The Champion's Share: A Moment of Happiness

Chapter 22: The Champion's Share: A Moment of Happiness

On a beautiful day filled with brilliant sunshine and a gentle breeze, Goku, Chi-Chi, and Bulma held their wedding on a vast, boundless grassland. The sky was as clear as a gemstone, and the breeze drifted past. The emerald grass swayed lightly like nimble dancers, as though it were gracefully dancing to celebrate the grand wedding. The scene was lively beyond measure, with waves of laughter and happy voices rising and falling, echoing cheerfully in every corner.

Krillin stood among the crowd, his face radiant with a blissful smile. He looked brighter than the sun itself, and he was genuinely happy for Goku. Master Roshi came strolling over with his loyal companion, Sea Turtle. The old man's wrinkled face beamed with joy, his eyes narrowing into two fine slits as his happiness showed plainly. Tien Shinhan and Chiaotzu were in the crowd, too. Warm sincerity shone from Tien Shinhan's distinctive three eyes, while Chiaotzu bounced about, waving his hands happily as he offered Goku his most heartfelt and heartfelt wishes. Yamcha stood off to the side with an air of haughty pride, muttering, "That Goku—he actually married two women at the same time." Yet beneath his seemingly displeased gaze, he clearly felt deep affection and admiration for Goku, and wished him well.

Their other friends also roamed about the wedding, playing and laughing freely. Their bright, clear laughter carried across the entire grassland. Piccolo stood quietly a little farther away. His green skin looked especially distinctive in the warm sunlight, like a piece of lustrous jade. His gaze was steady and intent, filled with hope and good wishes for Goku.

The wedding stage was arranged like a dream, as though a heavenly realm had descended to earth. Countless flowers gathered together to form a dazzling sea of color, while ribbons fluttered lightly in the breeze, seeming to whisper romantic words. Goku wore a magnificent white suit. Its exquisite tailoring and sparkling decorations made him look even more handsome and dashing. Chi-Chi and Bulma stood on either side of him in wedding dresses as white as snow. Countless glittering diamonds adorned their skirts, casting a captivating glow in the sunlight. They looked like two beautiful, enchanting fairies who had descended from the heavens. Goku gazed tenderly at the two women beside him, his heart brimming with happiness and gratitude. His passionate gaze seemed capable of melting everything in the world, as though only the three of them remained.

As the ceremony proceeded in solemn order, the melodious music flowed like a gentle stream, soothing everyone's hearts. Amid the crowd's fervent cheers and thunderous applause, Goku, Chi-Chi, and Bulma entered the carefully decorated bridal chamber hand in hand, their hearts full of joy. A faint floral fragrance filled the room, the sweet scent of love. Candlelight flickered in every corner, like brilliant stars in the night sky, lighting the long road ahead of them. Delicate rose petals covered the floor, each one seeming to speak of the sweetness and warmth of their love.

The three sat close together and began recalling all the unforgettable moments they had shared. Goku's thoughts drifted back to his childhood, when he had lived with his grandfather, Sun Gohan. Those simple yet happy days were like a warm spring breeze brushing gently over his heart, filling it with endless warmth and longing. He remembered his grandfather patiently and kindly teaching him martial arts, and the sweat and laughter they had shared while working in the fields. Those ordinary yet heartwarming scenes had become his most precious treasures. Chi-Chi blushed slightly as she talked about how she and Goku had met and grown close. From their furious arguments at first to the unspoken understanding they shared once they fell in love, every moment was like a brilliant pearl embedded deep in her memories, impossible to forget. Bulma, too, recalled her adventures with Goku. Those challenging and thrilling days had been the brightest jewels of her life. Their journey to find the Dragon Balls, the many dangers and hardships they faced, and all the times they supported each other and grew together in difficult circumstances filled her with emotion.

As they immersed themselves in these warm, beautiful memories, the bond between them grew ever deeper, like a fine wine aged for years, growing more fragrant with every taste. Goku gazed tenderly at Chi-Chi and Bulma, his eyes full of love so profound it could not be concealed, as if they were the only two people in the world. He gently took their hands and said in a warm, resolute voice, "Having you by my side is the greatest blessing of my life. I'll protect you with everything I have and give you endless happiness for the rest of my life." Chi-Chi and Bulma exchanged smiles, tears of emotion glimmering in their eyes. Their hearts were full of happiness and contentment. Then, on that romantic night filled with love, they began a new chapter in their lives together, and the room filled with an intoxicating sweetness and happiness.

