106. Flaming Sword Fight (Part 2)
Vitomir's Dojo
The heroes went to Master Vitomir's dojo.
Goh was angry about his defeat from Rio.
"Goh, are you okay?" Serena asked.
"I'm not!" Goh said.
The heroes went to Dojo Gardens where they see Vitomir and Tsuruhime engage in a sword fight.
"What are Master and Tsuruhime doing?" Ash asked.
"They are fighting each other." A ninja said.
"Seriously?!" Ash asked.
"What is the reason are they fighting each other?" Ben asked.
Vitomir holds his sword tightly and charges towards Tsuruhime and slashes her but, she dodged and hits him who dodged.
The two masters were circling each other before they charge towards each other and clashes their swords.
"Wow, their sword fighting is incredible." Serena said.
"They are truly skilled sword fighters." Gwen said.
Vitomir summons the brown earth Terrakion that circles Tsuruhime but, she summoned an icy Frosmoth that circles around Vitomir before they perform repeated slashing attacks and clashed but, none of them didn't get a scratch.
The heroes were awed to see Vitomir and Tsuruhime's sword fighting action.
"Awesome!" Kevin said.
"Oh, heroes, how are you? What's make you coming here?" Vitomir asked as he noticed the heroes.
The heroes explained about Goh's loss from Rio.
"Rio has defeated you, Goh?" Master Vitomir asked.
"Yeah, I wanted to become more stronger so I can defeat him!" Goh said.
"If you want to become strong then, will you destroy the 100 wooden dummies in one slash?" Vitomir asked.
Goh looked at the 100 dummies which he became surprised and felt impossible for him. "What?! One slash to destroy these many wooden dummies?!"
"Yes. You have to do that by yourself." Vitomir said.
"But master-" Goh said.
"No buts! Here take the sword. None of your friends shall help you. You should not rest unless you must destroy the 100 wooden dummies." Vitomir takes the sword, giving it to Goh then he and Tsuruhime goes to dojo.
"Aw man!" Goh said. "Guys?"
"Sorry, we can't help you." Ash said. "Just we will watch you."
"Okay!" Goh said and he starts practicing his skills.
Goh charges up the sword with fire and launches the flaming slash at the dummies but it faded away.
"What?!" Goh became awkward to see his attack just faded away.
"Don't worry. Try again." Ben said.
Goh tried 16 times to destroy the dummies but failed and it took half an hour. The heroes, except Chloe, were bored to see Goh launching many slashes before fading away and failed.
Goh's hands were burned due to the heat of the blade but he is not giving up.
Chloe felt awful about Goh. "Goh..."
Goh was filled with recklessness and determination on defeating Rio who hurt his pride and he screams angrily before he summons the red flaming dragon that circles around the 100 wooden dummies before he performs the repeatedly slashing attacks while bouncing off the dragon, causing the destruction of the 100 wooden dummies.
Chloe was in awe to see Goh learned a new attack.
Goh fainted as result of his burnt hands.
"Goh!" Chloe shouted.
The heroes woke up by Chloe's shout and they saw Goh fainted.
"Goh!" The heroes shouted.
"His hands are burnt!" Ash said.
In the bed, the ninjas used turmeric to apply on Goh's burnt hands.
Goh opened his eyes and he woke up. "Hey, where am I?"
Chloe rushed to hug Goh. "Goh, you are okay!"
"Chloe?" Goh asked and he sees his hands are applied with turmeric. "What's this?"
"The ninjas have applied the turmeric on your hands to heal your burned hands." Ben said.
"Why are my hands got burned?" Goh asked.
"Because you were using the flaming slashes all the time and finally, you have destroyed the dummies in one second." Ash said.
"Congratulations, Goh. You have learnt to do a Dragonic Slash." Master Vitomir said as he came in.
"Dragonic Slash?" Goh asked.
"Your determination of beating the rival has made unlocking the new attack." Master Vitomir said.
"Really? Alright! I shall go and defeat Rio for good!" Goh said.
"I have one question, Goh. Why are you so reckless?" Tsuruhime asked.
"Because I am concentrated towards beating that Daemon who is hurting my pride." Goh said.
"Hmm... Swordsmen consider the bravery as their strength not a pride. Remember, as a swordsman, you should know that you must be devoid of ego and pride." Master Vitomir said.
Goh remembers the same words told by his master, Shiba Rekka. "As a swordsman, you should know that you must be devoid of ego and pride otherwise you'll be weaker."
"Yes, I got it!" Goh said.
Infernua
In Infernua, Rio performed the same attack against the thousand dummies of wood, destroying them.
The Daemons applauded at Rio.
Then Wolzard came in.
"Master, look I have destroyed the 1000 dummies! I am the best and strongest swordsman in the whole Infernua." Rio said.
"Rio, as a swordsman, you should know that you must be devoid of ego and pride otherwise you'll be weaker." Wolzard said.
"I am not interested in your kind words." Rio said.
"Rio, you have to listen to me or else-!" Wolzard said.
