Goten and His Uncle Calorie
"Okay, Brother Gohan." Kale nodded.
The two left the research institute and took to the sky.
"But how are we going to tell Uncle Goku? We can't get in touch with him, can we?" Kale turned to ask Gohan. "I don't know where Uncle Goku has been all these years. We've hardly heard from him."
"If all else fails, we'll have to ask Uncle Luo Tian for help," Gohan said thoughtfully.
"Okay, if it's Uncle Luo Tian, he'll definitely be able to find Uncle Goku." Kale indicated that she understood.
"Let's go find Uncle Krillin first and ask him if he wants to participate in the competition?" Gohan suggested.
The next moment, the two transformed into two bright streaks of light and sped towards Master Roshi's island.
Not long after, Gohan and Kale descended from the sky and landed on the island.
"Huh? You guys are going to participate in the World Martial Arts Tournament?" Krillin was surprised.
It's worth mentioning that Krillin has grown his hair out, but he hasn't grown much taller.
On Master Roshi's island, besides Krillin, there is also Android 21, and the child born to Krillin and Android 21.
The couple's child, whom Krillin named Maron, was a cute little girl with golden braids.
The little girl looks very similar to Android 21.
In addition, Android 16 also lives here, living with Krillin and the others.
Master Roshi also lives here, since this is his home.
However, Master Roshi sometimes seems quite speechless.
For a time, Master Roshi would come home to find Krillin, Android 21, Maron, and Android 16 huddled together on the sofa watching TV, enjoying a happy family time.
Master Roshi felt uneasy, as if he were an outsider.
This is my home!
Krillin is really going too far!
They actually brought their whole family to stay with me!
You should at least let me have some fun with your wife!
This makes me feel a little better.
However, Master Roshi only thought about it; he wouldn't dare to touch Android 21.
Fortunately, living under the same roof, Master Roshi can sometimes feast his eyes.
For example, someone accidentally wandered into the bathroom where Android 21 was taking a shower...
Master Roshi, of course, simply pretended it wasn't intentional...
I was so angry on the Android 21, there was nothing I could do.
Master Roshi couldn't help but admire Android 21's stunning figure.
As expected of an artificial human, it has been modified to be perfectly.
This person, Android 21, should be quite old, but she's maintained her appearance so well... wow...
Master Roshi sometimes drools even when he's sleeping.
Because he could often see beautiful scenery, Master Roshi agreed to let Krillin stay with him.
"Is Goku participating?" Master Roshi asked, wiping his drool.
"I haven't told my dad yet, but he'll probably participate," Gohan replied.
"It's been a long time since I've seen Goku. That kid doesn't even come to pay his respects to me," Master Roshi sighed. "My disciple has grown up and doesn't care about his master anymore."
"Master Mutaito, don't you still have me? I'm your disciple too, and I spend every day with you." Krillin chuckled.
"Krillin is the most sensible one." Master Roshi patted Krillin's shoulder meaningfully, then smacked his lips and looked at Android 21 beside him.
Android 21's face darkened.
What kind of look is that?
Why do I notice something strange about your eyes?
"I also want to participate in the World Martial Arts Tournament, but with Goku, Gohan Vegeta Kale, I have no chance of winning at all," Krillin said in a deep voice.
"Uncle Krillin should participate," Kale advised.
"Yes, the top five will receive a prize." Gohan nodded.
"How much is the prize money?" asked Android 21.
"The champion gets 10 million, the runner-up gets 5 million, the third place gets 3 million, the fourth place gets 2 million, and the fifth place gets 1 million." Gohan to each of them.
"Krillin, join! I'll join too!" Android 21 was extremely excited.
"Okay." Krillin nodded.
"I'll participate too. It's time to earn some money for my family," replied Android 16.
"I want to participate too..." Master Roshi was tempted.
Gohan: "..."
Kale: "..."
The two looked at each other in silence.
"Gohan, don't tell King Piccolo about this, or my chances of making it into the top five will be even lower," Krillin suggested.
"That won't do." Gohan shook his head. "Uncle Piccolo is my closest relative."
"Closer than your father?" Krillin asked with a smile.
"That's true in some cases." Gohan nodded seriously.
Krillin was speechless.
A brief silence.
"But why are you two dressed so strangely?" Krillin looked at Gohan and then at Kale, somewhat puzzled.
"Isn't this cool? Uncle Krillin's taste is getting worse and worse." Gohan said to Krillin with his hands on his hips and a smile.
"He is very handsome." Kale agreed with Gohan's words.
"But..." Krillin said, pulling Gohan aside and lowering his voice to ask in his ear, "How Gohan? What about you and Kale ..."
