I don't own Dragon Ball this is a fanfiction.

AN: Those that love the entire Vegeta and Bulma pairing I would advice to look at another story cause this one will not be to your liking, you have been warned.

I will be the first person to admit it, I like anime, manga, video games and science fiction movies. I couldn't be more of an Otaku even if I tried. My name is Hector Flores, and due to my hobby, I am not what you call a very social person. Let's face it, I spend most of my days either playing video games, doing homework, reading manga online or watching anime.

I know that might seem impossible but I am an actual college student, and sometimes I just need a break from some of the horrible things my professors assign as homework. I am a student studying a Bachelor degree in Information Systems with a minor in Systems Engineering.

You would think that I would be learning mostly how to fix computers, and learning programming language, well you would be wrong. The amount of math and other subjects I have to get through is quite large. You would never realize that your favorite games had more to do with math than you realize till you begin studying my major.

Out of all the anime I ever watched, there are three that I hold to as my favorites, first being Dragon Ball, I loved to see the way a spiky haired kid, beat entire armies into oblivion with nothing more than an extendable stick. The other two were Macross and last but not least One Punch Man. If I had to pick one I would pick Dragon Ball for the whole Goku is pretty much invincible, at least when he was a kid, and because it holds one of my childhood crushes.

I have watched the entire series so many times, I could probably tell you that if there is a person I hated in the entire series besides Roshi, cause I don't like how he treated my childhood crush, is Yamcha. I know many would say Krillin is the worst character in the entire series.

I, however, would disagree, to me the worst character is that good for nothing, lazy, disrespectful little creep that is Yamcha, how much do I hate this character? Well when I saw him die, most people would be sad. I actually was cheering when I saw him get killed. I actually consider the fact that they made a wish on Shenron to revive him, a waste.

First off the man is a bandit, so he is not that dependable or trustworthy, not a real productive member of society now that I think of it, and I think he even flirted with Goku's future wife when she was a little girl, I mean the only friend he has is an emotionally scarred transforming blue cat.

So it goes without saying that I really hate him, I do however have to envy one thing about him. He got to live with a beautiful girl, go on wild adventures with Goku, and even became a professional baseball player, in the end, I do have to admit the creep is a good friend to Goku and the others, and my hatred might be a little bias, alright it is completely envy and rage based but still I do feel it is deserved.

My latest project is actually rather funny. I have been studying ways to actually make the Capsules that appear on the anime work in the real world. The more I study the actual requirements and things that need to happen I realize it is fiction, but I somehow felt that the capsules if they work on they would be the answer to so many things, from shipping to dealing with disposable of dangerous substances.

I was told I was insane, and let's face it, the first prototype of the capsule I am working on is as big as a room in a warehouse. The thing that always gets to me is the whole compression of mass and to be able to return that mass to the original state once taken out of storage. Sure I figured a way to compress something to fit inside one of those capsules sure, but the thing was never the same afterward.

The amount of energy required to do it is also a problem, the amount was massive. If the fact that the item being compressed was pretty much destroyed was bad, the cost of provided the necessary amount of energy to do it was not economically viable.

I thought that I could go down the route Pokeballs did for a second, digitize the matter that I want to store, and have it reconstructed when the device was used again, but a few mentions of the absolute horrors what the military could use them for, and that idea was deleted and I was happy to delete it.

The only alternative was to find a way to do this without causing a miniature black hole from forming. Now that I think of it, I think one of the characters in one of the anime I watched actually could do that.

The idea was considered at best a foolish idea, and at worst an insane idea, I somehow wondered if Dr. Brief actually had this sort of comments when he invented the Capsules. Anyways I am distracted, I build my lab in the outskirts of the city I was born, for obvious reasons, the warehouse was cheap to rent, and the experiment would cause no damage to anyone other than me.

That's right, I am trying to make something that would improve the lives of millions, but even my professors consider it so insane that nobody is actually helping me do it. Why couldn't I been born in the universe of Dragon Ball, the place is constantly threatened by ungodly monster true, but at least I could try to invent something my peers call insane and nobody would treat me like a weirdo.

I finally managed to make the device as small as a basketball, and that is when everything went wrong. I turned the capsule on, the compression was going just fine and when the item I was trying to store within the device actually scraped the inside of it, it cause the compression to go out of control and the thing that got sucked into it was not the broken wreck of a car that I was using for the experiment, the thing that got sucked in was me.

It was then as I was trying desperately to hold on to dear life, hoping that I could hold on till the power was too much and the breakers would kick in that I came to realize two things. First I really needed to have spent more time hitting the weight room at my local college and less time watching anime, playing games, and reading books at the college library.

The second thing is I sure understood what Doctor Frankenstein felt, I mean here I am getting killed by my own creation, I couldn't be more like him even if I tried. Maybe in my next life I would be born something better, a Namek wouldn't be bad, I would sure save a ton of money on my grocery bill alone, hell, I am going to die, I would actually wouldn't mind being born as Krillin for all I care, I know I would certainly be happy with 18 taking care of me. Why not, I would even be happy being reborn as the emo prince of all Saiyans too.

As everything went dark, I came to realize that the whole white light nonsense didn't happen. Next thing I know I am getting touched by a soft furry hand I think, please dear god don't tell me I was reborn in Zootopia, if I was I probably want to kill that police chief.

