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.

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. After getting some new clothes from his mother, Brock set off on a new journey as he goes to [[Hoenn]] region in the hopes of finding Ash there. | |||

In ''[[AG004|You Never Can Taillow]]'', Brock arrived in [[Petalburg Woods]] as he was about to eat some lunch until he saw a {{m|Thunderbolt}} attack and hoped it was [[Ash's Pikachu]] as he rushed over to see. Brock ended up being right as he sees Ash and his new friends {{an|May}} and [[Max]] in trouble with a group of {{p|Taillow}}. After rescuing them, Brock formally meets May and Max then informs his intentions to travel with Ash again, which he happily accepts. After that, Brock traveled through Hoenn and Kanto [[Battle Frontier]] with his friends until he decided to return home. | |||
====''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''==== | |||
In ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation!]]'', Brock arrived in [[Sinnoh]] through [[Claudina]] as he meet up with Ash. Although he intended to travel with Claudina, Brock changed his mind when he found out that she has a boyfriend and decided to join Ash in his Sinnoh journey. After finding out that another one of Team Rocket's attempt to catch Pikachu got him separate from Ash, Brock joined him in finding the Mouse Pokémon. In the [[DP003|next episode]], Brock meets {{an|Dawn}}, who was the one who found and saved Pikachu, as she joins him and Ash on their journey. | |||
Near the end of the Sinnoh his journey, Brock began to wonder if he was pursuing the same goal that he had been since he set off on his journey. However, after saving a group of Pokémon in ''[[DP190|The Brockster Is In!]]'', Brock decided to use all the experiences he gained while traveling with Ash to become a {{tc|Doctor|Pokémon Doctor}}. Unfortunately, Brock realized that he won't be able to follow Ash to [[Unova]] to advise him, as he decided to remain in Kanto to study. After parting ways with Dawn and returning to Kanto, Brock parted ways from Ash once again and return home. | |||
Brock made an appearance in [[DPS02]], where it was revealed that, while waiting to attend a Pokémon medical school, he had 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 made an appearance in [[DPS02]], where it was revealed that, while waiting to attend a Pokémon medical school, he had been studying hard at home as well as helping out at the [[Pewter City]] [[Pokémon Center]].

Brock reappeared in several ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]'' episodes, first reappearing with ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]''. Brock reunited with Ash when he and {{ashcl}} arrived at the Kanto airport, where he also used his expertise as a Pokémon {{tc|Doctor}} to diagnose {{an|Lillie}}'s [[Snowy]]'s airsickness as harmless. Brock and Misty then compared Kantonian and {{rf|Alolan}} Pokémon with the class at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]]. Later, Brock and the rest of the group worked together to defeat {{TRT}}, who Brock was angry to find were still up to their old tactics of stealing Pokémon.

Prior to joining {{Ash}} on his {{pkmn|journey}}, Brock had become increasingly frustrated and harsh towards challengers as a result of his responsibilities as both the [[Pewter City]] [[Gym Leader]] and the main caretaker for his {{Brocksib|nine younger siblings}}. Even while traveling, he would think of his family, returning home on several occasions like in ''[[HS01|A Family That Battles Together Stays Together!]]''. | Prior to joining {{Ash}} on his {{pkmn|journey}}, Brock had become increasingly frustrated and harsh towards challengers as a result of his responsibilities as both the [[Pewter City]] [[Gym Leader]] and the main caretaker for his {{Brocksib|nine younger siblings}}.

Brock is noticeably mature, wise, and levelheaded, often acting as an older brother and caretaker to the other characters and a voice of reason in disputes. He will usually place others before himself and will support his friends even against his better judgment or at his own expense. Brock always carries books and maps with him, and thus is usually the character who knows where the group is headed and what they can do when they get there. However, in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'', this role was mostly taken over by [[Max]], who owned a [[PokéNav]]. | Brock is noticeably mature, wise, and levelheaded, often acting as an older brother and caretaker to the other characters and a voice of reason in disputes.

He is renowned for his domestic abilities like sewing, vacuuming, and, most notably, cooking, which Ash and the others always enjoy without fail. The capacity of Brock's [[Bag]] is endless, as seen in ''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]'', where it is capable of containing full tea-sets, tables, and cooking utensils. He also carries a lot of other supplies, such as [[Potion]]s and [[Pokémon food]], though he has to make pit stops in towns so he could restock the group's supplies. | He is renowned for his domestic abilities like sewing, vacuuming, and, most notably, cooking, which Ash and the others always enjoy without fail.

Despite this, all of his maturity and rationality leaves him completely at the sight of a beautiful woman, and he is extremely passionate over the prospect of finding the girl of his dreams, though he is usually never successful in wooing a woman. Despite this, a few women have been known to show interest in him, such as [[Wilhomena]], [[Temacu]], [[Natalie]], [[Lucy]], [[Holly]], {{OBP|Autumn|DP062}}, [[Narissa]], [[Lizabeth]], and [[Olivia]]. Despite his failures, Brock remains determined to find a girl to start a relationship with, and has indicated several times he would stop traveling with Ash and stay with the girl if this happened. This behavior tends to wear on the nerves of other characters, and Misty and Max have both commonly dragged Brock away from women by his ear. In addition, some of Brock's own Pokémon, most notably {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}}, have attacked him for getting too flirtatious with women. | Despite this, all of his maturity and rationality leaves him completely at the sight of a beautiful woman, and he is extremely passionate over the prospect of finding the girl of his dreams, though he is usually never successful in wooing a woman.

In addition, some of Brock's own Pokémon, most notably {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}}, have attacked him for getting too flirtatious with women. Brock has also been shown to be able to identify when women are actually [[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 "{{DL|Cross-dressing|Ashley}}" was able to fool Brock. | ||

Brock was not shown to {{pkmn|battle}} often in spite of his experience as a former Gym Leader, though he happily accepts challenges from girls like [[Miki]], [[Molly Hale]], and Olivia. Instead, he tended to advise Ash on battle strategies and keenly watched matches from the sidelines, seeing the knowledge as valuable to understanding a Pokémon in its entirety. | Brock was not shown to {{pkmn|battle}} often in spite of his experience as a former Gym Leader, though he happily accepts challenges from girls like [[Miki]], [[Molly Hale]], and Olivia.

However, once he was able to leave the [[Pewter Gym]] and go on a {{pkmn|journey}}, he has dedicated himself to learn about how to care for a variety of Pokémon.
