X refuses both of them as he does not want them to be constantly targeted and attacked by their enemies, Team Flare, due to them being on his team. Later, Y finds the Team Flare scientists Aliana and Mable attempting to steal X's Li'l Kanga. When Mable attempts to have her burn Y with its flames, Froakie saved Y with a wall of Frubbles.

Despite battling together, X still refused to let either Pokémon join him team. 
In Fast-Thinking Froakie, Y is revealed to have decided to add Froakie to her team after having been inspired by X. While doing some practice, an accident caused Y to fall to the ground, but she is saved by Froakie using his Frubbles to cushion the impact. As she thanks Froakie for saving her, Y decides to give it the nickname Croaky. Afterwards, Y decides to end her training for the day and goes in X's tent to change clothes in privacy.

One of the propeller blades broke off and hit Y in the head, causing her to be sent flying down towards . Her fall was broken once again by Croaky's Frubbles. As she traveled the route to try and get back to her friends, Y found Malva and Celosia talking about their next plan. Celosia, sensing Y's presence behind a boulder, used her to try and destroy the boulder, but Y and Croaky dodged in time.
Just as Celosia took another swing, Croaky evolved into a Frogadier, grabbed Y, and leaped high into the air. He then took a piece of the boulder that was knocked into the air, covered it in a Frubble, and tossed it at a group of wild , startling them into stampeding in front of Malva and Celosia. This convinced the two Team Flare members that there was not anyone else in the area. Afterward, Y began following Malva and Celosia to their next destination. Using his agility, Croaky stayed ahead of Y in the trees and alerted her when it was safe to move forward. With a trail of Frubbles he left behind, X and the others eventually managed to reach Y again.
In Malamar Traps, the group traveled to Pokémon Village to find Team Flare after they went into hiding. Upon arriving, the group was attacked by Xerosic, who used his to put everyone to sleep with . By evolving into a and blocking out the sound with his tongue, Croaky avoided falling asleep, allowing him to knock Malamar to the ground. When Malamar got back up, Croaky attempted to up his evasion while lowering Malamar's speed with , but due to a combination of and , Croaky's attempts backfired, leaving him open to be put to sleep by Hypnosis.
Later, Croaky was woken up by Y so that she, Trevor, Tierno, and Shauna could go on ahead to the Pokémon Village. With his , Y and the others were kept from Xerosic's view, allowing them to sneak by him completely undetected. When Trevor faced off against Bryony all by himself, Y lent Croaky to him so that he would stand a chance against the Team Flare scientist in battle. With Croaky's ninja skills, Trevor kept himself hidden from Bryony, allowing Croaky and to defeat Bryony and her .

	Description: Frubble (Japanese: ケロムース Keromousse) is a physical characteristic of Froakie and Frogadier. It reaches into the bubbles on its neck, pulling out handfuls of bubbles and throwing them at its opponents much like an actual attack. This is used usually to subdue the opponents and strike them while they are distracted. Croaky can also use the Frubbles to block an opponent's attacks, cushion an ally to save them from falling, make a body double of itself or others to lure an opponent into attacking, and create makeshift pieces of clothing. As a Frogadier, Croaky would put pebbles into his Frubbles to add weight behind them. Despite having no visible Frubbles on its body as a Greninja, Croaky retained the ability to use Frubbles after evolving into his final form.
