"I think I know what is causing all this," Kasumi said to the others after Akane and Ranma told her and Nabiki about the new changes. "Ranma, you remember the lamp you gave me yesterday?"
Ranma gasped. "You mean to tell me you made a wish that changed us like this?"
"Perhaps... but I'm going to find out," Kasumi replied and hurried upstairs.
"Um, wait a sec..." Akane said in a confused voice while they were following her oldest sister. "Lamp? Wish? What's going on here?"
----
A few moments later, they were all standing in Kasumi's room. Meanwhile, the bluish tint on her skin has already spread over most of her face and was beginning to wander down her shoulders. In addition to her whiskers, much more facial fur has grown on Nabiki's face, so that she didn't bother anymore to clip it down. Also, her ears have grown and were sticking out of her hair. Ranma's fingernails were slowly turning into claws while his skin was tinged red. On Akane's body, the spiky, yellow fur had begun growing on her body, and on some places, it has already pierced her clothing.
"I hope this is only temporary," Akane grumbled. "Or I'll need a new wardrobe."
Kasumi smiled. "You just have to relax, Akane. Your fur then will flatten to your body."
Ranma rubbed the lamp. "Mihoshi, get out here!"
The smoke flowed out of the bottle and turned into the curvaceous and ditzy genie. "Hi there," she grinned. "Satisfied with your wish?"
"I can't remember making a wish," Kasumi said. "Was it yesterday evening?"
"Yup!" Mihoshi nodded. "Your exact words have been, and I quote: 'Too bad Ranma was the one to find that bottle. I could make everyone a Pokémon... or at least half of them! I wish something like that would happen.' End quote!"
Kasumi sighed. "I figured it was something like this..."
"Pokémon?" Akane gasped. "We're turning into Pokémon?"
"I'm afraid so," Kasumi nodded. "From what I see, you'll be a Jolteon, an electric-type Pokémon. Nabiki I'm pretty sure is turning into a Meowth, a cat-like normal-type."
"Hey, I'm anything but normal," Nabiki grumbled.
"Myself, I'm thinking I might be a Vaporeon, a water-type... but I'm not too sure about it. Ranma could be either a Charmander or a Charmeleon... but he's definitely a fire-type."
"How do you know about all this?" Ranma wondered.
Kasumi grinned sheepishly and walked over to her drawer. There, she pulled out her Gameboy Advance. "You know, I've been playing these games for a few years now..."
Nabiki giggled. "Are there more secrets you haven't told us, sis?"
Akane turned to Mihoshi. "But... you can change us back, right?"
"Nope, no can do, I'm sorry," the bubbly genie replied. "A wish is a wish... and your sister only got one. Besides, I only stayed behind so I can tell you the exact effects of the wish: Over this day, every human on Earth will slowly turn into a being that's half-human, half-Pokémon. Some of the Pokémon's instincts will come to the surface..."
"So that's why I pounced on that rolling coin," Nabiki realized.
"And it won't be reversable. Well, that's all! Have fun!"
"Wait a minute!" Kasumi shouted. "Please, you have to do something against this."
"I really can't help you further," Mihosi said while turning back into smoke. "And I have to leave now... the next costumer's waiting! Bye-bye!"
And after the smoke was back into the bottle, it simply disappeared.
Nabiki groaned. Akane sighed. "Well, I think you messed up, Kasumi."
"Oh well," Kasumi sighed. "Can't be helped now... besides, I think your new abilities will come in handy if there's a blackout." She giggled.
"Very funny..." Akane growled.
Then, she took a sniff. "Does anyone else smell something burnt?"
They looked around. Then, Nabiki's gaze fell on Ranma's behind. "Um, Saotome... I think your pants are burning."
"YAAAAAH!" Ranma screamed and jumped around the room while swatting his own butt. "Put it out! Put it out!"
"Ummm... Actually, I think that wouldn't be a good idea. A Charmander's tail is always on fire... and if the flame would be extinguished, it would grow much weaker and would probably become sick, until it was lit again."
"Great..." Ranma moaned, when the back of his pants exploded and a reptilian tail shot outward, tipped by the trademark flame of a Charmander.
Akane blushed when she saw Ranma's behind and turned around. Nabiki just watched the show and whistled. "Nice derriere, Saotome!" Kasumi simply murmured: "Oh my..."
"Oh my indeed," Ranma groaned.
