Brock in the Pokémon TV Show

Brock first appears in the early Pokémon TV series. When we first meet him, he has many younger brothers and sisters. He was in charge of them and took care of them. His mom, Lola, was away, and his dad, Flint, had left home.

After Flint came back, Brock was able to join Ash and Misty. They traveled together through the Kanto region. He later left the group for a short time to work with Professor Ivy in the Orange Islands. But he soon returned and continued his adventures with Ash. They explored the Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh regions together. Brock often uses Rock-type Pokémon like Geodude and Onix. He also has other Pokémon, such as Zubat.
