What Happened To Brock After He Left The Pokemon Anime?
Now that he's returning in a Pokémon Journeys: Arceus special, what becomes of Brock after his journey in the Pokémon anime draws to a close? Trainers of all experience levels will remember the episode where Ash Ketchum met Brock in the Pokémon anime series. Making his debut in episode 5, Brock is balancing duties at Pewter City's gym with caring for his gaggle of younger siblings, but he still manages to easily beat a rookie Ash in battle. By training up his Pikachu, however, Ash eventually wins the Boulder Badge… with a little help from the gym's sprinkler system. Confessing that he'd rather make Pokémon breed than fight (it didn't sound as weird at the time...), Brock joins Ash and Misty on their journey through Kanto.
The Pokémon anime series first tried dropping Brock in season 2's «Adventures in the Orange Islands» arc, presumably due to constant HR complaints from Officer Jenny and Nurse Joy. Fortunately for Brock-heads, his replacement (Tracey Sketchit) proved woefully unpopular, and the Pewter City rock specialist was parachuted back into the Pokémon anime in time for season 3's journey through Johto. Brock would remain among Ash Ketchum's Pokémon companions from The Johto Journeys in 1999 through to season 13 over a decade later, finally departing at the end of Diamond & Pearl: Sinnoh League Victors to study toward becoming a Pokémon doctor.
