It's Fight Night at Earth Rumble 6! The Gaang arrives in a new city looking to get schooled in rock kicking. Aang is not impressed with Master Yu's teaching at the local bender academy, so the team follows a lead to the Pro Earthbending Ring. The Boulder knocks out the likes of Big Bad Hippo and Fire Nation Man, but then gets pummeled by the reigning Champion—THE BLIND BANDIT! Aang knows Toph is the teacher he's been searching for, but her richy-rich parents, the Beifongs, ain't having it. Even after Toph puts the smack down on a whole band of Earthbending pros, her dad can't see she's a total rock prodigy. But now that her true prowess is out in the open, Toph's gonna follow those good vibrations and offer her tutelage to the twinkle-toed Avatar.
