Flannery (Japanese: アスナ Asuna) is the Hoenn region Gym Leader of the hot springs gym in Lavaridge Town. She specializes in [[Fire (type)|]]-type Pokémon and gives out the V when defeated.
Her English name means "redhead", but it may have been chosen because it shares similarities with the word "flame". Her French name, "Adriane", could be derived from "ardent"("burning"). His German name is "Flavia", that is similar to "flamme"(flame). "Fiammetta", her Italian name, literally means "piccola fiamma"("little flame"). Her Spanish name is "Candela", that is similar both to "candela"("chandle") and to "candente"("burning", "scorching").
In the Anime
Flannery appears in Poetry Commotion! and Going, Going, Yawn.
In the anime, Ash and his company see a Slugma running from a girl with blazing red-hair—after having one of the water Pokémon put the fire out. They meet up with the new Lavaridge City Gym Leader, Flannery, who had been training with her Slugma. They are secretly helped by fake workers (Jessie and James of Team Rocket), an old women and a judge(Flannery's grandfather). Flannery's grandfather saved the day when Team Rocket attempted to steal Flannery's Torkoal. In the resulting Team Rocket battle, one of her Slugma evolves into a Macargo.
The follow day, Ash has his Lavaridge Gym battle, Ash's line up was Corphish, Pikachu and Grovyle. Despite Corphish being hit by a Yawn from Flannery's Slugma, Ash managed to defeat Torkal and win the Heat Badge.

In the Games
Her passion for Pokémon burns stronger and hotter than a volcano. She is admired for her beauty and strength. She's only been Gym Leader for a short time, and she tries to act intimidating but can't quite get it right. After she loses to the main character, she realized that she was trying to be hard to be someone that she wasn't and had to run things her own way.
Her grandfather was once a member of the Hoenn Elite Four. She has apparently battled with Norman sometime in the past.
In addition to the Heatbadge, Flannery gives out TM 50, Overheat, in Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Pokémon Emerald. This is a powerful Fire-type attack that sharply lowers the user's Sp. Att.

In the Pokémon Special Manga
In the Pokémon Special, Flannery tried to protect Mt. Chimney from having its flames doused by Team Aqua. However, even with the help of Sapphire, she was unable to prevent the water-worshiping team from causing the volcano to become dormant.
During the battle, she was also assisted by Tabitha of Team Magma. The two seemed to be attracted to each other. Later, when all the Hoenn Gym Leaders chose sides, Flannery alligned herself with Team Magma. The destruction later caused by Kyogre and Groudon changed her mind.
Flannery is also apparently close friends with Winona. Template:Mangastub
