Throughout the history of the Pokémon anime franchise, the main character Ash Ketchum has had many companions on his journey. However, Misty has always been the first and most iconic female companion of Ash in the Pokémon world. Initially, Misty traveled with Ash because he accidentally damaged her bike, and she insisted on following him until he could repay her for the bike.
As a result, this orange-haired girl has garnered a significant fan base, often referred to as the “first waifu” by many fans. According to reports, the news of Misty’s return has created quite a buzz among the most devoted Pokémon enthusiasts.


The reunion of Ash Ketchum and Misty takes place in the second episode of the special anime series Pokémon: Aim to Be a Pokémon Master. Although this anime is relatively short-lived, it serves as a complete conclusion to Ash Ketchum’s adventures. Moreover, Misty’s return has genuinely surprised viewers, and her thoughts have quickly spread across various platforms.
– Let’s face it, Misty will always be Ash’s first waifu.
– I’m crying because I’ve always been a loyal supporter of this couple!
– Since I was little, Misty has been my waifu, and I will always be by her side.
– In fact, being the first will always be the best.
– The height difference is quite charming, much better than before.
– Has Ash returned Misty’s bike yet? Over twenty years have passed already.
– I couldn’t help but shed a tear when I saw the two interact again.
– They even used the same background music reminiscent of the original series.

The dialogue exchange between Misty and Ash during their reunion after all these years goes as follows:
– Misty: I’m watching TV, Champion! Congratulations!
– Ash: Thank you, friend!
– Misty: When I saw your matches, I couldn’t sit still! I handed over the Cerulean Gym to my sisters, and I’m ready to start a new adventure!
