Ranma's New Life/Summoning Horse: Early Bird [Episode 148179]

by Kender

There were summoners who were totally dedicated to their chosen path, and who worked to make sure that they were the best that they could be. They were individuals who would plan out their strategies, train hard, and come up with their own special techniques for whatever field they would go into. Some would read up on the subject with any tome they could find, and others might plan everything out, but they left little to chance. Each of them had their own regimen, schedule, and thought out style that they hoped would make them be the best that they could be.

Ash was not one of those people.

Instead, he was more of the 'fly by the seat of your pants' type. He wasn't one for theoretical materials, as he had little patience for sitting around.

"Oh.... So we have to wait for them?"

"Not particularly. You see, it is 'first come, first served'."

"Great! Can I get a really strong one? I'd like to get a special one that's rare, but... What?" the soon to be summoner asked.

"You know that you can't get a pokegirl that's too powerful. You need to start off with a basic one, and strengthen her up. The more powerful ones need to be handled by someone with the proper experience, and the fact is that the truly special ones can be very hard to handle."

"Yeah...."
