May's Blaziken: Difference between revisions

===History===

====''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]''====

=====Hoenn=====

In ''[[AG001|Get the Show on the Road!]]'', Blaziken was given to May by [[Professor Birch]] in [[Littleroot Town]] when it was still a {{p|Torchic}}. She chose it as her [[starter Pokémon]] because she thought {{p|Treecko}} was creepy and scary, and {{p|Mudkip}} had attacked her earlier with a {{m|Water Gun}} in the face. In contrast, she seemed to like Torchic's cute appearance and sweet nature.

=====Kanto=====

During May's Kanto journey, Combusken had more appearances due to the Pokémon Contests allowing Coordinators to use different Pokémon for each round. In ''[[AG144|A Hurdle for Squirtle]]'', Combusken was used for the Appeals Round of the [[Saffron City]] Contest, where it used Fire Spin and Sky Uppercut on May's untied bandanna to knot it back to her head. Later on, in ''[[AG151|Weekend Warrior]]'', it was used for the battle rounds of the {{ka|Silver Town}} Pokémon Contest. May and Combusken faced Coordinator {{OBP|Jeremy|AG151}} and his {{p|Venusaur}} in the final match; after a really close battle, where the Grass type used the powerful {{m|Frenzy Plant}} attack, May and Combusken ended as the winners, earning them the Ribbon.  

In ''[[AG162|Spontaneous Combusken]]'', it was used once again for the battle rounds, this time in the [[Chrysanthemum Island]] Contest. May and Combusken first faced Jessie and {{TP|James|Mime Jr.}}. Though Mime Jr. was able to {{m|Mimic}} Combusken's Fire Spin and hit it with the unusual {{m|Tickle}} attack, Combusken managed to land a Sky Uppercut through the opposing Fire Spin and win the battle. In the second battle, Combusken was seen beating a {{p|Skarmory}} with {{m|Quick Attack}}. In the final battle, May and Combusken faced [[Brianna]] and her {{p|Vibrava}}. After being weakened by {{m|Screech}}, Combusken managed a Fire Spin, however it was countered by {{m|Dragon Breath}}. It was then trapped by Vibrava's {{m|Sand Tomb}} and remained immobilized while May's points decreased, until it broke out with a new move: {{m|Mega Kick}}. Combusken was then able to swiftly win the match and May received her third Ribbon.

Upon its evolution, it became much more assertive and confident, as it felt it didn't need to compete with Beautifly for attention anymore. As a Blaziken, it was shown to be quite an adept battler, being able to battle on par with [[Ash's Sceptile]] and work well with [[Dawn's Piplup]].
