**Florinia Sevilla**, also known as **Rini** or **Flobot**, is the Grass type Gym Leader of the Reborn League, an alumnus and head instructor of the Onyx Trainers' School. and the older sister of Fern. She hands out the Canopy Badge, the 2nd Gym Badge that the player receives.

Florinia tends to be a bit emotionally detached and focused on the facts at hand, causing Fern to refer to her as Flobot. Julia remarks that this behavior is unusual for Florinia, although Titania says she herself to blame for that.

## Story Events

### Peridot Ward - Mosswater Industrial

Florinia is first met at the Mosswater Industrial factory in the Peridot Ward, where Julia reveals that the two were friends at school. She is introduced as Fern's older brother, to whom she is known as "Flobot" because of her robotic mannerisms; Julia protests this nickname.

The group then proceeds to enter the factory, now that Julia has blown a hole in the front door with her Electrode, to stop Team Meteor from attacking Julia's gym. Once they enter, Florinia suggests that the group split up to better explore the factory, partnering with Julia while the player is left with Fern.

Later in the factory, the pairs meet up again at a gated entrance, where Florinia begins to hack into the security system while Julia tells the player and Fern to go find explosives to blow up the gate. If the player returns and talks to Florinia after entering the second password but before talking to Julia after picking up the explosives, she will have successfully disabled the security protocols and the gate. If instead, the player talks to Julia with the explosives, Florinia will finish her hacking right before Julia blows up the gate anyway.

Florinia then assists Julia in battling against an unknown Meteor leader and Ace while the player and Fern battle Aster and Eclipse. The group then reconvenes outside the factory after Julia sets off explosives, where Florinia informs the player and Julia that she must depart to attend to a strange floral situation in the Obsidia Ward. She then gives the player the Field Notes app to record data on Field Effects before leaving.

### Obsidia Ward

After the player defeats Julia, Florinia appears when the player and Victoria try to enter the Obsidia Ward. She is initially hesitant to allow Victoria, as an unknown factor, to access the area, but after Victoria tells Florinia she only wants to help, she tells the guard to let the pair in.

Florinia can then be found outside the entrance to the Obsidia Park, and will ask Victoria and the player to go retrieve the TMX for Cut from Amaria, who was investigating other suspicious individuals spotted to the south. After the player returns with the TM (and Amaria), the group proceeds into the park, where they split up to cover ground faster. Florinia, along with Amaria, is captured by the PULSE Tangrowth's vines, but is freed when the player defeats ZEL; she then informs the player that she expects them back at her gym in the near future.

### Onyx Trainers' School

Florinia acts as the head of Onyx Trainers' School. A student outside of it will mention that she once studied there, as well. In Florinia's old shared room with Titania, Amaria, and Julia, an entry from her diary can be found. In it, she begins by writing that the entry the player reads is her final one. She explains that this is due to her having failed to repress her emotions. Because she has failed, and because sharing sharing them has brought her scorn from others, Florinia determines that complete emotional excision is necessary, beginning with ending her diary. It is later revealed that these "others" refers to Titania, who pretended to speak on behalf of Amaria and pushed Florinia away as a calculated movement.

Once the player defeats Fern in the Onyx Trainers' School and unlocks the gate to Florinia's arena by answering the questions in a nearby room, they can battle Florinia to earn their second Gym Badge. After Florinia is defeated, Amaria will arrive to inform FLorinia that Borealis was seen in the Beryl Ward; Florinia requests that the player assists and gives them the PULSE Dex.

### Fiore Mansion

Florinia is not seen in the story until after the player enters the Water Treatment Plant to save Amaria and Titania; she, alongside Julia, is then visible for the few seconds of the animation where the player ascends the waterfall back to the Celestinine Cascade.

Florinia and Julia then catch up to the player as they head back to the Fiore Mansion, where Florinia gives the player the TMX for Fly. The group then spots Team Meteor in a helicopter, having come to retrieve Amaria's Sapphire Bracelets, and heads up to help Amaria and Titania. The player then partners with Florinia for the first two battles in the ensuing gauntlet, fighting a pair of Meteor grunts and then Blake and Fern. When Sirius pretends to hold Fern hostage and asks Florinia to trade the bracelets for his life, she refuses, even before Fern reveals that he joined Team Meteor.

If the player defeated Solaris atop Pyrous Mountain, Fern verbally attacks Florinia after his defeat, calling her an emotionless robot and denouncing any relationship they still had. Sirius then orders his Seviper to attack Florinia, knocking her out of the fight, and Julia takes her place for the third battle against Solaris and Orderly John. If, instead, the player did not defeat Solaris atop Pyrous Mountain, Florinia remains the player's partner for the third battle.

