Her reddish fur was still as fine as ever, her ears were just as erect, her muzzle was still short, but she had two tails extending from hip to well past her knees.
"All right, check these out," said Sumire, hefting her new bounties.
Ryoga, apparently forgotten about by nearly everyone, went down with a spurt of blood from his nose. Fur and other items to the side, she was mainly human in form and her clothing had stretched out almost to the bursting point. Combined with her actions, that had been more than the formerly-lost boy could handle.
"Great, she's gonna be even more full of herself," grumbled Kanna.
Ryoga kept a hankerchief near his nose, just in case.
Ukyo kept adjusting her scorched shirt.
Both of them wanted to hear this before anything else happened.
"Okay, when Ranma was younger his father tried to summon a demon with the idea that this would make him a greater martial artist," began Iris.
"What are you STUPID?" Ryoga asked the tied and gagged Genma.
"He's Genma Saotome, that answer ya?" asked Ukyo. "Now quiet. I wanna hear this."
"Instead he summoned us, the Imperial Theatre Troupe In Training," proclaimed Sumire, posing.
"We're pokegirls," said Kohran. "We were all named after characters in the manga 'Cherry Warriors' and we're of different breeds as you can see."
"What's a pokegirl?" asked Ryoga, holding one hand up.
"In our world, a long time ago, there was a war where bioweapons were unleashed. Those bioweapons were the original pokegirls, and we're descended from humans and pokegirls having babies," said a blushing Kohran.
spurt! Thud!
"He isn't going to do this very much, is he?" asked Kohran, looking at where Ryoga had fainted.
"Okay, I thought I heard this sort of thing on TV but figured it was just a sci-fi channel program," said Ukyo. "So you're all 'pokegirls' like a race, but different 'breeds' like a Rottweiler is different from a Bulldog."
"Well, we're not dogs, but I guess the metaphor sort of works," allowed Kohran.
Ukyo looked around, trying to remember that program. She was working a grill, and had the TV on for customers, and hadn't paid too much attention at the time. She only remembered it at all because some of the customers had been discussing the various film clips and events surrounding the group. "So, what kind of pokegirls are you?"
"I'm a Kitten," said Kohran, her tail swishing and ears twitching. "Kohran. I'm a Normal Element."
"Sumire," said Sumire. The foxgirl bared sharp teeth in a grin. "Evolved from Vulvix to Vixxen. My element is Fire and I am the sole full anthropomorph."
"Maria," said a pale blonde girl with ice-blue eyes. "Icemaiden. Ice Element."
"Sakura," said a girl in a pink kimono. "Slicer. Fighting Type. Good to meet you."
"Kanna," said the tanned tall redhaired girl. "I'm a Fighting Type too, Tyamazon but I expect I'll be evolving to AmazonLee soon. How'd ya do?"
"Iris," said the little blonde girl. "A-bra, which is a Psychic Element."
"Ukyo Kuonji. Okonomiyaki chef," said Ukyo, feeling it was only polite to introduce herself. "So what's your connection to Ranchan here?"
"Pokegirls all have a 'special someone' they bond to," said Kohran, adjusting her glasses.
"As in?" asked Ukyo, getting the feeling she wasn't going to like the answer.
