[..Not that the same had never been said about himself and Red, but given the long gap of absence of both himself and especially Red from the public eye, there had been a lot less time for the idea to stew.]
[Blue settles in with excitement to watch the recorded match- excited not only to see the supposed 'undefeated Champion's team, but also to see Raihan's own battle techniques. They still couldn't hash out their own thirst to battle, despite their teams having been reunited... So for now, he would have to sate his hunger with watching one of his recorded battles.]
[The man doesn't battle quite how Blue expected, just from knowing his suave and relaxed self off the field. Granted, he had felt it in the pumping of blood from the memory he'd gotten of him as a child, but seeing it was something else. He certainly didn't battle like any Dragon-type user he knew- he was used to the stuffy and dignified creed of the Dragon clan, a kind of quiet but oppressive power that even other Dragon-type users in nearby regions seemed to battle with. But Raihan was different- wild, and uncontrolled... It reminded him more of the dragons of Unova than anything, but even that was hardly an approximation.]
[Furthermore, his battle style hardly relied on the Dragon type's strengths at all. Instead, he relied on his battlefield techniques- weather, terrain, set by both abilities and Dynamax moves, changing it up when it suited him. He didn't go for raw power... He whittled his opponents down by taking advantage of the surrounding effects.]
[It was hardly like any other Type specialist he'd ever seen, and he'd wondered, when he had seen the rest of Raihan's Pokémon out of their balls, just how a Torkoal had managed to get onto a Dragon user's team. Now he knew.]
