67. Challenge of Tsuruhime
Kanto: Dojo
The heroes visits the dojo.
But then, they were stopped by a white female ninja.
"Who are you?!" Ash asked.
"Tell me, are you the Burst Warriors?" The white ninja asked as she took out the katana, intimidating at heroes.
The kids were ready to fight.
"Yeah, we are the Burst Warriors! What do you want?!" Ash said with dare and courage.
"Good, you weren't scared and, very courageous." The white ninja said, puts the katana on her back and takes out her mask, revealing to be a woman.
"Who is she?" Ben asked.
Then, Master Vitomir came in.
"Master Vitomir!" Serena said.
"Meet Tsuruhime, the mentor of the Burst Warriors." Vitomir introduced the white ninja.
"Mentor of the Burst Warriors?" Goh asked.
"Nice job for choosing those kids as the wielders of the Burst Hearts, Master Vitomir." Tsuruhime said.
"Now, why are you here?" Master Vitomir asked.
The kids explained to Vitomir and Tsuruhime about how Team Rocket and Chairman Rose had somehow obtained Burst Hearts.
"Hmm, so you've encountered some unforeseen circumstances." Master Vitomir said. "That could mean that the enemy is already making their move."
"Also, you didn't tell us about the other things that the Burst Heart could do, like track each other on maps, or create like duplicate Burst Hearts for one use!" Chloe said.
"Apologies, I didn't tell you everything because I intended for you to learn through your own experience, but it seems it can't be helped." Master Vitomir said. "Come to the arena. I'll explain everything."
Dojo: Arena
In the arena, the heroes, followed by Vitomir and Tsuruhime, has reached the arena.
The heroes saw Alain busy training with his sword and shield.
"Alain, what are you doing?" Ash asked.
"I was in training by Tsuruhime." Alain said.
"I brought you here to answer your question." Master Vitomir said.
"What we were asking you earlier?" Ash asked.
"Yes, the Burst Hearts can track each other and create proxies that are good for one use." Master Vitomir said. "And another thing, the Burst Heart remembers what Pokémon you've fused with and you can access the transformation again, without said Pokémon present, however, it won't be as powerful as when you actually combine with them."
"Also, you can use 'Capture' to scan and obtain the Burst Forms of Pokémon." Tsuruhime said.
"Whoa, that last part sounds really convenient." Clemont said.
"What now? I don't suppose you brought us here only to say that." Goh said.
"True, that other reason is that I wished to see how you were handling Burst." Tsuruhime replied. "I will challenge you to my trail!"
"Challenge? Awesome! Let's show for what we've got!" Ash said.
"Pikachu Burst! Cinderace Burst! Boltund Burst! Prinplup Burst! Delphox Burst! Quilladin Burst!" Ash, Goh, Chloe, Dawn, Serena and Clemont used Burst to transform into the Burst Forms of Pikachu, Cinderace, Boltund, Prinplup, Delphox and Quilladin.
"Wow, you've learned with an inch on second. I'm also coming!" Alain said and goes with the kids.
"Charizard Burst!" Alain uses Burst to transform into Charizard Burst Form.
"Round 1: Face the foes. Ninjas!" Tsuruhime said and the ninjas appeared to face the heroes.
"You Pokémon shall be the audience. Ben and the others, you should also be the audience." Master Vitomir said and the kids' Pokémon went with Ben 10 heroes, plus Bonnie, to the seat and watched the Burst Warriors in battle.
"Quick Attack!" Ash dashes the ninjas at high speed.
"Blaze Kick!" Goh kicks the ninjas with his fiery foot.
"Thunderbolt!" Chloe electrocutes the ninjas.
"Ice Beam!" Dawn freezes the ninjas with an icy beam from her mouth.
"Mystical Fire!" Serena creates the ring of fire in front of her then she launches a powerful stream of fire at the ninjas.
"Vine whip!" Clemont lashes the ninjas with vines sprouted from his shoulders.
"Steel Wing!" Alain flies in the air and his wings gets enveloped with white energy and strikes the ninjas.
