The biggest threat the universe has ever faced had been defeated by the incredible work of Goku and Vegeta in finding a way to put the evil Majin Buu down for good. The nightmare was over and the planet together with all the humans was brought back to life by the Dragon Balls, so peace had returned once more.
At that point everyone is just living their lives as simple and plainly as possible, except the Saiyans of course, who would always be training hard, waiting for the next threat who was bound to come or just try to see how far they can go. Between the Humans, however, there was someone who planned to have his path back towards training once more.
It was not Krillin, for he went back to his lovely wife #18 and their daughter Marron and find him a house and job of his own. Neither was Tenshinhan, who instead made his own martial arts school and was going to teach his crane style to the next generation. That would only leave...Yamcha, ex-bandit of the desert, the ex-boyfriend of Bulma Briefs, pro-baseball player.
After the entire Buu incident, Yamcha felt ashamed of himself, seeing as he let the world-saving to the others, and he hid away, while children, who by the way were Vegeta and Goku kids went and fought against the Majin. All because he was nothing but a weakling. He stopped seriously training after the Cell Games, only training here and there to keep his body from falling, but would gradually get weaker and weaker compared to his peak.
After his little 'vacation' to the other world in which he spent training a little with Krillin and other martial artists, Yamcha realized how strong he still was, even after all the time he spent with no serious training and yeah he was dead, but somehow those last hours were so fun it reminded him of the good ol days in which Martial arts was all about training yourself, breaking limits, fighting someone strong and learn something out of it.
The former bandit made his decision after revival, determined to go back at training, feeling his soul and newfound determination to try again. Not to be the strongest in the universe or even try to surpass Goku and Vegeta...but he did it for himself!
*Outside Yamcha and Puar House*
"Yamcha-Sama are you ready?" Puar the blue floating cat asked.
"Yes I am, today starts my goal of getting my body back up to speed!" Yamcha said to his friend with a smile.
After his wishes from Shenlong, the scar-faced bandit could not wait any longer, he wanted to train once more, it had been a few weeks after Kid Buu defeat and even though the small amount of training on the other world had put his body a bit back into shape, it was nothing compared to his level back when the guy was in the Cell Games back in the day. So the latter decided to travel to the Bamboo forest close to East city, a little into the wild, but perfect for his Gravity chamber.
Getting out of the house and proceeding to fly at a slow speed so his friend could catch up, both of them feeling excited for the same reason, but with slight differences. After some time flying, the two of them landed on the forest in a part in which the floor was quite covered in the grass instead of dirt and rocks, space seemed to be quite good and the trees were not getting in the way, truly a perfect spot.
"This reminds me of the days I used to train in the forest beside the wild animals"
Yamcha had fond memories of those days, learning how every animal in the forests moved around, from the great speed of rabbits to the tenacity of a pack of wolves. He learned quite a bit about how to sneak up on a deer and Boars, by watching the predators hunt.
"Alright! I'm pumped"
Taking one capsule from his pocket and throwing it out in the open, a big cloud of smoke comes out filling the surroundings before it dissipated showing off the Capsule corp Gravity chamber.
"Puar I am gonna need you to stay outside and warn me in case anyone shows up close to my area or wild animals, after all, I don't think you can handle the gravity I am going to use," Yamcha told his companion.
Puar nodded in agreement with Yamcha's statement. "Yeah, your right about that... be careful while your in there Yamcha."
Yamcha smiled at his oldest friend's worried tone, truly grateful that Puar cared for his safety. "I'll be fine."
With a nod of his head, the shapeshifter animal waits outside while his long time friend takes a few steps inside the Chamber. Once there he takes a look around, it looks just like the one Bulma made but this one had the special feature of self-repairing, so there was no need to worry about destroying something and try to fix it. A sudden memory comes back to his head, the day when the fighter tried to see how he fared against Vegeta Gravity training, but he was not used to it and almost turn to mush.
'I did resist it quite a bit... I am more resilient then I let myself believe. But I promise I won't let cockyness be my downfall again' Yamcha thought with conviction, more to himself than anything else.
Taking another capsule the former bandit throws it to reveal an orange gi martial arts vest, the old one that he uses to wear.
"Weighted clothing, man this brings me back, if remember correctly this is two hundred fifty pounds heavy. I think I am going to wear it and warm up before turning the gravity on''
With that said the former bandit changes his clothing for the weighted one, feeling now heavier and remembering the time he used to train under Master Roshi. Now with no more goofing around, he started to do a series of bodily motions to stretch out the rust and get the blood flowing all over his body, and to make it more fluid when he begins to train seriously.