Time flew by in the blink of an eye. Nine months passed in an instant, and Chi-Chi gave birth to a lovely son for Goku. They named him Sun Gohan. As soon as the little one entered the world, he opened his bright, clear eyes and looked around curiously at this strange new place. His chubby cheeks were rosy like ripe apples, making anyone want to kiss them. Goku held Sun Gohan in his arms, his face shining with the joy and pride of becoming a father. His radiant smile seemed capable of lighting up the whole world. At the same time, Bulma also gave birth to a well-behaved daughter for Goku, whom they named Sun Bra. Sun Bra inherited Bulma's intelligence and Goku's courage and tenacity, becoming the apple of the family's eye from the moment she was born. As Goku looked at the two adorable children, his heart filled with joy and a sense of responsibility. He secretly vowed to protect them with all his strength and help them grow up happy and healthy in a loving home.

In this moment of joy and happiness, Goku decided to gather the Dragon Balls and summon Shenron to fulfill a wish he had cherished for a long time. When the others heard, they eagerly offered their help. Some used their extensive connections to search far and wide for the Dragon Balls, while others drew on their unique abilities to sense where they were. Thanks to everyone's combined efforts, they soon gathered all seven Dragon Balls. A dazzling light flashed, and Shenron's enormous, majestic form appeared before them.

Goku looked at Shenron with reverence and sincerity. "Shenron, I'd like to ask about my parents. Can you bring them to Earth?"

Shenron's enormous body circled through the sky as he spoke in a deep, solemn voice, like an ancient bell echoing in the distance. "Son Goku, your father traveled back a thousand years before Planet Vegeta exploded. Your mother had already perished in the explosion. My power is limited, and I cannot grant this wish. I was created by Kami, and my abilities are restricted by his."

A hint of unmistakable disappointment crossed Goku's face, but his strong will soon helped him recover. His gaze firmed as he asked, "Then can I wish for the power to create Dragon Balls, so I can create the Chinese Shenron? Maybe the Chinese Shenron can grant my wish."

Shenron fell silent for a moment after hearing Goku's idea, then said, "That is possible."

At once, Shenron blazed with light, like a scorching sun illuminating the entire sky. He granted Goku's wish, then transformed into seven Dragon Balls and departed. Using the miraculous power he had obtained from his wish, Goku created his own Dragon Balls according to the vision in his heart. As he eagerly recited the incantation, "Come forth, Chinese Shenron, and grant my wish!" the sky suddenly blazed with light. A brilliant beam shot into the heavens, and a mighty Chinese Shenron appeared before them.

The Chinese Shenron was enormous, as though he could blot out the sky. His scales shimmered with a dazzling array of colors. Each one was like the most precious gemstone in the world, its light flowing and radiant, too brilliant to look away from. His whiskers drifted in the wind like soft ribbons, swaying gracefully with an air of mystery. His eyes shone brightly, containing boundless wisdom and unfathomable power. Everyone felt awe in his presence and scarcely dared to look directly at him.

Goku quickly bowed with humble reverence. "Honorable Chinese Shenron, I hope you can grant my wish and bring my parents to my side."

The Chinese Shenron nodded slightly, his voice ringing out like a great bell and stirring everyone's hearts. "Kakarot, your devotion to your parents is touching. I will grant your wish."

A dazzling, enchanting light flashed, and Goku's parents, Bardock and Gine, appeared before everyone. Goku rushed toward them like an excited child and embraced them tightly, tears streaming down his face as he sobbed uncontrollably. In that moment, time seemed to freeze and the whole world fell silent, save for the sound of the family weeping in each other's arms.

Bardock looked at Goku, who had grown into a powerful adult, and his eyes were full of pride and relief. He gently patted Goku's shoulder with his rough palm. "Son, you've become an incredible warrior. Your father is immensely proud of you."

Gine gently caressed Goku's face, tears streaming down like beads from a broken string. "My child, I've missed you so much. You must have been through many trials and tribulations over the years, and suffered plenty of hardship."

Goku hugged his parents tightly, pouring out all the longing and concern he had carried for years. His voice choked with emotion. "Dad, Mom, I've thought about you every single day. There's so much I want to tell you."

Then the Chinese Shenron said, "My mission is complete. I will transform into seven Dragon Balls and remain by your side. Whenever you need me, just gather the Dragon Balls and recite the incantation, and I will appear again."

Goku and the others quickly thanked him and carefully put away the seven Dragon Balls of the Chinese Shenron.

From then on, Goku continued to live a happy life full of challenges in the Dragon Ball World, together with his family and friends. Every day was filled with laughter and warmth. Their story became the most moving and beautiful legend in the Dragon Ball World, destined to be told forever throughout that magical land.

The following is about the origins, appearances, summoning phrases, and abilities of the ordinary Shenron on Earth and the Chinese Shenron:
