At that important note of the professor, Ranma knew from Ash’s memories that they were also harder to use. From his/Ash’s personal experiences with the one Celestial the Professor had here, he could guess the PokéGirls of heavenly body tended to be rather timid, easily submissive, good things for one trying for control... They tended to NOT be the very best of fighters. Probably why they were such a rarity in the wild, getting killed off left and right by tougher, meaner Infernal PokéGirls.
A hand rose up amongst the group listening. “Do you have any Celestial PokéGirls?” Asked a voice from the back.
Shaking his head, the Professor simply told the idiot, “Not for handing out, I’m afraid. The one Angel here was handed to me by the government for study purposes. I do however have five fine specimens PokéGirls available for you today.
“What are they?” Asked another of the two starting Tamers.
Professor Oak’s eye twitched. “We’ll get to that in a moment; right now we need to go over the basics of becoming a PokéGirl Tamer.”
“But we’ve been studying that for over a year now!” Ash/Ranma’s apparent rival spoke up, the same one who’d been giving him a hassle since he first got to the Professor’s Lab. “We KNOW the basics...” He smirked condescendingly and pointedly looked towards Ranma. “Though, if you’re telling us again for HIS sake, I guess I can sit through it one more time.”
The Ash of old would’ve been embarrassed and looked away from the peer-pressure brought on by one of the supposedly ‘better’ PokéGirls Tamer trainees. However, with Ranma behind the wheel, Ash met his stare and responded, “I think he’s trying to make sure everyone knows, considering how much room your ego takes up inside your head that there’s no room for brains!”
Yeah, it felt a little hypocritical to Ranma, but hell, this was a new history with a new body. Ash had always been meek and timid, little self-confidence and body build. The boy had originally planned to start off a new life by becoming a PokéGirl Tamer, and Ranma was certain to make it ‘new’ for Ash.
The other would-be-Tamer stood up, from his seat, grabbing Ash/Ranma by the scruff of his shirt, and holding him up to his feet, his right fist poised back as if to strike. “What did you say, runt!?”
“GARY!” Professor Oaks shouted, the shock he felt from seeing Ash actually show some backbone wearing off as soon as his grandson was about to beat the poor boy to a pulp. “Let go of Ash and sit down this instant!”
Gary Oaks, grandson of Professor Oaks and son of the great racer Auron Oaks, winced and looked over at his grandfather. “But, grampa, the twerp...”
“SIT!” Oaks insisted. “NOW!”
Snorting in annoyance, Gary let go of Ash/Ranma’s shirt and sat down, his arms crossed over his chest and grumbling irritably.
Ash/Ranma, couldn’t help but look over at the annoying bastard that was Gary Oaks. Ever since they were kids, that boy had been bullying Ash. Obviously, Gary was the sort of person who had ‘problems’.
“Eyes forward Ash,” Oaks spoke up, getting the attention of the boy whom he just saved from being pulverized into a nice bloody pulpy mush that would make excellent PokéGirl Feed. “Now, as for getting started, I’ve already stated how raising a PokéGirl can be a difficult procedure, but take heart. You will all be given a basic pack of supplies.”
Turning to the table behind him which was covered with tools and items, the Professor held up a small red book-like device. “You will each be given a PokéDex, which acts as your License, a GPS, and a Lexicon of recent info containing all currently known PokéGirls. You will want to consult this often.”
Putting down the PokéDex, the PokéGirl Researcher help up one of the many red and white spherical containment units piled high. “You will each receive three complimentary PokéBalls, with which to catch one of those fearsome beasts. These special devices are a culmination of Science and Sorcery, breaking PokéGirls down into a fine blood mist form like Vampiras can do at will, and suck them inside. This makes traveling with more than one PokéGirl manageable, and obviously MUCH safer.”
When the PokéBall was placed back on the table, Professor Oaks held up a small red vial. “You will also each receive five potions, highly condensed blood enhanced by magic, allowing you to heal your PokéGirl, should she sustain injuries.
“And most importantly” The Professor said as he placed the vial down gently onto a beaker rack and then picked up a very, VERY sharp dagger. “Each of you will receive a Tamer’s Dagger; a special tool for Blood-Letting. After all, while humanity has started to climb back from the brink of near-destruction, the cities are pretty far apart. If you can’t get to a PokéCenter to use a transfusion chamber, you’re going to have to do things the not-so-easy way.”
“And a special note on Tamer’s Daggers,” He turned the blade so the PokéGirl Tamers could get a good view at the flat of it, seeing a very shiny outline. “Is that they are inlaid with silver for self protection in case your PokéGirl is too unruly, or you’re overwhelmed by rather nasty bunch PokéGirls, such as Beegirls wanting to feast on your organs and use your body as a cocoon, or Zombabes wanting to eat your brains.”
