Flannery

"Welcome... No, wait. Puny Trainer, how good to see you've made it here! I have been entrusted with the... No, wait. I am Flannery, and I'm the Gym Leader here! Uh... Dare not underestimate me, though I have been Leader only a short time! With skills inherited from my grandfather, I shall, uh...demonstrate the hot moves we have honed on this land!"-Flannery, Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald.

Flannery (Japanese: アスナ Asuna) is tGym Leader in Lavaridge Town in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire. She has newly become the town's Gym Leader and uses all Fire-type Pokémon in her gym. She will award the player the Heat Badge and TM50 (Overheat) if you win.

Ruby and Sapphire Chapter
She was challenged by Sapphire to a Gym Battle and lost. Afterwards during when all Gym Leaders had a meeting, they talked about which Team is good, Team Magma or Team Aqua. Though in the end, both Teams were causing mayhem in the entire region.

In the anime
Flannery made her debut appearance in Poetry Commotion! where she was training with her Slugma. She revealed that she was the new Lavaridge Town Gym Leader after her grandfather, Mr. Moore retired to become a poet. As such she was shown to be inexperienced and relatively incapable, traits which caused her to forget to clean up the gym since the last challenger's match. In an effort to remove the wait needed for his next gym battle, Ash volunteers himself and his friends for cleaning duty. While cleaning, the group are helped by Jessie and James of Team Rocket who are disguised as construction workers as well as the former gym leader, Flannery's grandfather, who is disguised as a judge. Flannery's grandfather saved the day when Team Rocket attempt to steal Flannery's Torkoal. In the resulting battle, one of her Slugma evolved into a Magcargo. In the episode Going Going Yawn, Ash challenges Flannery to a Gym Battle. Using a team of Corphish, Treecko and Pikachu against Flannery's Slugma, Magcargo, and Torkoal, Ash wins the battle and receives his Heat Badge.

Trivia

 * Though it has never been officially confirmed, Flannery's surname could possibly be Moore, since her grandfather's surname in the anime is Moore.
 * Flannery's name may be a play on either the word "flame" or the word "flare", since she is a fire-type trainer.
 * She is the only female Fire-type specialist (Flint, Blaine and Chili are male).
 * Strangely, when you battle Flannery in Emerald, her Pokémon are all female; but in all the rematches her Pokémon are all male.
 * In the anime, one of Flannery's Slugma (Mag) evolves into a Magcargo.
