"I was worried about you when I heard that EVERYONE was changing," Nodoka explained while they were sitting at the table, drinking some of Kasumi's fabulous tea. "So I decided to come over as soon as possible..." She threw her female son a loving glance. "But I never imagined that my Ranma would be similar to me... OR that he would look soooo cute."
Ranma blushed. "Mom... I'm only like this when I'm a girl..." she mumbled.
"What do you mean?" his mother asked. Ranma sighed, took the kettle and poured some of the hot tea over her head.
Now, once again a male Charmander morph, he put down the kettle. "See now? Only when I'm female, I'm a Vulpix. When I'm male, I'm a Charmander."
Nodoka smiled. "Oh, that's okay... After all, you look so much more... MANLY like this!"
Ranma groaned. He had expected that reaction.
"But anyways, think of all the cute bows we can put into your fur when you're a Vulpix..."
"MOM!"
She giggled. "Just kidding, dear..."
Just then, someone else knocked at the door, and it sounded pretty urgent.
"Akane! Ranma!" a girl's voice shouted. "Please, you gotta help me!"
Akane and Ranma exchanged a quick look. "That sounds like Sayuri," Akane realized.
Quickly they rushed to the door. When they opened, Sayuri stood in front of them, panting heavily, her feathery ponytail draped over her shoulder. It looked very much like she was going to be a Pidgey.
"Quick, you've got to help Hiroshi," she shouted.
"What happened?" Ranma asked. "Where is he?"
"Down the street," Sayuri replied. "We were just going for a walk when suddenly, we got attacked by two bullies. We weren't able to escape, so Hiroshi told me to get you... he would distract them."
"Hiroshi wants to take on two bullies?" Nabiki wondered. "Small, wimpy Hiroshi?"
Sayuri blushed. "He... he said he wanted to protect me..."
Ranma hesitated no longer and ran down the streets. Akane was able to keep up with him because of her new Jolteon speed.
When they reached the place, they could see how Hiroshi was crouching on the floor, his short muzzle twitching in fear. In his panic, he was clutching his Rattata tail to his chest.
In front of him, two half-transformed men were standing. The arms of one man seemed to have turned into deadly sickles, like those of a Scyther. The other one was part Machoke.
The Machoke smirked at his friend. "See, I toldya: All normal-types are wimps! He took one step closer to the cowering Hiroshi. "So, you wanna play hero some more?" he mocked and flexed his muscles. "You don't look that brave anymore, right?"
"Perhaps I should just cut his little tail off," the Half-Scyther grinned and raised his arms. Hiroshi yelped.
But before the Scyther could do anything like that, he got thrown back by a jump kick performed by Ranma. He fell to the ground with a small 'oof'.
"You wanna pick on someone your own size?" the martial arts Charmander snorted as he went into his battle stance. Next to him, Akane did the same.
The other man grinned. "Well, you seem do know martial arts eh? But not as good as me, I'm sure. After all, I became a fighting-type, and you not."
"Less bragging, more fighting," the Scyther hissed as he stood up and rushed at Ranma.
Ranma blocked the incoming scythes with his own claws and attacked with a flurry of his own swipes, sped up with the Kachu Tenshin Amaguriken.
Meanwhile, the Machoke was facing Akane. They were slowly circling each other. "C'mon, little girl," the bully mocked her. "Show me what you've got... YAAAAARRRRGGGGHH!" He screamed as Akane attacked him with a massive shock of electricity. In her rage, she didn't even think of touching him with her hands... she just directed the shocks into his direction.
Scorched and paralyzed, the bully fell to the ground.
At that time, Ranma had just kicked the Scyther into a wall, then, solely acting on instinct, he opened his mouth.
"CHAAAAARRRRR!" he yelled, exhaling a big flame that engulfed the man. His opponent yelled in pain, as he was weak against fire, as all bug-types were.
He rolled around on the ground until all of the flames were extinguished. "I give up, I give up," he shouted panically.
Ranma just picked him up from the ground. "Get out of here... and don't come back here again, you hear me?" Then he threw him onto his paralyzed pal.
They turned to Hiroshi and helped him get up. "You okay, man?" Ranma asked.
"Y-y-yeah..." the Rattata-boy stuttered. "Um, thanks, Ranma... Akane..."
"Hiroshi!" Hiroshi got thrown against the wall as he was being hugged by a Pidgey-girl. "I was so worried," Sayuri said.
Then she looked at him sternly. "Never do something like that again, you hear me? You almost gave me a heart attack."
"S-sorry about this, Sayuri," Hiroshi said. "Won't happen again, I promise..."
Sayuri sighed, then hugged him again. "You baka..."
Akane smiled. "Awwww, isn't that sweet?"
