'''Iris's Haxorus''' (Japanese: '''アイリスのオノノクス ''' ''Iris's Ononokus'') was one of the two {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} acquired by {{an|Iris}} prior to the start of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'', and her second one overall. It is also [[Iris]]'s main Pokémon in the {{pkmn|games}} and {{pkmn|manga}}.

==In the anime==
===Main series===
====History====
=====Pre-series=====
[[File:Iris Axew debut.png|250px|thumb|left|Axew upon meeting Iris for the first time]]
Haxorus, as an Axew, was the first Pokémon that Iris was known to have obtained. She obtained Axew from the {{OBP|elder|Village of Dragons}} of her [[Village of Dragons|hometown]] when he was just a few days old. She was given the task of journeying with Axew in order to help raise him into a great Haxorus. Before he evolved, he preferred being outside of his {{i|Poké Ball}}, traveling inside Iris's long hair.

=====''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]''=====
[[File:Iris Axew.png|thumb|250px|As an Axew]]
Axew first appeared briefly in ''[[BW001|In the Shadow of Zekrom!]]'' alongside Iris, where it watched the dark clouds caused by {{OBP|Zekrom|recurring}} from the top of a tree. Axew was the first Pokémon that {{Ash}} scanned with his new [[Pokédex]] in ''[[BW002|Enter Iris and Axew!]]'', though he was actually aiming it at Iris's hair and wondering why Axew looked nothing like what the Pokédex showed. Later, Axew and Pikachu got caught by {{TRT}}, but they were later freed with the help of {{AP|Oshawott}}.

In ''[[BW005|Triple Leaders, Team Threats!]]'', {{an|Cilan}} told Iris and Axew that they have perfect compatibility. He also added that Axew is a rather rare Pokémon. In ''[[BW006|Dreams by the Yard Full!]]'' it was revealed through the [[Dream Mist]] that Axew wants to [[evolution|evolve]] to his {{p|Haxorus|final stage}}, unlike most of the other [[walking Pokémon]] in the anime.

In ''[[BW009|The Bloom Is on Axew!]]'', it was shown that Axew has not had much experience in battling, crying when he was hit by weakened {{m|Bullet Seed}} and {{m|Solar Beam}} attacks from [[Cilan's Pansage]]; however, he was shown to be able to produce an extremely powerful {{m|Dragon Rage}} that could cause massive destruction, but was uncontrollable and had a tendency to explode in all directions rather than beam at a specific target as it is meant to. Both Ash and Cilan playfully referred to it as a "Dragon Sneeze", much to Iris's annoyance. A pun exists where, as Axew says his name while using "Dragon Sneeze", it sounds rather like "achoo". Later in the episode, Axew was trapped in the horns of a wild {{p|Scolipede}}, and Iris and the others had to rescue him using their Pokémon.

In ''[[BW017|Scraggy-Hatched to be Wild!]]'', Axew seemed excited about Ash's [[Pokémon Egg]] being ready to hatch; so much so that he accidentally sent it rolling down a hill. After it hatched into {{AP|Scraggy}}, Axew became afraid of him after seeing how aggressive he was with the other Pokémon. Even so, he kept his eye on Scraggy and was the first to notice that he ran off in the middle of the night. Axew assisted Iris in finding a plant that would help Scraggy recover after he was {{status|Paralysis|paralyzed}} by a wild {{p|Galvantula}}. The next day when Scraggy felt better, Axew battled him. Both Pokémon ended up knocking each other out thanks to another failed Dragon Rage. The two had another battle in ''[[BW020|Dancing With the Ducklett Trio!]]'', however he was stopped after Axew attempted, again, to use Dragon Rage.

In ''[[BW027|The Dragon Master's Path!]]'', he sent Team Rocket's ship down with an exploding Dragon Rage. He then rode away on Druddigon's head and called out to Iris, letting her know where he was. When fighting Team Rocket alongside Pikachu and [[Emmy]]'s {{p|Druddigon}}, Axew finally mastered Dragon Rage, sending out a stream of energy instead of exploding right on the spot, defeating Team Rocket.

