Gohan had decided to rest for a day after he had finally made it to the top. His father had mentioned it being extremely difficult as a young boy yet he had never had to climb it with only one arm to help him. The altitude was rather difficult to grow accustomed to as well. He knew from his studies as a younger man that the air grew thinner the farther the distance to the ground. He was already feeling slightly woozy from the journey from the bottom, yet it was no time for dilly-dallying.
The young half saiyan warrior prepared himself, facing down the slightly chubby cat man. Korin's requests for an explanation as to his injuries had been delayed by the request to be trained. Gohan stared down his old friend, or at least what was similar to his old friend. He dashed forward, hoping to surprise the cat with an explosive burst of speed, yet Korin had been at this far longer than the young saiyan. He may not have been as fast as Gohan, yet with his hundreds of years of practice, he could read the faster half saiyan's movements with ease.
Korin's image was the only thing that Gohan managed to capture, the actual cat man kicking off of his back as he laughed. Was the little creature just playing with him? The saiyan stared down the challenge, feeling no anger as he approached again, slowly this time. He began to after image around the area, barely letting his feet touch the ground before he was gone again. "Ready Korin?" He asked in an even voice, no hint of taunting or mockery in it.
The moment Korin nodded, Gohan was there, leaning into a snatch for the staff that held the jug of water. The crafty little cat jerked it away in the nick of time though, keeping the half saiyan's hand off of it. Gohan continued leaning though until he went up on one hand and spun in a circular kick that knocked the staff and jug away from Korin. The warrior flipped himself over on to his feet, his afterimage floating for a moment next to Korin's as they both went for the staff. The cat was there only a moment before Gohan, although the young half saiyan managed to get a hand upon the staff, holding it firmly as Korin attempted to dash away.
"Perhaps the climbing paid off?" Gohan said, a small smile managing to make its way on to his lips. He nodded to Korin, handing the cat back the staff that was nearly always in his hands. Gohan held the jug a small twinge of pride making its way into his heart. "I'll be strong enough." He said to himself, staring at the bottle for a moment. "Mind opening it for me?" He began to laugh, quite the spitting image of his father at that moment.
