As Gohan's training gets harder every day, Goku officially meets King Kai. King Kai reveals the Saiyans will arrive on Earth in less than 6 months. His first task is to catch the monkey, whose name is Bubbles, but it's not going to be easy. The gravity on this tiny planet is 10 times that of Earth, making it hard for Goku to even stand up. Just when Goku is losing hope, he gets inspired after learning that his people withstand different fighting conditions and that Planet Vegeta's gravity is the same as King Kai's planet. After three weeks, Goku conquers the gravity and catches Bubbles.
