This left his eldest brother, Brock, in charge of the family. Brock took care of them for many years, running the Pewter City Gym at the same time. Although in truth, Brock wanted to travel and become a {{tc|Pokémon Breeder|breeder}}. Eventually, Flint returned, allowing Brock to leave on a journey with a Trainer he had recently met, {{Ash}}. | ||

Forrest and Brock commiserated with each other over the sad state the Gym had fallen into. Brock defeated Lola in a {{pkmn|battle}}, and convinced her to restore the Gym to its former state. In the process, he lent Forrest most of his Pokémon and passed the title of Gym Leader onto him. | ||
When Brock returned from [[Sinnoh]], Forrest was with a [[Nurse Joy]] from the [[PIA]], but she demanded to see the true Gym Leader, Brock. So Brock battled the Nurse Joy and Forrest acted as referee.

Still, Nurse Joy was impressed by his skill and decided to name him as the official Gym Leader of Pewter City. | ||

==Trivia== | |||
*It is implied in ''[[Pocket Monsters: The Animation]]'' that Forrest alongside his other siblings and possibly even Brock himself may not have been sired by Flint, as it mentioned that Lola, prior to ultimately abandoning her family, had "married again and again and had dozens of kids" in a desperate attempt to keep Pewter Gym (due to her various husbands fleeing when they were losing due to the strict regulations of running a gym). | |||
