"So, Ranma, what are we going to do?" Ryouga asked, taking a moment to stop bragging. Ranma scratched his chin in thought.
"Yeah... I was thinkin' about makin' a quick stop at my place, grab some clothes for some Kits who can't keep them from gettin' shredded," here, he mock glared at the PokéKit who was looking down at him with a catty grin, "drop by your place for a while, then head towards Viridick."
Ryouga grinned. "You sure we can't stay overnight? I mean, what with your mom being a crack-whore and all... what's with the look?" he asked in confusion, for Ranma had stopped in his tracks and was giving Ryouga a death glare.
"My mom is not a crack-whore!" Ranma growled. Ryouga blinked several times.
"Um... yeah she is... I mean, she wasn't complaining when I was shoving-"
"That's not the point!" Ranma shouted, blushing slightly. "Just stop callin' her that!"
"But why? It's true, you know," Ryouga reasoned.
"Well, I, ah, well don't!" Ryouga had an unreadable look on his face, then he nodded. "Oh, so that's it." Two sets of eyes watched him in confusion as he then leveled a glare at Ranma. "You just want her for yourself!"
"... What?"
Ryouga nodded. "My old friend, refusing to let me have my way with a fine specimen? How tragic!" Ryouga then pointed at Ranma. "Ranma! You will pay for this insult!"
Though Ranma knew that Ryouga was slightly joking, he was still annoyed at his perverted friend. "Ah, bug off and take back what you said!" On top of his head, Ranko hissed in agreement, really hoping that there would be a Pokégirl battle.
Her intuition was correct. "I won't take it back!" The fanged tamer reached to his belt and grabbed a Pokéball. "Cammy! I screw you!" he shouted as he threw the ball.
"Ranko! I scr- er, choose ya!" Ranma replied, the Tigress jumping off his head and posed in a ready stance.
Ryouga's ball snapped open and released the Pokégirl. What emerged was a short caucasian teenager with a pair of blond, waist-length pigtails, blue eyes, a green sleeveless and legless body suit, a red beret, red gauntlets, green body paint on her legs, and a scar on her left cheek.
Ranma blinked. 'Damn... those legs go a mile...' "An Amazonlee?" he queried as Ranko and Cammy stared at each other, Cammy with a look of slight surprise on her face.
"Nope!" Ryouga replied with a smug look on his face. "She's an 'AssassinCammy'."
Ranma nodded as he remembered about the AssassinCammy, a new Pokégirl that was genetically engineered like OfficerJennys and NurseJoys. Unlike those girls, however, the AssassinCammys were, obviously, made to be shadowy warriors. Ranma wondered if this girl was a cold-hearted fighter like the rumors told, and if so, if he should worry for Ranko.
The leggy Pokégirl continued to stare evenly at the shorter Tigress, then turned to Ryouga. "Er, Master? Do I have to fight her?"
Ryouga blinked while Ranma and Ranko stumbled at the odd question. "Uh... yeah. This is a duel..."
Cammy looked back at the Kit, then faced her master again, this time with a slight blush. "But... she's so cute!" She pouted, causing Ryouga and Ranma to fall over in shock. 'Perhaps I'm a bit wrong...' the pigtailed tamer thought.
Of course, at this point the AssassinCammy heard the Tigress shout "Boot to da Head!" and was punted in the back of the head, the force of the blow knocking her beret off her head. A few moments passed, before Cammy knelt down and picked up the beret. She dusted it off, then placed it back on her head as she turned to the cutely growling PokéKit with a hard glint in her eye.
"Of course, I could just cuddle her after I beat her down," she remarked.
Ranko blinked as she realized that Cammy had just charged her, and ducked a round kick. The Tigress then was forced onto the defence as Cammy's attacks came quickly and from all directions. She mewled in surprise as she attempted a sweep kick, only to receive a knife hand to the jaw.
Ranma's concern, nearly dissapated by Cammy's odd remark, returned. 'Damn! She's way too strong for Ranko!' he thought as he contradictorily shouted to Ranko, "You can do it! Get in there with a Scratch!"
Ranko nodded internally, and slipped past an elbow strike from the small breasted fighter. The red-furred Kit then jolted past the more experienced fighter, slashing her claws at her abdomen. At the last moment, just as the claws caught into the fabric of the body suit, the AssassinCammy twisted away, escaping with a trio of barely noticeable scratches.
The poor Tigress barely had time to comprehend the results of the attacks before she got nailed in the jaw by an uppercut from Cammy. Stars flashed in her vision, and Ranko dimly heard the perpetually lost tamer shout, "Cammy! Use your Cannon Drill attack!" Through her daze, Ranko saw the blonde hop back a few yards, then launch forward feet first, spinning in a barrel roll. When her feet contacted with Ranko's chest, it rocketed the Kit backwards, with the ground only managing to force her body to skip painfully.
Ranma's eyes were wide as he watched his Alpha being taken down with two attacks. "Ranko!" he shouted as he sprinted to where she finally managed to halt her forced flight. He quickly checked for injuries, and since he found no broken bones, he picked her up in his arms and cradled her to his chest. Faintly, the beaten Kit mewled pathetically.
Ranma glanced over at Ryouga. "... Guess ya won," he conceded. The pigtailed tamer blinked as the victorious AssassinCammy walked to his side. "Yeah?" he asked the girl responsible for beating the tar out of his Alpha.
Cammy blushed slightly. "Sorry about beating her up... so can I hold her now?" Ranma blinked at the odd request, but reluctantly placed the somewhat dazed PokéKit in the blond girl's arms, who instantly began coddling her. Ranma chuckled as the winning Tamer walked up to him.
"Well, that was a good match, Ranma," Ryouga said, clapping Ranma on the shoulder, which made Ranma's knees buckle a bit.
"I'll say!" Cammy agreed, the Tigress in her arms purring as Cammy somehow managed to scratch her behind her ears. "For a moment there I thought I was fighting a level fifteen Pokékit instead of a starter!"
Ranma was silent for a few moments, then remarked, "She is level twelve..." Ryouga's and Cammy's eyes widened in surprise.
A few moments passed, until Ryouga found something else to say. "... So will you stop hogging your mom to yourself?"
Ranma glared at him, then sighed. "Just lay off on the 'crack-whore' shit, all right?"
