'''Luna Carson''' (Japanese: '''ルナ・カーソン''' ''Luna Carson'') is a supporting character who appeared in ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]'', and the younger sister of [[Luka Carson]].

Luna lives at the [[Mount Quena#Purity Canyon|Purity Canyon]] rest stop lodge, where she helps tourists and continues her Pokémon habitat research around [[Mount Quena]]. She took {{Ash}}, {{an|Brock}}, and {{an|Misty}} on a guided boat tour to showcase her local area's pristine condition and the many {{type|Bug}}s that call it home.

Later, both she and [[Cullen Calix]] helped Ash, {{ashfr}}, and {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}} fight against {{TRT}}. She and Cullen quickly struck up a close friendship, both sharing interests in research. Her environmental consciousness and personal connection to the Purity Canyon area rubbed off on Cullen, as he decided to instead make a synthetic medicine based on [[Mount Quena#Clarity Lake|Clarity Lake]]'s spring water. Even so, she and Cullen had their memories wiped by Mewtwo to avoid potential threats to the lives of it and the clone Pokémon. After the incident, Cullen decided to stay with her.

'''May's Blaziken''' (Japanese: '''ハルカのバシャーモ''' ''Haruka's Bursyamo'') was the [[first partner Pokémon]] that {{an|May}} obtained at the beginning of her travels in [[Hoenn]], given to her as a {{P|Torchic}} by [[Professor Birch]].

==In the anime==
===History===
====''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]''====
=====Hoenn=====
[[File:May choosing Torchic.png|thumb|left|220px|May picking Torchic to be her [[first partner Pokémon]]]]
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 [[first partner 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.

In ''[[AG003|There's no Place Like Hoenn]]'', May introduced Torchic to her family, much to the disappointment of her brother [[Max]]. It later participated in its first battle against {{TRT}}, but it and May's inexperience led to it getting kidnapped. After being rescued by {{Ash}} and {{AP|Pikachu}}, May attempted to command Torchic in battle once again, though all of its attacks ended up hitting Max instead. Despite the setbacks, Pikachu defeated the evil trio, and Torchic and May took another step toward becoming a team.

In ''[[AG005|In the Knicker of Time!]]'', May and Torchic battled against [[Nicholai]] and his {{p|Mudkip}}. Although eager, May simply told Torchic to "start attacking" instead of calling out a move. The battle did not improve afterward, with Torchic getting knocked out by a single {{m|Water Gun}}.

Due to it being very immature and inexperienced, May used Torchic sparingly after catching {{TP|May|Beautifly}} and {{TP|May|Skitty}}. During ''[[AG034|Having a Wailord of a Time]]'', Max voiced his concerns about this, wondering if May even liked Torchic.

In ''[[AG045|A Togepi Mirage!]]'', Torchic teamed up with Pikachu to face [[Colonel Hansen]]'s {{p|Ninjask}} to stop him from opening the portal to the [[Togepi Paradise]]. Unfortunately, the speedy Pokémon were able to knock Torchic out with a {{m|Shadow Ball}}, leaving Pikachu to handle them alone.
[[File:May Combusken battling Breloom.png|thumb|220px|Combusken battling against a wild Breloom]]
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}} started attacking them, causing Torchic to evolve into Combusken. Breloom challenged Combusken to hand-to-hand combat. Combusken obliged, and a vicious fight ensued. Both Pokémon were hit numerous times in the face by punches and kicks, and in the end, a cross-counter knocked out both Pokémon.

After evolving into Combusken, it proved very useful for [[Pokémon Contest]]s. The first time it took part in one was in ''[[AG090|Pokéblock, Stock and Berry]]'' and ''[[AG091|Lessons in Lilycove!]]'' when May used it in the {{ci|Lilycove}} Contest. Even though its {{m|Fire Spin}} caused problems during the [[Appeal|Appeals Round]], Combusken managed to get a score of 23.6, which helped May to reach the [[Contest Battle]]s. After defeating [[Jessie]] and {{TP|James|Chimecho}}, May had to battle {{ho|Kelly}}, a fellow [[Pokémon Coordinator]] she met before entering the Contest. Kelly and her {{p|Grumpig}} showed great talent and effort, but May and Combusken turned out as the winners, earning them the Lilycove [[Ribbon]].

When May got the five required Ribbons, she participated in the [[Hoenn Grand Festival]], where Combusken was used in the second round of the
battle stage against {{OBP|Anthony|AG122}}'s {{p|Swalot}} and {{p|Pinsir}}, alongside {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, in ''[[AG123|Rhapsody in Drew]]''. The two ended the round with more points, advancing May to the next stage, which Combusken also participated in alongside Skitty. The two faced off against [[Drew]]'s {{p|Flygon}} and {{TP|Drew|Roselia}}. Together, they managed to put up a great fight but were defeated, leaving May within the Top 8 Coordinators of the Festival.