In ''[[BW029|Cottonee in Love!]]'', Axew had another battle with [[Ash's Scraggy]], but this time he won thanks to his mastered Dragon Rage.

In ''[[BW033|Iris and Excadrill Against the Dragon Buster!]]'', Axew battled [[Georgia]]'s {{TP|Georgia|Beartic}} briefly, but was defeated after a collision of {{m|Ice Beam}} and Dragon Rage.

In ''[[BW038|Movie Time! Zorua in "The Legend of the Pokémon Knight!"]]'', Axew played the role of the {{an|Iris|Dragon Master}}'s strongest Pokémon. She used Axew against [[Ash's Pikachu]] in order to bring out his inner strength. However, Pikachu defeated Axew with a powerful {{m|Thunderbolt}}/{{m|Electro Ball}} combination.

Iris used Axew in the semifinal round of the [[Club Battle]] in ''[[BW042|Club Battle Finale: A Hero's Outcome!]]'' against [[Luke]] and his {{p|Golett}}. Not knowing about Golett's immunity to {{type|Normal}} attacks, Iris ordered Axew to use Scratch which was ineffective. Axew then got hit hard by Golett's {{m|Mega Punch}}. Managing to get up Axew used Dragon Rage, but this attack was dodged by {{m|Double Team}}. While still using Double Team, Golett used {{m|Gyro Ball}}, confusing Axew and managed to hit him hard. Axew then tried Dragon Rage again, but this was countered by Golett's {{m|Shadow Ball}}. Golett then used Gyro Ball again. Unable to do anything Axew started running away. Eventually Axew got exhausted and as he was about to be hit by Gyro Ball, Axew learned {{m|Outrage}}, knocking Golett back and finally defeating it.
[[File:Axew Scraggy playing.png|thumb|left|250px|As an Axew, playing with Scraggy]]
In ''[[BW048|Battle For The Underground!]]'', Axew was used to propel the train cart Ash and friends were riding on to get away from Team Rocket; along with Tepig using {{m|Ember}}, which soon became {{m|Flamethrower}}, and {{AP|Roggenrola}} using {{m|Flash Cannon}}.

He battled with Scraggy once more in ''[[BW055|Scraggy and the Demanding Gothita!]]''; however, seeing as Scraggy had learned {{m|High Jump Kick}}, they proved evenly matched. After the battle, he and Scraggy went off to play, until they ran into a {{p|Gothita}} that took a liking to Scraggy. Gothita's [[Katharine|Trainer]] challenged Ash to a battle on the condition that if she won, he'd have to trade Scraggy away to her. Ash won the battle, but Axew still had a nightmare the following night about losing his best friend. He then awoke to find that Scraggy and Gothita had left. He pursued them and attempted to get Scraggy away from Gothita by hitting it with Dragon Rage. However, it ended up disturbing a wild {{p|Garbodor}} who attacked them, until {{AP|Snivy}} showed up to protect them and Katharine, Gothita's Trainer, used her {{p|Deerling}} to calm the Trash Heap Pokémon. The next day, Axew was happy to see Gothita storm away after Snivy defeated it in battle.

In ''[[BW059|Stopping the Rage of Legends! Part 1]]'', Axew became friends with a {{p|Gothorita}} owned by [[Lewis]], who expressed great interest in him. Axew admired Gothorita as it prayed at {{p|Landorus}}'s shrine for it to rain on [[Milos Island]], and later when Gothorita saved him and Iris from falling onto some sharp rocks. Later, Axew was able to hit {{p|Thundurus}} with {{m|Dragon Rage}} and would have been hit by his {{m|Thunder}} if [[Cilan's Stunfisk]] had not blocked the attack with {{m|Mud Bomb}}. Understanding the dire situation, Axew encouraged Gothorita when it was asked by Lewis to plead with {{p|Tornadus}} and Thundurus. In ''[[BW060|Stopping the Rage of Legends! Part 2]]'', Axew helped rescue the [[Forces of Nature]] from {{TRT}}; he used Dragon Rage on [[Dr. Zager]]'s helicopter, joined by Ash's Pikachu, [[Ash's Roggenrola]], Iris's Emolga and Cilan's Pansage to cause the forcefield prisons trapping the trio to break.

