Dragon Battle! Ash VS Iris!! (1154)
- Thread starter Serebii
- Start date
What did annoy me a bit that we didn‘t even see Excadrill. it was Iris Ace and should‘ve get some spotlight. I do hope we might get a rematch 3vs3 at least maybe in the Top 8 considering Iris is a League Champ now.
The writing for Iris continues to be so inconsistent. Seeing her getting a beating from Ash‘s barely developed Pokes and her still apparently being a Champ. Would‘ve preffered if she was a Gym leader.

So here is the thing. Without sound like a deranged fan I think it was Dragonite who sunk the ship. Iris could very well be an excellent trainer and probably could defeat Ash (she did it with Excadrill) but for some reason something keeps possessing her to use Dragonite despite his terrible losing streak. Couple that with Ash’s Dragonite’s out of nowhere tankness from taking all those Dragon type moves and that’s why he won. She also seemed less interested in taking the battle seriously towards the latter end and was just enjoying what was going on.

Y’know, just because the attacks cancelled each other out doesn’t mean that they didn’t do any damage. Ash’s Dragonite and Iris’ Dragonite both took damage from that clash, even if it wasn’t as much. And Hurricane may not have pushed Dragonite back, but it clearly did tons of chip damage to Dragonite. Didn’t you see the way the wind was pelting him?

It doesn't cancel each other, but I just rewatch that part and it seems the Dragon Claw did not hit as Angrynite manage to hold Happynite with the Thunder Punch. The Hurricane is clearly shown hurting Angrynite. Dragon Dive and Dragon Claw did cancel each otther.
You might not noticed it, but what Ash said to Dracovish is Eragami (Fishious Rend). So Dracovish landed 2 moves against Angrynite, Fishious Rend followed by Ice Fang.

He obviously just thought it'd be funnier if Iris lost to some guy she thought wasn't even a regional champ

So does this battle technically make Ash the Unova champion now?

He has returned.
She did seem that way the more i watch her actions.
Also I honestly think she helped Ash's Dragonite learn Draco Meteor to an extent (which is an interesting nod to the unova games) due to the "mental" chat she had with it.
people are welcome to disagree, but I really got that feeling out of this.
I wish I knew, I personally think that should be her ace pokemon but we just had to have a dragon fight here.
no it does not.

A lot of us seems to not noticing that Dracovish landed Fishious Rend perfectly. Only focusing on Ice Fang, therefore thinking it is just in one hit.

I think there needs to be a official referee of the Unova league present, but that's just a guess of how it works.

It appeared in a flashback showing Iris's battle with Drayden from BW. Iris could've probably won with Excadrill, but she wanted the match to be a mono Dragon type battle since she's trying to become a Dragon master
