Pokémon Inspection Agency

The Pokémon Inspection Agency, or PIA for short, is an agency that inspects Pokémon gyms.

The agency appeared in Cerulean Blues, where a TV report shows they have recently shut down four gyms in less than a month. One agent said that they would shut down any gym that was "unsafe, unclean, or uncool". Upon hearing a rumor that the PIA was headed for the Cerulean Gym, Misty rushed back as fast as she could, fearing that the PIA might beat her there.

Later on in the episode, a Nurse Joy that was helping Misty calm a rampaging Gyarados revealed herself as a PIA agent when she gave the Cerulean Gym a passing grade for its inspection.
