The snowbell arch happened because of Ash's insecurity towards Ash-greninja, a completely new form that made him feel what Greninja did and made him faint several times. This started in XY&Z23 after Ash's battle against Alan when he faints and has the dream about Greinnja leaving. This was further built on in XY&Z25 when he still didn't feel he had any control and fainted once again. XY&Z26 was the biggest built with his match against Shota. He has been overwhelmingly more powerful than Shota in previous battles but now Shota's anti Ash strategy worked great against Ash and he became anxious which is a would be a very natural reactions against this. Than in a desperate attempt to go into Ash-greninja he failed and lost for the first time, yet once again making his insecurity about Ash-greninja grow bigger together with the fact that he lost against Shota for the first time. This is what eventually would lead to what happened in the snowbell arch. Absolutely nothing was forced here and it had a great build up.
