Prazenn is the Master of the Wu Qin Xi Quintet. It has an amazing fighting ability, being able to move lightning fast despite its tremendous size, twisting and weaving in a rhythm and then striking with its tail, head or whiskers.
Most of the time though, it will be found coiled up, meditating, emptying its mind of all thoughts to achieve perfect inner calm. Some Prazenn will sit motionless for hundreds of years, waiting patiently for who knows what. But don't let this passive, placid behaviour fool you into thinking it is weak. The calm mental state it achieves hones it skill, awareness and fighting prowess to the max. It can uncoil itself and be ready for battle in milliseconds.
Long ago, before the Knock-Out League existed, it is said there was a Prazenn that lived atop what is now called Prazenn Plateau on Nature Island. It ruled the mountain, challenging any Pokémon or person that entered its territory to fight. It won all of these battles. There were however, five Pokémon who came very close to winning, and so it gained respect for them, and let them live on the mountain with it to help gaurd the territory. These five Pokémon were a Kranek, a Munkadi, a Ervofist, a Fawntae and a Tigrass, and later became known as the Wu Qin Xi Quintet.
One day a young martial artist, who had heard of the six Pokémon living on the mountain and their fighting prowess, climbed the mountain in hopes of learning from them. One by one, the Pokémon challenged him, and one by one, he defeated them until there was only the Prazenn left. The Prazenn was impressed, but swore that it would use every ounce of its strength to defeat the man. The fight lasted all night, appearing as though man and Pokémon were evenly matched. But as dawn came, and the Pukala flew over the horizon, the man finally defeated the Prazenn. Humbled the Prazenn bowed down to the man, praising him his ability and calling him the champion of Prazenn Plateau. The man thanked the Prazenn, and then bowed back, acknowledging the Prazenn's own ability, and the man and the Pokémon of the mountain became close friends.
Word spread throughout the region and soon people were coming from all over to challenge the man, first in martial arts, but people were challenging him to Pokémon battles as well, and the Knock-Out League was born. It is believed this man is one of Chief Tadewi's Ancestors.
