*'''More Precious than Victory'''
:''"Our team has worked really hard to make it this far in the tournament. We finally qualified for the second half--for the finals!"''
:''"But now what? Lear has challenged us to a battle we can't refuse. If we lose, he's gonna kick us out of the competition."''
:''"You're right... I'm not happy about the fact that we're being forced into a rematch when we're so close to the finals."''
:''"But it might be a good opportunity for <player> to show off his/her skills. Better be in top shape, though!"''
:''"Lear totally crushed us."''
::'''"Let's beat him!" to Rosa''': ''"Yeah. It's important to the team that we win this battle, but it's more important that we--"''
::'''"I know." to Rosa''': ''"I think <player> realizes that even though winning is important for the team, it's even more important that we--"''
:''"But he's still a Pokémon Trainer, just like us. Part of me wants to believe that deep down he feels the same way we do."''
:''"I think you're the one who's going to have to help him realize that, <player>. He's stuck on you, for whatever reason."''
:''"It's not going to be easy, but one way or another, we have to get through to Lear during our battle."''
:''"We've got to show him that there's more to Pokémon battling than victory alone!"''
:''"There he is."''
:''"Take it easy, Rosa. He's just trying to rile us up."''
:''"Lear, battling is one thing, but threatening to disqualify us because of your personal feelings is wrong. Is that the kind of PML you want to run?"''
:''"<Player>... This isn't the end of the PML for us. There's no way we're giving up now."''
:''"Sometimes battling is the only way to get people to see eye to eye with you."''

*'''Until Next We Battle'''
:''"Lear... You're extremely powerful--there's no doubt about that. Your skills as a Trainer might even surpass <player>'s."''
:''"But he/she has a few things that you don't."''
:''"He/she has the capacity to have FUN in a Pokémon battle...and real friendship...and, most importantly, a real bond with his/her Pokémon."''
:''"Sync stones are what turn the bond between Trainers and Pokémon into power."''
:''"If Lear can't use sync moves, then that means--"''
:''"Lear, you have friends who care about you. Friends who have stuck with you all this time."''
:''"All you have to do is reach out a hand--"''
:''"Maybe we should just give him some space for now..."''
:''"Come on, team. Let's go."''

:''"What's wrong, Rosa? We have to get going."''
:''"Paulo? He must have made it to the finals, too, then. That's great news!"''
:''"I'd like to say hi to him as well, but first we have to line up! Let's go find him after the ceremony."''
:''"Lear's not doing the opening announcement? What's going on?"''
:''"I didn't think I'd see Sawyer being master of ceremonies."''
:''"Could he still be moping around because of our battle? Either way..."''
:''"our first match is about to start! Let's focus on the tournament for now."''
::'''You bet!''': ''"That's the spirit! Let's go for the win!"''
::''"We have to focus if we want to have our rematch with Lear, right?"''
::'''I wonder if Lear is OK.''': ''"It's probably best if we put Lear out of our minds for now--for his sake as well."''
::''"We have to focus if we want to have our rematch with him."''
:''"It's time!"''
*'''Face the Fight: Part 2'''
:''"Yeah, not only was their coordination impeccable...but they looked like they were having a lot of fun during that battle, too!"''
:''"To think our first opponents were that strong... Goes to show you that the finals are no joke!"''
:''"Ha ha! If that's your first reaction after battling, we'll be fine!"''

Brock (Japanese: タケシ Takeshi) is the Gym Leader of Pewter City's Gym, known officially as the Pewter Gym. He gives the Boulder Badge to Trainers who defeat him in battle. He specializes in Rock-type Pokémon.

In the games

Brock appears in Pokémon Red, Blue, Yellow, FireRed, and LeafGreen as the Gym Leader of the Pewter Gym, which is the first Gym that the player challenges on their journey. He is one of the few truly serious professional Pokémon Trainers in the Pewter City area, and many people respect and admire him. He is quite proud of his rock-hard willpower, and uses Rock-type Pokémon to complement this. He rarely laughs or drops his serious demeanor, but when he does, he finds it hard to stop. In his free time, he likes to dig for Fossils in Mt. Moon. In addition to the Boulder Badge, Brock gives out TM34 (Bide) in Red, Blue, and Yellow, TM39 (Rock Tomb) in FireRed and LeafGreen, and TM01 (Headbutt) in Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!.