"Me and Kale? What happened between us?" Gohan didn't react.
"Are you two like this?" Krillin inserted his index finger into his other hand, revealing a strange smile.
Gohan: "???"
Gohan didn't quite understand.
"You two are adults, right?" Krillin scratched his head.
"We're only 16 years old, and we still have two years before we become adults," Gohan replied.
"Never mind then, forget I said anything." Krillin was very disappointed and pondered, "However, given Chi-Chi's personality, there probably won't be much progress before the two of you graduate."
"I still don't understand what Uncle Krillin is saying," Gohan shook his head.
"You'll understand later, keep it up." Krillin chuckled.
"It's getting late, Kale and I still need to go see Uncle Piccolo," Gohan said, taking his leave.
"Go ahead, go ahead," Krillin waved his hand.
Gohan and Kale bid farewell to Krillin and Master Roshi, flew into the sky, and sped towards the Lookout.
Upon arriving at the Lookout, Gohan met Piccolo, Dende, and Mr. Popo, and told them about the World Martial Arts Tournament.
"Really? That's interesting." Piccolo smiled and nodded. "Okay, I'll participate."
"Dende, how are you? Want to join us?" Gohan asked politely.
"I can't, because I'm not a combat-type Namekian," Dende politely declined with a smile.
"Gohan, Kale, why are you two dressed so strangely?" Piccolo looked at Gohan and Kale with a puzzled expression.
"Uncle Piccolo, don't you think this outfit is cool?" Gohan chuckled.
"Where has Goku been all these years? We haven't heard from him at all," Piccolo asked again.
"I don't know where Dad went, but he said he got some kind of ring that can travel through time, so maybe he'll go to Trunks' timeline." Gohan.
"A ring that allows you to travel through time?" Piccolo was taken aback.
"It was given to Dad by Uncle Luo Tian. He said it was the standard equipment for the Supreme Kai," Gohan added.
Piccolo: "..."
Didn't Luo Tian say he was going to train me to become Supreme Kai?
Why don't I have the standard equipment of Supreme Kai?
Luo Tian, you really do treat people differently.
"Uncle Piccolo, don't worry, that kind of thing will come eventually," Gohan comforted him.
Piccolo nodded slightly, inwardly complaining but not too concerned.
After all, my current strength is far from enough. Once I improve my strength, I'll figure out how to get the standard equipment of these Supreme Kai.
"You said your father went to Trunks' timeline? Why did he have to go to that timeline?" Piccolo asked, puzzled.
"Dad trained with the Supreme Kais of the Universe 6 in Trunks' timeline last time. He probably wanted to continue training, so he went there," Gohan guessed. "But these are just my speculations. As for which timeline Dad went to, I don't know. I'll ask Uncle Luo Tian when I see him. Uncle Luo Tian should know where Dad is, right?"
Piccolo nodded slightly and said no more.
Afterwards, Gohan and Kale left the Lookout and flew towards Mount Paozu.
"I wonder where Tien Shinhan and Chiaotzu are?" Gohan muttered to himself.
"I don't know. Tien Shinhan said back then that we might not see each other much in the future," Kale replied.
"He did say that." Gohan nodded slightly.
"And Uncle Yamcha, should we inform him?" Kale asked again.
"It's getting late, we can just make a call and let them know," Gohan suggested.
"Hmm." Kale.
"However, if we really want to participate in the World Martial Arts Tournament, we must find a way to win the championship," Gohan pondered. "So let's not go to school for now and train properly, otherwise we won't have a chance to win."
"I'll definitely beat Vegeta. Then I'll compete with Brother Gohan for the championship. I'll just lose to Brother Gohan." Kale chuckled.
"Kale, you must not underestimate Uncle Vegeta." Gohan solemnly, "Uncle Vegeta has been training hard these past few years, and he might have developed a new transformation."
"No matter how things change, I'm the Legendary Super Saiyan, I won't lose to him." Kale revealed a hint of confidence.
"Never underestimate your opponent," Gohan advised again.
"Okay, then I'll train with Brother Gohan." Kale answered obediently, secretly delighted.
I don't want to go to school there yet.
After studying at school for the past two days, I've realized that my biggest rival seems to have changed from Eliza to Videl.
It's better if I don't go to school, then Brother Gohan will be mine all to myself.
Classmate Videl couldn't possibly be here trying to compete with me for Brother Gohan, could she?
That evening, Gohan told his mother Chi-Chi about participating in the World Martial Arts Tournament.
