Pokemon: What Did Brock & Misty Do After Leaving Ash?
It's impossible to imagine Ash getting very far in the Indigo League without the help of his trusty companions Brock and Misty. While perhaps stealing and then wrecking someone's bike to make a lifelong friend isn't actually very good advice, this is what got the Cerulean City gym leader and Water Pokemon master Misty along for the ride.

Despite Brock holding the record for being the second-most seen character in episodes of the anime, both he and Misty drifted away to do their own things while Ash adventured across nine separate regions and the Orange Archipelago.
