Chapter 537

Iris would probably be even more surprised.

Similarly, Ash was also shocked by Iris's ranking.

49th place in the Ultra Class.

"I didn't expect you to be so powerful, Iris, actually already 49th in the Ultra Class."

Who knew Iris nodded arrogantly and responded.

"That's for sure, but this ranking can't represent my strength, this is the ranking inherited from my previous tournament. This year I've been busy challenging Grandpa Alder, and haven't had time to grind my ranking, otherwise, I would have been in the Masters Eight long ago."

Regarding Ash's surprise.

Iris enjoyed it very much.

"So that's how it is."

"Then, are you ready to welcome your promotion challenge?"

Iris supported the railing on the high platform with one hand and then jumped down from it.

Surrounded by a bunch of Pokémon.

Iris stood in the player area of the Opelucid Gym battle venue.

Just at this time.

The referee Rotom, who served as the referee, also arrived one after another.

"This battle is between Trainer Iris and Trainer Ash, the competition rules are 2v2, until one side's Pokémon all lose their ability to battle, then the match ends, now please both trainers send out their Pokémon."

"So, Ash, have you thought about what kind of opponent you should use to battle me?"

Iris showed her own Champion momentum at this moment.

Even the elderly Alder was still a solid Champion when his partners were gone.

And Iris, who could defeat Alder head-on, was naturally not to be underestimated.

Facing Iris's challenge.

Ash stepped forward and also stood directly opposite Iris.

And after seeing Ash appear.

The Dragonite that had been standing behind Iris flapped its wings and landed directly in the center of the venue.

"Awoo!"

A roar combined with its fierce eyes, Dragonite's momentum swept the entire venue in an instant.

Feeling this impact.

Diantha frowned, such a powerful impact, Dragonite's strength is definitely Champion-level, no mistake.

Such a young Unova Champion.

It seems this year's Masters Eight Tournament is truly interesting.

"Is my apprentice not bad?" Drayden asked Diantha beside him with satisfaction.

【Alder: It's not easy, just wait another five years! Five years later I can retire, and Unova will welcome its new Champion. I can also go and keep my old partners company.】

【Professor Oak: Hey, why do you have to be like this? Volcarona and the others definitely wouldn't want to see you like this now.】

【Alder: Rest assured, this old man isn't that fragile, I'm just too tired.】

【Drayden: Rest assured, the future Unova will be guarded by us.】

【Iris: That's right, I will definitely not lose face for Master Drayden and Grandpa Alder!】

Unova, Humilau City.

Alder drank the wine in his cup in one gulp.

His heart had already been closed when his partners died.

If it weren't for not being able to let go of Unova.

He might have stepped down from the Champion position long ago.

"Truly envious of that kid Steven, abandoning the Champion position just like that."

Saying that, Alder couldn't help but shake his head.

The burden on him was too heavy.

Unova is not Kanto, nor is it Kalos.

All it has is the name of the Dragon Village.

In terms of strength, it is also in the middle to lower position among all the Leagues.

Once he exits the Champion seat at this moment.

Then Unova will have no say in the League Conference.

Before the birth of the second Champion of Unova.

The Unova Champion can only be him, Alder.

"Marshal, don't hide, come out and drink with the old man."

In the screen—

Dragonite's fierce eyes immediately brought Ash back to the days and nights he once had in Unova.

"Dragonite, long time no see!"

Facing Ash's enthusiastic greeting.

Dragonite's originally fierce eyes paused, first greeting Ash in a silly way, then became fierce again.

Outside, its name is Sang Biao!

"Ash, what kind of Pokémon are you going to use to battle my Dragonite?"

Iris looked at Ash with great interest.

She was looking forward to which Pokémon Ash would send out.

After all, when traveling in the Unova region, the only Pokémon Ash had that was relatively reliable was Krookodile.

But considering Ash's personality.

Ash wouldn't send out Krookodile to battle her Dragonite.

The most important thing is the attribute problem.

Therefore, Iris was so curious about Ash's Pokémon.

"Actually, I also captured a Dragonite during this time, but my Dragonite was just captured and its strength isn't enough, so I didn't bring it."

"What! How could you bear to leave such a cute Pokémon like Dragonite at home!"

Clearly.

Iris's focus was not here, what she cared about was not being able to see Ash's Dragonite here.

Facing Iris's question.

Ash was calm and composed.

He took a Poké Ball out of his pocket.

Then he tossed it gently before saying to Iris.

"So I chose to bring out another partner of mine, this partner is a Dragon-type Pokémon I captured when traveling in Kalos."

"What is it!"

"It, it's a great guy!"

Saying that, Ash tossed the Poké Ball in his hand into mid-air.

With a flash of red light.

A bat-type Dragon-type Pokémon composed of purple and black appeared in the venue.

It was Noivern.

It was a Pokémon Ash captured in the Kalos region.

It once had the glorious achievement of severely injuring Zapdos!

In terms of strength, it ranks among Ash's many Pokémon 0.....

Actually, Ash wanted to use Naganadel more, but Naganadel is in the Ultra World, and Ash couldn't contact the other party without Solgaleo.

However, it's not a big problem!

Ash believes his Noivern is enough to face Iris's Dragonite.

After Noivern appeared, it let out a shrill howl.

As a sound wave Pokémon.
