wanna know the biggest reason i think your idea is wrong? because if Haruka was Misty, then why was Haruka so edgy when using Mudkip? if it was Misty, she would have chosen Mudkip over Torchic anyday. and before you say she didnt want to give her disguise away, then that would imply every anime girl (they follow the same facial structure. what sets them apart is their hair [style] or their voice [pitch]) that had a water Pokemon could well be Misty.
Didn't I already explain that post-Togepi Misty probably would have chosen Torchic, too? Haruka wasn't at fault with Mudkip, Mudkip sprayed her in the face! If I loved Fire Pokemon, but one decided it would be nice to have a Mew2Too barbeque, that would shake me up a little, too. Why would one expect Misty or anyone else to react casually if a Mudkip doused her? I've never seen any of her own Pokemon do that before. (Totodile may have, yet Misty was happy enough with her fresh-evolved Poliwhirl that she surrendered Totodile to Ash.)

Atleast I hope not. She hasn't shown any affection towards Ash has she? If she does then I would start getting suspicious.
Oh. Yeah. Way. In. Hell.

I noticed that Haruka acted that same sorrowful way towards Ash. Maybe the gesture of her forgiveness and subsequent travel with Ash was just a plutonic gesture. Yet, I just get uncomfortable every time I see Haruka giving Ash that look! That look just said, "Ah, he's not so bad!" That was the exact same look that Misty was always giving Ash before she started getting all soft over him. *shivers*

2. The "Revenge" battle in the Misty special is against the three bullies who Misty, Brock and Ash defeated in the episode Misty left. They do vie for leadership of the gym but continually cheat (sending three Tenacruel against one of her Pokemon). When Misty protects the till then belligerent Gyarados, it sends the punks on their way. We also find out why Misty doesn't like Gyarados (traumatic childhood experience). The Inspector turns out to be the Nurse Joy from wayyyyyyyyyyy back in the Yaz and Kaz gyms episode of Kanto. Misty passes the examination with flying colors. As the Joy leaves she tells her something like that if she ever happens across Ash to tell him that she's doing just fine. Not the slightest indication that she would leave the gym.
Oh, God! I sure hope your source of info is wrong. If it isn't, this is just horrific! Misty might never return with good reason unless the fans start an angry mob outside of TV Tokyo's building. Yuyama-san, what to hell are your thinking? There are already as many "Bring Back Misty" people as there were "Bring Back Brock" people! I hope he didn't think he could get away with this scott-free without a hulibaloo from fans.
