody assumed she is his girlfriend, she denies it.
* Misty seems to be good at solving riddles.
 
  +
**Previously, in the Orange Island League, [[Rudy]], one gym leader who was attracted to Misty, thinks she has feelings for Ash and tried hinting at it to Ash, who was oblivious.
*It's been confirmed that Misty loves being barefoot, as she hates socks and loves the feeling of the cold ground against her feet.
 
  +
*Misty is the only female main character to appear in more than one generation as she appeared in [[Generation I]] and [[Generation II|II]] as a main character while May, Dawn, Iris, Bonnie, and Serena have each appeared in only one generation as a main character.

Latest revision as of 22:56, 2 March 2024

For the variant appearing in the games, see Misty.

Very funny. Carrots, peppers and bugs. Everybody has something they don't like and I don't like bugs!

Misty reveals her dislike of carrots, peppers and bugs.

Misty is a friend of Ash who debuted in the first episode of Pokémon the Series.

In the first episode, she meets Ash after fishing him out of a lake while he was trying to get away from a flock of Spearow. Ash then takes Misty's bike from her in order to escape the Spearow which is then inadvertently wrecked by Pikachu's Thunder Shock. Misty then tracks down Ash and follows him around on his adventures until he can pay her back, although she eventually forgets about the bike and becomes one of Ash's closest friends in the process. However, at the end of their journey through the Johto Region, Misty's bike has been completely repaired, and she leaves to return home to Cerulean City to resume her duties as a Gym Leader due to her sisters leaving for a cruise for three weeks. She has since spent much of her time at the gym even after her sisters returned from their cruise, partly because she didn't trust their capabilities of running the gym, though she nevertheless found time to visit the Mirage Kingdom in Hoenn as well as briefly reaccompany Ash at the start of his Battle Frontier quest, as well as visit Alola. Eventually, after watching Ash win the Pokemon Monarch title in Pokemon World Coronation Series Masters Eight Tournament, she became inspired to resume her own journey, even leaving the gym in the care of her sisters.

She is currently traveling the world, leaving the Cerulean City Gym Leader position to her older sisters.

Appearance

Misty has short, red hair tied into a side ponytail with blue elastic rubber band. She has green eyes and fair skin. She wears a yellow tank top that reveals her midriff, red suspenders, denim shorts that stop at her thighs and red high top sneakers with yellow lining and white laces. Her belly button is not usually drawn, but it is visible when she wears two-piece swimsuits. Her most common swimsuit is a red bikini, which she wore six times.

She later maintains her original outfit in her return in Alola, Kanto in Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon. In this series, her belly button is shown the entire time. Beneath her outfit is her blue strapless bikini which was worn by her counterpart in both games, Pokémon Red and Blue. In When Regions Collide!, Misty has a Key Stone hidden at the back of her ponytail.

Misty made cameo in Pokémon Ultimate Journeys: The Series wearing her blue strapless bikini which she was seen relaxing at the pool in the Cerulean City Gym along with both her Psyduck and her Gyarados while watching the final battle between Ash and Leon at the World Coronation series. She also maintains her main outfit at the end of the Ultimate Journeys: The Series upon meeting with Goh at the Cerulean City Gym.

In the episode SS016: Luvdisc Is a Many Splendored Thing! in Pokémon Chronicles, her primary top is replaced with a yellow sleeveless hoodie shirt and she also wears a slightly longer and looser blue shorts, a small white belt with a pink buckle and reddish-brown penny loafer shoes worn with white socks. Her swimsuit in Pokémon Chronicles is also changed to a green bikini.

In her mermaid form, she gets longer hair.

Her new outfit in Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire consists of a yellow tank top with a dark blue button, a dark blue collar, yellow shorts and orange shoes. She wore this outfit when she met up with Ash and Brock in The Princess and the Togepi and A Togepi Mirage! and again for three episodes when Ash returned to Kanto from Hoenn. She also wore this outfit in The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon along with a red drawstring bag.

