Given the videos that are popping up now about Ashs position in sword and shield, me myself am unsure how he would fit in with the characters for the next region depending on how Sun and moon ends and sword and sheild starts. At the moment, looking at the current episode on bulbapedia makes me wonder just how much a league is needed in the region with how the episodes are going. All i can picture is Kukui and principal oak making it feel like a graduation before Ash heads home. I wouldve prefered Ash winning the Kalos league since it felt right compared to this region and for Ash to come this far and win at a region that formed a league for the class and other trainers seems wrong for Ash to win and thats a huge if at this point with it always continuing. If sword and shield wants to prove me wrong, I want to see Ash traveling with both protagonists so the male protag could have a chance in the anime.
If not, He doesn't have to travel with galor character like usual even if I'm expecting it except with both protagonists for galor but that eill never be...so they could still have him in the anime as a trainer along the years type depending on age they put him as*instant cringe*who tells the newcoming kanto trainer(s) all the exciting moments they would be part of
Capsule corp...
Despite looking like hardly any food was gone, Beerus angrily stood up urging for more and it seemed like he wouldn't take no for an answer.
"Hey! Bring lots more helpings! We might perish so I need to eat all I can before tournament day!" says Beerus before sitting back down.
"Yes sir!" chant the pilaf gang carrying a huge bucket of meat to the table.
"Here you go!" say Pilaf and Shu setting the huge bucket of meat om the table.
"Hmmmph! I have to act like this is my last meal, so I will be going all out." says Beerus grabbing some meat with his chopsticks.
Beerus began chowing down on the small bucket of meat.
"Dad, looks like we have someone else to protect now." says Gohan looking at Goku.
"Yeah. We are definately gonna win the tournament of power." says Goku nodding to Gohan.
"Yeah." says Gohan nodding.
Ash cleared his throat to get Gohan and Goku's attention.
"But first we have to see how long it takes to defeat universe 6." says Goku smiling at Ash.
"It wont be as easy as you think." says Ash smirking.
"Ash, lets head to Krillin's place. Im sure he would love to train you one last time." says Goku looking at Ash.
"Kindve weird to have you guys train me before I see the other teammates of mine." says Ash walking up to Goku and Gohan.
"Its a nice refresher getting to train with us even if you dont need too." says Goku setting a hand on Ash's shoulder.
"Dad, Ill come by later to check things out." says Gohan.
Goku and Ash took to the sky and flew off to Krillin's house with Gohan wondering if it was safest to do it this way as he watched the duo get out of sight. Before Gohan could go about doing his own thing, Yamcha backed away from the table to stand infront of Gohan and get in on the secrets.
"What's this tournament of power?" wonders Yamcha curiously.
"Ehhhhhhhh...we...were you listening?!" wonders Gohan taken back.
"Yeah." says Yamcha.
"Well, actually..." says Gohan awkwardly.
After some insight toward what was really going on, Yamcha's mouth went agape trying to come up with a reply but couldnt say anything.
"Thats pretty much it." says Gohan.
"They went to recruit Krillin?!" wonders Yamcha annoyed.
"I wouldn't say that in so many words." says Gohan.
"So, theres ten warriors per universe and if you win the tournament of power, you will get a wish granted like the tournament universe 6 and our universe had?" wonders Yamcha excitedly.
"Yes. With the super dragon balls anything could happen." says Gohan.
"Hmmmmmm...ten members huh? If ten are needed, I'm sure to get an invite." says Yamcha pondering who all would be on the team.
"I dont think-"
"Hold on a moment. I should just refuse at first then cooly show up before the tournament." says Yamcha.
"Theres no telling who will come to Go-"
Yamcha was imagining how his appearance for the tournament of power would go and chuckled eagerly while Gohan sweat dropped akwardly smiling.
"Talk about a true hero! I should wait for them to come to my place snd recruite me." says Yamcha.
Yamcha ignored Gohan's twitching smile and with eager anticipation, turned to face everyone at the table Bulma was sitting at.
"Hey Bulma. Sorry to run but I have important business to take care of. I'll come back again." says Yamcha waving to her.
Yamcha scurried off with the bowl of meat then took to the sky to head home ensuring himself he would be picked.
