The '''Sensational Sisters''' (Japanese: '''ハナダ{{tt|水|みず}}{{tt|姉妹|しまい}}''' ''[[Cerulean City|Hanada]] Water Sisters'') are a group consisting of {{an|Misty}}'s three older sisters, {{an|Daisy}}, {{an|Violet}}, and {{ka|Lily}}. At some point before the series, the sisters were put in charge of the [[Cerulean Gym]]. However, after {{Gary}} and the other two {{pkmn|Trainer}}s from [[Pallet Town]] defeated them one after the other, they decided to stop accepting challenges and instead perform water ballet shows for the residents of [[Cerulean City]]. Their younger sister {{an|Misty}} would eventually take over their position as the primary [[Gym Leader]], although she would continue to leave the Gym under their charge whenever she isn't present. | |||
==In the anime== | |||
===History=== | |||
====Pre-series==== | |||
When {{an|Misty}} left prior to ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'' to become a {{t|Water}} [[Pokémon Master]], {{an|Daisy}}, {{an|Violet}} and {{ka|Lily}} were put in charge of the [[Cerulean Gym]]. | |||
====[[Original series]]==== | |||
The Sensational Sisters debuted in ''[[EP007|The Water Flowers of Cerulean City]]''. When {{Ash}} came to the [[Cerulean Gym|Gym]] to earn his {{Badge|Cascade}}, they turned down his challenge. They explained that after {{Gary}} and the other two {{pkmn|Trainer}}s from [[Pallet Town]] defeated them consecutively, they decided to stop battling and to instead perform water shows for the residents of [[Cerulean City]]. {{an|Daisy}} then offered to give the Cascade Badge to Ash for free. Misty, however, appeared and challenged Ash to a battle with the Badge as a prize. After Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}} saved the Gym from {{TRT}}, the sisters decided to award him a Cascade Badge despite the fact that he hadn't defeated Misty. They wished Misty well on her personal quest, hoping that her efforts would amount to something. | |||
Misty stopped by the Cerulean Gym to drop off her {{TP|Misty|Starmie}} and {{TP|Misty|Horsea}} to play there in ''[[EP061|The Misty Mermaid]]''. Upon arriving, she realized that her sisters continued to pursue their performing ambitions and neglected the Gym, and was also enlisted in their latest play, the Underwater Ballet. Team Rocket gate-crashed the performance, and tied Lily and Violet up. While Daisy freed the pair, the sisters watched Ash and {{ashfr}} battle Team Rocket underwater. Violet sent out [[Misty's Psyduck]] in a bid to defeat Team Rocket, though its fear of water made it useless and embarrassing. The show proved to be a massive hit with the crowd, who were unaware that Team Rocket's appearance was not part of the show, and the sisters' show was booked for the next six months. | |||
In ''[[EP256|Just Add Water]]'', [[Dorian]], an ambitious Water expert who runs the unofficial [[Coastline Gym]], is a big fan of the Sensational Sisters. Having met them several times, he became inspired to perform his own synchronized water shows. | |||
In ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]'', the sisters called Misty to tell her that they had won a trip around the world after Daisy placed third in a pageant competition. They made Misty return to Cerulean City and abandon her travels with Ash and {{an|Brock}}, so she could take over the role of Gym Leader during their absence. | |||
====[[Pokémon Chronicles]]==== | |||
Misty returned at the Cerulean Gym to officially take over in ''[[HS02|Cerulean Blues]]'', only to find that her sisters had already left the Gym with several fans, who struggled with {{TP|Misty|Gyarados}}'s rage, while they were on holiday. Misty contacted her sisters, who were enjoying a beachside vacation, in ''[[HS05|The Blue Badge of Courage]]''. Daisy informed her that she would need to go to [[Rifure Village]] to receive a supply of Cascade Badges before quickly signing off. They returned to the Gym two weeks before ''[[HS11|A Date with Delcatty]]''. However, Misty remained the official Gym Leader, with Daisy and the other sisters filling in when Misty was away. | |||
In ''[[HS16|Luvdisc is a Many Splendored Thing!]]'', Daisy appeared without her other two sisters, and proudly showed off [[Caserin and Luverin]] to {{Tracey}}. After defeating [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]], the Sensational Sisters performed in another water ballet show. However, their views of battling did not improve during this time, and in ''[[AG134|A Real Cleffa-Hanger]]'', Daisy asked Misty if they could simply give Badges to the Trainers instead of properly battling them. | |||
====''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]''==== | |||
[[File:Sensational Sisters Sun and Moon.png|thumb|250px|Sensational Sisters in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]'']] | |||
After a long absence, the sisters reappeared in fantasy during the [[Poké Problem]] segment of [[SM042]], where they ditched the Gym to go on another trip, leaving Misty in charge of everything. | |||
They reappeared during a fantasy in ''[[SM102|Alola, Alola!]]'', when Misty revealed that she had left the Gym under their charge during her trip to [[Alola]]. | |||

They reappeared during a fantasy in ''[[JN138|A Fated Face-Off!]]'', when Misty revealed that she had left the Gym under their charge during her new journey.

The Sensational Sisters (Japanese: ハナダ水姉妹 Hanada Water Sisters) are a group consisting of Misty's three older sisters, Daisy, Violet, and Lily. At some point before the series, the sisters were put in charge of the Cerulean Gym. However, after Gary and the other two Trainers from Pallet Town defeated them one after the other, they decided to stop accepting challenges and instead perform water ballet shows for the residents of Cerulean City. Their younger sister Misty would eventually take over their position as the primary Gym Leader, although she would continue to leave the Gym under their charge whenever she isn't present.

Daisy then offered to give the Cascade Badge to Ash for free. Misty, however, appeared and challenged Ash to a battle with the Badge as a prize. After Ash and Pikachu saved the Gym from Team Rocket, the sisters decided to award him a Cascade Badge despite the fact that he hadn't defeated Misty.
