Froakie!

Awesome!

Now use Water Pulse!

Froakie!

Yes!

Froak!

[man] You still have much work to do!

Froak?

Froakie!

So you've found me, eh?

Pika!

Wow, a ninja!

[Ash] "A Rush of Ninja Wisdom!"

[narrator] En route to Cyllage City, where Ash intends

to challenge his second Kalos region gym,

our heroes have encountered a mysterious ninja.

Where could he have gone?

Froak!

Froakie!

[ninja] Use your Frubbles!

Kie!

Good, Froakie!

Let's go!

Froak, Froak, Froak...

Froak?

Kie, Kie!

Froak!Frog.

Who's that Pokémon?

[woman] Frogadier, the Bubble Frog Pokémon

and the evolved form of Froakie.

Frogadier's speed is unmatched.

It can climb a tower over two thousand feet tall

in one minute.

The evolved form of Froakie?

Kie?

Frogadier!

Frog!

Pika!It's so cool!

Dedenne!

I am Sanpei, a young and skillful ninja!

So you're a ninja?

Incredible!

Pika!

My name's Ash!

You've got a great partner there with Frogadier!

How about a battle with my Froakie?

I've been looking for a suitable opponent for my Frogadier

to battle against.

But I have my doubts that your Froakie is powerful enough.

Dier.

What?Froak!

Won't know until we try, will we?

Froakie!

All right, then.

I accept your challenge!

Frog!

Yeah!

Kay Froakie, let's go!

Froakie!

[Clemont] The one-on-one battle between Ash and Sanpei,

the young ninja, is about to begin!

The battle will be over when one Pokémon is unable to continue.

Is that understood?

All right-- Battle begin!

You may have the first move, Ash.

I accept.

Froakie, use Bubble!

Kie!

Froakie!

Dodge it!

Frog!

So fast!Pika!

Well, we can move fast, too!

Now, chase Frogadier and use Pound!

Froakie!

Frogadier, dodge!

Frogadier!

Kie!Dier!

Now try it again!

Kie, Kie!

Frogadier!Froak?

Frogadier-- Dier!

Kie!Dier!

Kie!Dier, Dier!

Frogadier's quick!

In that case, aim and use Water Pulse, let's go!

Froak, Froak...

Kie!

Frogadier, Smokescreen!

Dier!

Pika!

Where did Frogadier go?

Pikachu!

It's a ninja stealth skill.

Froak?

Froakie, concentrate!

Use your instinct!

Water Pulse!

Froak, Froakie!

Kie!

Frog!

Now use Bubble!

Dier!

Frog!

Counter with Bubble!

Froakie!

Kie!

Froakie!

Froak, Froak!

Water Pulse, let's go!

Dier, Dier!

Now-- You use Water Pulse too!

Froakie!

Froak!

Yeah, way to go!

Pika...Awesome!

So is Frogadier stronger

because it's the evolved form of Froakie?

Pika, Pika!

Being the evolved form has nothing to do with it.

We're gonna win this using our spirit!

Now, Froakie, Water Pulse!

Froak!

Use Quick Attack-- Go!

Frogadier!

Kie!

Froak, Froak, Froak!

Oh no!

I'm getting dizzy...

Frog, Frog, Frog, Frog, Frog, Frog...

I've never seen a Quick Attack like this before!

Frogadier, Frog, Frog, Frog, Frog, Frog...

Dodge it, quick!

Froak--

Kie...

You okay?

[Sanpei] This battle is over.

No one has ever withstood my Frogadier's Quick Attack

and been able to continue battling.

Frog.

Froak, Froak.

Kie...

That's the spirit, Froakie!

We're just getting warmed up!

All right, then use Quick Attack, one more time!

Frog!

Now, Ninja Leaf Shroud!

Dier!

Froakie!

It was already over...

Froakie just wouldn't quit.

Froakie...

Kie, Kie, Froak...

I hate to admit it, but we lost.

Here, drink this.

Froak...

We lost because I didn't come up with a good strategy.

I let you down.

I'm sorry.

That's exactly correct.

What was that?

And not only strategy, your Froakie still needs

a lot more training.

You completely misread the way our battle progressed

and Froakie trusted its own power far more

than it should have.

