Chapter 17
Gohan rubbed the hair on the back of his head for the twentieth time that morning. His mom said that his hair was getting too long and that he should have his hair cut. His mom was about to do it herself, when Goku interrupted her and asked to be able to try it. Chichi reluctantly agreed, so instead of recieving the inevitable bowl-shaped cut his mom would have given him, he now had a semi-normal hair style with the front sticking up similarly to his father's hair.
Goku had been pleading with Chichi to let him train Gohan, but Chichi flatly refused. Goku gave up after a half an hour of attempting to reason with Chichi, and then went to train with Vegeta after breakfast, leaving Gohan to study in his room.
Gohan found himself mildly distracted from his work by his new haircut. He liked it, but he was still unaccustumed to having it so short. He found himself bored after studying for half an hour. After looking dazedly at his books, he heard a knock at the door.
His mom was busy, so Gohan answered the door. He was then greeted by Ash, Misty and Brock.
"Hey Gohan, are you busy?" Ash asked after greeting Gohan.
"He's studying. Why do you ask?" Chichi interrupted Gohan as she walked up behind him.
Ash was a bit off guard, but managed to mumble out a hello to Chichi with Brock and Misty. "We were wondering if he could come with us up to the mountains." Misty answered.
"He won't be able to join you. He needs to be studying." Chichi replied firmly.
"He could always bring his capsule desk and study up in the mountains with us." Brock offered.
Chichi thought for a moment. "I guess that would be fine." she agreed. "As long as it's okay with him, though." She looked over to Gohan.
"Sure!" Gohan answered enthusiastically.
Chichi nodded. "As long as you study, I'm okay with it. Just make sure you're back by dinner."
"Ok" Answered Gohan.
Ash, Brock Misty and Gohan then said goodbye and started on their way towards the mountains. As they walked out of hearing distance of the capsule house, Gohan turned to Brock. "Why did you guys want me to come with you, anyways?" he asked.
Brock turned around and made sure the capsule house was far away. "We wanted you to help us train our pokemon. We would ask your dad, but he's busytraining with Vegeta, and we're still uneasy around Piccolo." Brock answered.
"Oh." Gohan answered thoughtfully.
They walked up the mountain until they came to an area that was out of view of Pallat Town. Brock and Ash cleared a small section and got it ready to be used as a battle field. Brock called out Vulpix and Ash decided to use Pikachu. Gohan and Misty sat down on nearby rocks to watch.
Pikachu and Vulpix started by attempting to tackle one another, only to hit each other head on. After facing one another for several seconds, they jumped back and prepared for their trainers next command.
"Pikachu, use thundershock!" yelled Ash.
"Vulpix, take Pikachu down with a flamethrower attack!" shouted Brock.
"Pika...CHUUU!" cried Pikachu as he launched a lightning bolt towards Vulpix. Vulpix in turn opened it's mouth and launched a stream of flame towards the electic bolt. The attacks collided in midair, trying to push the opposing attack back at their opponent.
Misty looked at Gohan. "Are there any pointers you could give them?" she asked.
"Yeah," Gohan replied. "Always try to keep your opponent off guard. Never get caught in a routine." Gohan was about to yell it out loud when bothhe and the pokemon battle were interuppted.
"I see you're still battling with that pint-sized Pikachu." said an annoying voice. Gohan turned to see that the voice belonged to a boy a little taller and older than Ash. This boy also had brown hair.
"Gary..." snarled Ash. Pikachu was imitating Ash with a look of anger aimed at Gary.
"When did YOU get back?" asked Misty with a hint of impatience in her voice.
"I did this morning, and I came looking for Ash here." replied Gary. He looked at Gohan and added, "I see that he has another loser friend in his little group, now. He's even younger than Ash, too!"
Gohan clearly understood why the others reacted in sucha way when Gary arrived: Gary didn't respect them one bit. Gohan scowled in Gary's direction.
"Well, anyways," Gary continued. "I was curious if you would be interested in a pokemon battle, Ash."