"What's with participating in the World Martial Arts Tournament? Instead of studying properly, you're doing useless things all day!" Chi-Chi scolded Gohan with a stern face.
Gohan lowered his head.
"Aunt Chi-Chi, the champion of the World Martial Arts Tournament gets a prize of 10 million, the runner-up gets 5 million, and the third place gets 3 million!" Kale added from the side.
"A 10 million yuan bonus?" Chi-Chi exclaimed, her eyes gleaming.
Kale nodded vigorously.
"Gohan, Kale, you two should both participate!" Chi-Chi exclaimed excitedly. "The two of you plus Goku can win a total of 18 million! That's fantastic!"
"Don't say that, Mom... the outcome isn't decided yet." Gohan, both amused and exasperated.
So, our family swept the top three spots?
"No, the three of you can definitely do it!" Chi-Chi was quite confident about this.
"But that's how it is... Kale for special training," Gohan murmured.
"It's okay, just focus on your cultivation and catch up on your studies later." Chi-Chi looked indifferent, and even a little excited.
That's wonderful!
Since Kale came to live with us, our household expenses have increased significantly.
Saiyan can eat way too much.
Fortunately, Goku hasn't eaten much at home over the years.
However, Goku doesn't bring money home; he just stays outside training.
Isn't he about to become the Supreme Kai?
He should be made to bring some money back!
When Goku returns, I'll tell him about this.
"Mom, hasn't Goten come back yet?" Gohan asked Chi-Chi.
"No, she called earlier and said she was going to stay at your grandpa's for a few more days," Chi-Chi replied.
"Really? He must get along very well with Calorie, right?" Gohan nodded.
"I think so." Chi-Chi smiled kindly.
Gohan was feeling a little unbalanced.
When I was very young, my mother told me to study hard and strive to become a great scholar when I grew up.
At the same age, Goten's mother raised him in a hands-off manner.
I feel that my childhood was not as happy as Goten's.
A mountainous area.
Two children are playing in the mountains.
They are both 7 years old; one is Goten, and the other is Calorie.
"Uncle, uncle, look what this is!" Goten pointed to a small bird on the tree.
The little bird has colorful wings; it's very beautiful.
"Little bird," Calorie answered.
"What bird?" Goten scratched his head.
"I don't know." Calorie didn't even know what kind of bird it was.
"What a beautiful little bird!" Goten chuckled.
"It must taste delicious, right?" Calorie mused, smacking his lips.
"Roast it?" Goten's eyes lit up.
"It's decided then," Calorie nodded.
The two kids hit it off immediately, flew into the sky, and tried to grab the little bird.
The little bird was so frightened it almost flew away.
Do all kids these days know how to fly?
Where has our advantage as birds gone?
The little bird was so frightened that it flapped its wings frantically and flew away quickly, losing several feathers in the process.
However, how could a little bird possibly escape Goten and Calorie's capture?
In less than a minute, Calorie grabbed the little bird.
"Hehe, it would taste really good grilled." Calorie grinned, revealing a set of pearly white teeth.
"Mmm-hmm-hmm." Goten nodded vigorously.
The little bird was so frightened that tears streamed down its face.
Just as the two mischievous kids were preparing to barbecue, a beautiful figure appeared behind them.
"Mom?" Calorie was taken aback.
"Grandma..." Goten scratched his head.
"These are rare and precious birds on this planet. You are not allowed to eat them. You must learn to protect small animals," Gine ordered coldly.
"It must taste delicious, right?" I'm a little reluctant to Calorie.
"Bang!"
Gine punched Calorie in the head.
Calorie suddenly developed a large bump on his head.
Goten was trembling with fear.
"Give it to me!" Gine held out her hand.
"It hurts so much..." Calorie cried out in pain, but still obediently handed the little bird to Gine.
Gine gently stroked the bird's head and said softly, "Go, fly as far as you can, and don't let anyone catch you again."
After speaking, Gine opened her slender hands.
The little bird flapped its wings and immediately fled the place. After flying far away, it turned back and looked at Gine gratefully.
"You two, it's time to go back and eat," Gine instructed the two.
"Mom, those little birds must have been delicious, right? What a waste of such a delicacy." Calorie swallowed hard.
"You still dare to talk back!" Gine glared fiercely at Calorie.
Calorie smiled mischievously, looking completely unconcerned.
Goten listened attentively, scratching his head as he asked, "Grandma, is it really true that we can't eat that kind of bird?"
"Isn't it bad to eat such a precious little bird?" Gine rubbed Goten's head. "Isn't that right?"
"Grandma is right, then I won't eat it anymore." Goten nodded.
