XY017: Difference between revisions

Along a road, {{Ash}} and {{AP|Froakie}} are  training. While Ash is satisfied with the results, a stranger from the trees is not. Froakie shoots its frubbles at a tree, and the stranger, having been disguised to blend in with the tree, reveals himself, a ninja. As Ash and the travelers exclaim, the ninja uses his "ninja art of leaf concealment" to suddenly vanish. Froakie notices rustling in a bush, and when it shoots its frubbles, they are shot back, the work of a {{p|Frogadier}}. The ninja boy introduces himself as [[Sanpei]]. Ash takes the opportunity to have a battle, and Sanpei complies, after concerns that Froakie was lacking in strength. Froakie begins with {{m|Bubble}}, followed by {{m|Pound}} repeatedly, both of which Frogadier evades with its superior speed. Once realizing his disadvantage, Ash commands Froakie to use {{m|Water Pulse}}, but is deterred by Frogadier's {{m|Smokescreen}}, and the ninja's Pokémon temporarily vanishes. Ash commands Froakie to find Frogadier's position and use Water Pulse again, but Froakie hits a decoy made by Frogadier, who jumps from behind it. Sanpei commands Frogadier to use Bubble and Water Pulse, and Froakie counters with the same attacks for both but is overpowered. Frogadier counters Froakie's final Water Pulse with {{m|Quick Attack}}, and Froakie is hit, dodging too slow. As Sanpei uses a final Quick Attack to finish the battle, he realizes the Froakie cannot fight back and moves the Pokémon out of danger with leaf concealment. The battle is over, and Ash has lost.
