As Goku at last reaches the midway point along the Serpentine Road, Gohan gets a case of homesickness during his wasteland training, and decides to return to his house. However, after getting out of the desert, he reaches a shoreline, and no matter how far he runs, he ends up back in the same place. Thinking this strange, Gohan climbs a mountain, and learns that he is actually on an island. Still, he does not give up, and attempts to escape on a raft.