After a few minutes of warming up by doing all kinds of a backflip, jumping around and somersault, Yamcha went over to the gravity chamber console controls, and input the amount of Gravity he wanted.
"Let's try out 10G for now"
From that moment the entire room hummed as Yamcha began to feel gravity increase all around him.
"Ohhh, now this is where we start," He said with a smirk on his face.
Everyone, no matter how strong, they need to keep their skills sharp, training is the source of power and it will never betray you. So no matter how simple his way is, it was the start of a journey that mattered the most.
The start had him doing a sequence of different arm strengthening training, such as the normal push up, diamond push up, wide push up, close push up and dive bomber push up. Yamcha would do Fifty reps of each one while under ten times gravity upon his body weight and the 250 pounds of extra.
After all, every exercise started with a good push up. They increase functional Strength via Full Body Activation, Major muscle groups such as biceps, core muscles, triceps, anterior deltoids, and lower body muscle would be activated and help out and stretching the back as well. That was a good start, working out is also a great moment of enjoyment for a martial artist, and liking every moment of it is healthy.
When He's done finishing up his push-ups, Yamcha gets a good feel on his arms, thinking on what to do next, he decided to move on to planking. It may look simple but it actually helps with all the core muscles; including the rectus abdominis, transverse abdominis, internal and external obliques, hips, and back. It's effective because it works a lot of muscles all at once, also staying still like that for so long with the heaviness right now?
Time passes by and sweat started to pour from his forehead "Hmm...maybe I should try to see if I can remain like this for one whole hour''
The former martial artist wanted to test how long his current body could take in that exercise before wanting to stop. Let's just say the next hour Yamcha's felt his body was warming up pretty fast, sweat puddled all around his arms, legs, and whatnot, it felt like the floor was getting hotter, and he was breathing a bit heavier.
Staying still for sixty minutes on that plank pose was harder than anticipated, but all the sweat he poured was a sign of hard work and so he smiled getting right back up, moving his arms and legs with some quick jumping.
Groans in relief "Man this sure makes me feel that I'm quite rusty" Yamcha said thinking on what to do next "Hmm...should I increase the gravity a bit more and try to push through it?" He smirked over the thought.
But then the smile vanished when he remembers the incident with Vegeta gravity chamber by acting so cocky "Hmmmm...maybe a should play it safe for now anyways." Yamcha thought while he walked over to where the fridge was to grab a bottle of water.
After gulping down the tasteless liquid that was also the source of life for the guy right now, Yamcha rested for just one minute before quickly going back into his training, not wanting his muscles to lose the heat and tension. Before he could realize it, the former bandit already got used to ten times gravity, the time has passed quickly and it was already in the afternoon.
"Even though I am not as young as before, I feel like I can keep up just as much. Tomorrow I will increase the gravity five more times" He said.
With the routine done for now the scar-faced fighter turn down the machine making the gravity go back to normal and feeling the slight relief of his body getting less the routine done for now the scar-faced fighter turn down the machine making the gravity go back to normal and feeling the slight relief of his body getting less strain, taking a deep breath in filling his lungs, then exhaling back.
"Man...it feels so good to train like this again, I want to train more and harder but I have to be careful to not harm myself," He said to no one but himself.
After his training was done for now the guy came out and greets his blue fur friend.
"Oh, Yamcha-Sama are you done for today?" The cute cat looks to him.
"I was testing to see my body situation and even though I am not rusty to the point I am awfully tired with what I did so far I am feeling confident I can get back up quickly," He said smiling.
"Really? That's fantastic news Yamcha!" Puar said to his long time friend, glad that he still has the spark to get stronger.
With that said the chamber quickly deactivated and back into their capsule form, the two friends decided to go back home and take a shower, and after that a few snacks. Day after day it was nothing but training for the black-haired man, no one was keeping track of the calendar but, hour after hour ended up turning into weeks worth of hard work under the heavy gravity in which Yamcha would always increase when his body was getting used to it.
Soon enough, after a certain amount of time has passed, Yamcha's body began to change with all the hard work, what once was a body of a pro-baseball player turned into a ripped, well-defined body of a martial arts warrior just like its suppose to be, but not so buff that his shoulder was bigger than his head, let's not forget he is not a muscle brain.
