What Happened before : Ash, Misty, Brock and Pikachu stumbled upon the city of Nerima, Tokyo. While there, Ash captured Ryoga as P-Chan. Getting directions from Cologne, Shampoo's great grandmother, they went to the Tendo Dojo for a room. Misty accidentally defeated Shampoo and Akane found out that Ash captured her beloved P-Chan. And now, Part 2. Opening theme : Pokemon 152 - ? 2000 Theme (Opening shot, Ash is standing in the arena of the Elite Four, spotlights trained on him.

Pokemon Gotta catch 'em all Gotta catch 'em all POKEMON! A Pokemon, Ranma 1/2 Fan Fiction Developed for the new Millennium Pokemon 152 - ? 2000 written by Shaun Garin revised by WarChild based on an idea by Kahlil Noriega written with the authors permission Episode 2 : Birds, Cats and Pandas Misty looked at Ranma who was walking along the top of the fence. "Why are you doing that?" she asked curiously. "Its balance practice," he answered smoothly. Akane walked near the fence slowly and kicked it hard. Ranma tumbled into the water below. "Balance practice?" she snorted, "more like ego practice." A sputtering Ranma-chan jumped out of the water and started to wring her shirt out, the water pouring out of the silk. Brock politely turned away since the shirt didn't conceal anything. Ash looked and said without thinking, "Hey Misty, don't you wish you were like that?" WHACK! Ash lay on the ground, clutching his head in pain. Misty held a fist over his skull, a dangerously angry look on her face. "I DON'T NEED ADVICE FROM YOU ASH!!" she screamed in anger. Ranma jumped down and helped the Pokemon trainer up. "Don't worry, its genetic," he said. WHAMMM! Ranma found his skull buried under a mallet and a foot. Ash and Brock winced, "Um, remind me not to get them mad, alright?" the latter said. Akane then checked her watch. "Oh! We're going to be late! Come on!" <><><> Before they got to the school, the group ducked into Dr. Tofu's clinic for some hot water. Soon, they reached the school yard, where a daily nuisance was waiting for them, bokotu in hand. "Ah! T'was light which brings us together Tendo Akane, and love betwixt us with your beauty. Leave the cur Saotome and join me in happiness!" He then turned to the others. "And what's this? Another fair maiden! Surely you are fairest among the lilies of the water!" Misty blinked, a faint blush growing to her face. "Me?" she asked, "um...well..." Ash snickered, "Hey Misty! You're being hit on by a older guy! Whahahahahahahaha!" "Pika Pika!" Kuno then saw Ash, Brock and Pikachu. "Hark! Saotome has employed more demons for his willing crusade against my mighty blade! I shall smite you all and bring honor to this city!!! Have at theeeee!" With that, Kuno lunged forward with his sword striking at a furious pace. Pikachu flinched and electricity started to build. "Piiiiiiikkkkkaaaaa, Pika PI!!!!" Suddenly, bolts of yellow lightning lanced down from the heavens, and struck Kuno, frying him. Kuno dropped his blade and said just before passing out, "The vengeance of heaven is slow...and crispy fried with butter." He passed out on the school yard. Ranma and Akane pulled their friends towards the school as the first bell started to ring. <><><> Hinako Nimomiya, the English teacher, a child/woman, and all around Chi vampire stood at the front of the class, coin already in hand. Ranma was already sleeping in his desk, mumbling softly. "Mr. Saotome! You have been a baaaad boy! Now its time for some punishment!!!" The coin started to gleam. Akane eeped and dove under her desk, pulling the others under with her. "HAPPO 50-YEN SATSU!" The green tendrils of energy started to leech from Ranma slowly. Soon, Hinako grew into her more curvious adult form, the energy being drained from Ranma and a few others who weren't fast enough to escape the coins range. Brock started to zone out. Misty slapped him over the head, "Brock! She's a teacher!" "So?" Ash said, "you know how he gets around Nurse Joy or Officer