Flying towards the large mole-like creature, Goku stopped a few feet short and landed on the ground, putting his hands on his hips and letting out an impressed chuckle.
"When you get all worked up, you're a pretty good fighter! It's really too bad it takes so much to get you in the mood!"
"When I'm angry, I'm ten-times the fighter you just fought!" The Shadow Dragon rolled his eyes.
Having just caught up, and with a new hat no less, Pan perked up, asking the obvious question.
"So, you never told us which wish it was that brought you into existence..."
The Shadow Dragon narrowed his eyes, before beginning his narration.
"Do you remember the evil wizard Babidi? He took control of Vegeta at the World Martial Arts Tournament... I was born of the wish that restored the innocent lives that Vegeta stole that day!"
Pan rolled her eyes. "That sounds kind of dramatic, the last dragon was born from a wish for underwear..."
"You see, that's exactly the kind of ignorance I've come to expect from you people..."
With their preamble finished, Naturon Shenron let out a roar before slamming one of his paws onto the ground, and just as so, a blast of energy ripped from the ground, throwing Goku and Pan backwards, with the latter losing their hat, as well.
"See that? That's what I like to call the 'Aftershock Technique'! No one can handle a concentrated blast of energy from below! Everyone gets blown away!"
Taking a minute to gather himself, Goku looked down at the dragon, Pan taking flight nearby him.
"Well... I have to admit it... As far as Dragons go, you're the most interesting, so far..."
Naturon Shenron chuckled as a response. "Why, thank you... And as far as little boys that turn into grown men go, you're interesting too!"
Getting an idea, Pan would speak up next, doing her best to hide her smile. "That technique you just used couldn't work if your opponent is in the air, could it?"
Naturon Shenron's chuckling stopped.
"Oh my! Guess I hit the bullseye, again!" Pan whooped, giggling slightly.
"Alright, fine! You got me there. Ho ho ho!" Naturon Shenron replied in a mocking tone, before beginning to stomp and puff air from his nostrils. "But don't think flying people like yourselves are out from behind enemy lines!"
With yet another roar, Naturon Shenron slammed both fists into the ground, forcing another wave of ki to erupt from the ground like a deadly geyser. Despite firing the technique multiple times, neither Goku nor Pan seemed to have any trouble dodging, even laughing and having a bit of fun as they did so.
"This attack isn't that bad!" Goku commented with a smile.
"It's kind of like playin' dodgeball at school!"
Naturon Shenron, meanwhile, only watched with befuddlement.
"What's wrong with you people? Why do you keep making fun of me? I'll show you what kind of dragon you're dealing with!"
As if to meet with his challenge, Goku and Pan both landed atop the Dragon's head.
"We're up here!" Goku taunted.
"Come on, Naturon! Give us your best shot!" Pan goaded, as well.
"Get off my head!" Naturon Shenron groaned in protest. "I'm trying to concentrate-"
The mole-like dragon's complaints would be cut short, as a massive explosion erupted below him; with the Dragon right in the crossfires and the blast attacking him point blank.
