“Ranma Sextome?” Ace asked and waited for Ranma’s cautious nod. “We need to talk...”
“Talk?” Ranma asked as he looked the other man over. He didn’t remember meeting anyone of African descent in his life, but... that didn’t mean that cock-sucker Sextome didn’t. “Do I... know you?”
Shaking his head, the dark-skinned man answered, “Not personally. Listen, Mr. Sextome. I’m Kevin Kock, better known as ‘Ace’. I work for the Shadow League.”
“...Okay...” Ranma said slowly.
“Master?” Came a small feminine voice from within the room. “What is it?”
Turning over his shoulder, Ranma told the little Shaguar, “Some guy from the Shadow League, Sheila. Nothing to be worried about... I think.”
His curiosity getting the better of him, Ace looked past Ranma’s shoulder. He’d heard about the beauties Sextome could get a hold of, and couldn’t help but take a peek... and was rather disappointed by the rather petite looking cat-type PokéGirl sitting on the bed. Oh man! What a gyp.
Seeing the other man’s intent gaze, Sheila pouted and lifted the blanket up to cover herself. Her goodies were only for show to those who were appreciative of them, like her sweet and wonderful Master.
Blinking his eyes as he saw his PokéGirl’s actions, Ranma turned back and saw what Ace was doing. His eye twitching in irritation and he spoke up to get the other man’s attention. “A-hem!”
“Oh, right...” Ace shook his head. “Sorry about that...”
“Right...” Ranma said slowly as he crossed his arms over his chest. His nervousness was gone and replaced with annoyance. “Look, what do you want, already? I’m kinda busy right now, and I got more PokéGirls that need to be appreciated.”
Nodding his head, Ace told Ranma, “I can understand that, Sextome. But you see, that’s why I’m here. We need to talk about your PokéGirls.”
Blinking his eyes in surprise, Ranma asked, “We do?”
Again, Ace nodded his head, “Yes. You see, Sextome, we-”
“KNOW THAT YOU KIDNAPPED THEM!” Penny shouted, butting in from behind her Tamer and poking Ranma in the chest.
“Wuh-WHAT!?” Ranma shouted, aghast at the accusation.
“Penny!” Ace shouted, completely flabbergasted that his Alpha PokéGirl would just jump the gun like that. “We can’t just go saying-”
“YOU KIDNAPPED THEM!” Penny shouted again, punctuating each word to a poke to Ranma’s chest, pushing him back into his room step by step. “The Shadow League KNOWS what you did, Sextome!” She growled. “You kidnapped the Diggers girls and have done lord only knows to them! FIEND! MONSTER! POKÉGIRL THIEF!”
Ranma was gawking at the PokéGirl before him who, (rather accurately) accused HIM of doing these things! Sure, he wasn’t the one that did it, but he was trying to pretend to be the one who did it. “And apparently THAT idea has finally come to bite me in the ass,” the pigtailed Tamer thought glumly.
“Geeze! Penny, girl! Calm yoself!” Ace shouted, following his Alpha into the Tamer’s room. He placed a hand on the Drow Zee’s shoulder, but she shook it off.
“Calm nothing!” Penny shouted, growling at Ranma. “YOU, RANMA SEXTOME ARE-”
“THE SWEETEST PERSON IN THE WORLD!” The fourth voice shouted up, causing the other three to turn to her. Glaring at the Drow Zee, Sheila shouted, “How DARE you accuse Master of such horrible, horrible things, you bitch!?”
“Bitch? Bitch!?” Penny shouted. “You might not want to face the truth because you obviously like this asshole, but Ranma Sextome is the lowest of the low scum of the earth! He’s worse than ANY member of Team Rocket!”
His eye-twitching, Ranma drawled, “Gee, thanks...”
“Stuff it, you!” Penny said, smashing an elbow into Ranma’s ribs, catching him off-guard.
“MASTER!” Sheila shouted, worried for her Tamer. She got up from the bed and was already going to him, despite her nudity.
Raising a hand to placate his Shaguar, Ranma told her, “Easy, easy... I’m fine, Sheila, really.”
Holding onto her Master in a hug, Sheila glared in the direction of the other PokéGirl.