You were fortunate Froakie didn't take more damage

than it did.

Dier!

Here!

What's that?

It's a remedy that's been formulated using Energy Root.

It will replenish Froakie's energy.

Froak!

When a medicine is bitter, you can be quite sure

that it's going to work!

Froakie, Froak, Froak, Froakie!

Wow, Froakie's looking better already!

Well, it's time for us to leave.

Gadier!

Hey, wait a minute!

Something else I can do for you?

Please!

Show me how you did it!

Did what?

Pika?

In all the time I've been training,

I've never seen a Quick Attack as amazing

as the one Frogadier used in battle!

So, please teach my Froakie how to use it like that!

You wanna learn how to do it, don't you?

Kie.

Won't you help us?

Kie...

All right.

You're not kidding?No way!

Yeah!

Isn't that great, Froakie?

Froakie!

But!

My training methods are very strict!

That's just fine with us!

Okay, Froakie?Froak!

Watching this is such amazing stuff!

Two Trainers can be part of a really tough battle

and then be friends once their battle's over.

That's what a Pokémon battle's all about.

So you know, when I train a Pokémon, I train them hard,

and I train hard along with them!

Yeah, I'm right with you!

I'll train hard right along with Froakie!

I want to be a ninja too!

Then, Bonnie, just leave it to me!

Pikachu!

Dedenne!

I'm a ninja!

Awesome, Bonnie!

You really look the part!

Thanks!

Dedenne, Dedenne!

Dedenne, Dedenne, Dedenne!

Dedenne, Dedenne!

The important thing about Quick Attack is, of course,

to be able to move quickly.

And to do that, one must develop springy and flexible muscles,

so the first thing we need to do is work on

strengthening your spring.

I'd say it's time for me to step up!

You'd better prepare yourselves for this!

Clemontic Gear, on!

I call this my Muscle Mass Magnifying Machine!

I thought we'd encounter a situation

precisely like this one!

Uh, Okay.

So you put springs on your shoes.

Ah, but they're not normal springs!

The basis of all exercise is increasing muscle strength.

The springs I've equipped in these shoes multiply the power

of your jumping by using your body weight in the process!

Because of the added load of your body weight,

they strengthen your leg muscles rapidly!

Wow-- Science is so amazing!

Allow me to show you how it works.

[screaming]

Well, he disappeared really fast, no doubt!

Camouflage skill!

Dedenne, Dedenne!Pika, Pika!

Pika!

Training must proceed step by step!

Frogadier, please demonstrate for them

our basic training method!

Frogadier!

Frogadier, Dier, Dier, Dier, Dier, Dier, Dier...

So quick...Froak.

All right, Froakie, do you think you can keep up with Frogadier?

Froakie!

There's no better time for you to give it a try!

Froakie!

Froakie!

Froakie!

Froakie!

I am always one with my Pokémon.

Always!

Yeah, me too!

Pikachu!Dedenne!

[Bonnie] Yeah, me too!

Dier, Dier, Dier, Dier...

You're not jumping fast enough!

Keep it up, Froakie!

Froak, Froak!

You're still jumping too slowly!

How about this?

Froak, Froak, Froak!

Faster!

Froak!

I can't do any more!

Pikachu!

Dedenne, Dedenne!

Froak, Froak, Froak, Froak, Froak...

Excellent!

It looks like Froakie's beginning to move

just as fast as Frogadier is!

Keep up the pace, you're getting there!

Froak, Froak, Froak, Froak, Froak!Frogadier, Frogadier!

That was well done!

Time for the next step!

Ninja stealth skill...

Pika, Pika...

[Sanpie] Next, we'll teach Froakie to run over water.

[Serena] On water?

But running on water is scientifically impossible...

Nah, we can do it!

All right, Frogadier will show you how it's done.

Frogadier!

Frog!

Frogadier!

I can't believe Frogadier really ran on water!

Froakie!

Now it's your turn to show them!

Froakie!

Froakie, you can do it!

Froak, Froak, Froak, Froak...

Frogadier!

Kie...

'Kay, now it's my turn!

Oh no, Ash!

Are you okay?Pika, Pi!

No good, can't do it!

Naturally it's impossible for me as well!

Why didn't you tell me that?