"Nice combat! Now final and 2nd round is... Face me!" Tsuruhime said.
"Face you?!" Ash asked.
"Yes, face me without the use of Burst, Ash." Tsuruhime said.
"What is going on?" Ben asked.
Then, Aaron and the original Burst Warriors came in.
"In order to become worthy of being a Burst Warrior, the leader should face Tsuruhime, without Burst." Aaron said. "I faced her years ago, so I and my friends can obtain Burst Hearts."
"But now, they are having Burst Hearts and still-" Gwen said.
"If they have the Burst Hearts, Tsuruhime will award them something very special after Ash defeats her." Master Vitomir said.
"I accept..." Ash said and changes back to his normal form.
"Fight!" The ninja said.
Ash and Tsuruhime were in fighting stance and they are ready to fight.
Tsuruhime gives the punch to Ash but, he dodged.
Ash gives a swift kick to Tsuruhime but, she evaded.
"Wow, nice moves. Where did you learn that?" Tsuruhime asked.
"I and my friends learnt Kung Fu from Mimey, the Mr. Mime." Ash said and gives a karate kick.
Tsuruhime grabs his leg and kicks him before she creates the portal as Ash flew in and reappeared back before receiving a hit from Tsuruhime's punch.
"Oh no, Ash's getting beaten!" Kevin said.
"I have full confidence on Ash. He will beat Tsuruhime!" Serena said. "Ash, come on! I know you can do it!"
Ash was ready and he closes his eyes then stands peacefully.
"What is Ash doing? Whatever." Tsuruhime said and she runs to Ash for a hit.
Ash senses the Tsuruhime's essence and no sooner he opened his eyes than he delivers a punch and a swift kick, defeating her with ease.
"Wow, your senses are sharp, just like Lucario. Aaron used this technique to defeat me. You are worthy of being a Burst Warrior along with your friends." Tsuruhime said.
The heroes were rejoiced.
"Ash, did it!" Chloe said.
"Yahoo!" Bonnie said.
"Nice moves, kid." Kevin said.
Ash's Pokémon were happy to see their trainer defeating Tsuruhime.
"No way, he mimicked your technique!" Autumn said.
"Even though Ash didn't master it." Aaron said.
"Congratulations. You've completed my trial. I'm going to give you the rewards." Tsuruhime said and she emits the orange rays at the Burst Warriors, enveloping with orange light.
As the light cleared, the kids (minus Alain) each gained the coloured spandex suits, which is the base of their uniform and the shorts. They wore white clothe on their bodies and the girls gained the white skirts. The kids also wore the coloured gloves and boots and finally, they gained Burst Warriors symbol which is a hexagon with the cross swords on their left pecs.
Alain was different from the others: He gained a gold and navy spandex suit with breastplate having a Burst Warrior symbol on it, he has the black and gold cape, his legs and hands were armoured by the golden foot armour and arm armour.
The kids were in awe.
"Whoa, what is that?!" Ash asked in surprise.
"These are the traditional uniforms of the Burst Warriors. Aaron and the Burst Warriors wear these during the missions." Master Vitomir said. "You will gain access to weapons and amplifies your fighting skills. You can use Burst whatever you want."
"Sweet, I'm very pretty in this." Chloe said.
"Wow, so cute!" Serena said.
"Not bad at all." Alain said.
"Awesome!" Goh said.
"Now you guys look like the actual warriors." Ben said.
"You can change them with your command: 'Basuto Senshin Henge!'" Tsuruhime said. "To switch back to your normal form, just simply say: 'Henkei Shinai!'"
"Henkei Shinai!" The Burst Warriors changed back to their original forms.
"Ben, your skills in mastering the aliens is quite impeccable." Master Vitomir said, and then, he use the green DNA shaped beam at Omnitrix. "Here are five more aliens, you should have no problem handling them."
"Wow, more aliens!" Ben said.
"Very well, then. Now I believe it is time for you to return. I will see you next time." Master Vitomir said, and the heroes left dojo, not before saying goodbye to Master Vitomir, Tsuruhime and the original Burst Warriors.