Penny glared back at the Shaguar, thinking that obviously, this little, underdeveloped child-like PokéGirl had been brainwashed into liking the dumb and evil prick, or something along those lines.
Lowering his head, Ace sighed and wondered when the situation had so gone out of control. “Penny, listen girl maybe we should-”
“Challenge him to a PokéBattle?” Penny asked. “Why that’s a wonderful idea, Master! That way, we can not only beat this evil and twisted Tamer at his own game, but you can win the Diggers girls back and there’d be nothing he could do about it!”
Ace twitched. “Er, Penny... that’s not what I meant...”
Nodding his head in agreement with the other guy, Ranma said, “Yeah. When it comes to PokéBattling, we-”
“Accept!” Sheila shouted. She’d lost before, and she was itching for a chance to prove her worth to her master.
“Er, no wait, Sheila...” Ranma said slowly.
“Yeah, Penny girl...” Ace also tried to speak up to his PokéGirl. “We don’t want a-”
“PokéBattle?” A new voice questioned. The quartet gathered in the room turned to see a NurseJoy at the door, holding a stack of clean towels. “Oh, how exciting!” The pink-haired PokéGirl continued. “It’s been awhile since we had a good PokéBattle held here... why, not since the other day when Sextome here battled Séance Leer and won!”
A sweat-drop rolling down the side of his head, Ranma asked, “Now wait a minute NurseJoy, we don’t want-”
“As small an audience as last time?” The NurseJoy asked helpfully. “Don’t worry. After word got out of all you’ve done for Greenpeace, you’ve become quite the popular Tamer. I’m sure if we advertise there’s going to be a PokéBattle with you today, you’ll at least have twice as man spectators as there was for the Rack-Shasa Cup.”
Grinning, Sheila turned to her Tamer. “Isn’t that great, Master?”
His shoulders slumping, Ranma lowered his head in defeat. “Swell...”
However, because of his own self-loathing, Ranma didn’t notice that Ace was pretty much mimicking the same motions.
“Way to go, Penny girl...” Ace drawled. Great. He knew the stories and seen the statistics. He knew Sextome was supposed to be damn good and now he had to fight him? Crap!
Grinning happily at what her Tamer said, the Drow Zee told Ace, “No problem, Master. I always do everything with what’s best for you in mind!”
(------)
Sitting back in the Announcer’s Chair, the NurseJoy tapped the microphone, causing a ringing to go through the speakers of the small coliseum. “Testing, testing. One, two...” the NurseJoy spoke into the microphone. Covering her mouth and coughing to clear her throat, the NurseJoy lowered her hands and spoke, “Welcome one and all to the Greenpeace PokéCenter Arena, with the special bout, ‘The Gold Digger 300’. Today’s PokéBattle is brought to you by MILF-brand Dairy Products, fine aged cheeses from fine aged Milktit PokéWomen. Because remember, ‘Milf, she does your body good’.”
“In the red corner,” the NurseJoy began in a tone of voice holding great reverence. “A level 69 PokéGirl Tamer, weighing in at 188 lbs, Seven Gym Badges to his name, over two hundred consecutive victories and no loses. I give you that PokéGirl Tamer wonder, Ranma Sextome!”
At the intense cheering, Ranma winced a little. He knew he had lost to Vash, but since it had been in private, and the Gym Leader didn’t feel like flaunting his victory, it seemed that no one knew the truth. Just like people didn’t know the truth about him not being Sextome.
“Still,” Ranma thought seriously. “I gotta keep up the act...” so managing a grin, Ranma waved out into the audience. Those in the rows and rows of seats seemed to eat it up, cheering louder than before.
Finally, when the cheering seemed to die down, the NurseJoy continued. “And in the blue corner, we have a level 35 PokéGirl Tamer and an agent of the prestigious Shadow League. Weighing in at 196 lbs, no Gym badges but a weight, ninety victories and a bakers dozen in losses, I give you the super studly midnight blue, Kevin ‘Ace’ Kock!”
There was some cheering that sprung up from the audience for the Shadow League Agent. Although it wasn’t anywhere as near-deafening as the cheering for Ranma was, it gave Ace some peace of mind that he apparently had enough popularity.
