Soren and Rocko: Difference between revisions

[[File:Soren Rocko.png|thumb|250px|Soren (left) and Rocko (right)]]

'''Soren''' (Japanese: '''ソラン''' ''Soran'') and '''Rocko''' (Japanese: '''リーク''' ''Rīku'') are the [[characters of the day]] in ''[[BW099|A Surface to Air Tag Battle Team!]]''. They are both brothers, Soren being the elder one.

During their journey, {{Ash}}, {{an|Iris}} and {{an|Cilan}} were confronted by a {{p|Drilbur}} and a {{p|Braviary}}. These belonged to Soren and Rocko, who revealed themselves from their hiding place. They challenged {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} to a tag battle, and claimed they were the greatest brothers in the world. Soren even said he and his brother had defeated the Subway Bosses, [[Emmet]] and [[Ingo]], which was soon revealed by Rocko to be false.

Soren and Rocko were excited to hear Cilan is a [[Gym Leader]] and so they wanted to battle against him and Ash. While Soren and Rocko chose Braviary and Drilbur to battle, Ash and Cilan decided to go with {{AP|Unfezant}} and {{TP|Cilan|Pansage}}. At first, Ash and Cilan were surprised by the unique combinations of the brothers, but after taking some hits, they countered with their own combinations and eventually won. This loss made the brothers upset, and they started to blame it on each other. Cilan quickly offered his help however, and analyzed the Pokémon of the siblings. He came to the conclusion that the brothers needed to catch a {{type|Water}} Pokémon to battle perfectly, because then they would have full coverage over land, sky and water.

Cilan and the brothers went fishing and they quickly came across a male and a female {{p|Frillish}}. They wanted to catch them, but the brothers started arguing again on what combination to use to attack the Frillish. This made the Frillish attack first and escape. Shortly after that, a {{p|Buizel}} and {{p|Corphish}} appeared. This time, the brothers worked together perfectly, even deciding who would catch which Pokémon. Soren managed to catch Buizel, while Rocko succeeded in catching Corphish. They sincerely thanked Cilan for his help and after that said goodbye to him, Ash and Iris.

This listing is of Soren and Rocko's known Pokémon:

===Soren's===

|img=Soren Braviary.png

|desc={{p|Braviary}} first appeared flying towards {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}. Soren introduced him as the "Soldier of the Sky". He then battled in a tag battle against {{AP|Unfezant}} and {{TP|Cilan|Pansage}}. Together with Rocko's {{p|Drilbur}}, he made unique combinations, such as "Drill Wing" (a combination of {{m|Drill Run}} and {{m|Wing Attack}}), "Brave Dig" (a combination of {{m|Brave Bird}} and {{m|Dig}}), "Aerial Claw" (a combination of {{m|Aerial Ace}} and {{m|Metal Claw}}), and "Fury Rock" (a combination of {{m|Fury Attack}} and {{m|Rock Slide}}). Unfezant and Pansage countered with their own combinations however and so he and Drilbur lost.

Later he battled against two {{p|Frillish}} in an attempt by Soren and Rocko to catch them, but due to the brothers arguing, the Frillish attacked Braviary and Drilbur and fled. Shortly after that he battled a {{p|Buizel}} and a {{p|Corphish}} and this time their Trainers succeeded in catching the Pokémon.
