Music 1
Ash is in the middle of an interesting challenge constructed by sycamore, but he lost to Sawyer, and he's trying to understand why.
Ash:Greninja, it's not your fault
Greninja turns away from Ash
Sycamore:EUREKA! I have got it! The formula behind your Z-I mean shuriken
Ash:Z? Is this connected to Zygarde?
Sycamore(smiling):Haha, no Ash, it's much different
Clemont:Wait, Z-But not Zygarde? You mean-Is this what I think it is-IS IT?
Sycamore:I think. So Ash, there is something called a Z-ring, that comes from far away in the Alola region. Z-rings allow Pokemon to use something called Z-moves. However, you can only use one per battle. Your Pokemon also has to have a Z-Crystal. But Greninja seems to have a Z-move, and you can use it freely. Once a battle, but still, you can control that shuriken.
Ash:So it was a Z-move? Cool! But how do I control it, and why did Greninja faint?
Sycamore:Well, to use the attack, take in energy. Think of all the times Greninja has helped you, and express your desire to win. If you trust Greninja and believe you can win,than unleash the energy and shout the name of the attack. "Synchro-Shuriken!".
Ash:Okay, but how come we take damage?
Sycamore:Well, the attack works like this. Greninja sucks in the energy of your opponent's most powerful attack. It was orange to match the Blast Burn, white to match the Hyper Beam, and green to match the Frenzy Plant. Greninja sucks in the energy, and takes the damage of that attack. Since its the energy of that attack, it does much more damage than getting hit by it would do. Then, Greninja amplifies that energy into the shuriken, changing it to the color. The power of the shuriken is multiplied by how much damage Greninja took, and then Greninja throws that powerful shuriken, still being water type.
Ash:So the grass type power of Frenzy Plant, after already facing Hyper Beam, was just too much?
Sycamore:Yes, exactly!
Ash:Well how about I test it out?
Music 2
Serena:Braixen! Flamethrower!
Flames shoot towards Greninja, not appearing to harm it
Ash:Heh, GRENINJA! SYNCHRO-SHURIKEN!
Green energy surrounds Ash, and a big Z glows above Greninja. Greninja is then swirling in an aquatic tornado, and orange particles come inside. Greninja then tosses the orange disc, and it instantly defeats Braixen
Sycamore:Braixen is unable to battle! Greninja wins!
Ash:Wow Greninja! you did good!
Greninja smiles and turns back to normal form.
Sycamore:Oh yeah, also, Greninja can only use Synchro Shuriken in Ash-Greninja form.
Ash:Okay, got it.
Sycamore:ready to come back to the mega challenge?
Ash:Yup!
Ash walks into the stadium and looks up
Alain is riding charizard down into the stadium
Ash:Heh, want a rematch? Greninja will prove that it can still win
Alain returns Charizard to it Pokeball to the surprise of Ash
Ash:WHAT!? What other mega Pokemon do you have?
Alain:That's what you think!
Throws pokeball
Ash:Metagross! Did you get a Metagrossite?
Alain:Yes! And Metagross is ready to fight!
Ash:Well, so is Greninja!
Greninja jumps onto the battlefield and immediately synchronises with Ash
Ash:You ready!?
Alain:Of course
Sycamore:LET THE BATTLE-BEGIN!
Music 3
Ash:NIGHT SLASH!
Alain:Respond to my heart! MEGA EVOLVE!
Metagross is enveloped in a bright light and becomes mega.
Greninja's hand turns black and rushes at Metagross with blinding speeds, slicing through its metallic defenses
Alain:Heh, show em what you've got! Agility!
Ash:RUN UP TO IT AND SLOW IT WITH WATER SHURIKEN!
Metagross spins its arms and dashes into Greninja, who puts out it shuriken and pushes on Metagross,who is struggling to break through the shield
Ash:USE MORE ENERGY! MAKE THE SHIELD-EVEN STRONGER!
Greninja strains itself a bit more and more water envelopes the shuriken
Alain:Metagross! Meteor mash through the shield!
Metagross's claws turn a metal texture and repeatedly pummel the shield, and water is slowly but surely pouring off of it.
Alain:Push harder!
Ash:We need a last resort! CHANGE TO OFFENSE MODE! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Greninja pushes more water onto the shuriken and starts to scream. Metagross then pushes forward with plenty of force and Greninja lifts to shuriken up. In the process, Metagross slams into Greninja, who is quickly sent flying back, and starts to fall but stabs the shuriken into the ground to hold up a bit
Ash:AHHHHHHH!(Feels Greninja's pain) ATTACK!
Ash thrusts his fists forward and Greninja picks up the shield charged shuriken, and throws it at Metagross. It goes flying by and slams into it, causing an explosion of water.
Alain:Metagross!... Agility!
Ash:NO!
Metagross speeds into Greninja, and since Greninja's shuriken was already tossed, it has no way to block it. Metagross is about to slam into Greninja-but then
Ash:JUMP OVER AND COME DOWN WITH AERIAL ACE!
Ash hops a bit and Greninja shoots upward, and kicks out his glowing white leg. He then points it downward and crashes into Metagross
Alain:Dodge with agility!
Ash:DOUBLE TEAM IN DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS!
Greninja multiplies and they dive with aerial ace, all in a circle around Metagross, then slam into it.
Alain:METAGROSS!
Metagross is severely hurt, but gives Alain a small nod.
Alain:Rock slide!
Rocks slide into the Greninja's and all the copies disappear, and the real one goes flying into the wall
Ash:AHHHHHH! CLIMB THE ROCKS AND SLASH THE END FOR A ROCK TORNADO!
Greninja jumps across the rolling rocks and reaches the top. Then he uses night slash in a circle, which makes the rocks shoot in all directions, smashing into Metagross
Alain:(breathes heavily) Fi-Fi-FINISH WITH METEOR MASH!
Metagross smashes into Greninja who flinches but appears to be not too harmed.
Ash:No-Let's finish it-It's time. SYNCHRO! SHUR-I-KENNNNNNNNNN!
A big glowing Z flashes above Greninja, as Ash glows green. Greninja spins a Water Shuriken in his hand and a tornado circles him. Shiny grey particles spin inside the Shuriken. Then a Shiny Grey Disc appears in Greninja's hands. He then tosses it and it explodes, creating a cloud of smoke. It then clears out to reveal a upside down, fainted Metagross
Sycamore:Metagross is down! Ash wins!
Alain:Wow, even with a new mega, Greninja won!
Ash:I'm going to complete this challenge! No matter who I must face!
Sycamore:Well-Then your next challenge will be quite the twist
Ash:Who is it?
Sycamore:Why, that would be-Votre sincèrement,Moi!
Ash:Wait-What!?-Well I'm up for the challenge!
Sycamore:Marvelous!
Ash is making it through Sycamores trials, but his next opponent is-Professor Sycamore!?
Authors note:I know Alain rematch seems forced, but I wanted to give the impression Alain wants to keep battling Ash because he has fun, and to balance how serious things have been.
