Age 761 September, Goku’s House

  It was te in the afternoon when Gohan had finally finished his homework, he was next to his mom while his dad was to the side doing some thumb push-ups, Gohan was waiting for his mom to finish checking it so that he could go train with his dad.

  “Good job Gohan you got all the questions correct.” Chi-Chi said as he pced down the sheets of homework smiling at him.

  “That’s great Gohan you’re really smart son.” Goku said as ruffled Gohan’s hair while Gohan smiled happy with the attention he got. “Alright let’s go train Gohan.”

  “Wait, a minute Goku I made a little something for Gohan for his first day of training.” Chi-Chi said walking quickly to her room and came out with a long box wrapped in a bow. “Here you go Gohan open it.” Chi-Chi said as she handed him the box.

  Gohan took the box and pced it on the floor while he opened it quickly, inside was an orange gi that looked just like his dads but without the symbols on it, some blue wrist wraps, with a belt, and some boots like Goku’s. “Wow, Thank You Mommy!” Gohan said as quickly went to hug his mom.

  “Wow Chi-Chi that’s really nice, come on Gohan put it on.” Goku said smiling as he hugged Chi-Chi.

  Gohan quickly took off his clothes and tried to put on his new gi in such a rush that his foot got stuck and fell, but he quickly got back up. After he had put it on, he was ughing and jumping around shouting “Look Daddy we’re matching. Haha…haha…thank you mommy I love it.” Chi-Chi smiled at how happy her son looked while he was jumping around and punching and kicking the air trying to be like Goku.

  Chi-Chi held up a camara that she had set aside “Ok boys let me take a picture of my two handsome boys.”

  “Mommy I’m a martial artist now not a boy.” Gohan said

  “You two will always be my boys, ok Gohan.” Chi-Chi said looking at him.

  Goku smiled at Chi-Chi while he picked Gohan up and pced him on his shoulders for the picture.

  “Gohan listen, to me son ok, if you want to practice martial arts you have to be serious because if you aren’t you can get hurt ok.” Goku said seriously as he pced Gohan on the ground after the picture.

  “Ok daddy.” Gohan stood at attention while looking at his dad with what he thought was a serious face, but he couldn’t help having a big smile on his face. Goku couldn’t help but chuckle to himself.

  “Ok Gohan, we are going to start with some of the basics for the first couple of weeks and then we will move on from there ok.” Goku said as he headed outside.

  “Ok daddy what are we doing first.” Gohan nodded his head smiling brightly at his father.

  “First, we are going to do some running, then we are going to do some push ups and sit-ups to get your strength and stamina up and build some muscle. Then I am going to teach you how to throw proper punches and kicks. Once we get the basics down, I will teach you to cool stuff. If you need to take a break let me know Gohan ok, I promised your mom that I will not push you too hard and I don’t want to make her angry.” Goku said looking down at Gohan.

  “Ok Daddy.” Goku started jogging at a pace that Gohan could keep up with and they headed into the forest.

  “You two be careful ok, I’ll have dinner and some drinks ready for you when you get back.” Chi-Chi called out to them from the door.

  “Bye mommy.” Gohan said looking back smiling and waving at his mom.

  “You got it Chi-Chi.” Goku said waving back at her.

  --

  Gohan was covered and sweat and panting heavily, he had trouble keeping up with his dad, he had barely been able finish the run, he struggled with the push-ups even after the breaks his dad gave him, but he couldn’t finish the sit-ups he was too tired, but he didn’t want to give up, he didn’t want to his dad to stop training him if he saw that he couldn’t keep up with him.

  Goku noticed that Gohan was trying his hardest to keep up with him and was proud of his son for trying his best, but he remembered what he promised Chi-Chi, so he decided to let Gohan take a break. “Hey, son lets take a quick break ok.”

  “…pant…pant…no…daddy…. I…can…keep…going…” Gohan said as he struggled to do more sit-ups.

  “Son, it’s always smart to take breaks when working out or else all the work you do wont bear fruit.” Goku said he decided to use a different tactic to get Gohan to rest.

  “Pant…really…daddy…?” Gohan asked

  “Yeah, Gohan I take breaks too so how about we go to the ke and cool off ok and catch some fish for you mom to cook ok” Goku said as he walked to Gohan and held his hand out.

  “Pant…ok…daddy.” Gohan said as he stopped and grabbed Goku’s hand.

  Goku picked up Gohan and put him on his shoulders as they headed to the ke to cool off. Once they got to the ke, they took off their clothes and jumped in, Gohan looked at his father and then he spshed him with some water, surprising Goku as it hit his face. “Haha… oh you want to py son ok get ready.”

  Goku then spshed Gohan back as they pyed back and forth like this for while ughing. After they had calmed down Goku looked at Gohan, “I’m proud of you son, I know this was hard for you, but you didn’t give up. As long you keep this mind set in mind you can do anything, this will get easier as you keep practicing ok.”

  “Ok daddy.” Gohan was happy hearing how proud his dad was of him.

  ----

  Age 761 October,

  Gohan would train with his dad every day after finishing his homework sometimes his mom would join them, she said it was just to keep an eye on them, but she would join the training on some days. Weeks went by, and Gohan had made great progress he was able to complete the “warmup” as his dad called it without having to stop or take many breaks like before.

  One day after finishing his homework Goku talked to Gohan while Chi-Chi looked over his homework, “Ok son since you have been doing so well in your training I talked with your mom, and we agreed that it’s time for you to learn about Ki.”

  “What’s that daddy?” Gohan asked

  “Hmm, how do I expin it…Ki is a power inside all living things. When you can properly control it, you can do a lot of amazing things, like move faster, punch harder, take more damage, and deal more damage. It also allows you to do other cool things like fly and use bsts like my Kamehameha, but it can be hard to control so we need to be even more careful when training. As you get stronger your body can use more of it which allows you to get stronger by pushing pass your limits. It’s important to know how to properly control it or else things can go bad so that is what we are going to start with ok son.” Goku expined

  “Ok daddy, I think I understand.” Gohan said looking at his dad.

  Gohan understood a little bit of it, but he knew that his dad would help him get the hang of it no matter what, so he wasn’t to worry. Goku started teaching Gohan and Chi-Chi when she wanted to join about Ki and how to properly control it over the next couple of days.

  Gohan and Chi-Chi had gotten a better understanding of Ki; to the point that they were able to float off the ground for a little bit and could use small Ki bsts. One evening after training had ended and Gohan had gone to bed Goku received a call from Master Roshi telling him that he is having a small gathering tomorrow and that he and Chi-Chi should stop by Bulma, Krillin, Yamcha, Tien and Chiaotzu were also invited.

  ______

  (AN: I decided that Chi-Chi would keep training with Goku mostly off screen so that the story stays with Gohan, and I did a little jump in the story because I didn’t want to drag the training on for too long because I think that it will start to feel repetitive. I made Gohan able to get the hang of Ki control in just a few weeks because we can’t forget that he is smart and Goku is also a fighting genius so with those two working together Gohan would at least be able to get a basic understanding of it. I also think that Goku would hold back a little when training Gohan because, One Chi-Chi would be angry with him if he pushes Gohan too hard. Two he cares about Gohan, and in the back of his mind he knows that Gohan is still a little kid, a lot younger than him when he met Bulma in Age 749; different sources say Goku is around 12 when he meets Bulma so I think that will py a role in how he trains Gohan. {Three he won’t get any mouth present from Chi-Chi if he pushes him too hard.} Once we get to Piccolo training Gohan I will go into more detail because he won’t hold back on training Gohan like Goku did for reason we all know.)
