Misty (Pokémon the Series) (2024)

NOTE: This article is about the incarnation of Misty from the Pokémon the Series anime. The mainstream version can be found here: Misty (Pokémon).

Misty (Japanese: カスミ Kasumi)is a major character in the Pokémon anime series. She is the one of Ash's first traveling companions (alongside Brock) and the current leader of the Cerulean Gym.

She is voiced by Mayumi Iizuka in the Japanese version, and was originally voiced by Rachael Lillis in the 4Kids English version, and is currently voiced by Michele Knotz in the TPCi English version.

Appearance[]

Misty is a short, slender girl with a fit build, spiky red hair tied into a side ponytail with blue elastic rubber band, green eyes and fair skin.

Regular outfit[]

Misty is shown wearing a yellow crop top, denim jean shorts (dark or light blue at times although turquoise is the intended color) held up with red suspenders and red sneakers with yellow lining without socks but also wore yellow and white sneakers.

Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire[]

Misty is shown wearing a yellow sleeveless top or vest with a large blue button on the front and matching shorts, worn over some sort of dark-red under-all.

Personality[]

In the early episodes, Misty is depicted as having a wicked temper, stubborn temperament, and little patience. As the series progresses, however, she gradually shows herself to be kind and sensible.

Although she regularly displays a somewhat romantic streak, Misty constantly reins in Brock when he becomes enamored with cute girls (style of Barbie dolls), often pulling him away by the ear. She has a slight rivalry with Ash, and she is also terrified of most Bug-type Pokémon. Misty aims to be a world-class Water-type Pokémon trainer despite her sisters' ridicule.

Overview[]

Misty lives in Cerulean City and has three sisters named Daisy, Violet, and Lily. She first came across Ash when she accidentally fished him and his Pikachu out of a river while fishing for water Pokémon. Soon after this incident, Ash borrowed her bike, attempting to flee from a flock of wild Spearow. The bike was later charred by a Thunder Shock from Pikachu. Misty told Ash she would not leave him alone until he replaced the bike and committed to following him on his journey, and the two soon became close friends. After retrieving her bike at the end of the Johto League Silver Conference, she returns to the Cerulean Gym and resumes her duties as the Gym Leader.

As such, she was not featured as a character in the later seasons until she appeared again in the Sun & Moon series, only appearing in a few episodes and specials before that. She became a central character in Pokémon Chronicles, a Pokémon the Series spin-off. She maintains her friendship with Ash and once greeted him when he returned to Pallet following a long stint in Hoenn.
