Anime Cooks of Thanksgiving - Brock (Pokémon)

Hey, folks! ^^ Bri here. What usually comes to mind when you hear the word 'Thanksgiving?' Maybe it's the annual MACY*S parade held in New York. Maybe it's playing football amidst a yard of crunchy leaves until the dinner bell. Or maybe it's thinking of what to get for the missus and little Jimmy during the early morning insanity of Black Friday. However, one thing always comes to our minds when we hear the word: the food! The juicy turkey, the creamy mashed potatoes, the deep and sweet pumpkin pie, it's a feast! So in celebration of this yummy holiday, I'll be posting costume recipes of five of anime's finest cooks all the way until Thanksgiving.

Let's start this off with something nostalgic. Anybody remember 'Pokémon' when it was still new? For those who do, then you'll remember who Brock is.

Here's a picture of Brock, just to refresh your memory. ^^

Here's another one! Just thought this was funny. >w< Many thanks to Bulbapedia for letting me use these! 
 
Here are the ingredients needed for this:
  • An orange short-sleeved shirt
  • A green vest
  • A black belt (the pants kind!)
  • Brown pants
  • A short dark brown wig (Optional if your hair's brown and long enough to be made into spikes)
  • Hair gel
  • Black fabric marker
How to make it:
  1. Get a work shirt and the vest on. Have a parent or friend draw some pockets on the vest using the marker. Hang the vest up, so the ink can dry and take off the work shirt.
  2. Get dressed. For the boxes on the sides of Brock's belt, just take some small boxes (think bracelet boxes), wrap them up with brown duct tape, tape a couple carabiners to the back and click them onto the side belt loops.
  3. Take a wig cap, stretch it and put it over your regular hair. Tuck in any strays! You can skip this if your hair is already brown but long enough to be made into spikes.
  4. Have a parent or a friend make your wig spiky (think Lisa Simpson spiky) using the hair gel and a blow dryer to help it dry faster. Be sure to grab a towel and drape it over your shoulders for any drippings before this.
  5. Once the gel's nice and dry, grab an Onix or Vulpix plush and you're done! ^^
Now you're ready to pick up girls and cook for your friends. ^^ Hope you enjoyed!

Next character: 'Yakitate! Japan' Uniform!
