As Goku awoke from his sleep, a grin immediately plastered itself onto his face.

Upon sensing their energy, he had become incredibly enthusiastic about training them to their full potential.

He could already see it…

'first' he thought 'I will train them.'

'Then, I'll send them off into the world for a year in order to hone their skills in a way only they can!'

'And THEN, I will have ALL of them come at me at ONCE!'

As he closed the window quietly, as to not awaken the beast, (Chi-Chi), He began giggling like a child about to receive candy.

He began his morning routine of stretches. After about 30 minutes, he went over to the small house that had belonged to his grandfather in order to wake up the sleeping children. Chi-Chi had suggested they sleep there so that Goku would be able to wake them up without Waking her as well.

He opened the door to his grandfather's house quietly.

Only to see Gon and Alluka already awake with a huge grin on their faces, trying in vain to get Killua to wake up. He silenced his ki to watch them.

"Killua, Come ON! We gotta wake up Goku so we can train!"

"Big Brother I wanna learn how to fight! Please wake up!"

Killua groaned and turned away from his two partners.

Frowning, the two continued their attempts.

"Killua, Killua, Killua, Killua-" they both spoke repeatedly.

Killua abruptly rose from his bed.

"Will the both of you SHUT UP! THE OLD MAN PROBABLY ISN'T EVEN UP YET! IT'S FIVE IN THE MORNING!" He shouted in exasperation.

Goku took this moment to make his presence known as to begin their training.

(And keep Killua from Killing his two other students.)

"I'll have to disappoint you there Killua. I'm all ready to go!"

Killua shot Goku a look of irritation while Gon and Alluka excitedly made their way outside.

"Come on Killua. Your body isn't going to become stronger from glaring at me!" he teased.

With a huff, Killua made his way outside at a slower pace.

When all four of them were out in the forest, Goku stood front and center and began his speech, his disciples focused, ready to hear his words.

"Alright you three listen up! I want you guys to know that I really suck at explanations and believe in learning by doing! So, don't expect any complicated lectures."

All three nodded in understanding.

"That said, I expect you guys to try as hard as you can. I won't tolerate any laziness. So, give 100% of your effort, and I have no doubt that you will all come out of this as much better fighters." He explained

The three, again, nodded.

Goku smiled, "Alright then. Now that we got that out of the way, we are going to start with a good old-fashioned sparring match so that I can gauge where you three are at!"

Gon quickly raised his hand.

"I want to go first!" he exclaimed.

Goku nodded.

"Alright! You three follow me. I know the perfect place for a spar!"

Gon and Goku settled on opposite sides of the battlefield, that had been chosen by the teacher, while Killua and Alluka made sure to keep their distance and stood several meters on the side. Currently, all four of them stood in a large grassy plain just outside of the forest. It was surrounded by small hills and mountains along with a mini waterfall which turned into a small river that lead back into the forest.

Goku analyzed his much younger opponent. Said boy had a burning look of excitement in his eyes and a bright smile that would not leave his face.

It was subtle, but Goku swore he saw Gon's hand twitch in excitement.

Goku smiled.

'I guess I'm not the only one out here who loves to fight.' He thought to himself.

Alluka piped up from where she stood, determined to play referee.

"Okay! Whoever is knocked out first is the loser! Killing is NOT allowed!"

Goku quickly glanced to the side in surprise. Killing? Why would a girl as young as Alluka need to bring up something like that?

He would have to tell Chi-Chi later…

"BEGIN!" The young raven-haired child cried out.

Almost as soon as Alluka began the match, Gon immediately charged forward, his aura spiking up in an instant. He aimed a punch toward Goku's face, which the mentor was able to dodge swiftly. While in midair, Gon shifted a large amount of aura into his left foot, before quickly spinning and aimed a downward side kick to Goku's forehead. Goku swiftly moved to the side while his eyes narrowed.

'He has some pretty good control over his energy, but the way he focuses his aura makes it too obvious what he is about to do…'

Landing with his back turned, he quickly jumped while attempting to perform a backhand. Goku dodged his attack, but just barely, having been taken aback by the boy's quick reflexes and instinct. As soon as Goku dodged the back hand, Gon immediately followed up with a right hook aimed at Goku's chin.

Seeing this, Goku jumped high into the air, performing a back flip and landing gracefully on his feet. Almost as soon as he did, he saw Gon charging at him with a fully energy charged fist.

Deciding to test Gon's strength, Goku did not attempt to dodge, and as soon as Gon threw his arm out, Goku held out his own in order to block it. As the fist connected with Goku's block, a large wind blew from the force of the blow, pushing dust and even small pebbles back several meters.

Goku stared, appalled at the shock wave that came from that one blow.

His hand even tingled slightly from the force!

Grinning, he swung his fist at Gon, sending the boy flying several feet away.

Quick to recover, Gon let his aura burst before quickly dashing back in.

Goku met with his own assault.

The two began to throw a series of blinding punches and kicks at each other.

The force from the impacts were slowly creating a small crater in the ground, sending thousands of dust particles flying.

On the side, Alluka stared in awe while Killua's eyes narrowed.

'Gon is giving it all he's got, but Goku isn't budging an inch. The amount of energy that man has is absolutely ridiculous…' Killua thought.

Goku threw a spin kick, which Gon narrowly evaded by ducking. He charged his fist with aura and attempted an uppercut, which Goku countered with his own fist.

The shock wave sent both of them skidding back.

A standstill ensued, both opponents remaining quiet. They both gazed intensely in an attempt to analyze their opponent.

Gon looked slightly worn out though…

"HEY! GOKU!" Gon called.

Goku blinked.

"I REALLY hate saying this but you are way, WAY, stronger than me. So from this moment on…"

Gon's aura spiked up to a ridiculous amount, and then he did something Goku did not expect in the slightest.

His entire aura became heavily concentrated around his body staying close to the shape of it. The force began to make the ground shake.

Goku stared amazed.

'He has THAT much control over his enhancement at his age?! This kid is gonna be a monster when he grows up!' Goku though. His body began to tingle at the thought of how much stronger Gon would become as an adult.

Gon grinned

"I am not gonna hold back at all starting from now. LET'S GO!"
