Ranma's New Life: Peekabu! [Episode 149670]

A crimson cloud billowed from the containment device and coalesced into a girlish figure.   Her skirt billowed as she spun around and made a victory pose; obviously preening that she'd been chosen.

She was golden of fur, blonde of hair, and short of stature.   Somehow she seemed familiar to Ash, beyond the mere fact that she was a common breed of electrical controlling pokéwoman dressed in the typical sera fuku of a trainee pokéwoman.

She blinked then her triangular ears downturned as she started circling Ash, and poked at him critically as she did so.   Sniffing derisively she finally pronounced, “aiya!   New partner is being little shrimp, no?”

“No!   I mean yes!   I mean… hey!   You’re not much bigger yourself, you know!”

By way of answer she grasped her white blouse collar and stretched it down as she leaned forward with a glad cry of, “Peekabu!   Is plenty enough womans for you, yes?”

“NO!   I mean yeaaks!   Cover yourself up.”

“Miss Shan!” Professor Oak chided.   “This isn’t Amazonis Planita.   Here in Tharsis you have to show a little feminine modesty.”

“What wrong with Shan’s body that everyone wants cover it up all times!” she pouted while tucking her proud attributes back in their skin tight bondage.

“You know perfectly well why you need to show a modicum of modesty when interacting with humans,” the Professor scolded, “And please stop talking like a dumb bimbo.”

“Oh, alright, Professor,” she pouted, apparently dropping a pretence.   “Anyway, I still say this boy is a shrimp.   Are you sure he’s fully grown?   He is kind of cute, but maybe we should throw him back and catch another, hey?”   The Peekabu giggled and turned back and regarded Ash, “What?   You weren’t really expecting me to be a dumb blonde joke just because I’m fresh from an all Pokéwoman enclave, were you?”

“Uh, noo…” Ash muttered embarrassedly.   His mind was racing.   Was she really the girl she had reminded him of while playing dumb?   If so, did she remember anything of her past life?

“Boys really are such fun to tease!” the Peekabu gloated as she pinched Ash’s cheek.   “We’re going to have such fun working together, cutie, as long as you treat me with respect, okay!”

“Yeah, respect,” Ash said without conviction.   Maybe she wasn’t Shampoo after all.

“Are you going to accept him as your partner or not?” the Professor demanded.

“Oh, I think he’ll do okay,” Shan decided.   “He’s a little short, but he’s got a nice face.”   Turning back to Ash, she added with a warm smile, “Hi, I’m Peekabu Shan, let’s be partners, okay?”

“Okay,” Ash smiled back.   It was kind of hard to resist her cutely innocent beam.   “I’m Ash Catchem.   Pleased to met you.”

Shan smiled then and grasped Ash’s ears and pulled him in for a frenching.

A jolt of electricity seemed to pass between and through them.   It was not at all an unpleasant feeling.   Shan seemed a little dazed and surprised when she came up for air.   She touched her lips and licked them lightly, as if savouring the taste.   “Oh, he’ll do nicely.”

“Children,” Professor Oak sighed with great resignation.   “Alrighty, then.   Ash, a pokéwoman has picked you out to be her partner.   Now …
