I don't remember all the details, but here we have a young trainer that's just a little misguided and Brock completely chews her out, screaming at her because she doesn't have the same idea of a pokemon battle that he does. Wasn't the whole message of DP that you have to accept different ideas and philosophies even if they clash with your own? And Brock receives no reprimand for being a total jerk to the girl. Brock was growing more and more preachy as the series ran on and that was the straw that broke the camel's back for me, where I was completely fed up with him as a character.
