Chapter 4

(DBZ Dimension)

The project involving the dimensional portal was moving along at a very uneasy pace. They've been able to open the portal for a second and it was the size of a dime when they had it open. After some information from Kami, they've been able to determine that they indeed had the portal going to the dimension in which Gohan was trapped.

However, Bulma couldn't figure out why they couldn't open it any longer or larger, let alone send something through. Some of her calculations should have worked, but when she put them in, the portal acted no differently than it would have without them. Her suspicion of sabatogue grew every day.

Piccolo and Kuririn stayed at the Capsule Corp's guest rooms while this was going on. They appeared to blame themselves for Gohan's situation. Piccolo demanded to be notified the minute any progress was made. Kuririn wanted to help any way he could.

Bulma was writing down some notes on a clipboard while the other scientists where working on calculations. Bulma dropped her pen behind the machine and went to pick it up when she noticed a strange device hooked up to one of the machines.

The device appeared to be some sort of sender/reciever apparatus. She hooked up a handheld computer to the device to see what she could find out about it.

The device appeared to be recording their calculations and hardware listings and sending them to an unknown source. Bulma also noticed that it was erasing key parts of her calculations. The device appeared to have been there since this project started. Bulma unhooked the device and destroyed it.

She announced to her collegues that they were being sabatogued. The other scientists went to work digging up their old calculations to re-enter them into the machine while she went to go get Kuririn and Piccolo.

She told them of the device, and estimated the machine to be working within the hour. The Bulma, Piccolo and Kuririn rushed back to the testing room to prepare for the first run.

When she got there, she was greeted by another scientist working on the portal generator. "Any attempts to find or communicate with the child have failed. The onlysolution we have is to send someone in to find him. I have created a communication device with an experimental tracker to communicate with the traveller."

Bulma nodded. "I think we have a couple of volunteers right here." She smiled and pointed at Piccolo and Kuririn. Both of them nodded in agreement.

The scientist shook his head. "It's too dangerous to send more than one person in. We will have the data we need after the person has gone in."

Piccolo was about to volunteer for the solo mission, when Kami bursted into the room looking exhausted. "Piccolo, I felt your intention to go after Gohan and came here as fast as I could. You have forgotten that we both need to be in the same dimension to exist at all. Let Kuririn go in. Maybe then they'll be able to find a way to send more in at a time."

kami nearly collapsed when Bulma caught him. She had a collegue take Kami to an unused guest room to rest from his exhausting trip.

Piccolo was angry and dissapointed in himself. He dejectedly turned to Kuririn. "Do your best to find him." he said in a low voice, hardly able to conatain his anger.

Kuririn nodded solomnly. "I'll do my best." he replied.

The scientist that greeted them was now showing Kuririn how to use the communication device. Kuririn was also given a case of dynocaps for emergencies.

The portal machine was activated, and Kuririn jumped into the resulting green and yellow portal. The portal dissapeared, and several machines overheated. The testing area was covered in smoke.

After the smoke cleared, it was apparent some major repairs would have to be done.

Piccolo was rather unnerved at watching this. He started worrying when a computer that didn't appear to be part of the regular apparatus started to recieve an incoming call.

"Hello, can you here me?" said a voice that came from the machine.

Bulma rushed to the computer. "Kuririn, is that you?" she inquired.

"Of course it is!" he answered back, sounding happy. "It appears your test was a success. It was a little bumpy, but I made it here in one piece. Will you be able to send Piccolo and Kami soon?"

Bulma answered nervously. "Actually, we won't be able to send anyone anywhere with this machine anytime soon. Some of the computers fried and some repairs will need t be done before I can attempt anything again."

After ten seconds of silence, Kuririn responded. "I'm going to look for Gohan. Contact me when any progress has been made. Over."

(Pokemon Dimension)

Meanwhile...

A stable green and yellow portal opened in a small forest outside Fushia City. Out of it came a small, mosquito-like machine.

The flying machine omited some quiet whirring noises, and then stabbed a nearby mankey and extracted it's DNA. It then flew away, looking for more samples...

Gohan had been studying for an hour when there was a knock on his front door. He opened the door to find Professor Oak waiting on his front step.

Professor Oak looked at Gohan thoughtfully. "I've been thinking about what you told me about your world." he told Gohan. "Somethings don't quite add up. You said that the saiya-jinn species are loners for the most part, and yet you said that they would wipe out civilizations. What would make them work together for something like that?"

Gohan gave him a quizical look. "They didn't work together for that" he stated.