During her and Brock's visit in Alola in Alola, Alola and Heart of Fire! Heart of Stone!, she wears a light yellow crop top with a salmon pink trim, an orange diagonal stripes on her midriff and a matching bows in each sides of the straps, a matching shorts with a salmon-pink ribbon-like belt and the linings in each sides along with an orange diagonal stripes and pink sandals. Her hairclip is now a rose pink and yellow flower hairpin which she conceals her Key Stone hidden at the back of her ponytail. Like her original outfit, Misty's entire midriff and belly button are uncovered.

Personality

As Misty is the youngest child in her family, she can sympathize with other youngest children like Mikey, Sakura, and Max.

Misty has a slight inferiority complex, mostly due to her three older sisters Daisy (oldest), Violet (second-from-oldest) and Lily (third-from-oldest), who formed the group, "The Three Sensational Sisters" (their synchronized swimming group), and refer to Misty as the "runt" or the "weaker one". This complex diminishes over time as Misty grows closer to them. Until Misty resumed her duties as the Cerulean City Gym Leader, her sisters were the ones who directly ran the gym, although when Ash came along to get his Cascade Badge, it was Misty who battled him for it, explicitly referring to herself as being one of the Gym Leaders during this instance.

Misty specializes mainly in Water-type Pokémon, which are her favorite type, but she's had other types, and she also deeply admires Lorelei, an Ice-type Pokémon Trainer. Misty aims to become a world-class trainer, and her well-trained Pokémon reflects her aspirations of becoming so. Her least favorite type of Pokémon is Bug-type Pokémon, as she has a deep-rooted fear of them, except for the kinds she sees as "cute" or "pretty" (i.e. Butterfree and Ledyba). However, Misty's fear lessens over the course of the series — but not to the point where she's totally gotten over it, as shown in A Real Cleffa Hanger, Alola, Kanto! and Alola, Alola!.

As the series continues, Misty gradually shows herself to be more mature, kind and sensible. For some reasons, Misty would restrain Brock from girls, often pulling him away by the ear and reprimanding him for his behavior. This trait continued with the friends who join Ash on his journeys after she parted ways with him, following their journey through the Johto Region.

Etymology

The name Misty originates from the word "mist".

Her Japanese name, Kasumi, is literally 霞 (kasumi, mist). However, it may also include 海 (umi, ocean), 水 (mizu, water) and 泉 (izumi, fountain).

Skills

GS035 2

One of Misty's lures.

Misty is a great fisher, good at making fishing lure versions of herself for her fishing and an amazing battler, due to being a Gym Leader.

Relationships

Family

Daisy, Violet, and Lily

Misty with Daisy, Violet and Lily

Misty and her sisters, Daisy, Violet and Lily.

Misty doesn't usually get along with her sisters but still loves them very much. Also, she does get annoyed with them a lot. She would help them whenever they needed it even if they don't, which shows how much she cares for them. Also, overtime, Misty has come to trust her sisters to look after the gym whenever she was absent.

Friends

Ash

Misty and Ash

Misty and Ash.

Misty didn't get off to a great start with Ash when they first met. Also, Misty followed Ash until the day he paid her back for her bike, after he borrowed it to save his Pikachu and accidentally destroyed it (though it was implied this may have been an excuse for companionship). However, Misty not only forgot about it, but also forgave Ash, as she understood that he had noble intentions and it getting destroyed was unintentional. Through their time together, Misty and Ash became best friends. Misty mentored Ash in becoming a Pokémon Trainer. Although she gets annoyed with him sometimes, Misty knows in her heart that Ash will always be there for her whenever she needed it and she would always be there for him for the same reason. Despite their friendship, Misty and Ash do fight a lot, as some of their fights led them to almost losing their friendship, but they make up in the end, and over time, their arguments grew less frequent.

Misty with Ash and Pikachu

Misty with Ash and Pikachu in Alola.

Also, Misty teases Ash from time to time and they have a friendly rivalry with each other as they try to show each other up, which ends up in one or the other being too overconfident or a little bit sadistic for their own good. When Misty was forced to return to Cerulean City to take over the Gym while her sisters went on an around-the-world cruise and got her bike repaired by Nurse Joy of Viridian City, she felt hurt towards Ash because he thought the repayment of her bike was the reason she traveled with him. However, Misty realized that Ash does care about her and their friendship when he and Brock saved her from the Invincible Pokémon Brothers.

