After a while when I continue helping myself for raise some money for traveling to Japan; one of dog named, Rocky, like to train in my gym. So, help him and gave some sparring match, and along with some friend that could us help us with his training, too. Hope he'll win on the championship. I'll cheer him on no matter what.

========================================================================

I been working on my saving for traveling to Japan for seeing Roger again, and to tell him that he did a great job in the Olympic. So, I did some side job and even some dotation by helping many people and give them some lesson, too. Hope I’ll can make it before the end of the month.
By the end of the week, I've half short and, I still need some a bit more money to reach toward my goal. "Oh man," I said; "I still and bit short, how can I make more when I got nothing else to do?"
Then, I heard the door and that when I saw him, a Merle Australian Shepherd that carry a gym bag on his shoulder and strap across his body. I beginning to wonder if he's looking for some sparring match, if that case; maybe it could let me rest and ease for while from all that saving.
So, I go up to him and said; "Hello. My name is Dex, gym owner of boxing and physical trainer, how can help you today?"
"Hi, Dex," he replied with a smile; "My name is Rocky and like to train for a boxing match."
"Okay, do you like to do a quick sparring?"
"Um, no. You see, I need to be trained, because I didn't practice for boxing ever since. So... could you help me?"
I smile; "Of course, anyway I also help many people to train in boxing and more others, too. So, let get to Rocky."
We started off by some warmup, me gave some movement that help Rocky to be more flexible and could release some of his muscle in his body, too. By the moment he did that, I could see that he's ready for the next training exercise. On the next phase we head toward to the bag, and I demonstrated him some tactic that he needs it to help him stay focus his attack. I hold the bag, and he started hitting it with all his might. While I was holding the bag, I can also feel that his punches come through the bag and almost toward me. I surprise that he got that power inside, could be holding it from his previous match?
But, on the next one. This one we are doing is some shadow boxing, we give each other some space and we face our own opponent of own shadow, so we detected any spot we need to strike and continue striking our opponent's weak point. In sometimes we finally thrown our final punch and take a water break.
After I taken a few sips of water, I said to him; "You did really good job, Rock."
"Thanks, I couldn't do it without, Dex." And when he saw my jar fill of coins and dollars, he asked; "Hey Dex, what this for?"
Go to him; "Oh, that's for me to go to Japan."
"Japan, why you need to go right there?"
"Let's just say, I just wanted to meet someone. A dear friend, for example."
"I see," and spotted me and Roger in a group photo; "Is that him?"
"Yeah, Roger and I really have fun before he left Australia. He even won the Olympics on Japan, too."
"Wait you mean, the Roger, who won the Olympics’ boxing event?"
"That's him," I said as I raise my bottle.
Then, Rocky smile and said; "I wish you good luck, Dex And I bet he'll be glad that he meets you face to face, when you get there."
I nodded, "Yeah. Well, let's continue your training, Rocky."
"Right."
So, we enter inside the ring and I putting on my pad. As for Rocky, he is putting on his blue glove and began to pound it for some great impact of the sound of its leather, strong and powerful. And as I clap my pad, I said; "Are you ready?"
He nodded and began to shout; "One-two!" And he began to throw a punch of his right and left jab. And with the same process, we continue the same step repeatedly, also I counter his with an attack and he dodge it on time. And then after a few punches, I can see that he's ready to move on to the next and final training exercise: sparring.
We head toward the locker room and we began to change to our boxing uniform. After we did that, we head inside the ring again, and started to head to our corner.
As I gone to my corner, I started asking Rocky for kind of rule he wanted for our match; "Hey, Rocky? Before we start, what kind of match do you want?"
Rocky began to think; "Hmm, well I did train with you. So, let's do a two-round match. Along with knock down."
"You got it," I said. And then we wait for the bell ring.
As the bell rang for the first round; we began to head toward the middle of the ring and tap our gloves together in order to begin our fight.
I started off by using my left and then I swing a right. Then, I did again in a reverse order. Rocky stand guard with his glove up high and block my attack, even he resists from my hooks, too.
Rocky now begin to strike as he sees me move around with my footwork, he take a deep breath and focus on my next move. As he watches my foot work on the ground; he predicts my next move and started to encounter me with an uppercut. When I move toward the next step, I saw that Rocky began to throw an uppercut, suddenly almost lose my balance and drop my guards down. With that he began to strike me with an attack, he throws a two-right jab, both hooks, then a gut punch, and finally an uppercut.
I take a double right jab to my face, along with two hooks on both side; swinging my face left to right. And then, he gave me a body blow that make me; "Oomph," and let my mouth guard out. But that's all he also gave me an uppercut that made my mouthguard launch out of my mouth and send me flying out of the ring's mat. Luckily, I'm safe from the rope behind me.
