'''Misty's Horsea''' (Japanese: '''カスミのタッツー''' ''Kasumi's Tattu'') was the fourth [[Pokémon]] acquired by [[Misty]] in the [[Kanto]] region. Its Japanese voice actress is ''Machiko Toyoshima'' and its English voice actress is [[Rachael Lillis]].

==History==
At [[Porta Vista]], [[Brock]], {{Ash}}, and Misty were trying to return to the mainland when Misty noticed an injured Horsea in the coast. The little seahorse squirted out a warning in ink that the children didn't understand. 

Later, the kids learned that a woman named [[Nastina]] was trying to build an underwater resort in the local reefs, and that her workers were being attacked by many {{p|Tentacool}}. A strange chain of events lead to the community being attacked by a gigantic {{p|Tentacruel}}, who was angry at the humans demolishing the reef. Horsea and Misty's pleading saved the city.

Much later, near the end of the [[Kanto]] adventures, Horsea was feeling ill because Misty wasn't letting it out enough to get any exercise. With no ocean nearby, Misty decided to take it home to [[Cerulean City]], where it could play and swim in her Gym's many aquariums. After participating in a water ballet, Misty left Horsea and her {{TP|Misty|Starmie}} in the care of her sisters.

Later, Misty reclaimed Horsea and Starmie when her travels in [[Johto]] were finished and she became Cerulean's [[Gym Leader]].

Horsea, like {{TP|Misty|Goldeen}}, has trouble functioning on land, so she didn't use it much in her adventures. However, when it was used, it tended to be very resourceful - using ink to draw pictures or leave trails.

==Trivia==
*If one takes into consideration that Misty referred to Horsea as a male in its introduction, then Horsea would be considered the first Pokémon owned by a main character to have its gender confirmed.
