| ~ Brock to Ash about summer in "The Ghost of Maiden's Peak" |
Brock (Japanese: タケシ Takeshi) is the best (human) friend and former traveling partner of Ash Ketchum, and the tetragonist of original Pokemon anime series, the Advanced Generation anime series and the Diamond and Pearl anime series. He originally trained Rock-type Pokémon, but has, since the second episode he appeared in, diversified. As he has stated in "Battling A Cute Drama!", his philosophy is that the important thing about being a Pokémon Trainer is the bond between Trainer and Pokémon. He is an experienced cook and caretaker by nature, so he always makes scrumptious food both for Pokémon and for humans.
One of his best known character traits is that he falls in love with every pretty woman he meets, particularly Officer Jenny and Nurse Joy, but was constantly put a stop by Misty, Max, or Croagunk. He can tell whether they are real (women) or impostors as well. This "ability" has been used multiple times in the series. He has always held a supporting role in the series, usually contributing more in terms of wisdom and comedic antics than the action and battles of the series. Usually, Brock is obsessed with the girls in each episode of Pokémon franchise.
In Pokémon Sun and Moon Third season, Brock finally gets a girlfriend from one of the island’s Kunkans, Olivia.
He is voiced by Yūji Ueda in the Japanese version, was voiced by Eric Stuart, who also voices Seto Kaiba from Yu-Gi-Oh!, in the 4Kids English version and is currently voiced by Bill Rogers in the TPCi English version.
