Ash's Greninja: Difference between revisions

Shortly after evolving into Greninja, through its strong bond with Ash, he could call upon a transformation similar to [[Mega Evolution]], where it took on an appearance resembling its Trainer while being covered in a water veil. In its final form, the water veil moved from around its body to its back and formed an "X" shape, which resembled wings, then the wings formed into a small sphere shape of water on the middle of its back with a light blue ring in the middle of it and it then grew in size until it formed into a giant shuriken made of water. Its full capabilities were unknown, but it appeared to give a significant boost in speed and power. In its completed form, it could rival the power of Mega Evolved Pokémon. This form came with a side-effect: whenever Greninja took damage, the pain was shared with Ash in the same location where Greninja was hurt. Ash was also shown to be able to see from Greninja's point of view and would occasionally mimic Greninja's movements. Ash described it as feeling like he "became" Greninja. It was revealed by Clemont's device that Ash and Greninja shared exactly the same heartbeat while Greninja was in the form and that the form could be accessed when Ash and Greninja's feelings synchronized. If the form was pushed too hard, it was possible for Ash to pass out from the resulting exhaustion and pain. The term '''Ash-Greninja''' (Japanese: '''サトシゲッコウガ''' ''Satoshi-Gekkouga'') was officially coined by Bonnie in ''[[XY120|All Hail the Ice Battlefield!]]''. During the [[XY121|next episode]], Ash and Greninja made amends and were able to trigger the transformation at will. [[XY122|By the time of their rematch against Wulfric]], Ash and Greninja were able to use the form without passing out, and although they still shared each other's pain, it seemed to be more manageable for Ash to handle. [[XY129|During the Lumiose Conference]], it was soon revealed by Professor Sycamore that the transformation Greninja went through was known as [[Bond Phenomenon]].
