Biscuit smiles at me "That's better you improved Wrath to a powerful level... Without any hiccups, I might even suggest you go with Killua and Gon next time. You might even give them a fighting chance."

I interject "I barely know the guy. What makes you think I have a fighting chance?"

Biscuit waves her hand "I think you have a better chance of defeating Knuckle, than those two... but Wrath has two obvious flaws. One, your body is not protected. So therefore, you have to throw your whole body into the fight. Two, it uses a significant amount of Nen to use. So when you activate it, you have to run in fast, throwing everything you've got to beat Knuckle."

I nod exclaiming "Osu!"

Biscuit smiles "On the last few days and you will be joining them, helping them both in whatever way you can."

I nod at Biscuit, grinning "Let's see how good this will be in a fight..."

Second last day

Biscuit smiles "Okay, that's three hours!"

Killua smiles "Oh? Already?"

Gon smiles "That seemed fast."

Biscuit interjects "Then I'll give you a thirty-minute break."

Killua points at me "How come he got to be lazy?"

I frown, reading slowly as I flip a page "Ask Biscuit!"

Biscuit responds "Because he is going to be your wild card for tonight, and tomorrow night."

Gon frowns "Oh... how so?"

I smile at Gon "Unlike you, they have no idea what my powers are, so that gives me a head start."

Gon looks at Biscuit "Shouldn't we fight Knuckle now then?"

Biscuit closes her magazine "You can go once you're rested. Defeat him. You have a little over a day before the chairman's deadline. This may be your first and last chance."

Time Skip

We meet Knuckle, surrounded by thirteen dogs that run away when they sense us coming.

We stand proudly, heading straight for Knuckle.

Knuckle stares us down "Seems you kids are serious tonight and where has mister lazy been?"

I smile "Well. Our trainer has kept me locked up till tonight. It's the first time I've gotten out of the house."

Knuckle grins as Gon steps up "Before we begin, I want to know where your partner is."

Knuckle looks confused "EH? You mean Shoot?"

Gon nods "Yeah."

Knuckle looks at Gon seriously "Why do you want to know that? You're about to get the crap knocked out of you."

Gon responds calmly "We need both tokens."

Knuckle laughs at Gon before responding "That's a riot! If you defeat me, I'll tell you."

Killua objects "We might not get a chance to ask you then. You might be out cold."

Knuckle cracks his knuckles "You're no longer amusing me..."

Gon gets serious for the fight as he activates his Ren.

They have a staring death match before Knuckle runs towards Gon.

Gon moves quickly, aiming to attack Knuckle in the back.

Before Gon could land a punch on Knuckle, he moves right behind him "There!"

Knuckle lands a punch on Gon, sending him sliding across the floor.

Killua freaks out, calling Gon's name.

Gon stands there as Knuckle taunts Gon "After another four five warm-up punches, I'll get serious... I warm up fast."

Knuckle rushes Gon, punching him hard.

As soon as he hits Gon, he rushes around to his back kicking him in the side.

Gon blocks the attack as Knuckle moves again, quickly around Gon's back "Behind you, fool!"

Killua flinches as Gon is sent flying across the field.

Gon gets up, breathing heavy from all the damage his sustained.

Knuckle grins "Hey, aren't you going to use that First comes rock thing? Well, you won't be able to use that technique. It's flawed, after all."

Killua mutters "It's flawed?"

I nod "Every ability has a flaw. However, Gon's is move noticeable..."

Knuckle continues "A word of advice... If you try that technique, I'll stop you in your tracks."

Knuckle makes his way over to Gon as he calls out "In a one-on-one match, you'd better not try it."

Knuckle stops two meters in front of Gon, lifting two fingers "Your technique has two huge weaknesses!"

Killua freaks at this information as Knuckle grins "So, Gon... What did you name that technique?"

I feel as though I've been hit with a shovel. I look towards Killua, muttering to him "You know... Gon has never really said the name of that technique..."

Gon responds "Ja-Janken!"

Killua retorts "Wow, Zero effort..."

I nod "Sounds... really original."

Knuckle grins "Jajanken... I understand. You combined Jajan for ta-dah, with Janken for your attack, rock-paper-scissors."

I frown "Were did he pull that out of..."

Gon responds shocked "Ah, no..."

Knuckle yells "Not a bad name, kid!"

Gon looks in complete shock, totally agreeing with Knuckle "Um, yeah. Guess I'm okay with that."

Killua and I tilt our head, retorting together "YOU ARE?"

Knuckle lifts two fingers "Gon, your Jajanken has two huge weaknesses. First, it takes too long to charge."

I nod "The obvious one..." I wonder what's the other one is...?

Knuckle continues to explain his reason "During a fight, you don't have time to stand still for several seconds. I wouldn't count on having the time to charge it."

Gon retorts "I know that."

Knuckle interjects loudly "Second, it's too risky. When you focus aura in your fist to increase power, you have less aura for defence. One attack to the wrong place will take you out, fool!"

Gon retorts "I know the risks. That's why I've spent the past month training to compensate for them!"

Gon kicks off, charging Knuckle. They exchange a flurry of blows until Knuckle lands a punch on Gon.

Gon charges again as Knuckle punches him, hitting him back.

Knuckle makes his way slowly to Gon.

Gon runs in circles around Knuckle.

Knuckle chases after Gon, running alongside him.

Gon throws a punch as Knuckle avoids the attack.

