Pokemon Jounreys Special: Pokemon Advanced Prequel

Episode 1: A Family That Battles Together Stays Together!

After going his separate ways, Brock, former leader of the Pewter Gym, and self-described lady's man is heading back home to his family. Now he is looking over Pewter City, his home town.

"Smell that Pewter air," Brock says.

Suddenly, he hears a voice, "Turn back, travelers."

Brock looks down to see a familiar man.

The man says, "A horrible curse has befallen this town, you three must leave at once and never return or else a terrible fate will befall you."

Confused, Brock asks, "What are you doing, dad?"

Surprised, the man panics, "You must have me mistaken for someone else!"

"Like I wouldn't know your voice?" Brock says, and removes his dad, Flint's disguise, "Why are you trying to get us to leave town?! You're the one who's writing and saying I should visit more often!"

"Well, it's just that..." Flint says and gets up, "Brock, do you remember how truly glorious the Pewter gym was back when you were the gym leader?" This has Brock confused.

Flint continues, "It was known as the greatest gym for rock Pokémon. A no thrills place, seasoning only the toughest trainers. As rough and cold as the stones themselves. But now, it's just..."

"Dad, what happened to the gym?" Brock asks.

Flint sweat drops, "Your mother happened. I'm sorry, son."

"What do you mean?" Brock asks.

"You, don't want to know," Flint says.

Brock doesn't like the sound of it, "This doesn't sound good."

Brock arrives at the gym and can't believe what he is seeing. It's beyond shocking for him.

"What am I looking at?!" Brock asks, disbelief.

Flint leans to Brock, "Now do you see why I tried to make you three turn back?"

"There's a hedge..." Brock says, stunned.

"I know," Flint says.

"And flowers!" Brock says, shocked.

"I know," Flint says.

"And..." Brock is about to say something.

But Flint says, "I know. Let's go home for now."

But Brock refuses, "No, I want to see the inside."

"Your mother has the keys. Come on," Flint confirms.

The pair then head back to the gym and to Brock's house.

Brock also notices, "Wow, the house looks...different."

"Your mother repaints it every three months," Flint says.

Brock soon opens the door, "I'm home!"

And soon sees Brock's younger brother, Salvadore, and Timmy.

Salvadore says, "Hey, it's Brock!"

"Hi, Brock!" Tommy says.

Brock walks over with a smile, "What's up, little pipsqueaks? How's it going?"

Salvador calls out, "Everybody, come quick! Brock is home!""

Soon, the rest of Brock's brothers and sisters hurry over to greet their brother back home.

Forrest says, "Hi, Brock!"

"Welcome home!" Yolanda happily replies.

Cindy and Suzie walk down from the stairs.
