In ''[[SS001|A Family That Battles Together Stays Together!]]'', Flint recalled that he first met [[Lola]] when she was a budding {{pkmn|Trainer}}. He was impressed by her {{p|Poliwag}}'s {{m|Hydro Pump}} during a {{pkmn|battle}} against his {{p|Graveler}}. They went on to date for sometime, eventually got married, and had their ten children.

Flint was once the [[Pewter City]] [[Gym Leader]], but he relinquished this role and abandoned his children to pursue his own ambitions of becoming a powerful Pokémon Trainer, though he had failed in this regard and couldn't bring himself to face Brock and his {{Brocksib|nine younger siblings}} in the wake of this failure. He instead decided to live a life as a hermit selling souvenir rocks for a living on the outskirts of Pewter City.

{{Ash}} and {{an|Misty}} first met Flint in ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'', during which Ash bragged about his goal to become a [[Pokémon Master]]. In response, Flint told Ash that thinking he could defeat {{an|Brock}}, the [[Pewter City]] [[Gym Leader]], was foolish.

After Ash's unsuccessful match against Brock, Flint talked with him about Brock. Flint went on to point out Brock's home life and the circumstances behind it. Flint then decided to help Ash in his Gym battle and hooked {{AP|Pikachu}} to a hydroelectric dam to increase its strength. After Ash's [[rematch]], Flint showed up and revealed himself to be Brock's father. As Brock wanted to travel with {{Ash}}, he left the Gym Leader position and the duty of being head of the family to Flint.

Brock returned home in ''A Family That Battles Together Stays Together!'' after traveling through [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] with Ash, only to find Flint being neglectful of his duties as Gym Leader. Brock scolded Flint for not taking care of the Gym, and Flint explained that it was because Lola had recently returned and renovated the Gym into a {{type|Water}} one, much to his dismay. Flint took Brock back to the Gym to show him the renovations.

Flint took Brock back to the Gym to show him the renovations.


Lola and Flint had a rematch for the title of Gym Leader, which he lost. However, this rekindled their relationship and prompted them to try and remodel the Pewter Gym into a dual Rock/Water-type Gym, much to the disapproval of their children. Eventually, Brock was able to beat his mother and stop these plans. Flint went on to return to his role as Gym Leader, though [[Forrest]] was revealed to have taken over this role by [[SS025]].

In ''[[AG177|Grating Spaces]]'', Flint and Lola were sent on a plane trip by {{TRT}}, who were [[List of Team Rocket's disguises|posing as Gym stylists]] and attempting to redecorate the Pewter Gym in a bid to take over the facility. Brock visited home and was shocked to see his parents' absences, and the Gym's latest renovation. When the pair returned from their trip, Brock scolded them for abandoning the children once again and informed them that they had fallen for one of Team Rocket's schemes.

Flint reappeared in SS025, where he returned from a holiday trip with his wife, and started supporting his son Forrest in his match against a [[Nurse Joy]] from the [[Pokémon Inspection Agency]].

Flint dislikes confrontation and will attempt to keep to himself to avoid issues, such as [[Lola]]'s extreme makeover of the [[Pewter Gym]]. Brock, on two occasions, had to give Flint some stern advice to help him to overcome this. Even so, Flint struggles with guilt and is consciously aware that he allowed his children to grow up without their parents, but is pleased with their resilience and ambitions.

Flint rekindled his relationship with Lola in ''[[SS001|A Family That Battles Together Stays Together!]]'', after it had gone astray because of Lola's passionate uptake of certain hobbies. Lola brings out a softer side of Flint's personality, where he is shown to be happier and more easygoing in her presence. However, his affection for Lola also embarrasses his children. Flint also panders to Lola's dreams at the expense of his children's beliefs, to the point where he is fine with the Pewter Gym closing for good.

|desc=Flint's {{p|Golem}} first appeared in ''[[SS001|A Family That Battles Together Stays Together!]]'' where it battled against [[Lola]]'s {{p|Marill}} to win back the [[Pewter Gym]] from her. The type disadvantage and the problem that the battlefield was on water with only a few rocks sticking out gave Marill the advantage. Flint started with an Earthquake which made it hard for Marill to navigate, but was no match to Marill who used {{m|Surf}} making Golem sink and her {{p|Blastoise}} had to save it from drowning, {{an|Brock}} also had to help using a hair dryer to heat Golem up.

It was revealed that Golem used to be a {{p|Graveler}}; in a battle against Lola's {{p|Poliwag}}. It was later seen with Blastoise, holding up the new sign made of rock which they broke.
