Template:Character Misty is a female Pokemon Trainer and Gym Leader, controlling the Cerulean City gym in place of her sisters, who previously operated it.
She first appeared in the first episode of the Kanto Region series, which launched the Pokemon anime, where Ash Ketchum's Pikachu destroyed her bike by accident. She used that as an excuse to follow him around on his adventures until he could "pay her back", she grew from hating him to being close friends.
Because of her position as a water-based gym leader, she has been considered as an expert in anything related to the water-elemental, including activities outside of Pokemon training, such as swimming and diving. This has been shown several times when she saved people from drowning, the most particular one during Pokemon the Movie: 2000 when she dived after an unconscious Ash in the water.
In the TV series, she is seen wearing a yellow tank top and blue denim shorts, and red sided running shoes. In this costume, her midriff revealed, although her belly button is not drawn most of the time (it is, however, shown when she is wearing a bikini). Later on this is changed to a yellow sleeveless jacket, yellow shorts, and brown hiking shoes.
