However, he did not take losing easily and was often left speechless after losing a battle (to the point where [[Volkner]] once referred to a post-loss Flint as a "husk"). According to his good friend Volkner, he started specializing in fire-type Pokémon after someone told him what his name meant. |
− | In | + | In ''Diamond'', ''Pearl'' and ''Platinum'', he was first seen in Sunyshore City where he was exhibiting concern for Volkner, whom had lost his passion for battling due to facing a series of weak challengers. However, after meeting [[Lucas (Pokemon)|Lucas]]/[[Dawn]], he said he could sense the trainer's "aura of toughness" and encouraged them to challenge Volkner, believing the trainer would be tough enough to re-ignite his passion for battling. As the challenge was issued, Flint noted Volkner's excitement towards the challenge and, having confidence that Lucas/Dawn could restore Volkner's battling passion, he returned to the Pokémon League. |
Lucas/Dawn later battled Flint during their Elite Four challenge. He had anticipated the trainer's arrival ever since learning how impressive they were from Volkner. Lucas/Dawn surpassed his expectations by defeating him. Flint told them they were fantastic and inspiring, but then remained speechless afterwards, only able to work in saying that he had been "burned to cinders" and simply telling them to keep going. | Lucas/Dawn later battled Flint during their Elite Four challenge.

He dragged Volkner with him, and they challenged Lucas/Dawn and [[Pearl]] to a double battle to see if they were worthy of taking on the Battle Frontier. Flint and Volkner were defeated, and Flint was unable to speak afterwards, which led Volkner to escort "the husk" back home. Flint and Volkner would also visit the player's Villa on random days, believing he had a right to lounge around there due to thinking the Villa was bought with Lucas/Dawn's Elite Four prize money. While there, he would banter with Volkner about the Pokémon League needing more decorations and his belief that Fire-types are the future as well as superior to Electric-types. |

It was revealed that he and Volkner started out as rivals when they were children and eventually became friends, with Flint eventually leaving to join the Elite Four around the age of 20. As in the games, Flint tries to help Volkner regain his fighting spirit. He winds up battling Ash in Volkner's place and easily defeats him, although seeing Ash fight is still enough to inspire Volkner to accept his challenge personally. Flint later watched Ash's gym battle with Volkner in another episode. Flint reappeared later on in an episode where he wound up battling and defeating [[Jasmine]], and he was shown planning to battle [[Cynthia]] for the title of Pokémon League Champion. Their battle was seen on a television in the last episode of the ''Diamond & Pearl'' series and ended with Cynthia winning. |