Right now he was doing one hundred crunches on the floor while the gravity was in 40G already, sweat dripped from his forehead just as much as the rest of his body, working on his rectus abdominis muscle working on his abs. Not just the normal variation of crunches but others as well such as reverse crunches, etc.
Every time he made the gravity higher it would make even a simple exercise into something harder; There was a thick metal rod on a part of the chamber in which after the crunches the guy would do two hundred pull-ups, clenching his abs and started pulling himself up until his chest is touching the bar lightly and then raise himself higher so his chin is above the bar. First, he did it as fast as possible and try to set a record, then later he did it again...but slowly in which seemed to prove harder.
Sweat dripped from his body to the ground making a small puddle below his feet, that was already normal, his body would sweat so much it was like he would become dehydrated. Yamcha's body was begging him to give it a break already, but he pushed through the pain to finish his last rep on the bar.
After the guy was done with pull-ups, he moved on to Squats, working his quadriceps, hamstrings, and glutes. He worked them until his legs felt like they were on fire, hitting a 12,000 squat under that gravity.
'Ugh...I-It hurts, should I just stop? N-no! Just because it's getting hard and painful to keep going, this is where we are supposed to keep going forward, that's how you break your limit'
Gritting his teeth the man decides to shut the hell up and do forty reps of one-legged squat for each leg before taking a break from the training and pray to kami he didn't end up breaking his leg by overtraining.
But a true warrior does not blame his training; His abdomen muscles were like granite, hard and durable, forearms and fists thick and strong like logs; legs with enough strength to serve as enough force to jump high enough to hit the clouds without flying.
The training was going well, but every time he trained harder than the previous day, it was more strain on his body, it was only a matter of time before he got so sore even moving a little would be annoying, but slowing down his training was a nope! Thinking for a moment he comes with the idea of asking korin for a few senzu beans. Sure they took a good time to grow but the earth was in good shape and peace right now, besides maybe he can do some training climbing the tower a few times.
So, After Finishing his hardcore leg work for the day the Former bandit decided to give his legs a rest for now, so turning off the gravity and putting everything in capsule storage. Now that he thought about it, maybe spending some time in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber would do him some good. That's a year of training in one day because at the moment it's going to take him some time to get stronger, so why not use it!
'I should probably go there once I can reach Gravity times one hundred, that place is not for everyone if you can't keep up'
With that said and done, it was time to fly towards Korin tower. Puar wanted to come as well so the little cat was holding out on Yamcha neck and some of his gi.
"Hold tight''
Powering up he flies like a sonic boom decided to arrive there as fast as possible. Maybe he was a bit excited to try out more training methods, it felt like he was just starting again, that feeling of fulfillment to improve oneself, a new height of power than the previous you.
With his speed, it didn't take that long for him to arrive, not like it would take a long time before his training, but his body felt lighter and stronger so maybe it was just that it felt better to fly like a free bird. The lush forests and the tower itself surrounded by green could be seen, landing on the ground with a soft thud he did, Puar was a bit dizzy but nothing too much.
"Man I remember the first time I climbed this, I wonder how long it would take for me to climb it now with my bare hands"
Positioning his arms and legs to hold on to the construction from ancient times Yamcha looks at this friend.
"Feel free to fly and try to keep up with me Puar" He said looking back.
"Yes Yamcha-sama I will try my best"
The scar-faced martial arts then begins to climb up the tower at amazing speed, faster than anyone ever climbed before. He felt light and the higher it gets the air gets denser, but it was like the fighter was still on the floor, after all this is naught but a little warm up after the body cooled down.
It took Yamcha less than you think to get to the top of korin tower, the climb up hardly warmed up his body.
'Hmmm should I do that again, but this time use only my arms to climb. Maybe more weight' Yamcha thought, that was until he spotted the white fur cat looking at him.
"Well, what do we have here?" Korin said rubbing his ear.
"Oh! Good evening Master Korin" Yamcha did a formal bow to the cat god.
"No need to be so formal boy, instead why don't you tell me the reason behind your visit?"
"Well you see Master Korin,i am training again to regain my peak and i was thinking if by any chance I could spare me a few senzu beans?" He smiled awkwardly.
"Is that so? Hmm..." The cat rubs his feline mustache in thought "Sure, even if climbing this tower is child play for you, those who climb it can have it"
The cat god then brings a small bag with a few senzu beans filling it.
"Just try not to ask for more, they take time to grow and you never know when it's gonna be needed" Korin licked his paw letting some cat instinct out.
