'''''Splashdown in Cerulean City''''' is the seventh book of the [[Pokémon anime novelization series|adaptation of the Pokémon anime]]. It was published by [[Scholastic]] and is 87 pages in length.

It is based on the events of the {{pkmn|anime}} episodes ''[[EP007|The Water Flowers of Cerulean City]]'', ''[[EP052|Princess vs. Princess]]'', and ''[[EP061|The Misty Mermaid]]''.

Upon arrival to Cerulean City, Misty goes to the Gym and, after a performance by her sisters for an audience, sees Ash and Pikachu walk up and request a battle. [[Lily (Kanto)|Lily]], {{an|Violet}}, and {{an|Daisy}} say that they only have one Pokémon left because their others were at the [[Pokémon Center]]. As they try to give him the [[Cascade Badge]] as a gift, Misty runs down and challenges Ash to a battle, telling him that she is the fourth "Sensational Sister" and also a Gym Leader. Ash accepts her challenge, sending out [[Ash's Butterfree|Butterfree]] to battle [[Misty's Staryu]]. Staryu wins, and Ash sends out [[Ash's Pidgeot|Pidgeotto]] to battle [[Misty's Starmie|Starmie]]. Just as it seems that Pidgeotto will come out victorious, winning Ash his Cascade Badge, {{TRT}} breaks into the Gym to steal the {{type|Water}} Pokémon living there. Ash saves the day and, even though the Gym battle was never completed, Misty's sisters gave Ash his [[Badge]] because he helped their Pokémon and he, Misty, and Brock depart.
