Dwight's Haxorus

**Dwight's Haxorus** (Japanese: **ドワイトのオノノクス** *Dowaito's Ononokus*) is Dwight's main and partner Pokémon, as well as the first Pokémon he was known to have.

## **New Era**

### **Johto Journey**

Haxorus first appeared when she was chosen as Dwight's first Pokémon to battle against Dwayne's Scizor. Dwight starts the battle by ordering Dragon Pulse while Scizor counters with Hyper Beam, and both attacks cancel each other out. Haxorus then follows up with Dual Chop, and although Scizor was unable to move due to Hyper Beam's after-effects, Scizor easily withstands the attacks. Dwayne then commands Scizor to use Double Hit, but Haxorus counters with Strength. Haxorus then follows up with Dragon Rage, and Scizor gets sent crashing onto the floor, but quickly gets back up with little to no damage.

Dwight then orders Haxorus to use Dragon Pulse again, but Scizor flies up to dodge the attacks and follows up with X-Scissor, which Haxorus takes head-on, and suffers great damage. However, Haxorus then uses Strength, and the attack causes great damage onto Scizor, and Dwayne seems confused about the sudden boost of power, and Dwight smugly explains that Haxorus's Ability was Rivalry, which meant that since both Haxorus and Scizor were of the same gender, Haxorus's attack power was increased by 25%. Scizor struggles to get back up, and Dwight mocks Scizor by calling her a weakling, and this triggers Scizor's rage, and Jade curses Dwight for his insults, and calls him a pathetic excuse for a Trainer, and Jade urges Scizor to keep battling.

Dwayne then thanks Scizor for continue to battle, and tells her to use X-Scissor, but Dwight quickly orders Haxorus to use Dual Chop, and despite her best efforts, Scizor is unable to dodge and gets hit with the attack, and gets sent crashing back onto the floor. Dwight and Haxorus laugh at their dominance, and Haxorus goes for the finishing blow with Strength, and Dwayne simply forfeits the round, and Haxorus stops dead on her tracks, and Dwayne rushes over to Scizor and asks if she was okay, and Scizor seems rather upset about Dwayne calling off the match, but Dwayne tells Scizor that he cared about her well-being, and they would have other battles, and promises to let Scizor have a full-on battle next time, but begs her to let him take care of her health.

Scizor blushes but accepts, and touches her head against Dwayne's as he recalls Scizor back to her Poké Ball. Haxorus then goes up against Dwayne's Gardevoir for the second round as Dwight commands Haxorus to use Strength, but Gardevoir retaliates with a point-blank Moonblast, which knocks Haxorus out of battle.

Later, when Dwayne and Jade are about to be hit by falling rocks caused by Fabius's Onix's usage of Rock Throw, Dwight and Haxorus destroy the falling rocks with a Dragon Pulse, who says that he was there to save them, and mostly protect Felicia. Dwight orders Haxorus to use Dragon Pulse, but it barely leaves a mark on Onix. Fabius orders Onix to retaliate with Slam, which Haxorus and Dwight narrowly avoid. Onix lashes at the trio with another Slam and follows up with a Rock Throw. Meanwhile, Raikou has collapsed from Miracle Crystal’s rebounded electric attacks. Harlynn then activates the capture bubble. The wall of purple energy slowly swells and causes extreme pain to Raikou as soon as it is trapped inside. Dwayne's Roselia blasts the bubble with a Power Whip, which concerns Fabius, who explains that the system is only designed to absorb electricity—it doesn't know how to handle any other form of energy. As Roselia begins to push the bubble back, Jade's Kangaskhan and Dwight's Haxorus join in with Power-Up Punch and Strength, respectively. Onix tries to use Dragon Breath to knock everyone out of the way, but the capture bubble explodes. Harlynn quickly grabs Raikou with her mecha’s claws and puts it into the cargo hold. The duo quickly fly off, but with Jade and Kangaskhan trapped inside with Raikou.

Raikou tries to blow its way out, but the walls are non-conductive. It then tries tackling the walls, but they are too strong for that to work either. Jade tries to calm Raikou down and promises to find a way out. During its rampage, Raikou scrapes away a piece of the floor. Jade sees some wires and yanks them apart, which makes the door open. They are too high up for Jade to be able to safely escape, but since Raikou can make the jump, she encourages it to free itself. Fabius activates the emergency override, but Raikou escapes before the door closes. The engines of the aircraft begin to fail as well, causing it to lose altitude. As the couple prepare to get Raikou back, it watches as they move away with Jade still trapped. Dwight panics while Dwayne tries to think of a new plan. Eusine tells him that the first rule of any rescue operation is to remain calm and urges him to remain calm like Dwayne. Dwayne decides to try contacting Jade using his Pokégear. They call her and have a brief but frantic exchange of words before Harlynn crushes Jade's Pokégear in her hand. Eusine suggests that they use the call log data to locate Jade.