Misty even sent one of her fishing lures to Ash as a gift, which shows that their friendship has remained strong. Also, Misty and Ash have seen each other again a few times as they're happy to see one another again, shown when she meets up with him in Hoenn, and his hometown when he briefly returned to Kanto and in Alola. After watching Ash in the Master Eight finals, Misty decided to travel again and left the gym under her sisters care. While traveling, Misty reunited with Ash at a beach and was surprised that a friend of his does his own lures like she does. However, Misty was upset that Ash doesn't use the lure she gave him, but doesn't realized that he had use it but doesn't want to damage it as she was unaware of how he truly appreciated the lure and worries about losing it. Despite this, Misty truly missed traveling with Ash and wanted to be with him again, even though she won't admit as she made an excuse as to why she wanted to be with him. However, little does Misty know, Ash also wanted to travel with her again and didn't buy her reason, as he pretended that he didn't want her around but Pikachu convinced him to accept her request.

Brock

Brock is Misty's other best friend as they greatly respect each other for their knowledge and skills as Pokémon Trainers.

She would claim she didn't like Psyduck, but she had many chances to get rid of it and she didn't use any of them. However, after the events of The Battle Frontier arc as shown in the Sun and Moon arc, their relationship has improved unexpectedly.

Pokémon the Series: The Beginning

Misty 2

Misty (Season 1)

In the series, Misty first is seen wearing a yellow crop top with red suspenders and light denim shorts. Her whole midriff is showing, but her belly button is not usually drawn. Her shoes were colored red and white, with a yellow streak in the middle. Misty's personality in the anime can be complex at times. She can be very nice to her friends but will then quickly change moods in a short amount of time, particularly anger. She is quite proficient in anything having to do with water, such as fishing, swimming, and overall Water Pokémon training. She also encountered Team Rocket many times and would assist Ash and Brock in stopping them. Even though she wanted to stay with Ash, Misty felt obligated to watch over her family's Gym since her sisters would be gone on their world trip. The two went their separate ways, and Misty resumed Gym Leader duties at Cerulean City's Gym. Although her time as Gym Leader was originally meant to be temporary while her sisters were away, Misty grew much more confident in her abilities to manage the Cerulean Gym, especially after managing to conquer her fear of Gyarados. As such, she ultimately became the main leader of the Gym.

Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire

In this series, Misty wears a pale yellow vest/sleeveless jacket, with a dark blue button and a collar of the same color. She also wears yellow shorts, a crimson leotard under her vest, light and burnt orange high-tops, and white socks.

Misty Togepi Safeguard

Misty being protected by Togepi.

Misty has only appeared as a guest star in the remainder of the Pokémon series. In one of her cameo appearances in the Advanced Generation series, her Togepi evolves into Togetic. Misty releases Togetic after it chooses to stay behind to defend the Mirage Kingdom and Togepi Paradise.

After Ash finishes competing in the Hoenn League, he returns home to Pallet Town to find Misty waiting for him. However, she isn't the only one to rejoin Ash — May, Max, and Brock join him as well for the Battle Frontier challenges. She travels with Ash for two episodes and then returns to her Gym shortly afterward.

Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon

SM042 4

Misty and Brock reuniting Ash along with meeting his Alolan friends for the first time.

Misty returns alongside with Brock in "Alola, Kanto!" when Ash returns to Kanto after his travels in Alola for his school project with his classmates. After an exploration, she is the only one who releases the Alolan Pokémon being compared with the Kanto Pokémon and helping Lana to find her Popplio under the depths of the lake. She releases Staryu to aid Brock's Crobat and Ash's Lycanroc to rescue their friends' Pokémon from Team Rocket. The next day, they travel to Cerulean City for their extracurricular lesson and after Brock tells Ash about his younger brother Forrest, who currently runs the Pewter City Gym, Misty tells them that her sisters are traveling, much to Brock's depression.

SM043 16

Misty battling against Ash.

