'''Misty''' (Japanese: '''カスミ''' ''Kasumi'') is an aspiring [[Type expert|Water Pokémon Master]] and a {{ashfr|traveling partner}} of {{Ash}}. She is also the [[Gym Leader]] of the [[Cerulean Gym]], handing out the {{Badge|Cascade}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat her. She specializes in {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

Misty journeyed with Ash through [[Kanto]], the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]], and [[Johto]], sharpening her skills as a Water-type Trainer along the way. Eventually, she decided to return home to preside over her family's Gym. After watching Ash in the [[Masters Eight Tournament]], she was inspired to go on another journey and left the Gym under her sisters' care. During her travels, she reunited and resumed traveling with Ash in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series|Pocket Monsters: Aim to Be a Pokémon Master]]''.

===History===
====Pre-series====
[[File:Baby Misty.png|thumb|left|220px|Baby Misty]]
Not much is known about Misty's early childhood other than her technically being one of the [[Gym Leader]]s alongside the [[Sensational Sisters|three sisters]]. When she was very young, an encounter with a {{p|Gyarados}} at the [[Cerulean Gym]] led to her being frightened of them. In ''[[EP148|No Big Woop!]]'', it was revealed that Misty used to play the tambourine as a toddler. Misty often received hand-me-down toys and clothes from her older sisters, who seemed to have been favored in their family, as seen during flashbacks in ''[[EP052|Princess vs. Princess]]''. Bullying and exclusion by her sisters led Misty to leave home and effectively leave her sisters as the Gym Leaders prior to ''[[EP001|Pokémon, I Choose You!]]'', choosing to prove herself as a {{type|Water}} [[Pokémon Master]].

====[[Original series]]====
[[File:Misty Burnt Bike.png|thumb|220px|Misty carrying her burnt bike]]
Misty debuted in ''[[EP001|Pokémon, I Choose You!]]'', [[fishing]] in a nearby river on {{rt|1|Kanto}}. As her fishing rod snagged something, she managed to pull out not a {{type|Water}} Pokémon, but {{Ash}} and his injured {{AP|Pikachu}}, who were being chased by a flock of {{p|Spearow}}. After pointing Ash in the direction of the nearest [[Pokémon Center]], the one in [[Viridian City]], he borrowed her [[bicycle]], saying that he would return it someday.

In ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'', Misty appeared in the Pokémon Center after Ash dropped off his Pikachu, holding her charred bike and demanding a new one right away. She continued following Ash as he headed for [[Pewter City]], telling him in ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'' that she would continue following him until she was paid back for the bike.

Consequently, Misty traveled around the [[Kanto]] [[region]], the [[Orange Archipelago]], and the [[Johto]] region with Ash. Earlier in the series, she mentioned getting her bicycle replaced several times. By the end of the [[Indigo League]], however, Misty seemed to have forgotten about the bicycle, indicating that her real reason for following along with Ash was that she simply wanted to remain with her friends. While traveling with Ash, Misty often acted as his coach in [[Pokémon battle]]s.

Ash and Misty were later joined by {{an|Brock}}, from ''Showdown in Pewter City'' to ''[[EP083|Poké Ball Peril]]'' and again from the end of ''[[EP116|The Rivalry Revival]]'' to the end of the original series, and {{Tracey}} from ''[[EP084|The Lost Lapras]]'' to ''The Rivalry Revival''. When she and Brock were both traveling with Ash, Misty would pull Brock away by his ear when he approached a beautiful woman. This began in ''[[EP036|The Bridge Bike Gang]]'' and ''[[EP069|Lights, Camera, Quack-tion]]'', and became far more frequent while they were in Johto.
[[File:Misty Daisy Violet Lily.png|thumb|220px|left|Misty with Daisy, Violet, and Lily]]
In ''[[EP007|The Water Flowers of Cerulean City]]'', Misty challenged Ash to a [[Gym]] battle after her sisters at the Cerulean Gym nearly gave Ash a {{badge|Cascade}} without a battle and to prove she was as good a Pokémon Trainer as her sisters. Ash and Misty each defeated one Pokémon, but {{TRT}} interrupted the match when they tried to steal the Gym's Water Pokémon. Misty's sisters awarded Ash a Badge when Pikachu saved the Gym with its {{m|Thunderbolt}}, over Misty's objections.