"Alright! Thank you very much, I won't waste them" Yamcha said.
"Are you going to go now?"
"Hmmm...Maybe later I will try climbing this a few more times, try to make it harder"
"Ah, I see. Knock yourself out." Korin said to Yamcha, who then decided to give him some pointers into making the climb up and down a bit harder.
With senzu beans acquired and one hundred reps climbing the tower, Yamcha could go back to training hard just like he wanted with a bit less of worry about doing it too much now that he had a few beans. Every day, all he had time for was for the gravity chamber, the former bandit wanted his body to get used to the gravity no matter what.
So onto the next training day, The man is doing three sets of push-ups with one thousand reps under 45G Gravity first to serve as the warm-up the start, then when done he reached out for the same number of reps and sets while doing Dips on the installed equipment just next to the pull-ups bar, his favorite training was not those who would give him more muscle mass but resistance, durability, and stamina ...But that didn't mean the former bandit had no use for a few weights later on.
Yamcha was sweating, his muscles warming up by the feeling of fire coming from his spirit! That meant that his body was taking the strain and that after cooling off and healing up, he would be more resilient than before. He kept at it until he finished his reps. Once he was done, the former bandit of the desert lands rose and huffed a bit as he got used to the gravity.
He said "Hanh...not too bad under 45 times gravity. But still, a lot to do. Let me see...a thousand sit-ups, then after that a light workout to test my agility. It's one thing to be stronger, tougher, and faster. But I also need agility so that I can dodge attacks but without wasting too much movement and energy."
He sat on the floor and started to do his sit-ups, crunching his center while going up and down. As he continued to train, his mind wandered back to the past. Back to the early days of his youth & the formation of the Z-Fighters back when Piccolo was still a threat, followed by the arrival of Vegeta and Nappa.
He thought, 'We discovered and used so many techniques back then... even made moves of our own. I wonder...if it would be possible to utilize them again, but in a way that is more effective for the enemies that keep seeming to crop up on Earth.'
He remembered the "Four Arms" technique, where Tienshinan formed an extra set of arms in his first match against Goku in the Martial arts tournament. Tien had used the arms effectively against Goku until the small Saiyan had used his tail to escape a hold and put Tien on the defensive until he was forced to call the arms back into him.
He said to himself, 'That technique looks like it drained some physical and mental stamina from Tien to maintain it. Perhaps there is a way for me to learn it, and find out how to minimize its negative effects?'
Yamcha had learned the hard way that moves always had a pro and a con and saw that even Goku knew the lesson well. The Saiyan always analyzed his techniques and attacks, studying both strengths and weaknesses. So now Yamcha was taking a page from him; looking over his techniques, both the upside and the downside of them.
As he was halfway through his sit-ups, he remembered the "Solar Flare" technique, his own "Spirit Ball" that he used against Kami disguised as Shen & the Saibaman that Nappa planted on Earth, the "KaioKen" technique that was so proud before learning Super Saiyan.
"Even though I have seen most of the techniques, I need to learn how to use them in a way that is my own & will make me more formidable against the big league fighters.".
He remembered his training with King Kai, and also when the strange deity told them about the "Spirit Bomb" that he taught Goku. Yamcha thought, 'Maybe there is a way to use the technique that he taught Goku to enhance my Spirit Ball. Not to be exactly like a Spirit Bomb itself, but something more potent and useful than my current Spirit Ball'
Once he reps were done, he looked at his body and how his training was coming along, He could have used the Senzu Beans to make the fatigue go away after harder training was done, but he didn't want to waste them so he merely went over to the Control Panel and turned the gravity setting off. The room went white once more, indicating that the machine was off and everything was back to normal Earth gravity.
Yamcha sighed and said, "I can train my body all I want. But I think I need to start focusing on my ki techniques, and also to see how I can understand the techniques of the others to see if I can make them my own. I wish...".
Once he said that he then realized what he needed to do. He smirked and said "Looks like it's time to put that thing to work"
The former bandit then whistles getting his blue flying cat attention to his long time friend.
"Yes Yamcha-Sama" Puar said
"Puar it's time for me to take a look at that item, and now that the gravity is off I would like if you stay with me to look too," He said
"Do you think I can be of help?" The animal asked curiously
"Of course! A different line of thought it's what I need too"
Yamcha's first wish was for the gravity chamber with repairing features, but his second wish was a bit more interesting than the previous one. Being one who seems many different techniques back when he was still a novice and even today, the guy felt really interested about the possibility of learning something different, just like Goku who seem to copy other techniques...after all Master Roshi used to be the only one who knew the Kamehameha but now? Everyone who does he can count on his fingers.