In "SM043: When Regions Collide!", Misty shows to them the inside of the newly rebuilt Cerulean City Gym and thanked her Psyduck for guarding the Gym. She also uses this as an opportunity to battle against Mallow's Steenee and Lana's Popplio in a handicap but, when Psyduck gets a severe headache and to unleash Confusion on both Pokémon, Misty has to calm it. Misty later battles against Ash using her Gyarados against his Pikachu. She also reveals the Key Stone hidden at the back of the hairclip of her ponytail as she Mega Evolves her Gyarados. Despite her strategy, her Mega Gyarados was defeated by Pikachu who uses the Z-Move the Gigavolt Havoc.

After giving Lana, Mallow, and Lillie some replicas of Cascade Badges, she and Brock were told by Ash to visit him in Alola. Before Ash and the others depart, Misty became interested in Ash's Z-Ring.

She and Brock later visit Ash and the group in Pokémon School at Alola. Ash and his classmates give her a tour and she meets Nina and Anela. She surfs with them in a school of Mantine and plays around with a wild Alolan Exeggutor. She later helps them fend off Team Rocket by releasing her Gyarados to rescue a school of Mantine with their attacks. She angrily Mega Evolves her Gyarados, allowing Ash and the others to destroy the robot with their attacks and Z-Moves as she commands her Mega Gyarados to unleash Hydro Pump as a final blow, blasting Team Rocket off to the sky. Back at Melemele Island, she and Ash visit Brock while cooking some stew for dinner as Misty's Psyduck pops out on its own to eat their stew, much to Misty's annoyance. She noticed Ash was falling asleep while watching the night of the full moon and soon after the trio spend the night at their tent while being watched happily by both Professor Burnet and Professor Kukui.

