Pokémon the Series: XY| EP17 | A Rush Of Ninja Wisdom!

⁣During our heroes’ journey to Cyllage
City, Ash and Froakie meet a young ninja named Sanpei and his Frogadier.
Ash challenges them to a battle, and Frogadier defeats Froakie with an
impressive Quick Attack. Sanpei is about to take his leave when Ash asks
him for some special training. He’s never seen anything like
Frogadier’s Quick Attack, and he wants Sanpei to teach Froakie how it’s
done!

Sanpei agrees, and Froakie enters ninja training. Thanks to
Serena’s costume skills, Bonnie, Dedenne, and Pikachu get to play ninja
too! Sanpei takes Froakie through a series of exercises designed to
increase its speed, including chasing Frogadier as it jumps swiftly from
rock to rock, leaping through the trees at an incredible pace, even
moving its feet fast enough to run on water. As the drills conclude,
Froakie is finally ready to try its own Quick Attack.

Just then,
their training is interrupted by Jessie, James, and Meowth, who have
grand plans to nab Froakie and Frogadier and form their own ninja
Pokémon squad for Team Rocket. They manage to net Frogadier and Pikachu,
but Froakie is just too quick for them—so quick, in fact, that it
creates an illusion of being in many places at once. This unexpected
Double Team attack overwhelms the villains and sends them blasting off
again!

With all the Pokémon safely returned, Sanpei thanks our
heroes for saving Frogadier. Ash reminds him that without his generous
training regimen, Froakie wouldn’t have acquired the skills that allowed
it to rescue Frogadier. And so, saying their goodbyes, our heroes once
again hit the road for Cyllage City, site of Ash’s next Gym battle!
