Gyarados first appeared as a Magikarp in The Misty Mermaid. Magikarp was one of the Pokémon that participated in the Cerulean Gym's water ballet show that Misty was featured in. | |||
When Misty returned to Cerulean City to fill in for her sisters as the gym leader, she found out that a newly-evolved Gyarados was on a rampage at the gym. Even worse, PIA inspectors were ready to condemn the gym if there was no leader to keep Gyarados under control. Panicking, Misty tried many attempts to stop it, including a reenactment of the water ballet show Gyarados participated in as a Magikarp. When none of these calming methods worked, Misty resorted to locking it in a cage. However, after the [[Invincible Pokémon Brothers]] had an unfair battle with Misty, they got their {{p|Tentacruel}} to attack it with {{m|Poison Sting}}. Misty then took the attack for Gyarados, causing Gyarados to earn her trust. Calmed, it finally allowed her to return it to its [[Poké Ball]]. | |||
Gyarados was officially a Gym Pokémon, | The use of Gyarados is significant as Misty had been afraid of the species up until this point. This came from a traumatic event in her childhood when she had crawled into the mouth of a sleeping Gyarados and was almost swallowed by it. | ||
Gyarados is officially a Gym Pokémon, and is thus not solely in Misty's custody. However, she has been seen using it the most. In [[AG045|A Togepi Mirage!]], when Misty visited Ash in Hoenn, she used Gyarados to defeat Colonel Hansen's Shedinja with Flamethrower. It also appeared briefly in [[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]], where Misty used it to battle against Dr. Yung's Mirage Mewtwo, which, however, was way too strong for the Atrocious Pokémon. | |||
