Shippou he Ikari no Chosenjou [jap]
Shippo Receives an Angry Challenge [eng]
Un duello per Shippo [ita]
Summary
One day while walking through a meadow, an arrow is shot at Shippo from a
passing cloud. Attached to the arrow is a duel invitation telling Shippo to
fight Soten, the last remaining Thunder Brother (see episodes 9 and 10. Inuyasha
and the other see the invitation and they leave for the location specified in
the invitation, much to Shippo's dismay.
Meanwhile, Soten laughs menacingly as
he receive word from the cloud that the invitation has been sent. Back with
Inuyasha, a petrified Shippo's slow movements aggravate Inuyasha, who then
pushes Shippo towards the location with Tetsusaiga's sheath.Elsewhere, Soten,
who is revealed to be a little kid, tells the cloud, which turns out to be his
little pet dragon Koryu, his plans. His plans are very well researched and drawn
out on paper with crude charcoal drawings.
Koryu acts out the
first part of the plan by pushing a huge boulder at the group, thus separating
Shippo from the others. Koryu manages to capture Shippo in a net and whisks him
off to Soten's castle. Miroku and Sango take off after Shippo. However, with
help from some smoke, Koryu manages to get Kirara "drunk" causing her to lose
control and plummet to the ground. On the ground, Miroku and Sango see the
source of the smoke and realize that it was a trap. Koryu successfully traps the
pair in a hole, with some help from a life-size doll of damsel in distress (Miroku's
biggest weakness) over a pit. At the castle, Shippo is surprised (and relieved)
to see that Soten is just a child. When Shippo calls Souten out being a kid,
Souten just gets mad.
Shippo proves his point by distracting him with a toy of
his. This soon degrades to a war of drawings, as Souten and Shippo both flash
their drawings at each other. Back with Koryu, his trap for Kagome and Inuyasha
fails because his crudely made Kagome doll fails to "sit" Inuyasha. Inuyasha
grabs hold of Koryu and demands that he take them to Souten. He refuses and
tries to act all tough, which just aggravates Inuyasha. As a result, Inuyasha
bops him on the head three times. That soon proves to be a bad move and Koryu
transforms into a storm cloud and shoots lightning at Inuyasha and Kagome. 
Shippo and Soten are both exhausted from their doodle duel. Soten asks Shippo
why his drawings have such vibrant colors. He explains that its because of the
crayons Kagome gave him. Soten then tells Shippo that if he loses their duel, he
has to hand over the crayons. Shippo agrees, and the duel is moved out side.
Meanwhile, Cloud-Koryu sends a lightning arrow straight at Kagome. Inuyasha
throws himself the path of the arrow and gets impaled by it. Back with the duel,
Shippo and Soten throw their respective attacks at each other (Fox Fire and
Lightning). Back with Inuyasha, much to Kagome's relief, Inuyasha gets up
unscathed as the arrow is actually harmless.
To get Koryu to revert back to his
true form, Inuyasha just whacks him three times again. Now defenseless, Koryu
has no choice but to lead the two to Soten's castle. When the three arrive at
the scene of the duel, Shippo and Soten lie exhausted surrounded in seeds (Soten
chucked heaps of acron-looking seed things at Shippo) and mushrooms (Shippo
threw gobs of mushrooms at Soten). Inuyasha seems a little irritated to find out
that Soten is a little kid. Kagome finds it cute and runs up to Soten and starts
hugging the kid. When Kagome calls him a boy, she gets scolded by Souten, who is
actually a girl! Kagome finds it all the more cute, while Shippo just finds it
annoying. Shippo walks off and gives Soten his crayons. Later on, Inuyasha and
the others join back up with Miroku and Sango, who managed to get out of their
ditch. Later on, Soten draws a romanticized view of Shippo with her new crayons.