In ''[[EP019|Tentacool & Tentacruel]]'', while waiting for the next ferry to the mainland, Misty saw a large group of {{p|Tentacool}} and a {{pkmn2|giant}} {{p|Tentacruel}} attacking [[Porta Vista]] after human activity destroyed their homes. She convinced the Tentacool and Tentacruel to stop attacking the port, and the humans would no longer occupy Tentacool and Tentacruel's homes in the reef, and caught a {{TP|Misty|Horsea}} as well.

Misty became the first main character to look after a [[baby Pokémon]] in ''[[EP050|Who Gets to Keep Togepi?]]'', when the egg that Ash had found in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'' hatches into a {{TP|Misty|Togepi}}. It imprinted on Misty as its mother when she became the first thing it saw, even after Ash won a tournament to decide who got to keep it. Misty would carry Togepi around without a Poké Ball for the rest of the series.

In ''[[EP103|Misty Meets Her Match]]'', Misty was given a chance to stay in the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]] when [[Rudy]], the Gym Leader on [[Trovita Island]], offered to let her stay with him. Misty considered the offer, but she ultimately chose to keep traveling with Ash, and supported him in his battle against Rudy.

In ''[[EP168|Hook, Line, and Stinker]]'', Misty competed in the annual [[Seaking Catching Competition]]. After Misty and [[Andreas]] both caught {{p|Seaking}} that weighed 55 kg., Misty and Andreas battled each other in order to break the tie. Misty won the competition after her {{TP|Misty|Poliwhirl}} defeated Andreas' {{p|Poliwrath}}.
[[File:Misty and Trinity.png|220px|thumb|Misty and Trinity]]
Misty participated in the [[Whirl Cup]] alongside Ash from ''[[EP215|Octillery the Outcast]]'' to ''[[EP217|The Perfect Match!]]''. She defeated Ash in the second round and made it to the best eight of the competition before she narrowly lost to [[Trinity]].

In ''[[EP256|Just Add Water]]'', Misty met a Water-type Trainer named [[Dorian]], after discovering that he is a fan of her sisters, Misty challenged him to a battle. After defeating Team Rocket and ending her battle with Dorian in a draw, Dorian was impressed with Misty's battle skills.

In ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]'', Misty returned to the Viridian City Pokémon Center and learned that her bicycle was repaired by the city's [[Nurse Joy]]. Misty was shown to be sad that she no longer had the convenient excuse to travel with Ash — especially when she saw that Ash hadn't learned that and had assumed she followed him because of her bike. In addition, her sisters {{an|Daisy}}, {{ka|Lily}}, and {{an|Violet}}, called Misty at this time to tell her they were going on a world tour, and needed her to return to Cerulean and watch the Gym in their absence. However, Misty saw how Ash truly cared for her when he saved her from a trio of [[Invincible Pokémon Brothers|Pokémon gangsters]]. Misty wanted to stay with Ash, but felt it was her responsibility to take over the Gym, which would be shut down if it was left unattended.

Upon the return of her sisters, Misty remained the sole Cerulean [[Gym Leader]]. Since their return, only Daisy appears to spend any significant amount of time at the Gym. While working in the Gym, Misty sometimes receives help from Tracey when he is either visiting or running an errand for {{an|Professor Oak}}.

====''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]''====
[[File:Misty AG.png|thumb|220px|Misty and {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'']]
Misty was first mentioned by Ash in ''[[AG007|Tree's a Crowd]]''.

She reappeared from ''[[AG044|The Princess and the Togepi]]'' to ''[[AG045|A Togepi Mirage!]]'', where she met up with Ash and Brock again in [[Hoenn]], along with meeting {{an|May}} and [[Max]] for the first time. In ''A Togepi Mirage'', her {{P|Togepi}} [[Evolution|evolved]] into a {{TP|Misty|Togetic}} and helped defend the [[Togepi Paradise]]. Towards the end of the episode, Togetic decided to stay with the other Togepi to protect them, sharing one last tearful moment with Misty.

