Their first appearance was in ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]''. While {{an|Misty}} was heading back to [[Cerulean City]], the brothers challenged her, {{an|Brock}}, and {{Ash}} to a match, but Ash and his friends won. It is later revealed that the three Fighting Brothers were acquainted with [[Jessie]], [[James]] and {{MTR}} of the sinister [[Team Rocket]], but Team Rocket had broken a promise the Fighting Brothers made with them. Team Rocket promised they'd give the brothers some gold. The brothers were prompted to turn on Team Rocket after Team Rocket broke the promise. After Ash and his friends got free from the net Team Rocket trapped them in, they sent Team Rocket and the Fighting Brothers blasting off.

In revenge, they planned to sabotage the [[Pokémon Inspection Agency|PIA]] test Misty took, strip Misty's title of [[Gym Leader]] and take over the [[Cerulean Gym]], using dirty tactics in their battle against Misty, such as using three Tentacruel at once on [[Misty's Corsola]], Kim's {{p|Hitmonchan}} faking drowning to draw [[Misty's Staryu]] off guard and using three Tentacruel to attack Gyarados and then Misty. Not only were they defeated and "blasted off" in the end by Misty's newly-acquired {{TP|Misty|Gyarados}}, they received possibly the capital punishment for all Pokémon Trainers: they were banned from all official Pokémon League matches for life.

Kail, Kim, and Kai

The Invincible Pokémon Brothers (Japanese: ポケモン最強ブラザーズ Strongest Pokémon Brothers), also called the Three Fighting Brothers (Japanese: カンフー三兄弟 Three Kung fu Brothers) are a trio of brothers that own Fighting-type Pokémon. Their names are Kim (Japanese: ブルース・チャン Chan Bruce), Kai (Khan in Chronicles, Japanese: ブルース・シャン Shan Bruce), and Kail (Kam in Chronicles, Japanese: ブルース・リン Rin Bruce). Kim is the short one, Kai is the fat one and Kail is the tall one.

History

Their first appearance was in Gotta Catch Ya Later!. While Misty was heading back to Cerulean City, the brothers challenged her, Brock, and Ash to a match, but Ash and his friends won. It was later revealed that the three Fighting Brothers were acquainted with Jessie, James and Meowth of the sinister Team Rocket, but Team Rocket had broken a promise the Fighting Brothers made with them. Team Rocket promised they would give the brothers some gold. The brothers were prompted to turn on Team Rocket after Team Rocket broke the promise. After Ash and his friends got free from the net Team Rocket trapped them in, they sent Team Rocket and the Fighting Brothers blasting off.

They appeared again in Cerulean Blues. In revenge, they planned to sabotage the PIA test Misty took, strip Misty's title of Gym Leader and take over the Cerulean Gym. They used dirty tactics in their battle against Misty, such as using three Tentacruel at once on Misty's Corsola, Kim's Hitmonchan faking drowning to draw Misty's Staryu off guard and using their three Tentacruel to attack Gyarados and then Misty. However, it is possible that besides being defeated and "blasted off" in the end by Misty's newly-acquired Gyarados, they received the capital punishment for all Pokémon Trainers: they were banned from all official Pokémon League matches for life.