In ''[[BW085|All for the Love of Meloetta!]]'', Iris used Axew in a battle against [[Cynthia's Garchomp]]. Axew's {{m|Scratch}} and {{m|Dragon Rage}} successfully hit Garchomp but seemed to do no damage. Garchomp then used her {{m|Dragon Rush}} and {{m|Draco Meteor}} attacks to cause a lot of damage to Axew. At the last second when it seemed like Axew was down, he got back up and ended up knocking Garchomp down with his newly learned {{m|Giga Impact}} and shocking everybody. Garchomp quickly recovered and was about to finish Axew off with a {{m|Brick Break}} but was called off by {{an|Cynthia}} at the last second.

In ''[[BW100|A Village Homecoming!]]'', Axew was reunited with the elder at the Village of Dragons, embracing her with open arms. She complimented his health and praised Iris for how he had been cared for. Later, when [[Shannon]]'s newly evolved {{p|Hydreigon}} lost control of himself, Axew helped {{TP|Iris|Excadrill}} corner the Brutal Pokémon after Emolga and {{TP|Iris|Dragonite}} chased him to shore. He kept Hydreigon distracted with Dragon Rage while Iris attempted to leap on him from behind to calm him down.

In ''[[BW122|What Lies Beyond Truth and Ideals!]]'', Axew frantically used Scratch to free Iris and Cilan from the metal cuffs [[Team Plasma]] had trapped them in. He later helped fight off the Pokémon controlled by Team Plasma.

In ''[[BW125|Cilan and the Case of the Purrloin Witness!]]'', Axew was used in the first round of the [[Marine Cup Tournament]]. He battled [[Teaque]]'s {{p|Vanillite}}, but was knocked out by a super-effective {{m|Ice Beam}}.
[[File:Iris Fraxure.png|thumb|250px|As a Fraxure]]
In ''[[BW139|Team Rocket's Shocking Recruit!]]'', Axew was playing with Emolga when he was attacked by a wild {{p|Galvantula}} using {{m|Electro Ball}} and sent rolling down a hill where he bumped his head on a large rock. Since Emolga had already gotten in to trouble for attacking {{AP|Oshawott}} and {{AP|Scraggy}} that morning, Iris scolded Emolga for attacking Axew, causing Emolga to become upset and fly away, worrying Axew. After being healed, Axew and the gang set off on their way to find Emolga, only to find that she had allied herself with {{TRT}}. Under the shroud of {{TP|James|Yamask}}'s {{m|Haze}}, Emolga pulled Axew away. Later, Emolga shared her plan to get back in Iris's good books with Axew, unaware that {{MTR}} was listening in. Axew acted as bait to lure in Pikachu for Emolga and called out to {{AP|Charizard}} and {{TP|Iris|Dragonite}} to make them bring Ash and his friends to him. Pikachu was captured by Team Rocket, but Iris was able to understand from Axew that the earlier accident was not Emolga's fault. However, Team Rocket trapped Axew and Emolga in a glass cage along with an angry {{p|Exploud}}. The Exploud attacked them both, but Emolga did her best to protect Axew from its attacks. Exploud picked Axew up and dropped him in its mouth, much to Iris's horror, though Axew was able to escape by using Dragon Rage. Eventually, Dragonite and Charizard were able to break the cage open, allowing Axew and Emolga to escape.

In ''[[BW141|Best Wishes Until We Meet Again!]]'', Axew and Pikachu were caught by Team Rocket, while Ash, Iris, and Cilan were trapped inside the cargo space of the ship. Eventually he and Pikachu were freed and together with Pikachu, Charizard and Pansage, Axew blasted Team Rocket off. Axew later said farewell to Ash and Pikachu as he, Iris and Cilan departed for [[Johto]].

=====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''=====
In [[JN065]], Axew was revealed to have evolved all the way into a Haxorus, like he had always dreamed of doing. He was sent out against [[Ash's Dracovish]] during Iris's [[World Coronation Series]] battle against her former traveling companion. After Haxorus successfully defeated Dracovish, it went up against [[Ash's Dragonite]]. During the match, Ash used Dragonite's {{m|Hurricane}} to redirect Haxorus's {{m|Dragon Pulse}} into the sky and reformed it into {{m|Draco Meteor}}, which it then used to defeat Haxorus, giving Ash the victory.

