Brock (anime): Difference between revisions

Brock was also able to meet and make advances towards the many beautiful women he met. At first, he was more casual about approaching women, such as the [[Officer Jenny]] in [[Cerulean City]], and more modest as well, such as when he met [[Melanie]]. However, he became more open and passionate towards almost all single young women as time progressed.

Upon his return home, Brock was dismayed to find that his mother had returned and commandeered the Gym, turning the Rock-type haven into a brightly decorated {{type|Water}} den. Brock battled her for the honor of Rock types and won, promising his brother [[Forrest]] that he would become Gym Leader someday.

Brock made an appearance in [[SS025]] where it was revealed that, while waiting to attend a Pokémon medical school, he has been studying hard at home as well as helping out at the Pewter City [[Pokémon Center]]. In the episode, he played a major role in helping [[Forrest]] to officially become the [[Pewter City]] Gym Leader when it is revealed that his father never informed the Pokémon League of the title change.

Brock was mentioned in ''[[BW087|Expedition to Onix Island!]]'' when Dawn learned that {{an|Cilan}} cooks for himself, Ash and Iris. She stated that this was similar to the way Brock used to for her and Ash before he decided to become a Pokémon Doctor. He also appeared in a flashback in ''[[BW088|The Mystery of the Missing Cubchoo!]]'' and in Ash's flashbacks of his memories with {{AP|Charizard}} in ''[[BW116|The Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion!]]''. He also appeared in a flashback in ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]''.

Brock returned in [[SS027]], where it was revealed that he had attended the Pokémon medical school and had been sent to [[Johto]] to apprentice under a Pokémon Doctor as part of his training. While passing through the town he bumped into [[Pokémon Connoisseur]] {{an|Cilan}} briefly, then encountered him again when Cilan took his {{TP|Cilan|Pansage}} to be treated at the town's [[Pokémon Center]] after it was injured by a {{p|Gyarados}}. While waiting for it to recover, the two encountered the beginning Trainer [[Ayumi]] who was having trouble teaching her {{p|Pikachu}} to use {{m|Thunderbolt}}; Brock was very impressed with Cilan's talents as Cilan helped Pikachu master the move. Later, when the Gyarados that Cilan encountered earlier started to rampage due to being injured by the {{pkmn|poacher}} [[Amer]], Brock spotted that it was injured, so after Pansage's {{m|Grass Whistle}} put it to {{status|sleep}}, Brock was able to quickly treat it. Afterwards, the two said goodbye to each other and continued their separate travels, having never learned their names or that {{Ash}} was a mutual friend of theirs.

* Brock has been shown to be able to identify when women are really cross-dressing men in disguise by having a peculiar lack of attraction to them. He's also able to do the opposite. A significant exception to this is Ash, who in the guise of [[Ashley]] was able to fool Brock.

* Brock has owned four Pokémon [[List of Pokémon with cross-generational evolutions|whose evolutions debuted in a different generation]] than that Pokémon. ({{TP|Brock|Golbat}}, {{TP|Brock|Onix}}, {{TP|Brock|Bonsly}}, and {{TP|Brock|Happiny}}). All of them have since evolved.
