[NARRATOR] Last time, on Dragon Ball Z...

Gohan's trials continued,

as the creatures of the wilderness

fought to capture him for a tasty snack.

And it was all Gohan could do

to keep himself out of their claws!

Gohan's adventures dropped him into the dark center

of an ancient ruin, where fortunately for him,

he discovered he had some company...

[ROBOT] Who are you?!

[NARRATOR] But when the ruins suddenly began to collapse,

Gohan's robot friend threw himself into harm's way,

and held back the falling rock just long enough

for the young boy to escape.

[GOHAN sobs]

[GOHAN] Please!

[ROBOT] Time to shut down...

It's my fault...

[NARRATOR] Now, alone once again,

Gohan journeys into the unknown with a new determination

to make himself stronger,

so that the next time trouble rears its head,

he'll be able to help his friends...

Good luck, Gohan! The Saiyans arrive in one year!

[GOHAN] It's harder bringing you back than it was catching you!

[GOHAN grunts]

[breathes heavily]

Ah, berries...

Hm?

Now, just a little bit farther...

Ahh, yum!

Uh oh, I better get back.

Aahh!

[groans]

Ow...

[lightning strikes]

[GOHAN whimpers]

[animal growls]

[GOHAN yells and whimpers]

[lightning strikes]

[GOHAN] I can't believe this.

I never thought I'd have to do this myself...

I hope I'm doing it right...

Uh...

[GOHAN bawls]

[GOKU] There we go!

[bawling]

No, daddy! It hurts!

I know it stings a little bit, Gohan...

But I promise it'll help!

No, I don't want any of that stuff!

I want Mom to do it!

[sobs]

Come on...

[winces]

That's it! You did it!

Now it'll be better in no time.

[GOHAN] All right. Here it goes...

[winces]

[CROWD cheers]

[helicopter whirs]

[ANNOUNCER #1] It's the bottom of the ninth,

the defending champions are leading

the Taitans six to three...

And it's the pitch!

[UMPIRE] Strike!

[CROWD cheers]

[ANNOUNCER 1] Murdock caught swinging on the change up!

Oh-ho boy! You know he's gotta be hating himself for that one!

[ANNOUNCER #2] You've got that right, Martin...

And you can bet the intimidation factor

from this man here had a little something to do

with that little lapse in concentration!

[ANNOUNCER 1] Absolutely! Rocky Rivers has hit more batters,

and he's pitched fewer innings

than any other pitcher in the league!

[ANNOUNCER 2] Now those are stats

you don't want to write home about.

[ANNOUNCER 1] And the pressure has got to be

mounting for that man.

[ANNOUNCER 2] Right! Yamcha's already hit three solo homers,

but how long can he keep up the streak?

What's up, Puar?

Gee, I thought you were snoozing!

Aren't you nervous about winning the game?

[YAMCHA sighs]

[YAMCHA] What's there to be nervous about? This is too easy.

It seems like every time I step up to the plate

I hit a home run.

Yeah, but that's a good thing, isn't it?

I'm a fighter, Puar! I'm not a ball player!

Don't talk like that!

Fighting doesn't pay the rent, Yamcha.

You have to make money somehow!

[ANNOUNCER #1] Rocky Rivers with the windup... The pitch!

[MURDOCK groans]

[ANNOUNCER 1] Oh! And Murdock's been hit!

Atta' boy, Murdock! Alright!

Hey, Yamcha!

Huh?

We got two men on for you hot-shot!

You can bring 'em in, can't you?

Hey, it's worth a bonus. Well, what d'ya think, huh?

It's a pretty big game.

The Pennant... Twenty thousand zeni...

How's that for a nice bonus?

It's hard to believe the entire season's

resting on my shoulders.

That's an awful lot of pressure...

Twenty-thousand it is.

[HEAD COACH and YAMCHA laugh]

Wow. That'll pay the rent.

[ANNOUNCER #1] And there's the Taitan's slugger, Yamcha,

in the warm up box...

Tying run at the plate...

[UMPIRE] Play ball!

[ANNOUNCER 1] Two men on...

Bottom of the ninth... Two outs.

[ANNOUNCER #2] And look at Freddie Hines

signaling in to Pepper Johnson

Bottom of the ninth... The Pennant at stake...

You have to wonder with all the pressure

if he even knows what he's doing.

[ANNOUNCER 1] Looks like he's had too much coffee to me!

Heh, ha!

And here's the pitch!

[UMPIRE] Striiiiiike one!

[ANNOUNCER 1] Johnson caught looking, or rather, not looking.

And you have to wonder just what signal

the Taitan manager sent in earlier.

Here it comes, ladies.

[ANNOUNCER 1] And here's the pitch!

Breaking ball...

Ha, ha!

[ANNOUNCER 1] Oh! Now Johnson's been hit!

[commotion]

[ANNOUNCER 1] That's two in one inning!

[ANNOUNCER 2] Boy, that's not going to go over well.

Pepper Johnson is obviously shaken-up.

I wouldn't be surprised if a fight broke out here.

Hey! You jerk! You did that on purpose!

So what! What do you think you're gonna do about it?

That's it, meat-head!

Come on!

[ANNOUNCER #1] There goes Johnson!

And now both benches are clearing! What a game!

[ANNOUNCER 2] I've never seen anything like this, Martin!

Not in a Pennant race!

[ANNOUNCER 1] And there's the Taitan slugger, Yamcha!

So far he's one of the few players

that's chosen not get involved....

[ANNOUNCER 2] He probably doesn't want to get hurt.

