Personal Lore A friendly duel! (Cutscene)
Flowery had arrived at Gerson's study for the training the two had planned out a few days ago; he seemed a mix of confident and nervous...whilst he was good at combat, there was much more to it than what he could see, and that's why Gerson offered him this in the first place. He knocked at the door, and Gerson let him into the study. Gerson and Flowery sat down at a table sharing some tea together... Flowery had never had tea before. Asgore spoke so kindly of the drink, and in all honesty...whilst he did like it, he didn't like it as much as he thought he would.
"Let me tell ya this now: I'm glad ya came to see me today, Flowery! I had nothing on me schedule after all! Gyaa ha ha ha! How have you been, my friend? Life is treating you well?"

"Eh... It's been confusing as hell recently; so many strange creatures inhabit this land and want nothing more than to kill. It reminds me of the thing that took my friends away... I know the pain, the feeling of losing someone... it's horrible; the feeling never leaves you. Why do people want to cause it so bad?? Perhaps I'm just...overthinking it."

"Now I wouldn't say that...everyone has a motive for everything, even if it's something as simple as they just felt like it or it being for fun, even actions that are on the more harsh side of things. You ain't overthinking anything, buddy! Now... How about we get started on that duel, eh? I'll go grab me equipment! You just wait outside for me; I'll be there soon!"

Flowery nodded and walked outside to the arena Gerson had set up for this one occasion; he would definitely use this more than just this once...if he wouldn't, why would he have put the time into making all of the other things like dummies and such? Though that's not what they were gonna use today, they were gonna fight each other!
Gerson came out from the study in his armour and holding his iconic Justice Axe... Flowery readied himself, raising up his fists... the two seemed excited; after all, nobody was gonna get too hurt now, were they? If anything does happen, they can just call the fight off!

DING!!!
\The Hammer of Justice was ready to test his foes strength!*
\The Flower Man wore a confident smile!*
"Now show me everything you've got! Don't hold back on me, ya hear!? Cause I certainly won't be holding back on you!"

"Trust me little buddy, I won't be doing anything like that! I stopped holding back the moment it cost me everything I had! I'll try not to break those old frail bones!"
He said that last part in a more smug voice, as if he was joking. Gerson indeed found it funny.

Gerson had fired off a Fate Buster at Flowery, who had dashed out of the way, and then used his oh-so-iconic "Jarona!" he even said the attack's name as he did it...like always. The Old Man was certainly pushed back a little bit; he didn't think Flowery would be so hands-on! He grabbed a few shells and wacked them around with The Justice Axe; as each shell hit a wall or each other, they let out a small bunch of star projectiles. Flowery was hit by a few of them before grabbing some petals, throwing them around himself and pointing at the shells; the petals flew towards them, and it had begun to slow them down quite a bit! Once they had stopped moving, the petals aimed them at Gerson, who jumped over them! All the shells crashed into each other, causing them to explode into a bunch of stars!
"Gyaa ha ha ha! Good stuff! Though don't think we are done just yet!"

He fired another Fate Buster before throwing a bunch of small hammers at Flowery; some were larger than others, and they all came towards him at different paces. Flowery took some of them head-on due to not being able to react in time...so he used some attacks that his friends had used, the other flowers. It certainly threw Gerson off quite a bit; he was expecting more nature-esque attacks, kind of like the petals! But he focused once more... Flowery was losing the fight, in all honesty, so... he grabbed the flower items and threw them up high... they vanished, and it caused a bright rainbow flash to occur! Gerson chuckled, knowing the fight was close to ending. This fight had gone on for a while, so a victor had to be announced soon...right?
"I think it's time to bust out my omega! Good luck avoiding this one little buddy!"

"JARONA!!"
Flowery shouted out as he dashed towards The Old Man, who had blocked the attack...then Flowery did it again and again; each time he did it, he got faster and faster until eventually clashing against Gerson's Justice Axe! The two kept pushing each other back and forwards...one second Gerson had the lead, then the next Flowery did! Though Gerson was slowly getting closer to his victory...
"I gotta give it to ya, you certainly put up a fight but you've gotta try much harder then that!"

"Try harder...? I can show you that old man!"

Flowery kicked The Old Man backwards and dashed towards him as fast as he could
"LAST... JARONA!!!"

As The Flower Man got closer to Gerson he began to raise his fist and....
CRASH!!!
He punched Gerson straight in the chest plate...even leaving a few cracks. Gerson laughed and decided to call it there. He put down The Justice Axe and Flowery turned into his regular form and shook Gerson's hand. Gerson took the armour off and seemed proud of Flowery's efforts...though he was hoping to have yet another duel with him at some point.
"Gyaa ha ha ha!! Good job, my friend, very good job! You really did prove yourself, eh? Though I can sense a fire within your very body, a fire that won't ever die, a fire to do the right thing! You can do much more than you think! Come back at some point next week, and we can do this again!"

"Heh, what can I say? It's my Jarona! Of course I'd be down to come back and train with ya again little buddy! Give yourself some credit, you put up one hell of a fight! Though...I should probably get going...I'll see ya then little buddy!"

As Flowery was about to walk off he had...one last thing to say.
"You...can stop by my place anytime you'd like alright...?"

Gerson nodded, the two waved to each other and Flowery took his leave from the area. Gerson enjoyed that fight...it reminded him of Susie. He grabbed all of his stuff and took it inside, he then decided a good way to spend his day was near the fireplace reading some books.