Jenny." Soon, the attack stopped and Ranma finally awoke, very tired and looking like he was a paper sheet. Ash stood up and checked him. "Wow," he said, "It's a lot like Bulbasaur's leech seed attack." "Mr. Ketchum! No talking in class! Happo..." Misty threw a poke ball at her coin and it flew out of Hinako's grip. The adult teacher fumbled in her pocket to find a coin but found only twenty 5000 yen bills. Everyone else heaved a sigh of relief. Suddenly, the Poke ball opened and the annoying duck appeared. "Psyduck!!!" Misty started to bulge a vein. "PSYDUCK! GET BACK IN YOUR BALL!" "Psy-yi-yi!" The yellow duck walked back to the ball and tapped it, getting pulled into it. Misty groaned. "Honestly, I have no idea on how he always gets out of that ball." Sayuri, one of Akane's friends looked at the ball and said, "Hey, what was that?" "That's a Psyduck. A psychic Pokemon." Ash answered while double checking his Dexter. "He has a constant headache. That's why he was holding his head." "I never seen a animal like that before," Yuka said, "Is it a new breed of duck?" "Um, kinda." Ash answered. Just then, one of his balls started to fumble and it opened with a pop. Pikachu jumped out, gasping for air. Unlike the others, Pikachu hated to get into the Poke ball unless absolutely necessary. "Pika pika chu." he said. Yuka's eyes went wide, the "Oh how cute!" words coming out of her mouth. She looked at Ash and asked, "Can I hold him?" Ash nodded and Pikachu jumped into the girls arms. "Pikachu." Yuka cuddled the cute Pokemon and Pikachu snuggled into her hug. Soon, all the girls were crowding around Yuka and Pikachu, cooing and asking Ash about Pikachu. Ranma by now, had regained his energy and Hinako had reverted back to a little girl. "Class!!" she shouted, startling most of them. Pikachu was the most startled as he sent a bolt of electricity up into the roof, and shocking a Sophomore above him. Yuka nearly dropped him, startled. "What was that?!" she said, scared. "Pikachu is a electric mouse," Brock answered, "He's Ash's first Pokemon." "Electric? You mean there's more types of things like this?" Hinako asked, reverting to a child-like attitude. Ash nodded and took out a Poke ball. "Charizard, I choose you!!" The giant dragon/lizard appeared, his tail burning brightly. It was lying down, like it was lazy. The other students gasped at the fact that Ash has such a large creature for a pet. Hinako gasped and grabbed a bucket of water, chucking it at Charizard's tail. The animal yelped and jumped up into the air. Ash yelled, "What are you doing?!" Hinako looked at him. "His tail is on fire! I was just trying to put it out!" "But if you put out the flame on Charizard's tail, he'll die!" Misty protested. Charizard blew a ball of flames that singed the top of Miss Hinako's hair to punctuate that statement. Hinako blinked, "I didn't know. Sorry." Ash sighed in relief as she dropped the pail. He held out the ball and said, "Charizard, return!" With a beam of red light, the animal was pulled into the ball. <><><> Nabiki sat at her table in the cafeteria when the customary idiot came up and dropped several thousand yen bills in her lap. Kuno had arrived. "Tendo Nabiki, I wish to know the information about the wondrous red head which has crossed mine path at yonder school morning." Nabiki nearly sighed in exasperation. First Akane, then Ranma and now Misty. If this deluded idiot didn't give up sooner or later, then he was going to die at either hands of any of them. "Kuno-chan, I'll sell you all I know about Misty. But only for a price." Nabiki hoped she knew what she was doing. After getting to know the young Pokemon Gym Leader, she knew that the girl had no qualms about beating someone senseless. She was taking a awfully big risk. "Only if you don't chase her after I give you the info." Kuno started to think, destroying the remaining brain cells he had in his skull, "Betwixt us both, I the great Kuno Tatewaki, hath