Misty
Misty (Japanese: カスミ Kasumi, lit. "mist") is the Gym Leader of Cerulean City. Trainers who defeat her receive the Cascade Badge. She is a swimmer who specializes in Water-type Pokémon.
In the Anime
Misty travelled around with Ash, Brock, and Tracey through the Kanto region, Orange Islands, and Johto region. After Ash was done in Johto, though, she returned to Cerulean to watch the Gym while her sisters, Daisy, Lily, and Violet, went on a world tour. Misty used to hate Gyarados because of a traumatic experience as a child, but now she's okay with them.
In the manga series Pokémon Special, Misty was the partner of Suicune in the battle against Team Rocket in Johto. She seems to have a crush on Red. This is distinct from Misty's believed crush on Ash in the Pokémon anime, and in other manga.
She is voiced by 飯塚雅弓 Mayumi Iizuka in Japanese, and by Rachael Lillis in the English dub.

In the Pokémon Special Manga
Misty is one of the heroic Gym Leaders in Pokémon Special. She met Red while attempting to rescue her Gyarados from Koga of Team Rocket.
Red saved Misty's Gyarados, and Misty and Red ended up spending a lot of time together. Red eventually left, although Misty asked him to stay and train some more.
Red wanted to teach his Pokémon Surf, but the TM he tried to acquire was destroyed. So Misty traded him her Gyarados for Red's Krabby. Red still has Misty's Gyarados in his party to this day.
In Johto, during the second Team Rocket crisis, Suicune chose Misty to be its partner.
In Pokémon Special, Misty lives in a large mansion and is looked after by a hoarde of maids.
