A/N :( Thank you for all the support you guys have shown. Constructive criticism is welcome while I will respond harshly to flames. Please review).
A little over two months had passed since the arrival of Ash Ketchum back in Pallet Town. These passing months had also seen the arrival of Gary Oak in Pallet as well.
Following the day of his arrival Ash had set a training regimen for both himself and his Pokemon which included various goals he had set to accomplish in a specific time frame. Many of Ash's Pokemon had learnt new moves with his partner Pikachu leading the way.
Pikachu had learnt the moves Thunder Wave and Electro Ball within the first month of training, followed by the re-mastering of Volt Tackle as well. Perhaps the longest new move that had taken for Pikachu to master was Light Screen which, Ash thought, would be pretty helpful in future battles.
Charizard was not far behind as he was eager to prove his strength and label of being the strongest of Ash's Pokemon. Within two months of intense training he had discerned how to use Thunder Punch, Dragon Claw which would specially be a devastating combo. He had also leant Dragon Pulse and the move Dragon Dance to add to his already huge plethora of Dragon type moves, but what was most certainly his biggest achievement came from one of his many battles against Infernape and Sceptile where he had conquered his strongest move: Blast Burn.
Sceptile was also keen not to fall behind Ash's powerhouse and had learnt how to use Detect as a way to dodge attacks while also learning a long range attack in the way of Dragon Pulse whilst also learning his strongest move: Frenzy Plant.
Infernape wasn't messing around either and did his best not to trail behind others. As a result of rigorous training he had leant Swords Dance which would be helpful in boosting his already amazing attacks stats to ridiculous levels while also learning another attack in the way of Blaze Kick. He had also learnt Sleep Talk by using a TM which Ash had bought for him.
Other Pokemon such as Buziel and Gible also put in work and during a particularly fierce battle both had evolved in their determination to become stronger. By evolving into Floatzel and Gabite respectively both had individually learnt new moves such as Hydro Pump and Aqua Tail for Floatzel whilst Gabite had learnt Dragon Rush and Dual Chop.
Snorlax, the biggest shock of them all, was also seen training diligently from time to time which had undoubtedly paved the way to him learning the moves Hammer Arm and more importantly Giga Impact.
Along with his Pokemon Ash had also started training with them in order to encourage and motivate them. Excluding training with his Pokemon, Ash had also started his own training regimen, most noticeably, waking up relatively early in the morning to run laps around Pallet Town.
His training regimen after a lot of tweaking had finally been set on upon fifty push-ups and fifty sit-ups along with cardio and a lot of weight lifting with yoga for half an hour to top it all off. This regimen was done twice a day one in the morning and once while with his Pokemon. Two months of this had started to give him the outline of a swimmer's body; lean and muscular but not overly so whilst the beginning of abs on his stomach were also starting to become visible.
This along with the yields from the intense training of his Pokemon led Ash to believe that everything was going rather well and he hoped this marked the start of a new era for him and his Pokemon.
