Go Back

Misty would keep her position as a Gym Leader for a couple years after parting ways with Ash. Even with her sisters around it was hard for them to take the control away from Misty’s hands, who took the role much more seriously than any of them.

At first a blessing for the Sensational Sisters, who took the chance to travel into their own pokemon journeys and do the things they never had the chance before. However, they would soon notice how the weight of managing the gym was taking a toll on their little sister and at Daisy’s suggestion Misty would go out on a journey of her own again during her teenage years. When she came back, she was met with the gym completely renewed in both aesthetics and style, with her sisters implementing contest combinations into their battles and thus creating shows even when they were not doing their theater presentations. As well as a proposal to join Kanto’s Elite Four.

With Lorelei stepping down from her position, PIA’s Inspector Joy recommended Misty for the role and after some consideration, Misty accepted the position as a water type specialist — a dream come true for the girl who dreamed of becoming a Water Pokemon Master.

This doesn’t mean Misty can’t ever be found in her hometown as she is always being invited as guest star in aquatic shows that still take place in Cerulean Gym from time to time.

With his graduation came the opportunity to work as a resident all around the world. And during one of those residency trainings, Brock found himself rescuing a Pokemon Ranger under the guidance of the Nurse Joy that supervised him. Being attacked by poachers and pinchers, Brock decided to escort the Ranger and their partner to their mission while helping in any way he could. In the end, his selflessness and previous encounters with other Rangers earned him a visit to the Ranger Union.

Brock didn’t feel eager to jump into one school after just finishing another but the visit made him realize that Pokemon Rangers were capable of helping wild pokemon in ways a simple Doctor never could. And when he was offered the chance to participate in a test that would grant him a Capture Styler and Ranger License without having to go through the Ranger School, he immediately took it.

Successful, Brock now brandishes a Capture Styler with him, which is often used to capture and calm down wild or violent pokemon when he needs the extra help to be able to provide them treatment.

With Brock’s goal nowadays being to support pokemon with or without trainers anywhere he goes, he focuses on traveling the world to make sure his knowledge as both a Doctor and a Ranger is well utilized. However sometimes he will be diverted from his path because of a certain someone he always ends up meeting on his quests.

If you asked him what he wanted to learn about pokemon, his answer would be a simple “everything”. But that’s easier said than done; after all, what should one research in order to learn all about pokemon?

That doubt led Gary to try even more out of pocket studies. Researching about Titan Pokemon from Paldea, about the Illumina Pokemon from Lental and even going as far as participating in gym matches again in Galar because there were things he could only ever learn about in battles. There were just too many splitting roads for him to choose from.

Unable to choose, Gary would eventually find his way back home, where he would settle as Oak’s assistant just like Tracey. It was easier to be told what to do and just follow in his grandfather’s steps but that didn’t make Gary happy. Not nearly as much as traveling the world and seeing the wild pokemon of legends in their natural environment. But what was he supposed to do? Aim for an unobtainable goal of learning everything about pokemon?

“So what? You’re just giving up because it is hard?” where the words from his childhood friend when he discovered Gary was accommodating instead of pushing towards his dream. After the wake up call from a friend with dreams even larger than his, Gary understood that he didn’t need to choose. That if he learned about Pokemon and their origins he would be able to learn about the creatures in their entirety.

The 3 Majesties —a moniker chosen by their fans— had a rocky start with Zoey and Serena’s contrasting styles and personalities, with May unwillingly taking the role of conciliator between them. Those dynamics would extend to their shows, where May would take center stage as a fan favorite while Serena and Zoey supported her from the sidelines.

Once their popularity rose and the girls started working better as a team, they would be able to alter their formation so their shows always looked cohesive independent of their pokemon’s choices, becoming the most commendable Idol group in coordination in recent years.
