[Episode 27658] [Episode 27658]It had started a little after Ranma had faced off against his duplicate.
****
Nabiki stared down at the little red and white plastic ball and arched an eyebrow.
"That didn't even hurt," Nabiki said. "What was that supposed to do?"
"She...she didn't get taken in!" one of the three thugs declared. "How?!" One of them frantically pulled out what looked like a palm pilot and pointed it at her.
"It says she's not a pokegirl!" the man said. "But...but...if that poke-ball didn't work she would have to be..."
"Pure-breed human?!" another said. "None of those exist anymore!"
"Excuse me, can I see that?" Nabiki asked stepping forward, and reaching for the palm-pilot.
"Hey, bitch! What do you think you're doing?" one of the thugs who wasn't quite as shocked said. He reached out to grab her.
It should be noted that Nabiki was no where near the level of martial artist that most of the Neriman set were. However, she was still from a martial arts family, and she kept in shape, and she was more than a match for the average street thug. Or even three of them.
Nabiki stood in the middle of the pile of senseless bodies and calmly read through the various screens on the history of this world.
"Hmmm," she said. "Very interesting world you've brought me too, Saotome." A little more tapping and she found a map with her location and the direction to the nearest town. Then she yawned and started walking.
****
At the edge of that town she came across the crowd of people and pokegirls.
"What's going on?" she asked somebody.
"Somebody knocked out a feral goth with a draining attack," the man said. "She evolved into a vampire...so they're going to put her down." Nabiki frowned for a moment and then came to a decision.
"A goth you said?" she asked in a frantic tone of voice.
"Yes, why?" the man asked.
"I...I was attacked by a team rocket a few days ago!" she said. "My goth ran away...what was her name?"
"She's a vampire now," the man said. "You're better off letting her go. Trying to tame her now will just kill you or make you like her."
"But! She's my responsibility," Nabiki said, part-demanding, part-panicked in just the right mix. "Listen if it's not her, fine, but if it's her...I'll take care of it...okay? Just give me a pokeball to take her away from town and take care of it privately, okay?"
"Don't talk to me, girl," the man said.
"Who do I talk to?" Nabiki asked.
"Hey! Hey, Abe! this girl thinks the goth is hers!"
****
"So, what's your name?" Nabiki asked the vampire, washing her neck and smiling.
"Natasha," the vampire said. "You're not going to kill me?"
"Why would I go through the trouble of taming you just to kill you?" Nabiki asked. "I can't stand the idea of killing someone for something they can't control, really."
"But aren't you worried..." Natasha asked.
"Look at the bite," Nabiki said. "Do you see any green?" Natasha looked and worked her jaw up and down for a bit.
"But...I was feral!" she protested. "Feral vampires always infect their wounds."
"Ahh, but that only works on people with pokegirl genetics," Nabiki said. "Doesn't it?"
"But there aren't any pure-bred humans any more," Natasha said.
"There's at least one now," Nabiki said. "Though I'd wager there's at least three others. I'm not from this world you see."
"What?" Natasha asked. She was starting to think this girl was a little crazy. Nabiki moved over and slipped next to Natasha, smiling as she did so.
"But let's talk about that later," she said. "I feel like at least one of us needs to be...tamed a little more."
Natasha's evil and eager smile matched Nabiki's easily.
And then Nabiki was shoved aside by something out of the shadows.
Nabiki shook her head out and stood up.
"I have her, master," Natasha said.
Nabiki turned and saw her vampire holding a suddenly sleepy black-skinned girl with pointed ears. I quick look at her pokedex revealed the girl as drowzee. She was feral, but the remnants of clothing seemed to point to the idea that she wasn't born that way.
"Well, looks like someone else needs taming first," Nabiki said. Moving forward and catching the sleepy drowzee's lips with her own.
****
Penny, as she named herself, came out of her taming with the information of a stash of pokeballs near by, girls forced into threshold mostly. She had been left to guard it, and apparently it had been forgotten, as she had been left so long that she had gone feral.
Which was how Nabiki came by her harem. In addition to the vampire and the drowzee there was a charlieangel, who simple went by the name "Charlie," an elf named Mesha, a witch named Mimi, and a naga by the name of Sith.
Mimi and Natasha apparently knew each other...much to Nabiki's irritation.
"She's a self-serving demoness," Mimi declared.
"Actually, I'm a vampire," Natasha said.
"You've been a bad seed since we were children," Mimi declared.
"And you're still a self-righteous little twit," Natasha snarled back. At which point Nabiki resignedly asked Sith and Charlie to step in and seperate them.
"Can we please try not to fight?" Nabiki asked. "I'm keeping both of you, so whatever you got in your past, can you forget it? Now, let's go before whoever left you here remembers to come check. Now, let's see, we only have five pokeballs...Penny can you walk with me?"
