==History==

[[File:May Torchic.png|thumb|left|220px|As a {{p|Torchic}}]]

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. However, she seemed to like Torchic's cute appearance and sweet nature.

In [[AG002|the next episode]] May used Torchic to try to catch her first wild Pokémon, an {{p|Azurill}}. Despite trying its best, the Azurill was too fast and agile for Torchic, easily dodging its attacks and causing Torchic to run into other objects. This eventually angers Torchic enough to fire an Ember attack, which hits not only Azurill but a {{p|Marill}} and {{p|Azumarill}}. They all simultaneously spray Water Gun at Torchic, knocking it out in one shot.

In ''[[AG082|A Shroomish Skirmish]]'', Torchic got separated from its Trainer and got lost alongside [[Ash's Corphish]]. Some wild {{p|Shroomish}} and a {{p|Breloom}} start attacking them, which causes Torchic to evolve into Combusken. Breloom challenges Combusken to hand-to-hand combat. Combusken obliges, and a vicious fight ensues. Both Pokémon are hit numerous times in the face by punches and kicks, and in the end a cross-counter knocks out both Pokémon.  

When May got the five required Ribbons, she participated on the [[Hoenn Grand Festival]], where Combusken was used in her quarter-finals battle round against [[Drew]]'s {{p|Flygon}} and {{TP|Drew|Roselia}}, alongside Skitty, in ''[[AG123|Rhapsody in Drew]]''. Together, they managed to put up a great fight, but they were defeated, leaving May within the Top 8 Coordinators of the Festival.

In ''[[AG162|Spontaneous Combusken]]'', it was used once again for the battle rounds, this time in the [[Chrysanthemum Island]] Convention. 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 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.

In ''[[AG191|Once More with Reeling]]'', during the break of a Pokémon Contest, Ash and {{ashfr}} were trying to stop Team Rocket from stealing {{AP|Pikachu}} and other Pokémon. In the midst of the ensuing battle, Combusken evolved into {{p|Blaziken}}, and used its {{m|Blaze Kick}} to send Team Rocket flying, upon which Ash remarked "would I love to battle you". Afterwards, May used Blaziken in the Battle Phase of the unofficial [[Terracotta Town]] Pokémon Contest against [[Ash's Sceptile]]. Although it had a type advantage over Sceptile and its Blaze Ability activated at the same time Sceptile's Overgrow did, the battle ended in a tie. Later, it left for Johto with May and the rest of her Pokémon.

Blaziken appeared again when May made a guest appearance in ''[[DP076|A Full Course Tag Battle!]]''. It was used in the [[Seven Stars Restaurant]] Tag Battles, in which it battled alongside [[Dawn's Piplup]]. When it was first called out, Ash seemed to be pleased at seeing it again, and Brock remarked that it had gotten stronger as well. After the food retrieval from Team Rocket, it was called out once again for the Tag Battle. Blaziken started off with a {{m|Blaze Kick}} but failed to hit the opponent and got hurt by Girafarig's {{m|Bite}}. The battle concluded with a combination of Piplup's {{m|Bubble Beam}} and Blaziken's {{m|Fire Spin}}, resulting in a fusion of the {{type|Fire}} and {{type|Water}} moves, knocking off both of the opponents as a result. Blaziken was not seen in the [[Wallace Cup]].