"You bet I will!" Ash nearly yelled at Gary. Pikachu's body tensed in agreement. Brock recalled Vulpix and sat down next to Gohan.
Gary pulled out a pokeball and threw it. The ball opened and a bright red energy shot out and congealerd into a large blue creature. The creature's ears flared out like that of a rodent, and had a large horn between the ears, and a few smaller horns surrounding it. It stood upright and had a thick tail behind it. The blue pokemon seemed to be quite strong, and had a large and bulky body.
Pikachu gowled at the larger pokemon, and it responded with a deep rumble that sounded like a snarl. Ash and Gary shouted out commands and the two pokemon began to fight one another.
Gohan began watching the fight with interest, but the repetitive attacks and simple tactics caused him to quickly become bored. He then remembered that he promised to study, so he pulled a book out to read from it.
Gary's attention was mostly consumed in his pokemon battle, but he glanced at the 'audience' once in a while to see their reaction. He looked up and saw Gohan reading a book and became very annoyed. "Hey you!" he called at Gohan. "What's the matter? Not interesting enough for you?!" Gohan looked up from his book, but before he could respond, Gary yelled, "If you think you can do better, come down and show me!"
Gohan shrugged. "Okay." he said calmly as he climbed down some rocks to the make-shift arena. When he got there, the battle had completely stopped.
Ash looked at Gary. "Thats not a good idea, Gary..." he warned.
Gary shot Ash an annoyed look, then smirked. "I can understand if you're chicken Ash, but unlike you I know what I'm doing!"
Pikachu joined Ash as he muttered and climbed up to the area Misty and Brock sat. Ash sat beside Misty and put his head in his hands, fuming with anger. He shook his head. "There's just no reasoning with him." Ash muttered.
Gary looked at Gohan and asked him, "What's your name?"
"I'm Gohan." Gohan answered simply.
Gary stood there waiting for a few seconds, then asked Gohan, "Well, aren't you going to call out a pokemon?"
Gohan gave Gary a somewhat bewildered look. "Why would I need a pokemon?"
Gary was getting rather frustrated at Gohan. "This IS a pokemon battle you know?! You need to call a pokemon to fight!"
"I don't need one." replied Gohan. "I do my fighting myself."
Gary was exasperated. "Fine. Don't say I didn't warn you." Gary looked at his pokemon and shouted, "Horn attack!"
At Gary's command, the large blue pokemon charged at Gohan with it's horn. When the creature was about to hit Gohan, he simply grabbed the horn and stopped the pokemon from moving. Gary watched amazed as Gohan held to pokemon in position with little effort. The pokemon tried to attack Gohan with it's hands, and Gohan simply threw the creature over his shoulder.
Both Gary and his pokemon were stunned to see such a small boy accomplish such a feat. Gohan was waiting for the next attack when he noticed the look on Gary's face. Gohan smiled. "Ash tried to warn you..."
Gary snapped out of his daze. "How did you do that?!" he demanded.
Gohan shrugged. "I was taught martial arts when I was six, and I was trained hard. Besides, my dad and my mom were both powerful fighters."
Gary was sweating hard, fighting a war between pride and common sense in his mind. Shortly, pride won the battle. "I refuse to give up!" Gary announced. "Rock throw!"
Gary's pokemon tore up large chunks of dirt and rock out of the ground and hurled them at Gohan. Gohan dodged all but two of the boulders and let them smash against his body in Gary's futile attack.
After seeing Gohan completely unaffected by the attack, Gary was at a loss. Gary was about to give up when he remembered the last attack that his pokemon had left. It was a dangerous attack, but it was his olny hope of winning the battle, and he refused to give up in front of his rival, Ash. "Fissure attack!" he yelled abruptly.
The blue creature slammed its fists into the ground, causing the earth to split into a large crevase, heading in Gohan's direction. Gohan lazily floated above the ground andlanded in front of the large pokemon, almost taunting Gary. Any reservation the pokemon had aginst hurting humans vanished as it pounded on Gohan with its bare hands.
