The Fall Of Bonds

Chapter 1: Motive

"AHHHH!!!" Ash screamed as he fell to the ground.

"Ash, No!" Pikachu yelled as he ran up to his unconcious trainer.

"Ash, please your going to be fine! Just hang in there!" Greninja yelled as he carried Ash back to his tent.

Just another day of Ash and Greninja's bond phenomenon training results in Ash collapsing yet again...

A Few Hours Later:

"Yet, another day. Yet, another failure." Greninja sighed as he sat on a tree branch nearby the campsite and looked towards the nightsky.

"What should, I do? I wanted to be the stronger, but I can't let this happen to him any longer!" Greninja thought to himself. Realizing how he was going to solve this matter.

Suddenly a voice interfered his thoughts, "Then I guess you just have to leave to protect him then." A voice behind his head told him.

"W-What I can't do that! He's the best trainer I could've ask for, why would I abandon him?" Greninja replied.

"True, but didn't you want to do what's best for him? You said he was the best you could asked for, so why you don't want to do something to protect him! As long as he was concerned, you know...he always puts all of your welfare before him. Plus, do you even see him stop pushing himself? So why you can't do this for him!" The voice argued.

"There must be some other way, I couldn't just left him like that!" Greninja reasoned.

"Oh well, I guess while you were thinking, he may start to collapse more trying to train that bond of yours and it may be the last of him. If you wanted to do what's best for him, then take action now then!" The voice replied.

Greninja was deep in his thoughts, it's true if he took more time than this, Ash would be attempting to train their bond form even more, which can resulted in him collapsing even more. Who knows? Tomorrow's training maybe the last day he could handle it, he might collapse, never to wake up again or falling to his death. He knew if that happened, he couldn't live with the knowledge that it was his fault for causing his trainer's death. With all that in mind, Greninja stood up and lept towards Ash's tent.

Taking one last look at his trainer, who didn't knew that Greninja would be gone, long gone when he woke up. He felt his heart was twisted into one deep pain, sorrow and sadness all at the same time. However, he quickly shook it off, knowing and reminding himself that he was only doing what's best for his trainer, friend and the person who have given everything he had really longed for.

"Forgive me, Ash. I'm sorry." he whispered.

With that said, Greninja ran into the forest and continued to leap up to from branch to branch, one by one as he disappeared into the trees and the darkness of the night.