"Goten, the rarer the animal, the better it tastes." Calorie grinned wickedly.
Goten decisively shook his head, indicating that he did not want to eat such a precious little animal.
"Calorie, you should learn more from Goten. Who did you take after for your personality?" Gine frowned.
Why do I feel like our third child's personality is just as evil as Raditz's?
That's not a good idea.
"Mom, Goten is my nephew. Why do you want me to study with him?" Calorie looked unhappy.
"Whether he's your nephew or not, you should learn from him!" Gine snorted, glaring at Calorie.
Calorie were too scared to speak.
The next morning.
Gohan and Kale got up early and went to the mountains and forests.
"Kale, let's start training," Gohan suggested.
"Okay, Brother Gohan." Kale, then asked, "But how do we train? Will we spar?"
"I wouldn't dare fight Kale right now, we haven't fought in a long time..." Gohan shook his head. "When I fought Caulifla before, I felt like my body was rusting. So first I need to train my agility and touch."
As he spoke, Gohan grabbed a bunch of rocks and piled them together.
"Speaking of my eldest sister and Cabba, should we let them participate in the World Martial Arts Tournament as well?" Kale had a whimsical idea.
"Alright, we'll go check on them after we finish training." Gohan didn't object.
"But this reduces Uncle Krillin's chances of making it into the top five," Kale chuckled.
Gohan thought Kale was absolutely right.
How about we stop letting Uncle Krillin participate in the competition?
"But... Auntie Android 21 should be able to make it into the top five, right?" Gohan, rubbing his chin.
"Isn't Android 16 also going to participate in the competition? One of them should be able to make it into the top five." Kale nodded.
"Kale, help me train my skills first." Gohan pointed to the pile of stones on the ground.
"Okay, Brother Gohan." Kale readily agreed.
Gohan drew a line on the ground.
"Kale, stand here and throw the rock at me... Don't throw it too hard, or I won't be able to dodge it," Gohan repeatedly warned.
"Understood." Kale nodded seriously, ready to throw the stone.
"Come on!" Gohan became more alert.
"I'm going to throw it away, Brother Gohan," Kale said.
Gohan nodded.
"Hey!"
Kale shouted, but the stone he threw was soft and powerless.
"Snap!"
Just as the stone was about to reach Gohan's face, it fell from the sky and landed at Gohan's feet.
Gohan: "..."
"Kale, I told you not to use too much force, not that you shouldn't use any force at all." Gohan was both amused and exasperated.
"I was just worried about hurting Brother Gohan, wasn't I?" Kale smiled sheepishly.
"Come on!" Gohan got ready again.
Without further hesitation, Kale increased the force of her Gohan.
Gohan kept dodging, avoiding the stones that Kale threw at him.
After training for a full hour, Gohan's body gradually adapted.
"Okay, now we can try sparring," Gohan suggested.
"Yes, Brother Gohan." Kale his forehead, and a yellow-green light emanated from his body as he immediately activated the Legendary Super Saiyan transformation.
Gohan: "..."
"Let's start by sparring in the basic form... You, the Legendary Super Saiyan... I'm no match for you." Gohan.
"Uh... okay," Kale replied.
"Bang bang bang!"
The two engaged in a fierce battle in the jungle.
In an instant, the two figures kept changing in the air and on the ground.
After a few rounds of fighting, Kale suddenly appeared behind Gohan.
Just as Kale was about to launch an attack on Gohan, she caught a glimpse of a jet plane hurtling towards them from afar.
"Bang!"
Gohan, however, seized the opportunity to Kale the nose.
"Eek..."
Kale let out a soft moan, her nose stung, and tears almost welled up in her eyes.
"Kale, are you alright?" Gohan asked anxiously.
"No...it's nothing..." Kale shook his head, but his eyes were fixed on the plane.
Through the airplane window, Kale saw the girl sitting inside the plane.
Isn't that Classmate Videl?
Classmate Videl, you're really something.
Brother Gohan and I have been training at home, so why did you come looking for us?
Kale eyes closed, Classmate Videl could tell that Videl had come to see Brother Gohan.
"Huh? That's..." Gohan followed Kale's gaze and looked into the distance.
"Don't look!" Kale quickly stepped forward to stop Gohan.
However, Gohan recognized Videl at a glance.
"Isn't that Classmate Videl? What's she doing here?" Gohan and muttered to himself in confusion.
Kale: "..."
I thought Brother Gohan hadn't seen it.
"Brother Gohan... do you know why she came here?" Kale stared at Gohan, puzzled.
The Chinese version of the comic should be out by now, go check it out! And by the way, please give me a monthly pass!