The trick to being able to run over water

is to make sure you move your feet quickly.

Move your feet quickly...

Can you do that, Froakie?

Froakie!Yeah, like that!

Go!

Froak, Froak, Froak...

Froak, Froak, Froak, Froak!

Froakie, no!

Froakie, Froak!

Okay, try it again!

Froak!

Froak, Froak, Froak, Froak...

Kie, Froak!You can do it, Froakie!

Froak-- Froak, Froak, Froak, Froak...

Kie, Froak!

Show 'em how it's done, Froakie!

Frog.

Gadier, Dier.

Dier, Dier, Dier, Dier, Dier, Dier, Dier...

Frog!

Frogadier!

Feeling frustrated?Kie...

Froak!

Then use all that frustration and get out there!

Do it!Froak!

Froak, Froak, Froak, Froak, Froak, Froak, Froak, Froak...

Kie!

You did it!

Pika, Pika!

Froakie, Froakie, Froakie, Froakie!

Gadier.Froak?

Kie...

[Jesse] That Frogadier is something else.

Team Rocket ninjas-- Great!

No, wait-- Team Rocket ninja Pokémon...

We'll put together a ninja Pokémon posse

and Froakie and Frogadier will be the stars!

Wobbuffet!

[all] Who's that Pokémon?

[all] It's Frogadier!

Frogadier!

[Ash] 'Kay, Sanpei, what kind of training do we do next?

[Sanpei] Now let me think...

[stomachs grumbling]

No!

I'm as embarrassed as I can be.

That's nothing that a little lunch can't fix

and I'll take care of the cooking!

And I'll make the dessert.

It's ninja lunchtime!

[Clemont] All right...[all] Let's eat!

Hey, thanks!Pika, Pika!

Wow, this is great!

Delish-- What is it?

You're eating fried noodles.

It's now my favorite food!

I'd heard of it from my friends in Ninja Village.

It's so good!

Please try the cookies I baked, too.

This is the best cookie ever!

There's nothing like a nap after a good meal...

For sure!

So Sanpei... that Ninja Village you mentioned...

Is that your hometown?

That's right.

It's also the home of my oldest brother, Ippei,

who is by far the strongest man in Ninja Village.

He's there with his Greninja.

[ash] Greninja?

The final evolution of Froakie.

And there's my other brother Nihei,

who lives in Ninja Village as well, with his Venusaur.

So there's Ippei, there's Nihei and there's Sanpei.

Dedenne, Dedenne...

My ultimate goal is to one day defeat both of my brothers

and assume the title of strongest ninja

in Ninja Village once and for all.

So I guess you left Ninja Village so you could train,

right?Exactly.

What about you, Ash?

I'm working hard to one day become a Pokémon Master!

Oh...

[Serena] It's incredible how even though your goals are different,

you're both working as hard as you can to realize your dreams!

[Clemont] Sounds like you make good rivals.

Pika, Pika!

Pikachu!

[Sanpei] Next we'll train by jumping from tree branch to tree branch,

in order to get the kind of expl*sive power

one needs to execute an exceptional Quick Attack.

All right then Ash and Froakie, you follow Frogadier and me!

Froakie, this is where we really need to step on the gas!

Froak!Then, let's go!

Frog...Froak, Froak!

Yeah!

Always look two or three branches ahead!

You'll go faster!

Frogadier!

Once you get the hang of it, you won't believe your speed!

Froak, Froak, Froak, Froak...Wow, Froakie!

You've gotten a lot faster!

Frogadier!

Yeah, keep it up, Froakie!

Froakie!

Froakie!

Froak!

[Sanpei] Are you two all right?

Yeah!

Remember, you need to act with complete awareness

of your surroundings at all times!

I'll do that!

Thanks a lot!Froakie.

Now, Ninja Leaf Shroud!

Pika, Pikachu!

Pika, Pika, Pikachu!

And next up, we finally work on our Quick Attack!

Hear that?

We're ready to go!Froak!

All right, Frogadier, show them how it's done.Frog!

Now use Quick Attack!

Frogadier, Dier!

Frogadier!

[Clemont] I get it.

Quick Attack generates so much power

because it's done with so much speed!

Yeah!

Frogadier's Quick Attack is as awesome as I've seen.

