Chapter 2
(In DBZ dimension)
Kuririn had a headache. He had just gone through a brutal verbal barrage from Chi-Chi after telling her and Bulma what happened to Gohan. He knew Chi-Chi would be made, but it was impossible to prepare for her yelling, besides carrying a few aspirin.
Bulma, however, had been able to calm Chi-Chi down by promising to do her best to find Gohan and bring him back. She said that a device that could create a similar portal would be possible. She then went to work on it at Capsule Corp.
A day later, Kuririn still had that headache. He was back up in Kami's Lookout while Piccolo tried to get information from Kami about how they could get Gohan back.
"I no longer have that ability", explained Kami. "Only Garlic Jr can open those portals."
"Then do you know any other way to get to Gohan?" asked Piccolo, more than a little impatient.
"No. Even if Bulma created a device to open dimensional portals, it would still be impossible to enter the Dead Zone", replied Kami, with a sad look.
Kuririn was thinking about when Gohan was thrown into the portal. Suddenly he remembered something that could help them.
"What if he wasn't in the Dead Zone?" Kuririn asked while trying to get rid of the remnants of his headache.
"What are you talking about?" snarled Piccolo. "You saw him being thrown in with your own eyes."
"But when Gohan shot his Masenko Beam into it, the portal changed. It was yellow and green when he went through it", replied Kuririn.
"Hmm..." mused Kami thoughtfully. "It sounds like the portal Gohan went through had different properties than the usual ones Garlic Jr would use to reach the Dead Zone. I suspect that an attack like that would have made it a rift between this dimension and a neighboring one."
"Do you know of a way to reach that one then?" came from Piccolo, hope in his eyes.
Kami thought for a few moments. "He doesn't appear to be in the afterlife." He replied. "I can't reach the other dimensions myself, but, theoretically, Bulma should be able to devise something to travel there. I will try to find out which particular dimension he is in." With that, Kami walked away and created a psychic link to King Kaiou.
"I'll go tell Bulma the news so she can get started on the adjustments" said Kuririn as he took off to Capsule Corp HQ.

('Other' Dimension)
Ash, Misty and Brock were packed and ready to go. Gohan had just released that fearow. Gohan was wondering why the others gave him such weird look when he carried that bird out of the Pokemon Center.
Ash and the others seemed to be rather quiet as they walked on their way to Pallet Town. Even Pikachu was rather silent. Togepi was the only one that seemed to be comfortable around Gohan.
According to Ash, it would be about a two or three day walk to Pallet Town on their current route. Under different circumstances, it would have been less, but there really was no hurry.
Gohan looked over at Ash and saw him looking at a small red and white ball. "What exactly are those things?" asked Gohan in order to break the ice.
Ash smiled and threw the ball. "Watch!" he said.
Gohan was mildly surprised to see a light appear from the ball and a pokemon appear. The pokemon was a blue turtle.
"Wow!" replied Gohan as Ash recalled the turtle. "Can I see an empty one so I can examine it?"
"Sure", replied Ash as he threw one to Gohan.
They continued walking as Gohan looked over the ball. After a minute he forced the ball open, much to the others' surprise. Gohan noticed the mirror like objects and such. He spent most of the rest of the day examining the ball as they walked.
When it was time for camp, Gohan was stuck on examining the ball. He couldn't quite figure out how it worked. He pulled his small case of dynocaps.
Misty saw him pull out his case and went to look at it. "What's that?" she asked.
"Dynocaps. Stand back!" He told the others as he pressed the button and threw the capsule.
A cloud of smoke with a quiet explosion like sound came from the spot he threw the capsule. Ash, Brock and Misty were shocked to see a desk appear as the smoke cleared.
Gohan walked over to it nonchalantly as he used some of his books to figure out how the pokeball worked.
Ash recovered from the surprise first and asked, "How did you do that?"
"Dynocaps use sixth-dimensional physics to allow them to contain seemingly impossibly large objects." Gohan replied without looking up from the book.
"What types of things do you have in those?" asked Brock.
"I have a portable house and a plane or car or two." Gohan answered as he put his book down. "I don't think I'll be able to figure out how this works right now." He said as he looked at the pokeball. He pressed a button on the desk and it changed back into a dynocap.
Misty seemed a bit peeved. "If you have a house, why don't you use it? And why do you carry a desk around?" she asked, somewhat irritated.
"The other dynocaps need their power recharged. The house wouldn't be able to operate if I brought it out." Gohan explained. "I carry that desk around because my mom is insistent on me studying."
