'''Moria''' (Japanese: '''ナミ''' ''Nami'') is a [[character of the day]] who appeared in ''[[XY036|Battles in the Sky!]]''. She is a {{pkmn|Trainer}} who {{tc|Sky Trainer|focuses}} on [[Sky Battles]] and also an instructor at the [[Kalos Canyon]] Sky Battle center.

Moria first appeared flying over {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}, as she was involved in a battle with another Sky Trainer. She used her {{p|Talonflame}} against her opponent's {{p|Skarmory}} and managed to win. Later, when Ash was practicing in the nearby Sky Battle center, she approached him and challenged him to a Sky Battle. Ash gladly accepted, even though he had only just started practicing. Moria announced she would be battling with her Talonflame and that she wanted to battle [[Ash's Fletchling]], but her Talonflame refused, not seeing a worthy opponent in Fletchling. She then asked Ash to use his {{AP|Hawlucha}}. Since Fletchling really wanted to battle too, Moria promised that if Hawlucha managed to win, she and Talonflame would battle Fletchling too.

Although it put up a good fight, Hawlucha proved to be no match for Talonflame. Hawlucha was defeated and this meant Moria and Talonflame wouldn't battle Ash's Fletchling. Bonnie came up to Moria however, and asked if she would still battle Fletchling. This request was backed up by Ash, but Moria was hesitant, since they already had made an agreement. Right at that moment, Talonflame was caught in a net by {{TRT}}. Moria and the others followed Team Rocket's balloon with their wing suits. [[Serena's Fennekin]] managed to destroy the balloon, after which the battle against Team Rocket continued on land. While Ash battled Team Rocket, Moria tried to rush to the net with her Talonflame to free it, but Ash's Fletchling already managed to do so before her. Moria then joined the fight and had her Talonflame blast Team Rocket off. After the battle, Talonflame thanked Fletchling and now accepted its request to battle, causing Moria to accept as well.

During the battle, Talonflame managed to overpower Fletchling. Just when it seemed Fletchling was done for, it evolved into {{p|Fletchinder}}. It also learned {{m|Flame Charge}}, which it used time after time on Talonflame, also drastically increasing its speed. Talonflame proved no match for this newfound power and was defeated. Moria accepted her defeat and congratulated Ash on his win. Afterwards she said her goodbyes to Ash and his friends as they continued on their journey.

It first appeared battling a {{p|Skarmory}} and easily managed to win. It later rejected its Trainer's proposal to battle [[Ash's Fletchling]], not seeing a worthy opponent in it, and instead battled [[Ash's Hawlucha]]. During the battle Talonflame made the first move by using Peck. Hawlucha dodged it and used {{m|Flying Press}}, which Talonflame also managed to dodge. It then used Steel Wing, which hit, slamming Hawlucha into a wall. It followed up with Brave Bird, but Hawlucha managed to dodge again. Afterwards it in turn dodged Hawlucha's {{m|Karate Chop}} and continued by using Fire Blast. This hit Hawlucha, but it was not defeated yet. Ash ordered it to grab Talonflame's leg, forcing the battle to become a close-range fight. Talonflame easily shook Hawlucha off however, slamming it against a wall once more. Still not defeated, Hawlucha used Karate Chop again, but it was easily dodged by Talonflame, who then ended the battle by using Steel Wing.

After the battle, it was caught in a net by {{TRT}}. It was later freed from the net by Ash's Fletchling and then sent Team Rocket blasting off with Fire Blast. After this, Talonflame thanked Fletchling for freeing it and now realized it would be a better opponent than it originally suspected. It accepted Fletchling's request to battle, also causing Moria to accept.

Talonflame started off once again, now with Steel Wing. Fletchling dodged, and also managed to dodge Talonflame's Peck and Fire Blast. Fletchling then countered with its own Peck, and managed to hit Talonflame. Talonflame now used Brave Bird, and hit Fletchling. They then engaged in a battle of speed, with Talonflame chasing Fletchling. It eventually managed to corner Fletchling against a wall. With Fletchling seemingly having nowhere to go, Talonflame used Steel Wing. Surprisingly, Fletchling still managed to dodge it by speedingly flying up. After this it also managed to dodge another Brave Bird from Talonflame, and avoided its Fire Blast by using {{m|Double Team}}. Talonflame was then hit by Fletchling's {{m|Razor Wind}}. It managed to counter by hitting Fletchling with both Steel Wing and Fire Blast. Just when Fletchling seemed done for, it evolved into {{p|Fletchinder}}. With the evolution, it learned {{m|Flame Charge}}, which it immediately used on Talonflame. Fletchinder again dodged Talonflame's Brave Bird and followed up with a series of Flame Charges, drastically increasing its speed in the process. Now completely outsped, Talonflame had no chance and was ultimately defeated by a final Flame Charge.

Talonflame's known moves are {{m|Steel Wing}}, {{m|Fire Blast}}, {{m|Peck}}, and {{m|Brave Bird}}.}}
