Biography

Anime

Season 1: Indigo League

Bruno, in the anime

Ash and Brock were inspired by Bruno and sought him out, but when he told them there was no secret to train Pokémon, they were dissapointed. When Ash and Piakchu were about to be attacked by Onix, Bruno saved them and tried to reason with the Onix, getting a Sandlash from its hide. He caught him and told Ash, Brock and Misty the Pokémon need to be bonded to have a greater success in battles.
