Chapter 1057: Berserk Outrage, Haxorus!
2024-05-15 Author: Samsung Charmander (Author Name)
"ROAR!!!"
Just then, a furious Dragon Roar from nearby caught Ash's attention.
The sound carried intense aggression, slicing through the air like sharp blades of wind, incredibly piercing.
"I've found a big one!"
A guess formed in Ash's mind. His eyes instantly lit up, and he hurried toward the source of the sound.
This place was already quite far from where he had parted ways with Yuki and Sidney. Those two shouldn't be able to snatch this one from him.
When Ash arrived at his destination, he found himself in a wide-open, rocky area.
Before a protruding stone pillar stood an upright, dark-gold dragon beast.
Unlike typical Dragon-type Pokémon, it had no wings. Its slender body stood tall, supported by a strong tail and powerful lower limbs.
Its entire body was covered in dark-gold dragon scales, while its abdomen was a dark gray.
Its head was like segmented armor, and from both sides of its mouth extended massive axe blades with menacing red edges. A mere casual shake of its head was enough to produce a chilling, cutting sound.
"Hiss, so imposing!" Ash couldn't help but blurt out.
This dark-gold Haxorus before him was undoubtedly the most domineering dragon beast he had ever seen. Even the Salamence belonging to Drake (Elite Four), in terms of appearance alone, fell slightly short.
He quickly pulled out his Pokédex to check it.
"Dee-dee-dee. Haxorus, a Pokémon from the Unova Region. Dragon-type. It has a gentle nature, but when faced with intruders, it will use its axe-like tusks, which can cut through steel like mud, to completely shred its opponents. Among all Dragon-type Pokémon, it possesses the highest Attack stat."
The sound of the Pokédex invigorated Ash.
"A Pokémon from the Unova Region!"
It seemed it wasn't classified as a pseudo-legendary, yet it held the rank for the strongest Attack.
"Pikachu, get ready for battle!" Ash declared immediately.
Seeing Latias in her transformed state, Ash subconsciously assumed she was a human who could only watch from the sidelines.
"Pika...!"
Pikachu, however, looked rather hesitantly at the ferocious Haxorus before it. The creature's massive form was about two meters tall.
Against a guy with such a formidable appearance and considerable strength, Pikachu was usually just a spectator.
Today was not a good day for battle...
"ROAR!!"
Just then, the wild Haxorus noticed the sudden arrival of Ash and his group.
It had been sharpening its tusks on the rocks, not expecting humans to suddenly barge in... and their aura was completely different from the people of Meteor Village.
After all, having lived together in this "enclosed" world for so long, the Dragon-type Pokémon here had some ability to sense the local residents.
The latter also coexisted harmoniously with them, often even feeding them high-grade Dragon-type food.
But Ash was clearly an outsider, an "invader" in the eyes of the Haxorus.
"ROAR!!"
Instantly, the pupils in this wild Haxorus's eyes constricted, turning so blood-red they looked as if they were about to drip blood.
Its entire body erupted with a fiery red energy aura that resembled flames, but its imposing might was several times more intense!
Rumble...!!
The next moment, the Haxorus charged forward madly, carrying an incredibly boundless imposing might that seemed to suppress the very air around it.
Its massive, rampaging form looked capable of breaking through anything!
Outrage!!
Ash: "?!"
He hadn't expected it to open with its ultimate move right off the bat.
Furthermore, it was a Dragon-type ultimate move, which made Latias, who had considered lending a hand, immediately shrink back.
"Pika... chu-pi!!"
Caught off guard, Pikachu could only hastily launch a Steel Tail, intending to forcibly block this strike.
The Steel Tail whipped around horizontally, lashing out viciously!
The two moves collided violently, but at this moment, the Haxorus's momentum was at its peak. Enveloped in the fiery red dragon breath aura, its physical strength was terrifyingly immense.
Clang-Bang!!
Pikachu was immediately sent flying like a small sandbag, hurtling back toward Ash.
"Hiss, so strong...!?"
Ash couldn't help but exclaim.
Wait a minute, are all the wild Pokémon in Meteor Village at this level?!
"ROAR!!"
However, the Haxorus had completely lost its reason. It thrashed its large head about, roaring and bellowing nonstop, trampling the rocky ground around it into countless fragments of rock.
This appearance didn't match the "gentle" description from the Pokédex in the slightest.
Rumble...!!
Then, a golden-white dragon breath aura flared up once more, and the Haxorus charged forward in a frenzy again!!
Outrage is a consecutive move that forces the user to keep attacking without pause.
Pikachu was still flying backward!
"Vu~!"
Seeing this, Latias instantly reverted to her original form. One claw steadily caught the airborne Pikachu, while the other grabbed Ash by the back of his collar.
BOOM-WHOOSH...!!
The violent blast of an airplane engine erupted.
The air beneath Latias was blasted away and vibrated as she, carrying one person and one mouse, shot into mid-air in an instant, narrowly dodging the attack.
"ROAR!!"
Its move having missed, the wingless Haxorus could only roar helplessly at the sky from the ground.
As the mandatory two turns of Outrage ended, it fell into a state of complete confusion.
The next moment, Haxorus began to shake its head, its layered scales making a powerful, grating sound.
Swish!! Swish!! Swish!!
A series of scythe-like energy blades flew from the sharp twin axes on either side of its mouth, slicing through the air.
"It has ranged moves too?!"
Ash, dangling in mid-air, flailed in a panic.
However, its state of confusion had also completely ruined the Haxorus's aim, and most of the blades shot into the empty air.
WHOOM!!
Latias easily dodged the remaining attacks, carrying one person and one mouse as she flew far into the distance.
After flying for nearly ten minutes, Latias finally landed gently.
"Vu..."
She transformed back into her human maid form, letting out a breath of relief.
"Hiss, I felt like my head was about to be cut off..."
Even Ash couldn't help but feel his scalp tingle.
That wild Haxorus definitely had the combat power of an Elite Four member.
It had probably lived in Meteor Village for a long time, making it an old dragon.
Especially its tendency to fly into a berserk Outrage at the slightest provocation... it was difficult to deal with.
"Pika."
Pikachu also took credit after the fact, indicating it had performed a great service.
If it hadn't blocked the first Outrage, the three of them would have been completely obliterated by now.
However, Ash had naturally set his sights on such a powerful dragon beast.
After all, the Elderly Grandmother had said that any Pokémon here that was wild could be captured.
"I need to think of a plan..."
This time, Ash didn't dare to be a reckless greenhorn and jump right in its face. He planned to choose a suitable strategy.
But as he turned around with Pikachu and Latias, intending to head back the way they came...
"Huh? What's this?"
Ash suddenly noticed that at the spot where they had landed, there stood a huge, brownish-yellow rock statue.
"It looks a little familiar..."
Ash raised an eyebrow and couldn't help but move closer to the sculpture.
