Not much is known about Brock's early childhood, except that his {{pkmn2|starter|first Pokémon}} was an {{TP|Brock|Onix}} he received as a {{pkmn2|gift}} at the age of 10. Sometime after, his father {{ka|Flint}} left home to become a great {{pkmn|Trainer}}. When he never returned, his mother [[Lola]] [[EP005#Dub edits|left them]] as well, leaving Brock to take care of {{Brocksib|his siblings}}, as well as their house and the [[Pewter Gym]], by himself. However, Flint eventually returned home considering himself a failure, and instead of returning to his family he donned a disguise and sold rocks as souvenirs at the edge of town. After Brock awarded Ash the {{Badge|Boulder}}, Flint came forward and confessed who he was. Flint took on the responsibilities of the Pewter Gym and his family, leaving Brock free to {{pkmn|journey}} with Ash and {{an|Misty}}. | Not much is known about Brock's early childhood, except that his {{pkmn2|starter|first Pokémon}} was an {{TP|Brock|Onix}} he received as a {{pkmn2|gift}} at the age of 10.

Brock only became the Gym Leader because he felt it was his responsibility, and he admitted to Ash that he would rather [[Pokémon training#Caretaking|care]] for Pokémon than {{pkmn|battle}} them. It was his dream to become a great {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}}, and when Flint took back control of the Gym, Brock was allowed to start following this dream.

It was his dream to become a great {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}}, and when Flint took back control of the Gym, Brock was allowed to start following this dream. Most notably, he took care of a {{TP|Brock|Vulpix}} that belonged to a Breeder named [[Suzie]]. Shortly before Vulpix was returned, Brock used it in a [[Pokémon Beauty Contest|Pokémon breeding competition]]. | ||
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. | Brock was also able to meet and make advances towards the many beautiful women he met.

Brock is considered the most mature, wise and level-headed of the main characters, and he is arguably the most intelligent character as well. He often acts as an older brother and caretaker to the other characters and a voice of reason in disputes. He will usually place others before him and will help and support his friends even against his better judgment or at his own expense. While he is not shown to battle often, he can understand the situations and strategies in any [[Pokémon battle]], and often explains them to the other characters, probably due to the fact that he was once a [[Gym Leader]]. His wisdom is possibly derived from how observant he is; he can tell just by sight how a Pokémon is feeling. | Brock is considered the most mature, wise and level-headed of the main characters, and he is arguably the most intelligent character as well.

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, though in the {{series|Advanced Generation}} this role was mostly taken over by Max, who owns a [[PokéNav]]. He also carries a lot of other supplies, such as [[Potion]]s, [[Pokémon food]], and a set of cookware, as well as practical tools like a brush and pocket knife; in ''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]'', the extent of his preparedness and comically large capacity of his [[bag]] was demonstrated, as he pulled out a table and full tea set out of his backpack. He is a domestic, and {{pkmn|groomer|grooms}} not only his Pokémon but also those of his friends with whom he travels. He handles all the cooking and cleaning for his friends. | 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, though in the {{series|Advanced Generation}} this role was mostly taken over by Max, who owns a [[PokéNav]].
