"-then I predicted his jump and hit him with one last Sparkling Thunder!" *Boy* exclaims, practically bouncing about your *small* room in his excitement. The Aegiomon raises one fist and plants the other hand on his hip, striking a victorious pose. "Ser Thresh's squire couldn't fight after that sensei, I won!" You resist the urge to snort at his actions, and instead channel that humour into a proud laugh.
"Well done student. From the sound of it you capitalized on his vulnerabilities as a warrior and fought well."
"Heh, thanks… I was just uh, defending your honor." The Aegiomon replies bashfully, the hint of a blush tinting his face.
Zeha, having a student truly is enjoyable. I understand why Master had so much fun training me.
"Umm, sensei? Sorry if this sounds… dumb, but I'm not sure why I was able to beat him up so easily. A-after I got close I mean. If he was training with your brother, then shouldn't he have been… good at that?"
"A good question, and easily answered." You muse sagely. *Boy* isn't one to lie about this, and when combining his description with what you know of your brother… "It's because of the difference you possess in training and experience."
"Uh… what's that supposed to mean exactly?" The Champion frowns and tilts his head at you in confusion.
"My brother relies primarily on his natural instinct, and experience gained from battle. A combination that works so well because of ingrained talent. Fighting comes natural to him, and his skill develops accordingly."
"Why are you telling me about…" His eyes widen in sudden understanding. "He treats his student the same way!"
"Correct. And from your explanation ExVeemon lacks my brother's extraordinary combat instincts. Which brings me to the second point. Advancing one's skill only through Sparring with only my brother and presumably Bulwark personnel has left him lacking."
"But… I haven't sparred against that many mon eith-the katas! Training like you've shown me is different, isn't it?!" That earns him a proud nod. "Then… the Maul Style can be applied more uh… broadly?"
"Tutelage in my martial art will not prepare you for any opponent by itself, but aye. The regimented and practiced movements are superior to merely relying on instincts and experience."
"I never thought about it like that." Your student murmurs looking at his hands in sudden wonderment. "Back with Ogremon it was… just brawling with a bunch of different mon. He said… raw experience was the best teacher."
"There is some wisdom in that as well. One must have their skills tempered by experience. You would not have taken to my teachings nearly as well without that reserve to draw upon."
"So… both training and fighting?"
"Essentially, yes."
And speaking of training…
"After evolving to Ultimate you'll be sparring with Dame Fonte's disciples. You lack experience in dealing with weapon-wielding humanoid mons."
"Sure thing sensei! But uh... Who's Dame Fonte?"
"A knightmon, but that will come later. The next days will be focused on your physical limits."
"Yeah…" The Aegiomon winces.
"Friggen' enhanced gravity is gonna make this suck. But if it helps me beat up that holy sonuvabitch..."
"Come again?"
"Nothing!"
Hrm… I have the training schedule for him ready, but the hunt will have to wait to until his musculature has finished developing. In the meantime I should build a training plan for myself. When the tournament finally comes, I must be able to defeat Thresh… and Repulsa.

AN: And here's the second half. Training plan will be open over the weekend. I'm taking away the alternating sets here because of the numbers involved. I don't want to double the work when calculating will already be a fairly long time.
