Ash and Iris in “Thrash of the Titans!”

Iris, is that Haxorus the fully evolved form of Axew I met?

Iris

That's right! And now it's my strongest partner! [Note: The reason Iris' Axew had to become Haxorus is because fans did not approve of the writer's decision of having Axew being kept in his base state throughout the Black and White series and making Axew get lost in the Unova League]
