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 who 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. Ash challenges Flannery to a Gym Battle. Ash wins the battle and receives his Heat Badge.

Trivia
- Flannery's name may be a play on either the word "flame" or the word "flare", since she is a fire-type trainer.
- She was the very first female Fire-type specialist, with the Kalos Elite Four's Malva being the second female Fire-type specialist. (Flint, Blaine and Chili are male).
- Strangely, when battling Flannery in Emerald, her Pokémon are all female, but in all the rematches her Pokémon are all male.
- In Black 2 & White 2, her battle sprite starts in the same position as Candice's.
