In ''[[SS001|A Family That Battles Together Stays Together!]]'', Flint recalled that he first met his future wife [[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 and eventually got married and had their ten children. | |||

Flint's was once the [[Pewter City]] [[Gym Leader]], but relinquished this role, and abandoned his children, to pursue his own ambitions of becoming a Pokémon Trainer. Though he had failed to become a successful Pokémon Trainer and couldn't face Brock and his siblings. He instead decided to live a hermit life selling souvenir rocks for a living on the outskirts of Pewter City, and this is where {{Ash}} and {{an|Misty}} first met him in ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]''. | |||
Upon meeting Flint, Ash bragged about his goal to become a [[Pokémon Master]], but Flint told Ash that thinking he could defeat {{an|Brock}}, the [[Pewter City]] [[Gym Leader]], was foolish. | |||

After the match, which Ash lost, Flint | After the match, which Ash lost, Flint later talked with Ash about Brock. Flint went on to point out Brock's home and revealed that Brock had {{Brocksib|nine younger siblings}} that he constantly had to take care of, because his father left to become a [[Pokémon Trainer]]. He never returned, as did his mother. | ||
Flint decided to help Ash in his Gym battle and hooked {{AP|Pikachu}} to a hydro-electric dam to increase its strength. After the Gym battle, 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]], [[Johto]], and the [[Orange Archipelago]]. Brock scolded Flint for not taking care of the Gym. An embarrassed Flint explained that he had just got the Gym set up the way he liked it when Brock's mother returned. Flint took Brock back to the Gym, which had been redecorated. Flint closed it because he couldn't stand it anymore. | |||
Flint | Lola and Flint had a rematch for the title of Gym Leader, which he lost. Fortunately, Brock was able to beat his mother and stop her plans of turning the Pewter Gym into a dual {{t|Water}} and {{type|Rock}} Gym. Flint went on to return to his role as Gym Leader, though [[Forrest]] was revealed to have taken over this role by [[SS025]]. | ||
Flint | Flint returned from a holiday with his wife in SS025, supporting his son Forrest in his match against [[Nurse Joy]] from the [[Pokémon Inspection Agency]]. | ||

==Character== | |||
Flint's passion for the {{type|Rock}} has been passed onto his two eldest sons, {{an|Brock}} and [[Forrest]]. He continues to reminisce about the {{pkmn|battle}}s he had in his youth. | |||
Lola | He is not one for 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 given 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 the pair had become astray because of Lola's uptake of 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, to the point where he is fine with the Pewter Gym closing for good. | |||