"Yamcha is such a busy person." says Gohan.
"Bulla huh?" wonders Vegeta looking down at Bulla.
Bulla happily closed her eyes, giggling at Vegeta as his frown turned to a smile looking at his baby girl.
"Well...its not a half bad name." says Vegeta.
Bulma chuckled at the sight of Vegeta with their daughter.
Sky...
It has been some time since Goku and Ash left to search for Krillin and hear a distant voice coming their way.
"Dad, I'm here." says Gohan's voice.
Soon Gohan makes it to Ash and Goku and notices Goku and Ash look back at him smiling, with Ash waving to him.
"Right. Krillin's that way!" says Goku.
Krillin, Ash, Goku and Gohan...
"Honestly.." says Krillin huffing.
"You saved me." says a woman happily looking at Krillin.
"Are you alright?" wonders Krillin looking at the woman.
"Yes I am. Thank you very much." says the woman.
"This town has an awful lot of robbers, so be careful and stay away from trouble." says Krillin.
Krillin leaves the scene on his hover police motorcycle the same moment the trio arrived to the city. Krillin had been doing so much police work that he never noticed the trio land near them.
"Hey Krillin! Looks like you're working hard!" says Goku.
"Ash! Goku! Gohan too!" says Krillin happily looking at the trio.
"What does that mean?" wonders Gohan.
"Nothing! Id expect this more from Goku. Maybe Ash but more from Goku." says Krillin.
"Its good to see you too Krillin. Its been awhile." says Gohan.
"Theres two things we need talk about." says Ash.
"Do you have some time?" wonders Gohan.
"Uhhh sure." says Krillin.
Krillins house...
Android 18 sneezes and gets suspiscious of who could be talking about her.
"Either I have a cold or someone is talking about me." says Android 18 doing the dishes.
Soon Android 18 notices Krillin come home with company but isnt too surpsied to see Ash, Goku and Gohan there.
"Shouldnt you be at work?" wonders Android 18.
"I have the rest of the day off." says Krillin.
"You mean to say you took the rest of the day off?" wonders Android 18.
"I cant work with these guys distracting me." says Krillin.
"We have urgent news." says Gohan.
After some chatting, Krillin washt sure how to take the news about the tournament of power.
"So not only do we need to recreate what happened when we met Ash from the time Gohan, Piccolo and I trained him as well as need me to be part of a team of 10." says Krillin.
"Pretty much, yeah." says Goku.
"From what I gather, no weapons, flight, or killing. It can only be ringouts only. A battle royal with a ten member team and we are stuck with one of universe 6s teammates. That might just be doable." says Krillin.
"Then its settled. Once we retrain Ash, we can train as we please." says Goku.
"Yeah, just ship me away so you can do your training in peace while I won't know how the fighters of universe 6 will be like." says Ash crossing his arms unamused.
"Lets focus on the fun of training then go fom there." says Gohan.
"Then its settled. Training is the best part of tournaments! ...or in Ashs case, league." says Goku.
"But marking my return with such a big tournament is scary. I prefer a spar to see where Ash is at compared to making Ash anew." says Krillin.
"Im pretty sure I remember some things. Sadly, im not sure if they are right or not. You can be sure of it right?" says Ash pondering.
"We dont have much time until it starts so choose quickly." says Goku looking at Krillin.
"Hmmmm...you put me in a bind. Im pretty sure I have a the next two days off." says Krillin.
"Go ahead and enter. Otherwise, all that stuff upstairs will go to waste." says android 18.
"Dont call my workout stuff a waste." says Krillin bummed.
"Why train your body if you are never going into action?" wonders Android 18 looking at Krillin.
"Action isnt my thing these days. Just policework." says Krillin.
"Android 18." says Goku.
"Just collecting equipment is pointless." says Android 18.
"Say 18, would you enter the tournament of power too?" wonders Goku.
"No." says Android 18.
"No?" wonders Gohan.
"Im not doing it for free. I have Marron to take care of." says Android 18.
"You can leave her at Bulma's place. Its lots of fun. They even have an amusement park snd an aquarium." says Goku.
"Yay!" says Marron happily.
"Why go that far? Tournament or not, its just a game and games are boring without a catch." says Android 18.
