[edit] Summary
Bulma, Goku and Oolong are in a boat passing throught a river. Bulma decides that Oolong and his shape shifting ability can be very useful on their quest. Oolong then changes into a fish and jumps out of the boat when he hears that the next place they are going to is Fire Mountain. Goku goes after him but before he can catch him, Bulma lures Oolong back into the boat with a pair of her panties (Money in the Ocean Group Dub). Back on the boat Bulma hands Oolong a "vitamin" and she says he should take it because it is good for him. The boat then runs out of gas has Oolong to turn into a paddle so they can get to shore.
On shore Bulma finds out her DynoCaps are missing and yells at Oolong saying he stole them. Oolong sneaks off and Bulma makes the "piggy" sound which makes Oolong have to go to the bathroom. Then Bulma tells Oolong that the "vitamin" she gave him was really a pill that makes him go to the bathroom whenever someone makes the "piggy" sound. Bulma has Oolong change into the motorbike, but when Bulma gets on the bike she falls because Oolong doesn't get stronger when he changes shape and says that it doesn’t matter anyways because he can only hold a shape for five minutes.
As time passes they are now walking in the Diablo Desert Bulma eventually goes crazy in need of the luxury of her capsules and passes out in the heat. Far into the distance a blue cat is spying with a telescope on a rock telling a man that victims are present. The two ride a flying bike up to Goku and Oolong and the man introduces himself as Yamcha. Oolong then notices the cat as Puar who went to Shapeshifting Academy with him and Puar remembers Oolong as a bully.
Yamcha wanting to rob them begins to fight Goku using his sword and Goku fights back using his Power Pole. Realizing that Goku is powerful Yamcha questions Goku of being the grandson of Gohan due to it being the only person who could have had that pole. Resuming their fight Yamcha pulls out his powerful trick the Wolf Fang Fist. Knocking Goku into several rock Oolong turns into a fly and tries to fly away. Puar becomes a fly swatter and knocks Oolong out of his form.
Oolong was about to hand Yamcha a capsule to save himself but Goku gets out of the rocks and yells at Yamcha. Yamcha decides to to take down goku with another wolf fang fish but just before Yamcha gets to, Bulma starts to wake up and Yamcha spots her. Yamcha is stunned by her and falls over and rushes away. Bulma getting a quick glance of yamcha falls in love with him while back at his hideout Yamcha reminds Puar of his fear of women and that he will get Goku back.