"Then did they use special weapons or did they use spaceships and attack from orbit?" Professor Oak asked.

"Neither", Gohan replied. "They would wipe out the species with their bare hands."

Professor Oak was shocked to hear this. "How was that possible?"

"Saiya-jinns are extremely strong, and they learn ki manipulation at an early age." Gohan answered. "Also, theses tails allow saiya-jinns to transform into another form called oozaru when a natural sattelite reflects the light from the sun. In other words, a full moon."

"Oozaru?" Professor Oak thought for a minute. "So those tails cause you to transform into enormous apes?" He asked, somewhat afraid.

Gohan thought for a moment. "Yes, that's basically it. For it to work, however, I'd have to see the moon with my own eyes." He explained. "I'm safe from it because I go to sleep rather early."

Professor Oak looked noticably less tense. "Good. Then could you show me how powerful saiya-jinns are?"

"Okay." Gohan replied.

Professor Oak and Gohan walked back to Oak's laboratory. Professor Oak brought him out to the fields he uses to take care of the pokemon.

"Here's a secluded area you can use" Professor Oak told Gohan.

Gohan started a little warmup with a some practice punching and kicking, then he flew up in the air to practice arial combat. The whole time professor Oak was watching in amazement. After 10 minutes or melee practice, Gohan decided to use some rock formations as target practice.

Gohan put his hands over his head. "Mas...en...ko...HAA!" he yelled as the familiar beam of energy was launched from his hands. The beam of energy came in contact with the rock formation and destroyed it and some of the surrounding area.

Gohan landed and walked back to Professor Oak. "How was that?" he asked. Profeesor Oak was stunned after watching Gohan do some basic training.

After three minutes of staring blankly Professor Oak regained his senses. "I now see how wiping out civilizations was possible for them." he said in thought.

Gohan smiled. "I didn't even use one tenth of my full power. I would have destroyed the planet easily if I had." he responded.

Professor Oak was speechless. After another minute or so Professor Oak was finally able to speak once more. "I would like you to see something." he replied as he brought Gohan to another section of the ranch area.

Professor Oak pointed to some odd, blue people-like pokemon. "Those are machokes. Do you suppose you could teach them to fight in a similar manner?"

Gohan was looking at them and scanning their ki, when he was interuptted by several bombs that were thrown on the ground. Gohan pulled Professor Oak out of the way of the falling bombs, when three figures jumped out of an overhead ballon.

"Prepare for trouble!" announced a woman wearing an odd white outfit with a large red R on it.

"And make it double!" said a man that appeared to be the woman's counterpart.

"Watch what you're doing you idiots!" yelled Gohan. "You could have hurt somebody!"

"How rude!" the woman scoffed at Gohan.

"Never interupt the motto of the famous Team Rocket!!" replied the man.

"That's right! We're going to teach you some manners before we steal your pokemon!" said a small cat-like creature.

"I'm sorry, but I can't let you do that!" Gohan yelled defiantly.

"Who is this child anyway? We usually have to put up with those three brats." The man told the woman.

The woman laughed. "Who cares? He's too young to stop us." she commented. "Meowth, take care of him."

Meowth ran at Gohan with his claws extended yelling, "Meoowth!"

Before Meowth got there, Gohan punched it in the face and kicked meowth back towards the man and the woman. Meowth hit the woman in the face and landed on the ground unconcious. The woman started to yell at Meowth when she saw it was unconcious.

"Is that all you got?" Gohan yelled laughingly at the two people. Gohan punched and kicked the air a few times to emphasize his point.

"I don't see any pokemon tat would have been able to do that, do you, Jesse?" the man asked.

Jesse was looking around as well. "No I don't, James. I think we underestimated the squirt." She threw a pokeball from an unseen pocket and threw it. "Go, Arbok!" she yelled.

James followed suit. "Go, Weezing!"

Now there was a snake and a wierd ball like creature heading towards Gohan. Gohan grabbed the snake and hit it several times in the face. He then threw it at Jesse and sent her and her pokemon flying in the air. While James was stunned by her sudden exit, Gohan kicked Weezing at James and sent them flying as well.

"Looks like Team Rocket is blasting off again!" Jesse and James yelled.

Gohan yelled after them, "You forgot something!" and threw Meowth at them. All that could be seen of them was a dot.

Professor Oak was walking up to Gohan, laughing. "With you around, who needs pokemon?"

Gohan and Professor Oak laughed as they walked back to Oak's lab.
