Afterwards, Ash caught up with Brawly on the beach, and Brawly explained the importance of his surf training to his battling strategy. Ash took Brawly's advice and trained for several weeks on Dewford Island in anticipation of a rematch. Ash even went so far as to copy Brawly's wave-training to teach his own Pokémon to dodge and resist attacks.
In A Meditite Fight!, Brawly interrupted Ash's battle against his student because of a brewing storm. Brawly led everyone, some wild Pokémon, and even Team Rocket to a cave on the shore to wait for the storm to pass. When the storm ended, Team Rocket attempted to steal Pikachu, but Brawly's Hariyama quickly sent the trio blasting off. Afterwards, Brawly refereed a match between Ash and Shauna.
