After bidding farewell to Luna, Tomo and Misty, Brock was on his way back to Pewter City.

While Brock was looking through the forest he heard some roaring noises, "That sounded like a Tyranitar." He said.

He remembered what a Tyranitar's roar sounded like, because of the mother Tyranitar he and the gang met before, and he rushed to see what was going on.

What he saw was a Tyranitar, but he also saw his dad, Flint, with it.

"Hey dad." Brock said.

Flint saw Brock and said hello to him as well.

"Is this Tyranitar yours dad?" He asked.

"Yes and she's a real fighter," Flint answered, "and there's no doubt her five Larvitars will become real fighters too when they evolved."

"You mean this Tyranitar is a mother Tyranitar?" Brock asked.

Flint explained that a few months ago he was training in the mountains with his Onix and Golem. But then he heard some crying. "It sounded like some Pokémon were crying and I went to see what was going on. But when I did I saw something terrible, I saw Tyranitar with a bleeding leg and the crying was from her five baby Larvitars. I called Nurse Joy at once and thanks to her Tyranitar was safe and healed and the Larvitars were okay too."

"I take it you decided to catch Tyranitar after she healed?" Brock asked.

"Yes and her Larvitars as well," Flint said, "Forrest, Salvadore, Yolanda, Tommy and Cindy became friends with the Larvitars and they wanted to keep them. So I captured both Tyranitar and the five Larvitars, so that Tyranitar and the Larvitars wouldn't have to leave each other."

"I understand," Brock said, "so how is everybody?"

"We are doing great," Flint said, "and your brothers and sisters love the new Pokémon you had been capturing on your journeys. Oh and your new rock Pokémon Rhyhorn, Rhydon, Sudowoodo, Kabuto, Omanyte, seven Shuckle, Magcargo, Corsola, Baltoy and Camerupt had been a hit in the gym. The trainers love battling against them."

"I'm happy to hear that." Brock said.

When Flint and Brock arrived at the house, Brock was welcomed home by his siblings at once, they had missed him.

His mum, Lola, greeted him too.

"Hey mum, how you feeling?" Brock asked.

Lola had a weak health and she was on medication.

"Don't you worry Brock," Lola answered, "your Aimpom and two Chanseys have been a big help to me around the house. Although there is something about one of the Chanseys you should know."

A Blissey came out of the kitchen as well as a Chansey and Aimpom, one of Brock's Chansey had evolved.

Brock was amazed with having his own Blissey, but there was another surprise in the house

Lola had a Miltank with her and she explained that she needed to drink moomoo milk every day for her health, "Nurse Joy called a friend of hers from Johto and asked her to catch a Miltank for me, so the kids and I can have moomoo milk every day and we don't need to buy it from the shops everyday."

Brock understood and was happy to have Miltank as part of the family.

Brock's siblings introduced Brock to their new Larvitars and Lola explained that they played with Growlithe and Ninetails all the time.

Forrest also introduced Brock to his new Geodude that Flint gave him on his eleventh birthday.

Brock was relieved that everything had been okay while he was gone.

Brock's other Pokémon were in the Pewter Gym, he had Steelix, Graveller, Crobat, Forretress, Stantler and Weepinbell on him.

There had been a little change to the gym; the inside of the gym, where the battle field was had been painted a grey stone colour. "When you told us about your Onix being a Steelix, we decided to add a little grey to the gym," Flint said, "what do you think?"

"I like it," Brock said, "besides you do get grey coloured rocks apart from the usual brown yellow rocks."

There was a surprise for Brock when he saw his Pokémon, his Diglett was now a Dugtrio and his Omanyte and Kabuto were now Omastar and Kabutops.

"Wow, are there any more surprises for me to know about?" Brock asked.

"No there isn't." Flint chuckled.

That evening, while the family were having dinner, Brock told his whole family about all of his adventures through Kanto and Johto, with his friends Luna, Tomo and Misty, and about staying with a Professor in the Orange Islands.

"You've certainly been through a lot on your journey son." Flint said.

"I have," Brock replied, "and I learnt a lot of new things too."

"We are glad that you have enjoyed your journeys," Lola said, "and we are also sorry that you weren't able to go on a journey when you were ten, because you had to help me take care of the house and your siblings."

This was true, as Brock's family was a big one and that his parents had been suffering from illnesses, he couldn't start going on Pokémon journeys as a ten year old. He had to stay home and help his mum with all the housework and looking after his brothers and sisters.

"That's okay mum," Brock said with a smile, "as long as you and dad get better, I would do anything to help out with the family."

Flint and Lola were happy to have a good son like Brock.

