This Is Definitely Not Dragon Ball!!

Below Korin Tower, little Upa was stumbling and chasing butterflies across the grass, while Bora stood by the riverbank not far away, gripping a spear and intently watching the water's surface.

At a certain moment, a sharp glint flashed in Bora's eyes, and he suddenly thrust the spear into the river.

Splash!

Amid the sound of rushing water, Bora pulled a large fish from the river.

"Bora, Upa!"

Someone was calling their names. Bora looked up and saw Yuujin and Goku descending from the sky on a golden and a black cloud.

"Goku, come catch butterflies."

"Okay, okay!"

Little Upa called out in a childish voice, and Goku replied happily, then jumped off the Golden Nimbus to join Upa in catching butterflies.

"Yuujin, Son Goku, are you hunting again?"

"No, we've finished our training at Korin Tower and are planning to leave. We're here to say goodbye to you."

Bora asked, but Yuujin shook his head.

"I see. Congratulations."

Bora was slightly surprised, then gave a sincere smile.

Since Yuujin and Son Goku had completed their training, their strength must have increased significantly.

After chatting with Bora and Upa for a while, Yuujin prepared to leave.

"Goku, it's time to go."

"Oh."

The two jumped onto the Golden Nimbus and Black Nimbus. Remembering something, Yuujin turned to Bora and said:

"Bora, Master Korin asked me to pass on a message. He's been watching you from the tower, and he hopes that one day you can climb up Korin Tower; he'll be waiting for you there."

Bora had once challenged Korin Tower but, after failing, developed a sense of reverence and had not attempted it again. In reality, Master Korin hadn't said any of this; Yuujin was merely using it to motivate Bora.

"Master Korin has been watching us…"

"I will definitely train hard and climb Korin Tower someday to meet Master Korin!"

As the guardian of the tower for generations, Bora felt an overwhelming sense of recognition from Master Korin's "message" to him and his ancestors, almost moving him to tears. He nodded resolutely and with enthusiasm.

Humans are such miraculous beings—give them hope and motivation, and they can create miracles. Bora already possessed considerable strength, and with diligent training in the future, climbing Korin Tower should not be an impossible feat.

Having nothing else to address, Yuujin and Goku said their final farewells to Bora and Upa.

"Goodbye, Bora, Upa."

"Goodbye, Yuujin, Son Goku."

…

In the sky, the Black Nimbus and Golden Nimbus, carrying Yuujin and Goku, chased each other across the heavens.

"Yuujin, where are we heading now?"

Flying beside Yuujin on the Golden Nimbus, Goku asked.

"We're going to collect the Dragon Balls."

A faint smile appeared on Yuujin's face.

"What are Dragon Balls?"

"They're the orbs like the one hanging around your neck. There are seven Dragon Balls in total, and if you gather all of them, you can summon a big dragon and make a wish. The one you have is the Three-Star Ball, and now we're going to find the other six."

"So, this is a Dragon Ball? That's amazing!"

"Can the big lizard really grant any wish? Then, when we gather all the Dragon Balls, let's wish for lots of delicious food!"

Upon hearing Yuujin's explanation, Goku picked up the glass ball given to her by Master Roshi and looked at it carefully, then made a suggestion.

"We can make food ourselves. If we're going to wish, it has to be for something bigger. And wait, I said big dragon, not big lizard?!"

Yuujin chuckled at the food-loving Goku.

"Is that so…"

"Well, I'll leave it up to you, Yuujin!"

Goku didn't know what kind of wish would be worthwhile, but she didn't bother to think about it. As long as she could always stay with Yuujin, she was content. Whatever Yuujin decided was fine with her.

The two fell silent, with Goku lying on the Golden Nimbus and admiring the scenery below, while Yuujin fell into thought.

The Dragon Balls were scattered across the world, and without a Dragon Radar, collecting them would be nearly impossible.

Speaking of the Dragon Radar, Bulma naturally came to mind!

In the original Dragon Ball, Bulma was the inventor of the Dragon Radar, and her device was highly accurate.

However, based on the timeline, Bulma should only be about 10 years old now, so Yuujin wasn't sure if she could make a Dragon Radar at this age.

Regardless, Yuujin still planned to visit Bulma. It had been six years since they last met, and he wondered if she still remembered him.

If his memory served him right, Yuujin recalled that Bulma's family lived in West City, and her father, Dr. Brief, was famous for inventing the Hoi-Poi Capsules and was also the president of Capsule Corporation. It shouldn't be difficult to find her house once they reached West City.

After confirming the direction, Yuujin and Goku accelerated their flight. Before long, the Black Nimbus and Golden Nimbus carried them over West City.

"Is that the city? It's amazing…"

Goku, who had spent most of her life with Yuujin and Master Roshi on the island, was seeing a real city for the first time. Her big, bright eyes sparkled with excitement.

"Goku, let's go down."

"Mm."

They slowed down the Golden Nimbus and Black Nimbus, descending into the bustling city below.

West City was a prosperous metropolis with people and vehicles everywhere. As Yuujin and Goku flew down on their clouds, they quickly drew the attention of passersby.

"Those two flew down from the sky on strange clouds."

"Is that some kind of new transportation? It looks amazing."

Amidst the curious comments of the crowd, Yuujin and Goku leisurely floated above the heads of the people on the Black Nimbus and Golden Nimbus.

It was Goku's first time in such a lively city, and she looked around with the curiosity of a child, constantly exclaiming in wonder, while Yuujin felt a touch of nostalgia.

It had indeed been a long time since he had visited a human city like this.

"Sniff, sniff… What's that over there?"

Goku seemed to have smelled something delicious and pointed at a nearby shop.

"That's ice cream. Want some?"

Yuujin glanced at the shop, then replied.

"Yes!!!"

Drooling, Goku nodded vigorously.

"Then let's go buy two."

To be continued…

P.S 

Goku's Nimbus will now be referred to as Golden Nimbus.
