Hi all, I'm toying with a scene in the future that will have Brock encountering a pokemon from another region that is going to be joining Brock's team through unusual circumstances.This pokemon will be very young but is certainly a pokemon with a lot of potential.  I have an idea of what I would like to have put in, but I had a thought today...Why not? So instead of locking it in, I'm going to poll for it for the next week.So, make your pick, I'm going to allow multiple picks for funsies, but the pokemon with the most will be getting picked up! This does not mean other pokemon won't get picked up, or that I wasn't consider giving Brock a chance at some of them, it is just that the winning pokemon is going to be picked up very soon!Have fun!

Sorry! Multiple vote option glitched and I had to delete and reapply the option!

Viva01

Cough cough! Debate here or on Discord!

Viva01

Also, I have selected Sport, and Kerberos as two of the names I will take for the 10 Growlithe the Gym is getting. I will still take suggestions otherwise! Or else another poll will occur soon!

Sick Meme

Im not going to lie the only reason i want Brock to have a Garchomp is because Lance will sweat bullets once he realises that he has 3 pseudos

BiomassDenial

It still seems broken. Can only do one.

Muffinman99J

I love turtwig but you can't say no to the ground dragon

BiomassDenial

Belay that I seemed to click in-between the fixings. All good.

Viva01

Don't do that to me!

Retexks

When is the contest happening?

Thelon

Gible: he doesn't have an actual dragon type yet, just pseudo dragon with Don. Also, because the Pokemon is specified to be very young, I find Gible to be the most adorable.

PiezoVolt

Having a Zoura will give Brock another Mon that's dark type that he can build up his dark aura with and lean more into a mischievous type of battle style then his usual one

BiomassDenial

Gibble fits his whole vibe and I don't think he reasonably needs another starter. However Zorua is a crazy strong pick as well. Just not really aligned with his normal style.

Bast

Gibble because potential mega, first dragon for Brock and Cynthia! But, honestly, Zorua might be the most interesting in terms of tactical potential and character interaction because of its ability

Nicole

Tiny Gible is too cute

Nitrous_Hail

All I'm saying is, brocks Croagunk from the anime was always a bamf.

Viva01

I expect there is going to be a lot of this energy running around right now.

ShinLupin

With that Salamence and his 3 Dragonites, doesn't Lance have 4? Besides he is already sweating from his brush with fairy-typing.

BiomassDenial

Ok so I now have interesting busted... If I select gibble it automatically selects turtwig so I guess I'm also voting turtwig cause it won't let me not have it and gibble...

Kreeshnik

Gible is a good training experience before Brock eventually gets his hands on a Tyrunt fossil. And while he is a Rock/Dark user, a lot of his other pokemons have a Ground type, so he won't be out of his depth. On the other hand, Brock doesn't have any pure Dark type, which is weird since he has an affinity with it. He only has Titan and Empress as partial representatives of the Type in his roster. A Zorua could be a very good addition to it. It is high time to expand his roster in this direction. what with Mewtwo and Will as his adversaries! In case neither of those two are picked, you could make a case for Turtwig, via his friendship with Erika as a thank you for the batches of Lileeps for instance. Another water type with Piplup seems far-fetched with Shrek, Hypnotoad, Corsola, Tirtouga and all the Omanytes/stars and Kabutos/tops . Same with Chimchar as the Hisuian Growlithes are in the process of being bred. Riolu is too gimmicky. And I can't see really the use of poison types at present with the brand new shiny zubat.

Crazyone47

Croagunk for the win please. Come on the OG is always going to be interesting

Jeremy

Go Gibble! I just love the potential reaction Lance would have in regards to Brock's pseudo Dragon / Jurrasic team. Also Zorua would be neat, but more because I love the idea of him and Sabrina breeding an Pokemon Arceus era Zorua eventually.