Fabius and Harlynn land their aircraft once again and reactivate the Miracle Crystal in a bid to lure Raikou. Having seen the dark clouds reappear, Eusine, Dwayne, and Dwight drive cross-country towards the crystal. When they arrive, Dwight demands to see Jade, who is tied up but otherwise okay. Dwayne tells them to let Jade and Raikou go, but Eusine realizes that since Fabius and Harlynn has activated the crystal, they must not have Raikou. Suddenly, a huge bolt of lightning hits the crystal, and it seems that Raikou is planning to attack from outside of the crystal's range. Raikou is stronger than ever, but the group is right in the line of fire.

As electricity reflects off of the crystal and fires everywhere, Jade falls from the cliff she was on, but is rescued by Roselia. Harlynn releases Magnezone to attack Roselia with Tri Attack, which causes it to drop Jade. Both Dwayne and Dwight run to catch her, but Dwight trips and lands on his face, with Jade landing on top of him. Dwayne ensures that Jade is okay, but Dwight interrupts their private moment to remind them that he is the one that Jade fell on. Fabius then cuts in by ordering Onix to use Slam. Just as Eusine is about to send in his own Pokemon to save them, Raikou leaps in and attacks Onix head-on. Raikou then attacks Harlynn's mecha, tearing the control panel apart. Harlynn jumps out of the way and she has Magnezone swoop down with an Electro Ball. Raikou chews through a final wire before running away as the control panel explodes, blasting Magnezone back. The purple glow around the Miracle Crystal disappears.

The group wonders why Raikou risked battling face-to-face when it had initially been attacking from above. Dwayne realizes that Raikou does not just protect Electric-type Pokémon; it protects its friends, and considers the group to be so. Although they cannot control the crystal anymore, Fabius and Harlynn are still around. The reason for this appears when Raikou attacks them—the electricity is still drawn to the crystal, which sends a powerful blast back. Fabius explains that if the control panel is destroyed, the crystal will run on "auto-destruct," which means that its power is now twice as focused. The crystal hones in on Raikou, and then turns black. Its electric hooks sink into Raikou and pull it inwards. Fabius explains that it is impossible for Raikou to escape now. Fabius taunts that their legend will last forever as they have brains and science on their side, but Dwayne, Dwight, and Felicia will not let that happen. They send out Roselia, Kangaskhan, and Haxorus. Roselia uses Solar Beam, but the field now surrounding Raikou stops it. Dwayne suggests using combined forces again. Eusine interjects and he warns that if the field explodes with Raikou trapped inside, then the blast would be so powerful that it would destroy even Raikou.

With Raikou drained of its electricity, Eusine says that their only hope is the "all or nothing" plan. They would have to break the field open, grab Raikou, and then get out before the explosion, but whoever goes in might never come out. After a moment of deep consideration, Roselia volunteers herself. As Roselia runs forward, so do Kangaskhan and Haxorus. Magnezone and Onix attack, but Eusine sends out Alakazam to provide enough of a distraction to let the other Pokémon pass through. Roselia uses Power Whip on the field, while Haxorus uses Dual Chop. Fabius then sends his Muk into the battle to use Sludge Bomb. Kangaskhan counters with Rock Slide, but is hit by Magnezone's Gyro Ball. Magnezone then flies up to avoid Alakazam's Psybeam. While this is going on, Haxorus and Roselia begin to drain energy from the crystal's force field. Raikou wakes up, allowing it to flee on its own if they are successful, giving the other Pokémon enough time to get away.

Fabius orders Onix to use Dragon Breath on the Trainers, but Dwayne tells the Pokémon to concentrate on saving Raikou. As Muk bombards Kangaskhan with Sludge Bomb and Magnezone jabs Roselia with Gyro Ball, Onix goes after Dwayne, who has run to the edge of a cliff. Dwayne provokes Onix by saying that it couldn't crack a potato chip and is rescued from the attack by Alakazam, leaving Onix to fall into the river below. With Kangaskhan and Alakazam now keeping Magnezone and Muk in check with their attacks, Roselia and Haxorus have nearly broken the field, but they still don't have enough power. Suddenly, Roselia has an idea and yells out while looking at Dwayne, who questions what Roselia wanted. Roselia looks at his bag, Dwayne immediately realizes her intentions. He retrieves the Shiny Stone from his bag and throws it to Roselia, who upon contact with it, evolves into Roserade, allowing her to gain a power boost against the field. Onix suddenly bursts from the ground and prepares to attack Roserade and Haxorus, but Dwayne, Jade, and Dwight stand to defend their Pokémon. Eusine tells them to get out of the way, but Raikou breaks the field with a powerful electric attack that knocks Onix back. As the crystal cracks, Fabius and Harlynn realize that the ultimate system has met the ultimate Pokémon. They then run away, leaving becoming legends for another day.

## **Personality and Characteristics**

Much like her Trainer, Haxorus can present herself as a very unpleasant and rude Pokémon, laughing at Dwayne's Scizor for not being able to stand up against her, and when hearing Dwight insulting the the Pincer Pokémon, Haxorus simply nodded in agreement.

Nevertheless, Haxorus, much like Dwight, is generally a good-natured Pokémon at heart, going to great lengths to help Dwayne and Jade defend Raikou from Fabius and Harlynn, and displayed tremendous acts of altruism, rushing over to assist Dwayne's Roselia and Jade's Kangaskhan in stopping the energy field surrounding Raikou, even when aware that it could cost her life, and she did so without her Trainer's commands.