Regardless of outcome, Florinia departs for Calcenon City after Team Meteor retreats in order to find Fern and correct his past choices.

### Calcenon City

Once the player has earned Amaria's Gym Badge, Florinia can be found in a house in Calcenon City, arguing with Hardy. When the player arrives, they explain that Florinia tracked down the source of the sleep spell over Agate City. However, while Hardy wants to charge in, Florinia is hesitant, especially since so many others have gone missing.

* Zekrom Route/Mixed Route
* Reshiram Route

Hardy then asks Florinia to stay back and make sure Team Meteor doesn't try anything in Calcenon, while he and the player go save Agate.

After the player returns to Calcenon following the Glass Workstation arc and talks to Eve outside, the player can enter the Calcenon house to find Florinia, who has just heard from Ciel that Agate has started waking up, but Team Meteor is attempting to seize the city. She, Serra, Shelly, Hardy, and the player then head to Agate to save the city

Titania then arrives and tries to break through Florinia's emotionless shell, before telling Hardy and the player to go deal with Agate while she stays behind with Florinia.

She, Hardy, Shelly, Titania, and the player then head to Agate to save the city.
### Agate City

Florinia can then be seen battling Team Meteor with her Cradily in Agate City when the player arrives.

### Labradorra City

Florinia is then one of the participants in the raid on Labradorra City; while she is not seen in the initial entrance seen, she shows up alongside Shelly and Serra to hold off Lin while the player fights Zero and PULSE Clawitzer.

If the player is on the Zekrom route, she can then be found outside the entrance to the Labradorra Arena once PULSE Mime has been defeated, warning the player to be cautious and make preparations.

### Labradorra Arena

* Zekrom Route/Mixed Route
* Reshiram Route

Florinia is part of the group that takes place in the Labradorra Tournament, fighting alongside the player against Lumi and Eve in the first round. In the second round, she then battles the player; before the match, Terra makes fun of her robotic speech patterns. After being defeated, she is then "deleted" and plays no further part in the tournament until after Saphira has been defeated.

Florinia is part of the group that takes place in the Labradorra Tournament, fighting alongside Titania against Amaria and Julia in the first round. Before this match, Florinia takes Titania's side in the resulting argument between Titania and Julia, believing that their friendship cannot be recovered. In the second round, she then fights against Titania. Before battling, Titania tells Florinia to get over herself and stop acting so mechanical; she then reveals that she was the one who caused Florinia to act this way by lashing out at her to keep her from being dragged down by Amaria. Florinia then defeats Titania and battles against the player in the third round; before the match, Terra makes fun of her robotic speech patterns. After being defeated, she is then "deleted" and plays no further part in the tournament until after Saphira has been defeated.

After the player has claimed their last Gym Badge from Saphira, Florinia will clip through the Labradorra Arena walls when the player exits the Gym into the main area before heading to the right. When talked to, Terra attempts to "delete" her, but Florinia refuses. She then explains that the Labradorra Arena is designed as digital architecture using holograms that is merely simulating individuals being "deleted", and that she's created a program to reverse such efforts. Terra then attempts to find this program, but fails; while she is searching, Florinia creates an avatar for her, allowing her to then fight the player.

Once Terra is defeated, she deletes herself. Florinia then opens a path to Victory Road for the player, but stays behind herself to help the other tournament participants.

### Victory Road

Florinia appears near the end of Victory Road, once the player attempts to activate the gate leading to the final room, explaining to the player that she has released all Labradorra participants and has come to assist. She then tells the player to acquire the twelve Crystal Stars in order to solve the gate puzzle, opening a teleport point to give the player easier access to where they can be found. If further talked to before the puzzle is solved, Florinia offers the player Remote PC functionality and will explain the puzzle.

* Zekrom Route/Mixed Route
* Reshiram Route

Florinia then follows the player into the last room, but is told by Fern to stand down as he battles the player. Fern then lashes out at both the player and Florinia, complaining that he was never smiled at and that the player got in the way of his deserved glory. Lin then arrives and supports Fern's argument, despite Florinia objecting to his claims that his help wouldn't have been appreciated. When Fern attempts to leave, Lin slashes his face. Florinia then takes him with her for treatment.

Fern then lashes out at both the player and Florinia, complaining that he was never smiled at and that the player got in the way of his deserved glory. Titania then arrives and tears into Fern's argument, claiming that he never did anything worth smiling at, after which Lin also shows up and joins the debate. Titania then slashes Fern's face, and Florinia takes him with her as they leave.