I was surprise to see him fight so strong and even when he trains for one day, he still getting stronger. But mustn't let my guard down for that kind of excuse, so I must fight more serious.
As the time shown for one minute and fifty second left; I began to charge toward him and gave him a body blow of my own. And along with a hook to the side of the stomach, even I gave an uppercut. And that's not all, I even continue attacking with a close-range attack with a hook-a-roo and straight. Rocky stand ready for any attack, but he didn't notice that I came from below. With that, he exclaims; "Oomph!" as the blow on his stomach been landed along with both hook from left to right. After that, his head now going upward, even face gone across letting some of his spit out of his mouth by my hook-a-roo, and even been implanted by a straight punch, too. Making his whole body flying across the ring and landed on his back.
I got the first point for the first round, but still he needed some process, so I gave some advice before head toward the next round; "Word of advice, Rocky! When you see your open about to launch an attack you must perry to deflect the attack and strike with a counter, got it?!"
He nodded; "Yeah, I remember it on the next round!"
So, before we take a little break and drank some water for refreshment. After that we began to be ready as the bell rings for the second round. And as it rings; we began heading back to the middle and this time, Rocky began to be more focus on the fight. Like he's can understand my list of move or known what's my next step is.
I began to throw a punch, and just like that he dodges it. So now I began to continue my attack and dodges them one by one until he counters into the opening. When I'm at my final attack, he was too tired to dodge, but instead of dodging it, he remembers his lesson and began to perry my attack with his glove, and counterattack with left hook.
I felt his attack, and it was great. I know that he could do it, but I, too must focus on the fight. So, I can become strong just like my friend, Roger.
Rocky began to do some footwork, to keep himself active and ready for any attack. he began charging toward me with a jab and keep on jabbing me until he landed a hit. I dodge all his jab, but it almost became too fast for in the next single throw. And when I try to perry it, he also found a way to counterattack in the opening.
So, I just have about enough of this and try to throw my special punch attack, but as I did that, he began rushing toward me again.
"Is he’s nut?" I thought to myself.
And as he's close to me; he throws his own punch with spiral and implanted me in the face; send across the ring to the ropes and bounce off, throwing me to the ground. Made it into an K.O.
Rocky was amazed to see himself getting himself back into boxing shape. Afterward, he helps me to get up and thank me teaching him how to box, again.
"Thank-you, Dex, for helping me to learn how to box again."
"No problem," I said; "I just glad that you are getting back into your boxing feet to head toward the championship once again."
And that let me realize; "By the way, where you to?"
That make Rocky realize; that with his training in the way, he kind of forgot to know he's going to compete.
"I'm not so sure," he said with his ear gone down; "I kind of forgotten where I needed to go."
I was sorry for him, so I began to think it over and try to help him in some way. Until then, Rompa came rushing over to me with some flier in his hand.
"Dex! Dex!" he began to shout; "Dex, you never going to believe this."
"What is it, Rumpa?" I said.
"Take a look at this," he handed it over to me, and as I see it; I was amaze with my own eyes.
The flier state; "Whoever survive in the one round with a Gut-Punch-asaurus, will win a million of dollar in the event of 'Rumple at the Jurassic'. Event began in next month."
"Next Month, I could be able to train before the event started. Thank-you, Rumpa."
"Actually, the on you needed to thanks is Fang."
"Fang? You mean he's back?"
"Yep, he's back at his home."
I was glad and excited to hear that he's back, and maybe he could tell about Roger back from Japan. Plus, I may be able to help Rocky, too.
So, all of us rush over to Fang's place and I began to greet him with a congratulation for making to the first place on the event and made him to the third place in boxing, too. And as I about to ask him about Roger; he told me that he wanted to let me know that he's thankful cheering him and gave him good luck in event with my gift.
I was happy to hear that, also he told me that he wanted to give a gift back in Japan, too. As I open it; I saw a necklet that hold a six-gold coin. I began to wonder what it is, but the way gave it to me; is like a same good luck charm that gave him. So, I began to put it on and thank him inside my head.
Also, I ask Fang if he could have a match with Rocky in boxing, and glad to have a match with him. So, they have a three-round match, and on the first-second round; Rocky double knock down, but never back out. So, he continues fighting back with everything he got on the third round, along with all the lesson I've been given to him. Soon after, he won the match. And Fang gave him, his old medal, that gotten when he's at boxing school back then.
Rocky was proud and he thanks me and Fang for a match, we've gave him. So, with that, he began to head out began his great boxing story on the new page of his chapter.
And I also thank Fang for giving me a flier that held the event. Plus, he could help me train before the event. I just hope he could go easy on me, just like in previous training with him. Within few weeks, I'll be able to win the event by surviving in one round and able to meet my friend.
