The '''Sensational Sisters''' (Japanese: '''ハナダ{{tt|水|みず}}{{tt|姉妹|しまい}}''' ''[[Cerulean City|Hanada]] Water Sisters'') are a group consisting of {{an|Misty}}'s three older sisters, {{an|Daisy}}, {{an|Violet}}, and {{ka|Lily}}. At some point before the series, the sisters were put in charge of the [[Cerulean Gym]]. However, after {{Gary}} and the other two {{pkmn|Trainer}}s from [[Pallet Town]] defeated them one after the other, they decided to stop accepting challenges and instead perform water ballet shows for the residents of [[Cerulean City]]. Their younger sister {{an|Misty}} would eventually take over their position as [[Gym Leader]].

==In the anime==
===History===
====Pre-series====
When {{an|Misty}} left prior to ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'' to become a {{t|Water}} [[Pokémon Master]], {{an|Daisy}}, {{an|Violet}} and {{ka|Lily}} were put in charge of the [[Cerulean Gym]].  
 
====[[Original series]]====
The Sensational Sisters debuted in ''[[EP007|The Water Flowers of Cerulean City]]''. When {{Ash}} came to the [[Cerulean Gym|Gym]] to earn his {{Badge|Cascade}}, they turned down his challenge. They explained that after {{Gary}} and the other two {{pkmn|Trainer}}s from [[Pallet Town]] defeated them consecutively, they decided to stop battling and to instead perform water shows for the residents of [[Cerulean City]]. {{an|Daisy}} then offered to give the Cascade Badge to Ash for free. Misty, however, appeared and challenged Ash to a battle with the Badge as a prize. After Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}} saved the Gym from {{TRT}}, the sisters decided to award him a Cascade Badge despite the fact that he hadn't defeated Misty. They wished Misty well on her personal quest, hoping that her efforts would amount to something.
 
Misty stopped by the Cerulean Gym to drop off her {{TP|Misty|Starmie}} and {{TP|Misty|Horsea}} to play there in ''[[EP061|The Misty Mermaid]]''. Upon arriving, she realized that her sisters continued to pursue their performing ambitions and neglected the Gym, and was also enlisted in their latest play, the Underwater Ballet. Team Rocket gate-crashed the performance, and tied Lily and Violet up. While Daisy freed the pair, the sisters watched Ash and {{ashfr}} battle Team Rocket underwater. Violet sent out [[Misty's Psyduck]] in a bid to defeat Team Rocket, though its fear of water made it useless and embarrassing. The show proved to be a massive hit with the crowd, who were unaware that Team Rocket's appearance was not part of the show, and the sisters' show was booked for the next six months.
 
In ''[[EP256|Just Add Water]]'', [[Dorian]], an ambitious Water expert who runs the unofficial [[Coastline Gym]], is a big fan of the Sensational Sisters. Having met them several times, he became inspired to perform his own synchronized water shows.


==In the anime==
In ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]'', the sisters called Misty to tell her that they had won a trip around the world after Daisy placed third in a pageant competition. They made Misty return to Cerulean City and abandon her travels with Ash and {{an|Brock}}, so she could take over the role of Gym Leader during their absence.
They first appeared in the episode ''[[EP007|The Water Flowers of Cerulean City]]''. When {{Ash}} came to the [[Cerulean Gym|Gym]] to earn his {{Badge|Cascade}}, he, with his {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{an|Brock}}, were surprised to find that instead of a {{pkmn|battle}}, a show was going on where the sisters were performing. At the end of the show, Ash found them out and asked them about the [[Gym Leader]]. They informed him that they were the Gym Leaders, but as their Pokémon were tired because they were beaten three times, they no longer wanted to battle. Daisy then offered to give away the Cascade Badge to Ash for nothing. Misty however appeared just then and challenged Ash to a battle to win the Badge. After Ash and Pikachu saved the Gym from {{TRT}}, the sisters decided to award him a Cascade Badge despite the fact he hadn't defeated Misty.
 
====[[Pokémon Chronicles]]====
Misty returned at the Cerulean Gym to officially take over in ''[[HS02|Cerulean Blues]]'', only to find that her sisters had already left the Gym with several fans, who struggled with {{TP|Misty|Gyarados}}'s rage, while they were on holiday. Misty contacted her sisters, who were enjoying a beachside vacation, in ''[[HS05|The Blue Badge of Courage]]''. Daisy informed her that she would need to go to [[Rifure Village]] to receive a supply of Cascade Badges before quickly signing off. They returned to the Gym two weeks before ''[[HS11|A Date with Delcatty]]''. However, Misty remained the official Gym Leader, with Daisy and the other sisters filling in when Misty was away.


They were continuing to neglect the Gym duties when Misty stopped by to drop off her {{TP|Misty|Starmie}} and her {{TP|Misty|Horsea}} to play at the gym in ''[[EP061|The Misty Mermaid]]''. It is unknown for how long afterward the sisters continued to do this.  
In ''[[HS16|Luvdisc is a Many Splendored Thing!]]'', Daisy appeared without her other two sisters, and proudly showed off [[Caserin and Luverin]] to {{Tracey}}. After defeating [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]], the Sensational Sisters performed in another water ballet show. However, their views of battling did not improve during this time, and in ''[[AG134|A Real Cleffa-Hanger]]'', Daisy asked Misty if they could simply give Badges to the Trainers instead of properly battling them.


In ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]'', the sisters called Misty to tell her that they had won a trip around the world. They made Misty return to Cerulean City so she could take over the role of Gym Leader for them.  
====''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]''====
[[File:Sensational Sisters Sun and Moon.png|thumb|250px|Sensational Sisters in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]'']]
After a long absence, the sisters reappeared in fantasy during the [[Poké Problem]] segment of [[SM042]], where they ditched the Gym to go on another trip, leaving Misty in charge of everything.


They returned to the gym two weeks before ''[[SS011|A Date with Delcatty]]''. However, Misty is still the official Gym Leader, with the trio filling in when Misty is away. Despite this, they still don't like battling, and in ''[[AG134|A Real Cleffa-Hanger]]'', Daisy asked Misty if they could just give Badges to the Trainers instead of battling them. It was shown that they already did give away Badges to Trainers, since {{OBP|Jimmy|AG092}}'s only Badge was the Cascade Badge, because he helped them clean the gym.
They reappeared during a fantasy in ''[[SM102|Alola, Alola!]]'', when Misty revealed that she had left the Gym under their charge during her trip to [[Alola]].


They reappeared during a fantasy in the [[Poké Problem]] segment for [[SM042]], as Misty confirmed that they had left Cerulean Gym yet again to go on another vacation much to Brock's dismay.
====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''====
They reappeared during a fantasy in ''[[JN138|A Fated Face-Off!]]'', when Misty revealed that she had left the Gym under their charge during her new journey. They appeared in another fantasy in the [[JN139|next episode]], after Cilan mentioned them when Misty references her status as the Cerulean City Gym Leader, and also alludes to their viewing Misty as the spare, much to her chagrin.

Violet, Daisy, and Lily—The Sensational Sisters (left to right)

The Sensational Sisters (Japanese: ハナダ姉妹 Hanada Water Sisters) are a group consisting of Misty's three older sisters, Daisy, Violet, and Lily. At some point before the series, the sisters were put in charge of the Cerulean Gym. However, after Gary and the other two Trainers from Pallet Town defeated them one after the other, they decided to stop accepting challenges and instead perform water ballet shows for the residents of Cerulean City. Their younger sister Misty would eventually take over their position as Gym Leader.

In the anime

History

Pre-series

When Misty left prior to Pokémon - I Choose You! to become a Water Pokémon Master, Daisy, Violet and Lily were put in charge of the Cerulean Gym.

Original series

The Sensational Sisters debuted in The Water Flowers of Cerulean City. When Ash came to the Gym to earn his Cascade Badge, they turned down his challenge. They explained that after Gary and the other two Trainers from Pallet Town defeated them consecutively, they decided to stop battling and to instead perform water shows for the residents of Cerulean City. Daisy then offered to give the Cascade Badge to Ash for free. Misty, however, appeared and challenged Ash to a battle with the Badge as a prize. After Ash and Pikachu saved the Gym from Team Rocket, the sisters decided to award him a Cascade Badge despite the fact that he hadn't defeated Misty. They wished Misty well on her personal quest, hoping that her efforts would amount to something.

Misty stopped by the Cerulean Gym to drop off her Starmie and Horsea to play there in The Misty Mermaid. Upon arriving, she realized that her sisters continued to pursue their performing ambitions and neglected the Gym, and was also enlisted in their latest play, the Underwater Ballet. Team Rocket gate-crashed the performance, and tied Lily and Violet up. While Daisy freed the pair, the sisters watched Ash and his friends battle Team Rocket underwater. Violet sent out Misty's Psyduck in a bid to defeat Team Rocket, though its fear of water made it useless and embarrassing. The show proved to be a massive hit with the crowd, who were unaware that Team Rocket's appearance was not part of the show, and the sisters' show was booked for the next six months.

In Just Add Water, Dorian, an ambitious Water expert who runs the unofficial Coastline Gym, is a big fan of the Sensational Sisters. Having met them several times, he became inspired to perform his own synchronized water shows.

In Gotta Catch Ya Later!, the sisters called Misty to tell her that they had won a trip around the world after Daisy placed third in a pageant competition. They made Misty return to Cerulean City and abandon her travels with Ash and Brock, so she could take over the role of Gym Leader during their absence.

Pokémon Chronicles

Misty returned at the Cerulean Gym to officially take over in Cerulean Blues, only to find that her sisters had already left the Gym with several fans, who struggled with Gyarados's rage, while they were on holiday. Misty contacted her sisters, who were enjoying a beachside vacation, in The Blue Badge of Courage. Daisy informed her that she would need to go to Rifure Village to receive a supply of Cascade Badges before quickly signing off. They returned to the Gym two weeks before A Date with Delcatty. However, Misty remained the official Gym Leader, with Daisy and the other sisters filling in when Misty was away.

In Luvdisc is a Many Splendored Thing!, Daisy appeared without her other two sisters, and proudly showed off Caserin and Luverin to Tracey. After defeating Butch and Cassidy, the Sensational Sisters performed in another water ballet show. However, their views of battling did not improve during this time, and in A Real Cleffa-Hanger, Daisy asked Misty if they could simply give Badges to the Trainers instead of properly battling them.
