You could say that.
"Can't you just answer 'yes' or 'no'?" asked Ranma.
There are several pokegirls with provisional registration to you. However you do not own them as you have not formally registered as their ResPa or Trainer nor have you accepted any of them formally or imprinted any of them.
"'ResPa'?" asked Ranma.
The legal term because 'Keeper' and 'Master' and 'Tamer' all have negative emotional/historical repercussions. It is short for Responsible Party or Legal Authority. The term is rarely used except in such legal documentation.
"Uh huh," said Ranma. "'Imprint'?"
Currently all of those who desire to join you as one of your harem are dealing with the build-up of an emotional and sexual bond-desire. Once you give in and accept them, then proceed to have sex with them, they will imprint on you and be more accepting of your authority.
Ranma twitched a few times with his pigtail sticking up and out in apparent shock. It took Ranma a few moments with this rattling around in his head before he could formulate the next question.
"Does that mean my curse is one of these pokegirls now?" asked Ranma with a scowl.
Inquiry makes no sense. Please restate.
"My Jusenkyo curse? Do I turn into a pokegirl now?" tried Ranma.
Ranma Saotome has already removed his own Jusenkyo curse, stated the interface. In retcon, Ranma Saotome was cursed to turn into a completely human woman. As this would likely be fatal if forced to remain in that form for an extended period, curing the curse became a considerable priority and preparations were made prior to leaving China.
"Okayyy," said Ranma.
Your father, of course, took pictures which circulated thereafter as he threatened to release them unless you complied with one of his threats. The photos were stolen anyway and made their way into general circulation. Hiroshi and Daisuke have attempted to restore and alter your curse four times since gaining access to the Great Will's operation mechanism. Now five times.
"Can you turn OFF the 'operation mechanism' for now?" asked Ranma, feeling a little nauseous. "And make sure my Pop continues to turn into a panda."
Done, and there has been no change to Genma Saotome's Jusenkyo panda curse.
"'Done'?" asked Ranma.
Operation mechanism of Great Will is currently 'off' - in order for Hiroshi and Daisuke to access, it will require Holder of Great Will Ranma Saotome to reactivate.
Ranma winced, wishing he'd thought of doing that a LOT sooner. "What were they trying to do?"
Attempt was to reinstate your female form and make you a pokegirl 24/7 so they could add you, your fighting skills, and your harem to their own harems.
Ranma cracked his knuckles. "Oh. Were they?"
Indeed.
"What are my 'friends' doing now?" asked Ranma.
Being chased by Yuka and Sayuri, their pokegirls, who are very unhappy about their Trainers at the moment.
"Gee, I wonder why," grumped Ranma.
First is the fact that even in the retcon they've been mostly talk and groping, and have failed to address the needs of their pokegirls. Second was the attempt to include you as a harem-sister, which activity they view in a negative light due to their retconned history having some fondness for you. Third is the idea that they are to be lesser members of a large shared harem, which does not sit well with either of the two pokegirls in question. Fourth was that the two had been ordered to put on a lesbian sexual performance in public. Sayuri especially objects to the use of cheese whiz and animal crackers. Yuka, on the other hand, has less trouble with those aspects and more difficulty with wearing skintight leather, particularly in this weather.
"Uhm, yeah, I can sort of see that," said Ranma, deciding he really didn't want further details.
In the yard, Mrs Tendo came out with a large washbasket.
"Erk," said Ranma as he adjusted to seeing a living Mrs Tendo much less one with cat ears and a tail. "She's a cat?"
You might want to use your pokedex. That's the red box at your belt.
"This thing?" asked Ranma, pulling the unfamiliar device off an equally familiar belt. He decided to ask about the other gadgets later. "What's it do?"
It includes an encyclopedia, medical scanner, team management software, and has a number of other functions. All concerned with pokegirls. Open it, point the blue lens at Kimiko Tendo, and press the [Scan] key.
Ranma pointed the gadget and pressed a button.
