Teaching Chi-Chi to Train

"Looks like I'll have to go down to Earth and ask Sun Wukong for help!"

"Guardian, are you leaving the Lookout?"

Mr. Popo asked.

"That's right! For the sake of Earth, I have no choice but to go down there!"

"But King Piccolo's son, Piccolo, is down there right now. Wouldn't you be in danger if you ran into him?"

"It's fine! I'll find a human body and possess him!"

"Then you have to be careful!"

"Mm!"

The Guardian nodded.

The next morning.

A bespectacled middle-aged man suddenly rang the electronic doorbell outside Bulma's house.

He was the Guardian of Earth, possessing the body of an Earthling.

"Hello, does Sun Wukong live here? I'd like to speak with him!"

"Goku?"

Mrs. Brief's voice came through the speaker of the electronic doorbell.

"Mm!"

"All right, I'll go get him!"

"Please wait a moment!"

"Sorry for the trouble!"

A little while later, Sun Wukong came out of Bulma's house.

"Who are you?"

"I'm the Guardian of Earth!"

"The Guardian?"

"That's right! I'm possessing an ordinary person right now, which is why I look like this!"

"Oh! What did you want to see me about?"

The Guardian said gravely,

"Do you remember King Piccolo, the one you killed?"

"Of course. What about him?"

"When he was dying, he spat out an egg. That egg was his son, Piccolo!

Piccolo is still young, but he's already stronger than King Piccolo was back then. That's why I'd like you to help me kill him!

If we wait until he's powerful enough to wreak havoc on Earth, it'll be too late!"

"Has he done anything bad yet?"

"Uh..."

The Guardian thought for a moment.

"Not yet, it seems, but that doesn't mean he won't in the future! By then, it'll be too late!"

"Then we'll deal with it when the time comes! If there's nothing else, I'll head back."

"Are you really not going to help me eliminate Piccolo?"

The Guardian asked again.

"I'm not."

The Guardian fell silent.

After a long while, he turned and left.

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

Chi-Chi was at home, and since Sun Wukong still hadn't come by to teach her how to train, she called Android 8 in West City.

Sun Wukong was training in the Gravity Room when Android 8 suddenly came in to see him.

"Android 8!"

"Goku!"

"Android 8, what brings you here?"

"Goku, Chi-Chi called me today. She said you were going to teach her how to train, but you never showed up at her house!"

After hearing that, Sun Wukong immediately came out of the Gravity Room and covered Android 8's mouth with his hand.

"You absolutely can't let Bulma find out about this!"

"All right!"

"Then head back. I'll go see Chi-Chi right now!"

"Okay!"

After speaking, Android 8 left the Gravity Room.

Fried Bread Mountain.

Chi-Chi was sitting barefoot beside a little stream.

"Why hasn't Goku come yet?"

As soon as she finished speaking, a figure appeared behind her.

It was Sun Wukong.

"Chi-Chi!"

Chi-Chi didn't know that Sun Wukong had already arrived, so his call made her jump.

"Goku!"

Chi-Chi climbed out of the stream, looking a little annoyed.

"Goku, why didn't you come teach me how to train for the past half month?"

"I... thought you weren't in a hurry, so..."

"Hmph!"

Chi-Chi snorted.

Just then, Sun Wukong glanced at her bare feet.

Chi-Chi blushed and hurriedly put on her shoes.

Sun Wukong looked away and turned to admire the green hills and clear waters around them.

Fried Bread Mountain was a mountain, but the scenery around it really was quite nice.

"So, Goku, you came here to teach me how to train today, right?"

"Mm!"

Sun Wukong nodded.

"What martial art are you going to teach me?"

"What do you want to learn?"

"Something powerful, of course!"

"How about the Kamehameha?"

"The Kamehameha? The move you used to put out the fire?"

"That's right!"

"No way! Dad told me that even he couldn't learn the Kamehameha, let alone me!"

Sun Wukong rubbed his nose.

"Then how about I teach you Drunken Fist?"

"Drunken Fist?"

Sun Wukong nodded and demonstrated Drunken Fist for her.

"That's amazing!"

As soon as Sun Wukong finished, Chi-Chi immediately clapped for him.

"Do you want to learn Drunken Fist, then?"

"No!"

"..."

Sun Wukong was speechless. If she didn't want to learn it, why was she clapping?

"Goku, I want to learn Instant Transmission!"

"..."

Sun Wukong was speechless again.

She couldn't even learn a simple move like the Kamehameha, yet she wanted to learn Instant Transmission?

"Um, Chi-Chi, it took even me a whole year to learn Instant Transmission!"

The "me" Sun Wukong was talking about wasn't actually himself. He meant Sun Wukong from the original Dragon Ball story.

He couldn't exactly tell Chi-Chi that he'd made a wish on the Dragon Balls and learned it right away.

"A whole... year!"

Chi-Chi was shocked.

She'd guessed Instant Transmission would be hard to learn, but she hadn't expected it to be this difficult.

"Yeah! Do you know how long it took me to learn the Kamehameha?"

"How long?"

"Two minutes!"

"..."

For a moment, Chi-Chi didn't know what to say.

Her father had spent his whole life without learning the Kamehameha, yet Sun Wukong had learned it in two minutes.

She didn't know whether to call Sun Wukong a genius or her father a fool!

She suddenly felt crushed.

"Do you still want to learn Instant Transmission?"

"I... I think I'll pass!"

"How about I teach you the Flight Technique?"

"The Flight Technique?"

Sun Wukong nodded, floated into the air, and flew around once.

"This is the Flight Technique!"

"Is this one hard to learn?"

"No. Anyone with even a little martial arts training can basically learn it!"

"Really? Then I'll learn the Flight Technique!"

Sun Wukong flew down and landed in front of Chi-Chi.

"To learn the Flight Technique, you first need to understand what ki is."

"Ki?"

"Right. Everyone has ki inside them. My Instant Transmission works by sensing the ki inside you and teleporting to somewhere near you!"

"Then what exactly is ki?"

Sun Wukong raised both hands, and a golden ball of ki appeared in his palms.

"This is ki! The first thing you need to learn is how to gather the ki inside your body!"

"Gather the ki inside my body?"

Sun Wukong then had Chi-Chi try to gather ki in her hands, just as he had done.

Half a day passed in the blink of an eye.

Perhaps because Chi-Chi already had some martial arts training, and because she was still young and quick to learn, she managed to gather ki in her hands.

"That's great, Goku! I managed to gather ki!"
