Angelica was the eldest member of the original Indigo League that formed in 1946. She was also the first trainer ever to be inducted into the Hall of Fame.

Information of this all-time great is limited, due to her short reign in an era of limited technology. The information we have gathered, however, is put together here.

Angelica was a battle-hardened woman who became experienced in various martial arts across her life, including the Unovian Kickboxing techniques that were around at the time. As a result, Angelica embraced the Fighting types with a fiery passion. She hailed from the Sevii Islands, far from the mainland of Kanto. She grew up on a farm, which lay at the base of a volcano. A tropical setting indeed.

"Beautiful. That was the place's true name. Perhaps even Heaven. The weather was just right, not too hot and not too cold. The volcano was dormant, but still provided a sense of something towering over you like skyscrapers in big cities. The Wingulls screeched cheerfully overhead, while occasional Wailord spouts shot up from beneath the ocean's surface. I am blessed to have seen the place."

Angelica, at the age of 18, left the Sevii Islands for the Kanto region upon hearing of a dojo in Saffron City. She came off the boat in Vermillion City, but never left. With no parents or family with her, Angelica adored the scenery of Vermillion without interruption and settled down there. She was captivated by the ocean. However, she'd never embrace the Water type in Pokemon for sentimental reasons, she was too attached to her childhood Pokemon.

What of Indigo Misaka? How did he find this woman? Let the information be known that Angelica's full name was Angelica Ephraim Misaka. Yes, they are related. Indigo was Angelica's nephew. Despite this, the two did not speak much. They spoke during the holidays mostly, where Misaka would visit and sit by the fireplace as Angelica told story after story.

"It captivated me to hear stories of this island I have never even visited... She was always stoic in her stories, but it soon made me feel better about my busy schedule, because I knew if I braved it out, I could return to her and listen to another one of those stories."

In 1946, it was the month of June where Indigo had to pick the rest of the gym leaders that would be taking part in his new league. Indigo's main goal was to have a variety of gym leaders in terms of age. Indigo gave marketing his reason for this. "If the people of the league are a variety, it'll attract more audiences. It'll help people find someone they can relate to and be a fan of." He once said.

At 59 years old, Angelica became the most highly regarded out of the eight gym leaders in the young league. The younger leaders looked up to her as a motherly figure. Angelica was also someone elders adored, which indicated that Indigo's genius marketing plan was working.

Through 1945-1947, before she even entered the league, Angelica won the Kanto Woman of the Year award from the humanitarian program in Saffron City University. In 1947, she also was voted by the Vermillion townsfolk as the greatest person in the city's history. Angelica still holds a record as the only person from the Sevii Islands to hold a gym leader position within the Indigo League.

Angelica was known by townsfolk as being very good with children. She'd invite the locals to send their children to a grassy area in the northeast of town, where they would sit in a circle while Angelica spoke of stories that were on her mind. The kids adored it, and remembered it as a core part of their childhood.

With the help of her nephew, Angelica established a healthy trading port within Vermillion City. With the importing and exporting of goods on a daily basis, the economy of both Vermillion and nearby Saffron flourished.

Angelica was also known for her stamina at such an old age. She would still take hikes or jogs while well into her sixties. She holds a still-standing league record for the longest battle in Kanto league history at 67 minutes. Long battles were common for Angelica, who used a "war of attrition" approach to her battles. She would stall and grind you out, while still delivering powerful striking blows with her powerful Fighting types. The only battle, for reference and comparison, that came second in length was Red vs. Champion Blue in 2008 at 25 minutes.

After retiring in 1959, at the age of 70, with one championship under her belt(1955), Angelica remained in Vermillion for the rest of her life. She mentored her successor, Courtney, a young girl at the age of 13. She mentored Courtney for three years until 1962, where she moved on to coach the Vermillion Chiefs battling team of the still-developing Vermillion State University for the next ten years. In 1968, the Chiefs reached the playoffs for the first time in team history.

In 1970, Angelica founded the "Rainbow Circuit", a summer tournament that allowed spectators from far and wide to watch retired gym leaders from around the world battle it out.

In 1975, Angelica passed away at the age of 86. The news came as a shock to the Kanto populace, since Angelica was very healthy for her age. The medical examiner even declared that Angelica could've reached the age of 100 based on how healthy her body was. Further examining showed that the true cause of death was in fact, cancer.

When funds for Angelica's funeral were little to none from her immediate family, both Indigo and League Champion Eldora paid for it in full. Soon after, gym leaders Bernarda and Gil lobbied for better support of former league members.

"I can not believe that one of the greatest people I was blessed to meet is, in death, treated like a peasant! It is an outrage that should be looked down upon! We must have better support for our former members in the future."

Indigo Misaka later founded the Retired Battlers Association, or RBA, to help fund and support former league members in the future. Angelica was buried soon after in a grave on an elevated piece of land that overlooks the sea, not far from Vermillion.

Some say her legacy still lives on. The uniforms of the Vermillion Chiefs now have a boxing glove patch on the left shoulder. For tradition's sake, Vermillion still has story-tellings every afternoon for the children in town. The stories are always told by an elder.

And they do say that Indigo's great granddaughter, Maylene, takes after Angelica herself...
