Dragon Balls?
Dragon Balls are magical items scattered all over the earth. In Dragon Ball, a teenage girl named Bulma runs into Goku after he attacks her car because he thinks it's a monster. She is searching for the Dragon Balls because, once you collect all seven, the Ultimate Dragon, Shenron, comes out through a portal to grant you a wish.You find out in Dragon Ball Z, that the Dragon balls originated on a planet far away from our solar system named Namek. However, the dragon balls there are the size of watermelons, and the ones on earth are only about softball sized.
Later, after Dragon Ball Z, Dragon Ball GT arises, and the seven dragon balls are filled with negative energy from all the vein wishes used throughout the series. Instead of the typical green Shenron, a red Shenron comes out. At the end of the show, the dragon balls crack from all the negativity and seven evil demon Dragons arise to destroy the planet.
