The anime[]

Brock in 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 (no relation to the Elite Four member of the same name), 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. In the Orange Islands season, he was replaced by Tracey Sketchit since Brock stayed with Professor Ivy at that time. By the end of Diamond and Pearl, Brock decided to become a Pokémon Doctor and parted ways from traveling with Ash.

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 Ruby and Sapphire, 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 his "Two Perfect Girls" (in the Japanese version, he has a similar song Brock's Paradise). 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.

Brock would later make guest/minor/cameo appearances after the end of Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl. He would reunite with Ash and Misty in Pokémon: To Be a Pokémon Master.

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.
  • Brock and his Onix were planned to have a cameo in the film Space Jam: A New Legacy, in a scene where Bugs Bunny and LeBron James find Daffy Duck challenging him, sending out Porky Pig (as "Pork-achu") against them. Due to rewrites, however, the scene was ultimately replaced with Bugs and LeBron instead finding Daffy in the DC Animated Universe.
