Gohan then turns to the hill, and runs up it. We see that he is running towards his house. He stops short though, and thinks. He then thinks to his mom that he will be back soon, and as if Gohan transmitted the signal by psychic powers, Chi-Chi stares out the window. Gohan is long gone though. He runs through the woods, crying, but ready to train. He sees Piccolo who has been waiting for him. He tells him he wants to continue training, so they do.
Back on Snake Way, Goku is making excellent progress, and is nearing the end. He sees a giant palace, and decides to stop off there to rest. When he goes in, he is greeted by a green lizard-like being, who introduces herself. She feeds Goku, but when he says that he's got to go, she manipulates him into having a little more to eat. He agrees, but this time, his food is drugged so that he falls asleep. He does just that, and the lizard women transform into horrible little minions, who are sneering, and preparing to do something to Goku. Before they can though, he sits up, forcing them to quickly transform back into their normal form. The queen of the lizard people talks Goku into having one more bit of food, which is heavily drugged this time, but again Goku wakes up, and this time he notices them transforming. He speaks to them of what he saw in a dream, and realizes that they are bad guys. The halls change shape, and the people disappear. Goku seems to be trapped. He manages to escape though, and sees that the room was actually a giant snake. It starts to move, then takes itself from its normal pose, and goes after Goku, breathing fire at him. He manages to dodge it, and flies up into the air. The snake follows him, and Goku cunningly manages to make the snake tangle itself up by going after him, then he flies away, towards King Kai's place.
The training goes well for everyone, and Goku finally arrives at Kai's place with 2 months to spare. He jumps, and reaches the island floating in the air. As soon as he lands though, he crashes down to the floor. He can't seem to stand up, and is having incredible trouble getting to his feet. After a while though, he manages it, and struggles over to a monkey standing on a path. Goku assumes this is King Kai, and begins talking to him. After a short while, King Kai comes out of his house, and introduces himself, making Goku look stupid (as usual). He informs him that the only way to get him to train him, is to make him laugh. Goku tries a few times, and fails miserably. In the end, he delivers joke so badly, that it makes Kai laugh at him. He agrees to train him, and tells him that his first time is to catch Bubbles the monkey. It is now that he is informed that the gravity is 10 times on Kai's planet than it is on Earth.
After a bit of complaining, Goku starts after Bubbles. He can't get close to him for a while, but after he gets used the gravity, he starts to get really close. In the end, he works out that if he runs the opposite direction to Bubbles, then he has a chance of catching him. He does this, making the monkey almost wet himself upon seeing the saiyan. He changes direction before Goku can grab him, but full of determination, Goku runs the other way, in hope of cutting him off again. Eventually he catches him, and King Kai comments to himself what massive potential Goku has.
After a short lunch break, where Goku scoffs loads, Kai takes him back outside, and makes a hammer appear in one hand. He tosses it to Goku, and it is caught, but sends the saiyan straight down to the ground. He struggles to pick it up, and Kai comments on how he's never given anyone such a heavy hammer. Kai whistles, and in zips Gregory, a tiny little cricket, who moves super fast. He goes into the air, and gets ready. He charges up, then flies at Goku, and knocks him down before he can even pick up the hammer. This continues for a while until Goku gets the hang of it, and chases Gregory round the island. He can't catch him, so he forms a plan. He throws the hammer backwards, and runs after Gregory again. The hammer flies at the face of the cricket, and he narrowly dodges it, but Goku catches it, and aims for his head. Gregory manages to outrun him though, and Goku tries the same thing again. In almost no time at all, Kai's planet has been totally destroyed by Goku's misses. They stop for food, and Goku immediately drops his hammer, and runs in. Kai explains to Gregory that Goku eating all that food speeds him up instead of slowing him down.
They return outside, and Goku runs after Gregory, this time managing to hit him with a slight tap on the head. Gregory protests that he hardly felt it, but up sprouts a small lump, which dwarfs the little cricket in comparison to him. Gregory throws a bit of a fit, then settles down. Goku laughs with Bubbles, and eventually Gregory, as King Kai looks on wondering about whether Goku could be the first person to learn Kai-O-Kan.
The next few weeks past by, and Goku is ready to learn the Kai-o-Kan. Kai explains how to do it, and Goku gives it a try. He succeeds, but is warned only to use it if it is absolutely necessary.
Goku then goes over everything he has learnt. He goes after Bubbles, and catches him in less than a second. He then hits Gregory with the mallet, and once again accomplishes his task in under a second. It is now time to go over the spirit bomb once again. He draws the energy from the planet he is on, and forms it into a ball. Kai manipulates objects with his mind, and tells Goku to feel them out, before he throws them at him. Goku closes his eyes, and throws the balls of energy at the objects, destroying them easily. Kai reminds him that this is only a small planet, and that it will take way longer to gather energy for a spirit bomb back on Earth.
