A New Friend

Last time, Gohan was on his own as Piccolo left him to fend for himself as part of his training.

When he reached a cave, he found a strange robot who was downright obnoxious, but Gohan still stayed by him.

Then, the cave ceiling started crumbling over Gohan's head. Before the collapsing cave could crush Gohan, the robot grabbed him and through him out of the cave. Sadly, the robot had to give his power away to save Gohan.

That day, Gohan realized that he had to take the robot's advice, and take care of himself.

Meanwhile, at a baseball game, Yamcha, the former desert bandit, and Puar, the shapeshifting animal, were sitting on a bench in the dugout.

"Aren't you nervous about winning the game?" Puar asked Yamcha.

"What's there to be nervous about?" replied Yamcha. "This is too easy. Seems like every time I step up to the play, I hit a home run."

"Yeah, but that's a good thing, isn't it?"

"I'm a fighter Puar, I'm not a...ball player"

"Don't talk like that! Fighting doesn't pay the rent Yamcha! You have to make money somehow."

Just then, Krillin and Bulma arrive. When Bulma sees Yamcha, she glares at him. She remembers seeing Yamcha with another girl.

"Man, being a jerk just comes so natural to you," Bulma sneered.

"Yeah, well, I guess I owe all my training in that department to you Bulma," Yamcha replied nervously.

Krillin explains to Yamcha the whole story about the Saiyan aliens coming to Earth plotting to destroy it.

"Krillin, if you need some help against those Saiyans, let me know," Yamcha said heroically.

"Wait a second," Krillin said. "That's what I came to talk to you about. I do need you. Korin wants us all to report to him for special training."

"For real Krillin?"

"Uhuh...uhuh."

A few moments later, Yamcha, Puar, Bulma and Krillin were all in Bulma's capsule car flying to get Tien and Chiaotzu.

"Well, I'm not gonna bow down to those Saiyan jerks!" Yamcha cheered. "We've got Piccolo on our side and Goku's gonna be back even stronger than before."

"That's true," Bulma complimented.

"And besides, it's not every day you get a chance to be trained by Korin himself. In any case, those sorry Saiyans are gonna have their hands full, I'll make sure o' that."

"Wow. Now you're talkin' Yamcha."

"Oh great. She still likes him. Bummer," Krillin said deadpanned. He still wished he had a girlfriend.

As the four went off to get Tien and Chiaotzu, they didn't know who else was going to be there with them.