"We...well...yeah, to some people." says Goku looking at Android 18.
"Is telling them the world will end if we lose a bad thing?" wonders Goku leaning toward Gohan.
"Yes it is." says Gohan frowning.
"Hey. Whats with all the whispering?" says Android 18.
Goku and Gohan went quiet looking at Android 18 then sweat dropped looking at Ash who sweat dropped back with his mouth twitching.
"Tell me what you wanna whisper about in secret." says Android 18.
"No...nothing! Nothing at all!" say Goku and Gohan.
"Seems like something." says Android 18 glaring at Goku and Gohan.
"Its a lot to take in on the spot." says Ash.
"By the way Ash worded that, there must be something going on." says Android 18.
"We arent hiding anything. What I wanna know is how long we keep Ash until we force Whis to take Ash to universe 6. Nothing but that." says Goku fidgeting.
"Rude." says Ash looking at Goku unamused.
"Not much we can do anyway. Hehehe..." says Goku awkwardly.
"Mmmmmmhmmmm." mutters Ash.
"Uhhhhhh...ooooo, before I forget, if we win we get 10 million zeni!" says Goku trying to seem happier.
"Thats only 1 million per fighter." says Android 18.
"Did I say that? I meant 10 million zeni per fighter." says Goku.
"That would be impressive." says Android 18.
"Right?" wonders Goku.
"Is that true?" wonders Android 18.
"Im not lying!" says Goku.
"Wait, then if universe 6 wins, Ash wins 10 million zeni and I cant have that happening." says Android 18.
"This is some tricky stuff." says Ash looking at Gohan.
"Trying to figure it out won't do us any good." says Gohan.
"Oh well. The prize is 10 million zeni. I wont accept anything less." says Android 18.
"Really?" wonders Gohan.
"I'll enter." says Android 18 happily.
"Alright! Having Android 18 in the tournament will be a big relief!" says Goku happily.
"Man, my invite better not be incidental to your recruiting Android 18, would it?" wonders Krillin leaning back.
"That's not it!" says Goku looking at Krillin.
"Thats what im getting from this." says Krillin seeing Goku hold out hid hand to him.
"So, will you enter?" wonders Goku.
"Yeah, me too." says Krillin grabbing Gokus hand.
"Just a moment." says Gohan.
"Huh?" wonders Ash.
"Please?" wonders Gohan.
"What's up?" wonders Krillin.
"Krillin, I have a request. If Ash gets to practice his techniques, we have to feel like we are gonna fall out of the ring." says Gohan.
Wasteland...
"I get it. This makes a great place for a practice match." says Krillin.
"Alright Ash, time to show us how you go all out." says Gohan.
"Hold up, what?" wonders Ash.
"Im sorry to test you but now might be your only chance to have us teach you in a short time." says Gohan.
"But piccolo-"
"Start off with us and see where it gets you." says Gohan.
"The match will be a battle royal with friends and enemies fighting at once. So its you verses Krillin and me." says Gohan.
"What about Goku?" wonders Ash.
"You will know when he decides to be part of this." says Gohan.
"So you dont wanna chwck out the current power between us?" wonders Ash.
"You im debatable with but I need to focus on Krillin and dad." says Gohan looking at Ash.
"Lets all take on Ash before we spar by ourselves. Our worries will have to wait until we get to the tournament. Whatever worries are current, we have to try to brush to the back of our mind." says Krillin.
"You two can spar. I will be near Android 18, Marron and Goku imagining how well id do against you guys in the tournament." says Ash heading over to Krillin's family and Goku.
"Since when do you image train?" wonders Krillin.
"If I had an idea of what these universe 6 fighters looked like, I could image train while Gohan and you spar. I couldve had Whis send me back so I could image train while being with my class or while looking for these so called warriors." says Ash.
"Whis is better off calling Vados about your situation." says Gohan.
Ash shook his head sighing then flew over to Goku with Krillin's family and sat down with his legs crossed and eyes closed. Goku reverted his eyes, looking at Android 18 who focused her sight on Gohan and Krillin then at Ash who was going to be ignoring everyone so he could get an idea of how the fights would go.