But that is kicking around the bush, what the former desert bandit wished for...was a book...a magical book who stored every single skill of martial arts or technique that needed ki control that the Planet earth had seen. It worked in a manner that if said technique was used on the planet like let's say *ahem* Kaio ken as Goku did, then the book would magically get information about said skills, showing its pros and cons, and how to learn it. But no matter how eager Yamcha was, you out to look for the ones that he wants to learn the most and pay attention to master them because even a normal punch can become hella strong if you're a honed warrior.
Thanks to the Briefs technology said a special piece of magical wishing from the Dragon balls was stored in a capsule from capsule corp. Yeah, they could also store things like magazines so why not a book that defies logic by its pages quantity?
Yamcha went to the living room quarters that was upstairs since the Gravity Chamber he was in actuality a spaceship that Capsule Corp. designed back when Goku went on his first mission to Namek long ago. The former desert bandit relaxed for a moment, then looked down at the book that was now on a single table near the bed.
It looked to be more or less a tome, the kind that was created back in the very ancient days of Earth. On the front were the words "Various Techniques- Physical and Ki-wise" in gold letters. Yamcha had been training his body for so long, now it was time to train the mind. He once heard from Gohan that during his, Bulma, and Krillin's trip planet Namek to find the Namekian Dragon Balls, he and the bald one would train mentally. Linking their minds together to do mental combat.
And as Master Roshi once told him, "A strong body is useless without a strong mind and spirit to properly control it".
He opened the pages, going to a section of the book that showed various ki techniques that had been used on Earth. The book was magical enough to have recorded on it every kind of technique that utilized the energy of any kind; ki, magic, etc. He spotted the technique used by Krillin during his battle against the Saibamen, the "Expanding Energy Wave" technique. He didn't see it due to him being killed by the kamikaze Saibaman.
He read to himself, "Hmmm... Krillin used compressed energy to create a single large ball of ki that split into multiple ones on his mental command. The energy ball was slow but strong, while the smaller spheres were fast but had less punch into them. Krillin was always able to use ki impressively. This could be useful if I modify it to my style.".
He also looked to Piccolo's "Special Beam Cannon", which was extremely powerful and was meant to pierce through objects. And it was very fast when launched, but it required a lot of energy to concentrate and fire on. Yamcha stated, "Hmmm… in the past, Krillin and Piccolo used ki in a way that could be utilized for something other than explosions. His "Destructo Discs" is proof of that. Now that is interesting to know... and also can be useful in a battle."
Yamcha was exercising his mental muscles here, seeing the various energy and mental attacks that each of his comrades used. He had seen Master Roshi's "Lightning Flash Surprise" that had him use his ki to be changed into the element of lighting, and that was effective on Goku back when he was a kid. Seeing that pure energy like ki can be transmuted to become an element attack, he decided to see what kind of element he could change his energy into.
He looked to Puar and told her, "Puar, I got some suggestions I need you to take down for me. Sorry to ask, but can you be my secretary for the moment?". The cute floating cat that aced Magic School nodded her head with a flowing positive attitude, flying to a shelf nearby and taking a notepad and a pen to write down what Yamcha wanted to relay to her.
The Z-Fighter told his friend to write down a few suggestions: how to make ki change to becoming an element of nature, how to create energy that can slice or pierce through objects rather than simply blowing up, and possibilities of fusing ki attacks, because you never know when something interesting can come out.
"These ideas are interesting in theory, but I'm not sure in practice," Yamcha said looking at his notepad.
"Maybe you should try learning the Kaioken first Yamcha-Sama it's the hardest one after all right?" Puar suggested.
"All in due time Puar, that takes a toll on the body so I should try learning it only when I hit one hundred times gravity"
Rubbing his chin for a moment Yamcha thinks back how everyone uses to be afraid of Demon King Piccolo. How he was so strong that nobody could do anything against him, only seal him like Master Roshi and Tien tried to, but now for him, the former evil version of Piccolo was just your average Thug who knew ki...then something came to mind.
"Image Training!" He said with an eager grin.
