In ''[[XY120|All Hail the Ice Battlefield!]]'', Greninja was Ash's final Pokémon used in his Gym battle against [[Wulfric]] and faced his {{p|Avalugg}}. Although damaged by the {{weather|Hail}}, which also gave Avalugg recovery because of its {{a|Ice Body}} ability, Greninja used its great speed to hit Avalugg with a strong Cut, after dodging the incoming {{m|Stone Edge}}. It then attacked with Aerial Ace, which Avalugg countered with {{m|Gyro Ball}}, repelling Greninja. Greninja then fired several Water Shurikens at Avalugg's feet while the latter kept spinning to shield itself. The cold, however, froze Avalugg's wet feet to the ground, leaving it wide open for another Cut. Now having gained the upper hand, Ash and Greninja were able to activate the Ash-Greninja form and completely overwhelmed Avalugg, sending it sliding backwards with a series of powerful hits from Aerial Ace. Wulfric, however, used Greninja's now even greater speed to his advantage by commanding Avalugg to use {{m|Avalanche}}, which was powered up due to Avalugg acting after its opponent, causing Ash visible pain. Greninja was then able to hit Avalugg with Cut after tearing through its Stone Edge, but Avalugg immediately retaliated by knocking Greninja in the air with another Stone Edge. After another exchange of blows with Aerial Ace and Avalanche, Greninja attacked with another Cut, but this time Avalugg caught it with {{m|Ice Fang}}, slowly freezing Greninja. Unable to escape Avalugg's fangs, Greninja was left vulnerable to a Gyro Ball, sending it flying into the Gym's wall, knocking it out, causing Ash to fall down as well. Ash later on oversaw Greninja lying unconscious in the [[Pokémon Center]], blaming himself for their loss. Ash decides to leave Greninja and walked off into the [[Kalos Route 20|Winding Woods]] alone.

It was [[XY121|later]] revealed that Greninja was awake while Ash talked to it in the Pokémon Center and the following morning, Serena, Clemont and Bonnie found out it had left on its own as well. While sitting in a tree somewhere in the Winding Woods, Greninja thought back to its losses against Sawyer's Sceptile and Wulfric's Avalugg, leaving it upset. Greninja was also pretty angry at Ash for leaving it, but after thinking back to Ash's words in the Pokémon Center, Greninja got angry at itself for not thinking about it sooner and decided to go and find him. Later, in the midst of a blizzard, Greninja came across Squishy in its [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Zygarde|10% Form]], who was looking for Ash as well. Using Zygarde Cells, Squishy managed to locate Ash, who was trying to help a bunch of {{p|Spewpa}} to get out of a tree branch above a cliff, and informed Greninja. When Ash reached for the last Spewpa, the branch broke and both fell down the ravine. Greninja, however, arrived just in time to save Ash from falling by grabbing him with its tongue. A sudden gust of wind, however, caused Ash to lose grip of the Spewpa. Determined to save Spewpa, Ash and Greninja were able to activate the Ash-Greninja form and with their feelings in sync, Greninja was able to reach the final stage and perfect the Ash-Greninja form. While Greninja jumped down the cliff, Ash, able to share Greninja's vision, gave Greninja the proper commands to get both it and Spewpa safely on the ground. Afterwards, Ash and Greninja along with some forest Pokémon sought shelter in a cave, where the two made up and promised to start over from zero again. Later on, Ash and Greninja reunited with the group again and after Pikachu defeated Team Rocket they returned to the Pokémon Center. At the Pokémon Center, Greninja showed Ash its Poké Ball and rolled it over to him, like the time when it was first caught, signifiying their resolve to start over again.

