Brief history: Misty and Ash first encountered each other under strange circumstances. Ash was trying to rush Pikachu to the Pokémon Center in Viridian City. In the process, he took off with Misty's bike. Misty would catch up with him and demand remittance for the bike... which got wrecked. Just to make sure Ash pays her back for the bike, she decides to go along with him (to Ash's dismay). Still, they become good friends during their adventures together, and the broken-bike really just becomes an excuse.

Misty parted ways with the boys and has been the Cerulean Gym Leader for several years.
