The Blaziken is a large flightless bird of prey native to the deserts and savannahs of the Kanto and Hoenn Regions. Powerfully built to run at incredibly high speeds in its vast enviroment, it constitutes a formidable predator of the great plains.
These birds are several shades of dark red, with white plummage around their necks, and yellow/orange plumage sorrounding the wrist and ankle areas, though these vary from male to female. Inmature Blaziken, often called Torchics or Combusken in their youthful stages, typically have orange and yellow plumage, that shed upon reaching maturity. Blaziken generally live alone or in pairs, guarding territories that can extend up to 35 km2. They tend to mate for long extended periods or even for life, and take care of their chicks until they reach full maturity. Once gaining independance, they wander off for years at a time until they can find a new territory in which it can establish dominance.
This species tends to show varying degrees of physical change among the adult genders, young adult males and females share a quite similar appearance, with yellow/orange plumage on the lower extremities, and long white feathers extruding from the back of its head towards it's back, while elder, more well fed and experienced males tend to grow black plumage and big white crests on its head and suffer a slight increase in size. It is extremely difficult to achieve this state in captivity, thouh recent studies have shown that the presence of certain soils in this birds diet help it achieve this healthier state.
Blaziken use their agility and speed combined with powerful legs and massive, sharp claws and beak to hunt a variety of prey, generally smaller pokemon (mammals, reptiles, fish and other birds) and carrion. While its powerful legs and sharp claws serve as its primary weapon in the wild, it is its powerfull eyes that allow it to hunt and detect prey in its vast, often foliage filled ecosystem, being able to see at least 8 times better than the average human being. It can reputedly spot a pikachu 3 miles away.

For centuries the Blaziken has been highly regarded among human cultures of the Kanto and Hoenn regions for its proficiency in hunting and its incredibly high speeds, with many martial arts moves named after or inspired directly upon the Blazikens percieved martial prowess. It's feathers were a highly sought after luxury by warrior groups, and were associated with high status and proficiency in war, while the Blaziken itself was sought after as a pet by both Kanto and Hoenn nobility. In modern times the habitat of the Blaziken has been somewhat reduced by settlement encroachment in the area, though its presence remains fairly popolous in the regions and has yet to show signs of harsh decrees.
As a pokemon pet Blaziken is not recommended for anybody except the most experienced of trainers, and must be raised from a torchic with extreme responsability and care, as these animals can be very dangerous, however, properly educated and trained, a Blaziken can be a worthy and loyal companion and a great hunter.

Boy this one took a while, think I am getting better at background scenery, or at least ever so slightly less lazy. Anyway, here it is.