In ''[[XY131|Down to the Fiery Finish!]]'', Greninja was Ash's final Pokemon used in the finals against Alain, where it was sent out against Alain's Bisharp. Due to the {{weather|rain}}, set up earlier by {{AP|Goodra}}'s {{m|Rain Dance}}, its {{type|Water}} attacks were powered up which allowed it to defeat Bisharp with Water Shuriken after dodging its Iron Head with Double Team. Alain then sent out his final Pokémon, Charizard, again. First, Charizard fired off a Flamethrower while both Pokémon headed towards each other. Greninja, however, avoided the attack and struck Charizard with a powerful Cut. After the rain cleared, it transformed into Ash-Greninja while Charizard Mega Evolved into Mega Charizard X. Greninja then started attacking by charging at Charizard while using Double Team. Charizard, however, wiped out its clones with Flamethrower, creating a huge cloud of smoke. Greninja then appeared from the smoke and fired off a Water Shuriken which was countered by Charizard's Dragon Claw. Both Pokémon then engaged in a brawl using Aerial Ace and Dragon Claw, but eventually Charizard managed to outmaneuver Greninja and knock it off its feet with Dragon Claw. After blocking a Flamethrower with Cut, Greninja slammed its Water Shuriken on the ground to counter Charizard's Blast Burn. As another cloud of smoke covered the field, Greninja was able to hit Charizard with Aerial Ace, slamming it onto the ground. Charizard, however, stood up and knocked it back with Dragon Claw. After clashing with Dragon Claw and Cut, Charizard attacked with Thunder Punch, but Greninja used Water Shuriken as a melee weapon to counter the attack and was able to strike Charizard with it. Ash and Alain then had their Pokémon use Water Shuriken and Blast Burn, respectively. As Greninja unleashed all of its power into the attack, its Shuriken grew to massive size and changed to a fiery red-orange color. Both Pokémon then fired off their powerful attacks with both scoring a direct hit on their opponent, causing another explosion and leaving the battlefield covered in smoke. Although initially both Pokémon were still standing, Greninja wasn't able to take the damage and fainted, causing Ash to end up as the Runner-Up of the Lumiose Conference.

Greninja was then taken captive by Lysandre along with Ash being captive as well and his other Pokémon as hostages in ''[[XY132|A Towering Takeover!]]''. In [[XY133|the next episode]], it and Ash were hit by Team Flare's Mega Evolution energy ray to control them, but they broke free using [[Bond Phenomenon]]. After Alain's Charizard broke Ash's other Pokémon free, Greninja, along with everyone else, battled against [[Lysandre's Pyroar]] and his {{Shiny}} Mega {{p|Gyarados}}. During the battle it struggled blocking Pyroar's {{m|Hyper Beam}} using Cut, but was aided by {{AP|Noivern}}'s {{m|Boomburst}}. [[XY134|Later on]], after Pyroar, Noivern, Hawlucha, and Goodra had already been defeated, Greninja and Talonflame tried attacking Gyarados with Cut and Flame Charge, but were knocked in the air by Stone Edge. Despite being caught by Charizard, Gyarados slammed the three Pokémon to the ground with {{m|Dragon Tail}}, knocking Talonflame out. After [[Malva]] had appeared and decided to fight alongside Ash and Alain, Greninja blocked an incoming {{m|Incinerate}} with Water Shuriken. In the end, Greninja, Pikachu and Charizard were the only ones left facing Lysandre's Gyarados, although now aided by Malva's Mega {{p|Houndoom}}. The battle finally concluded in  ''[[XY135|Rocking Kalos Defenses!]]'', where Greninja and Charizard hit Gyarados with a respective Cut and Dragon Claw, allowing Pikachu to finish the Atrocious Pokémon off with a Thunderbolt.

Greninja later helped [[Serena's Braixen]], [[Steven's Metagross]], and Professor Sycamore's Garchomp fight against the Megalith {{p|Zygarde}}. Greninja managed to sense Chespie's location inside the creature and managed to throw a Water Shuriken into its body, marking the location. It, along with the other Pokémon, was eventually subdued by the creature's roots, but was freed by a combined attack from the Pokémon of all the Kalos Gym Leaders and Diantha. After strategizing, everyone combined their powers to fend off the Megalith Zygarde's roots, allowing Ash and Alain to reach its center and save Chespie, bringing the creature down. After the resurrection of the Megalith Zygarde, who was now controlled by Lysandre, Greninja, Pikachu, and Alain's Charizard managed to destroy Lysandre's control device, allowing Squishy and [[Z2]] to destroy the Megalith Zygarde. In the aftermath Greninja is awarded a medal with Ash and the rest of the gang for their efforts against Team Flare.
