Not much is known about Brock's early childhood. In ''[[AG034|Having a Wailord of a Time]]'', he revealed that his {{pkmn2|starter|first Pokémon}} was an {{TP|Brock|Onix}} he received as a tenth birthday {{pkmn2|gift}} from his father {{ka|Flint}}.
Prior to joining {{Ash}} at the end of ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'', Brock had assumed the responsibility of running the [[Pewter Gym]] while also taking care of {{Brocksib|his siblings}} on his own after his father left the family home to pursue his own ventures.

In ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'', 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}}.
 
Brock was introduced in ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'', where he ran the [[Pewter Gym]] while also taking care of {{Brocksib|his siblings}} on his own. At some point before the episode, Brock's father {{ka|Flint}} returned to Pewter City. Considering himself a failure, Flint donned a disguise and sold rocks as souvenirs at the edge of town, rather than return to his family. 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}}.


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.