In Yellow, Brock mentions that he is training to become a Pokémon Breeder, despite breeding not being present in the game. This is a reference to the goals of his anime counterpart.

Three years later, in Pokémon Gold, Silver, Crystal, HeartGold, and SoulSilver, Brock remains the Gym Leader of the Pewter Gym, which can be challenged at any point during the player's travels through Kanto. He is surprised to hear that the player is from the Johto region, and happily accepts their challenge. While he doesn't give out a TM in Gold, Silver, and Crystal, he gives out TM80 (Rock Slide) in HeartGold and SoulSilver.

In HeartGold and SoulSilver, after all 16 Badges have been obtained, Brock can be found in Diglett's Cave near Pewter City on any day between noon and 3 PM, and will offer his Pokégear number if spoken to. If he is called on Saturday nights, he will be up for a rematch at the Fighting Dojo in Saffron City. After his Pokégear number has been obtained, he will reappear in Diglett's Cave every day between 5 PM and 8 PM, and the player can have a photograph taken with him there. If he is spoken to in Diglett's Cave on a Saturday, he will offer to trade a Rhyhorn that knows Thunder Fang for a Bonsly.

In Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, Brock appears alongside the other Gym Leaders of Kanto as an opponent in the Kanto Leaders Tournament at the Pokémon World Tournament. He also participates alongside the Gym Leaders of Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh and Unova in the World Leaders Tournament, and other Rock-type experts in the Rock Type Expert Tournament.

In Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, it is revealed that he obsessed with girls.

Pewter Gym
  • Before battle
"Wow, it's not often that we get a challenger from Johto. I'm Brock, the Pewter Gym Leader. I'm an expert on Rock-type Pokémon. My Pokémon are impervious to most physical attacks. You'll have a hard time inflicting any damage. Come on!"
  • Being defeated
"Your Pokémon's powerful attacks overcame my rock-hard defense... You're stronger than I expected... Go ahead--take this Badge."
  • After battle
"<Player>, thanks. I enjoyed battling you, even though I am a bit upset. That BoulderBadge will make your Pokémon even more powerful."
"The world is huge. There are still many strong trainers like you. Just wait and see. I'm going to become a lot stronger too."

Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen

Pewter Gym
  • Before battle
"So, you're here. I'm Brock. I'm Pewter's Gym Leader. My rock-hard willpower is evident even in my Pokémon. My Pokémon are all rock hard, and have true-grit determination. That's right - my Pokémon are all the Rock type! Fuhaha! You're going to challenge me knowing that you'll lose? That's the Trainer's honor that compels you to challenge me. Fine, then! Show me your best!"
  • Being defeated
"I took you for granted, and so I lost. As proof of your victory, I confer on you this...the official Pokémon League BoulderBadge."

  • After being defeated
"Wait! Take this with you."
"A TM, Technical Machine, contains a technique for Pokémon. Using a TM teaches the move it contains to a Pokémon. A TM is only good for one use. So, when you use one, pick the Pokémon carefully. Anyways... TM39 contains Rock Tomb. It hurls boulders at the foe and lowers its speed."

"If you use a TM, or Technical Machine, you can teach your Pokémon the move within it. A TM can be used as many times as you like, so use it on any Pokémon you want. TM01 contains Headbutt. It deals damage to your opponent's Pokémon by ramming them with a head as hard as rock."
"There are all kinds of people in this huge world of ours. Some have their Pokémon battle—some just like to raise them...

"Oh, and you're probably going to want some tea after eating them. Pewter Crunchies can make you thirsty."

