He knows Pokémon better than me.

Waterfall strikes continuously, each punch a critical hit!
Even though Dragonite has excellent resistance to Water-type moves, it couldn't withstand three consecutive critical hits.

It clutched its chest and staggered backward, its angry eyes trembling, still trying to hold on.

"Awoo."

But in the end, Dragonite's eyes rolled back and it let out a low growl.

His body went limp and he fell forward, completely losing consciousness.

The Rotom drone immediately landed and delivered its verdict:
"Dragonite is unable to battle!!"

Alice's face fell. Even her Dragonite had lost?
"So this is the legendary Martial Arts Bear Master. He's really amazing."

Outside the arena, Du Ruo couldn't help but sigh, her eyes filled with amazement.

As students of Blueberry Academy, we learn that the artificial islands there don't just contain Pokémon from the Unova region, but encompass all regions.

The messages received also came from all over the world, from people who had heard of the great name of Martial Arts Master Xiong.

"."

Shaka raised an eyebrow. This Fruit Academy wasn't entirely useless; at least he had learned a lot.

,

Just as Iris recalled Dragonite, Ash also raised his Poké Ball:
"Come back for now, Martial Arts Master Xiong!"

He knew very well that this was Iris's last Pokémon, and he was getting impatient.

boom!boom!
The two then simultaneously threw out Poké Balls, and what appeared in front of Alice was naturally her ace, Haxorus!

His entire body was dark gold, and his tall, thin body looked as if it were covered in armor. The blood-red axe teeth on both sides of his face were particularly eye-catching!
Has it evolved?

The last time I saw it was during the second phase of the Axew.

This didn't surprise Xiaozhi.

Actually, although Iris's two Pokémon are very strong, they are still some distance from being "Regional Champions".

That means it's Haxorusaur, and the Pokémon that made her the Unova Champion must be much stronger than the previous two.

Even before the battle began, several meters away, he could already feel the fierce and domineering power of this double-axe dragon!

As for his third Pokémon
Compared to the ferocious and menacing Haxorus, the style here is completely different.

"Gills~!!"

The gill ichthyosaur half-closed its eyes, revealing a憨厚 (honest and simple) smile, as if it were harmless.

"Ah, so cute!! Is this also a Dragon-type Pokémon?!"

Sensing the dragon aura emanating from the ichthyosaur, Alice's eyes immediately lit up with hearts—

She's obsessed with all Dragon-type Pokémon.

Of course, this was the first time she had ever seen a gill ichthyosaur, and Xia Ka, along with Du Ruo and his grandson, were also completely bewildered.

After all, even in the Galar region, not many people know about the ichthyosaur.

"Strike first! Ichthyosaur, use Tidal Whirl!"

This time, the Dracovish was clearly inferior to its opponent, and Ash's expression became unusually serious as he launched the first attack.

The ichthyosaur immediately raised its head, creating a huge vortex tornado in the air, which it then hurled towards its target.

Alice gave a light snort and met the question head-on:
"Hmph, use wide-area destruction!"

The Haxorus's tail glowed with a deep blue light as it swung its body in a sweeping motion.

Poof!

The massive vortex tornado was instantly ripped apart by the dragon's tail, a result of an overwhelming power difference.

Of course, Ash's goal wasn't to confront them head-on, so he immediately gave the order:
"Now's the time, freeze the wind!"

The ichthyosaur opened its jaws, and icy mist blew out, which, together with the water droplets left on the arena by the swirling tide, instantly turned half of the arena into an ice rink.

The Haxorus, positioned at the center, shuddered, ice shards appearing on its body. "Axe Roar—!"

However, the Double-Axe Dragon roared to the sky and shook its body violently, easily shaking off the ice shards on its body.

The level difference is too great; the freezing wind can't even slow things down.

Alice pointed forward and launched an attack:

"And then there's the dragon claw!!"

The Twin-Axe Dragon roared and charged out, its claws gathering azure light to form enormous dragon claws. Each stomp of its feet produced a rapid rhythm, causing the ground to tremble violently and sending dust and debris flying everywhere—an unstoppable force!

"Aim at the ground, use Ice Fang!"

The ichthyosaur understood, frost gathered between its teeth, and it bit down on the ground.

In the blink of an eye, a slanted ice pillar more than two meters high was forcibly condensed and rose in front of him, but under the ferocious attack of the Twin Axe Dragon, it had almost no defensive effect.

With a single slash of its dragon claw, the ice pillar shattered like glass.

However, behind the icicles, the ichthyosaur had already aimed its jaws at the front, with thick frost filling its mouthparts, forming sharp, icy blue teeth that looked like energy.

"Gills—!!"

Without any hesitation, the gill ichthyosaur took a bite!
Strong Forehead - Frozen Fang!
Its sharp teeth snapped shut, instantly piercing the armor and embedding themselves into the flesh of the Haxorus's arm!
Then a chill crept up, making the latter feel extreme cold on one side of his body, and he let out a muffled groan.

The effect is outstanding!

However, the Haxorus only had one arm bitten, while the other arm remained in its claw form, and it swung it down at the monster in front of it!

Whoosh! Bang!
The force was so great that it instantly cleaved the gill dammer, causing it to open its jaws and fly out of the air, rolling around on the ground in a sorry state, almost falling off the edge of the arena.

The effect is outstanding!

"Such ruthless power!"

Similarly, Ash also felt the overwhelming force of the dragon claw and couldn't help but sigh.

With just one strike, the Gillfish Dragon struggled to get up, its eyes half-closed and its breathing disordered.

It's reached the point of being like a candle flickering in the wind.

This single attack is enough to prove that the girl and the dragon before us possess combat power surpassing that of the League's Elite Four champions!
"Gills!"

The ichthyosaur raised its head, opened its jaws, and prepared to launch a fierce counterattack.

However, Alice suddenly shouted:
"Now! Use Dragon Pulse!"

The two-handed axe dragon also opened its mouth wide, and a pinkish-purple energy pulse transformed into an energy dragon in the air, which sped away.

The ichthyosaur instinctively used its Frozen Fangs to react, and bit down.

Boom!
Instantly, the Dragon Pulse exploded in front of its mouth, and the Dragon-attribute energy impact was almost at zero distance, flipping the Gillfish Dragon over again.

The effect is outstanding!

This time, the ichthyosaur couldn't hold on any longer and collapsed to the ground, its eyes darting around.

"Gillfish Dragon, incapacitated!"

"Drone Rotom quickly said loudly."

Ash raised an eyebrow. Despite being a physical attacker, he had actually prepared a ranged attack.

Although its power is average, it is more than enough to finish off enemies with low health by surprise.

"Ash, you only have one left!"

Alice's eyes were bright and her spirits were high. She was ready to take down Ash completely today!

"Axe Roar—!!"

In front of him, the Double Axe Dragon roared to the sky, its roar echoing throughout the Double Dragon Arena!
The combined aura of the man and the dragon before them was terrifyingly powerful.
This is the current Unova champion team! (End of Chapter)