She watched Ash compete in the [[Ever Grande Conference]] in ''[[AG126|Saved by the Beldum]]'' and ''[[AG128|Shocks and Bonds]]''. She then traveled with Ash from ''[[AG132|The Scheme Team]]'' to ''[[AG134|A Real Cleffa-Hanger]]'', and was later invited to the [[Mirage Mansion]] by [[Dr. Yung]] in ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]''. She later appeared in flashbacks in ''[[AG189|Gathering the Gang of Four]]''.

It was revealed in ''[[HS02|Cerulean Blues]]'' that Misty feared {{p|Gyarados}}, having climbed into one's mouth as a baby, and that she doubted her own ability to run Cerulean Gym alone. It wasn't until she selflessly protected her {{TP|Misty|Gyarados}} from a {{m|Poison Sting}} assault that she was not only able to conquer her fears but regain the confidence to run the Gym with a now-obedient Gyarados.

====''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''====
Misty never physically appeared in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'', but she was referenced a couple of times. [[Misty's special lure|Her special lure]] appeared in ''[[DP034|Buizel Your Way out of This!]]'', and she appeared in a picture on {{an|Brock}}'s memory wall in the special episode [[DPS02]].

====''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]''====
Misty appeared in a flashback in ''[[BW116|The Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion!]]'' as Ash recalled the important moments of his and {{AP|Charizard}}'s friendship. She was mentioned and reappeared in a fantasy in ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]''.

====''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]''====
[[File:Misty showcasing her Key Stone.png|thumb|250px|left|Misty and her Key Stone]]
Misty made recurring appearances during ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]'', starting with ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]''. Misty and Brock reunited with Ash when he and {{ashcl}} arrived at the Kanto airport, then compared Kantonian and {{rf|Alolan}} Pokémon with the class at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|Professor Oak's lab]]. Later, Misty and the rest of the group worked together to defeat {{TRT}}, who Misty was angry to find were still stealing Pokémon. Afterwards, the group had a party and learned from {{an|Professor Kukui}} that the class had plans to head to [[Cerulean City]] for a Gym battle.

In ''[[SM043|When Regions Collide!]]'', the group arrived at Cerulean City, where Misty and Brock assisted Professor Kukui's lecture on the mechanics of Gym battles and the [[Pokémon League]]. Misty defeated {{an|Lana}} and {{an|Mallow}} in a [[Multi Battle]], but she and her [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{TP|Misty|Gyarados}} lost against Ash and his {{AP|Pikachu}}. She and Brock then bade Ash and his classmates farewell and accepted Ash's offer to visit Alola sometime in the future.
[[File:Lana and Misty.png|thumb|250px|Misty and Lana]]
During the time that passed after the visit to Alola, Lana and Misty became close friends, exchanging messages with each other.

In ''[[SM102|Alola, Alola!]]'', Misty and Brock visited Ash and his classmates in [[Alola]] after Lana invited them. She also explained that her sisters took charge, and implied that Cerulean Gym was facing enough challengers that she simply needed a break. Whilst Brock remained at the Pokémon Center, Misty accompanied Ash and the others to [[Treasure Island]], where they enjoyed [[Mantine Surf]]ing and playing with the Pokémon before the villainous obstacle Team Rocket trio attempted to steal the {{p|Mantine}}. However, with the help of Gyarados and several [[Z-Moves]], she and the others managed to blast Team Rocket off, foiling their every plan.

In ''[[SM103|Heart of Fire! Heart of Stone!]]'', Misty accompanied Ash, his classmates, and Brock to [[Akala Island]] where they visited [[Paniola Ranch]] and later met [[island kahuna]] [[Olivia]]. At the end of the episode, Brock and Misty left Alola to return to Kanto, although not before expressing interest in visiting Alola again.

====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''====
In ''[[JN018|Destination: Coronation!]]'', Misty's silhouette was alongside the other Kanto Gym Leaders as the narrator explained how the Gym Leader system works in the [[Pokémon world]].

