The anime

Brock as he appeared in the original series of the Pokémon anime.

In the Pokémon anime, Brock is the oldest of ten siblings. When he first appears in the series, Brock, in addition to running the Pewter City Gym, has to take care of his younger brothers and sisters, due to the disappearance of his parents. However, his father, Flint, returns to Pewter City and begins looking after Brock's siblings. Brock, hoping to fulfill his own dreams of becoming the world's best Pokémon breeder, joins Ash Ketchum on his journey. Out of all of Ash's traveling companions, Brock has accompanied Ash the most, having traveled alongside him in his journeys through Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh.

Brock is considered the most mature, wise, and level-headed of the main characters. 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 (and to the viewer), probably because he was once a Gym Leader. 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 Advanced Generation, this role was mostly taken over by the Pokénav. He also carries a lot of other supplies, such as potions and cookware, as well as practical tools like a brush and pocket knife. He is a domestic, and 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's biggest weakness is that he loses his composure in the presence of a beautiful woman, especially Nurse Joy or Officer Jenny, whom he considers to be "Two Perfect Girls". His attempts to flirt with these women more often than not end badly for him, and often result in either Misty or Max dragging him away by his ear or his Croagunk using Poison Jab on him.

Trivia

• In the July 2006 issue of K-Zone magazine, Eric Stuart (Brock's original voice actor) stated that Brock's last name is Harrison.
