In the fictional world of Pokémon, Brock (Takeshi in the Japanese version) is (or was, in the animated series) the Pewter City Gym Leader. He is also known in the animated series as the character whose eyes appear to be closed all the time.
In the animated series, he aspires to be the greatest Pokémon Breeder, and gives up his title of Gym Leader as Ash Ketchum is winning his first Kanto League gym badge. Since then, he travelled with Ash and Misty on his many adventures. He briefly left the team to join Professor Felina Ivy in the Orange Islands, but mysteriously returns to Pallet Town when Ash wins the Orange League championship. Rejoining Ash and Misty, Brock travels to Johto, where he continues to help Ash and Misty. Upon the conclusion of the Silver Conference, the three part ways, Brock heading back to Pewter City. It is there (in an episode that did not air in English) that he discovers his estranged mother, who, because she is a Water Pokémon Trainer, has ruined the reputation of the Gym he defended so long ago. By defeating his estranged mother, he restores the Gym's reputation, and proceeds to leave all his Pokémon (except Forretress) to one of his younger brothers before departing for the Hoenn region, where he catches up with Ash and his two new friends, May and Max.
During this time, both Brock's father, Flint, and his oldest younger brother have taken the role of Gym Leader in Pewter City, as well as the responsibility of caring for his many other younger siblings.
Brock has a crush on virtually every girl his age or older he meets and is usually met by rejection, confusion or being carried off by Misty. A mysterious exception was Professor Ivy, the Pokémon Professor from the Orange Islands, and her three assitants, who he spent some time with away from the show, he later returns just as mysteriously yet refuses to explain why, simply getting queasy at reminiscing about it.
Brock's Pokémon
Brock's Pokémon are mainly of the rock and ground varieties, although as a breeder, Brock has steadily trained Pokémon of other types (most notably, the Pokémon he acquires in the Hoenn region are, ironically, of water type). The Pokémon that he has had at one point in the animated series include:
- Onix - The very first Pokémon Brock started with, Onix is also somewhat hydrophobic. Its power varies between episodes, being able to hold its own against stronger Pokémon while being easily knocked out by weak Pokémon.
- Geodude - One of Brock's Pokémon that he had as a Gym Leader
- Zubat - A Pokémon Brock catches as he was travelling through Mt. Moon.
- Vulpix - Given to him by Suzie, another Pokémon breeder, Vulpix is a powerful Fire Pokémon that Brock regularly grooms. However, Brock has always considered Vulpix to be Suzie's Pokémon that Brock has "borrowed". He gives it back to her when they meet again.
- Golbat - evolved from Zubat, Golbat is Brock's most loyal Pokémon. Its Supersonic attack has been known to overload computer sensors.
- Pineco - A Pokémon Brock catches with a Fast Ball, and the only Pokémon that Brock catches in Johto, Pineco uses its Self-Destruct attack as a sign of affection.
- Crobat - evolved from Golbat, Crobat is the fastest Pokémon on Brock's team.
- Forretress - Evolved from Pineco, Forretress is the Pokémon Brock brings to Hoenn, leaving his other Pokémon (Onix, Geodude, and Crobat) with his younger brother.
- Lotad - The first Pokémon that Brock captures in Hoenn, Lotad is an eccentric Pokémon who is constantly dreaming, to the point that many find it humorous. Its arsenal of moves is also unconventional.
- Mudkip - Mudkip is one of the parental figure Pokémon on Brock's team, and, along with Ash's Pikachu, is one of the Pokémon leaders when away from their trainers.
- Lombre - Lotad's somewhat more dependable evolved form.
