Strategy
Lavaridge Gym Leader Flannery specializes in Fire-type Pokémon. You'll need to navigate the two floors of Lavaridge Gym to make it up to the leader. A strong Water-type should make easy work of Flannery's Pokémon. Flannery also has a weakness to Rock-type, if Water isn't an option for you. Pelipper is a good choice that also has the ability to learn many HMs and an evolved Geodude could probably do the trick. Watch out for the hard-hitting Overheat and be ready for her to use Super Potions.
Flannery will reward you with the Heat Badge and TM50 - Overheat for defeating her. The Heat Badge will make it so all Pokémon Level 50 and below will obey you and will allow you to use the HM Strength outside of battle.
