He knows Pokémon better than me.

"Then I'll leave it to you, Martial Arts Master Xiong!!"

Ash sent out Urshifu again. The two Pokémon were similar in size and neither gave an inch in terms of aura, staring intently at each other.

Both trainers knew how powerful the other's Pokémon was, but Urshifu and Haxorus did not.

"Axe Roar—!!"

Having just won a battle, the Double-Haxed Dragon was riding high on its momentum and immediately roared and made a move.

Taking into account the opponent's attributes.
"Use the blade of the spirit!"

Alice chooses to use superpowers.

The double-headed axe dragon pressed its head down, and several pinkish-purple energy slashes flew out from its two axe teeth in an instant, cutting through the air!

With the axe-like teeth on either side of its mouth, Haxorus can unleash almost any cutting attack.

Compared to his ferocious opponent, Martial Arts Master Xiong's aura was much more restrained and peaceful.

"Stop them!"

Following Xiao Zhi's command, the Martial Arts Bear Master's palms were enveloped in the flowing water as he moved closer, grabbed the Spirit Blade, and flipped it to the side.

call out!call out!call out!
The fierce slashes were immediately drawn to both sides by the martial arts bear master, preventing them from dealing effective damage.

Immediately, the two-handed haxorus charged forward, its axe-like teeth covered in a pinkish-purple light. This time, it was a melee attack—psychic blades!

Only after getting close to his opponent did he tilt his head and strike.

"See the truth!"

The martial arts master's eyes glowed blue as he shifted his body to the side, dodging the attack with the shortest possible distance.

Even as it turns around, it can kick out with one leg, aiming for the chest of the double-axe war dragon.

The double-axe dragon moved with equal speed, its body spinning half a circle, its steel whip tail sweeping out in the process.

Clang!

The powerful kick from the martial arts bear master was steadily blocked by the tail whip.

"Double-Hammer Dragon, use your dragon claws!"

"We'll use water to keep attacking!"

The eyes of the two Pokémon suddenly sharpened, and the former's claws were covered with blue light as it slashed out.

Martial Arts Master Xiong then enveloped his fist in water and quickly punched out two circles.

boom!boom!
Two consecutive water-flowing punches barely blocked the double-axe dragon's arm claws, making it seem like they were evenly matched.

However, the water flow strikes in a three-hit combo.

Bang!

This time, Martial Arts Bear Master's Water Stream Kick struck the Double Axe Dragon squarely in the chest, causing the latter to slide backward on the ground, leaving long black marks.

The effect was so-so, but...
Hit the vital point!

Double-Haxe Dragon clutched its chest, thinking to itself, "This brown bear is really strong."

"In that case, use the reverse scale!!"

So Alice immediately unleashed her ultimate move.

"Axe Roar—!!"

The double-axe war dragon roared with excitement, its entire body erupting with exaggerated light red flames. Its dragon aura was powerful and intense as it charged towards the direction of the martial arts bear master!

This level of attack is beyond the capabilities of either the See-Cut Technique or the Flowing Water Rock Smashing Fist.

Then run!
In the Reverse Scale state, he will fall into confusion after 2-3 rounds, and that's when he will attack.

His martial arts bear master, the Frozen Fist, is equally powerful!

"Use waterfall climbing to create distance!"

"Heroic shout!"

Martial Arts Master Xiong clenched his fist and shouted, his body covered in a watery cloak, and he sped off towards an uninhabited area to the side.

Behind them, the double-axe dragon, bathed in red light, chased after them.

The match quickly turned into a chase, with the two Pokémon circling the arena. Outrage pursued Waterfall, and the distance between them kept shrinking.

Until the third round of the third rebellious strike, with no way to avoid it, Martial Arts Master Xiong had no choice but to rely on his Water Flow Outer Garment to meet the attack head-on.

Clang!
The impact created a violent explosion, and dust swirled around it. The stalemate lasted only a short time before the water's outer layer was completely torn apart by the light red flames.

Martial Arts Master Xiong was naturally badly hit by the force, sliding back to the edge of the arena, his arms trembling.

Fortunately, at the crucial moment, he raised his arm to block it.

However, the Haxorus stood there dumbfounded, its steps faltering, and inexplicably, yellow stars began to swirl before its eyes.

It's in complete chaos!

Xiao Zhi naturally didn't miss this opportunity and quickly said:

"Now! Freeze Fist!!"

Martial Arts Master Xiong immediately stepped forward, enduring the discomfort in his arm, condensing frost, and preparing to punch the Double Axe Dragon's vital head.

However, Alice was prepared for the chaos that would ensue after the attack, and quickly said:
"Slam into the ground!"

The Haxorus slammed its head into the ground, and the intense pain on its skull instantly snapped it out of its chaotic state.

"That's quite a crude method."

Ash's lips twitched, somewhat helplessly. This almost self-destructive method also harmed the Pokémon itself.

Faced with a series of freezing punches, the Haxorus spun around in place, its tail tinged with a deep blue-green sheen, and then swept out fiercely!

Wide-area destruction!

With a loud bang, even the martial arts master Xiong was forced to retreat backward by the force of the impact.

Of course, the two-axe dragon was in a worse state, with some frost still clinging to its body.

"Wow, it's that strong..."

Alice was astonished. According to Mr. Alder, she and her partner Haxorus were now practically stepping into the ranks of regional champions.

However, he was evenly matched with the Pokémon in front of him and could not win for a long time.

Of course, Master Xiong of Martial Arts still has the upper hand.

"Dragon Claw!"

"The water flow bursts open!!"

Martial Arts Master Xiong drew a "water sword" from his waist and slashed at him.

Bang! Bang!

The water swords slashed repeatedly, colliding with the dragon claws and producing a piercing explosion. This advanced ball-level promotion match had reached its true climax.

"good."

Xiao Zhi was quite satisfied with this.

After all, the Martial Arts Bear Master hasn't been evolving for very long, and he's already able to arm wrestle with the regional champion's ace. He's truly gifted.

Although this champion is a bit weak, a champion is a champion, and can easily defeat ordinary trainers.

It is still remarkable progress.

However, as the two Pokémon retreated to the sides of the arena and distanced themselves, Iris couldn't help but smile.

Now is the time!

Then she raised her hand, her palm facing the back of the double-axe dragon, and a faint, majestic golden light emanated from her body.

In an instant, the man and the dragon gave people the feeling that they had "merged together".
When Alice opened her eyes again, it was clear that the Double-Haxe Dragon's overall physical attributes had improved dramatically, and it really did seem invincible.

This is her unique ability—not only can she communicate telepathically with Dragon-type Pokémon and understand their feelings and thoughts—

This ability can also boost the battle power of Dragon-type Pokémon!
At this moment, Xiaozhi raised his arm, palm facing the martial arts bear.

In an instant, the man and the bear seemed to have merged into one, creating an eerie sense of tacit understanding, and the martial arts bear master began to gain power.
The power of bonds!

Alice: "?"

Ash grinned. "Cheat? Then let's all use cheats together!" (End of Chapter)