"I would love to know why dad chose Krillin to be in the tournament. Maybe we should test out image training before actually sparing." thinks Gohan starring down at Krillin.
"I told him Krillin would be fine." says Goku.
"Something still doesnt seem right. Gohan seems too serious for a world tournament setting." says Android 18.
"Gohan just wants the zeni! There was practically 100 million zeni being heard." says Goku looking at Android 18.
"I thought you said 10 million zeni! Wasnt it 10 million zeni?!" says Android 18 looking at Goku suspiciously.
"We shouldnt keep Ash from getting distracted. Looks like Gohan and Krillin are about to start." says Goku awkwardly.
"Hmmmmmm?" wonders Amdroid 18 frowning.
"Krillin, make sure you can take on Gohan and win so Gohan wont think my choice seemed pointless!" says Goku happily pumping his fist in the air.
"Why do you wanna cheer dad on?" wonders Marron.
"Huh? Uuuuuhhhhh, you can keep up with Krillin Gohan! Just dont make this boring!" says Goku.
After making sure the gi was tied tightly around him, Krillin got into fighting position.
"I appreciate us doing this." says Gohan.
"Before we start, I just wanna say one thing. This match isnt a no-rules fight to the death. Its a martial arts tournament with proper rules." says Krillin.
"I know." says Gohan.
"Gohan, do you really understand what that means?" wonders Krillin to himself.
There was cheering being heard from Marron while Ash was depicting how well what he recalled of techniques could prove to get him far in the tournament. It didnt do him much good but he had to think positive if he planned on being the last one to leave the fighting arena for universe 6. Since he didnt know who or what to expect for the universe 6 team, he figured he would test his strength on the z warriors starting with Krillin.
~Ash's flashback/image training~
It seemed dark as Ash tuned out the cheering voices of Goku and Krillin's family. An image of Ash wearing his z attire from when he first sppeared appeared having the vast void of darkness all around him. It was a bit confusing at first as Krillin appeared afterward acting like he did when they were in the hyperbolic time chamber.
"Time to train you to be like us. You up for it?" says Krillin.
Ash was skeptical at first but rolled with it as the time chamber formed around the duo.
"Strange but doable." says Ash.
"Focus on what I am doing. No distractions so we can see where we can put you when we add you to the z fighters." says Krillin getting into position.
"Not much to focus on except how tense it feels in here." says Ash looking around.
"Keep your sights on me so you can test it out yourself." says Krillin.
Krillin stood infront of him, standing sideways with cupped hands drawn to his side and concentrating his ki between their cupped hands.
"See what I'm doing? Follow suit." says Krillin.
Ash got into the same position, doing as Krillin did putting his cupped hands to his side, concentrating his ki so it would go between his hands.
"Once the blue light appears, thrust your hands forward so the light will be shot away from the housing side." says Krillin.
Krillin and Ash's hands are then thrust forward to shoot out a streaming, powerful beam of energy the moment they stood infront of the housing part of the time chamber.
"Not bad but not good." says Krillin.
"Would you prefer I aimed the kamehameha that suspiciously seems like aura sphere at you?" wonders Ash smirking amused.
"Errrrrrrr..." says Krillin.
"Well, what would you prefer we do?" wonders Ash raising an eyebrow.
"Here, lets see if you have ki." says Krillin standing straight.
"Of course I have aura. Sir Aaron had aura, so I should beable to use it too." says Ash contemplating how the day he learned he had aura went.
"Show me." says Krillin curiously.
"I dont have it anymore. It was a one time thing." says Ash itching his cheek.
"If you can create a tiny beam of ki, you must still have it hidden inside you." says krillin.
"I only have you Piccolo and Gohan to prove it too and even then I'm skeptical of my family tree. With only my mom to live with, that doesnt give me much options for possible family members. Saying Sir Aaron was my ancestor, that puts me in a position to be a distant cousin of Riley's granted he might be part of my family. Hard to say when one goes from one region to the next urging for the championship yet getting nilch." says Ash crossing his arms unamused.
"Lets stop you right there before you start assuming things that make you crazy. If you are able to use ki...aura like this Sir Aaron guy then you might be one of us. A super human like Tien, Yamcha and myself." says Krillin eyeing Ash with concern while trying to figure out who Ash would best fit in with.
