Biography

Greninja
Greninja is a bipedal, frog-like Pokémon. It is mostly dark blue with a yellow chest and abdomen, a white triangular marking over each eye, a light blue four-pointed star on each thigh, and yellow on the lower half of its face. It has red eyes with white pupils and its mouth is hidden behind a large, pink tongue that wraps around its neck and extends outward behind its head. Running down the middle of its head is a fin-like extension, and there is a similar fin on each side of its head. Light blue webbing connects its head fins. There is a large, white bubble-like bump on each elbow and knee. Its back feet have two toes, while its front feet have three toes. Each digit has a bulbous tip and yellow webbing.

Greninja can compress water into various weapons to slice up enemies, most commonly in the form of throwing stars that can split through metal. It has additionally been shown creating water katana and water kunai in both the animated series and the Super Smash Bros. video game series. An elusive Pokémon, Greninja's movements are swift, rapid, and graceful, akin to those of a ninja. It uses this speed to confound and toy with enemies while slicing them up with the sharpest Water Shurikens. It can also create shurikens from the mucus it excretes from its thighs for sharp projectiles that can cut steel cables. As seen in the animated series, Greninja's tongue is extremely long and many times its own height, and is strong enough to catch and hold a human. However, it usually keeps its tongue wrapped around its neck like a scarf. Doing so exposes its tongue to air movements, allowing Greninja to detect enemies it otherwise could not see.

Forms
Greninja has two alternate forms: Ash-Greninja and Mega Greninja.

As Ash-Greninja, its appearance has changed in order to more closely resemble [url=https://myanimelist.net/character/2473]Ash Ketchum[/url], specifically in his Pokémon the Series: XY outfit. Its skin is now a lighter shade of blue, and the yellow on its chest and abdomen has been reduced to a much smaller area. The fin-like extension on top of its head and the area between its eyes have turned red. The outer part of its side fins has turned black, as well as its cheeks, which now also puff out, resembling tufts of hair with a small, thunderbolt-shaped red streak. It now has a four-pointed star mark on its back where it creates a large Water Shuriken. Unlike regular Greninja, Ash-Greninja is most commonly seen standing up and is always male.

Through an occurrence called the Bond Phenomenon, brought on by the bonds between people and Pokémon, certain Greninja, such as Ash's Greninja in Pokémon the Series, can tap into a miraculous source of power in battles where they need to break their limits, something that has only occurred once several hundred years ago in recorded history. Ash-Greninja's legs have strengthened, greatly increasing its speed; it becomes difficult to see and can defeat opponents in a flash. As seen in the animated series, the large Water Shuriken on its back is the symbol of a perfect transformation; before this state is reached, Ash-Greninja is covered in a turbulent veil of water.

Mega Greninja
As Mega Greninja, its body is now mostly black, except for its lower legs, upper arms, and hands, which retain the same color, making it appear as though it is wearing a ninja outfit. The fins on either side of its head have extended outward and turned light blue, resembling shuriken with one edge much longer than the others. The four-pointed star marks it had on its thighs have been replaced by actual water shurikens. Mega Greninja clings upside down to a giant, floating, and continually spinning six-pointed water shuriken it created from a gelatinous membrane secreted from its body. The shuriken levitates due to its high spinning speed.

Mega Evolution has significantly enhanced Mega Greninja's reflexes; as a result, it has forgone stealth, showcasing the confidence it has on its capabilities. By intentionally revealing itself, it provokes opponents into attacking, and its sharp reflexes enable it to both react accordingly and strike first. The mere sight of Mega Greninja clinging to its giant water shuriken is able to distract opponents, allowing it to preemptively render them unable to attack by binding them with its long tongue. Once its opponents are immobilized, Mega Greninja charges at them to strike with its massive shuriken.

Evolution
Greninja evolves from Frogadier and is the final form of [url=https://myanimelist.net/character/291858]Froakie[/url].