Knuckle feints an attack, uppercutting Gon in the jaw instead.

Knuckle makes a couple of more moves, before slamming his leg into Gon's side.

He moves quickly again, punching Gon in the side of the face then in the chest.

He lands another attack on Gon's jaw, then again on his chest, sending Gon skidding across the floor.

I make sure to keep my eyes on Knuckles attack patterns, finding a way I can abuse his weaknesses later.

Killua exclaims "Damn..."

Knuckle grins at Gon "Okay, then... Time to throw a real punch. Don't blame me if you die."

I grin, muttering under my breath "I found his weakness..."

Gon starts up his Jajanken "First comes rock..."

Knuckle boots Gon across the field. Gon lands on the floor as he slowly gets up, coughing a bit of blood.

Knuckle grins as he taunts Gon, making his way slowly towards him "I told you that you won't pull off that attack. Don't fool around with me!"

Gon retorts calmly "That was your full strength?"

Knuckle stops as Gon yells at him "WHICH ONE OF US IS FOOLING AROUND? It's supposed to be a serious fight! You should be fighting to Kill, Knuckle!"

Gon starts up his Jajanken "First comes rock..."

Knuckle stands there like a stunned melon.

Gon taunts Knuckle "Here I go! Rock..."

Knuckle swings at Gon, missing him. Gon swings around Knuckles back, exclaiming "Over here!"

Gon ducks his punch as he kicks his foot from underneath him.

Gon lands his first punch on Knuckle's cheek, starting up his Jajanken again.

Knuckle kicks Gon, ending his attack abruptly.

They both land on the floor, both getting up together again.

Gon quickly jumps up, taunting Knuckle "It's obvious that you're focused on stopping my special attack. Even I could tell exactly when your right arm was going to strike."

Killua smiles "His playing mind games."

I smile at Killua "That is where he needs to play his cards right..."

Killua nods as he speaks softly "Knuckle sees Gon's Jajanken as an easy pitch. He has to swing for it. It's a perfect pitch, right down the middle, that he has to send flying. That's the trigger. When you see the easy ball, you tense up. You can hit it. You have to. These thoughts make you use more strength than necessary."

I nod at Killua "The same can be said about their aura. If you don't control the flow about your aura, you will gather it in areas where your focusing. And just when you're about to swing that's when it shows the most."

Killua nods "If the Nen user is inexperienced or out of control, the aura will either stagnate or just flow too freely. The flow of the aura lets the opponent sense when an attack will come. By calling him out on being soft, Gon threw Knuckle off."

I grin "Making it that much easier to fake Knuckle out. Although..."

Killua continues off my statement "This tactic would be more effective on those who know Jajanken's strength. Opponents who have seen how strong the technique will be more scared and likely to lose control when they see it coming. The fake-out will be more believable, and if the enemy steps back, they're easier to hit with scissors or Paper."

Killua sighs "I always assumed Jajanken would be less useful once opponents figured out how it works. That it was flawed. But I was wrong. It can be adapted to any situation."

I nod "but there's the major flaw a technique that powerful, uses a hell of a lot of aura..."

Gon calls out "Okay, let's try this again."

Killua mutters out loud "Has Gon been thinking how to shore up his technique's weaknesses. No... He thought of the solution during this fight. He's making incredible progress while fighting."

I notice Gon's aura decreasing in volume.

Gon rushes Knuckle again as Knuckle yells "Bring it!"

They exchange a flurry of attacks. Gon misses Knuckle every attack as Knuckle lands a blow to Gon's chest.

They keep going, seeing Gon is get hit less often.

Killua grits his teeth "Knuckle definitely has superior physical strength. But Gon is adapting, little by little. By increasing the area his aura covers, he reduces the damage from miscalculations. And he's getting used to Knuckle's speed. Sudden punches almost never hit him anymore. But he's running out of time. He doesn't have much stamina left to maintain his aura."

I nod "Knuckle has been conserving his strength while using only physical blows."

Killua frowns "Gon has already activated Jajanken three times. They started fighting twenty minutes ago. If he uses Jajanken again, he'll only have a minute or two to fight at full strength."

Knuckle lands a punch on Gon. Gon blocks the attack, sent skidding across the floor.

Knuckle winds up his arm "Gon... You told me to use my full strength, but your no match for me right now. You're..."

Gon starts up his Jajanken as I respond "Is he crazy? What does he plan to hit from that far the invisible man?"

Gon chants "First comes rock..."

Killua goes into overdrive, trying to understand Gon's motives "Why? Knuckle's in good shape and alert, and he's attacking from that distance? He isn't going to hit Knuckle."

I look at Knuckle, seeing clear signs of fear. Not enough to make him run in terror. But, enough to keep him rooted to the spot.

Gon continues "Rock... Scissors... Paper!"

Gon holds out his hand, shooting a large wave of aura in the shape of a ball towards Knuckle.

The new attack catches me off guard, making me grin "Gon's been learning..."

As soon as Gon fires off his attack he runs with his attack, using it as a blind spot. Knuckle smacks off Gon's attack like its nothing as Gon swings around Knuckle in the confusion, starting up his next attack "Once again!"

Gon punches Knuckle in the back exclaiming "Rock!"

Knuckle screams as Gon falls on the floor.

I whisper to Killua "I think Knuckle is having a freak out..."

Knuckle looks around to face Gon, realising what has happened his ok.

Killua walks over, picking up Gon, slinging him over his shoulder.
