Proof of the decomposition of an isogeny into a separable part and a frobenius.

Lemma:




Let $alpha:E_1longrightarrow E_2 $ be an inseparable isogeny of elliptic
curves defined over a field $k$ of characteristic $p>0$. Then $alpha$ can be
written in the form
$$alpha(x,y)=(r_1(x^p),r_2(x^p)y^p)$$
For $r_1,r_2in K[x]$.




Now here comes the proposition that I'd like to prove.




Let $alpha$ be an isogeny of elliptic curves over a field $k$ of characteristic $p > 0$. Then
$$alpha=alpha_{sep}circpi^n$$
For some $n>0$ and some separable isogeny $alpha_n$ where $pi$ is the p-power Frobenius morphism. We have then $deg(phi)=phi^n deg(alpha_{sep})$.




Proof:



If $alpha$ is separable, then take $n=0$ and $alpha_{sep}=alpha$. Otherwise, $alpha$ is inseparable, and by the lemma, $alpha=(r_1(x^p),r_2(x^p)y^p)=(r_1(x),r_2(x)y)circpi$. We take $alpha_1=(r_1(x),r_2(x)y)$. If $alpha_1$ is separable, we are done. If not, we can repeat the procedure, eventually at $n$ steps we will have
$$alpha=(r'_1(x),r'_2(x)y)circ pi^n$$
for some $r'_1$ and $r'_2$ in $K[x]$. So far, so good. They key of this proof is that this process ends with some $alpha''=(r''_1(x),r''_2(x))$ which will necessarily (why?) be a separable. It ends because each step reduces the degree of $alpha$ in a factor of $p$, and degree of $alpha$ is finite, but I can't see how this process is decreasing the degree of $alpha$ at each step by a factor of $p$.