Reality...
Gohan knocks Krillin back, who immediately flies in front of the sun and uses his new technique, Solar Flare x100, and Gohan is still blinded despite having his eyes closed.
"How is Ash not squinting? Its too bright to see." says Goku shielding his eyes.
"Hes too focused on training to care. Heres a pair of sunglasses." says Android 18 handing Goku the sunglasses.
"Thanks. Wonder what Ash is using image training for?" says Goku looking at Ash whos eyes were twitching.
While Gohan is blind and also unable to sense Krillin's ki, Krillin attacks him and knocks him into the water, and Gohan stops himself from falling in.
"Haha! Youre out of bounds! I call it Solar flare x100." says Krillin looking at Gohan.
"Solar flare x100...huh. Thats an amazing attack!" says Gohan turning to face Krillin.
Gohan flies back over to Krillin and lands below him.
"Krillin you have taught me a lesson." says Gohan.
"It doesnt really work if I show you everything I have up my sleeve." says Krillin.
"Yay! Daddy won first round!" says Marron happily.
"That mountain of exercise equipment wasnt a waste after all." says Android 18 impressed.
Goku heard Ash mumble something to himself and glanced at Ash who seemed to be talking to the person in his head.
"Ok Marron, lets head home. We saw your father in action amd he seems to be all for it." says Android 18 looking at Marron.
"Ok!" says Marron looking up.
Goku looked back over at where Gohan and Krillin stood amused by the way the practice fight went.
"Krillin..." says Goku happily.
"Huh?" wonders Android 18 looking at Goku.
"Not bad." says Goku.
"Not bad what? He only used one technique." says Android 18.
Goku smirked amused while Android 18 was looking from Goku to Gohan and Krillin while they talked.
"Am I missing something here?" wonders Android 18.
"Its safe to say I admit defeat." says Gohan falling to his knees.
"Well, I should apologize for forcing you to let your guard down. Im not bad, am I Gohan?" says Krillin.
Silence filled the air.
"Gohan?" wonders Krillin.
"Huh?" wonders Gohan.
"Lets get stronger together again. Lets use our heads, try harder, and get hundreds of times stronger. Lets win the tournament of power. With my skill snd experience and your it'll be a snap!" says Krillin.
"Krillin...I really am inexperienced. Thank you very much." says Gohan.
"Think nothing of it." says Krillin.
As Gohan stood up straight, Krillin glanced back at Goku as if to confirm that he will be in the tournament of power.
"Goku, I will be joining the team and take part in the tournament of power. I look forward to it." says Krillin turning to face Goku.
~Ashs flashback/image training~
It was Gohans turn to take Ash on and like Krillin before him, Gohan was staring at Ash intensely as he got into position and immidiately aimed the attacks he taught Ash at him. Gohan started off with the sparring tactics he taught him but were never used again, ultimate knuckle and explosive demon impact. Ash was barely able to dodge as the attacks hit him straight on. By the looks of things, Gohan either landed A single punch with the back of his fist used to stun Ash then charged at Ash and roundhouse kicked him in the face. Then, Gohan charged at Ash again and hook kicked him away, inflicting a high amount of damage. Gohan seemed quiet for the most part as he got into position to use kamehameha. Ash, being caught off guard attempted to do the same but was slammed to the floor of the hyperbolic time chamber. Ash wasnt sure what to think but he readied his own Kamehameha.
"Kaaaaaaaaameeeeeee...haaaaaaaameeeee..." says Ash as an orb of blue light gleamed between his hands.
Even though there was no noise coming from Gohan, he too had a glowing blue orb between his hands.
"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" yells Ash as he thrust the beam of light at Gohan.
Eerily, like Goku, Gohan instant transmissioned out of Ashs sight and upon reappearing, smirked amused behind Ash who gasped and quickly turned around. Before Ash could do anything Gohan slammed his elbow into Ashs stomach causing him to back away as he clutched his belly.
"You need to be serious if you want to take us on in the tournament of power. This of me as the enemy who wont go easy on you." says Gohan staring down at Ash unamused after what felt like hours of silent battling.
~reality~
"Lets change locations." says Goku.
"Huh?" wonders Krillin.
