Sensational Sisters
The Sensational Sisters are a group consisting of Misty's three older sisters, Lily, Daisy and Violet. When Misty left to become a Template:Type2 Pokémon master, 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 battle-challenges and instead perform water ballet shows for the residents of Cerulean City.
In the anime
They first appeared in the episode The Water Flowers of Cerulean City. When Ash came to the Gym to earn his Cascade Badge, he, with his Pikachu and Brock, were surprised to find that instead of a battle, a show was going on where the sisters were performing. At the end of the show, Ash found them out and asked them about the Gym Leader. They informed him that they were the Gym Leaders, but as their Pokémon were tired, they no longer battled. Daisy then offered to give away the Cascade Badge to Ash for nothing. Misty however appeared just then and challenged Ash to a battle to win the badge.
They were continuing to neglect the Gym duties when Misty stopped by to drop off her Starmie and her Horsea to play at the gym in The Misty Mermaid. It is unknown for how long afterwards the sisters continued to do this.
In Gotta Catch Ya Later!, the sisters called Misty to tell her that they had won a trip around the world. They made Misty return to Cerulean City so she could take over the role of Gym Leader for them.
They returned to the gym two weeks before A Date with Delcatty. However, Misty is still the official Gym Leader, with the trio filling in when Misty is away. Despite this, they still don't like battling, and in A Real Cleffa-Hanger, Daisy asked Misty if they could just give badges to the trainers instead of battling them. It was shown that they already did give away badges to Trainers, since Jimmy's only badge was the Cascade Badge, because he helped them clean the gym.
