Brock's siblings

Brock's siblings are the nine younger brothers and sisters of , and recurring characters who appeared in . They are the children of and Lola, and appear to all be relatively close in age. They all first appeared under Brock's care in the episode Showdown in Pewter City.
The most notable among them is the oldest son after Brock, Forrest (Japanese: ジロウ Jirō), who was first referred to by name and became more defined than the rest of the children in A Family That Battles Together Stays Together!. The remaining children's names were listed in Grating Spaces: Salvadore (Japanese: サブロウ Saburō), Yolanda (ヨモコ Yomoko), Tommy (ゴロウ Gorō), Cindy (ムツコ Mutsuko), Suzie (ナナコ Nanako), Timmy (ヤオキ Yaoki), and the twins Billy (クロウ Kurō) and Tilly (トオコ Tōko).
Like Brock and their father, they all have very narrow, squinty eyes and coarse textured hair. None of the children inherited Lola's eyes, though some seem to have skin and hair color closer in tone to their mother's.

In Grating Spaces, Brock's siblings were once again left alone after Flint and Lola went on a plane trip organized by , who were posing as Gym stylists, and redecorated the Pewter Gym in a bid to take over the facility.

All of the children are extremely close to their older brother Brock, and they view him as more of a parental figure than their own parents due to their general absence in their lives. They all love and respect him; in their debut episode, when he was losing a , they all grabbed onto because they knew Brock didn't want to have his hurt.
