At risk of getting caught in history's mire

Well. It's happened.

It's taken most of the game, but I'm stuck. Radiant Historia has stumped me - sort of.

I'm at the point in the game where I need to beat the leader of the tournament in Cygnus. The fight itself will probably be a breeze. But mixing it up a little bit - the guy paralyzes Stocke with his chi before the fight.

Unsurprisingly, this leads to a loss. It seems to be a necessary loss, though, since the fighter boasts that there is only one other person who knows how to use chi in the same way, the person who taught him the technique. This fighter describes his teacher as a Gutral who was exiled for fighting him. At this point in the game, we only know one Gutral: Gafka.

In the Alternate History timeline, Stocke and co. are stalled again in Celestia. And who has them stalled, but Gafka, who refuses to bring Stocke and co. to his homeland of Forgia because he was exiled.

Currently in the midst of sidequests, I'm working my way to the point where Stocke meets Raul in Alistel and brings him back to Celestia. Gafka is a travelling companion at this point, and hopefully his teaching Stocke his chi technique will be like Kiel teaching him his sword dance: It will just happen as an extra event.

If such isn't the case, then I truly will be stuck. An experience not had in an RPG for some time.
