>>28000968This is exactly the reason why he lost the leagie
How did he perfect the Greninja transformation? It was because of his strong feelings about saving the Spewpa
However, at the league he didn't fight for those who couldn't gain the 8 badges, he fought only for himself, unlike Alan who had a strong resolve thanks to Manon, as she's why he wants to become stronger.
On the Flare Arc we are probably gonna see how Ash's feeling about protecting his friends (or maybe even Serena alone) will be the trigger for Ash-Greninja going full power mode
Please understand that XY Ash is not perfect, and a depression doesn't automatically make someone GaryStu tier
