When Brock returns to his hometown after his journey in Johto in A Family That Battles Together Stays Together!, Forrest was happy to see his older brother return alongside his father Flint who warns Brock not to come back due to his wife Lola redecorating the Pewter Gym into an aquatic gym.

Brock was told by his younger sister that Forrest wanted to become the next Gym Leader, much to his surprise.

That night, Forrest was later convinced by Brock about his dream to become the Gym Leader and knowing that he can do it, also tells him that Rock-type Pokémon will win one day. The next day, Forrest was later amazed to see Brock battling their mother for the gym using Onix against her Mantine who manages to defeat it and finally reclaim its former glory, and was happy to see the rock-type beat a water-type. After his father Flint failed to uphold the ideals of the Pewter Gym, Brock left Forrest in charge of the gym as the Gym Leader and he happily lent his Onix to him which is a surprise to him, and he tells him that Onix is well-trained, much to his happiness.

Forrest became the judge of the battle between Ash and Brock against a disguised Jessie and James who uses both Butch and Cassidy's Aggron and Charizard to fight their Pokémon Steelix and Donphan. When Max informs them that Meowth from Team Rocket is stealing the Pewter Gym's Poké Balls and both Jessie and James' disguised are now blown by two Pokémon to finally reveal themselves. Forrest becomes mad when Meowth was lying that he didn't steal it, but he recognizes his face and releases Geodude to use Tackle on Meowth when he reveals their motives of stealing. Both Brock and Forrest are mad for what they have done as Brock calls Team Rocket a disgrace. Forrest also became furious after seeing what they have done, stating that trying to steal the Pokémon was unforgivable, and angrily challenged them, much to Brock's surprise. Forrest then has Geodude use Sandstorm on Team Rocket. Steelix and Geodude use Iron Tail and Mega Punch, respectively towards both the Pokémon to knock them down until they are blasted off by Pikachu's Thunderbolt followed by Donphan's Hyper Beam, Steelix's Dragon Breath and Geodude's Sandstorm. Brock was impressed to see Forrest in action, and Forrest became happy with his elder brother's compliment. Forrest and his family later bid farewell to Brock, Ash, May, and Max who are now travelling to find the Battle Pyramid which is manned by Pyramid King Brandon to get the last and final symbol.

At the time of Brock's journey in Sinnoh, his father Flint gives his Rhydon to Forrest which later evolved into a Rhyperior under his care. When Brock later returned from Sinnoh while studying as a Pokémon Doctor, he discovered that Forrest's right to be the Pewter Gym Leader was under contest. Forrest fights Nurse Joy from the PIA using his Rhyperior while being supported by his family and Brock's Pokémon. After Forrest fought a well-fought battle with his Rhyperior against Nurse Joy's Latias, he lost the fight, but was given the official title of Gym Leader due to his battle expertise, and Nurse Joy allows him to continue running the Pewter Gym.
