The '''Invincible Pokémon Brothers''', also called the '''Three Fighting Brothers''' are a trio of brothers that own {{type2|Fighting}} Pokémon. Their names are Kim, Kai and Kail. Kim is the short one, Kai is the big-boned one and Kail is the tall one.
The '''Invincible Pokémon Brothers''' (Japanese: '''ポケモン最強ブラザーズ''' ''Strongest Pokémon Brothers''), also called the '''Three Fighting Brothers''' (Japanese: '''カンフー三兄弟''' ''Three Kung fu Brothers'') are a trio of brothers from [[Viridian City]] that own {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon. Their names are '''Kim''' (Japanese: '''ブルース・チャン''' ''Chan Bruce''), '''Kai''' ('''Khan''' in {{pkmn|Chronicles}}, Japanese: '''ブルース・シャン''' ''Shan Bruce''), and '''Kail''' ('''Kam''' in Chronicles, Japanese: '''ブルース・リン''' ''Rin Bruce''). Kim is the short one, Kai is the fat one and Kail is the tall one. Kim claims that he is the strongest Pokémon Trainer in Virdian City, with Kail and Kai respectively claiming to rank second and third.


Their first appearance was ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch ya Later!]]''. While [[Misty]] was heading back to [[Cerulean City]], the brothers challenged her, and [[Brock]] and [[Ash Ketchum|Ash]] to a match, but Ash and co. won. It is later revealed that the three Fighting Brothers were acquainted with [[Jessie]], [[James]] and [[Meowth (Team Rocket)|Meowth]] of the sinister Team Rocket, but Team Rocket had broken a promise the Fighting Brothers made with them. Team Rocket promised they'd give the brothers some gold. The brothers were prompted to turn on Team Rocket after Team Rocket broke the promise. After Ash and co. got free from the net Team Rocket trapped them in, they sent Team Rocket and the Fighting Brothers blasting off.
==History==
Their first appearance was in ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]''. While {{an|Misty}} was wandering around [[Viridian City]] trying to collect her thoughts, the brothers spotted an opportunity for a {{pkmn|battle}}. The match soon turned to an unfair three-on-one affair, though {{an|Brock}}, and {{Ash}} soon joined in helping to square things up. Ash and {{ashfr}} went on to defeat the brothers. It was later revealed that the three Fighting Brothers were acquainted with [[Jessie]], [[James]] and {{MTR}} of the sinister [[Team Rocket]]. They originally agreed to tire the group out in exchange for money; however, the Rocket trio refused to keep their side of the bargain. After Ash and his friends got free from the net Team Rocket trapped them in, they finally blasted Team Rocket and the Fighting Brothers off to defeat them.


They appear again in ''[[H002|Cerulean Blues]]''. In revenge, they planned to sabotage the PIA test Misty took, strip Misty's title of [[Gym Leader]] and take over the [[Cerulean Gym]], using dirty tactics in their battle against Misty. They were defeated in the end by Misty's newly-acquired [[Misty's Gyarados|Gyarados]].
They appeared again in ''[[HS02|Cerulean Blues]]''. In revenge, they planned to sabotage the [[Pokémon Inspection Agency|PIA]] test Misty took, strip Misty's title of [[Gym Leader]], and take over the [[Cerulean Gym]]. They used dirty tactics in their battle against Misty, such as Kim's {{p|Hitmonchan}} faking drowning to draw [[Misty's Staryu]] off guard and using three {{p|Tentacruel}} at once on [[Misty's Corsola]], causing them to get disqualified. When they argued that they won "fair and square", [[Nurse Joy]] banned them from all official Pokémon matches. In retaliation, the brothers had their three Tentacruel attack {{TP|Misty|Gyarados}} with {{m|Poison Sting}}, demanding to be declared the winners and have their ban lifted. When Misty dove into the water to take the hits for Gyarados, it was moved by her actions and broke out of the cage to save her. Then, Gyarados blasted the Tentacruel off with {{m|Hyper Beam}} before sending the Invincible Brothers to their same fate with {{m|Hydro Pump}}. They are so far never to be seen again.
 
==Character==
The Invincible Pokémon Brothers are incredibly arrogant, claiming to be well-known worldwide and picking on those that they consider to be weaker than themselves. However, beneath these exteriors, they are nothing more than petty cheaters who constantly use dirty tricks and refuse to follow rules. For example, they would have their Pokémon fake being incapacitated and then hit the opponent when their guard is down, even when said opponent was trying to help. Another example is when the battling brother is losing, the other two would send out their Pokémon to gang up on the opponent(s).
 
The brothers are delusional and self-righteous to the point that they actually believe they are not cheating at all and will even argue that they acted fair and square if their cheating is called out. For example, when {{an|Misty}} called them out for illegally sending out two additional Tentacruel to attack her {{TP|Misty|Corsola}} in ''[[HS02|Cerulean Blues]]'', Kim stated that it was a challenge from the Invincible Pokémon Brothers as a whole, disregarding the fact that the match is supposed to be a one-on-one battle. After [[Nurse Joy]] disqualified them for the rule violation, they argued back, declaring that they won "fair and square", which resulted in her additionally banning them from all official Pokémon matches for life.
 
The brothers are capable of great acts of cruelty, such as when they had their Tentacruel attack [[Misty's Gyarados]] with Poison Sting in order to try and force Nurse Joy to lift their ban and give them the win, and even more so when Misty dove in to shield Gyarados; not only did they have Tentacruel attack Misty, but they were also amused when she was in danger of drowning. In the end, they became cowardly when they realized that their defeat was inevitable; they panicked and attempted to surrender in a pathetic way, only to be sent blasting off with all of their Pokémon.

==Trivia==
* Their Japanese surnames are a reference to {{wp|Bruce Lee}}.
** Also, one of their Pokémon's name is based on Bruce Lee.
*** One of them is called Chan Bruce in Japanese, which is both a reference to {{wp|Bruce Lee}} and {{wp|Jackie Chan}}. This brother also has the [[Hitmons|Hitmon]] whose name is based on Chan, {{p|Hitmonchan}}.
* Similar to how [[Vincent|Jackson]]'s name was changed to Vincent and [[Eusine]]'s name to Eugene, Kail and Kai's names were also (possibly accidentally) changed for [[Pokémon Chronicles]].
