Chapitre 64: Son Gohan's Gratitude! The Most Important Thing Right Now
"I want to know, what was this child's original name?"
After a bit of talk, Talot and Son Gohan sat down to talk, while Kakarot affectionately lay on Talot's shoulder, tugging at Talot's hair.
After hearing the full story, Talot learned that Kakarot indeed fell off a cliff and hit his head two months after arriving on Earth, which caused him to become the obedient and well-behaved child he is now.
However, although he no longer remembered his past, for the child Kakarot, or rather, Goku as he should now be called, he still instinctively felt a sense of closeness from Talot.
There's a saying that blood is thicker than water. Although Talot and he do not have a real blood relationship, no one can guarantee that their parents, or even their ancestors in the previous generation, did not have a blood relationship.
In short, they were both Saiyans, which meant they shared a close bloodline.
"Kakarot! That was his original name. But now that things have turned out this way, let's just call him Goku from now on. I think his life here is pretty good," Talot responded to Son Gohan's question, expressing his thoughts.
Hearing Talot's words, Son Gohan became happy.
At his age, with one foot already in the grave, it was like heaven had blessed him by sending him a child, adding some unusual color to his previously dull life.
Even though this child was a Saiyan and had been picked up by him, over the past six months, Son Gohan had already come to think of him as his own grandson.
"Kakarot, does this name have any special meaning? Or does it represent something?" Son Gohan didn't ask if what Talot said was true or not; instead, he focused on the name, not understanding the logic behind this kind of naming.
Talot felt a bit helpless. Saiyan's way of naming things is just the English homophone of a vegetable.
But this explanation came from the original author's setting in his previous life, not in this world.
"You can think of it as us Saiyans naming people casually. The name doesn't have any particular meaning," Talot replied.
Son Gohan nodded, not doubting him, and they soon steered the conversation towards the topic of strength.
Talot didn't hold back and shared everything, allowing Son Gohan to understand just how strong he really was.
The worldview and perspective of Earthlings was limited to Earth because of their level.
However, Son Gohan was indeed wiser than expected. Although he was shocked when he sensed Talot's aura, he didn't lose his composure.
One could say that martial artists of this era, especially those who had reached a certain realm, had a strong capacity for acceptance.
There's too little description of Son Gohan in the original work. The only thing we know for sure is that Master Roshi believed he had immense potential. In fact, Master Roshi deeply regretted Son Gohan's death, feeling that a rising star in the world of martial arts had fallen.
In this era's Earth martial arts community, Son Gohan has a renowned reputation.
This was evident from Yamcha's words when he first appeared in the original work, expressing reverence for Son Gohan.
Taking this opportunity, Talot and Son Gohan discussed their understanding of martial arts, exchanged knowledge about training, and even delved into the uses of Ki.
In Talot's eyes, even though Son Gohan's power level was only around 100, he had indeed paved a path in the training of Ki, making him a true martial arts master.
"Thank you for your guidance. Let's leave it at that for today. I need to go find the other Dragon Balls. The next time we meet, I'll ask for more advice," Talot said, getting up to leave since he had been at Mount Paozu for almost two hours.
Moreover, he still needed to find the remaining four Dragon Balls.
"Unfortunately, I only know that one of the Dragon Balls is with Master Roshi, so I can't help you much more," Son Gohan said.
When Talot first heard this from Son Gohan, he was a bit surprised by the news.
However, after thinking it through, he came to the conclusion that it made sense since Master Roshi had found his Dragon Ball in the ocean a hundred years ago. It would be odd if Son Gohan didn't know about it.
It's also worth noting that Son Gohan only learned the true name and function of the Dragon Balls after being told by Talot. He was shocked to discover that the items he and Master Roshi had treated as decorations were actually created by Kami and could summon Shenron to grant wish.
Talot obtained the Four-Star Dragon Ball from Son Gohan, which was a gesture of gratitude for not taking Goku away.
Talot could tell that Son Gohan was happy because he got to keep his beloved grandson with him.
However, Talot also shared some important information, warning Son Gohan to be prepared. Just because he wasn't taking Goku now didn't mean that Gine, Goku's mother, wouldn't take him when she arrived in the future.
Even though Goku had lost his memory and didn't recognize his mother, Gine was still his mother, and that fact wouldn't change.
If that time came, Son Gohan wouldn't be able to stop Gine from taking Goku away.
Of course, Talot promised to mediate when that time came.
In any case, he won't know what will happen until he goes back and tells Gine the news. He'll have to wait and see what Gine decides to do.
"We'll meet again soon," Talot said to the young Goku as he took off into the sky.
At this moment, Goku felt as if something very important was about to disappear. He stretched out his hands towards Talot, babbling and shouting.
Seeing this, Son Gohan quickly picked up Goku and looked up at Talot as he flew away.
Goku only calmed down after Talot's figure disappeared. Son Gohan, holding Goku in his arms, couldn't help but exclaim, "A Saiyan, huh? Our little Goku is actually an alien! Ho ho ho~!"
His kind laughter echoed across the mountain, mingling with Goku's joyful giggles.
…
After leaving Mount Paozu, Talot flew southeast.
That was the direction Son Gohan had told him, where Kame House was located.
However, along the way, Talot picked up a new Dragon Ball signal, causing him to change his course. He found the fourth Dragon Ball in a village.
This Six-Star Dragon Ball, unsurprisingly, was the same one that, in the original work, was found by Oolong's grandmother.
But now that Talot had found it, who knows how the story would unfold in the future. After all, it was thanks to the Dragon Balls that Bulma met Goku, and after a series of adventures, they encountered Oolong...
Shaking his head, Talot pressed on towards Kame House.
The storyline had already changed significantly, and whether it would continue to follow the original plot was no longer something worth worrying about.
In other words, Talot was living in this world now. No matter what the future held, he needed to focus on his present situation first.