much love for Akane and the pig tailed girl! Surely a girl like the fair Misty shall join us when I take Akane and the pig tailed girl for brides!" With that, he lapsed into his state of total stupidity as he laughed manically. It looked like he was insane. And justly so. Nabiki smirked as she counted the money. She knew that Kuno couldn't keep away from Misty, Akane or Ranma-chan in any way. Until she left, a hefty profit to support herself and the Dojo could come from this. But why did she feel like a can of worms was just opened? <><><> "Here." Misty sat up from her futon and took the letter. Ash and Brock stared at the writing. "Who's it from?" Ash asked. Misty scrolled down the script and blinked. "Some guy named Kuno wants me to be at the Furinkian left field at 5:23 tonight. Sounds like a challenge." Brock's eyebrows narrowed slightly. "Isn't Kuno the guy that Pikachu shocked this morning?" Ash nodded. "He seemed a bit put off. And that speech of his is really old." "No kidding," Misty said while reading her letter, "I had to translate most of this writing to make out the gist of it." "Do you think its a battle?" Brock asked. Misty crumpled it in her hands. "We'll find out. Tonight." <><><> An hour later, Misty came back, a shell shocked look on her face. The Dojo residents came out to greet her. Ranma peered at her shocked face. "What's with the rose petals?" "Better yet, did you win?" Ash asked. Misty only shook her head. "There was no battle. He gave me this." From behind her back she withdrew a bursting bouquet of ruby colored roses. Everyone stared. Akane and Ranma did a takahashi fall. "I don't believe it," Akane muttered, "Is he a total idiot?" At Ash and Brock's confused looks she elaborated, "Kuno has the most limited mind in the world, the thickest skull, and chases after any girl that happens to catch his eye. I think Misty's been inducted into the reluctant suitor club." <><><> Ash toyed with a Poke ball while eating breakfast the next day. Suddenly, his fingers slipped and it bounced out of his hands, rolling to a stop in front of Genma-p. "Oh, sorry bout that," he said, picking up the Poke ball from in front of the eating panda. The panda growfed and returned to eating. A still female Ranma-chan came down the steps, angry. "Great! The water heater is broken! And its your fault I'm like this OYAJI!!!" Ranma snatched the ball from Ash and tossed it at his fathers head. It expanded and bounced off the pandas head, drawing the panda into the ball. Everyone grew a huge sweat drop. "Uh, was that supposed to happen?" Ranma-chan asked quietly. "Not that I know of," Brock said, picking up the Poke ball and observing it. "Well Ranma, looks like you father counts as a Pokemon. Congratulations, you got your first Pokemon." Ranma grinned and stuck the ball in her cloth belt. Misty looked at him curiously. "Um...aren't you going to let your father out?" "Why should I?" she said with a wide evil grin. "He should suffer for a while." Ash grinned. He never liked that sloth for a father of Ranma's. <><><> "You want to take him, or should I?" "Hmmm, I'll do it. STARYU! I CHOOSE YOU!!!" A second later, Low Earth Orbit Martial Artist in the shape of Kuno Tatewaki. Akane grunted. "He was asking for that one." Suddenly... "MISTY! I KILL!!" "Crud!!" Misty started running around the school, a bonbouri wielding Amazon behind her. Misty picked up several objects and started to fling them at Shampoo who deftly blocked them. But this group of bric-a-brac included a pail of water. She screeched and a adorable little kitty appeared in front of her, hissing and screeching. Ash came around the corner and immediately pulled out his Dexter. "Wonder what that one is?" Misty grinned and pulled out a Poke ball. "Alright, then I'm gonna catch this one! Starmie, I choose..." A burst of white light blasted from her pack. "PSYDUCK!!!" "Arugh!!! Not you!!" She clobbered Psyduck. It started to run around, its headache getting