"You really are an amazing guy. I wanna try you too." says Goku.
skyscraper with a helicopter landing pad...
Without Ash realizing it, Goku brought Gohan and krillin's family to the roof of the Satan building.
"I talked with Hercule. We can go all out here." says Goku.
"Ok." says Krillin.
"Dad, dont forget!" says Gohan.
"Forget what?" wonders Goku.
"We don't have much time before the tournament of power!" says Gohan.
"I know!" says Goku looking back at Gohan.
"If I think you are going to far, I will have to stop you." says Gohan sternly.
"Got it!" says Goku.
"Thats if Ash doesnt realize we left him." thinks Krillin.
"Im counting on you too." says Krillin smiling at Goku.
"Hold on a minute! Get Ash here! If Gohan is taking a break, Krillin should too! He shouldnt fight again after taking on Gohan! You can fight some other time." says Android 18 worriedly.
"Dont stop me." says Krillin.
"Huh?" wonders Android 18 stunned.
"Bring Ash here, if you really wsnt someone else to fight Goku but right now I want to fight." says Krillin.
"Dont get cocky! Solar flare x100 is a surprise attack. It wont work if you continuously use it! Goku needs a sparring partner thats on his level! You eill lose when going up against Goku!" says Android 18.
"I know...I know it all too well how this might end up." says Krillin nodding.
"Mommy, is daddy gonna be all right?" wonders Marron looking up at android 18.
"Hes fine." says Android 18.
"If you wanna watch how wel Krillin does, I can get Ash." says Gohsn looking at Android 18.
"Honestly..." says Android 18 sighing as she set a hand on her forehead.
"You cant stop him. You being a warrioir too, must understand why he wants this." says Gohan.
"I fully unserstand! I understand perfectly, but what about poor Krillin?! Whoever he goes up against, training or at the tournament, he will be seen as weak! Always and forever weak..." says Android 18 trying not to feel sad.
"Mommy..." says Marron saddening.
Android 18 frowned looking down at Marron who looked worried for her father.
"...is...is daddy gonna lose?" wonders Marron.
"Dont worry. Daddy will never lose. Daddy always finds a way to win." says Android 18 smiling.
"Really?" wonders Marron.
"Yes! Krillin dont you lose!" says Android 18 going from looking at Marron to lookng at Goku and Krillin.
"Daddy you can do it!" says Marron.
"We're using the same rules as the tournament of power right?" wonders Krillin.
"Yeah!" says Goku.
After a few minutes of silence, with Krillin and Goku eyeing eachother, they could hear Gohan take to the air to bring Ash to them. Gohan zoomed away from the others getting further and further away until he was out of sight. At the same time, Krillin recalls his match with Goku in the 22nd World Martial Arts Tournament many years ago.
"This makes me remember our match at the 22nd world tournament." thinks Krillin.
~flashback~
"Goku!" says Krillin looking at Goku.
"Huh?" wonders Goku looking at Krillin.
"If you hold back at all, I will never forgive you." says Krillin.
"Yeah, of course." says Goku happily.
Goku and Krillin grin chuckling while fist bumping.
~reality~
The moment Goku and Krillin fist bump, it begins raining causing Android 18 to hand Marron an umbrella.
"Mommy..." says Maroon looking up at Amdroid 18.
Krillin and Goku back away from eachother, getting into position to fight.
Inside capsule corp...
In one of the rooms, where Whis could be by himself, was chatting to Vados who was a bit surprised to hear that a person from her universe was in universe 7.
'Did I hear you right? Beerus and you took one of the humans from my universe's earth because of evildoers?' wonders Vados.
"It wasnt intentional. He was living on universe 7 earth when we found out about the boy. Hes been going between the area he ventured too and hanging with Goku and friends then we snuck into your universe to get the boy to help them take on the enemies. But this time, since we were so used to it, brought him to universe 7 earth. I will take him back to universe 6 earth so he can be with his friends and wait for one of your fighters to come to him." says Whis.
'Champa is already on bad terms with Beerus and now I will have to tell him what youve been secretly doing.' says Vados.
