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".

− | In | + | In ''Diamond'', ''Pearl'' and ''Platinum'' (as well as ''Brilliant Diamond''/''Shining Pearl''), 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.

In ''Platinum'', he would later appear by the Battle Tower upon the player's arrival at the Battle Frontier. He dragged Volkner with him, and they challenged Lucas/Dawn and [[Barryl]] 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, with Flint feeling that he had a right to lounge around there due to his belief that the Villa was purchased with Lucas/Dawn's Elite Four prize money. While there, he would banter with Volkner about the Pokémon League needing more decorations and his beliefs about Fire-types being the future and superior to Electric-types. | In ''Platinum'', he would later appear by the Battle Tower upon the player's arrival at the Battle Frontier.

In that chapter, Flint had just been left without teammates for the [[Pokémon Masters League]] due to [[Blaine]] having thrown out his back, so he convinced [[Shauntal]] to battle alongside him. After they were defeated by [[Scottie/Bettie|the player]], Flint was briefly left speechless, and Shauntal convinced him to join Scottie/Bettie's team, while she took a step back to observe the action. Flint also appeared in the "The Eccentric Electrician" Story Event, where Volkner took part in battles with Scottie/Bettie and [[Clemont]] in order to revitalized Flint after he was burned out. After Flint regained his energy, he helped Volkner to easily dispatch members of [[Team Break]]. It turned out that Flint had burned himself out by battling too many trainers in preparation for his battle with Volkner, and he went on to scold Volkner for the renovations that he had made to the local machines. |
