Then he used the Divine Turtle Shockwave again! But before he could unleash the move, Pikkon knocked him straight down. Son Goten slammed heavily into the arena, leaving a huge crater in its wake.
Son Goten leaped out of the crater, while Pikkon swooped down from above to attack him. Their attacks collided, but Son Goten was still no match for Pikkon.
Pikkon knocked him to the ground again! Son Goten had been driven to the edge of the ring. Just as Pikkon was about to deliver another heavy blow, Son Goten sprang forward with a backflip.
Both of them had already expended a tremendous amount of energy. Their fight was spectacular, and everyone was utterly stunned. Only Grand Kai was an exception; he found the battle incredibly entertaining!
Even the Kais were amazed. West Kai was especially furious. "Damn it, he was this close to winning!" King Kai, on the other hand, breathed a sigh of relief. They were all completely dumbfounded.
East Kai straightened his hat. "Amazing! No wonder those good-for-nothings from my East Galaxy couldn't even make it to the second round. It's no surprise! Even five hundred more years of training wouldn't be enough for them to fight people like these!"
Then he turned to Grand Kai. "Grand Kai, it looks like you've finally found a martial artist worthy of training directly under you."
Grand Kai took a puff of his cigarette. "Oh, right! I'd completely forgotten about that! Good grief, how could I have forgotten something like that?" Grand Kai watched the two evenly matched fighters in the ring.
Pikkon looked at Son Goten. "I-I never imagined you had this kind of power. You've exceeded my expectations."
"You're strong too. Whenever I fight someone powerful, I get so excited that I feel full of energy."