Eagle

Hey same logic as last time I think glimmet or glammora a whole little colony would be a super fun idea, instead of encountering 1 new mom you find a whole group

ShinLupin

Seconded. Gible's ground-type is close enough to Rock-types that Brock would have not trouble caring for one. Pesudo-Legendary need a lot of effort and resources, which he also has. And one more potential Mega, nuff said. Zorua, given that Brock loves to break expectation that natural trickster fits him like a glove. So much potential to let his dark-side out.

Marco Monteiro

I'm holding out for Tyrantrum for a dragon type, so I'd rule out gible. Empoleon is an all time fave of mine, Zorua would be amazing for trickier battling (which we see with his usage of entry hazards and subterfuge), Stunky and croagunk would enable more poison master interactions which is always fun, also a poison buddy for Zubat.

Xisaro

Barbas - Skyrim dog Hercules - from sandlot Lassie Clifford - big red dog Beethoven - from the movie Amadeus - no dog in it I just like the movie and name Balto - movie Toto - wizard of Oz Fenrir - norse mythology Edit: female names Lola Bella Hestia - cause fire Athena Freya

Awesomepossum15

Oooh I'm torn. I'd like Brock to have another dark pokemon so he can explore his dark aura, so Zorua is perfect, but there's also his anime croagunk, his current team's lack of a fire type, the fact that I'm personally a sucker for Lucario and Empoleon...

Squeeky602

I like Zorua. It will add something new to Brock's style. And the opportunity to trick Sabrina at least once.

Awesomepossum15

Also, I kind of explicitly don't want Gibble. I love the little shark-hread with toddler legs and Garchomp is cool, but Brock doesn't need another pseudolegend ace. I'd like to see more mid-stat pokemon trained and used well, like Selene, than "high base stat pokemon go brrr"

Christian Biondo

Maybe encounter a bunch of young rare pokemon in a rocket raid and have empress adopt them all.

daniel wingborg

Gibble just feels like it would be appropriate. that said Zorua would probably be fun with the illusion ability, and Riolu could be the source of some fun with whoever it was that had meet/trained with a lucario

Jeet Jeet

Zorua. But make it Hisiuan. I feel Brock will benefit from a ghost much more. Also with a immunity to fighting which rock is weak to, illusion shenanigans will be more interesting

Flygar

Gotta go with Zorua, if not just because Brock needs more Dark type Pokémon since he's a dual type Aura trainer.

Biblion

Hisiuan Zorua ftw!

John Markop

well, groagunk is the only in the list he had in movies, but i still think lucario is best.

HonorBound Fate

It’s just zorua. A distinction would have been made

Zero1zero1

Obviously Zorua with gible a close second. Maybe get two Zorua a normal and a hisiuan would both be great editions and would grant Brock a breeding pair.

SwiftFate

I have to go with Gibble. I like Zorua and even some of the others like Lucario etc, but I feel like every trainer needs at least one powerhouse Dragon type

HonorBound Fate

Would it be too much to ask for gible and zorua

David Zimmerle

I want anything but Gibble, it's so generic at this point.

carebear90

He has fire types... or is preparing to get some more at least. Slugma and Growlithe.

the pyro stick figure 76

Honestly I think Riolu would fit really well with Sabrina given she's picked fighting as a secondary specialty and aura got a nice correlation with her psychic abilities. However there's a clear answer here with a literal cave shark dragon! Plus we just gotta see Lance's face when he finds out Brock got one first.

carebear90

Gible could indeed serve as a 'replacement baby' once Teddiursa evolves. Zorua would be a Dark type, ... and as much as I hate how overused Zorua and Riolu are in fanfics, Brock needs more Dark types. Turtwig would eventually become a 'wandering mountain'... so... pretty much 'in-theme'? Stunky would be another dark type without being an overused Zorua, so... sure, why not? Croagunk would be another 'canon-mon' so I could see that happening too. Not sure what Chimchar and Piplup are doing in this list, though. I could see a Piplup for Forest down the line, but... yeah.

