* ''Anime/PokemonTheSeries'': From the very beginning, [[RookieMaleExperiencedFemale Ash Ketchum and Misty]] have butted heads over Pokémon training, especially when it comes to Pokémon battles. This isn't helped by the fact that Misty is revealed to be a Gym Leader in training and the runt of her more popular sisters, which puts her closer to Ash's level of skill and experience than she would like to admit. Naturally, whenever they actually do battle each other, they're on equal footing and the series ensures neither gets the upper hand in the long run.
** In the Cerulean Gym battle, their match is 1-1 when Team Rocket suddenly appears out of nowhere and tries to steal all of the Pokémon with their water vacuum. After Ash thwarts their attempt with Pikachu, Misty's sisters end up giving him the Cascade Badge as a reward for stopping Team Rocket, negating the need for Ash and Misty to resume their match, much to Misty's dismay.
** In their future battles that don't get interrupted, the series seems to subvert it by having Ash decisively win the match against Misty when he uses Grass-type Pokémon and Pikachu against her. But then it gets double-subverted in their next match, Misty defeats Ash with relatively ease (which incidentally has Ash use a Water-type Pokémon instead of his usual type advantages), ensuring that the battle scoreboard is always even.
