Enter the Pyro Raider!
Blaze Ryugane is a talented and fierce Raider who arrives in Techrus City in order to achieve his goal to become the world's strongest Raider. As he enters, he starts a battle against a couple of robust Raiders who planned to steal a Rayraid from the first person they see enter into town. With a calm attitude, Blaze manages to defeat them all using Dragburn's scorching flames to knock all of their Rayraids out at the same time, winning the battle.

Blaze later enters the Battle Park where he meets Darcy, a Rayraid data collector who works for the Owen-Tech shop. She is amazed to see Dragburn's increased combination between attack, defense, and speed despite being an Attack-type. He then proves this to her by challenging anyone to a battle and shouts about being the strongest Raider in town, angering a few Raiders who plan to take him on themselves. Blaze agrees and is excited to battle some more.

In the battle, he is confused after a few Raiders' Rayraids attacked and riccochet at Dragburn but gets the hang of the battle and has it strike back in fast-pitched attacks. Dragburn manages to unleash its special move, Pyro Tornado, and creates a powerful whirlwind of flames that knocks every Rayraid out of the field, giving Blaze a victory at hand.

Satisfied, Blaze asks someone else for a battle and Akuira Griffon appears.

Rayraids

 * Pyro Dragburn: Blaze's current Rayraid, an Attack-type Rayraid that he used as a child. It is based on the legendary Dragon of mythology and has the abilities of the Fire element.

Special Moves

 * Pyro Tornado: Dragburn's first signature move. When Dragburn explodes, a spiraling tornado of blazing fire engulfs it and later attacks the battlefield. The tornado itself spin faster as it flies every Rayraid into the air, knocking them out of the battlefield.
 * Firestorm Attack: Dragburn flies into the sky and dives towards the opponent. It then summons fiery energy that shrouds Dragburn and shapes into a large, burning dragon with an enormous wingspan. It then attacks the opponent and defeats them with a powerful fire explosion.
 * Magnum Blazer: With Blaze's spirit unleashed, Dragburn flies fast and channels pure fiery energy using tachyon energy. Dragburn's speed and power increases together, allowing Dragburn to strike at the opponent like a burning rocket.

Trivia

 * Blaze's hair and clothing is a reference to the fire element, much like his Rayraid, Pyro Dragburn.
