CHAPTER 1
*BOOM* The explosion felt around the world. It has been 20 long years since Brock's journey with Ash Ketchum ended, and for the first time, he was going to have another great adventure.
For eight years now, Brock Harrison had been the gym leader of Pewter City after his parents moved to Goldenrod City. He liked his position and he was really good at it, but he preferred his other job, breeding. People came from all around the world to either fight him or to have him care for their Pokemon. They came from Cinnabar, Jubilife, Mahogany, and even the far off Dewford Town, just to see Brock. Brock and his wife, Janyce, would also constantly tour the globe with their three children -- Sammy, Felina, and Elmer -- in search of brave challengers or desperate trainers who needed help. He fought an old man's Tropius near Fortree City and defeated it with his Steelix's Dragonbreath. He fought a bug catcher's Vespiquen in the Eterna Woods and defeated it with his Swampert's Water Pulse. He cared for a young lass's ill Igglybuff and Azurill near Mauville City with the help of his caring Chansey's Heal Bell, among many others.
Brock currently had seventeen Pokemon, all of which he carried with him everywhere he went. He had:
a Steelix, his secret weapon;
a Swampert, his water powerhouse;
a Chansey, his gentle, yet strong, teammate;
a Forretress, his explosive creature;
an Exeggutor, his grassy psychic type who teleports them everywhere;
a Hariyama, his weapon of strength;
a Ludicolo, the underestimated energetic member of his team;
a Ditto, his last resort;
a Typhlosion, his fierce, aggressive, and short-tempered battler;
a Crobat, his winged powerhouse;
a Froslass, his newest Pokemon who has major trust issues;
a Toxicroak, his poisonous weapon;
a Minun, his cute, electrical teammate whom he found abandoned outside the gym and has cared for it ever since;
a Sudowoodo, his affectionate, perseverant fighter;
a Gabite, one of Brock's newest Pokemon who proves strong in battle;
a Graveler, his first Pokemon he ever obtained who is now the strongest member on his team;
and a Combee, his little bug Pokemon who never gives up.
Anyways, back to the explosion. It happened at 2:30 A.M. in Goldenrod City while Brock and his family were having their family reunion. The explosion was on the 5th floor of the Goldenrod Hotel, the same floor Brock and his family were on. Brock woke up immediately after the explosion and watched as he and his entire family were all blown off in different directions.
