[NOTE: Okay, everyone's welcome to not like something. But if you don't like it so much, why do you bother writing in it? Why not write a story for a world you like?]
Suddenly, Ranma heard a voice to his left.
"Did you really have to do that?"
Ranma looked over and saw a girl. One with short black hair, wearing black shorts and a tank top, black gloves, and a utility belt holding various odd pieces of equipment. Not extraordinarily unusual.
The girl was about six inches tall, fluttering around at about his eye level on gossamer wings. *That* part was unusual.
"I mean, usually it doesn't take *that* much to stop an idiot," continued the flying girl. "A few broken bones, a few shots to an unimportant limb, but you don't really have to do this much damage. There's not enough left of these bozos for them to stand trial."
"Trial?" asked Ranma.
"Oh yeah. You think the League lets people get away with this sort of treatment?"
"..." went Ranma.
"Oh. You *do* think the League lets people get away with it. How can you have spent your whole life here and not know there are laws?"
"Well, to tell you the truth..." and Ranma explained about how he came from a different universe.
The girl thought about it for a minute. "... If you didn't seem to be so totally ignorant, I'd think you were making it up." This got a frown from Ranma, which the girl ignored. "Well, it's nice to meet you, Ranma. I'm Lian, Lian Xing."
"Um, nice to meet you..." replied Ranma, a bit surprised at meeting a normal girl here. Well, other than the wings.
Lian smiled. "Now, I'd better explain a few things to you about this world..."
And so Lian explained. About how pokewomen were created. About how most pokewomen needed to be "tamed" regularly, or they would go feral, loosing their intelligence and becoming dangerous to others. About how the structure of tamers was produced, and the League created to govern them. About how there were actually some *nice* people out there.
It came as something of a shock to Ranma.
"I used to work in the Pokewomon League Office of Special Investigations," continued Lian, "But I had a bit of an accident on a mission." She gestured to her body. "I used to be a lot taller than this. So now I'm searching for the 'Soul Edge', which can cure me. I was checking up on a lead when I found you. I suppose I should get back to it, but you really should get that Rosygirl to a Pokecenter. I don't think she'll survive without professional care."
Ranma considered his next move...
