Flare is a Flareon character in the fanfiction Lucki, about the original trainer Lucki Middling. Lucki receives Flare in the third chapter. He is a breeding center Pokémon who was given to the Rustboro Pokémon Center for adoption when the breeding center was closed. The Nurse Joy had adopted out the rest, and only had him left to find a trainer for. Part of the reason for him being last to be chosen is age. Flare was an adolescent with no battling experience, and most Pokémon are either bought young or wild-caught ones that, by nature, have some fighting experience. He doesn't display much personality compared to some of Lucki's other Pokémon, but is the only one of Lucki's Pokémon that seems talkative with the Absol. He does not like Raiden.