In ''[[JN132|Partners in Time!]]'', Misty appeared watching Ash's [[Masters Eight Tournament]] match against {{an|Leon}} alongside Psyduck and Gyarados at the Cerulean Gym. During the battle's climax, Misty is shown to be anxious as Pikachu reaches his limit.
[[File:Misty and Goh.png|left|thumb|250px|Misty meeting [[Goh]] and his Inteleon]]
In [[JN136]], Misty is seen meeting [[Goh]] and interacting with his {{TP|Goh|Inteleon}} at the Cerulean Gym.
[[File:Misty JN.png|thumb|250px|Misty in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'']]
In [[JN138]], Misty reunited with Ash, stopping him from trying to catch a {{TP|Misty|Clauncher}} that she had been trying to catch. After a trying to catch Clauncher through fishing, Misty and Ash had a battle to decide who would catch Clauncher. Misty used her Politoed to battle against {{AP|Corphish}} and after a tough battle, Politoed emerged victorious, allowing Misty to add Clauncher to her team. Afterward, Misty decided to rejoin Ash on his journey. She also explained that she decided to go on a new journey, and left the gym under the care of her sisters.

In [[JN139]], Misty and Ash traveled to [[Galar]]. After reuniting with {{an|Brock}}, they were helped by {{an|Cilan}} to save Brock from the mind control of a wild {{p|Hatterene}}. After everything was resolved, Brock joined the group and they said goodbye to Cilan who went back to travel alone.

In [[JN143]], Misty joined Ash to rescue a {{p|Wailmer}} that was trapped in a mountain. During the rescue, the Pokémon evolved into a {{p|Wailord}}, which made everything more difficult. With Ash's Pokémon, Misty, and Brock, and their respective Trainers working together, they were able to rescue the huge Pokémon.

In [[JN144]], Misty joined Ash to give {{p|Banette}} a new heart-shaped hair tie. Ash decided that Misty should give her heart-shaped hair tie to Banette, and she agreed. After a long search for Banette, Ash gave Misty's heart-shaped hair tie to {{p|Banette}}. However, Ash and his friends then decided that he and his friends should look for its owner. They scattered around with no hope, leading them to become tired and decide to continue the search the next day. But when Brock realized that Banette's owner was Nurse Joy, they organized a reunion that finally happened.

====Other appearances====
Misty made a cameo appearance in the ending credits of ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]''.

Misty reappeared in ''[[M22|Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution]]'', where she had largely the same role as in ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''.

===Character===
[[File:Mistys fear of bugs.png|thumb|250px|Misty showing her fear of Bug Pokémon]]
Misty is a girl who can be sweet and optimistic at times, but she is best known for her vocal frustrations and seething anger. Misty also tended to get very angry whenever {{Ash}} got their party lost, especially in forests. She is very extreme in most of her moods, and she abruptly switches between her emotions. However, as time went on, Misty mellowed and her hyperactive personality was reduced significantly by the end of the [[original series]].

She is also picky, sensitive, nosy, and grumpy about love. There are many episodes where she is seen getting along with the younger siblings of the family, namely [[Mikey]], [[Sakura]], and [[Max]]. This stems from the fact that she understands what it's like to be the youngest because she has three older sisters.

She is shown to have a somewhat vain side to her, often referring to herself as an "internationally known beauty" ('''世界の美少女''' ''the world's most beautiful girl'') in introductions to others. However, this trait was mostly excluded from the [[dub]] until ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]''.

[[File:Misty and Ash Oshawott.png|left|thumb|250px|Misty and [[Ash's Oshawott]]]]
Her goals are not as clear as those of the other main characters, but her main interest is {{pkmn|training}} {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with the dream of becoming a Water [[Pokémon Master]]. Misty aggressively defends the Water-type against critics as seen in ''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]'' and when she first met {{t|Fire}} enthusiast [[Macy]]. She considers all members of the Water-type to be "cute", though her positive opinion on {{p|Tentacool}} in ''[[EP019|Tentacool and Tentacruel]]'' divided Ash and {{an|Brock}}. [[Fishing]] is one of her hobbies, and she even has a {{TP|Misty|special lure}}, which she designed to look like herself. In ''[[AG187|The Unbeatable Lightness of Seeing!]]'', she sent one to Ash as a gift. Sometime before she left for Kanto at the end of ''[[SM103|Heart of Fire! Heart of Stone!]]'', Misty gave Lana another one as thanks for inviting her and Brock to visit Alola.

