Chapter 545

Haxorus swung its teeth, which were like ordinary axe blades, and unleashed a pale blue shockwave!

Although Haxorus is not a pseudo-legendary, its potential is in no way inferior to the Unova region's pseudo-legendary, Hydreigon!

Out of its 540 base stat total, a staggering 147 is in Attack!

It is a Dragon-type Pokémon that pushes Attack to the absolute limit!

Coupled with the fact that Iris's Haxorus is her ace as Champion.

Even a non-STAB Psycho Cut is not something one can take head-on!

"Mega Charizard X, use Dragon Claw to block it!"

However, Ash did the exact opposite!

This!

Is confidence!

Confidence that his Mega Charizard X is not weaker than Haxorus!

Emerald green Dragon-type energy spread across Mega Charizard X's claws!

Facing the Psycho Cut, Mega Charizard X raised its hand and caught it!

And right before everyone's eyes, that Psycho Cut was crushed into powder by the Dragon Claw!

"That's it, keep the momentum going! Use Dragon Claw!"

Ash punched the air excitedly!

Mega Charizard X's performance made his blood boil!

Mega Charizard X, have you also felt the opponent's strength! Let's defeat Iris's Haxorus together!

The second effect of Mega Evolution is that it allows the Trainer and Pokémon to share a single mind!

The feelings of both sides can be conveyed to each other!

Passion plus passion!

That is not one plus one equals two!

The pale blue flames are boiling!

Mega Charizard X is like a general charging into battle!

Even if the enemy has a thousand troops and ten thousand horses, I can still take the enemy general's head!

"Ash! I haven't been this excited in a long time!"

Iris was not afraid in the slightest!

Long-term battles have made her understand one thing!

Cowardice is the most useless thing!

Only by attacking can one achieve victory!

"Breaking Swipe! Throw it back!"

No sooner had the words fallen.

Red light flashed in Haxorus's eyes!

Its thick tail was covered in a thick layer of energy.

Aiming at Mega Charizard X's position, it turned around and whipped its tail fiercely!

Dragon Claw met the Breaking Swipe's Dragon Tail!

A metallic clashing sound echoed throughout the Opelucid Gym!

Countless light particles scattered and splashed!

But just then, the situation on the field started to go wrong.

Breaking Swipe also has the effect of lowering the opponent's Attack stat.

In this evenly matched situation, it was particularly significant.

Even the slightest difference could sway the battle!

At this stage, it was exactly that!

Mega Charizard X, whose Attack had been reduced, was struck by Haxorus!

Seeing the situation was unfavorable, Mega Charizard X directly used the force of the Breaking Swipe to adjust its posture.

Only.

"Good opportunity! Outrage!"

Keen battlefield awareness allowed Iris to seize the opportunity!

She decisively had Haxorus use Outrage, a major Dragon-type move!

It can be seen that Iris knows what it means to strike while the iron is hot!

On the field.

Haxorus's entire body was shining with a red aura.

Immediately, it catapulted toward Mega Charizard X, who was still adjusting its posture in front!

In such a situation, Mega Charizard X was completely unable to counterattack!

It could only try its best to flap its wings, wanting to fly up!

But!

Haxorus's speed was faster!

Just as Mega Charizard X made a move!

Haxorus's hands had already latched onto Mega Charizard X's tail!

With a hard yank, it pulled Mega Charizard X's body down from the air!

Following that was a heavy punch smashed fiercely into Mega Charizard X's abdomen!

"Boom—"

With a muffled thud, Haxorus took the lead in the first round of exchanges.

"Champion Diantha, Iris's strength is not bad, right."

Drayden looked at Diantha with some pride.

"Very impressive, such strength is already worthy of the title of Master Eight."

Even Diantha highly recognized Iris's strength!

It's just that there was one thing Diantha didn't say.

Without a battle system, Iris's methods were still too thin.

It is very easy to be countered, whether facing her or Cynthia.

They both have the certainty of victory.

Very strong, but not strong enough.

But for a newly appointed Champion, Iris's strength is commendable.

【Marshal: Not bad, little junior sister. To possess such power at such a young age, the future of Unova depends on you!】

【Flint: Huh? That old man Alder wants to take Iris as a disciple? This doesn't look like his style!】

【Alder: What do you know! This is our Unova's precious gem; if I don't guide her personally, should I let her grow recklessly?】

【Volkner: Ah, yes, yes, yes! Please don't take Flint's words to heart; he is purely brainless.】

【Flint: How am I brainless!】

【Volkner: Stop barking! Do you want to cause an international dispute between Unova and Sinnoh!】

Son! Dad is protecting you!

You are a Sinnoh Elite Four!

Your words represent Sinnoh's attitude!

Provoking the current Unova Champion, have you lost your mind!

【Cynthia: Mr. Alder, I apologize to you on behalf of Flint. Rest assured, I will personally bind him in front of you!】

【Lucian: Oh ho, Flint, you're done for. The big sister will kill you!】

【Flint:...】

Is it too late for me to apologize now?

In the screen—

"Mega Charizard X, are you okay!"