Gary watched as his pokemon hit Gohan time after time with no effect. Gary lifted his pokeball and recalled his pokemon. "I forfeit." he said quietly. Gary was still shocked to see a small kid defeat his pokemon with his bare hands. He looked up and saw Ash and his friends begin to climb down from their postions and decided that he wouldn't be able to face them now. "I have to be going." he said hurridly as he took of running away from the group.
Ash excitedly ran up to Gohan. "You sure showed Gary!"
Gohan was staring at the dissapearing figure of Gary. "I think that I showed him a little too much..." he said worridly.
"Yeah..." Misty said also looking in the direction Gary left in. "Ive seen him on our travels, and that was the first time I've ever seen him act like that..."
Ash shrugged. "I guess you're right. I did warn him though..."
The rest of the morning was spent with Brock and Ash battling their pokemon and Gohan giving them some help with their tactics. Gohan tried giving Misty some pointers, but many of them were wasted since the only one of them that had arms and legs was a duck, and it couldn't use them very well. Gohan tried to help regardless, using his fishing experiences as examples.
At noon, Brock prepared lunch using his cookware and the food be brought in his backpack. They sat quietly and ate, while Brock was looking at Gohan, thinking 'I'm glad Gohan doesn't eat like his dad does.'
They packed up after lunch and were going to continue training when Goku abruptly appeared in front of them.
Gohan ran up to Goku. "Hey, Dad! What's going on?"
Goku pulled out a small pouch and smiled. "One of Bulma's associates was able to get a hold of Yajarobi and got him to bring some sensu beans down to the Capsule Corp building. I am going to go and see Kuririn and give him one. Do you want to come too?"
"Sure!" Gohan answered enthusiastically. Gohan turned to the three pokemon trainers. "Keep training with those pointers I gave you."
Goku put his hand on Gohan's shoulder and put two fingers to his head and they were gone. Ash, Brock and Misty blinked a few times still staring at the spot Gohan and Goku occupied only moments before.
Misty and Brock were tending to their pokeballs when Ash turned to them. "What's so special about beans?" he asked. Brock and Misty looked at Ash and shrugged.
*********
Kuririn was finally starting to feel better. Several of his bones were healing and his body was no longer as sore as it had been before. He was now able to move around, since many of his bandages were removed.
He was currently reading a magazine that a nurse gave him to pass the time, since there really was nothing else for him to do. Kuririn sighed and layed his magazine down on a nearby end table. He read it several times already, and he couldn't find any reason to read it again.
Kuririn sat back on the bed and said aloud, "I wish Goku or Gohan were around to keep me company."
The air in front of his bed shimmered for a fraction of a second and Goku and Gohan took the place of the vacant air. Kuririn was staring at them in disbelief. Goku looked at Kuririn and smiled at him. "Hi Kuririn!" he greeted happily.
Kuririn brought himself back to reality when he heard Goku's greeting. "Hi guys!" he said excitedly. "What brings you two here?"
Goku pulled a pouch from his belt. "I got a hold of some sensu beans and I figured you would want one." he replied.
Kuririn smiled and laughed happily. "That's great Goku! Let me have it."
Goku handed Kuririn the small bean and ate it happily. Kuririn was instantly healed and he unwrapped the bandages he was used to wearing for the past few days. Kuririn was about to run over to Goku when he realized he almost forgot something. "What are we going to do about the hosptal bill?" he asked worridly. He knew that their oney would be no good here.
Goku pulled a bundle of money in a currency that none of them recognized. "Professor Oak let us borrow some money in exchange for Capsule Corp technolgy." Goku threw the wad of money on the bed. "I hope that will cover it."
Kuririn shrugged. "Well, Iguess that's everything, then." he walked over to Goku and put his arm on his back. Goku put his arm on Gohan's shoulder and put the other hand to his forhead and they were gone.
