The '''Cerulean Gym''' (Japanese: '''ハナダジム''' ''Hanada Gym'') is the official [[Gym]] of [[Cerulean City]]. It is based on {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. The [[Gym Leader]] is [[Misty]]. {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat her receive the {{Badge|Cascade}}.  

Other known members include {{tc|Swimmer}}s Briana, Parker, Diana, and Luis, {{tc|Picnicker}} Diana, and Misty's sisters {{an|Daisy}}, {{ka|Lily}}, and [[Violet]], who were the Gym Leaders together in the {{pkmn|anime}} until the {{series|Advanced Generation}}.

{{sign|RBY|title|Cerulean City}}  

In Generations {{gen|I}}, {{gen|II}}, and {{gen|III}}, the Cerulean Gym is designed like an indoor swimming pool, with platforms above the water for the {{player}} to walk on. In [[Generation IV]], the Gym consists of a large pool roped off into lanes with certain parts of the area circling the pool blocked. There are no puzzles to solve in this Gym.

In Generations II and IV, Misty isn't initially at the Gym. After the problem at the {{FB|Kanto|Power Plant}} has been fixed, she can be found at [[Kanto Route 25|Cerulean Cape]], having a date with her boyfriend. After her boyfriend is scared away by the player's arrival, Misty will at first be angry at the player for ruining her date, but will then return to the Gym, allowing it to be challenged.

A field based on the Gym also appears in {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}}'s [[Gym Leader Castle]] and {{pkmn|Stadium 2}}'s Kanto Gym Leader Castle.

===In the main series===

Cerulean Gym has appeared in several episodes of the {{pkmn|anime}}. On the exterior, the building is a dome-shaped brightly colored Gym with a gigantic painting of a {{p|Dewgong}} on top of it. On the inside, the gym is equipped with a large aquarium and swimming pool.

[[File:Cerulean Gym Field.png|175px|left|thumb|Another view of the battlefield]]

It first appeared in ''[[EP007|The Water Flowers of Cerulean City]]''. {{Ash}} was heading there so he could earn his {{Badge|Cascade}}. Misty kept telling him not to go to Cerulean, and he soon discovered why she tried to stop him; her three sisters, [[Violet]], {{ka|Lily}} and {{an|Daisy}}, were the Gym Leaders. However, they had turned the battlefield into a performance hall for their water acrobatics shows. Incapable of giving Ash a proper Gym battle, they were about to simply give Ash the Badge when Misty intervened. She challenged Ash to a battle in her capacity as an official Gym Leader, but it was interrupted by {{TRT}}. In the end, Daisy gave Ash the Cascade Badge, saying that if it weren't for him, the Gym would have been destroyed.

The Gym's next appearance was in ''[[EP061|The Misty Mermaid]]''. While on the way to the [[Viridian Gym]], [[Misty's Horsea]] had become sick. Realizing the Gym was nearby, Misty decided to go and see if they could make Horsea feel better. The Dragon Pokémon felt better immediately. However, the sisters made Misty participate in one of their water ballet shows. During a Team Rocket battle, the {{p|Seel}} the Sensational Sisters had in their first appearance evolved into {{OBP|Dewgong|Cerulean Gym}} and saved the Gym. Before leaving, Misty left her Horsea and {{TP|Misty|Starmie}} at the Gym, hoping one day to come back for them.

The Gym also played key roles in several [[Pokémon Chronicles]] episodes. In ''[[SS002|Cerulean Blues]]'', the Gym was in danger of being shut down. Misty, who was recently named Gym Leader after her sisters won a trip around the world, was successfully able to fix it up and stop it from getting shut down. In the process, she earned a Gym {{TP|Misty|Gyarados}}'s trust. In ''[[SS005|The Blue Badge of Courage]]'', [[Sakura]] challenged Misty to a Gym battle and won her own Cascade Badge. {{an|Casey}} visited the Gym in ''[[SS011|A Date with Delcatty]]'', and Misty and Daisy's two {{p|Luvdisc}}, [[Caserin and Luverin]], were stolen by [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]] in ''[[SS016|Luvdisc is a Many Splendored Thing]]''.

===In Pokémon Origins===

Cerulean Gym was briefly seen in the [[Pokémon Origins]] episode ''[[PO02|File 2 - Cubone]]'', when {{OBP|Red|Origins}} recalled of having a tough battle with Misty, but eventually emerging victorious, thus earning the {{badge|Cascade}}.

{{right clear}}

===In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga===

The Cerulean Gym debuted in ''[[PS008|Suddenly Starmie!]]'', where {{adv|Red}} and [[Misty]] trained together for a few days to improve their skills in order to fight [[Team Rocket]]. After the training was complete, Misty gave Red a {{badge|Cascade}}.

These are the Pokémon shown in the Gym.

===In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga===

[[File:Cerulean Gym PM.png|thumb|200px|Cerulean Gym in Pokémon Pocket Monsters]]

In [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]], the Cerulean Gym only appeared in ''[[PM004|Obtain the Moon Stone!!]]'' where {{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}} and his Pokémon fought Misty in order to obtain the {{evostone|Moon Stone}} she had with her. In the manga, the Cerulean Gym is depicted in a very traditional Japanese architectural style.

The Cerulean Gym was featured in the TCG as both a Japan exclusive {{TCG|Hanada City Gym|Theme Deck}} and as a card. The following is a list of cards named '''Cerulean City Gym'''.

{{cardlist/footer|Trainer}}

* Prior to {{game|Crystal}}, it was possible to catch wild Pokémon inside the Gym by fishing in the water. This makes the Cerulean Gym the only Gym where it is possible to catch wild Pokémon inside the facility itself.

** Similarly, [[Lorelei]]'s room at [[Indigo Plateau]] in Generation I is the only [[Elite Four]] member's room where it is possible to catch wild Pokémon.

* In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, if the player brings a {{p|Togepi}} inside the Gym, it may begin to cry softly when the player talks to it. This is a reference to [[Misty's Togepi]] in the anime.

* In Generation II, it is possible for the player to pick up the {{key|II|Machine Part}} from the Gym before learning of its location from the {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}} on {{rt|24|Kanto}}. This is no longer the case in [[Generation IV]], where the player must defeat the Grunt in a battle in order to make the {{key|VI|Machine Part}} obtainable.