Jericho Rising

It's reaaaaally hard not to chose Gibble simply due to the typing. I'm sure that's most peoples immediate thoughts, big fan of Stunky or a Zoroa however due to the dark typing and shenanigans.

Maks

Gible seems like the obvious choice but with brock getting a Tyrunt sooner or later I’d rather he get a zorua for another dark type or crogunk for that canon fun

MaliMi

Brock needs some dark type mons and Zorua is overused, so Stunky it is.

Abhorsen

Turtwig becoming a fricking turtle Island is under rated.

Ice fox

Hey I thought you said we can make multiple pics it's only one of me pick one choice what's the deal?

Rinaldo

Stunky cuz dark but also lol it's a skunk nobody likes the skunk pokemon

Jordan Belmont

I love how we're all arguing and debating, when you're poll doesn't say that the Pokemon not chosen won't end up in bricks team anyway. Personally I feel like Brock's gym theme is mountains, caves, and prehistoric. With dark added in too. So any Pokemon is really fair game. I'd like Brock to get a sandile and shinx, but those are just some of my favorite pokemon. I do think Brock should have fairy types in his team just because of him talking about it earlier then others and because of his sisters. Plus fairy types are just more natural versions of dark types, since the fae have just as dark history as the dark lol

Giant Sloth

highkey agree, I think the magic of Brock (for me) is that while he does have a Titan (and now his Ma) he doesn't really on inherently powerful pokemon like pseudos, but is able to train them from the ground up. Which is why I love his dino pokemon, his clefable, etc.

Bombastus

A Garchomp could have some great synergy with Titan and Empress. Tyranitar is a sand-setter, and Garchomp is a sand-abuser.

Mario Schade

Huh. That's exciting. Zorua, of course, offers many new combat possibilities, just from the writer's point of view. Negative probably that one knows Zorua already from some stories. That would be important to work out the character well. Personally, I would rather like a Sableye as a Trickster, but Dark-Type is a strong argument. Gible / Garchomp is so iconically linked to Cynthia, and besides, as a pseudo, there's always the danger that you'll just cobble the strongest players into the main character. But the biggest argument against it for me would be Tyrunt with the typing and somewhat more moderate powerscale. I think Riolu doesn't fit at all to Brock in this story. Besides, everyone has Lucario. Can be omitted even if favorite Pokemon of many. Croagunk has the anime card and the canon team. But since just added Zubat, I would see this or Stunky if, then only later. The 3 starters. Maybe Turtwig because of ground type. Otherwise, I see less such strong Water/Fire Pokemon being added if we look at the current and already prepared lineup. Since I'm leaving out Zorua, don't want to choose Gible, that leaves Turtwig for me. I think you could create a lot of creative history with the ground typing, especially in Pewter and the mountains as a playground.

Satanael Adyx

My favorite pokemon are Ghost types, so a Hisuian Zoroark would be one of my favorites, but a gible and garchomp makes more sense for the Rock theme, especially with Tyranitar's sandstorm.

Fake Name

Garchomp would be perfect to mess with Lance.

Jared

Sableye I think would be a perfect fit for Brock's team, he doesn't really have many dark types for someone with dark type aura and it still kind of fits the rock type theme.

NostalgicTime

Vote for Gibble, I wanna see Clair have a conniption when she learns he will have a Garchomp and 2 tyranitar while Lance is having a stroke at seeing Brock's luck in finding/acquiring draconic pokemon. Plus the synergy between them will be insane!!! Besides, with Gibble's ground typing brock won't be out of his dept since Rock and Ground seems to overlap a lot in playstyle. Potential interactions with Clair and Lance due to it's dragon typing.

NostalgicTime

Sableye will be easy to claim in the future since he's friend with brawly, his island has a cave where sableye can be found.

NostalgicTime

You have a discord server? Can I have the Link?

HonorBound Fate

If anything this will give Brock, lance, and Claire something to bond over.