### Nightclub

After the Cresselia Quest, Florinia shows up at the Nightclub. Given the player's sudden disappearance, Florinia is relieved to see them again, though she reveals another reason for her feeling that way. She had been the only one to doubt Julia's claims regarding the player's status and whereabouts, which were numerous and false. This, in turn, made Julia's efforts redouble, which Florinia found to be maddening. With the player's arrival, these claims would subside, which Florinia is grateful for. From this point onwards, Florinia will ask the player to show her whatever Ultra Beasts they may have captured, for academic purposes.

### Twilight Factory

Her interest piqued by reports of unknown machinery, Florinia is found in the Twilight Factory. Such machinery frustrates her attempts at hacking it, however. She notes that the machines do not operate like conventional machinery, but only look like them. She also explains the Factory's ability to fuse Z-Cells into Zygarde formes. Still curious, Florinia decides to stay for a while longer to try and hack the machinery.

### Unexplored Territory

The player later finds Florinia in Unexplored Territory, having finished her pursuit of Latios and Latias. After a battle against the Eon Pokemon, they decide to repay Florinia for freeing them from the Anomaly energy field. Through Latias' telepathy, Latios' illusions, and the player's guidance, Florinia comes to acknowledge several of her own deeply rooted emotions, which she had greatly repressed.

At first, she will only acknowledge negative ones, such as anger, sorrow, and guilt- additionally recognizing the drawbacks of repressing them. She is most appalled to realize positive emotions dwell within her as well, going as far as to see her joy as something that needs to be treated immediately. Florinia identifies this emotion, as well as passion, to be compromising, deeming them as leverage others may use to control her.

As the player intervenes once again, she admits fear is the emotion that has truly kept her from acknowledging and expressing positive emotions. Fear took her over, as she implies, because of the severe conflicts she had with Titania, which led to a rupture in the friendship she had with Amaria and Julia.

With one last aid from the player, Florinia finally understands the desire which led her to develop her fear: the desire to be loved. She did not long for romantic love, as she explains, but rather for her friendship with Titania, Amaria, and Julia to be kept, so they would all stay together. Rather than accept that Titania was overwhelmed by her relationship with Amaria, and that the situation was helpless, Florinia instead internalized the thought of herself being a burden to others. Concluding that her emotions, her "weakness", had weighed her down, she decided to cut them off. Having identified her emotions, and the detriments of repressing them, Florinia leaves Unexplored Territory with much to process.

### Aegir Cave

Being called to Aegir Cave by Julia, Florinia is encountered there with her. They are both there to try to contain and solve Titania and Amaria's fight against each other, which is triggered by the Red Orb and the Blue Orb. Since the Orbs are inducing Umbral states on Titania and Amaria, Florinia deduces that the player must bring a Rayquaza to dispel the auras. She remains on Aegir Cave, and voices her worry for Amaria and Titania.

When the player returns with a Rayquaza, Florinia decides to leave the fighting to the player, as she has mixed feelings regarding her friends. Once either Amaria or Titania (depending on wether the player is on the Zekrom or Reshiram path) regains consciousness thanks to the player's efforts, Florinia laments on her powerlessness due to her not knowing how to swim to save Titania or Amaria. After Titania/Amaria saves Amaria/Titania, Florinia stays with them. Julia joins them, and with the player as witness, the four of them reflect on their relationship with each other.

Florinia concludes that having the same friendship they had in the past is not preferable. She does, however, accept Julia's friends to be closer friends, recognizing that their relationship doesn't have to end completely, as is the case with Amaria and Titania's relationship. Florinia then thanks the player for their continued support, and for bearing witness to meaningful events, like the recent conversation. After failing to make a cheering rhyme, following Julia's stead, they both go back to the Nightclub.

## Quotes

* "*Conclusion forthcoming...*" -When sending out last Pokémon.
* "*...Very well.*" - After defeat.

 [Florinia]: Welcome, <player>.
[Florinia]: Your assistance in Meteor-related instances is appreciated, however, that alone fails to merit the appropriation of a badge.
[Florinia]: In order to determine eligibility for badge-ownership, further testing is required.
[Florinia]: Do not mistake the impartial application of these tests as unthankfullness. It is simply procedure. Accordingly, let us begin.
[Florinia]: Audience, please take note on standard battling procedure. The demonstration will commence.
[Florinia]: Hypothesis: Subject possesses insufficient data for conclusive results.
[Florinia]: Expected outcome: Failure.