Someone was definitely touching my face, my forehead and for some reason, this person was really concerned about me. I have to admit, I was feeling rather touched, literately, that someone actually cared.

"Wake up! Oh, come on Yamcha they didn't hit you that hard. Heck, I got worse hits than that and I am fine. So come on, stop freaking me out! Wake up already, how long are you going to just stay there pretending your unconscious with your head on my lap! I know you said my fur is soft but this is getting ridiculous."

I opened my eyes and I saw a human shaped cat person and indeed my head was on her lap. I quickly touched my head and looked around and saw I was in a dirty, cave that not even a bear would call his home.

"Is that you Puar? Where are we?" She looked like she helped me get on my feet, and looked rather feeling a bit relief after I stood on my feet. She didn't look like anything I remember her being in the old anime, my god, she was actually quite pretty.

"I managed to get away from those guys we tried to rob, our car is pretty much totaled with all the gun shots it took when I was trying to get away, I guess you could say you got knocked out when that big guy tried to kill you with that mace."

Well look at life on the positive side for once, I actually got my wish or at least partially, I was indeed reborn in my favorite all cartoon. The place didn't look at all like in the anime, Puar sure as hell didn't look like the blue cat I saw before. I wonder how different the other characters look.

Now let's look at the negative, I was reborn, not a Namek, oh no, not even as Krillin, God must have a sense of humor, I swear this is not funny at all, at least not for me, I was reborn as the one character I hated most in the entire series, I am the good for nothing, Yamcha. Is this a sick joke or am I getting punished for something I did, it sure felt like a punishment since I am Yamcha the desert bandit.

"You know Puar I been thinking about things, and that whole beating I got made me realize something, being a bandit means that everyone is against us. I think we should change the way we do things. I also need to get more serious about training, maybe you could teach me some of your transforming techniques."

I swear the blue feline actually began to smile at me, "I been telling you that for years, who know you only needed a good hit on the head to make you see reason. I should have changed into a mace and hit you myself!"

I looked at her and began to shake my head, "Honestly Puar, are you sure you are my friend? Cause that is not something nice to tell your only friend you know. I think the only person that would say that to a friend is that pig bully you once told me about."

She stopped talking the second I said that and looked at me with a rather shocked look on her face, "I am sorry Yamcha, it's true, I did sound like that worthless bastard Oolong didn't I? So what do you think we should change besides you getting more serious about training?"

I looked at her and began to smile, "I think we should pick the people we rob better than that, I actually think we will actually have an easier time if we hit other criminal groups, and give the money back to the people they robbed blind. I think we will feel better about being the way we are if we do that."

I swear she began laughing, "I actually like the idea, a thief that steals from another thief has 100 years of forgiveness, after all, we might actually become able to help a lot of people, you might even finally get over your embarrassment and get yourself a girlfriend."

So that is how I decided to begin my life as Yamcha, instead of being the desert bandit he was in the anime, I would begin my life as Yamcha as being the Dragon Ball equivalent of Robin Hood.

The training was actually quite fun, and the fact that we hit groups that made life horrible to other people made me quite happy. Good thing I knew so much about the Dragon Ball universe, I was able to know who to hit, and how.

I have been doing my Robin Hood routine pretty much for a week now, and I got to say I realized one thing, Puar is a good friend and trustworthy partner. I sure got used to having her around, the only thing I didn't get used to is the fact that the whole cat look was a way for her to look innocent and be able to scout out her enemy.

I decided to ask Puar to cut my hair short, I know that some guys prefer it long, but the long hair got in the way of the actual work we had to do, and you never heard this from other people but wearing a bandanna while having long hair tends to make you sweat something awful, water conservation is a big thing when fighting in the desert.

I have been hearing bad things about a group of people they call themselves the Red Ribbon Army, I know I am not prepared to hit someone that tough yet, but I decided to keep an eye out to see if I find Goku and Bulma. If I must be Yamcha I might as well decided to be a good friend to Goku, alright I admit it, I also wanted to check out Bulma, let's face it if Puar is that beautiful in her natural state, Bulma must be close to a goddess and I definitely wanted to see that.

For some reason, Puar was always asking me why I didn't get flustered anymore when we returned the things other crooks stole. I got to admit, that I got quite a few hugs from some rather pretty young women when I managed to get their things back. The Yamcha from the anime would have been out like a light if he got the hugs I got, but for some reason, it really didn't affect me.

"I don't know what to tell you, my friend, I just think that the people are happy they got back their belongings, they even gave us some money for helping them. Come on Puar, let's see if we can do some good today. Who knows maybe I will meet the unlucky girl that will become my girlfriend."

She asked me why did I saw unlucky, "Yamcha you are one of the nicest guys I know, and I got a lot of brothers, why do you say that the girl that becomes your girlfriend is unlucky?"

I couldn't help but to scratch the side of my face where my scar was. "I don't think many fathers would approve of me as a boyfriend to their daughters, my income is not what you call stable or sufficient, and I got more enemies than not, we do some good Puar, but even you got to admit our way of life is rough."

She began to nod her head and smiled as in her kitty form she floated and stood on my shoulder. "I wouldn't worry too much Yamcha, maybe you will make some girl really happy. If that never happens you know you can always count on me, I will never abandon you like your folks did."

I smiled and began to look through my binoculars, "At the very least my feline friend, I did find a treasure when you became my friend. Thank you Puar, I feel a whole lot better."
