Dragon Ball

This is a retelling of how Goku began his adventures; from the first encounters with Bulma, Oolong, Puar, and Yamcha, up to his learning Kamehame-Ha just by watching Master Roshi using the technique, to the calling of the Dragon God, Shenron. This time, Goku's origins are tied in with the evil King Gurumes (who wants the Dragon Balls to wish to put a stop to his endless hunger), and the King's minions, Raven and Bongo (these two are using the quest for the Dragon Balls to cover the fact that they are greedily raping the countryside to gather up valuable "Rich Stones"). Bulma still wants to wish for a nice boyfriend, and Yamcha still wants the Dragon Balls to wish for his fear of women to be gone. Bulma ends up summoning Shenlong before Gurumes can, but Penny, the daughter of the local mayor, shouts out her wish first -- for the countryside to be restored to its original state, prior to the discovery of Rich Stones. Shenlong does this, and causes the stones to disappear. Gurumes becomes a normal deformed human that likes to eat apples, and Goku zips off to find his Sûshinchû (Si Xing Qiu, the 4-star ball) again.