"You wont have to say anything. Beerus knows that I was bound to call you to tell you about the boy named Ash. I was originally going to call and tell you we would be bringing one of your warriors but since we all need 10 each, Im better off taking Ash to his earth and you guys will have ten warriors for the tournament of power. It'd be a shame if you chose 10 warriors and we brought Ash expecting you to have 9." says Whis sweat dropping.
skyscraper with a helicopter landing pad...
Once they got into position, Krillin fires a number of Destructo Discs at Goku, who dodges them and as he attacks, Krillin prepares to use Solar Flare. While Goku braces himself, Krillin reveals to have faked the attack and fires energy blasts at Goku, also controlling his Destructo Discs to attack him from different angles. Goku barely dodges the attacks and destroys the discs with his own blasts, and Krillin charges and fires another blast, intending to push Goku off of the building. Goku cancels out the blast and goes Super saiyan, then scanned around for where Krillin was hiding himself.
Wasteland...
~Ashs image training of tournament of power~
It was Vegeta, Piccolo, Gohan, Goku and Krillin going up against Ash who was scanning the positions of the z fighters around him. Krillin was getting into position to do something. Ash tilted his head in confusion as he focused on what Krillin was doing. Krillin bends down as he brings his arms to his sides and charges up. Ash then noticed Vegeta cracking his neck snd knuckles, smirking at Ash sinisterly. Ash wasnt afraid of getting brutally injured but if they were jumping st the chance to help each other out, he was really out numbered. Ash slowly backed away keeping his sights on the move Krillin was using. It looked like he was screwed as it seemed like Krillin was happy to show a move he never really used. Krillin brought his hands forward and fired two reddish-orange energy waves that seemed to follow Ash like homing missiles no matter how much he got a good distance away.
Ash got into position to aim a Kamehameha at the missilelike enegy waves when a certain saiyan came up behind him and starts the attack by knocking Ash away with an uppercut, then uses a flying dash to get around behind Ash to deliver an aerial version of Amazing Impact's double kick to send Ash flying away again, then flies up into the air to deliver the Double Axe Handle portion of Amazing Impact knocking Ash into the ground, before powering up with his arms & legs outstretched like a star, then performs a double fist flying charge (similar to Nova Strike) to presumably finish off the helpless Ash Ketchum. Before Ash could do anything, Vegeta deviously charges at Ash and kicks him up into the air. Then, Vegeta flies up in the air after Ash and immobilizes him with a hand chop to his ribs. Finally, Vegeta puts his hand over the Ashs face and blasts him away with an energy wave, inflicting a huge amount of damage.
"This was the best idea ever." says Vegeta cackling.
Ash was growling at Vegeta not noticing the missile energy waves heading toward the two and explode on impact causing Vegeta to get injured slightly and Ash to be severely injured thanks to the breaking bones he had to endure.
A voice was being heard but noone was around him aside from Vegeta. It was faint but it was obviously someone he knew and the voice was getting louder as everything disappeared into blackness with only him looking around trying to make sense of why someone acted him they needed him unless...
'Ash, I feel bad for taking you here when you are needed on your earth so I am willing to take you back so you can be chosen to take on the fighters of this universe.' says Whis' voice.
~reality~
Ashs eyes twitched hearing a voice coming from around him yet his minds eye saw noone, not a soul.
"Ash, whatever you are doing, I need you to stop and look at me." says Whis.
"Hmmmm?" wonders Ash keeping his eyes closed.
"Ash, do you hear me? I need you to open your eyes and look my way." says Whis.
Ash slowly opened his eyes unsure if he was hearing things then fell to his side startled to see Whis without Beerus.
"I take it you werent planning on it." says Whis lookig down at Ash.
"Not in the slightest." says Ash sitting up.
"Its only fair since you weren't supposed to come with us." says Whis.
"Isnt that obvious?" wonders Ash standing up.
skyscraper with a helicopter landing pad...
Krillin takes the time to hide behind the debris and masks his ki. Goku finds him and exposes him.
"Impressive." says Krillin flipping behind Goku.
"Hes actually doing well." says Android 18 amazed.
"Daddy amazing!" says Marron happily.
"So whats next?" wonders Goku.
"How sbout this?" wonders Krillin smirking.
"Huh?" wonders Goku.
The floor under Goku slices apart, and Goku barely saves himself from falling.