"Leave me alone!" Rio said before he disappeared.
Wolzard sighed.
Vermilion City: Cerise Laboratory
At the evening, the heroes were going to Cerise Laboratory when Rio appeared before them.
"Rio!" Goh said.
"Oh, Burst Red. We meet again. Shall we begin the sword fight?" Rio asked.
"I accept!" Goh said. "I will defeat you! Just wait and watch!"
"In your dreams, Goh..." Rio sighed.
In the park, Goh and Rio were ready with their weapons.
The heroes sat on their seats and watching their fiery duel.
"Come on, Goh! I know you can do it!" Chloe said.
"Goh, all the best!" Bonnie cheered.
"Dedenne! (All the best!)" Dedenne cheered.
"Cinder! (Go, Goh!)" Cinderace said.
"Dri! (Beat that rogue!)" Drizzile said.
"Fly! (Go, Goh, go!)" Flygon cheered.
Then, the fight began
Goh and Rio clashed each other with their swords.
Goh and Rio running from place to place then they strike each other.
Then the two jumps in the air before Goh strikes Rio.
"Excellent! But will you dodge this?" Rio asked before he launches the ten hellfire slashes at Goh.
Goh destroys the attack with his fire slash.
"No way!" Dawn said.
"Goh countered Rio's move!" Ben said.
"I see you have enough training. Just watch, heroes, I will kill him with my same move!" Rio said and he summons the yellow flaming lion that circles Goh but, he destroyed it with his sword then he charges up with the red fire and summons the red flaming dragon that circles Rio before Goh slashes Rio rapidly, causing an explosion.
"Who has won now?" Ash asked.
As the smoke cleared, Goh is standing whereas Rio collapsed to the ground.
"Goh did it!" Ash said.
"Yay! Way to go, Goh!" Bonnie said.
"I can't believe Goh won!" Chloe said as she blushed at him.
"How?! You have defeated me with just your... strange power?!" Rio asked. "Where did you get that?!"
"With my determination and concentration, I have become stronger. Because of your pride and ego in your heart, you became weak although you have a strong attack." Goh said.
"What the? Where did you learn these words?" Rio asked.
"From my sword fighting mentor, Rekka!" Goh said. "Time to be toasted, Rio..."
Goh was about to launch the fiery slashes at Rio when he was hit by the purple flames.
"Goh!" Chloe shouted and she ran to Goh. "Are you alright?"
"Nice fighting skills, Burst Red." The voice said. "But that doesn't mean you kill my pupil."
"That's..." Goh said.
Then, Wolzard appeared.
"Wolzard!" Ash said.
"I am impressed that you've beaten Rio with your determination and concentration." Wolzard said and he performs a stance that charges his sword with purple fire. "Zise Huoyan Xuejian!"
Wolzard launches a purple flaming slash at the heroes, confusing them.
Goh saw Wolzard changed back to Rekka through the flames, who became shocked. "No way... Master?!"
"We will meet again, Goh Keegan." Rekka said before he disappeared with Rio.
The flames disappeared and the heroes came out.
"What was that?!" Ben asked.
"Nothing, Wolzard came and he took Rio away." Gwen said.
Goh was in thought about his master. "It can't be! My master Rekka is.. Wolzard?!"
Chloe said to Goh, "Goh, are you okay?"
Goh snapped out of his thought. "I am okay, Chloe."
Chloe smiled at Goh and he smiled at his childhood friend.
"Thank goodness that lion swordsman is gone." Kevin said. "How 'bout eating ice cream? I guess we watched the heated battle."
"Yeah, let's go!" Ash said.
The heroes went to the ice cream shop and they eat the ice cream.
Goh eats the ice cream, which the cream moustache stained above his lips. Chloe saw this and she laughed at Goh.
"Chloe, why are you laughing?" Goh asked.
"You look like a gentleman." Chloe laughed.
Goh saw a cream on Chloe's nose then he takes a cream and eats it. Then, he laughs at her.
"Why are you laughing at me?" Chloe asked, blushing.
"Your nose has stained with cream! HAHAHA!" Goh laughed and Chloe ran after Goh.
"Wait!" Chloe said and she chases Goh for pinching his nose and cheek with fun. Goh also pinched Chloe on nose and cheeks. The heroes laughed at Goh and Chloe having fun with each other.
Infernua
Rio was shocked to know that Wolzard was Goh's mentor.
"You... are Goh's master?!" Rio asked.
"Yes, he was my first student." Wolzard said, reverting back to Shiba Rekka.
"I thought I was the one who is your first pupil, master!" Rio said.
"It was I who gave Goh the lesson of sword fighting arts." Rekka said.
Then, Duvessa appeared.
"Oh, you are Goh's mentor, eh?! I won't let you betray our side, Rekka!" Duvessa said and he brainwashes Rekka with her purple fume emitted from her hand at him. "You will be the commander of the Daemon army, forever!"
"As you say." Rekka said before becoming Wolzard. "Next time, I vow that I will kill Goh with my bare hands!"