Misty's battle style was first showcased in ''[[EP007|The Water Flowers of Cerulean City]]'', where she challenged Ash. She had her {{TP|Misty|Staryu}} dive into the water to wash off {{AP|Butterfree}}'s [[Status condition|status]]-inducing [[move]]s. Misty has developed a more rounded battle strategy since becoming the full-time Cerulean Gym Leader, mirroring many of Ash's own methods. During ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'', Misty was shown to become increasingly confident and focused on her role as the Cerulean [[Gym Leader]]. ''[[HS02|Cerulean Blues]]'' saw her overcome her fear and help calm a raging {{TP|Misty|Gyarados}} which now serves as one of her main Pokémon, while Misty learned about the Gym Badge-making process and began to appreciate her role in ''[[HS05|The Blue Badge of Courage]]''. She continues to improve her Pokémon as seen with {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}}'s mastery of {{m|Water Gun}} and her {{TP|Misty|Corsola}}'s strong defenses make for a tireless battle.

The one Pokémon [[type]] that Misty cannot stand are {{type|Bug}}s, as shown in ''[[EP003|Ash Catches a Pokémon!]]'' and more recently in ''[[SM102|Alola, Alola!]]''. The only Bug-type Pokémon Misty is not afraid of are the kinds that she deems "cute" or "pretty", like {{p|Ledyba}} and {{p|Butterfree}}, some belonging to her friends, like [[Tracey's Venonat]], or ones that don't look like bugs, such as {{p|Pineco}}. However, Bug Pokémon are only one of three things Misty strongly dislikes, the other two being {{wp|carrot}}s and {{wp|Bell pepper|peppers}}. When asked how she feels about dual typed Bug/Water Pokémon, such as {{p|Dewpider}}, Misty replied with "that's a tough one".

Her catchphrase when sending out a Pokémon is ('''いくわよ！マーイステディ！''' ''Go! My Steady!''). Like her "beauty" title, this was not carried over into the dub until ''Sun & Moon''.

[[File:Misty party JN.png|250px|thumb|Misty and some of her Pokémon in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'']]

===Pokémon===
Either through the tradition of her family's Gym or merely her love of them, Misty prefers to train {{type|Water}} Pokémon. She usually bases her choice of Pokémon to train by looks, preferring Pokémon that she thinks of as "cute" over ones that she thinks are "ugly," but is willing to overcome such differences.

Her love of Water Pokémon stems from the fact that they are extremely flexible in battle, meaning that they can easily adapt to the opponent, as she stated in ''[[EP240|Some Like It Hot]]''. Since becoming a Gym Leader, she has overcome her fear of {{p|Gyarados}} and continues to learn more about caring and battling with Water Pokémon as challengers come to the [[Cerulean Gym]].

As an experienced Water-type Pokémon Trainer, Misty has access to many powerful Pokémon and mechanics such as [[Mega Evolution]]. This allows her to be able to battle other powerful Trainers like [[Dorian]], [[Trinity]], or Ash in equal conditions.

This is a listing of Misty's Pokémon. Pokémon listed as "in rotation" have been seen since her return to the main cast in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''.

===The Electric Tale of Pikachu===
[[File:Misty EToP.png|thumb|200px|Misty in The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]
Misty is a recurring character in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]. She first appears in ''[[ET01|Pikachu, I See You]]''. She takes a liking to {{OBP|Ash's Pikachu|EToP}} and tells {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|EToP|Ash}} about what it takes to be a professional Pokémon Trainer. Ash steals her [[bicycle]] later to rush Pikachu to a [[Pokémon Center]] after being injured by a flock of {{p|Spearow}}.

