Brock (game)

"I'm Brock! I'm the Pewter's Gym Leader! I believe in rock hard defense and determination! That's why my Pokémon are all Rock-type! Do you still want to challenge me? Fine then! Show me your best!"

- Brock in Pokémon Yellow

Brock (タケシ Takeshi) serves as the Gym Leader at the Pewter City Gym, and holds the Boulder Badge for the trainers that defeat him in a Pokémon battle. In the Pokémon games, Brock specializes in and only uses Rock-type Pokémon.

In the anime series, Brock was the longest lasting traveling companion to travel with the Trainer Ash Ketchum. Brock, as well as Dawn, separated from Ash when their journey in Sinnoh ended. In the Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Special Episode 2, he has photos of Ash, Misty, May, Max and Dawn reminding him of his journeys with them.

Appearance
Brock is a teenager with brown hair and black eyes. He is the tallest of all of Ash's friends and wants to be a Pokémon breeder. He has a very motherly attitude when cooking or doing housework for his large family, but when he is swimming, he always takes off his shirt in the hopes of charming girls with his abdominal muscles.

In Games
Brock, in the main series Pokémon games, has always been featured as the Pewter City Gym Leader. He first appeared in the original games, and later on, an older version of Brock was seen in Pokémon Gold and Silver.

Brock was again the Pewter Gym Leader in the Red and Blue remakes, Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, with an updated appearance.

An updated version of the Gen II Brock is seen in the remakes; Heartgold and Soulsilver.
