Ash: Lucario, it's time to Mega Evolve™!

Greninja: ...I didn't even need a mega stone to fight with you

Lucario was jealous af lol

Tell em that Greninja is back😎,

but we couldn't see ash greninja😔

We saw the near connection. With that last water shuriken, Ash and Greninja were in complete sync. THey just didnt become fully one.

Actually not jealous just Overwhelmed which turned into frustration.

while yes, i think he can only be in the Ash greninja state with Ash, so if he wanted to do that, Ash would have to have both a battle bonded pokemon out and a mega evolution, and who freaking knows how much stress that would put on him and having to copy both of their moves to what i think is staying in synch with them, that would probably be too much and he would collapse.

IF he could pull it off though he'd be unstoppable

Imagine double battles like that... Damn

Imagine they actually bring back double battles again

Maybe Gigantamax Gengar + Ash Greninja in the battle to lessen the burden for Ash. Ash-Greninja has to be last to appear because it's potentially dangerous for Ash as well.

I know you said potentially dangerous but it never was dangerous just very exhausting and yes I understand there's been deaths by exhaustion I wouldn't say it applies here.

What I mean is during Bond damages experienced by Greninja he suffers too

Yeah that is dangerous.

idc about people saying its dissapointing, this episode was fire. and now lucario can launch freeze bombs. greninja is probably gonna return once ash finds out that he's fighting alan, because he LOVES fighting with the pokemon that lost to someone before. and greninja was the highlight of that fight

Lucario learned spirit bomb,
I can see him using it against Duraludon

greninja used rasenshuriken while lucario learned giant rasengan. lol

LOL! I was thinking of that too! I was even shouting "OODAMA RASENGAN!" while Lucario was firing that giant aura sphere. XD

Would've been even more fire if the XYZ/Ash-Greninja theme song played in this episode

YES, Exactly what i was thinking. I was waiting for it the entire time

Agreed

lucario at the end of the episode be like
gekkouga-senpai ><

Glad to see Gekkouga back, and this time even stronger, basically toying with Lucario there.
Lastly Satoshi also synching his movement with Lucario, maybe we can see Mega Satoshi-Lucario??

Next finally Master Eight promotion. Saw that Alan is one of the Master Eight, don't know if it was true, but if it was, I hope to see Gekkouga back for revenge.

Hope so to but If I had to guess he may be one of the higher ups which he would probably be under Cynthia and I'm betting in the few eps from now it probably be Paul next.

List according to me:-
1. Leon (this one's confirmed)
2. Cynthia
3. Tobias (if not, then Steven?)
4. Lance (can be no. 3)
5. Dyantha
6. Alan
7. Paul (possible)
8.Raihan (soon Satoshi)
9. Satoshi (currently)
10. Bea (or other top 4 member like Flint)

I get that Leon, Cynthia, Lance and Satoshi are confirmed, but how do you know if Alain is in masters 8 too?

Ah

Yeah Paul will return as seen is OP, but it seems like he wasn't in Master Eight, or the poster I seen was just fake

Who knows at this point

Battle bond would be a great power-up, especially since they restrict only one(Mega evolve, Z-move, G-max) in one battle. If Lucario have battle bond on top of Mega evolve, or fire a Z-move in Ash-Lucario form I wonder how OP he would be

really hope greninja will return again

I doubt Greninja is done. We all thought Hikari(Dawn) was done yet she's appeared in 4 episodes, 8 if we count the legends Arceus specials. Shigeru(Gary) has appeared multiple times since his return. Hell I doubt we've seen the last of Serena.

We also saw korrina again so yeah

Seen her a little bit but that’s it

My guess is that Serena will come watch around the final matches while cheering for Ash then after the match, she congratulates him, but I wish the author would give scenes that focuses on ash's answer to Serena's feelings, it'd be fine for them to become bf and gf even if the author plans to have them travel in separate ways since they'll need to be in contact for every after few weeks or a once in a while visit.

Yeah I don't want Serena to only appear once. I'd like to have her be a recurring character just like how Shigeru(Gary) is now a recurring character. Make it so that if Koharu does end up doing contests frequently to have Serena appear. potentially with Haruka(May) showing up too. One fantasy I have is a day where Hikari(Dawn), Haruka(May) and Serena all participate in the same contest.

Yeah that would be great, and I hope their battle will be fire

10 months she kinda only saw him on the screen

I wonder if Trip will also return, he's with the Serperior in Unova region in case anyone forgot. I wanna see a rematch of Ash vs Trip since he also was a brutal opponent.

After using Kage Bunshin no Jutsu ,greninja using Talk no jutsu

Greninja be like: i don't need a trainer to order me around ,b!tch
I am god of this earth

Grininja Gekkouga is on whole another level, that speed and agility... damn....

An episode where the focus is 2 Pokémon fighters that got featured in Smash.

Hey Inceneror where are you

Get outa here with that weak shit lol

Lucario looks like he took a page from goku with the spirit bomb.

Notice how the Pikachu and Satoshi are doing the same pose, although there's only Lucario that's charging the attack.
That's some level of importance to details. (-O_O)*

Goku learned from Naruto

Let's all be Honest, 99% of us came to here to see Ash-Greninja again. What's worse, they showed a flashback and that was showed INCORRECTLY

The show Done incorrectly it took Goh’s Froakie evolving into Frogadier for Ash to remember Greninja

Paradoxe : They probably didn't have the rights to use Satoshi-Gekkouga. -__- Also, it's an episode meant to show how far Gekkouga has gone and how much Lucario can still grow. They sacrificed the fan-service for plot, don't complain too much.

Somehow, that didn't sound-

Paradoxe : Shut up.
