"Things are not looking good. Lord Pilaf has all seven Dragon Balls, our heroes are locked in a dungeon, and Goku is hungry again! Oh well, at least it's a nice night for the world to end. The stars are out, the moon is full--but wait! Goku has one last trick up his sleeve!"--Page 4 of cover

Red is improving rapidly as a Pokemon trainer-- and so is his competition. But now Red must team up with his biggest rival Blue and thief Green to defeat a common enemy!

The Great Kyoto Fire behind them (and casualities relatively slight), Kenshin and the others consider their next move. The Oniwabanshu may indeed be allies this time, but their leader, Shinomaori Aoshi, is not. Is Kenshin truly, as it is claimed, the only one who can bring peace to the former Okashira or "head"of the Kyoto-based spy group? Elsewhere, madman Shishio Makoto has made his own plans for Kenshin and the others, plans involving a "man-to-man"...

Haunted as he is by his past sins, committed when he was a government-sactioned killer, Kenshin is finding it hard to escape the shadow of his past and fight for the here and now.

Although he is now one of the good guys, Kenshin is still haunted by the events in Kyoto, where, as Hitokiri Battôsai, he once made the streets flow with blood. He wonders, if a scar remains as long as strong feelings are attached to a wound, where did the cross-shaped scar on his face come from?

Goku and master R-er-Jackie Chun are still at it! Seems there's nothing the old guy can dish out that Goku can't take. Well, almost nothing ... But wait! What's that up in the sky? Could it be a full moon?

When only Namu, Goku, and Jackie Chun are left after a variety of tough and sometimes strange matches, it seems to be possible that any of the three could make it to the final round.

Pokémon trainer, Crystal, wants to catch all kinds of Pokémon to assist Professor Oak in his research.