Yamcha remembers one of the training methods he once learned. By closing your eyes, image training allows you to be able to create a simulation of your opponent within one's mind. It's a good method used for when you're confined in a place where you can't train, however, a thought came to his mind about the meditative path. Paying attention is important, not just to their appearance but every single detail of your foe as detailed as possible, to the point of feeling so real it's like you can hear them breath. Remember their personality, fighting style, skills, how they would react, and then...what you would do.
"Gotta train my mind" He whispered.
Sitting down on the floor in the lotus position, closing his eyes while the mind drifted away back to the past were things were more simple, well somewhat because there were no aliens, and he was just a bandit in the dessert stealing from travelers, man that felt like forever, it was also a piece of shameful memories before he turned a new leaf but the memory was fresh on his head like it was just yesterday.
Yamcha starts imagining the tournament of martial arts were Goku and everyone entered to test out their might, it was when the Bald monk and the later to know Saiyan was training under Master Roshi. He remembers losing to the mysterious Jackie Chun, who at some point at his younger days would later know it was the turtle hermit all along, it was easy to know, the rare moments when his soon to be master would show his fighting skills, they would look just like the one Jackie would use, oh! He is such a dummy! If only Yamcha knew how to sense ki better.
Besides Master Roshi who participated in two tournaments, there were bound to be more. Goku, Tenshinhan, Krillin, Piccolo and Kami, those were the first time he saw new and old faces to be so strong in the 23rd Tournament of martial arts...and the stepping stone for his training.
Every single bit of information and even words were spoken that day, Yamcha would scan everything and use it! To see how far he needs to go so he can defeat them. And with that thought his hi flare-up shaking the ground for a moment spooking Puar who was watching.
So it began the long Image training of the day…
Bad memories would eventually arise that showed him in a negative light. But he had long learned of his flaws and weaknesses, both character and fighting-wise, after all, he was just human.
After a good time of concentrated meditation, it soon made him arrive in a void; blackness everywhere, not even light except his own being.
Yamcha said to himself 'So...his in my mindscape. Kami told me that the mind is formidable, and the mindscape takes the form of whatever you want it to be. But it is supplied by both memory and imagination, so one needs to have complete mental control on both ends to make the image training effective'
With a great line of thought coming, the void was disappearing and its place was the arena for the martial arts tournament, the one were he would debut as Roshi disciple, everything was in pristine condition, same as Yamcha remembered it long ago.
The mindscape was now complete. Now... it was time to focus and bring forth his mental construct foe so he could spar against it.
The first opponent that Yamcha decided to visualize was Tienshihan, he put every single ounce of memory of Tiens technique's, from when they first fought, all the way to their last sparring session. He then imagines all the ways Tien would act and react during certain situations, and how he would deliver attacks.
When he opened his eyes again, he could see a visualization of Tien standing before him.
"Man...what a blast from the past'' He smirked slightly
After hours of meditation within his mind, for countless times he fought until his mind would hit the limit.
Thanks to the training he so much did before reaching higher levels of gravity, it was clear...the versions of Goku, Tien and Piccolo from the 23rd tournament were strong, but after so many images on his head the guy knew, he was stronger than those versions, outclassing them by a mile and that was not just his ego, the former bandit knew pretty well how much his ki came back from his efforts.
The tri beam of explosive power from the triclops, the azure blast of the Kamehameha wave from Goku, the giant transformation of Piccolo reincarnation. He remembers dodging, countering, or just tanking, putting his brain into overdrive to make sure he was showing his level of determination, telling himself, this is real!
Apart from him wanted to feel cocky that he was way stronger than his friends, or maybe stronger than Vegeta when he arrived on earth, however, being cock got his butt on the otherworld.
"Ughh"
"Yamcha-Sama!" Puar said scared for his friend.
With shaky hands and sweat all over his body, Yamcha knew that to test himself, a stronger opponent was needed, so he did attempt after attempt on an almost real image training with monsters such as Cell would surely increase his mental fortitude. What better wall to try on than that? The immense power that the Bio android would always show off and the techniques of his friends, it was terrifying! He tried every possible conclusion to the image training before feeling like he died a hundred times...but.
"The biggest enemy of a fighter is fear" He whispered.
The point was not to surpass the image of a monster but to force himself to remain calm in the face of imminent danger and death. So constant image training with Perfect Cell was going to be a part of his routine.
A\N: I wanted to make this flashback to being worth it, showing all the training and talking about the muscles group just as a try to make it more interesting, there is also the revelation of his wishes and what they help him with. Now he trains until the arrival of Lord Frieza as you guys know ;)
