Chapter 2: The Boxin' Pumpkin

A nice, clear morning arose over Sugar Rush. In a Halloween themed house on a hill not far from town, a white boy was putting on his sweater and with him, carring bag full of boxing equipment. It was Gloyd. He was on his way to a boxing gym not far from the middle of town. It was under a building on a alley. Gloyd went down a few steps that led to the gym, and a matter of moments, he was in the underground gym. Then, the coach he was going to train with poped up in his sight.

"Hello there! Gloyd Orangeboar?" said the coach.

"Yes, I am Gloyd." replied Orangeboar.

"Okay. I'll teach you alot today. So let's get started." said the coach.

After that quick talk, Gloyd went into the locker and changing room to put on the necessary equipment needed for his first training. It took just a few minutes for him to change clothes. After the change, this was what he was wearing.

A white sleeveless shirt,

a white boxing wrap,

a colored short (primary color orange; stripes are yellow),

and a white boxing glove.

He then walked over to the punching bag, where there he was waiting further instructions from the coach.

"Alright, let's get started." said the coach.

"Let's begin with the basic. First, put yourself into fighting position. You put your right hand up here near your chin, and put you left hand down close to your belly." said the coach.

Gloyd then followed what the coach had said, and went into fighting stance. He got the hang of it, and memorized it in seconds.

"Now, use all that power inside of you, and punch the bag with one of your hands." said the coach.

"Okay." replied Gloyd.

Gloyd felt all that power within him, and with his right hand, punched the bag with a good and simple "THWACK!".

"Wow, you did good!" said the coach.

In response, Gloyd did more punches to the bag as hard as he could. He kept doing so for 30 more minutes. After that amount of time, he was sweating up like hell."You must have been punching the bag hard." said the coach. "How about a little break?"

"Yeah sure." replied Gloyd.

After a few minutes of breaks, Gloyd got back to training. Later, he was doing push,ups, shadowboxing, pad work, and more. Soon in a few days, he was known as 'The Boxin' Pumpkin' around town. But one person would defy that...

"I can beat this boy with no problem..."
