What'll it be, Greninja...?
[Greninja turns around and closes its eyes in a serious manner.]
[solemnly] I know. What happened before can never happen again.
[Greninja nods to Ash.]
Remember what Professor Sycamore said?
[A flashback of Greninja taking Pikachu's deflected Electro Ball to keep Pikachu healthy as a Froakie plays out, followed by the scene where Ash rushes to Sycamore's lab with it barely conscious in his arms.]
That maybe... it wasn't a coincidence that I met you way back when you were still a Froakie. I think that maybe, he was right. It wasn't a coincidence.
[Flashbacks of Froakie evolving into Frogadier and later defeating Anistar City Gym Leader Olympia play.]
That when you and I power up, it isn't an accident. Maybe your power was always meant for this moment.
[Flashbacks of Frogadier evolving into Greninja, battling Sawyer's Sceptile, and saving a Spewpa in the Winding Woods, followed by it and Ash shaking hands, play.]
Ninja.
Thanks. You always became stronger to help someone else. So now this time, you'll help Kalos and the world!
It's like something's telling you that what you need to do now is find all that negative energy! Don't worry! We'll always be connected, even we're not in the same place!
The truth is, we won't ever really be apart.
[concerned] Pikachu?
This is what you've gotta do!
[nodding its head in understanding, realizing the future of the world of Pokémon lies in its hands] Gren.
[It walks up to Ash and extends its arm out, then Ash and Greninja clasp hands and embrace.]
[emotionally] Oh, Greninja...
[emotionally] Greninja...
[Serena, Clemont and Bonnie watch on distraught as Greninja turns away from Ash and walks towards Squishy and Z2.]
[with tears in his eyes] That's right. This is how it has to be.
Greninja. [It extends its arm to Squishy.]
[telepathically] Thank you.
[to Ash] Ash, Greninja will be in my care.
Yeah! I'm counting on you, Squishy!
[concerned about the future of her and Squishy's friendship] Hey, Squishy...?
We probably won't see each other for a while, Bonnie...
[almost breaks down crying, but is suddenly cheerful through her tears] It's okay! I know that you've got a lot of important work to do! I'll always be cheering you on, you know?
I'll always be with you too, Bonnie.
I'll come and find you when I become a Trainer! We'll be together again, that's a promise!
[emotionally] Dedenne!
Yes, that's a promise!
[Dedenne and the rest of Ash's Pokémon express their farewells to Squishy, Z2, and, most importantly, Greninja]
Take care of yourself, Greninja!
You too, Squishy! Take care!!
[Greninja holds Squishy in its hand and looks back as it leaves Ash and his friends]
Greninja.
Greninja and Ash may be parting ways, but this also means the beginning of new encounters! In search of their own new encounters, our heroes will no doubt experience many new and exciting adventures, as the journey continues!
