Hey all, I’m back for this week’s Synth Saturday with more chapters that center on someone who is reincarnated as Brock from the Pokemon anime and games, who is left in charge of 9 younger siblings in addition to running the Pewter City Gym. It’s Chapters 56-60 of “Hard Enough-Pokemon SI” by Viva01.

Plot: This chapter starts off with Brock preparing his gym trainers for the quickly upcoming season of the circuit, the year Gary Oak and Ash Ketchum begin their journey. Honestly, this is one of my favorite set of chapters in the Fic thus far, but I won’t spoil the fun.

Characters: We don’t get to see many newcomers, but we do finally get to see Janine arrive for her internship at the Pewter Gym. There are a couple surprises as well, but again I’m not going to spoil them.

Overall: A very solid set of chapters.
