"Greninja?"
[What's going on? Dragonite's got Articuno pinned down and is plucking his feathers?]
[Damn it, how did I get left out?]
[Looks like I'd better step it up!]
Dragonite, who had been struggling just moments ago, suddenly turned the tables and subdued Articuno.
Greninja froze for a moment.
Had that old rascal been hiding his strength all along?
That was the question on the frog's mind.
What gives? We were both getting knocked around a second ago, and now you've made a comeback?
What are you, Koi Sister?
Annoyed, Greninja decided it was time to show what he could really do!
"Greninja!"
With a shout, Greninja unleashed Surf and Water Style: Great Waterfall Technique in quick succession!
The combination drove back Moltres, who had been wreaking havoc.
Then came Shadow Clone Technique!
There was no other reason for it.
He made the clones for one simple purpose: to stop Moltres from running around!
A wicked smile flickered across Greninja's face as every clone began forming a Spiral Water Shuriken.
He wasn't using the giant version this time. It cost too much stamina.
Greninja chose the weaker Spiral Water Shuriken so the clones could bombard Moltres, hold him back for a while, and buy time to strengthen himself.
"What's this?"
Moltres blasted apart their Spiral Water Shuriken with Flamethrower, but he was puzzled. Things weren't going quite as he'd expected.
Earlier, one Flamethrower had stopped every Giant Rasenshuriken the Greninja clones had thrown at him.
Now, though, the frogs seemed to have gotten smarter.
Instead of attacking together, they took turns stepping forward and hurling their Spiral Water Shuriken.
That made things difficult for Moltres.
He had to use Flamethrower again and again to cancel out their attacks.
Meanwhile, Greninja kept using Work Up to strengthen himself.