After some time of cheering for the nubian, the NurseJoy began to speak up again. “The rules for the Gold Digger 300 go as follows,” the pink-haired Nursing PokéGirl continued in a serious tone. “The set-up is four PokéGirls per Tamer. A PokéGirl can be recalled, but it counts as an automatic loss for that round. No death-strikes. There is an allowance of three Healing Items per Tamer for the match. The first person to have four of their PokéGirls defeated or withdrawn is the loser.” The NurseJoy looked between the two Tamers. “Do you two agree to these rules?”
“Got it!” Ranma shouted, having been through this song and dance before.
Nodding his head, Ace shouted, “I’m fine with it!”
“All right then...” the NuseJoy said slowly. She rose her hand up high. She then brought it down with a shout of, “PokéBall GO!”
Using his right hand to grab a PokéBall off from the PokéBelt that went down diagonally over his chest from his left shoulder, Ace threw it with a shout of, “Penny! I Screw You!”
Ranma watched as the PokéBall spun a few moments before opening up into a red light which took the form of a brighter red haze that flashed for a moment before taking the form of a PokéGirl that he was familiar with. It was that dark-skinned woman with pointed ears again, hands on her hips at looking at him with anger.
“Hmm...” Ranma considered this. It was obviously a Dark-type PokéGirl, what with the coloration of her skin and the slinky black dress. And he knew that Dark-types were weak against Fighting, so this might be an easy PokéBattle.
So coming to a conclusion about who needed the experience the most, Ranma took a PokéBall off the PokéBelt around his waist. He threw the red and white sphere with his own cry of, “Gina! I Screw You!”
The spinning PokéBall opened with a similar bright red light, which again started to seep out like a haze before solidifying into the blue-eyed blonde PokéGirl.
Ace blinked his eyes in surprise. He recognized her from the pictures he’d been sent. THAT was Dr. Gina Diggers! And she was a PokéGirl!
Ace frowned. That Saotome was one slick character. While he knew it was stupid for a Tamer to send a Fighting-type against a PSYCHIC PokéGirl, Ace realized since this PokéGirl was one of the two girls he’d been sent to look for, he’d have to be careful. He didn’t want his boss or Dr. Diggers coming down on his ass for hurting the girl.
Seeing how Ace wasn’t doing anything except stare at his PokéGirl, Ranma took the advantage. “Gina! Comet Punch!”
Nodding her head, Gina wound up her fist quickly before rocketing forward with a flying fist, her knuckles glowing with light. “HIYAAAH!”
“Penny!” Ace shouted as he saw the other PokéGirl coming towards her. “Glare!”
Staring right at her oncoming opponent, Penny stared angrily at the blonde, her eyes glowing with a yellow light that reverberated rings of energy towards the Amazonchan.
Gina winced as she went through the series of rings, but she otherwise didn’t’ slow down. She was going to show her master that she had what it took to be a good PokéGirl for PokéBattles! Everyone else in his Harem seemed to be up to Battling, well so could she!
The blonde grinned as her fist came into contact with the other PokéGirl’s face...
...A grin that deflated as the other woman stood there, smirking at the Amazonchan. Grabbing Gina by the fist, Penny then brought both hands up to grab the other woman by the wrist, before judo tossing her over her shoulder, slamming the poor blonde into the flood of the Greenpeace Arena.
“What the hell!?” Ranma gasped. Gina obviously had more muscle than this other girl, so how did she do that!?
“Penny’s a Psychic-type, G,” Ace shouted. “She’s got an advantage against Fighting-types. Not only that, but her glare lessened her power...” he crossed his arms over his chest. “So give it up, Sextome. I may not go around PokéBattling as often as a regular Tamer, but I know how to use my girls effectively.”
Ranma grit his teeth. “Gina! Sweep Kick!”
“Penny!” Ace called out as he saw the PokéGirl on the floor start to swing her leg. “Backstab!”
With that command, Penny disappeared just as Gina’s foot would have connected. “Damn it!” Gina growled as she got to her feet. Her eyes suddenly widened and she screamed in intense pain as she felt something STABBING into her back.
Grinning, Penny twisted the small black of Psychic energy into the other PokéGirl’s back. “Hurts, doesn’t it? You know if you surrender now, Ace and I can take you toOOOPPH!”