Ash was still looking at him in awe. "A house and a plane? That must cost a fortune!" He exclaimed.
Gohan laughed uneasily with his arm on the back of his neck. "Not really. My family is good friends with the company that creates them. We get them for practically nothing."
With that, Ash, Misty and Bock finished setting up the camp. After a mainly uneventful dinner, they went to sleep. Ash, Misty and Brock were in their sleeping bags, and Gohan was just lying on the ground. He borrowed a blanket from Brock, and used it as a pillow.
The next morning they packed up their camp and got ready to go. Gohan handed Ash back his pokeball. "Thanks for letting me see it." Gohan told him. " I wasn't able to find out much about it, but it was interesting to see what it was like inside."
"Don't worry about it." Ash responded. "Professor Oak can tell you what you want to know about them."
The way Ash was acting, Gohan could tell that they were no longer uneasy about him.
After a quick breakfast, they were back to walking. Gohan was feeling much better as Ash, Brock and Misty seemed much more sociable today. Gohan seemed to fit in somewhat.
"Why do you have such long hair?" asked Misty.
Gohan shrugged. "There's no real reason for it. I'm just real busy studying to get my haircut. Besides, we live too far from a city to get my hair cut regularly. My mom cut it once before, and it turned out pretty bad."
"Oh", smiled Misty as she thought about it.
Throughout the time they've been traveling together, Pikachu has kept his distance from Gohan. Pikachu looked at Gohan with a very confused look. He couldn't seem to be able to make up his mind about Gohan.
Ash spoke up to Gohan with a question after an hour of walking. "You know what we are aspiring to, with our pokemon and all. What are your goals?"
"I'm not sure yet." replied Gohan. "My mom wants me to be a scholar or philosopher or something, while my dad would like me to be a martial artist like him. I'll probably end up becoming what my mom wants me to be."
"You don't have to become something just because your mom wants you to!" exclaimed Misty.
Gohan shrugged. "I really wouldn't mind it. Besides, my mom is NOT someone you want to argue with." he replied.
"Oh really!" stated Misty. "I'm not exactly someone that should be taken lightly!"
Gohan laughed. "Everyone is afraid of my mom. Especially my dad."
Misty, Ash and Brock were surprised at that remark. Ash was about to ask something, when Gohan interrupted him.
"Can we talk about something else? There are some things I'd rather not talk about." Gohan stated with a sad look.
After an hour of walking in relative silence, Brock spoke up with a question for Gohan.
"How did you get lost, anyways? If you could think to what you were doing, then maybe you can figure a way to get back."
Gohan thought about it. "I don't really remember how I actually got to being lost. I remember playing with Icarus, then I remember waking up on the ground by an unfamiliar forest, and Icarus was nowhere in sight."
Ash laughed. "That's an unusual name, Icarus."
Gohan smiled happily. "I named him myself. He's a dragon I found. My mom won't let me keep him near the house so I visit him in his cave."
"A dragon?!" Ash, Misty and Brock exclaimed.
"What?" Gohan looked at them innocently.
"Maybe it's a pokemon!" shouted Ash excitedly.
"I don't think so", Gohan replied. "Pokemon fight. Icarus isn't meant for fighting. He can hardly defend himself."
Ash looked disappointed. "Still," Misty replied, still amazed. "Dragons don't really exist. At least so I thought."
Gohan shrugged. "My eyes don't lie. I've seen two different dragons so far. Where I'm from they're extremely rare, but they do exist." Gohan said, matter-of-factly. Misty and Ash let the subject drop.
They arrived at Pallet Town by nightfall. Gohan was worried that he didn't have any money, but Ash reassured him that his mom wouldn't mind the extra company.
When they arrived at Ash's house, Ash's mom was waiting for them. "Hi mom!" Ash hugged his mom.
"Hi Mrs. Ketchum!" happily greeted Misty and Brock.
"Welcome back, everyone!" Ash's mom greeted. "I see you've brought someone new." She said as she looked at Gohan.
"That's Gohan. He was lost so we brought him here so he could see if Professor Oak could help him find his way home." replied Ash.
"Hi!" greeted Gohan nervously with a smile.
"Well, the more the merrier! Hello Gohan." greeted Ash's mom.
After a late dinner, Gohan, Ash, Brock and Misty went to bed for the night.
"You're mom is nice." Gohan told Ash. "I know my mom would have been angry if I did the same thing."
"That's just the way she is", replied Ash. "Don't worry about getting home Gohan. Professor Oak should be able to help."
"I sure hope so." whispered Gohan before drifting off to sleep.
