(Hmm...a bit of the story from the show in this one. But that was only coz I liked watching it and I didn't know what to write... Hey I bored! Besides I wanted 2 try typing out the story to see if I could get the same effect as watching the show!)
Chapter 22
Later, Hao went off somewhere, to get a manicure I think, and I had a little time to myself. I decided to go into a café to wallow in my misery.
Soon, Yoh's team joined me at my table.
"Why do you guys always follow me around?" I said, "You're putting yourselves in danger."
"Aw come on," Trey said, "Who could imagine Hao in a bar?"
"I guess not."
"Hey you know what? After reading that Tome, I'm virtually unbeatable."
"Oh please! My power is unparalleled by anyone!" Len said.
"What! I'll parallel your power anytime!" Ryo jumped in.
Lenny stood up. "What?"
"Stop it!" Anna interjected, "You're bragging like a bunch of children. Why don't you use your new level of power for something useful."
"Yeh," Yoh said, "Watch what I can do with my new level of power." Then he slurped a whole bunch of noodles in one go!
"I guess there wasn't an etiquette section in the Tome!" Anna said.
Then all of a sudden it started to get cold. Standing by our table was a shaman with yellow hair and two friends, a girl and a big looking guy. The yellow haired guy was Pino. The girl was Sara.
"You're interrupting," Lenny said, rather annoyed,"So go take a hike."
"Hey there!" Yoh said brightly, "You really know how to leave someone out in the cold!"
"Yeh well I've had just about enough of you guys bragging about how good you are just cause you read some book!" Pino said.
"Yeh well we are." Trey said.
"Yeh right. You're about as tough as the minushen Sara's guardian ghost had for breakfast!" Pino said and nudged his head behind him where Sara's guardian ghost which was kinda like big, scary blob of water had just burped.
"That's it!" Trey said getting up, "Those are fighting words!"
But as he got up, Pino sent as huge gust of ice cold wind at Trey through his hooked staff, sending him back. But Trey gripped onto the floor with his feet, using his arms as a shield.
"You think this is cold?" Trey said, " If you think this is cold you've never been to the north dude!"
"Well listen up 'dude'" Pino said, "We've trekked across Antarctic on foot, slept in ice caves for months at a time. Truth is, you're soft. You think you can become great just by reading some book. Only life can teach you that lesson."
Then the gust got even stronger. We could see Trey was struggling to fight back.
"Show him Badba! Show him what we can do!" Pino shouted and a black crow, his guardian ghost, appeared near the end of the staff where the wind was coming from.
Trey was swept against the wall by the force of the wind.
He clenched his teeth in pain.
"See what happened to your friend over there?" Pino said, "I trust I don't have to teach any of you other guys a lesson."
"No," Anna said, "Just Yoh over here."
"What?" Yoh said, "But Anna!"
Anna gave him a piercing look and he knew he lost.
"Look is this really necessary?" Yoh said standing up, "and besides, I was just about to get a burger and some fries!"
"You're just scared!" Pino said.
"Well maybe I am just a little." Yoh admitted.
"You're joking!" Lenny said.
"No. I'm not." Yoh said, "They're a lot bigger than us and also there's more of them."
"Well choose two other people and we'll make it a three-on-three match to be fair." Sara suggested.
"Never fear Master Yoh!" Ryo stood up, "I will fight by your side!"
"Ryo…" Yoh said despairingly.
Then the doors of the café opened and in came Faust holding Morty, "And I will make it three. Now lets take a walk shall we?" Faust smiled.
Yoh sighed, "I guess so."
Everyone gathered out side where it was getting dark.
Pino, Sara and the other guy on one side.
Yoh, Ryo and Faust on the other. Everyone else, including me, on the side, watching.
I can't be bothered to describe the match but to cut a long story short, Yoh kicked his butt and taught him a lesson. Simple!
Chapter 23 coming up!