worse. The Siamese looked at the duck curiously. Suddenly, Psyduck's eyes started to glow. "Alright! Psyduck, Disable and Confusion!!" Psyduck's grasped the cat and started slamming it up and down on the ground. Soon, the cat was out of commission. "Poke ball, GO!!!" The ball lanced out and grasped the Pokemon in its grasp. Soon, the red light disappeared with a ping and Misty had her sixth Pokemon. She picked it up with a grin. "Alright!! I got a new Pokemon!" In the bushes, a duck growled as only a duck can. <><><> Ash, Misty and Brock ran around the track, warming up for gym. "You'd think...that...we'd get better at running after all the running...we do." Brock puffed out. Misty nodded, too winded to talk. Suddenly, from the edge of the track, a flurry of knives and other sharp objects imbedded themselves in the track right in front of their feet. Ash stumbled over his feet and rolled up right to the duck who whacked him with a mini wok. As Ash reeled with the attack, Brock pulled out Ash's Dexter from his pocket. "Let's see." Brock shrugged. "If Misty got a new Pokemon, I should get one." Ash just sighed. Who knew that Porcine was already Akane's pet? "GEODUDE, GO!!!" "Geo. Dude." "Farfight'ed!" "Geodude, rockslide!!" Geodude grabbed several boulders from the ground and hurled them towards the duck who blocked it with a wok. It launched itself into the air and flung down a hailstorm of knives. Geodude took the punishment. "Geodude, tackle it!" "GEO!" The rock Pokemon launched itself up into the air, slamming the duck out of the air. It landed with a thunk. Brock pulled out a Poke ball and yelled, "Go Poke ball!!" Pokemon caught : One Siamese, One Farfight'ed. <><><> "Hey, did you guys find more Pokemon?" Ranma asked curiously. Brock nodded. "Yeah, we got several. Misty got a extinct Siamese, and I got a Farfight'ed." Just then, a voice came from the door. "Gomen Kudasai?" "Maa, it's Auntie Nadoka." Ranma was tackled into the pond, drenching everyone in front of the veranda. Nadoka Saotome came into the room and said, "Ranko-chan! Must you get wet every time I visit?" Ranma-chan laughed nervously. "Well...I don't really plan on it." Misty, Brock, Ash and Pikachu exchanged puzzled looks at each other. What was going on?

Closing Credits and Theme : The Time Has Come I close my eyes And I can see The day we met (A scene of Ash picking up a Pokeball and Pikachu escaping from its inside. He picks up Pikachu and he zaps him.) Just one moment and I knew You're my best friend 'Do anything For you (A scene of Ash meeting Misty, Brock throwing a pokeball, and Ash looking upwards, the camera panning backwards, into the sky.) We've gone so far And done so much And I feel Like we've always been together (Scenes of Ash running along a beach, Misty, Brock and Pikachu trailing along in the setting sunlight. A still photo of Ranma sitting atop a cliff, that fades from brown and white tones to a full color picture, his pigtail swinging in the wind. A constellation draws itself out on the sky, Sagittarius the Archer. A shooting star arcs across the sky.) Right by my side Through thick and thin You're the part of my life I'll always remember (A shot of Pikachu waving to the sky, his eyes glistening with tears, Pidgeotto carrying Ryoga away. A shot of Ash's shadowed face, a stream of tears dripping from his eyes. Ranma gathering Akane in his arms, Ukyou wrapping a consolidating arm about Brock's shoulder. Ash sitting down in the grass, Misty leaning on his shoulder, his jacket wrapped about her shoulders.) The time has come, It's for the best I know it Who could have guessed that you and I... (Ash's face, haloed in a corona of light, Misty holding onto his fingertips. He smiles at her, as the light brightens to a blinding view and she collapses on the ground, sobbing.) Somehow, someday, We'd have to say goodbye Somehow today... ...we have to say goodbye. (Fade out.) (A Magic Tech Production. A Shaun Garin Story.)
