They started with a bank robbery in Roppongi!
Genma complained about this deviation in his plans.
They followed it up with the investigation of the Yowling Yurei in Yokohama, revealing a smuggling operation!
Genma griped about silly kids and their games.
Ranma and his pokegirls went after the Sinister Specter in Chiba, discovering that it was actually a money laundering operation that a Triad was using as a means of encroaching on the Yakuza!
Genma drank heavily and complained about the lack of respect in the younger generation.
Ranma's gang investigated a report about the Headless Headmaster of Von Daniken Elementary School, only to stumble upon a white-slaver operation of the North Koreans!
Genma grumped about the complete lack of discipline and how Ranma's attention seemed to be slipping from the martial arts. Oh, the shame!
Ranma and the pokegirls went after the rumors of a Ghost Train, only to uncover an ancient village on government land that had been discovered by artifact-poachers who were selling the historical relics on the black market!
Genma cried into his sake, telling anyone who would listen about his disappointment in his son.
By this time the news had been digging up stories and chasing after the pokegirls for interviews.
Minako, the Kitten, turned out to be among the most talkative.
Channel 5 Interview, October 3, 1985:
"Okay, Minako-chan, so you're a Kitten? What does that mean, other than you have cat ears and a tail?"
"Claws," said Minako, holding up her slightly long nails. "Fangs." She smiled, revealing white and sharp teeth. "Also I'm very flexible and I have good reflexes and stuff."
"So how did this happen? That you have these changes?"
Minako scratched her head. "How did I get to be a Kitten? I was born like this."
"So your parents were exposed to radiation? That's how you gained superpowers?"
"Nyaow," said Minako, still puzzled. "I'm a pokegirl of the Kitten type."
"What does that mean exactly?" asked the puzzled announcer. "Just talk into the camera."
"Nyaa," said the little catgirl, nodding. "They covered this in school. Pokegirls were guhnetikkly ungeeered to be soldiers in a big war, but something was designed wrong. Anyway some people found a way to fix it a few years back and now pokegirls are pets and works with peoples and we gets to cuddle!"
"You were 'genetically engineered'?" asked the reporter.
"Not me, my ancestor from many years ago," said the little girl. "Then Ranma's dad tried to summon a demon but he got us instead!"
"Really? How nice," said the reporter, who was reminded that this WAS a little girl of perhaps nine years age.
"Unnnn," said Minako.
"Are there any other 'pokegirls' out there?" asked the reporter.
"In this world no," said Minako. "Back home there's LOTS. There will be some eventually though!"
"Oh, why's that?" asked the reporter.
"Cause we're gonna marry Ranma," said Minako, matter-of-factly. "Then there'll be lots and lots of pokegirls."
"Ah?" The reporter caught on. "You mean children?"
"Yup, I'm gonna have at least six or seven," said Minako. "Cat types have lots of kitties."
The reporter was about to dismiss this as just more kid talk, but then focussed in on the gently waving tail behind the girl. Maybe that wasn't so far fetched.
