Summoning Shenron, One Wish
Leaving Kame Island, it was already close to evening.
The last two Dragon Balls were not difficult for Talot to find.
With the Dragon Ball Radar and knowledge of the original plot, plus Son Gohan and Master Roshi as prerequisites, the Seven-Star Dragon Ball from Ox-King was easily obtained.
During this time, Talot also met Chi-Chi.
Chi-Chi at this time was the same age as Son Goku. It must be said that Ox-King's genes were strong; although his daughter looked delicate, she was much stronger than ordinary Earth babies.
Without staying at Frypan Mountain for too long, Talot spent less than half an hour finding the last One-Star Dragon Ball in an ancient ruin in a deep mountain forest.
With this, all seven Dragon Balls were gathered.
...
On Kami's Lookout.
A group of people gathered here.
After returning to West City, Talot brought Gine and Selari, as well as Bulma, here.
Instead of randomly finding a place on Earth to summon Shenron to make a wish, they came to Kami's Lookout to find Kami Piccolo and Popo.
The purpose was to use Kami's connections to ask Shenron a few simple questions.
Otherwise, one question would be one wish, and Talot was unwilling to waste it on that.
As for Kakarot's news, Talot didn't mention it for the time being, planning to tell Gine after making the wish.
They had waited this long, so a little longer wouldn't make a difference.
The seven Dragon Balls were neatly arranged together, placed in the center of the plaza in front of the temple.
"Come forth, Shenron."
As Popo recited the incantation to summon Shenron, the resonance from the seven Dragon Balls grew stronger.
Golden light bloomed from the inside of each Dragon Ball, flashing continuously until, finally, the light from the seven Dragon Balls burst out, so dazzling that it was difficult to look directly at them.
Under Talot's perception, and under everyone's gaze, a mysterious power seemed to be activated, flowing out from inside the Dragon Balls.
Even though they were on Kami's Lookout, where there could be no clouds due to the height, black clouds still rolled in from nowhere in the sky, spreading at an extremely fast speed.
In a short tens of seconds, the black clouds almost covered the entire Earth, preventing sunlight from shining through.
The light was blocked by darkness, a scene that made Selari, Gine, and Bulma incredulous and shocked.
This was just the beginning. The next second, golden pillars of light shot out from the seven Dragon Balls, soaring into the sky, stirring the black clouds, an exceptionally magnificent sight.
The brilliant golden light slowly converged into Shenron's body, and a surging dragon might (wēi) erupted. Its majestic figure hovered in the sky, as if the Dragon God had descended.
Green scales, sharp claws, blood-red eyes... the invisible pressure made people fearful.
Of course, this was only for those whose strength was not up to par.
For Talot, this kind of pressure could be ignored. Even Gine and Selari were the same; it was just that this was the first time they had truly witnessed Shenron's descent, which did bring them quite a shock.
"This is Shenron, who can grant wishes. It's truly unbelievable that such a creature exists in the world and resides inside the Dragon Balls," Gine said with emotion.
The moment she had been waiting for had finally arrived. She suddenly felt a sense of relief, as if Shenron could help her solve all her problems.
"It looks intimidating, but can it really grant wishes?" Selari was a little skeptical. Without experiencing it, there would always be doubts.
Bulma, on the other hand, thought differently and was already counting on her fingers, thinking about what wish to make.
Obviously, they didn't know that Shenron could only grant one wish at a time.
In fact, if Talot wasn't a transmigrator, he probably wouldn't have known either, since Kami hadn't mentioned it.
"You who have gathered the seven Dragon Balls, state your wish. Whatever the wish, this dragon can grant you one," Shenron said his classic line.
As soon as these words were spoken, Gine, Selari, and Bulma were all stunned.
"Only one wish can be granted?" Gine questioned.
Kami Piccolo stepped forward: "The Dragon Balls that I created, according to the settings, can only be used once a year, and only one wish can be granted each time. After the wish is fulfilled, Shenron will turn back into Dragon Balls and scatter around the world..."
Before Kami could finish speaking, Selari interjected impatiently, "Then can't we just find the Dragon Balls again and make another wish?"
Kami Piccolo was embarrassed and quickly explained, "Finding them won't help. Once the wish is granted, the Dragon Balls will turn to stone and Shenron can't be summoned again."
"Then does that mean the wishes I had in mind can't be fulfilled?" Bulma was a little disappointed.
Still young, she had assumed that summoning Shenron would grant all her wishes.
Now that she got this result, how could her immature mind accept it? However, Bulma seemed spoiled and self-centered on the surface, but she wasn't really unreasonable.
At her age, she was already a good girl who considered others.
She understood the priorities and knew that Talot and Gine needed to wish for the return of their family, so she felt she should yield.
Especially since she regarded Talot and Gine as family, she worked so hard to create the Dragon Ball Radar, partly for self-satisfaction and partly to help Talot and Gine.
"Talot, what do we do now?" Gine was at a loss for a moment, but she remained calm, looking at Talot, wanting to hear what he had to say.
All along, Talot had been the one making the decisions.
"I'll figure something out." He gave Gine a reassuring look.
Talot then looked at Kami Piccolo and said, "Although Shenron can only grant one wish, can we ask a few questions before making the wish? You are the creator of the Earth Dragon Balls and Shenron, so it shouldn't be a problem, right?"
After speaking, Talot looked at the majestic Shenron in the air and said, "Is that okay?"
Hearing this, everyone fell silent.
So did Kami Piccolo, and Shenron pondered for a long time.
Finally, Shenron's gaze swept over everyone and landed on Kami Piccolo, until Kami Piccolo nodded in agreement.
"Theoretically, although Kami created this dragon, the rules don't allow this. Your question counts as a wish! However, since Kami has agreed, and it's the first time, this dragon can make an exception.
"Of course, it's not without a price. Your questions will consume a certain amount of wish power based on this dragon's answers, so it will affect whether your final wish can be fulfilled. I don't know if you can accept that?"
Shenron's voice echoed in everyone's ears.
This was the answer Talot wanted.
"I can accept it," Talot nodded.
"Then, state your question," Shenron asked.