Trivia

  • In the Pokémon anime, director/writer Takeshi Shudo's novelizations of the Pokémon anime series, Misty is confirmed in chapter 3 of novel 2 ("Four sisters of Hanada City") to be around the same age as Ash was when he started his journey, and as of that chapter. This would place Misty's age in the novels as being around 10 to 11 initially. In "Ash Catches a Pokémon" in a line that was rewritten in the dub to remove the mention of age, Misty after waking up to see Ash's Caterpie sleeping next to her exclaims that such was "the worst thing that's happened to [Misty] in the ten years of [Misty's] life", which implies that she's also 10 in the anime, at least initially, which is supported by supplemental materials for the show in the Japanese version listing her as 10.
  • Despite Misty being a Water-type trainer, she has had some exceptions in the anime — Togepi which is a Fairy-type, Togetic which evolved from Togepi is a Fairy turned Fairy/Flying type and Azurill which is a Normal type. That being said, however, the latter Pokémon does evolve into a Water type. She has also attempted to catch an Oddish once despite it actually being a Grass/Poison-type due to it drinking from a pool of water.
  • Despite being out of contact with Brock since Johto, when they visit Ash in the Sun and Moon series, Misty retains her old habit of punishing him for fawning over cute girls by dragging him away.
  • Misty is the first victim of the recurring gag in the anime where Ash's Pikachu destroys every main female character's bike. This gag was also transferred to May and Dawn. However, this gag did not affect Iris, Bonnie or Serena, because they did not have bikes.
    • Iris and Bonnie were shocked directly by Pikachu while Serena wasn't shocked at all.
  • In the anime, although Misty possessed a fear of most Bug-types, she does make an exception for those she likes (such as Beautifly, Ash's Butterfree, Ash's Heracross and Ledyba), as well as ones that don't look like bugs (such as Pineco, which looks like a pinecone).
    • She also has had a fear of Gyarados after crawling into one's mouth as a baby (despite it being part Water-type). She conquered this fear and she had a Gyarados of her own that knows the Fire-type move Flamethrower. But it seems that it has forgotten the move. In her Sun and Moon appearance Gyarados can Mega Evolve, which she uses against Ash.
  • Misty was the one who created the gag of pulling Brock away by the ear every time he flirted with a pretty woman. This gag transferred to Max in Hoenn, and then Brock's Croagunk in Sinnoh (though Croagunk used Poison Jab instead of pulling Brock's ear, making it easier to drag him away while he was stunned by the poison).
  • Misty originally referred to Ash's Caterpie as "ugly" and "disgusting"; Ash later attempted to leave Misty, only to have her secretly following him. Once Caterpie evolved into Metapod and then to Butterfree, she took a liking to it (thus showing that she didn't dislike all Bug-type Pokémon — just ones that did not fit her view of pretty looks).
  • Misty has three things she has a strong dislike for, bugs, carrots, peppers. This is made clear in episode 3 of the first series.
  • In Super Smash Bros. Melee, while Misty's trophy describing her appearance in the games, it physically features her with her original outfit from the anime.
  • A recurring gag that started in the Orange Islands League is when someone in the show indicated that Ash and Misty were attracted to each other — something both of them denied. Likewise, Takeshi Shudo mentions in his blogs that she doesn't feel romantic love for him, though his novelization Pokemon the Animation implies otherwise.
    • In the second Pokémon movie, Misty got awkward after Melody kisses Ash, which may imply that she was jealous and truly does have a crush on Ash. When Melody assumed she is his girlfriend, she denies it.
    • Previously, in the Orange Island League, Rudy, one gym leader who was attracted to Misty, thinks she has feelings for Ash and tried hinting at it to Ash, who was oblivious.
  • Misty is the only female main character to appear in more than one generation as she appeared in Generation I and II as a main character while May, Dawn, Iris, Bonnie, and Serena have each appeared in only one generation as a main character.
    • Also, she is the only female traveling companion to appear in more than two series, as she appears in the Original series, Advanced Generation series, and Sun & Moon series, bringing Misty to a total of three so far.
  • Misty adopts a different personality when talking about/interacting with water Pokémon, as noted by Ash in the episode Tentacool & Tentacruel.
  • Misty did not actually become Gym Leader in SS002: Cerulean Blues, as the Japanese version of that episode had Inspector Joy specifically stating that Misty proved herself well enough to continue running Cerulean Gym. In addition, Misty has also explicitly referred to herself in both versions as the Cerulean Gym Leader in "The Water Flowers of Cerulean City", "Totodile Duel", and "Entei and the Unknown Tower", taking place well before Cerulean Blues.
  • Misty is first major female character to:
    • Be from Kanto.
    • Be a Gym Leader.
    • Have caught or received a Water, Psychic, Normal, Rock, Flying and Dark-type Pokémon.
    • Have caught or received a pure Water-type Pokémon.

    • Have a Pokémon or more that evolved into their second stage or were fully evolved before being obtained or caught.
    • Have released a Pokémon.
    • Use Mega Evolution.
    • Have a Pokémon that can Mega evolve change its type.
  • Not counting her cameos in flashbacks and photos, Misty currently holds the record for being the traveling companion with the longest "non-appearance gap" in the anime with 573 episodes between A Real Cleffa-Hanger and her reappearance in Alola, Kanto!
  • She is referenced by Ash in Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl, with her likeness appearing as a fishing lure Ash owns. She also appears in a flashback in Pokémon the Series: Black and White.
  • Misty shares a few characteristics with Lana.
    • They both have a love for Water-type Pokémon.
    • Both have siblings. (Lana is the oldest and Misty is the youngest respectively.)
    • Both enjoy swimming and fishing.
    • Both specialize in battling with Water-type Pokémon.
    • Both have at least one Normal-Type Pokémon with their Water-Type Pokémon: Misty has her Azurill and formerly had her Togepi, and Lana has her Eevee named Sandy, respectively. Coincidentally, both her Azurill and Sandy are Pokémon that can evolve into Water Types (or in the case of the latter, potentially evolve).
    • Both of them have nicknamed at least one of their Pokémon: Misty has nicknamed one of her Luvdisc Caserin while her olser sister Daisy owns Luverin, and Lana has nicknamed her Eevee Sandy, respectively.
  • Misty is one of the three Travelling Companions of Ash's who has a nicknamed Pokémon. The others being Lana and Lillie.
  • While it is never mentioned in the anime, the July 2006 issue of K-Zone Magazine revealed Misty's surname is Williams.
