Togetic explains how it has to leave Misty in order to protect the Togepi Paradise

Definitely one of the saddest moments in the Pokémon anime.

It’s Misty’s turn to do the job of savior

She's got that serious look and a firm grasp on her Poké Ball.

Team Rocket looks up to nefarious Colonel Hansen and his Pokémon for obvious reasons

They also feel threatened by them.

Misty doesn’t break a sweat when she pulls Brock’s ear

But everyone else does because of how awkward they feel for Brock.

Misty will gladly pull Brock’s ear, even if she’s in the presence of royalty

He shouldn't have tried flirting with Princess Sara.

Brock’s shoe got to meet Princess Sara face to face

But Brock's face was busy getting pulled away by Misty.

How could Misty be a Water-type Gym Leader if she reacts this way to a small spatter?

It probably took her by surprise.

Misty seems to be way more worried than May, Max and Togepi altogether

What could've Ash possibly done this time?
