As the boat glided gently along the meandering river, Turles, Bulma, Kakarot, and Oolong found themselves engrossed in the unfolding adventure. Bulma had realized the potential of Oolong's shape-shifting ability, and the mischievous little pig's antics had proven both amusing and exasperating.

However, as they approached the next destination, Fire Mountain, Oolong's anxiety got the better of him. He transformed into a fish and leaped out of the boat, hoping to avoid the impending danger. Kakarot sprang into action, diving after Oolong to bring him back to safety.

But Bulma, resourceful as ever, had a unique way of enticing Oolong back on board. She cleverly used her feminine wiles, and with a pair of her panties as bait, she lured the shape-shifting pig back into the boat, much to Turles' bemusement.

Once they were back on the boat, Bulma handed Oolong what she called a "vitamin," encouraging him to take it for his well-being. Turles shook his head, knowing well that Bulma's concoctions often had unpredictable results.

As the journey progressed, the boat eventually ran out of gas, leaving them stranded on the shore. But Bulma, never one to be deterred, turned to Oolong for a solution. The resourceful pig morphed into a paddle, allowing them to reach the shore safely.

On the shore, however, Bulma's focus shifted to her missing DynoCaps. She accused Oolong of stealing them, prompting the little pig to slink away, feeling guilty and anxious.

In a playful twist, Bulma made the "piggy" sound, knowing full well its peculiar effect on Oolong. Unable to resist the call of nature, Oolong hurriedly excused himself to find a restroom.

Taking advantage of the situation, Bulma revealed the true nature of the "vitamin" she had given Oolong, explaining that it triggered his need to use the bathroom whenever someone made the "piggy" sound. Oolong's chagrin was evident, but he couldn't help but chuckle at the clever trick.

As the sweltering sun beat down on Diablo Desert, Turles, Kakarot, Bulma, and Oolong pressed on, their quest for the Dragon Balls leading them through the unforgiving sands. The scorching heat weighed heavily on Bulma's spirits, and she couldn't help but vent her frustrations in a fiery temper tantrum, yearning for the comfort of her cherished capsules.

"I can't believe we have to walk in this dreadful desert! My capsules are so much more convenient!" Bulma exclaimed, her voice laced with annoyance and exhaustion.

Kakarot, finding humor in Bulma's outburst, chuckled softly while Turles sighed, his patience evident as he tried to soothe their exasperated companion. But as the sun's relentless rays took their toll, Bulma's strength waned, and she collapsed under the oppressive heat, drifting into unconsciousness.

With Bulma now in his arms, Turles took on the responsibility of carrying her, his strong and caring nature prevailing. As they traversed the desert, unbeknownst to them, a pair of cunning eyes watched from afar. A blue cat, Puar, spied on the group through a telescope, reporting their presence to a mysterious man. The duo mounted a flying bike, the Jet Squirrel, and soared towards Turles, Kakarot, and Oolong.

The man introduced himself as Yamcha, the Desert Bandit, a seasoned troublemaker in Diablo Desert. He demanded their money or capsules if they wanted to escape this arid expanse. To their surprise, Oolong recognized the cat as Puar, who held a shared history from Shapeshifting Academy. But Puar's memories were tinged with bitterness, recalling Oolong's past as a bully.

Yamcha saw an opportunity to challenge the newcomers, particularly Kakarot, who wielded a mysterious Power Pole. He engaged Kakarot in combat, employing his Wolf Fang Fist technique with fierce determination. The clash of powers and skills was intense, and Yamcha couldn't help but wonder if Kakarot was related to the legendary Gohan, the only person who could possess such a remarkable pole.
