Then, Ash battles Brock again. Pikachu Thunderbolts the whole field. When Ash is about to lose again, Brock stops the battle. Then, a fire broke out and water came down. Ash was going to defeat Brock when Brock's siblings stop him. Ash leaves the Gym but Brock catches up to him and gives Ash the Boulder Badge. The mysterious man from earlier turns out to be Brock's father and takes over the Gym for Brock. Brock decides to join Ash on his journey. | ||||
