In ''[[SS001|A Family That Battles Together Stays Together!]]'', Brock returned to Pewter City after traveling through [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]], and found that Flint was shirking his Gym Leader duties. Flint explained that the Gym was ruined because Lola had returned. Lola had totally redecorated the inside and outside of the Gym, planting a series of trees and bushes outside. She also filled the inside of the Gym with water, and decorated it with streamers and pink hearts and stars. Flint ended up closing the Gym because he couldn't stand it anymore.
In ''[[SS001|A Family That Battles Together Stays Together!]]'', {{ka|Flint}} recalled that he first met his [[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 some time and eventually got married and had their ten children.  


Brock returned home to find his mother cheerfully redecorating the house. Lola gushed over her own work and showed off her {{type|Water}} Pokémon and said that they were much better than {{t|Rock}} types. Brock demanded to know how Flint could let this happen, and Flint explained that he just couldn't say no to his wife.
She, like her husband, had left the family home prior to ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'' to pursue her own goals and artistic ventures, leaving {{an|Brock}} in charge of the household, his {{Brocksib|nine younger siblings}} and the [[Pewter Gym]].
 
Brock was surprised to his mother when he returned home in ''A Family That Battles Together Stays Together!'' and impressed by her newly-{{pkmn2|caught}} {{t|Water}} Pokemon. However, her redecoration efforts of the Gym and changing it to a Water-type Gym led Flint to once again abandon the household, and Lola became the [[Pewter City]] [[Gym Leader]]. Brock confronted Lola directly about the issue, but she was too busy hanging her latest painting find and noted that Water Pokémon were much better than {{type|Rock}}s. Brock demanded to know how Flint could let this happen, and Flint explained that he just couldn't say no to his wife.

Lola and Flint had a rematch for the title of Gym Leader. Flint was sure he would lose due to type disadvantage, but Brock pressured him into the battle anyway. Flint's Pokémon almost ended up drowning in the match and had to be resuscitated. Flint was almost ready to run away again, but after some flirting, Lola and Flint ended up being [[Shipping:List of canon shippings#Brock'sHormonesShipping|lovey-dovey]] with each other and the two agreed to change the Gym to specialize in both Rock ''and'' Water types (to their children's dismay).

Flint was almost ready to run away again, but after some flirting, Lola and Flint ended up being [[Shipping:List of canon shippings#Brock'sHormonesShipping|rekindling their relationship]] and the pair agreed to change the Gym to specialize in both Rock and Water types, much to their children's dismay.


Not ready to give up, Brock decided to battle his own mother to keep the Gym the way it was, and he came out victorious. Lola said she would give up trying to change the Gym's type, but Flint managed to persuade Brock to let Lola keep the decorations, even though she was supposed to take them down if she lost. Brock passed on the title of Gym Leader, along with most of his Pokémon, to the eldest of the younger siblings, [[Forrest]].

Lola also made a short appearance in ''[[AG177|Grating Spaces!]]'', where she went to a trip with her husband and [[Brock's Ludicolo]], leaving their children alone at home. When Brock came home and found out that the Gym was remodeled and they were leaving, he became mad at both his parents. The couple and Ludicolo later came home at the end of the episode.
In ''[[AG177|Grating Spaces]]'', Flint, Lola and [[Brock's Ludicolo]] went on a plane trip organised {{TRT}}, who [[List of Team Rocket's disguises|posed as Gym stylists]] and redecorated the Pewter Gym in a bid to take over the facility. Brock visited home and was shocked to see his parent's absence, 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.


Lola made a cameo in the ending credits of ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', where she and her family received a gift basket of [[Gracidea]]s from Brock. She also made an appearance in [[SS025]], where she was supporting her son Forrest in his match against [[Nurse Joy]].

==Character==
==Character==
For a very short time, she was the [[Gym Leader]] of the [[Pewter Gym]], and she gave out the {{badge|Boulder}} to challengers who defeated her.
Lola enjoys art and travel, though her uptake of hobbies and personal tastes are contentious. She is overly cheery and likes cute things, though her {{type|Water}} [[Type expert|expertise]] makes her a tough opponent in {{pkmn|battle}}.


Lola is married to {{ka|Flint}} and has ten children. Flint left one day to become a professional [[Pokémon Trainer]] and never returned. Some time after that, Lola herself wandered away to {{pkmn|training|train Pokémon}}, leaving Brock in charge of his many siblings. One of Lola's many hobbies is decorating.
Lola is shown to disregard the integrity of the [[Pewter Gym]] and its traditions, and in [[SS025]] mentioned hoping to turn it into a restaurant. While {{ka|Flint}} often panders to Lola's every desire, {{an|Brock}} and {{Brocksib|his siblings}} felt betrayed by her decision to change the Pewter Gym to a {{t|Water}} [[Gym]] in ''[[SS001|A Family That Battles Together Stays Together!]]''. While Brock loves his mother, her lack of responsibility and consideration for the family is a constant irritant.