=====Kanto=====
[[File:AG151.png|thumb|220px|left|Combusken facing off against Jeremy's Venusaur]]
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 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}} and Combusken was 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 swiftly won the match and May received her third Ribbon.
[[File:May and Combusken.png|thumb|220px|Combusken in the Kanto Grand Festival]]
Finally, in ''[[AG174|New Plot, Odd Lot!]]'', Combusken was used for the Appeals Round of the [[Mulberry City]] Pokémon Contest. {{TRT}}, who banded together with May's [[rival]] [[Harley]], attempted to ruin her performance: Harley loaned James and Meowth his {{p|Ariados}} to sabotage May's appeal and kick her out of the Contest, so she would not get the last Ribbon she needed to get into the Grand Festival; however, surprisingly, their plan backfired when Combusken's Fire Spin started enveloping Ariados' web, going upwards in a spiral manner, not only setting Combusken free from it but also surprising [[Contest Judge|all three judges]] in the process. May managed to advance to the battle rounds (narrowly, though) and went on to defeat Jessie, who this time had borrowed Harley's {{p|Banette}}, in the final round.
[[File:May Blaziken Blaze.png|thumb|220px|left|{{a|Blaze}} activated]]
For the [[Kanto Grand Festival]], Combusken was used for one of the Appeals Rounds and two battle rounds. Its appeal performance during ''[[AG180|May, We Harley Drew'd Ya!]]'', like the one in the Mulberry Contest, involved a frisbee, and easily led her to the next round. Combusken was used for May's battle against Drew, which started in ''[[AG181|Thinning the Hoard!]]'' and ended in the following episode, ''[[AG182|Channeling the Battle Zone!]]''. It battled against Drew's Flygon and {{p|Absol}}, alongside {{TP|May|Squirtle}}; however, the fierce battle left only Combusken and Absol on stage after the first half of the five minutes. Just when Absol started to get the advantage, Combusken learned {{m|Overheat}} and gave its very best until the end of the match; by an extremely narrow difference, May and Combusken were announced as the winners of the round, and May moved on to the semi-finals. Combusken faced [[Solidad]]'s {{p|Pidgeot}} and {{p|Slowbro}}, battling along with {{TP|May|Munchlax}}. As Solidad had been observing May's battling style, she was able to evade their attacks and defeated them with relative ease, leaving May in the Top 4 of the Grand Festival.

In ''[[AG191|Once More With Reeling!]]'', Combusken [[Evolution|evolved]] into {{p|Blaziken}} while attempting to stop Team Rocket from stealing {{AP|Pikachu}} and several other Pokémon. It used its newly-learned {{m|Blaze Kick}} to send Team Rocket flying, upon which Ash remarked that he would like to battle Blaziken. Afterward, May used Blaziken in the Battle Round of the [[Terracotta Town]] [[Pokémon Contest]], an informal event not sanctioned by the [[Pokémon Activities Committee]]. It went up against [[Ash's Sceptile]] in a hard-fought match that saw both Pokémon activating their {{Abilities}}. At the end of the five-minute time limit, May and Ash were tied in points, but due to the event's informality, a sudden-death round did not take place, and the battle ended in a draw, with May and Ash splitting the commemorative {{DL|Ribbon|Terracotta Medal}}. Later, it left for [[Johto]] with May and the rest of her Pokémon.

====''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''====
[[File:Dawn Piplup May Blaziken.png|thumb|220px|Blaziken and Dawn's Piplup]]
In ''[[DP076|A Full Course Tag Battle!]]'', Blaziken 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 pleased at seeing it again, and {{an|Brock}} remarked that it had also gotten stronger. 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]].

===Personality and characteristics===
[[File:May and Blaziken.png|thumb|220px|left|Blaziken and May]]
Much like May at the beginning of her {{pkmn|journey}}, Blaziken, while it was a Torchic, was very inexperienced and unsure of itself. It was also shown to be a rather curious, ditzy, and playful Pokémon. It did not know how to {{pkmn|battle}}, and it tended to wander around aimlessly when brought out of its {{i|Poké Ball}}. Additionally, it used to panic when in dangerous situations. It also showed a very compassionate demeanor as seen in ''[[AG024|A Corphish Out of Water]]'' when Torchic offered {{TP|May|Wurmple}} its food bowl when the latter wasn't eating its food.

When May started to ignore Torchic in favor of her {{TP|May|Beautifly}}, it felt like it needed to compete for its Trainer's attention and its personality began to change: it grew more determined to improve itself and recapture May's attention. Its competitive streak continued to grow as it lost most of its childishness and confusion; this culminated in its [[evolution]] into {{p|Combusken}} in ''[[AG082|A Shroomish Skirmish]]'', where it learned both {{m|Fire Spin}} and {{m|Sky Uppercut}}.

As a Fire Pokémon, Torchic feared water, as demonstrated in ''[[AG019|Sharpedo Attack!]]'', when it chose not to follow its Trainer in jumping into the ocean.

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]].

Misty Most of All

Ttalker: Corrected Singer Rachael did not sing this song

'''Misty Most of All''' is a song sung by [[Yvette Laboy]] and written by Joe Garrity, [[Norman J. Grossfeld]], and [[John Siegler]]. It was played during the montage of flashbacks in ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]''. It was released in German on the {{de|Anime Hits 3 (CD)|Anime Hits 3}} CD in 2004.

==Lyrics==
''<ab>Goodbye
Funny how that's such a hard thing to say
Now it's time to let go
but never thought I'd feel this way
Promise not to be sad
but we both knew I was lying
Got to fight back the tears
'cause can't let you see me crying
You're more than just my best friend
What makes me {{an|Misty}} most of all
in our final curtain call
is knowing that I won't see you again</ab>''
