She's only been Gym Leader for a short time, and she tries to act intimidating but can't quite get it right. After she loses to the main character, she realized that she was trying to be hard to be someone that she wasn't and had to run things her own way. Her grandfather was once a member of the Hoenn Elite Four. She has apparently battled with Norman sometime in the past. In addition to the Heatbadge, Flannery gives out TM 50, Overheat. Overheat is a powerful Fire-type attack that sharply lowers the offending Pokémon's Special Attack stat.

Chimney from having its flames doused by Team Aqua. However, even with the help of Sapphire, she was unable to prevent the water-worshiping team from causing the volcano to become dormant. During the battle, she was also assisted by Tabitha of Team Magma. The two seemed to be attracted to each other. Later, when all the Hoenn Gym Leaders chose sides, Flannery alligned herself with Team Magma. The destruction later caused by Kyogre and Groudon changed her mind. Flannery is also apparently close friends with Winona.
