Dragon Ball: Yamcha's Rebirth

Chapter 23 - Life 23: Popo... Well he’s nothing

"Yes Master I'm opening it now!"

Hearing this Pilaf just nodded before Shu opened up the old rice cooker. And slowly the demon king that had been slumbering inside the cooker made an exit out as he began stretching his hands and legs.

"CRACK!!"

"SNAPP!!"

"POPP!!"

Were the noises that echoed out as the being fixed himself up for life once again.

———_______———

Doing as Korin said, Yamcha flew up to the top of Korin's Abode as soon ten minutes had passed as Yamcha was constantly ascending upwards.

"SHING!!"

And suddenly the token given by Korin had begun glowing in a strange white light as soon Yamcha's body was covered in particles of light before he disappeared out of sight.

"Wait-What's happen-..."

Before Yamcha could finish off his sentence he was transported away into the Lookout, immediately he appeared and he saw a great white area in front with the occasional palm trees and vegetation surrounding the Lookout.

And in the middle of it all was where all the rooms were located. But before Yamcha could make it any further suddenly a strange humanoid that looked like a genie of sorts stopped him.

"Hello, my name is Mr Popo, Kami's assistant and who might you be-also why are you in this sacred land human explain!"

"First of all my name is Yamcha, and I'm currently standing in the sacred land because I have cleared Master Korin's Training and he said if I took this token and flew up I would be transported to the Lookout"

"He said he has nothing left to teach me any longer and that to seek further improvement the only answer was the Lookout!"

"He said that Kami was up in this area and I was hoping to exchange some pointers with him, but since he's not here can I battle against you Mr Popo?"

".... Very well if you prove yourself within combat I'll gladly call out Kami for you, now get ready..!"

"All right then Mr Popo, let's commence our battle!"

"... Hmm, your the first earthling I've ever tested. This will be delightful!"

"Hmm so our battle lasts until one of us raises the white flags and surrenders right, well your certainly going to be surprised!"

After this Yamcha put out his signature stance as the inner wolf within him materialised behind his back as the silver Wolf reared it's head back as it's mouth spouted out frost and it's eyes sizzled with thunder the Wolf was ready to pierce the enemy with its fangs.

"I'm already excited earthling, and your stance complements your figure quite well!"

"But I'm afraid all your going to feel is pain!"

After that Yamcha's body began to flicker in and out as soon his body became normal.

"VRNNN!!"

it seems he had just used the Zanzoken as a way to attack Mr Popo, using his image as a decoy the teenager went in for the attack.

"Oh my~ what should I do the boys gone- oh no is he going to attack my sides who knows... Could he be here- KYOOOM!"

As the Otherworldly being was speaking his body suddenly let out an arm swing to the right, as it seemingly made contact with another being causing them to stumble back in pain.

"AAAUGGHH!!"

Said Yamcha as his plan failed and his visage became seen once again his decoy had dissipated also as he coughed some blood.

"Owww, what'd you do that for!"

"Oh! Lucky me- I totally never read your movements!"

Seeing the genie merely jesting with him the boy picked himself up as he touched the left side of his face with pain evident in his expression, "Man- it seems he really is the dark lord, he defeated me like it was nothing- one swing as well I guess his BP is about 300"

"Hah, That was an accident you have yet to witness my true power Mr Popo!"

"After all... I was only using 2% percent of my power, Hehehe!"

"FWOOSH!"

"I have to say this but don't you think you run your mouth a bit too much little boy!"

'Little boy' thought Yamcha as he thought 'well I'll make you eat your words Popo!'

Yamcha rushed at Popo with his fist outwardly extended as if to punch into Popo's solar plexus and show him who the boss really was.

"ZOOOM-BOOM!!"

And just as he was within 12 centimetres of Popo suddenly the genie stretched his hand out and gave him a palm attack on the forehead.

"BWAK!!"

"YE-OUCHH!!"

After the palm attach had occurred Yamcha fell to his knees as he held onto his forehead with pain etched onto his face.

"Ouch-Damn that hurt!"

"Oh~, Lucky Me Little Boy!"

"I think Korin thinks too much of you and gained a bias for you maybe because he thinks of you as a little brother, your not much much strong at all to be honest if this is all you can muster- Korin told me you were stronger than Piccolo Daimao. Guess I was wrong!!"

Hearing this Yamcha clearly became enraged as his eyes became wide open and his mouth made a grit sound- his face turned red from anger as Popo's words constantly echoed in his mind.

'Your not much much strong at all... I expected too much... Korin Was Wrong...'

'No how can I protect my loved ones when i can't even land a hit on Popo- no I need to get my act together, I need to think calm and composedly or else I'll fall into Popo's attacks again- I need to clear my mind of negative emotions I need to achieve a state of Zen.'

"Hey boy wake up and stop daydreaming weren't you gonna train under Kami-huh what happened to that confidence!"

Hearing this Yamcha picked himself up as this time he had a calm and serene face, as I'd immune to Popo's thoughts- and it seems he achieved a state of Zen.

"Hmph it's useless to now provoke me, I won't underestimate you no longer and attack with my full power be prepared Popo..."

"Your going to regret making fun of me, just you wait..."

"Hmm, am I really little boy!"

As Popo was talking Yamcha released some Ki-Blasts straight at Popo but he deflected them all as they headed into the sky and soon the whole sky was littered with yellow orbs filled with a luscious glint.

'Hmph the fools fallen right into my trap!"

After my reckless throwing of Ki I gathered some strength in my legs as I blitzed towards Popo and smacked him with my right arm though he blocked it and this back and forth carried on for a while.

"... BOOM!!"

"... BANG!!"

"... SMASHH!!"

"... RAAARGH!!"

After this I went in for a flying kick at Popo who seemed to be unguarded.

"Don't you dare mock me again!"

But as my kick went through "poof" it was an afterimage of his. "Wha-..." But before I could regain my ground the genie kicked me away.

"... BOOOT!!"

Before I fell I quickly grabbed hold of a pole that was adorned with mystical talismans as not to lose my ground and swung myself from there at Popo.

"Mr Popo's disappointed, I'm surprised Korin even sent you to meet Kami in such a state, I can't let you meet him with such futile strength!"

"... DAH DAH DAH!!"

"... DOOOM!!"

Were the noises that echoed out as I rushed to Popo in an effort to attack him.

And surprisingly he was caught off guard this time and I managed to consistently throw punch after punch at him but I wasn't done no it was only the beginning.

I grinned as I remembered the plan I created- 'while fighting feign weakness and flaws until you pretend to become enraged allowing your opponent to read your moves then blast them with accurate punches and kicks before using your ultimate attack!'

"... RAAARGH, you will pay!!"

"... BOOM!!"

"... BANG!!"

"... SMASHH!!"

And the punches were so effective that Yamcha had made Popo fall.

Once he saw the signal he shouted out loud.

"Activate Trap Card: WOLF WIND WAVE- ATTACK!!"

And soon after countless yellow orbs fell from the sky as they rained down onto Mr Popo evidently creating great pain for the genie as he struggled to even move.

But before he could finish him suddenly an aged green figure appeared out of nowhere and raised his wrinkled hand and soon every attack was turned into dust this mysterious being stopped Yamcha's strongest attack like it was nothing.
