"Will we reach the lookout soon?" Klikk asked. It was the day after Klikk's fight and everyone was well rested.
"Just wait." Gohan said. "It should be past this group of clouds." Sure enough they past through a burst of clouds and saw a white platform, looking like a half sphere, and connected to a tower below. This was the lookout. Gohan and Klikk landed on it, and Ichizo followed on Nimbus, but was hesitant to disembark.
"Gohan!" The three looked over to see a Namek running at them. He was slightly short and had a red robe.
"Dende!" Gohan hugged Dende, his long time friend. Klikk gave a small smile.
"Oh Gohan!" A short black creature, much shorter then the others ran up to the group.
"Mr. Popo, I haven't seen you in awhile." Gohan grinned.
"Who are these too?" Dende asked, motioning to Klikk and Ichizo.
"This is my student." Gohan added emphasis as he said it. "Klikk, and this is Ichizo."
"Hello." Dende looked at Ichizo who backed off a bit.
"What are you? Are you a Sayjin too?" Ichizo asked slightly afraid.
"I'm a Nameck."Dende smiled. "It's a creature from another planet, but I was asked to be the new guardian."
"Oooh." Ichizo nodded, still confused.
"Master?" The group all looked to the source of the voice, which was to their left at Dende's hut. A strange being emerged from it, defiantly not human. He was very tall, at least 8 feet, he was a greyish colour and his head resembled a Nameck, without the long ears. He was very skinny, and hunched over quite a bit, and simply wore ripped pants. He had a towel around his neck and looked tired. "Do we have guests?"
"Oh, Gohan, Klikk, Ichizo, this is Shikkan. He is a warrior from a distant planet."
"Is he a Nameck too?" Ichizo whispered to Gohan, who shook his head.
"He is remarkably strong." Gohan raised an eyebrow.
"Yes, but he can't journey down to earth, his planet is so different that it would kill him. He is just lucky he crashed into the lookout."
"I train here a lot, I have greatly increased in strength." A grin crossed Gohan's face.
"Dende, on earth capsule corp was destroyed, I don't suppose you have one of the scouters Bulma made?"
"Oh, I think I do." Dende nodded and ran off.
"A what?" Klikk looked over.
"The perfect gadget, based on a Sayjin Scouter that Vegeta used to have, and what he remembered about it, she was able to created a device to measure one's power level."
"I found it!" Dende came running out with a small mechanical Scouter. He threw it to Gohan who put it on.
"If I only remembered how this works." Gohan put it over his eye and pressed a button. Immediately from Gohan's view numbers began scrolling on the screen. Gohan looked directly at Klikk and the numbers showed '325' Gohan cringed. "Klikk your Power level is three hundred and twenty five." Gohan explained.
"Yes!" Klikk did a backfilp. "That is good right?"
"I was over three hundred million when I fought Buu." Gohan muttered. He looked over at Shikkan. The numbers flashed for awhile but finally read '2,982' "And Shikkan's is two thousand, nine hundred and eighty two."
"What!?!" Klikk was in shock. "Its broken!" He claimed. "In my condition I could beat any fighter at the world martial arts tournament!"
"You probably could, but that doesn't mean your all that strong." Gohan grinned. "Remember, I'm over 200 years old and I could beat you."
"But this is pointless to talk out here." Dende said, we should go inside and eat."
"Food!" Ichizo laughed and ran up to Dende, walking with him.
"Klikk take this." Gohan said as the others kept walking, giving Klikk the Scouter.
"Sir?"
"Klikk, you are headstrong and would have attacked Cell in your condition. Use this Scouter when you feel like making decisions that might get you killed.
"Yes sir." Klikk accepted the Scouter and put it on, keeping it turned off.
"It can also be used to find Dragon Balls, but as long as the dragon Radar exists, try to use it."
"Gohan."
"Yes?"
"I am starving, can we just go eat."
"Your learning more from me then I thought." Gohan laughed and the two walked into Dende's hut.
The group sat inside eating, except of course for Dende.
"Gohan I know you didn't come for a visit, you have met with Ven already." Dende said as the meal was reaching its end.
"Yes, we have encountered Ven, he requires the Dragon Balls. Dende answer me a few questions." Gohan sighed.
"Of course."
"Dende can the Dragon Balls be used to find an object?"
"Yes of course."
"Ven requires something the Kais have hidden from him, he wishes to use the Dragon Balls to wish for it."
"Then we must get them before he does."
"Dende can you tell me if Ven has any Dragon Balls? We have only gathered 2." Gohan pleased with Dende.
"Give me a second." Dende closed his eyes and concentrated. A few seconds later a frown covered his face and he opened them again. "He has two Dragon Balls.
"So there are only 3 left?" Klikk asked.
"Exactly." Gohan said standing up. "Ichizo we must go."
"But-" Klikk had little time to voice an objection.
"Dende, can Klikk stay here and train."
"Of course." Dende nodded.
"I will help him train." Shikkan said, who up until now had been silent.
"But your... no offense... you have no muscle." Almost exactly after the words left Klikk's mouth Shikkan disappeared. "Where?" Klikk looked surprised but saw a smirk on Gohan's face. Suddenly a hand was placed on Klikk's shoulders and he jumped in surprise.
"I am faster then your eye can track." Shikkan grinned. "I'm stronger too"
"But Gohan..."
"I am sorry Klikk but you must stay here. Tomorrow begin your training with Shikkan, and go see if Korin can get you some Senzu beans."
"Senzu...?"
"Dende will explain it. Ichizo better go and find the Dragon balls." Gohan nodded standing up.
"Can't I stay here with Mr. Dende and train like Klikk?" Gohan said nothing but looked to Dende.
"Mr. Popo could train him for now until he gets stronger." Dende suggested.
"That's a great idea." Klikk exclaimed
"Can I Mr. Gohan?" Ichizo asked.
"Well... its your choice." Gohan smiled. Ichizo jumped up from the table and ran to Mr. Popo. "Oh boy! Lets go!"
"Tomorrow." Gohan laughed. "Its late enough, you two can sleep, I will go find the Dragon Balls."
Gohan had left the night before and now Klikk was waking up. He changed into his t-shirt and pants and walked outside where Shikkan was already standing.
"Are you ready?"
"I suppose so." Klikk nodded.
"The boy and Mr. Popo are training already."
"Good, now lets get under way."
"Fine, first... try and catch me." Shikkan grinned.
"Moron..." Klikk shook his head a couple times and flew at Shikkan. Shikkan side stepped right when Klikk reached him, so that Klikk appeared to pass right through him. Klikk flew into the air and dive bombed at Shikkan. He got near the warrior but Shikkan jumped into the air again and flew off. This continued for about an hour or so before Klikk actually landed. Physically drained and sweat pouring from his head. Shikkan landed as well.
"For one so weak you are surprisingly persistent." A grin spread over Shikkan's face.
"I'm going to get you!" Klikk growled. "Death Spear Strike!" Klikk ran at Shikkan faster then he was expecting and dove at him about 5 meters away, flying at him. Shikkan leaped right over Klikk, and he fell to the ground exhausted
Gohan held the Dragon radar, he was approaching a ball fast and by the looks of it, it was in a lake. He dove into the cool water and began looking around. Gohan spotted a orange glint, directly below him and swam towards it. He saw it sitting on the edge of a rock and grabbed it while swimming. Gohan gave himself a mental thumbs up, when all the sudden a giant fish came from nowhere and ate him. A few seconds later the fish was surprised to have a blast blow a hole in the top of his head, and Gohan, and dragon ball, emerged from the fish.
