Take one argumentitive boy and several difficult girls. Drug them to the point where Second Impact could be going off and they'd sleep through it. Steal the boy, leave the girls, go to China. Tell lies, convince the boy that he'd been abandoned, then go through two years of very intense martial arts training before taking the finished product to Tendo, forced marriage, comfortable retirement.
There were several problems with this approach.
One, several of these girls were near-human but it was no cigar. None of them was absolutely human. This meant that the chloral hydrate "knock out drops" put by Genma into their rice had mixed effects. On some, like Maria, it was actually more effective. The fourteen year old Icemaiden was quickly out of action and unlikely to awaken for the better part of a day.
Kohran the Kitten and Sakura the Slicer were both close enough to human for the drug to have normal effects for the most part. Iris slept a lot anyway, but her intuition warned her away from the food enough for her to avoid its effects.
Kanna was completely unaffected. It was Sumire who had the worst reaction though, and that was anaphylactic shock. A severe enough allergic reaction that it would have killed her had Iris not managed to telekinetically relax the bronchial tubes and allow the fox-morph to breathe.
So the first part of Genma's plan worked, it just wasn't how he would have preferred it to go - with the various girls now having reason to believe that Ranma's father had finally gotten past the complaining stage and had attempted to murder them.
The second part was not counted on by Genma due to simple oversight on his part.
Once Iris recovered from her efforts, it was a simple matter to begin the tracking of Ranma Saotome. Once Sumire recovered enough, her sense of smell was added to the task.
It was an adventure, and the Cherry Warrior Troupe was up to such - another factor that Genma had failed to consider.
The final factor that Genma had overlooked was that Ranma had made a number of friends, was used to the girls' presence, and actually knew them fairly well at this point. He was not, therefore, buying that they had decided to abandon him for his own good.
It was during this that the Cherry Warriors were reunited with Ranma, at the point that a fourteen year old Ranma was:
