Summary
This Greninja is a Water/Dark-type Pokémon owned by Ash and is the first Pokémon he obtained in the Kalos region.

Greninja first appeared as a Froakie when he observed Pikachu shocking Bonnie, Clemont and Ash outside the Lumiose Gym. It followed the group to a nearby park, where it watched the trio talking from a tree. When the group were attacked by Team Rocket, Froakie protected Pikachu from its own Electro Ball, which had been rebounded by Wobbuffet's Mirror Coat. He then used the sticky bubbles on his back, called Frubbles, to hit Wobbuffet, and helped Ash defeat Team Rocket. After Team Rocket were sent blasting off, Froakie fainted and Ash took him to Professor Sycamore's lab.

Ash-Greninja's improvised moves (Anime only):

 * Double-Team Fuma Shuriken: A variation of Greninja's Water Fuma Shuriken. After absorbing the power of Greninja's Double-Team clones, it caused Greninja's Water Fuma to increase in size causing greater damage.
 * Massive Water Fuma Shuriken: Ash-Greninja let's the Water Fuma Shuriken hover above his head, charging it up and surrounding itself in a geyser of water until it becomes a much larger, colossal disc of blazing orange, before hurling it at the enemy and doing much, much greater damage. The most powerful version of the Water Fuma Shuriken.
