After learning of how to use his Ocarina, Ash went on to begin his shield training.
Upon the arrival Griff & the London clan arrived to do the kanto native's training
While setting his armor on, Ash brought his shield from his back & held it with his right arm as well as kneeling down.
Griff smiled as he watches Ash defend himself while walking to him
I am impress of your defense with your shield, my friend. But your training has yet to begun. Griff said
I know Griff. I was just giving a try of how protect myself. That's all. Ash explained
I understand. But a warrior must be edge to defend himself. For example, I strike you down. Said Griff as he prepares to attack Ash with his sword
The kanto native quickly shielded himself as the weapon hitted the shield too hard.
Ash felt a lot of push from the attack but remains standing
Whoa! That was awesome! But also tough when I got pushed too far. Ash said with an excited expression
That is why my friend is how you must learn of how to defend yourself. No matter how hard your shield gets. Griff explained
Sure Griff. I'll remember that. Ash said
But should can I also use my shield to attack as well?
Of course my friend, but not only that your shield is no ordinary shield. It is a magical shield Griff explained & revealed
The kanto native showed a shocked expression
What!? Was all he asked
Do not worry my friend. In time you will understand better when you learn more about your shield.
Now are you ready to perform a shield attack my friend? Griff asked
Ash smiled while speaking
You bet!
