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, which it showed by hopping over to her and nuzzling against her legs affectionately.

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 angered Torchic enough to fire an Ember attack, which hit not only Azurill but a {{p|Marill}} and {{p|Azumarill}}. They simultaneously sprayed Water Gun at Torchic, knocking it out in one shot.