====Personality and characteristics====
[[File:Axew Iris hair.png|240px|thumb|left|In Iris's hair as an Axew]]
As an Axew, he proved to be a friendly Pokémon, making quick friends with [[Ash's Pikachu]] in ''[[BW002|Enter Iris and Axew!]]'' and later with other Pokémon. He and Iris have a strong relationship, as seen in ''[[BW003|A Sandile Gusher of Change!]]'', after a {{p|Sandile}} had caught him in his jaws, Iris tried everything to get him out. This was also seen in [[BWS02]], when Iris kept trying to shake her {{TP|Iris|Gible}}, who had been wild at the time, off of Axew when he kept biting on his head, which happened twice.

Though lacking superior battle skills, Axew makes up for it with a kind personality as mentioned by Cilan. If Iris feels sad, he will go off to collect fruit in order to cheer her up. Axew is also somewhat of a pacifist and often hides or panics when the other Pokémon who accompany him start to fight each other as seen in ''[[BW025|Emolga and the New Volt Switch!]]'', when he was seen running around in circles when {{AP|Oshawott}}, {{AP|Tepig}}, {{AP|Scraggy}}, and {{AP|Swadloon}} started fighting over food. However, he has been shown to have some childish traits, such as in ''[[BW008|Saving Darmanitan From the Bell!]]'', where he fought with {{AP|Pikachu}} when he thought Pikachu was the one who ate all the food.
[[File:Iris and Haxorus.png|thumb|240px|Haxorus and Iris]]
Axew will often express concern for other Pokémon. In ''[[BW024|Emolga the Irresistible!]]'', he was grateful when an {{TP|Iris|Emolga}} stopped his apple from rolling down a hill and wanted to share some of it with her. When she left after being smothered by {{an|Bianca}}, he was desperate to find her again. However, this could be because Axew has a little crush on Emolga, as confirmed by {{an|Iris}} in the same episode.

Axew also seems to see Scraggy as a little brother, since ''[[BW017|Scraggy-Hatched to be Wild!]]'' when Iris told him he was Scraggy's big brother. Since then, Axew always had kept a close eye on Scraggy to keep him out of trouble, and the two have become training partners, and best friends, most likely due to the fact that they're the youngest. In ''[[BW055|Scraggy and the Demanding Gothita!]]'' he was horrified that he might never see him again if Scraggy was given to [[Katharine]], even having a nightmare about it.

It is unknown whether he still holds on to these traits after his evolution, although he seems more serious.

===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{chap|Black & White}}====
{{p|Haxorus}} first appeared as a {{p|Fraxure}} in ''[[PS478|Big City Battles]]'', where [[Iris]] was seen riding it in [[Castelia City]]. It mostly remained [[Walking Pokémon|outside of its Poké Ball]] during Iris's future appearances.

In ''[[PS499|School of Hard Knocks]]'', Fraxure briefly battled against [[Drayden]]'s {{p|Druddigon}} at the [[Tubeline Bridge]], but lost.

In ''[[PS514|The Tournament Continues]]'', Iris used Fraxure in her {{un|Pokémon League}} battle against [[Zinzolin|Gray]], managing to defeat his {{p|Cryogonal}} despite the type disadvantage. In ''[[PS516|One Way or Another]]'', Fraxure was used against {{adv|Black}}'s [[Brav]] in Iris's next round battle. As Iris had estimated, Fraxure had gained enough [[experience]] to allow it to evolve into Haxorus in the middle of the battle. Both Pokémon were [[recall]]ed immediately afterwards. Iris later sent Haxorus back out against Black's [[Costa]], planning to take advantage of Haxorus's {{a|Mold Breaker}} to bypass Costa's {{a|Solid Rock}} [[Ability]]. However, Costa eventually managed to catch one of Haxorus's tusks in its jaws and defeat it with a close-range {{m|Ice Beam}}, causing Iris to lose the match.
