Ash gave a wry smile, then looked at Greninja.
"Sorry, Greninja. This battle was lost because of my mistake."
Greninja raised his head and saw Ash holding out a hand to him.
Sunlight streamed in through the glass behind Ash.
At that moment, Ash seemed so dazzling to Greninja.
Greninja smiled and reached out to take Ash's hand.

Greninja smiled happily, and Ash grew excited as well. "Let's watch older brother Lu Ze's battle next and learn properly!"
"Greninja!"
Ash nodded in agreement, while Alain had already gotten ready.
"Mr. Lu Ze, I'm ready."
"Then let's begin."
As Lu Ze spoke, he headed out to the training field first.
After exchanging a look with Charizard, Alain followed behind Lu Ze.
Ash, Clemont, and the others also became excited and headed to the training field together.
Clemont was once again acting as the referee.
The rules were the same as Ash's battle with Alain just now: a one-on-one match, ending when either side's Pokémon lost the ability to battle.
"Charizard, I'm counting on you!"
"Go, Charizard!"
The Charizards behind Lu Ze and Alain stepped onto the field at the same time.
One was a black Charizard, while the other was orange-red, standing opposite each other.
After the two Charizards exchanged looks, confident smiles appeared on both their faces.
"Battle begin!"
As Clemont's voice fell, Lu Ze and Alain simultaneously pressed the Mega Evolution Key Stones on their wrists.
Two colorful lights flashed across the field, and moments later, two Mega Charizard X appeared at the same time.
Lu Ze's Charizard was Shiny, and after Mega Evolution, his body was a ghostly green.
Alain's Charizard was normally colored, becoming black