 [Florinia]: ...Challenger remains due to receive Canopy Badge.
*{player receives Gym Badge}*
[Florinia]: The Canopy Badge encourages proper behavior among Pokemon up to Level 35.
[Florinia]: Additionally, as per custom, accept this TM.
*{player receives TM}*
[Florinia]: Nature Power varies based on the terrain and Field Effects in which it is used. To use it effectively, one must exercise proper knowledge and understanding-- a staple of an effective trainer.
[Florinia]: Use it wisely.
[Florinia]: Now, from here, where do you intend to go?
[Florinia]: If you do not have other intentions, I have one final request for you.
[Florinia]: Because of my status as Leader and faculty of this school, I cannot stray far from it right now.
[Florinia]: However, there is still a crisis in this city. As you no doubt now, the Jasper and Beryl Ward have been ransacked by the same spell as Obsidia.
[Florinia]: However, whereas we caught Obsidia in a budding state, we were not so fortunate with those wards.
[Florinia]: Being that you alone have had the successful experience of terminating the previously active, project, I ask you venture to the Jasper Ward.
[Florinia]: Discover if there is not a similar plot behind the destruction there.
[Florinia]: Moreover, this will be useful for your own quest as well. One of the Reborn League Gyms lies beyond Jasper.
[Florinia]: I will make preparations for your passage into Jasper.
[Florinia]: I might wish you 'Good luck,' however 'luck' is merely an illusory essentialization of statistics, and is neither inherently good nor bad.
[Florinia]: Regardless, farewell.

## Profile

 A special report from... the Investigation Squad!
Yo, Reborn City! What's up?! We're here with the Reborn Rundown giving you a look at the leaders of the Reborn League! I'm your host, DJ Arclight, now on air!
Let's have a quick review of Head Instructor Florinia, Leader of the Onyx Trainers' School and Onyx Ward. Take notes!
Like any good principal, Florinia takes education and knowledge very seriously. Her fighting style makes use of both weather and terrain to overwhelm her opponents in stall tactics with residual damage effects.
Not only that, but her signature move, Nature Power, takes a brain to use. Most trainers know that the attack changes based on the environment but, can you match your moves to the field you're on?
You'll certainly need a tactical advantage to take on her star Pokemon, Cradily! Taking center stage in her Desert-Rose fighting style, a Mono-Grass Sandstorm hybrid, Cradily requires either pure strength or pure cunning to take out.
That's all for now, but remember, Trainers, Keep fighting with everything you've got! Hold your spirits high, and even you can defeat the Reborn League!

## Interview

Hello! Gossip Gardevoir here in Interview Intermission, bringing YOU the inside scoop on Reborn's celebrity figures!
Today we have a special report with Gym Leader Florinia of the Onyx Ward!
Many trainers are well-acquainted with Florinia as the head-mistress of the Onyx Trainers' School-- Tell us, Florinia, how exactly did you manage to secure a position so prestigious at your age?
FLORINIA: Principality of the school was requested following the acceptance of the gym leader position. The conversion of city-public property was acknowledged as necessary to be forfeit for the foundation of the Reborn League, Thus, what was once solely a school became solely a gym. Upon gaining control of the facility, and proper permissions following, the institution was hybridized.
GARDEVOIR: I see! So in other words, it was your idea to combine them! You must have a real passion for education to be willing to take that on yourself!
FLORINIA: Passion is an irrelevant factor. The operation is necessary, and I am able to function adequately.
GARDEVOIR: Oh? Does that mean you don't enjoy the work?
FLORINIA: Enjoyment is a triviality. Only function matters.
GARDEVOIR: How boring! Surely there must be something you enjoy doing, Florinia?
FLORINIA: Personal emotion is too confounding of a condition to reach that assumption safely. And misinterpretation of human emotion can lead to severe risk. This writer has already lost too much at its hand, thus as logically directed, the risk is avoided.
GARDEVOIR: Oh my, this is juicy! So you were hurt by someone in the past and that's why you ignore your emotions-- is that what I'm understanding?
FLORINIA: ... A sufficient abstract, yes.
GARDEVOIR: Lovely! Do tell, what happened?
FLORINIA: The conclusion will not be forthcoming. The previous analysis is sufficient. Good Bye.
GARDEVOIR: W-What..? I say whan the interview ends, not you! Darn it! This was finally getting good!

## Journal Entry

 Dear Diary,
This will be my final entry.
The retention of emotions has proven veritably counter-productive.
Irrational thoughts and feelings remain a severe detriment to work efficiency.
Moreover, they appear to invariably breed scorn in those with whom they are shared.
This writer has lost much on behalf of these turbulent confounding variables.
Emotional excision has thereby been deemed necessary, beginning with the termination of archival.
Farewell.

## Trivia