[YAMCHA laughs forcefully]

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!

Yamcha, stay out of it!

You don't want to hurt anybody, now do you?

Oh, Puar, it's just a little rumble! I'll try to be careful!

Okay, have fun!

Oh, my...

[YAMCHA laughs]

You little punk!

[MAN] Hey!

Hello!

Huh?

Krillin! What are you doing here?

Y'know, just hangin'!

I do have something I need to tell you though, Yamcha.

Why don't we go over here?

[CROWD roars]

[PUAR] What?

[YAMCHA] Are you serious?

[PUAR] But, Goku can't be... dead.

Yeah... he sacrificed himself.

[PUAR and YAMCHA exclaim]

But don't forget about the Dragon Balls!

Once we get all seven we can wish him back!

C'mon, follow me!

Hm?

Hi!

[giggles]

[BULMA] Oh... You jerk!

[KRILLIN] Huh? Hey... Guys?

Bulma's still mad about the time you stood her up!

You should explain that you were just out of money.

Huh! Yamcha was broke ninety-nine percent

of the time anyway!

Besides, he took Becky Hafford

to see the concert three nights later!

I had tickets.. You wouldn't go!

[BULMA grunts angrily]

[KRILLIN quivers]

Man! Being a jerk just comes so natural to you!

Yeah? Well, I'd say I owe all my training

in that department to you, Bulma.

Krillin, if you need some help against those Saiyans,

let me know.

Wait a second! That's what I came to talk to you about!

I do need you!

Korin wants us all to report to him for special training!

For real, Krillin?

[KRILLIN] Mm-hm.

[YAMCHA laughs]

Well, too bad! You're gonna miss out!

Huh?!

Hey! C'mon guys! We don't want to be late!

Korin's waiting, you know!

[GROUP] Uhh...

[snoring]

[yells]

Oh man, that's sharp! Poor arm...

It all looks the same...

I don't even know how long I've been running...

It doesn't feel like I'm any closer to the end now

than I was when I started...

[snoring]

[chewing sounds]

[birds chirp]

[GOHAN] Wow, I slept like a rock...

[GOHAN screams and DINOSAUR roars]

[breathes heavily]

My heart feels like it's going to pop out of my chest!

Wait, I can't run away!

My dad wouldn't run away... Besides, my sword's in there!

Aaaahhh!

[GOHAN] Uh, actually, I can come back for my sword later...

if you want.

[whimpers]

[gasps]

[DINOSAUR groans]

Goodness... That's gonna have to come out.

Hey, this is gonna hurt,

but you'll feel better when it's all over.

[GOHAN grunts]

[DINOSAUR groans]

[GOHAN grunts]

[GOHAN yells]

[DINOSAUR roars]

Whoa! Poor guy! This was in deeper than I thought.

Hmm...

[GOHAN] This is something my dad showed me.

It'll fix you right up!

Trust me... You're not the only one...

[chuckles]

[grunts]

There we go!

[DINOSAUR grumbles]

I know! It stings! But I promise it'll help!

[GOHAN] I'm back!

There. I think that should be enough.

Aaahhh!

Great! Now I need to find more food for my friend...

And I know just the place

where I can get tons of berries for him.

He'll like those!

[laughs]

[rustling and growling]

Wow! I haven't felt this good in a long time!

There's going to be a fight, isn't there?

[BULMA] That's right!

And it's not going to be pretty.

[KRILLIN] Mm-hmm...

[KAMCHA] Well I'm not gonna bow down to those Saiyan jerks!

We've got Piccolo on our side

and Goku's gonna be back even stronger than before!

[BULMA] That's true...

And besides, it's not every day

you get a chance to be trained by Korin himself!

Hey! Right, Yamcha!

Korin's training will make us stronger, too!

We might be twice as strong!

That's true! It's possible!

In any case, those sorry Saiyans

are going to have their hands full.

I'll make sure of that!

Wow! Now you're talking, Yamcha!

Yeah!

[PUAR sighs]

Oh great! She still likes him. Bummer...

Oh! How romantic!

[KRILLIN] Eh...

You know... I wonder...

Maybe after the big fella' gets better,

I can keep him as a pet! That'd be so much fun.

And it'd be great having a friend to keep me company.

[laughs]

Can't wait! Ha, ha, ha!

Wow! My arms are getting pretty beefy! Heh, heh, heh!

Hm?

[GOHAN] Well, I have to try it sometime...

I guess today's as good a day as any.

[quivers]

[yells]

Hmm... Maybe it's time I tested my strength out, too.

My dad could make rubble outta this rock.

Aahh! Hm.

Yah!

[whimpers]

Not even a crack...

[GOHAN] I'm back again!

I was gonna get you some berries,

but I couldn't find any.

Instead, I found a bunch of fruit I think you'll like.

[roaring]

[whimpers]

No!

Somebody!

Ah! Please! Help!

So it's you! I'm not gonna let you hurt my friend!

Let him go, right now!

I mean it!

[T-REX growls]

[DINOSAUR groans]

Haaaaa...

[roars]

[GOHAN] My sword!

[roars]

[GOHAN grunts]

[T-REX roars]

[GOHAN yells]

[roars]

[chewing sounds]

Gotta... keep... going.

[birds chirp]

[GOHAN] What happened?

[GOHAN thinking] Oh no, my friend...

[NARRATOR] The course of nature isn't always easy to accept.

But as Gohan is learning, in the remote wilderness,

survival of the fittest is the only law of the land.

And difficult though it may be,

sometimes there is little choice

but to put the past behind and forge ahead!