Wow!Pikachu!

Now, why don't you give it a try?

Right!

Okay, Froakie, Quick Attack, let's go!

Froak, Froak, Froak, Froak, Froakie!

Froak!

Froakie's form is correct, but it still moves too slowly.

'Kay, one more time!

Froak, Froak, Froak, Froak...

You've got to move your feet with more speed!

Froak, Froak, Froak, Froak!

Keep thinking of your next move!

Froak, Froak, Froak, Froakie!

Froakie!

We're almost there!

But I still wouldn't call what Froakie's doing a Quick Attack.

Frogadier.

Froakie?

Hold on, what's that?

[Jesse] Prepare for trouble, hold on for dear life!

[James] And make it double, the fury and strife!

To protect the world from devastation!

To unite all people within our nation!

To denounce the evils of truth and love!

To extend our reach to the stars above!

Jessie!

And it's James!

Team Rocket stealthily blasts off at the speed of light!

Surrender now or prepare for one ninja-esque fight!

Meowth, that's right!

Wobbuffet!

Team Rocket!Pika!

Who are they?

They're really bad guys who steal other people's Pokémon!

[Jesse] It's a gift!

[James] Now we're going to add Froakie and Frogadier

to our evil Pokémon ranks!

We'll catch 'em right now, then the Boss will say thanks!

Froak!

Oh yeah...

Frogadier!

Frogadier, Frubbles!

Frogadier!

My hair's frosted!

All right Ash!

Froakie and Frogadier need to put their strength together!

So that's what we'll do!

Well, I prefer apart!

Separate them!

Don't sweat it!

You gotta keep 'em separated!

[both] Quick Attack, let's go!

Dier, Dier, Dier, Dier, Dier...Froak, Froak, Froak, Froak...

Kie!

Froakie, no!

Frogadier!

[Meowth] Feet don't fail me now!

Okay...

Net!

Dier!

Froak!

[both] Frogadier!

Oh, hear hear!

Pikachu, use Iron Tail!

Pikachu!

Chu!

[Meowth] More net!

Pikachu too?

[James] Ooh, you're a crack shot!

Catching three Pokémon hits the spot!

No way!

Froakie, Quick Attack, once more!

Froak, Froak, Froak, Froak...

The only way you could dodge these is not be here!

Froak, Froak, Froak, Froak!

Froak, Froak, Froak, Froak!

Froak...

Froak, Froak, Froak, Froak!

Froak, Froak, Froak, Froak!

What's going on?

Froakie's using Double Team!

Froak, Froak, Froak, Froak!

Froak, Froak, Froak, Froak!

[Meowth] I don't wanna play Pick the Real Pokémon!

Now...

Water Pulse!

Froak!

Froak, Froak!

Froak, Froak!

Froakie!

Wow, Froakie did it!

'Kay-- Pikachu, Thunderbolt!

Pikachu!

Let's wrap this up!

Okay!

[both] Use Water Pulse, now!

Froak...Frog...

Adier!Kie!

[Team Rocket] We're blasting off again!

Wobbuffet!

Yeah!

Froakie and Pikachu, you're safe!

Pika!

Amazing!

You were great, Frogadier!

Frog!

[Sanpei] Frogadier?

I think we owe them a debt of gratitude

for all they did for us.

Gadier!

We're the ones who should thank you.

You're the reason Froakie could use Double Team.

Thanks so much for all the great training!

Kie!

Ash, that was as amazing a Double Team as any

I've ever seen either of my brothers' Pokémon use!

Thanks...

although it really started out as a Quick Attack,

but I guess that's okay.

Froakie's Double Team should be very useful from here on out.

It gives you another move to use in battles!

And it's totally cool!

Dedenne!

'Kay, we're off.

Let's battle again next time we meet, 'kay?

Pika, pika!

You've got yourself a deal!

Take care!

See you!

Bye!

Be good!Dedenne!

Farewell, everyone!

Kie, Kie, Froak!Frog!

Froak!

[narrator] Thanks to the guidance of Sanpei and Frogadier,

Froakie has honed its Quick Attack skills

and learned how to use Double Team as well!

Now, after promises to meet again,

our heroes are back on the road, as the journey continues!