"Hey Brock, is it true that Luna is the youngest to win the Kanto and Johto Conferences in a row?" Forrest asked.

"Huh?" Brock said, "Yeah she is. Luna first won the Indigo Plateau Conference at 11, when she was travelling the in Orange Island she won the Orange League at 12 and now she won the Silver Conference at 13."

The family was amazed by Luna's achievement at a young age.

"She is achieving her dream so far so good."

"Really?!" The children's shouted out, "What's her dream?!"

Brock chuckled, "Her dream is to become a Pokémon Master." He said, "Apparently she has a new dream in Hoenn is to become a Top Pokémon Coordinator."

"Oh wow." Forrest said and everyone agreed.

"I heard of Pokémon Coordinator, they focus on the Pokémon's appeal and style." Lola explained, "The coordinators must show off the Pokémon mostly."

So the story was told.

That night, after Brock's siblings went to bed, Flint and Lola were talking to Brock in the living room.

Flint and Lola had emailed Brock, before he left Luna, Tomo and Misty, to come home and wanted to talk to him about something important.

Brock was worried, he hoped that nothing else was wrong with his parents as they had already suffered a lot.

"Brock there is something that your mother and I wish to discuss with you." Flint said.

"Is something wrong?" Brock asked.

"Well dear," Lola said, "do you remember when your father had to have a surgery on his heart before you started traveling?"

"Yes, I do," Brock said, "is your heart bad again dad?"

"Well it's not as bad as it was before," Flint said, "but when I visited a doctor a few days ago, he said that I needed to step down from being the gym leader of Pewter Gym. My heart is not as strong as it used to be and I need to rest my heart more, and as you know that being a gym leader won't help."

"So do you want me to be the gym leader again dad?" Brock asked.

"No Brock," Lola said, "as we know that your dream is to become a Pokémon doctor, your father and I decided to have Forrest become the new Pewter Gym leader."

"That's right," Flint said, "because he loves the Pewter Gym and all rock Pokémon as much as I do. And he has become quite the Pokémon trainer. So what do you think Brock?"

"I call it a great idea," Brock said, "and I'm sure that Forrest would be happy with being the new gym leader."

Brock was right, when he, Flint and Lola told Forrest the next day about their decision of him being the gym leader, Forrest beamed.

"I will do whatever I can to be a great gym leader for the Pewter Gym." Forrest said.

"And we will help you Forrest." Salvador said.

The other siblings offered to help out too.

So it was arranged, Forrest wold become the new Pewter Gym leader.

Brock, Flint and Lola agreed that the gym would be in good hands with Forrest.

Suddenly where was a sort of stampede coming from outside.

"What's going on?" Brock said.

"I don't know," Flint said, "but we better see."

Brock, Flint and Forrest went to see what the noise was and Lola and the rest of the siblings stayed in the house.

A grey and silver Pokémon that looked like a dinosaur was rampaging in the area, close to the gym.

"What Pokémon is that?" Forrest asked.

"That's an Aggron," Flint said, "a rock and steel type Pokémon. You usually see these in the Hoenn region, it's surprisingly that there is one here though."

"Yeah, but we should deal with it before it causes damage." Brock said. He sent out Graveller, while Flint sent out Tyranitar and Forrest sent out Geodude.

Brock ordered Graveller to use dynamic punch, Flint ordered Tyranitar to use hyper beam and Forrest ordered Geodude to use rock smash.

After being hit by focus punch, hyper beam and rock smash, the Aggron was defeated.

"We better catch it before it wakes up." Forrest said.

"Yes and I have the perfect PokéBall for it." Brock said. He took out his heavy ball and used it to capture Aggron.

Aggron was caught in a few seconds.

"Now Aggron won't be causing any more trouble." Brock smiled, picking up the ball of his new Pokémon.

Next day after everything was clear, Brock got ready to set off to Hoenn, he wanted to travel with Luna and Tomo again. He told his family of his plan, and his family agreed.

Brock decided to just take Forretress and Aggron with him to Hoenn and leave all his other Pokémon behind.

Lola gave Brock new clothes to wear on his journey, and a new back pack. (The same clothes he wore in the anime in Hoenn).

Then Brock said good bye to his family and set off for Hoenn to meet up with Luna and Tomo again.

1. I have say that I hate like Lola and Flint's attitudes in the anime, which is why I changed them being the opposite.

2. I was going to have Brock catch Aggron as Aron in the Hoenn region. So I decided to have Brock catch Aggron when he went home. I don't know what age Forrest is, but I reckon that he must be having been near twelve when Brock returned home after Johto. I thought a Miltank suited Lola, since the Miltank milk are heathy.
