In the games

Generation III

Lavaridge Town Pokémon Gym
Leader: Flannery
One with a fiery passion that burns!

In Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, the Gym is a bathhouse full of steam and geysers that the player can use to shoot themselves up from the bottom floor to the first floor. Flannery's students hide in some of the pools. Ledges restrict the player's movements, and one can be used as a shortcut back to the entrance once Flannery has been defeated.

Generation VI

Lavaridge Town Pokémon Gym
Leader: Flannery
One with a fiery passion that burns!

In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, the Gym takes on rocky appearance, with trapdoors to fall in. The bottom floor's floor is now mostly covered in hot spring water. Although there are no more pools for the Trainers to hide in, a couple Ninja Boys are hiding underwater at the bottom floor.

When defeated, Flannery will give the player the Heat Badge as well as TM50 (Overheat) as a reward.

In the anime

The Lavaridge Gym first appeared in Poetry Commotion!. Flannery had taken over the Gym from her grandfather only three days earlier, and had not yet had a proper Gym battle. In fact, the Gym's battlefield was still in bad shape after the last battle, where the challenger's Pokémon had used Dig a lot, leaving holes all over the place. After Ash and his friends helped Flannery clean up the battlefield, Ash was finally able to have his battle with her in the following episode. The battle ended in Ash's victory, earning him his fourth Hoenn League Badge.

Pokémon used in the Gym

Used by Mr. Moore

		Typhlosion
		Mr. Moore's Typhlosion was first seen in a flashback scene when Flannery was speaking about how strong it is and how it and its Trainer were an absolutely unbeatable team until the time he decided to get involved in Pokémon poetry. He used it to battle Team Rocket after they tried to escape with Flannery's Torkoal. It was seen again in a flashback at the beginning of Going, Going, Yawn in a recap of the previous episodes events. Typhlosion's known moves are Headbutt*, Ember, Flame Wheel, and Flamethrower.
Debut	Poetry Commotion

Used by Flannery

		Mag
		Mag (Japanese: マグ Mag) is Flannery's Magcargo. It first appeared as a Slugma in Poetry Commotion!, training with Flannery and Meg. When Team Rocket attacked and tried to steal Torkoal, Flannery used Mag, and it evolved into a Magcargo. In Going, Going, Yawn, Mag was the first Pokémon Flannery used in her battle with Ash. Although it was a harder challenge than Ash originally thought, his Corphish was able to win the round. Mag's known moves are Ember, Flamethrower, Sandstorm, Double Team, and Reflect.

		Meg
		Meg (Japanese: メグ Meg) is Flannery's Slugma. It first appeared in Poetry Commotion!, training with Flannery and Mag. During Flannery's Gym battle with Ash, Meg was the second Pokémon she used. Ash used Treecko, but switched it for Corphish when Meg seemed to have the upper hand with its Fire-type attacks, Body Slam, Smog, and Mag's Reflect. When Flannery surprised Ash by having Meg use Yawn, Ash was forced to switch Pokémon again, this time choosing Pikachu. Thanks to Pikachu's speed and Electric-type attacks, it managed to defeat Meg. Meg's known moves are Flamethrower, Body Slam, Smog, and Yawn.

		Torkoal
		Torkoal made its debut in Poetry Commotion. In the episode, when Ash challenged Flannery for a Gym Match at the front of the Gym, Flannery sent out Torkoal. However, Max said they should go to the battlefield. Later, Torkoal was seen helping the gang to prepare the battlefield as the last challenger's Pokémon dug many holes in it. Later, Team Rocket tried to steal it, but they were defeated when Mag evolved into a Magcargo and blasted them off. Torkoal was the final Pokémon Flannery used in the Gym battle against Ash in Going, Going, Yawn. With a powerful Overheat attack and a strong Iron Defense, it was able to defeat Ash's Pikachu and Treecko easily. Ash then used his last Pokémon, Corphish, but it was still sleeping after Meg's Yawn attack. During the battle, Corphish woke up and managed to fight on courageously after taking much damage from Flannery's other two Pokémon. After a fierce battle, Corphish managed to defeat Torkoal. Torkoal's known moves are Flamethrower, Iron Defense, Sludge Bomb, and Overheat.

After winning her 149th consecutive victory, Flannery was contacted by Winona and informed of Sapphire, who had earned three Badges already and was headed to Lavaridge Town. Flannery stepped out of the Gym to cool off and yelled out that she was going to accept Sapphire's challenge. Shelly and Matt overheard her, and, assuming that she knew Sapphire, proceeded to kidnap her.
