"Yes... *Sigh, it has long been my shame but yet I can't do anything of it as it remains...

And I can feel that my other half has already become stronger than me it's evident he's been training for anyone who would prove his strength wrong and defeat him.

It means you'll need to begin training as best as you can..."

"Mr Popo, I leave you here to guide his training.

And I hope you unlock his latent potential..."

"Now Yamcha, remember there are billions of lives at stake if you don't grow in strength and skills...

So train hard..."

———_______———

"Our first lesson will be about meditation and concentration.

Yamcha to truly be as silent as the skies and as fast as lightning.

You'll need to let go of your worldly thoughts and focus solely on the task at hand;

Clearing your mind, and defeating Piccolo."

"Yes, Mr Popo."

Exclaimed Yamcha as the wild-haired martial artist, sat down cross-legged with his eyes shut wide.

He put his hands together forming almost a triangle in shape as he began to calm himself down.

Then he began to relax as he bathed in the sun's rays as the golden yellow orb of light rained down upon the lookout illuminating the area with light so bright one could lose their sight.

"Yamcha you are doing well, now that you've cleared your mind of unnecessary things.

Think of all your battles so far imagine them again and again until you realise your flaws within them and try to fix them so as to reduce unnecessary movements for example."

Hearing this Yamcha searched through the memories of the soul he merged with and saw that.

This was called 'Image Training' and it meant the fighter would close their eyes and pictures a foe.

And would then proceed to fight them as they would in a real battle.

What he referred to as the additional soul was the one that had merged with him back when he was still within Diablo Dessert.

And due to his superior strength and mental control as well as Ki energy, he had overpowered the otherworldly soul and engulfed it.

Absorbing its memories and from that, he would occasionally look through the memories as if locating a file within a computer.

Yamcha had deleted the unnecessary files such as the soul's life and such, he only preserved the 'Dragon Verse' knowledge and kept it in one folder in his mind.

For quick access like a cache of sorts.

Anyway back to Yamcha and within his Mindscape:

In this dark and blurry world of sorts, a lone figure with long and unruly hair stood as his eyes were closed.

Until suddenly the scene had changed he was back in Diablo Desert and in front of him was one of his best friend's Son Goku, in all his glory as he had a smile on his face.

Looking at Yamcha with great interest as he got into his stance and without wasting any time he leapt through the air like a dragon as he dived down like a Koi fish leaping through the gate at Yamcha with utmost fury ready to take him out.

"WHOOSH!!"

"BOOM!!"

The two friends fists collided as they both smirked at the scene.

Then suddenly Goku ducked down ready to punch Yamcha's solar plexus but, the wolf wouldn't allow for such a thing to occur as he sidestepped away.

Causing Goku's facial expressions to change.

'Interesting... It seems you've become stronger since the last time we met Other Me.'

Hearing this Yamcha's calm composed body suddenly stopped moving.

As the figure of Goku became taller and taller as his hair became more and more unruly until his face morphed into that of Yamcha's.

But this time the doppelgangers skin was pitch black with his Comfort Gi pure white, as he faced the vibrant coloured Yamcha we all know and love.

"Kuro weren't you destroyed when I drank the Ultra Divine Water, back with Korin?"

'Yes, your right Yamcha but your mind subconsciously wanted to see me and test my skills.

And so you created an identical copy of your darkness in order to battle it out to see truly which side is the better.

And remember this I don't hold back even against myself...

Now take this Hiyah!!'

After that my doppelganger clad in a white Gi attacked me out of nowhere as suddenly it attacks sent me flying through my Mindscape's desert wasteland.

But I didn't wait to sustain any more attacks as I went on the offensive as I leapt straight towards his stomach wanting to punch his stomach out.

But it seemed that he read my mind and blocked as he kneed me upwards and with a single 'Wolf Wind Wave' I was sent hurling backwards in pain.

As my bronze healthy skin had become scorched with burnt marks causing me to yelp until I realised once again this was a mental battle.

And with a thought, the damage was taken away from me restoring back to full health.

Now that I knew my doppelganger had learnt every move of mine I headed towards him with a changed movement.

As no longer was I using my Urutora Rogafufuken.

My mind knew every move I would make I switched my skill set for the Dai Saru No Ken.

The martial art that Goku had formed through controlling his tail and Saiyajin instincts.

The premise of the Dai Saru No Ken was about using sneak attacks and cheap shots to trick or goad your enemy into your advantage so that you could win/kill them within combat.

Since I knew I still had flaws using my own personal martial arts that meant my doppelganger would have the same problems so if I aimed at them with great trickery I could win this fight easily.

After Kuro had pushed me back he roared in for the finisher and I pretended to be hurt as he fell for it.

And just as he was about to end the fight I got up from the floor and with a mighty voice I bellowed out.

"ORIGIN DESTROYING KICK!!"

Instantly knocking Kuro down as he began to foam at his mouth profusely.

With his eyes turning scarlet due to the overwhelming amount of pain and I wasn't done just yet, As I roared out

"JAN!!"

And I palm struck him away and I rushed to the back of him like the volleyball technique as I roared out for the second time.

"KEN!!"

And I punched straight through his spine as I pushed him forward.

Finally, I got in front of him again as I bellowed out for the final time.

"JAN-KEN-PON"

And I pierced his eyeballs with my two fingers causing him to vanish as if a flame he burnt away as my Mindscape shattered like glass and I was back on the lookout.

There I saw Mr Popo happily smiling as he said.

"Well done you've completed your mind clearing examination.

But remember to use this all the time it's very very, useful Yamcha!!"
