Misty

Misty (カスミ, Kasumi in original Japanese language versions) is the Cerulean City Gym Leader and is one of the Pokémon Anime (TV series) main characters.

She travels with the main character, Ash Ketchum in almost every Pokémon Episode up to Hoenn, in which she has been replaced with May or Dawn, though she sometimes shows up even in these episodes with May or Dawn. She's the first with Togepi in the Anime. She constantly watches over Ash and Brock, her companions, because they have a tendency to get into trouble.

Misty is commonly seen with Pokemon such as Togepi, Goldeen, and Horsea, seeing as she is a Water Type Gym Leader. Because of this, 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.

Her costumes in the video games often refer to this fact, as in Pokemon Blue, Pokemon Red, Pokemon FireRed, and Pokemon LeafGreen she is either wearing a swimsuit or bikini of some sort.

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.
