章 16: Chapter 16: The Final Wish
After their daring escape from Pilaf's base with all seven Dragon Balls in hand, Goku, Bulma, and Oolong soared through the sky. The weight of their successful mission hung in the air, a mix of relief and anticipation. As they flew farther away from the fortress, Goku made a smooth descent, landing in a quiet, secluded area.
"Alright, we're far enough now," Goku said, setting Bulma and Oolong down gently. "It's time to make the wish."
Bulma took a deep breath, her mind racing as she thought about what she wanted. Despite the excitement, a sense of hesitation lingered. Goku's unwavering presence and the extraordinary journey they had shared made her feelings for him more complex than ever. She looked at Goku, who stood with a calm, expectant expression.
"Go ahead, Bulma," Goku encouraged, sensing her internal struggle. "What's your wish?"
Oolong, who had been observing the situation with a mix of curiosity and concern, spoke up. "Yeah, Bulma, what's your wish?"
Bulma hesitated, her eyes darting between the Dragon Balls and Goku. After a moment of contemplation, she finally spoke. "I wish for a perfect boyfriend."
Oolong's eyes widened in surprise, and he glanced at Goku. "A perfect boyfriend? Are you sure about that? I mean, if you had a perfect boyfriend, would he really want an imperfect girlfriend?"
Bulma's face flushed with realization. She hadn't fully considered the implications of her wish. As she thought about it, she realized that finding a perfect boyfriend might not bring her the happiness she truly sought. The journey had taught her that what she needed was not perfection, but someone who understood her and cared for her as she was.
Bulma shook her head, a determined look on her face. "No, you know what? I think it's a mistake. I'd rather not make the wish. I have everything I need right now."
Oolong looked relieved. "Are you sure? You could ask for something else."
Bulma nodded firmly. "I'm sure. I have everything I need and more."
Goku, recognizing the familiar dynamic from the original anime, knew Oolong might have been about to make a comment on the situation. With the issue of the wish resolved, Goku turned his attention to summoning Shenron. He closed his eyes, concentrating as he raised his hands and began to recite the ancient words of the Dragon Balls. The ground trembled slightly, and a brilliant light enveloped the area. Slowly, Shenron, the eternal dragon, emerged from the sky, his massive form casting a majestic shadow over the landscape.
Shenron's scales shimmered with a deep emerald hue, each movement of his serpentine body radiating immense power and glory. His eyes glowed like molten gold, and his voice, deep and resonant, echoed through the valley. "I am the Eternal Dragon, Shenron. You have summoned me. State your wish."
Goku stepped forward, his heart pounding with both hope and determination. "Shenron, I wish for an artifact that can gather energy from the world annually."
Shenron's eyes narrowed slightly. "Such a wish is within my power. I will provide you with the Cup of Monarch. It will gather energy from those with a power level above 5 ki once a year. The stronger the world, the greater the energy it will gather."
Shenron's eyes brightened, and his form seemed to shimmer even more intensely. A small, radiant crystal appeared in his claw, falling gently into Goku's outstretched hand. The crystal was not large, but it pulsed with a powerful energy that resonated through Goku's very being.
"The Cup of Monarch," Shenron announced, his voice echoing with the weight of his words. "It will collect energy from those with a power level above 5 ki. It is the maximum reserve I can provide."
Goku took the Cup of Monarch, feeling its weight and power. The artifact was a beautifully crafted goblet, adorned with intricate patterns and a deep, mystical glow. It seemed to hum with latent energy, promising great potential for creating and upgrading techniques.
"Thank you, Shenron," Goku said, his voice filled with genuine gratitude.
Shenron nodded, his form beginning to fade. "Your wish has been granted. Farewell."
With a final flash of light, Shenron vanished, leaving Goku, Bulma, and Oolong alone in the serene aftermath. The night sky was clear, and the stars shone brightly overhead, a testament to the success of their quest.
Goku smiled warmly at both of them. He reached out, gently grasping Bulma and Oolong, and they prepared to leave the area.
After the night's rest and a hearty meal, the trio prepared for their next steps. Morning arrived, and Goku and Bulma made their way to her home. The farewell was bittersweet but filled with a sense of accomplishment and camaraderie.
With Bulma safely home and the Dragon Balls secured, Goku turned to Oolong. "Now that our journey has come to an end, it's time to visit the shapeshifting school. We need to learn all the advanced techniques we can."
Oolong nodded in agreement. "Yes, let's head there and see what we can gain from the training."
With their next destination set, Goku and Oolong took to the skies once more, eager to uncover the advanced techniques of the shapeshifting school and prepare for the challenges that lay ahead.
