In made it first appearance in TB007: The Water Flowers of Cerulean City where Misty is dead set against going to Cerulean afraid that if Ash, Pikachu and Brock found out about her sisters, they would laugh at her. When Ash found out that Misty is one of the gym leaders they had a battle but it was interrupted by Team Rocket. After the chaos was dealt with and Ash got the badge as a way of thanking him for defending their gym they head back on the road. It made another appearance in TB061: The Misty Mermaid where Ash, Misty and Brock made a detour there so Misty's Horsea can swim at. However once they get there Misty sisters decided to put on a water ballet where Misty is the star. After the show was over they head back on the road which Misty decided to leave her Horsea and Starmie at the gym so her sisters can have more Pokémon for there shows.