"Awwww man! So close!" says Krillin bummed.
"When did you do that?" wonders Goku.
"I launched a small fourth destructo disc and sliced it earlier." says Krillin.
"The three destructo discs were a distraction?" wonders Goku impressed.
"Pretty much." says Krillin.
Wasteland...
It had been some time since Whis and Ash were there and Gohan arrived to see nor sense anyone. Gohan opted that Ash went looking for them but itd be easier with instant transmission so that couldnt be it. Gohan sensed around for the direction Ash couldve went in in case he decided to fly yet his ki was nowhere around. Gohan knew Ash was here trying out image training so logically he would still be there. He was lost in confusion until one being came to mind, Whis but why would Whis need Ash when they were talking about renewing his techniques.
"Whis...what are you thinking of doing behind Beerus' and our backs?" wonders Gohan to himself.
Gohan shook the thoughts out of his head and flew back to the skyscraper.
skyscraper with a helicopter landing pad...
Gohan was back yet was alone as Android 18 and Marron watched him looking annoyed as he landed next to them.
"What happened to getting Ash?" wonders Android 18.
"Hes not where we left him. I cant sense him so he might not be on earth." says Gohan.
"What?" wonders Android 18 wide eyed, looking at Gohan.
"Im sure its nothing to worry about. Lets focus on the tournament." says Gohan.
"What do you mean?" wonders Android 18.
"Its the tournament of 'power' but such battles of the mind are necessary." says Gohan.
"Yeah, if you run into a fight without a plan, you screw yourself and your teammates by losing right away." says Android 18.
Goku then reverts back to base then goes Super Saiyan Blue, and Krillin feels the intense pressure but remains strong.
"What will you do now Krillin?" wonders Goku getting into fighting position.
"Super saiyan blue...Ive seen it up close many times, but now that im standing against it as sn opponent, I can feel an amazing pressure." says Krillin trembling up as he got into fighting position.
"The difference in power...Krillin has a plan right?" wonders Gohan.
"No." says Android 18.
"Huh?" wonders Gohan looking at Android 18.
"In a one on one battle with Goku having that kind of power, theres nothing he could do. But the tournament of power is a royal battle right?" says Android 18.
"Yeah?" wonders Gohan nodding.
"Daddy! You can do it!" says Marron.
"Say goku? Isnt this fun?" wonders Krillin.
"Yeah." says Goku.
Krillin and Goku each charge a Kamehameha. The two energy blasts collide, and Krillin is being pushed back from Goku's bigger beam. Krillin is saved by 18, who forces Goku to direct the beam into the sky.
"Krillin!" says Android 18 worriedly holding Krillin.
Krillin was breathing heavily, looking at his shaking hands as he opened wnd closed them.
"Wow it feels like an electric shock!" says Krillin amazed.
Krillin noticed Android 18 set her nadn on his, calming him down a bit then looked at her curiously.
"18...in the middle of the match..." says Krillin.
"Not yet." says Android 18.
"Huh?" wonders Krillin.
"The match is not over yet." says Android 18.
"Android 18..." says Gohan with his arms around an excited Marron.
"Mommy! Daddy!" says Marron happily.
"Hey goku! This match isn't a bo rules fight to the death. Its a martial arts tournament with proper rules! The tournament is a battle royal. Then you wont always fight one on one." says Android 18 annoyed.
"18..." says Krillin looking at android 18.
"If you cant beat him alone, you team up with someone. You have a plan if we work together right?" says Android 18.
"Yeah!" says Krillin happily.
"Now come at us!" say Android 18 and Krillin getting into position.
"You can have Gohan join if you want." says Krillin.
Goku turns back to base confusing Krillin and Android 18 who wted to try two verses one in battle.
"Thats enough." says Goku happily.
"Goku, are you conceding victory?" wonders Krillin.
"Thats not it!" says Goku.
"It looks like I dont really understand this tournament. Just imagining what would've happened in I entered is frightening. It lookd like I still have to learn a lot fom both of you." says Goku.
Goku turned his head to look back at Gohan who was just as lst as Krillin adn Android 18.
"Gohan, you better learn too." says Goku.
"Yes!" says Gohan nodding.
