Brock made an appearance in [[SS025]], 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 was mentioned in ''[[BW087|Expedition to Onix Island!]]'', when Dawn learned that {{an|Cilan}} cooks for himself, Ash and {{an|Iris}}. She said 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 flashbacks in ''[[BW088|The Mystery of the Missing Cubchoo!]]'' and ''[[BW116|The Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion!]]''. In addition, he appeared in a fantasy in ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]''.

Brock appeared in person 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]] 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 reappeared in several {{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 [[Regional variant|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. Afterwards, the group had a party and learned from {{an|Professor Kukui}} that the class had plans to head to [[Cerulean City]] for a Gym battle.

In ''[[SM043|When Regions Collide!]]'', the group arrived at Cerulean City, where Brock and Misty assisted Professor Kukui's lecture on the mechanics of Gym battles and the [[Pokémon League]]. Brock defeated Lillie and {{an|Sophocles}} in a [[Multi Battle]], then used his [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{TP|Brock|Steelix}} to defeat {{an|Kiawe}} and his {{TP|Kiawe|Turtonator}}. He and Misty then bade Ash and his classmates farewell and accepted Ash's offer to visit [[Alola]] sometime in the future.

In [[SM102]], Brock accompanied Misty to Alola and met up with Ash and his classmates. Stopping by the [[Pokémon Center]], he flirted with Nurse Joy, only to be stopped by Misty. He remained behind to assist Nurse Joy as she treated a {{p|Yungoos}}.

In [[SM103]], Brock and Misty accompanied Ash and his classmates to [[Akala Island]].

Using a {{TP|Brock|Comfey}} that Nurse Joy had given him, Brock was able to treat the baby Kangaskhan's injury. Later, upon meeting [[Island Kahuna]] [[Olivia]], Brock immediately fell in love with her and they agreed to a battle. Brock used Sudowoodo against her {{p|Lycanroc}}, but the battle was interrupted when Team Rocket attempted to steal the Pokémon. Brock teamed up with Olivia to turn Lycanroc's {{m|Continental Crush}} into the shape of a heart, which defeated Team Rocket. At the end of the episode, Brock returned to Kanto alongside Misty.

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 ''[[SS001|A Family That Battles Together Stays Together!]]''.

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.

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]], {{FB|Pike Queen|Lucy}}, [[Holly]], {{OBP|Autumn|DP062}}, [[Narissa]], and [[Lizabeth]]. 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.

He also carries a small blue journal containing information on every girl he meets, referring to it in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'' as his "Little Blue Book of Babes". It most recently appeared in [[SM103]] and featured [[Island Kahuna]] [[Olivia]].

His love of the [[Officer Jenny]] and [[Nurse Joy]] family lines, in particular, can be overbearing and embarrassing for his friends. Brock can also tell whether they are real or impostors, as well as make out subtle physical differences between them. This "ability" has been used multiple times in the series.

Line 106: Line 109:
His goals have played a passive role in his development, and Brock's overall role has generally been one as support for other main characters, usually contributing more in terms of wisdom and comedic antics than the action of the series. Unlike other characters, who aspire to achieve and excel in competitive fields like [[Pokémon training]] and [[Pokémon Contest]]s, his initial aim to become a great {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}} was a quiet one and thus did not get showcased frequently. Brock's experience with {{TP|Brock|Vulpix}} taught him a lot about conditioning and nutrition, while further knowledge came from raising {{TP|Brock|Happiny}} and {{TP|Brock|Bonsly}}. He questioned whether he was actually pursuing his dreams like his friends near the end of the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, and ultimately decided to become a Pokémon {{tc|Doctor}} instead.

===Pokémon===
As [[Gym]] tradition dictated, Brock's first Pokémon, {{TP|Brock|Onix}} and {{TP|Brock|Geodude}}, were {{t|Rock}} [[types]]. 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. As he has stated in ''[[DP125|Battling A Cute Drama!]]'', his philosophy is that the important thing about being a Pokémon Trainer is the [[friendship|bond]] between Trainer and Pokémon.
