Having the thought of something bad might happen in the future, Marshall decided to head to Farmer Yumi’s in the morning to train his powers.
Farmer Yumi had taught him martial arts known as pup-fu, and she’s known as Marshall’s pup-fu master. (Well, in this AU)
After Marshall had his breakfast, he went in his fire truck and was about to set off. Skye suddenly walked over to Marshall and asked: “Hey Marshall, where are you going this early?”
Before Marshall could answer, Skye said: “Let me guess, going for training...again?” Marshall asked: “How did you know...?” Skye then replied with a smile: “Of course I did, I always knew what you’re going to do when you’re about to do something.” Marshall blushed.
“Well, stay safe Marshall. And remember to come back when you’re done...” Skye said. Marshall nodded and replied: “Okay, see ya then.” He then left. Skye decided to go flying for a while. She then flew off.
Meanwhile...
Marshall arrived at the farm. He saw Farmer Yumi picking up the carrots.
Marshall got down from his truck. He then called: “Hey sensei, here for training again.” Farmer Yumi saw Marshall in front of her.
Farmer Yumi replied: “Wow, you really are energetic today.” Marshall said: “Kinda...I’m here to practice my powers.” Farmer Yumi then put the carrots down and said: “In that case, let’s go.” Marshall asked: “To the hills...?” She replied: “Yes, this training requires some trees and big space to work.” They then went to the hills.
As soon as they arrived, Marshall asked: “Why do we need trees?” Farmer Yumi replied: “They were the only things that will be effective to train your powers now. But for now, you’ll have to start by doing a hundred push-ups with only a paw, upside down.”
Marshall gasped: “A paw...? How am I going to do that?” He then tried balancing his body by putting one of his front paw on the ground, but he fell in a few seconds later.
Farmer Yumi smiled: “This training requires balancing and pure strength alone. You won’t be able to get stronger without your body strength aiding you.” She then demonstrated to Marshall by putting a hand on the ground and tilted her body upside down. Marshall grunted: “Aw man... this is hard.” Farmer Yumi said: “You’ll get the hang of it. Now, try again.”
After many times of standing and falling, Marshall finally balanced himself upside down with a paw. “Splendid! Now do a hundred push-ups.” Farmer Yumi ordered.
Marshall tried doing it, but he managed to do only a few push-ups, and he fell down again. He panted.
“Of course, you did had the skills of pup-fu, but you still lack of raw strength and power.” Farmer Yumi said. Marshall replied: “I won’t be done in by this...” He quickly got up and put his right paw on the ground, tilted his body upside down and continued doing push-ups.
“98...99...100!!” After an hour, Marshall finally did a hundred push-ups. He collapsed on the ground, panting.
“Good, now we’ll rest for a minute before continuing.” Farmer Yumi said. “A minute? Can I have two...?” Marshall asked, while panting.
“Then I’ll deduct it to 30 seconds.” Farmer Yumi grinned. Marshall sighed: “Bruh.”
After a minute, Farmer Yumi got up and said: “Well, shall we continue?” Marshall replied: “Yes sensei!!”
“Good, now try punch this tree down with your powers.” Farmer Yumi pointed at a nearby tree.
“Punch...? But I’m not like Rubble with super strength ability...it takes that to knock down this thing.” Marshall was curious.
“That’s the point, Marshall. This requires tremendous strength to knock down this tree, Rubble’s power was an example.” Farmer Yumi then said. She added: “However, you can also use your own strength alone as well. Just like this.”
She then focused all of her strength into her fist and punched the tree. The tree got knocked down.
Marshall gasped: “Woah Sensei, how did you do that?!” Farmer Yumi just replied: “Training.”
Marshall said: “...Yes I know that, I mean your technique of doing it.” Farmer Yumi responded: “Simple, focus every bit of your power into a single part of your body and release it, just like I did.”
“Hmm...” Marshall then tried focusing his powers into his paw and punched the tree. But nothing happened. Instead, he accidentally hurt his paw.
“Ow...” He grunted. “Not just your power alone Marshall, you have to include your body strength as well.” Farmer Yumi said.
“Alright, just imagine every single energy flowing throughout your body channeling into your paw, and I mean everything.” She recommended.
Marshall then got up. “Focus every bit of your power into your paw...” He thought. He then concentrated every bit of strength of his body into his right paw. A few seconds later, his right paw began to grow hotter and hotter, and glowed into bright red.
“And release it!!” He then punched the tree with his right paw. The force of his punch was so strong that the tree got blown to smithereens. The leaves from the tree also turned to dust because of the extreme heat released by Marshall.
“Woah...” Marshall then saw the tree disappearing, and asked: “Did I do that just now...?” Farmer Yumi replied in awe: “Yeah, you just did that...and it’s...”
“Way too epic...” Marshall looked at his paw. He realised that he had gotten stronger than the last time.
“Well, shall we continue?” Farmer Yumi asked. Marshall nodded, in order to become even stronger, he had to train more.
Marshall then kept training till night.
“It’s getting late now.” Farmer Yumi looked at her watch, it’s 7pm. She then praised: “You’ve gotten way stronger than you were in the past few hours.”
Marshall found out that his power, speed and his instincts had increased drastically. He then thanked her: “It’s all thanks to you Sensei that led me to this point.”
“Don’t thank me, you should thank yourself. It’s because of your desire to train, and you finally got what you wanted, by yourself.” Farmer Yumi replied. Marshall smiled.
He then bid farewell to Farmer Yumi and left.
After minutes of driving, Marshall finally arrived back to the lookout. He haven’t eaten anything at all, so he was pretty much starving.
“So how did it go?” Skye came over to Marshall and asked. Marshall replied: “Pretty good, I guess. I finally got the idea on how to use my powers efficiently.”
“Woah...are you okay there? You’re hurt...” She was concerned, looking at Marshall with bruises all over his body. Marshall reassured her with a smile: “It’s fine...this happens all the time.”
Skye said: “No, this is not fine. You hurt more than the last time.” She then dragged Marshall in her pup house. Skye then treated Marshall’s bruises. Marshall then winced a little.
But at the same time, he felt that...Skye actually cares for him. He then smiled.
“Thanks...” He then broke the silence. Skye stopped a little, then looked at Marshall and smiled: “You’re welcome.”
After Skye finished treating Marshall, she asked: “I guess that you’re starving now. Want to head for dinner?” Marshall replied: “You really love reading my mind, huh.” They both laughed, then went into the lookout for dinner.
