Kick saw that one of the bystanders of the fight had begun heckling him for the duel that he had declared to the bright red gyarados, but he was fine with that. They would soon know the true power of his strength and fast feet and Kick expected a boisterous scream of rage to agree to his terms and begin the fight. However, this dream of his didn't meet to his terms as the gyarados was in fact very nice. Kick was told they were supposed to be the most ferocious creatures of all time! He looked confused and started to stand up straight, getting out of his battle stance. He started to scratch his head trying to figure things out and angled his body so their faces would be meeting each other due to the huge size difference. "So, you won't fight me?" Kick sounded sad, his body slumped as his first true fight had ended as his opponent wouldn't even fight him. 

Kick continued to mope for a couple of seconds before a renewal of vigor surged through the boy, his eyes burning with a passion as inside his mind, his parents in his imagination was giving him the pep talk of his life! He looked at the gyarados with fire in his eyes and looked at Kamina directly in the eye. "If I can't fight you, then I must join you on this dangerous quest! I can't have my opponent going on some wild adventure while I'm training until you come back, it would be unequal training! I must fight you like we had just met! So what else but join you and your group and gain strength in an equal manner!" Kick nodded his head to his own plan and looked at everyone, "Allow me on this quest of yours. I have been training since I was a kid for a match like this and I can't have the universe short hand me. My skills are formidable and I swear on my ancestors that I will not hinder your journey."
