It was also known that he trained with [[Bruno]] of Kanto/Johto's Elite Four in the past. His specialty was direct physical attacks, and he often made metaphorical comparisons to ocean waves going as far as to refer to himself as the "next big wave in training". He has also subjected himself to training in the waves near Dewford and the dark Granite Cave. His gym was constructed in the manner of a maze that was kept dark, mimicking the conditions of the Granite Cave, with only a small light surrounding a challenging trainer that grew with each enemy trainer that was defeated. e also often made metaphorical comparisons to waves. |

He told the challenger that they had made a much bigger splash than he had expected and awarded them with the Knuckle Badge as well as TM 08: Bulk Up, foreseeing a bright future for the young trainer. In ''Emerald'', he closed his gym for some time while undergoing retraining; when he reopened later, he would challenge the trainer to several rematches through the Match Call feature. Brawly also stated that he never got tired of battling them. In ''Omega Ruby''/''Alpha Sapphire'', he was impressed when the trainer managed to defeat the champion [[Steven Stone]], and he also became [[Chaz]]'s mentor in strength training. |

| − | *Brawly appeared in three episodes of the | + | *Brawly appeared in three episodes of the Pokémon anime, with a ten episode gap between the first two appearances. In the first episode, [[Red#Ash Ketchum|Ash]] had underestimated Brawly and thought him irresponsible because of the time he spent surfing, until it turned out to actually be part of Brawly's training, and he defeated Ash. In Brawly's two-part reappearance, Ash successfully defeated Brawly's star pupil, which led Brawly to accept Ash's challenge to a rematch, and this time Ash won. In this version, he was also connected to a different Fighting-type trainer from a past generation, as he was said to have trained under [[Chuck]]. |
*Brawly appears in several chapters of the ''Pokémon Adventures'' manga, where he utilizes a fighting style similar to surfing on waves. [[May|Sapphire]] comes to challenge him to a gym battle, which Brawly is eager to accept due to knowing that his [[Makuhita]] will evolve soon. Sapphire is able to figure that out, however, and plans a strategy which is successful in defeating his Makuhita. He later appears at the gym leaders' meeting where he initially supports [[Team Aqua]] because their expansion of the sea would give him more waves to surf on. He is part of the team sent to battle [[Groudon]] later on, although he winds up being caught in a battle with [[Team Magma]] member Mack. He is shown to have trained with Bruno and utilizes Bruno's fighting style against the illusions Mack creates, but ultimately both are too tired from the battle to continue on fighting. He returns in the ''Omega Ruby''/''Alpha Sapphire'' arc, where he helps with the effort to stop Grand Meteor Delta. | *Brawly appears in several chapters of the ''Pokémon Adventures'' manga, where he utilizes a fighting style similar to surfing on waves.
