105. Flaming Sword Fight (Part 1)
Vermilion City: Cerise Park
In the Cerise Park, Goh was practicing with his Flaming Sword and he created some slashes at the dummy, incinerating it.
The heroes and their Pokémon applauded at Goh's talent.
"Whoa! Where did you learn this?" Ben asked.
"I learnt the sword fighting from my mentor Shiba Rekka, the sword master when I was seven." Goh said. "He taught me to learn these attacks. Thanks to that mentor who taught me how to use swords. When I have the Flaming Sword, it gave an interest of using swords."
"You are the best swordsman." Ash said.
"Yep, I am." Goh said with a proud voice.
"Yeah but, there are the swordsmen who are better than you." Gwen said.
"What?! I am the best swordsman in the world!" Goh said. "I am obsessed with the swords."
"Goh, shut that ego!" Chloe said.
"Nah, I am the best swordsman in the world!" Goh said and he left the Cerise Park with his Pokémon.
Chloe became annoyed with Goh. "That Goh is very impulsive! Hmph! I don't like his attitude!"
Infernua
In the Infernua, a lion based swordsman Daemon appeared before the court.
"Ah, Rio, the Swordsman of Hellfire." Armada said.
"My favourite student." Wolzard said.
"Master, I will show you the strength of hellfire swordsmanship to those weak, pathetic beings!" Rio said to Wolzard.
"Yes. Who's going to stop you?" Wolzard asked and Rio disappeared.
Vermilion City: Cerise Park
In Cerise Park, Chloe was annoyed by Goh's boastfulness.
Then, Ash arrived and he sat beside her.
"Chloe." Ash said.
"Ash, what is it?" Chloe asked.
"I see you're annoyed by my friend Goh." Ash said.
"Yeah, he's so annoying! I don't like his boastfulness and hyper attitude!" Chloe said and she turned around.
"Do you know why Goh is obsessed with swords?" Ash asked.
"No..." Chloe said. "What's the reason?"
"I don't know either." Ash said. "But y'know, this is what I think... When I was seven, I saw Goh is obsessed with swords but not good in sword fighting. He was novice in the swordsmanship kinda... But I watched him learning from Rekka."
"You know Rekka too?" Chloe asked.
"Yeah, do you know him?" Ash asked.
"No." Chloe said.
"That master taught Goh and he said to my friend, 'If you want to become the great swordsman, you must be devoid of ego and pride.'" Ash said. "When I asked Goh to teach me the sword fighting, he refused. Even the kids who wanted to learn from him, that Goh refused."
"I know he is boastful. I don't like him being egoistic." Chloe said.
"Although, in one day, he will become the swordsman without ego and pride." Ash said. "Yes, you like Goh, don't you?"
"Uh no! I just care about my friend." Chloe said.
"Why?" Ash asked.
"Because I admire him for his bravery and courage. I also admire him for his sword fighting skills." Chloe said. "I dislike him being ego and proud of himself."
"Don't worry, Goh will change his mind I hope so." Ash said.
"Yeah, me too." Chloe said.
Vermilion City: Roads
At the roads, Goh is being proud of himself as a swordsman.
"I am a strong swordsman in the world!" Goh said.
Then, Rio appeared and used the attacks the people.
"Uh oh, a Daemon!" Goh said. "Let's go!"
Goh rushes before gaining Burst Red form and wields Flame Sword then clashes with Rio.
"Who are you?" Rio asked.
"I am Goh Keegan!" Goh said. "Who are you then and what do you want?"
"I am Rio, the student of Hellfire Knight Wolzard." Rio introduced himself. "I want to use my hellfire sword fighting skills against the humans for my satisfaction."
"So, you're that purple knight's student, huh?" Goh said. "And don't attack the people for your satisfaction!"
Rio jumps back and launches the hellfire crescent slashes at Goh who strikes down to destroy the attacks.
"Oh wow, very nice sword fighting skills!" Rio applauded. "Where did you learn that?"
"Of course, I learnt these skills from my teacher Shiba Rekka." Goh said. "And I wanted to be the swordsman."
"Who is Shiba Rekka? I don't know what you're talking about?" Rio asked.
"Get ready to be toasted!" Goh strikes Rio but, he blocked then Rio creates a yellow flaming charge in his sword then launches ten hellfire slashes at Goh.
Goh tried to block from the attacks but, failed as the attack is effective that Goh was knocked out.
"How's that? What kind of swordsman are you, Goh? Being proud of yourself that weakens your strength and concentration of the swordsman." Rio said, provoking Goh.
"I am not proud of myself!" Goh said as he stood up. "I will show you the true swordsmanship!"
Then, the kids arrived in their Burst Warrior uniforms.
"Goh!" Ash said.
"Guys, stand back! I will fight Rio by myself!" Goh said.
"Goh, what's the matter?!" Serena asked.
"This is the fight between me and that Daemon!" Goh said. "Leave! I said leave! I don't want help from you!"
The heroes stepped back.
"Ah, you have refused your friends' offer." Rio said.
"This is why... I challenge you!" Goh said and he charges towards Rio while wielding Flaming Sword.
"Fool." Rio said and he summons the yellow flaming lion that circles Goh before he performing a series of repeated slashing attacks while bouncing off the lion, causing an explosion.
Goh's Flaming Sword is broken and the heroes were in shock.
"GOH!" Chloe shouted.
"Goh!" Ash shouted.
Goh was knocked and he was covered with blood.
Rio said, "You are the worst swordsman ever! Your pride has caused the downfall of the swordsman's title! You have refused your friends' offer. You are egoistic and prideful indeed."
Rio then disappeared that left Goh in disbelief.
"Am I the worst swordsman ever?" Goh asked.
Chloe came to Goh but, he refused her and screams in rage then punches the ground angrily.
The kids were worried about Goh.
"Poor Goh..." Ash murmured.
Infernua
In the Infernua, Emperor Armada was delighted to hear that Rio has defeated Goh.
"Wonderful, Rio, wonderful! You have hurt Goh's pride of a swordsman and you have defeated him." Emperor Armada said.
"Wait, what is his name?" Wolzard asked as he came in.
"Burst Red's real name is Goh Keegan." Rio said.
"Goh... Keegan?" Wolzard asked and he remembers his student: Goh, his very first human student since ten years ago.
Wolzard walks away.
'Wolzard, where are you going?" Rio asked.
"To my room." Wolzard left off to his room.
In the Wolzard sighed in relief and his armor disappeared, revealing to be Shiba Rekka.
"Goh... my favourite student in sword fighting." Rekka murmured and he missed him a lot.