Again, another hand was raised. “Are these blades blessed by a priest at all?”
“Of course not!” Oaks answered. “That would cost extra money that the League didn’t want to spend.”
There was a groan amongst the group, until Oaks spoke up, “But on the plus side, because your Tamer Daggers aren’t blessed, the extra money was spent on camping gear. Each of you shall receive a tent, a sleeping bag, a frying pan, a box matches, a lantern, and what no Tamer can be without, garlic cloves and wolfsbane!”
With a cheer of the Tamers gathered, Oaks grinned to himself. He managed to keep an unruly mob from happening, so it was best to continue. “Now, then we shall-”
“Excuse me, Professor?” A hand went up. “I have a question.”
Seeing who it was and rolling his eyes, the PokéGirl Researcher let out a sigh. “What is it?” Though, knowing THIS would-be-Tamer, it was going to involve sex somehow.
“Can we have sex with out PokéGirls?”
Oaks let out a groan of aggravation. He knew it. “For the last time, Ataru, while it is physically possible, that is NOT the point! They are for helping us maintain a peace throughout a chaotic world, as well as acting as partners and allowing us to do functions that would’ve been lost to society thanks to destroyed tools and power sources. The PokéGirl have allowed us an alternative to try and grasp at what we had been before everything went to hell. No pun intended.”
“Besides,” the Professor continued. “Having sexual intercourse with a PokéGirl can lead to actual reproduction!” Oaks warned seriously. “And that means a half-breed, and they’re even more dangerous than regular PokéGirls, like that monstrous Tamer Donovan Baine.”
Silence reigned amongst the gathered group before Ataru broke the silence once more. “What about Succubae? Aren’t you SUPPOSED to have sex with them?”
“...” The Professor’s eye twitched irritably as he stared at Ataru. “Whoever smacks him gets to pick first.”
Seeing an opening, Ash/Ranma slammed his fist into the back of Moroboshi’s head, sending the pervert flying face-first to the ground.
Nodding his head approvingly, Professor Oaks said, “Excellent job, Ash. The trajectory he went slamming at will possibly keep him out of it for a couple hours.”
“I could’a done better,” Gary snorted, obviously unimpressed by the actions of the runt.
“While I’m sure you could have,” Oaks said slowly, allowing his grandson a little satisfaction before he simply stated, “But Ash still smacked that idiot first, and very well might I add. So he gets to choose first.”
Ash/Ranma smiled. Getting to choose first meant every option would be available to him. “Does that mean, I can choose now?”
“Oh heavens no!” Professor Oaks said seriously. “There’s still more to go over, but I will take the time to tell you what IS available.”
“First we have the Nekomatta or ‘Catgirl’ tend to be playful, affectionate, mischievous, proud, and fastidious. Since Catgirls are one of the easiest kinds of PokéGirl to own and use, they are often found in public workplaces and kept in homes as pets. But one must be careful to keep their curiosity in check, lest they end up coming to an abrupt end.”
“I also have a Wolven, a Werewolf or ‘Lupina’ up for grabs. A shape-shifting PokéGirl that when in passive mode could pass off for a human woman, and when in attack mode, is a perfect combination of human and wolf; all the strength, speed, and grace of her animal half. While moody and tending to be loners, one can earn their loyalty through hard work and trust.
“And we have two species of Vampira. The first is a Spectra, a Ghost-like Vampire that often still bear the wounds of what killed them and sometimes gain odd features, like the one available had sprouted two extra wickedly-clawed arms. And the other is something Ataru really wanted...” He looked over at the down perverted Tamer. “A Succubus. Succubae are amongst one of the most attractive and powerful PokéGirls a Tamer can find. Their bodies are shaped almost to perfection, and they highlight this with provocative dress, actions, and speech. Unfortunately, their condescending attitudes towards humans make them difficult to maintain control over.”
“And finally, we have one of the Insectica, this being a Beegirl-”
“BUZZBREAST!” Shouted a semi-comatose Ataru from the floor.
Kicking the downed Tamer-in-training a swift kick to the ribs, Stroaks continued, “As I was saying, for the last one available today, we have a Beegirl. Though she looks mammalian, her internal structure is more insectile. This also fits her mental structure as she tends to think of her Tamer as her Queen and the Tamer’s Harem of PokéGirls as a hive. On a note, they are the most common PokéGirl in the wilds are considered a Priority 4 Hazard, which during Mating Season is raised to Priority 3.”
“And now that I’ve told you about the PokéGirls...” Professor Oaks said seriously. “We best continue the rest of your final lecture, shall we?”