"But now what? Lear has challenged us to a battle we can't refuse. If we lose, he's gonna kick us out of the competition."
"You're right... I'm not happy about the fact that we're being forced into a rematch when we're so close to the finals."
"But it might be a good opportunity for <player> to show off his/her skills. Better be in top shape, though!"
"Lear totally crushed us."
"Let's beat him!" to Rosa: "Yeah. It's important to the team that we win this battle, but it's more important that we--"
"I know." to Rosa: "I think <player> realizes that even though winning is important for the team, it's even more important that we--"
"But he's still a Pokémon Trainer, just like us. Part of me wants to believe that deep down he feels the same way we do."
"I think you're the one who's going to have to help him realize that, <player>. He's stuck on you, for whatever reason."
"It's not going to be easy, but one way or another, we have to get through to Lear during our battle."
"We've got to show him that there's more to Pokémon battling than victory alone!"
"There he is."
"Take it easy, Rosa. He's just trying to rile us up."
"Lear, battling is one thing, but threatening to disqualify us because of your personal feelings is wrong. Is that the kind of PML you want to run?"
"<Player>... This isn't the end of the PML for us. There's no way we're giving up now."
"Sometimes battling is the only way to get people to see eye to eye with you."
Regardless of choice: "Yeah! Let's show Lear how strong our team's bond has become!"
  • Until Next We Battle
"Lear... You're extremely powerful--there's no doubt about that. Your skills as a Trainer might even surpass <player>'s."
"But he/she has a few things that you don't."
"He/she has the capacity to have FUN in a Pokémon battle...and real friendship...and, most importantly, a real bond with his/her Pokémon."

"If Lear can't use sync moves, then that means--"
"Lear, you have friends who care about you. Friends who have stuck with you all this time."
"All you have to do is reach out a hand--"
"Maybe we should just give him some space for now..."
"Come on, team. Let's go."

"I'd like to say hi to him as well, but first we have to line up! Let's go find him after the ceremony."
"Lear's not doing the opening announcement? What's going on?"
"I didn't think I'd see Sawyer being master of ceremonies."
"Could he still be moping around because of our battle? Either way..."

In the anime

In the main series

Main article: Brock (anime)

In the anime, like later Gym Leaders, Brock appeared primarily as an opponent to Ash Ketchum in his debut episode; unlike later Gym Leaders, he requested to join Ash on his journey, aiming to be the world's greatest Pokémon Breeder. In doing so, Brock left the Gym in the hands of his father, Flint, who had finally revealed himself to have returned from his journey. Brock advised Ash throughout the Kanto region, then left briefly during the Orange Archipelago arc to assist Professor Ivy. He returned to Ash's side in Johto, and with brief returns to Pewter City at the end of each series, joined him for his journeys in Hoenn and Sinnoh as well; however, he now wants to become a Pokémon Doctor.

Brock mainly provides an advisory role to the other main characters of the anime, being several years older than the rest of them. His knowledge of Pokémon battles is great, causing him to often referee matches between Ash and others. Brock also fancies himself as something of a ladies' man, though each time he hits on someone he is either rejected outright; pulled away by Misty or Max; or, more recently, Poison Jabbed by his Croagunk.


In Pokémon Origins

Brock in Pokémon Origins

In Pokémon Origins, Brock is the only Gym Leader to have a key role other than Giovanni. Much like his role in the games, Brock is the Gym Leader of the Pewter Gym.

Brock is first seen in File 1: Red, watching a Pokémon battle between Red and Blue. After Red is defeated, Brock talks to Red and teaches him about the basics of Pokémon battling and training.

Later, Red discovers that Brock is the Gym Leader of Pewter City and goes to challenge Brock to earn his first Badge. There, they have a Gym battle in which Brock teaches Red about type matchups and strategy. Brock is shown to have many Pokémon, and selects Geodude and Onix when Red confirms that he has no Badges. This implies that all Gym Leaders have Pokémon of varying strengths in reserve in order to keep each challenge a fair fight. After a tough battle, Red eventually defeats Brock by using all of his Pokémon to slowly weaken Brock's Onix until it falls. Having lost the battle, Brock awards Red with the Boulder Badge and TM34 (Bide).

Unlike most other characters in Pokémon Origins, whose designs were based on their Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen designs, Brock's design is more akin to his Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver design.

Brock appeared in the Pokémon Masters Animated Trailer, where he joined Scottie and Rosa in a journey across Pasio. In a forest, the trio came across Erika, a Beauty, and a Lass; and battled their Vileplume, Lotad, and Whimsicott, respectively. His Onix was ensnared in Whimsicott's Leech Seed, but Rosa's Snivy managed to free it. Afterwards, Brock healed Snivy with a Potion after it was injured by Lotad's Energy Ball. Brock's group soon came out victorious, after which Erika joined them on their journey.