Nitrous_Hail

It doesn't display properly on the app, try it from a mobile browser or on your computer!

Sebazu

Awww, I wanted his first Dragon to be Tyrunt.

King_Under

Tyrunt has to be the first dragon it only makes sense. I can see Brock getting Zorua or Stunky to match his Dark aura. Though Piplup would be a good choice if its a gift from his mom which he would be resentful.

Bat

I can see Gible is most likely the winner but common Zorua would shake things up in his lineup in my opinion. He has plenty of powerhouses already with Empress added to the lineup.

MyAfroAteMyDog

What about a tyrunt? Gives Brock dragon/rock

Rinaldo

I'm a big proponent of naming pets after food. Hot Pot Chilli Kimchi Pepper Vindaloo Gumbo Jerk Buffalo Wasabi Cau Cau

Murderouslemon

Zorura. Why? Because the pokemon is "very young" and the idea of a toddler with illusion powers is so existentially terrifying that I want to see it written, lol.

NostalgicTime

Thinking about it more, Torterra would be an interesting addition, same with Riolu and Zorua, but a GARCHOMP is just a beast.

world-concepts-are-breaking god-is-dying

Cmon guys while Garchomp IS strong and cool it doesn't make much sense for Brock. A mischevious Zorua not only would make for great fights but for great interactions. Also Zoroark is an excellent dark type to give Brock to surprise people seeing as it is more rare then Garchomp and it would help him develop a team more balanced around the Dark-Rock typing of his aura.

NovaSoulless

I feel like once you put giblets on the list it was pretty much going to get picked...but I definitely wouldn't want to see that since it's such an iconic pokemon already linked to a champion level character. Not to mention he is eventually going to get a Tyrunt so it's like what's the point? On the other hand a Zorua is something not really seen and fits as a nod to his dark typing but to be honest anything would be better than Garchomp >.>

HonorBound Fate

I don’t know viva this vote is a bit controversial

Docnox

... so hes raiding another rocket base? also... turtwig is the only one id even consider.

Bat

Naw. This is typical Pokémon talk. Everyone has their favorites

Mario Schade

So does Gabite. Anyway.. after getting his Carbink-Cave a Sableye hunting them and Brock catching it would be a nice story line.

Mike

Viva01, I wanted to put forward another suggestion: Deino.

Mike

It would fit perfectly with Brock. It resides in deep caves and is often solitary. Since Unova is not connected yet, no one would recognize its significance. The interplay would make perfect sense as Brock can teach it to be calm using Dark Energy in later evolutions. Titan is King of Land battles while Hydreigon would be used in aerial showdowns. Plus, definitely good transportation option like Zephyr during the night for raids and such. I'm assuming more battles with legendary pokemon will take place- perfect aerial combo with Don.

Imef

"Everyone" you say? I don't really care for any of the choices.

HonorBound Fate

Well at least we’re being given a choice.

fireball77

Another pseudo sounds fun, even though it's not a rock type A Riolu could also work, given that there is a Lucario that exists in Rota, which is in Kanto A mischievous zorua sounds nice too, especially if it's a Ghost/Normal type

G 21

Dang not bad

NostalgicTime

Like an earlier comment, add deino :D!!! Imagine a poor smuggled pokemon, trauma by team rocket maybe, getting rescued by brock and becoming like vengence.

world-concepts-are-breaking god-is-dying

I would rather have it NOT in the pool. Brcause I'm sure he will end up with it with the whole gimmick of pissing of Lance with dragons. Having it in the pool means losing it forever or it being picked up before cooler options like Zorua that aren't necessary but would be neat to have.

Quincy

Cuddles, the kids named them first.

koala

Just image the mischief Brocks youngest siblings could get into with a Zorua. Playing pranks, or having illusions during story time.

Iron Thaio

I would like a Rock type option

Donald Bagwell

It is rock/ cave themed. Also I want lance to have an aneurism from Brock getting a new pseudo dragon before him
