(Clip from the episode "Pokeball Peril")
Brock: This ship needs a captain. If I stay here, I'll get to learn more and more about Pokemon every day. And I think these guys may need me more than you guys do.

Narrator: Brock, the Pokemon breeder from Pewter City. In his first year- and-a-half on the show, he created quite a following for himself. But trouble started brewing in the second season.
Nurse Joy: Who'd of thought Brock was really in love with me?
Officer Jenny: And me too!
Narrator: While Brock's character had always been gaga over the two helpful women on the show, in real life, he was in love with them too.
Nurse Joy: When Brock asked me out, I kinda laughed at him and said it was cute. I never meant to hurt his feelings.
Narrator: But Brock's feelings were hurt. He saw his role on the show as a mockery of himself. He could no longer take it. Brock decided to leave the show.
Samuel Oak: At first, I didn't take him serious. Then he just packed up his stuff and left. I had to quickly write him a farewell episode, convince him to do one final show, and that was it. He was gone.
Ash: "Who needs him?" I said. We could do this show just fine without him. Boy was I wrong....
With Brock's acting days over, he could now follow his true dream. And that dream was to be a lounge singer in Las Vegas.

Brock: Jenny, oh Jenny! Joy, oh Joy! A one-woman man's what I wanna be, But there's two perfect girls for me!

Narrator: With Brock out of the picture, the producers knew they would need a replacement for him on the show. When "Pokemon: Behind the Cartoon" continues, we'll take a look at what happened when Tracey Sketchit joined the cast of the show, and the ensuing scandal that would almost lead to the demise of the show.