Brock and his Geodude

Aside from being a Gym Leader, Brock also works as a security guard at the Pewter Museum of Science.

History

Red, Green & Blue arc

Brock debuts in Onix Is On!, though he is mentioned earlier by Blue in Wanted: Pikachu!, who described him as being bored by no one being able to defeat him, or even get past the preliminaries. To gain access to Brock, a Trainer must win several rounds of battles against special Trainers of the Gym, and all of those battles are watched by him from a special room.

Brock is a brave Trainer, and he assists Erika and Misty in their battles against Team Rocket. He also gave Yellow a Graveler after the good Gym Leaders of Kanto battled Agatha's mind-controlling Gastly. However, he is also shown to be quick to anger and restless in his search for a good battle, and when discovering that Red's Pika, the only remaining Pokémon of his, was disobedient, deemed his wins "dumb luck" and sought for a finisher attack instantly. However, when the boy begins to gain his Pokémon's trust, it chooses to fight for him and defeats his Onix.

Yellow arc

After Blaine figured out that Red must have been at Mt. Moon before going missing, Brock volunteered to search there, since Mt. Moon is closest to Pewter City. He then found a cast of Red frozen in ice there and contacted Blaine. Before all of the information could be exchanged, he found out that Pewter City was under attack by a group of Bruno's Machop that was searching for Brock's Boulder Badge, and he left to protect it.

Gold, Silver & Crystal arc

A few years later, he, along with Erika and Misty, traveled to Johto for the Gym Leader Tournament at the Indigo Plateau, where he faced off against the expert of the newly discovered Steel-type, Jasmine. He lost the match and later fought against Team Rocket on the Magnet Train.

Geodude (×6)
Main article: Brock's Geodude

Brock owns six Geodude, nicknamed Geoone, Geotwo, Geothree, and so on. One of them appeared in Onix Is On! watching the battles with his Trainer. The other five first appeared in Putting It On The Line...Against Arcanine. They often grasp each others' wrists in order to circle around Brock to protect him. During the Gold, Silver & Crystal arc, they used their Magnitude to stop the Magnet Train. However, the impact sent it off course, causing it to almost crash before it was saved by Red's Snorlax.

Debut Onix Is On!
Brock's Onix
Onix
Main article: Brock's Onix

Onix is arguably Brock's most powerful Pokémon and is apparently well known for its speed, which causes shock waves when it moves. Onix was first used in battle against Red's Pika. Despite the type advantage, Onix was defeated by the small Electric type after it came to fight for Red of its own will. Three years later, Onix was sent out by Brock to use as a bridge when a bridge in the Tohjo Falls went out while Brock, Erika and Misty were heading to Johto, during which Misty is joined by Suicune. However, it itself collapsed when they were all attacked by a large group of Zubat, Golbat and Crobat. Once the group finally made it to the Indigo Plateau, Brock used Onix in his battle with Jasmine. It lost to Jasmine's Steelix, which he initially mistook as an Onix of a different variety due to its rock covering used to hide the fact that it was a new, undiscovered species at the time.

Brock met Kabutops when it was a Kabuto in the Pewter Museum of Science during the Elite Four's invasion of Kanto, and received and later evolved it for protecting it during the ordeal. It knows many ancient attacks and is a very powerful member of Brock's team; it was able to easily hold its own against Jasmine's Amphy, nearly winning him the match despite the type disadvantage.

Kabutops's only known move is Ancient Power, and its Ability is Battle Armor.

Brock debuted in Take Out The Rival Onix!!. Before Red arrived in Pewter City, Green got there and took Brock on. However, Brock was brutally strong as he managed to knock Green and his Charmander back into a window. The impact caused him to tell Red about Brock's strength. Despite Green's advice, Red decided to go to the Gym anyway. Red noticed Brock's collection of Pokémon he had caught over the years and one of them turned out to be Clefairy's cousin, Pikachu. Brock then came and Red had his first Gym battle with him. Red used Clefairy while Brock used Onix. Clefairy managed to defeat Onix by having it chase its own tail, earning Red the Boulder Badge.

Brock reappeared in Clefairy, Form Teacher Of Class 1P!! in a form of a cameo. He was seen wearing his outfit from Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen.
