In these games (as well as ''[[Pokémon: FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed/LeafGreen]]''), he was the first gym leader whom [[Red]] had to battle in his journey. After being defeated, Brock surrendered a Boulderbadge along with TM 34: Bide (or TM 38: Rock Tomb in ''FireRed'' and ''LeafGreen''). |
Brock still watched over the Pewter gym several years later in ''[[Pokémon: Gold and Silver Versions|Pokémon Gold, Silver]]'', ''[[Pokémon: Crystal Version|Crystal]]'', ''[[Pokémon: HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions]]''. This time, however, he was one of the last gym leaders whom [[Ethan]]/[[Lyra]] battled during their trip through [[Kanto]]. Brock awarded them with a Boulderbadge as well after losing (and TM 80: Rock Slide in ''HeartGold'' and ''SoulSilver''). In ''HeartGold'' and ''SoulSilver'', he would later appear in the Diglett's Cave on most afternoons, and would exchange Pokégear numbers with Ethan/Lyra there. Calling him on Saturday nights (between the hours of 8PM and 4AM) would cause him to travel to Saffron City's Fighting Dojo for a rematch. He also appeared at the Diglett's Cave on Saturday nights, when he offered to trade a [[Rhyhorn]] (that has Thunder Fang as an Egg Move) for a [[Bonsly]]. | Brock still watched over the Pewter gym several years later in ''[[Pokémon: Gold and Silver Versions|Pokémon Gold, Silver]]'', ''[[Pokémon: Crystal Version|Crystal]]'', ''[[Pokémon: HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions]]''.

His Pokémon, based on his roster in the original games along with some from his anime roster, were Onix, Graveler, [[Cubone]], [[Vulpix]], [[Omanyte]] and [[Kabuto]] in the first round; and Onix, [[Golbat]], [[Golem]], [[Ninetales]], [[Dugtrio]] and Omastar in the second round. Oddly enough, many of these Pokémon (such as the evolved forms of Omanyte and Kabuto) later appeared on his roster in ''Gold'' and ''Silver''. | |

− | + | *Brock also served as a major supporting character in the Pokémon anime series. After Ash defeated him at the Pewter gym, Brock left the gym in the care of his parents (and later his younger brother Forrest) to travel with Ash in hopes of achieving his dream to become a master Pokémon breeder. Along the way he showed his talents as a chef and flirted with every woman he came across. Brock has been the most loyal of Ash's traveling companions, remaining with him in the journeys through Kanto, [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]] and finally [[Sinnoh]]. Until that point he was only absent for the filler arc involving the exploration of the Orange Islands, when he briefly worked as a lab assistant for Professor Ivy. Towards the end of the Sinnoh episodes, Brock developed an interest in becoming a Pokémon doctor and wound up staying behind in Kanto to train; his place in Ash's crew is taken by [[Cilan]] for the following Unova series. Brock has since made several guest appearances, including a two-part episode of the ''Sun and Moon'' series which features he and Misty reuniting with Ash. | |

In the ''Red''/''Blue''/''Green'' arc he works in conjunction with [[Misty]] and [[Erika]] (and later [[Blaine]]) as the only "good" gym leaders battling against Team Rocket. He is shown to battle shirtless and as in most adaptations he befriends Red after being defeated by him. He and the other good gym leaders lend Red their aid at several points in the series and do similarly for Yellow in the ''Yellow'' arc, in which Brock winds up ultimately defending Pewter City from the Elite Four's attack. In the ''Gold''/''Silver''/''Crystal'' arc, Brock and Misty help Red to prepare for his gym leader examination, and during the competition against the Johto gym leaders he is defeated by [[Jasmine]]'s newly-discovered [[Steelix]]. |
