 ===In the main series===
-The Pewter Gym was first seen in ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'' in the {{pkmn|anime}}. It is a stone building apparently set apart from the rest of the city. {{an|Brock}} waits inside in the dark for challengers, sitting on a stone pedestal as he does in the {{pkmn|games}}; however, unlike in the games, no other Trainers have been seen as part of the Gym aside from Brock's family. The battlefield is littered with jagged rocks and boulders, and a balcony along the edge above provides spectators a spot to watch Gym battles. Despite being a Rock-type Gym, the building has sprinklers for fire safety, which {{Ash}} uses to gain an advantage against {{TP|Brock|Onix|Steelix}}.
+The Pewter Gym has made multiple appearances in the {{pkmn|anime}}, first being seen in ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'', where {{Ash}} challenged it as his first Gym in order to earn his first [[Badge]]. However, his {{AP|Pikachu}} was at a severe disadvantage against [[Brock's Onix]], forcing Ash to eventually surrender, suffering his first loss since he started his {{pkmn|journey}}. After some {{pkmn|training}} with Pikachu, Ash challenged {{an|Brock}} to a [[rematch]], during which Pikachu accidentally set off the Gym's sprinkler system, allowing Pikachu's {{t|Electric}} moves to hurt Onix. However, Ash refused to deal the finishing blow and forfeited, saying that he didn't feel this way of winning would be fair. However, soon after, Brock caught up to Ash and gave him a {{badge|Boulder}}, insisting that earned it through his kindness to Pokémon. The two were then approached by {{ka|Flint}}, Brock's father and the previous Pewter Gym Leader. As Brock's true dream was to become a {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}} and him having held the Gym Leader position only out of obligation to his family, he gave his Gym Leader position back to Flint in order to travel with Ash.
-The Gym is an important part of Brock's family, and Brock, his [[Brock's siblings|brothers and sisters]], and his parents live in a large house behind the Gym. Brock's father, {{ka|Flint}}, was the Gym Leader before Brock, and Brock inherited the Gym as part of his family responsibilities when his parents left. While Brock was a strong, respected Gym Leader, he did not like being one, and only did it as an obligation to his family. When Flint came back, Brock returned the title of Gym Leader to him, and left to travel with Ash and pursue his own dream of becoming a {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}}.
+During Brock's travels with Ash, Brock's mother, [[Lola]], returned to the Gym and decided to redecorate and redesign it to match her preference of {{type|Water}} Pokémon, including adding a pool of water in the middle of the battlefield. When Brock returned to the Gym in ''[[SS001|A Family That Battles Together Stays Together!]]'', he was shocked to see the changes done to it and joined his younger brother Forrest in voicing his distaste towards them. Flint battled Lola to change the Gym back, but was defeated. He then suggested that the Gym could be converted into a dual-type one, but Brock rejected the idea and challenged his mother to a battle as well. Unlike Flint, Brock was able to defeat Lola, restoring the Gym to its roots as a sole Rock-type Gym. Brock then left his Onix, {{TP|Brock|Geodude}}, and {{TP|Brock|Crobat}} with Forrest at the Gym before heading to [[Hoenn]] to rejoin Ash.
-When Brock's mother, [[Lola]], returned, the Gym was turned into a combination {{type|Water}} and Rock-type Gym, and the battlefield was redecorated, including the addition of a pool in the middle. However, Brock returned in ''[[SS001|A Family That Battles Together Stays Together!]]'' and was shocked to see how his mother has changed. Both he and his younger brother [[Forrest]] take pride in the Gym's strong reputation as a Rock-type Gym. He battled his mother to restore the Gym to being only Rock-type again.
+Brock briefly returned to the Gym in between ''[[AG132|The Scheme Team]]'' and ''[[AG133|The Right Place and the Right Mime]]'', leaving his {{TP|Brock|Ludicolo}} with his family before rejoining Ash during his journey to challenge the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III|Kanto Battle Frontier}}.
