Character Profile: Brock

"Will you go out with me???!!!!"
-Brock

Brock was the Gym Leader of Pewter City. He is the son of Flint and Lola of, and has five brothers (Forest, Salvadore, Tommy, Timmy, and Billy)  and four sisters (Yolande, Cindy. Suzie, and Tilly). For most of his early life he took care of his siblings, as both his mother and father just walked up and left one day to pursue becoming a pokemon trainer. Although seemingly abandoned by their parents, brock did his best to run the Pewter City Gym, as well as taking care of his younger brothers and sisters. He cooked, cleaned, and took care of them....by the parent that the kids needed.

After the his initial confrontation with Ash, his father resurfaced. He scolded his father for abandoning them and told him that it was high time for him to accept his responsibility. Although he would deeply miss his family, he could finally pursue his dream and journeyed with Ash. He always wanted to become a Pokemon Breeder, and his skills with taking care of his family came in handy both in the care of Pokemon and watching over Ash and company. Throughout the series, he is the steady rock that the team depends on.

The odd part of the series is that at various times, Brock is overly obsessed with Nurse Joy and Officer Jenny, and at time with other ladies with "romantic" and requited love. It as if he is trying to hard, covering something else up? Either way, as most can guess... something is up with Brock and there is plenty of fan fics that cough reveal the subtext of his behavior.


When you fold the scene, and interesting Pic emerges!

Either way Brock is a great individual for his qualities of compassion, responsibility, and deep dedication to his friends. Although things hold him back, he always tries and tries to find his dream... whether it is being a pokemon breeder/scientist or finding his place in the world. The sad thing is, that despite all these qualities, the only thing Brock wants desperately is acknowledgment and love from someone he deeply cares for, perhaps that why he feel most comfortable with Pokemon for they at least appreciate his efforts.Despite whatever things that comes his way he always takes things on with a passion and dedication.
