Soren (left) and Rocko (right)

Soren (Japanese: ソラン Soran) and Rocko (Japanese: リーク Rīku) are the characters of the day in A Surface to Air Tag Battle Team!. They are brothers, with Soren being the elder one. Soren claims to be "master of the sky", whereas Rocko is the "master of the ground". They have been shown to have great teamwork in their tag battles. However, as with all siblings, they often get into fights if something goes wrong; in this case, losing a battle. Apparently, they do not wish to compete in the Pokémon League because they only participate in tag battles.

While walking though a field on their journey, Ash, Iris and Cilan were confronted by a Drilbur and a Braviary. These belonged to Soren and Rocko, who revealed themselves from their hiding place. After their introduction, they challenged Ash and his friends to a tag battle, claiming they were the greatest tag-battling brothers in the world. Soren even said they easily defeated the Subway Bosses, Emmet and Ingo, though Rocko revealed that was merely in their fantasy.

Soren and Rocko were excited to hear Cilan is a Gym Leader and so they wanted to battle against him and Ash. While Soren and Rocko chose Braviary and Drilbur to battle, Ash and Cilan decided to go with Unfezant and Pansage. At first, Ash and Cilan were surprised by the unique combinations of the brothers, but after taking some hits, they countered with their own combinations and eventually won. This loss made the brothers upset, and they started to blame it on each other's Pokémon. Cilan offered his help however, and evaluated the Pokémon of the siblings, respectively. He came to the conclusion that each of them needed to catch a Water-type Pokémon to battle perfectly, because then they would have full coverage over land, sky and water.

Cilan and the brothers went fishing and they quickly came across a male and a female Frillish. They wanted to catch them, but the brothers started arguing again on what combination to use to attack the Frillish. This made the Frillish attack first and escape. Shortly after that, a Buizel and Corphish appeared. This time, the brothers worked together perfectly, even deciding who would catch which Pokémon. Soren managed to catch Buizel, while Rocko succeeded in catching Corphish. They sincerely thanked Cilan for his help and after that said goodbye to him, Ash and Iris.