Gina managed a grin of her own. Standing still, the Fighting-type had managed to elbow the Drow Zee in the abdomen, breaking the other woman’s concentration on the dagger and causing her some pain.
Smiling as he saw his PokéGirl gain the upper-hand for the moment, Ranma told Gina, “Chi Blast!”
Cupping her hands together as she turned on the other PokéGirl, the blonde Amazonchan began to gather energy in her hands.
Seeing what the blonde was going to do, Ace commanded Penny, “Barrier!”
Bracing herself, the Drow Zee rose a shield of psychic energy, just in time too, as the other PokéGirl let loose her attack.
Ranma frowned as he saw the attack impact against the dark-skinned woman’s defenses. However, he was used to seeing such a tactic and told Gina, “Don’t do anything, Gina. Last time I saw a PokéGirl do this, she couldn’t attack as long as she had that thing up.”
Nodding her head, Gina realized it was a waiting game now. She lowered her fists and looked at her opponent, just waiting.
Ace frowned. Damn. He was used to his opponents trying to break through and thus trying their PokéGirls out a bit, making them easier prey for Penny to deal with. It seemed that Sextome wasn’t going to fall for such a tactic. If this battle was going to continue, he’d need to be the one to make the next move. “Penny! Backstab!”
Seeing Ace’s PokéGirl disappear, Ranma shouted at Gina, “Roll backwards and attack!”
Doing as her Tamer commanded, Gina moved backwards. She managed to smile herself as she saw the Drow Zee reappearing in front of her this time, the Drow Zee’s back to her.
His eyes widening, Ace tried to warn his PokéGirl of the danger she was in. “Penny! Look out behind you, girl!”
Unfortunately, his warning came too late. Penny, as the par of her tactics, stabbed forward... only to find herself hitting nothing.
“HEKIBA!!!” Came Gina’s shout as she performed a technique not often seen outside of the Joketsuzoku Amazonchan Preserves. The deadly, the powerful, the insidious...
WEDGIE!
“EEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!” Penny squealed in pain as the Amazonchan pulled up on her panties, bringing tears of pain and humiliation to her eyes as the Fighting-type was using her own clothing to put intense painful pleasure on her.
Ace grit his teeth as he brought his hand to thick pocket on his left leg, fingering a bottle of Potion. He was going to try and heal his PokéGirl first chance he got
Ignoring the cheers and cat-calls from the audience, Ranma knew he had the advantage right now and he had to press it. “Gina!” He spoke up. “Finish this!”
Nodding her head, Gina quickly let go of the other woman’s underwear before hitting her in the back of the head, pushing her back onto the floor. The blonde Amazonchan then held her hand back, concentrating on performing her greatest technique, one she was sure would wipe the floor with this Drow Zee.
Grinning, Ace saw this as a situation to take advantage of. “Penny!” He shouted as he tossed the red vial over to Penny. When it was above his PokéGirl, the Potion burst open, sprinkling her in the fluids which seemed to just turn to vapor around the Drow Zee, refreshing her quite a bit.
Ranma shook his head. THAT was a wasted item. He saw his PokéGirl had been readying an attack, and then time to use it was, “NOW!”
“HIYAAAH!!!” Gina shouted as she lunged her first forward. However, she didn’t go into a flying punch. Instead, a ball of condensed air came rocketing forward at intense speeds, hitting the downed Drow Zee head on and sending her skidding back across the floor of the arena in pain, finally only stopping as she hit a pall, putting a deep impact impression into it.
Ace grit his teeth. Damn it! That Amazonchan knew the Gust Punch, something only the Grizzlar, Amachanp, and the Amazonchan species could produce. It was considered the single-most powerful Fighting-type technique, as it was about the only attack the Fighting-types could do that would stand up to Psychic and Flying PokéGirls.
Raising a PokéBall, Ace held the device and shouted, “Penny! Return!”
The beam hitting the unconscious PokéGirl, the Drow Zee glowed brightly for a moment before being sucked into the beam of red which retracted back into the PokéBall through the small lens on it.
Ignoring the cheers of the audience, Ranma shouted to Gina, “You did good, Gina! You did good!”
Smiling happily, Gina let off a small sigh of relief. Finally, after so many PokéBattles, SHE was the one victorious!
