=====Fourth rematch=====

:''"Hey, there, <player>! I learned a lot from the battle we had together. I intend to do my training over, then reopen the <sc>Gym</sc>. It's going to take some time before I'm ready to run the <sc>Gym</sc> again. But if I can reopen the <sc>Gym</sc>, I want you to challenge us again."''

Brawly debuted in ''[[AG020|Brave the Wave]]''. {{Ash}} was very annoyed that Brawly would put off a [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}} in favor of going surfing, and he went on to interrupt their morning surf session. Brawly was unfazed and even helped Ash to recover {{AP|Pikachu}} from {{TRT}}.

After seeing Pikachu send Team Rocket blasting off, Brawly offered Ash a Gym challenge. Ash eagerly accepted and the pair walked over the [[Dewford Gym]] battlefield. [[Ash's Taillow]] took on Brawly's {{p|Machop}} in the first round, but it was defeated by a single {{m|Cross Chop}}. [[Ash's Treecko]] managed to defeat Machop with its speed and a direct {{m|Pound}} attack. Brawly defeated Ash with his [[Evolution|newly-evolved]] {{TP|Brawly|Hariyama}}, and in part because of Ash's own arrogance.

Afterwards, Ash caught up with Brawly on the beach, and Brawly went on to explain the importance of his surf training to his battle strategy. Ash took on Brawly's advice and trained for several weeks on [[Dewford Island]] in anticipation of a [[rematch]]. Ash even went so far as to copy Brawly's wave-training to teach his own Pokémon to dodge and resist attacks.

In ''[[AG030|A Meditite Fight!]]'', Brawly interrupted Ash's battle against his student {{ho|Shauna}} because of a brewing storm. Brawly led everyone, some [[wild Pokémon]] and even Team Rocket, to a cave on the shore to wait for the storm to pass. The storm ended, but Team Rocket returned to their usual ploy of trying to steal Pikachu, but Brawly's Hariyama quickly sent the trio blasting off. Afterwards, Brawly refereed a match between Ash and Shauna. While Ash won, Brawly was thrilled to see Shauna had connected with her {{p|Meditite}} and officially made her one of his apprentices.

Brawly also agreed to a rematch against Ash in a private arena—a wave-swept islet off the coast of Dewford. Using his Pokémon's new techniques and his newly-caught {{AP|Corphish}}, Ash was finally able to claim the {{Badge|Knuckle}} in ''[[AG031|Just One of the Geysers!]]''.

Like his mentor [[Chuck]], Brawly's {{pkmn|battle}} style is based on focus. At first, Ash was unable to realize that Brawly's surf training had helped him to develop his Pokémon's unique dodge and concentrated balance techniques. Surfing has taught them to concentrate their center of gravity by bending their legs, while their upper bodies are prepared to launch or fend off an attack.

When {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} are awakened, they begin causing {{a|Drought|droughts}} and {{a|Drizzle|downpours}} throughout Hoenn. Brawly and [[Roxanne]] are sent to the drought-plagued areas to face Groudon in battle. Despite their best efforts, Groudon proves to be too powerful for any of their attacks to damage it. They are later assisted by [[Wallace]], who also participates in the battle to stop Groudon, but all three are interrupted by the Three Fires of Team Magma, [[Blaise]], [[Tabitha]], and {{FB|Magma Admin|Courtney}}. The three grab Brawly, Roxanne, and Wallace and take them to [[Lilycove City]] to prevent the Gym Leaders from stopping Groudon any further. Brawly is taken to [[Lilycove Museum]], where Blaise faces him in battle. With his illusions, Blaise scares Brawly by making it so that the paintings in the museum appear to be coming to life. Having learned the secrets of Gō from his trip with Bruno, Brawly uses force to break through the illusions and defeats Blaise.

Brawly, along with various people from around Hoenn, is called to [[Sootopolis City]] to assist in stopping [[Grand Meteor Delta]], a giant meteoroid threatening to destroy the planet. When the plan to attack Grand Meteor Delta starts, Brawly and the others have their Pokémon attack the meteoroid at the same time. This, combined with the might of Mega {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Rayquaza}}, successfully shatters Grand Meteor Delta into pieces.

Machoke's only known move is {{m|Revenge}}, and his Ability is {{a|Guts}}.}}

Brawly appears in ''[[PMRS11|The Haunted Gym]]'' of Pokémon Ruby-Sapphire. He first appeared as Sableye's illusion when it was navigating {{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}} and his Pokémon in the dark [[Dewford Gym]]. The group thought that Brawly was real when he was flexing his muscles but it turned out to be a poster Sableye put up. As the group went after Sableye after tricking them into believing that it was Brawly, they saw the real Brawly stuck in a {{p|Pelipper}}-shaped seat. Red and the Pokémon worked together to get him off and were successful. Brawly then thanked them in doing so and laughed at Clefairy after he got stuck in the seat.

* Brawly is a {{type|Fighting}} Trainer with a pastime involving water, in comparison with [[Crasher Wake]], a {{type|Water}} Trainer with a pastime involving fighting. Coincidentally, they both wear clothes with the colors orange, blue, black, and white.