-It was subject to a second remodeling attempt in ''[[AG177|Grating Spaces]]''. At that time, a storage room was seen where the Gym keeps many [[Poké Ball]]s, presumably containing different Rock-type Pokémon. In its subsequent appearances, the Gym's name has been removed from the entrance.
+The Gym was subject to a second remodeling attempt, this time by a disguised {{TRT}}, in ''[[AG177|Grating Spaces]]''. Ash and Brock had a [[Multi Battle|Tag Battle]] against [[Jessie]] and [[James]] while {{MTR}} tried to steal [[Poké Ball]]s from the Gym's storage room, until he was exposed by [[Max]]. Afterwards, the stolen Poké Balls were recovered and Team Rocket was sent blasting off again.
-While traveling with Ash, Brock kept Pokémon he owns but does not currently have on his [[party]] at the Gym. He has had his {{TP|Brock|Steelix}}, {{TP|Brock|Geodude}}, {{TP|Brock|Crobat}}, {{TP|Brock|Forretress}}, {{TP|Brock|Ludicolo}} and {{TP|Brock|Marshtomp}} at the Gym. Flint's {{p|Golem}} is also kept at the Gym, and Lola keeps her many {{type|Water}} Pokémon there.
+Brock once again made an off-screen stop at the Pewter Gym in between ''[[AG192|Home is Where the Start Is!]]'' and ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation!]]'', leaving his {{TP|Brock|Forretress}} and {{TP|Brock|Marshtomp}} there before traveling to [[Sinnoh]] to once again rejoin Ash.
-Pewter Gym was featured in [[SS025]], where the Gym was going to be closed down after Brock lost to a [[Nurse Joy]] who was an employee of the [[Pokémon Inspection Agency]]. After winning a battle against Forrest, Nurse Joy allowed the Gym to stay open, with Forrest as its official Gym Leader. The Gym is notably cleaner than in its previous appearance, with all paintings removed. In addition, the battlefield has more pointed rocks while the area around it is a blue shiny floor, possibly to reflect Lola's penchant for water. However, the Gym had a bad paint job and the Rock Pokémon nearly drowned in the pool, which per the Pokémon Inspection Agency's standards of cleanliness, safety, and coolness in ''[[SS002|Cerulean Blues]]'', should have resulted in the Gym being shut down.
+The Gym was featured again in [[SS025]], where Brock returned there to meet a [[Nurse Joy]] from the [[Pokémon Inspection Agency]], who had come to shut the Gym down due to it not having an official Leader present. Brock battled against Nurse Joy, but was defeated, endangering the Gym's fate. Afterwards, Brock learned that while he had previously left his Gym Leader duties to Forrest, Flint had accidentally lost the Gym Leader change notice he had been supposed to bring to the PIA, causing the information to never reach the agency. Brock managed to convince Nurse Joy into having another battle to decide the Gym's fate, this time against Forrest. To everyone's surprise, Joy used {{p|Latias}}, a [[Legendary Pokémon]], to face against Forrest. While Forrest ended up losing the battle, Joy recognized his skills and officially appointed him as the new Pewter Gym Leader, allowing the Gym to continue operating.
+The Pewter Gym is a stone building apparently set apart from the rest of [[Pewter City]]. When it first appeared, the Gym's name was visible at the front, but it's removed in its later appearances. In the Gym's debut appearance, {{an|Brock}} was shown waiting inside in the dark for challengers, sitting on a stone pedestal as he does in the {{pkmn|games}}. The battlefield is littered with jagged rocks and boulders, and a balcony along the edge above provides spectators a spot to watch Gym battles. When Ash first faced Brock, the battlefield was shown to consist of two halves moved together during battles, but later, the battlefield has been shown to be a static one. Despite being a Rock-type Gym, the building has sprinklers for fire safety. During the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, the Gym was shown to have become notably cleaner than previously. In addition, the battlefield now has more pointed rocks, while the area around it is a blue shiny floor, possibly to reflect Lola's penchant for water. Brock's family lives in a large house located at the back of the Gym. The Gym also has a large storage room for Poké Balls, as seen during the {{series|Advanced Generation}}.