She travels with Ash for the following chapter, ''[[ET02|Play Misty For Me]]'', expecting Ash to repay her for her bike. Later, when Ash arrives in [[Cerulean City]], he battles her instead of [[The Sensational Sisters]]. Misty awards Ash the {{Badge|Cascade}} when his {{AP|Fearow}} takes back his {{AP|hat}} from Misty's head.

Misty disappears from the manga until Ash and {{an|Brock}} bump into her at the [[Nomads Independence Day]] festival in ''[[ET05|The Human Race and the Pokémon Race]]''. After this, she is a common traveling companion to Ash and Brock, though they still part ways at times, such as when Misty and [[Duplica]] search for wild {{p|Ditto}} in ''[[ET07|Pikachu's Excellent Adventure]]''.

==Trivia==
* Misty was designed by [[Atsuko Nishida]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/El_Aleph87/status/1632063563744378884 Press release of "Hometown Story"]</ref>
* Misty is 10 years old in the anime,<ref name="age"/> though she is 12 years old in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]].
* Misty is the first victim of the recurring gag in the anime where Ash's Pikachu shocks a main female character's [[bicycle]] or the character herself at the beginning of each series.
* Misty is the first main character to be seen owning a [[Generation II]] Pokémon, that Pokémon being {{TP|Misty|Togepi}}.
* Misty is the only main character with a game counterpart to not have any of her main outfits influenced by those worn by [[Misty|her game counterpart]].
* Out of all of [[Ash's friends]], Misty:
** Holds the record of having the most Pokémon [[Party|on hand]] at the time of her debut and the largest number of Pokémon with unexplained origins, with three each.
** Is the first one to have challenged a [[Gym]], albeit an unofficial one, as shown in ''[[EP256|Just Add Water]]''.
* Out of all of Ash's female friends, Misty:
** Has appeared in the most amount of episodes, at 296.
** Has owned the most Pokémon, at 12.
** Is the first one to have had a full team of six Pokémon on hand, having done so thrice. {{an|Dawn}} would be the only other female character to have a full party on hand.
** Is the only one to own more than one Pokémon of a given evolutionary family, those being {{TP|Misty|Staryu}} and {{TP|Misty|Starmie}}.
* Only Misty's Japanese name ('''カスミ''' ''Kasumi'', meaning {{wp|baby's breath}}) references the floral theme behind the name of her older sisters: {{an|Daisy}}, {{an|Violet}}, and {{ka|Lily}}. In all other languages, her name references water.
* Out of all of Ash's friends who temporarily returned after departing with Ash, Misty:
** Is the first to return in more than one series.
*** Furthermore, Misty is the only one that has done so to have changed from ''and'' back to her [[List of clothing (anime)|original outfit]] , as she returned to wearing her [[original series]] outfit in ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]'', after changing into a different outfit from ''[[AG044|The Princess and the Togepi]]'' onward.
** Is the only one who has had new Pokémon added to her party, those being {{TP|Misty|Gyarados}} and {{TP|Misty|Azurill}}.
* Both Misty and [[Jessie]] were voiced by [[Rachael Lillis]], and then switched to [[Michele Knotz]] when the 4Kids dub ended in 2006.
* According to ''[[Pocket Monsters: The Animation]]'', Misty's parents abandoned their children and the Cerulean Gym due to the harsh regulations for Gym duties, thus forcing her and her sisters to run the Cerulean Gym until she left at 10 years old. She also went to school at a girls-only school, with the closest she had to any significant encounter with someone of the opposite sex before meeting Ash was during the third grade where she lured a boy behind the gymnasium to tell him off for picking on one of her friends and beating him up.
* Former director and storyboard artist of the [[Pokémon anime]], [[Masamitsu Hidaka]], stated in [http://www.pokebeach.com/news/0708/interview-with-masamitsu-hidaka-at-anime-expo an interview] that Misty will not return as a main character in future seasons, but she will continue to make guest appearances like she has in the past. He compared it to how {{an|May}} came back for the [[Wallace Cup]] in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'', but said since [[Pokémon Contest]]s "aren't really her thing," it would be for something else like a battle.
** As of [[JN138]], however, Misty has returned as a long-term travelling companion of Ash during the ''Aim to Be a Pokémon Master'' arc of ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''.
