Pokémon: Newborn Ash Ketchum, starting from Hoenn

"Flying Water Shuriken!" x2

Xiaozhi and Ippei gave orders at the same time, and the two Greninjas disappeared without a trace in an instant like two lightning bolts, leaving only a few flying water shurikens flying at various tricky angles throughout the square.

The flying water shurikens of both sides collided and exploded in the air, forming a large amount of water vapor. The white mist was like a huge curtain, covering the entire battlefield.

Suddenly, there was a fierce collision sound in the mist. Xiaozhi and Yiping gave orders at the same time again, "Attacking the vital points!"

Before he finished speaking, the mist was split by the long blade that contained evil energy, as if two black lightning bolts were passing through the mist. Figures holding long blades in each hand kept flashing and colliding.

This time, Xiaozhi spoke first, "Shadow Clone!"

Xiaozhi's Greninja held the double blades in both hands, and the power exploded, instantly repelling Ippei's Greninja. Then, its figure split into countless clones, like a pack of wolves, and rushed towards Ippei's Greninja.

"Ninjutsu - Substitution Jutsu!"

Yiping suddenly felt that something was wrong, and he immediately issued an order.

I saw a black mist surging around his Greninja, and it disappeared from the spot in an instant like a ghost.

"Flying water shuriken!"

Immediately afterwards, countless flying water shurikens suddenly attacked from mid-air like a meteor shower. In a blink of an eye, Xiaozhi's Greninja's clone shattered like a mirror, and it itself was also repelled by the flying water shurikens.

Ippei didn't give Xiaozhi any chance to catch his breath, and immediately gave the order: "Attacking the vital points!"

"Be careful behind you!" Xiaozhi hurriedly reminded.

His Greninja suddenly appeared behind Xiaozhi's Greninja like a ghost, holding an evil sharp blade emitting cold light in each hand, and slashed down without mercy.

Xiaozhi's Greninja reacted quickly enough. He turned around and barely grabbed the two evil blades with both hands, but the evil energy contained in them suddenly erupted, and like a volcanic eruption, he instantly knocked Xiaozhi's Greninja away.

Xiaozhi's Greninja shook its head and stood up again immediately.

Xiaozhi's eyes sparkled with a gleam of light like stars, "As expected of the top ninja in the ninja village, you are really powerful! It seems like we have to show some real skills too!"

"Koga Ninja!"

"We will become stronger, stronger, stronger!"

Satoshi and Greninja shook hands fiercely as if they were in sync. The waves of both sides intertwined together, causing a violent current of water to rise around Greninja!

"What is this?!"

Seeing some familiar shapes in the water, all the ninjas in the ninja village exclaimed.

Mr. Hanzo narrowed his eyes and asked, "Is this a hero?"

"It's appeared, Greninja's special form!" Yurika cheered on the side.

Ippei looked at Greninja, who was in a special yet familiar state, and his heart was immediately alarmed. He did not dare to be careless at all, "Greninja, Flying Water Shuriken!"

"Yan Fan approaches! Then use a sneak attack on the vital points!"

Ash·Greninja shot out like a cannonball, with dazzling white light blooming on his hands, and rudely shattered all the flying water shurikens coming towards him, while Ash was performing synchronized movements with it.

Then Xiaozhi made the action of drawing the sword again. Xiaozhi and Greninja also drew out the evil blade in the water flow and attacked the vital point secretly!

With the added bonus of Swallow Return's guaranteed hit, the two sharp blades struck Greninja like lightning, causing it to cry out in pain, and Satoshi Greninja disappeared instantly.

Just as Yiping's Greninja was about to stand up, Xiaozhi's voice rang out again, and he casually wiped his trouser leg, "Flying Water Shuriken!"

Several flying water shurikens fell from the sky like meteors and hit Ippei's Greninja with lightning speed. Finally, it fell heavily to the ground and lost its ability to fight.

Ash·Greninja, wrapped in the water flow, landed in front of Ash like a blue lightning. The water flow dissipated and returned to its original appearance!

At this moment, Xiaozhi also breathed a sigh of relief. You know, in this state, Xiaozhi and Greninja are completely synchronized, and their physical strength will be consumed rapidly. It’s only because Xiaozhi’s physical strength is very strong, otherwise he would not be able to support it and carry out the bond evolution!

Ippei stared at Xiaozhi's Greninja for a long time, then shook his head and said to Xiaozhi calmly, "I lost. I was no match for him! But Xiaozhi's state just now..."

But at this moment, old man Hanzo came over and interrupted him, "Ippei, take Xiaozhi to the ancestral hall!"

"Yes!" Yiping quickly responded.

Although Xiaozhi was a little confused, because he felt that the Ninja Village seemed to have different emotions towards Greninja in a bound state with him, perhaps it was related to this shrine!

The two brothers Ippei and Nippei were going to take Satoshi to the underground shrine of the Ninja Village, so Sanpei brought Serena and others to his room to rest for a while.

When Xiaozhi walked in, he found that what was enshrined here was a stone slab with portraits of three Pokémon painted on it, with Warrior Eagle and Antrum on both sides, and a Greninja in the middle!

This Greninja is facing away from the screen, and is obviously different from the ordinary Greninja in details. From the head, one can even see that it is very similar to Satoshi's Greninja in a bound state. However, there is a huge water shuriken behind it on the stone slab, and the posture is very handsome!

Xiaozhi also roughly understood that this should be the complete form of Greninja's bond evolution. He never thought that someone had mastered this power a long time ago!

"According to the legend, it was common for ninja companions to fight each other in this village. It was these ninjas who stood up to fight and protect the village at that time!" Ippei introduced the legend of the ninja village to Xiaozhi.

"The leader of these Pokémon is this special Greninja! Xiaozhi, you should have sensed it, your Greninja is very similar to this heroic Greninja! Maybe it is the heroic Greninja!"

Xiaozhi nodded thoughtfully!

Ippei then laughed and said, "To be honest, I chose Frog as my companion because I admire this hero so much!"
