Right now, Lendo was in a bed and had his left arm and right leg in casts, and his neck was in a brace. It would be quite some time before the irate islander could get up from the injuries he had recieved.
"Poor master should really lie back and take it easy." Ichikoo said as she fussed over her master.
Lendo's left eye twitched. He was so pissed. Ever since his path had crossed with Sextome's, he was losing pride, reputation, money, and Pokegirls with each confrontation. He couldn't seem to defeat Ranma, and even with all the money he'd spend to try and outdo the Sextome Tamer, he was still being beaten and losing Pokegirls.
Sighing, Ichikoo recognized that look on her master's face. "Master isn't going to give up on this until he defeats Ranma, is he?"
Lendo would have nodded his head if it hadn't hurt so much. "You've got that right, Ichikoo."
"Merrrrrrowl! That's right!" Merrowl said. "Master never gives up, no matter how high the odds are stacked against him!"
"I know." Ichikoo said. "But still, how is master supposed to have his revenge, when master is to be stuck in a PokeCenter for quite some time?"
Both Lendo and Merrowl went silent to Ichikoo's question. Indeed, who could help them? Who WOULD help THEM, known criminals!?
A small smile came to Lendo's face as a thought came to him. "Ichikoo, could you get me a video-phone?"
"Why do you ask, Master?" Ichikoo asked.
"I'm going to call in a favor." Ichikoo said. "I'm going to call in Richard."
Both Ichikoo and Merrowl gasped. "NOT RICHARD!"
"Yes. Richard." Lendo said.
(------)
Richard, or 'Fauntleroy', as he was known to many, was born in the city of Ream of the Amethyst League in the year 272 AS, and grew up in a life of wealth and privilege. His Father, who was an official of one of the governing body of the Amethyst League's Government, had many connections to everything that went on inside the League, which meant that Fauntleroy could get almost anything he wanted... Except the one thing he did want. To spend time with his father.
With his father constantly away on official League business, Fauntleroy was left at home, surrounded by servants and his mother, which basically meant he grew up surrounded by pokewomen! His mother was an extremely rare Dragoness, and the servants of the home were an assortment of different types of pokewomen, (as the master of the home expected the servants to be able to control themselves, and so chose the older pokegirls). While this would have been seen more as a jest on the part of his father, it opened up Fauntleroy's eyes. He saw that there were varied kinds of people to the world. There had to be, look at all the different kinds of pokégirls there were. Pretty ones, scary ones, sexual ones, cute ones, happy ones, angry ones, there were so many looks and personalities that Fauntleroy had trouble keeping track of them all at a young age.
As Fauntleroy grew, he still did not see much of his father, or had much contact with the outside world. His father wanted him to stay safe, so he had Fauntleroy stay inside the house. A house that was filled with pokewomen, including his own mother. The servants that came in to work became Fauntleroy's window into the outside world. He would ask them to tell him about anything they knew about what the rest of the world was like. And most were more than happy to talk to him. They filled Fauntleroy's head with ideas of parity, and it seemed to agree with Fauntleroy.
One joy Fauntleroy did have while growing up was when for his seventh Birthday, his father had gotten him a television set and he was able to watch the local Wreckball Team, the Ream Hurricanes, on TV. Fauntleroy was an avid fan of Elena, a domestic Amazonkapoeraa who was one of the greatest Wreckball players he had ever seen.
Fauntleroy was content to live his life. He was a bird in a gilded cage, and knew it, and he honestly didn't care. He would spend time to learn of the world outside the mansion, but any actual interaction with anyone besides his mother and the servants of the house was an alien concept to him.
When Fauntleroy became nineteen, everything changed for him. He had a dream in the summer of his nineteenth year, after passing out upon seeing a weird bird-like pokegirl fly past his window, a bird-type that was featherless and smooth whitish-blue skin, almost like a Selkie's.
In his dream he saw a battle between a multi-headed pokegirl and a fearsome looking warrior beast. There was a flash of light, and the multi-headed dragon lay down dead, and the warrior-beast was surrounded by three bird-like pokegirls. The beast-like creature fought the three birds, but ultimately failed and died, her body falling next to the slain dragon's. Another flash, and where the two bodies lay, there now stood some type of Dragoness. One with a lean, yet muscular body that was somehow felinesque looking. The soft indigo coloring of the skin and leathery wings was contrasted by pale white patches on various parts of her which gave the pokegirl of his dreams the overall appearance of being a cross between a Tigress and a Dragoness as the overall effect was quite exotic, with the white areas seeming almost like stripes against her body.
When Fauntleroy woke up from this dream, he was a changed man. He had never seen ANYTHING like that pokegirl before. Was she real? Was she only a dream? Was she waiting to be created?
Using connections of his father, Fauntleroy got a hold of as many Dragon and Cat E-Medals as he could. It was very possible that the pokegirl of his dreams was a vision of a new pokegirl that was just waiting to be created. She seemed to be a very feline Dragon-type, or a Cat-type with Dragonesque characteristics. And he planned to create her.
After some time of trial and error, Fauntleroy was no closer to finding her through evolution. Not willing to believe she did not exist, Fauntleroy set off, some say pushed on by his madness. He was going to find her. He would not accept the possibility that she did not exist.
Taking two pokégirls he had discovered through evolution, Fauntleroy set off from his home and for the neighboring Blue Continent to the north. Within the Blue League, he had gotten a Tamer’s license, and readied himself.
Fauntleroy has been a Tamer ever since then. He had taken on very few new pokegirls, though he mostly ended up giving them away, feeling no need to keep them. After all, Fauntleroy search was for only the one rare Dragon-type pokegirl. The Dragon-type above all Dragon-types! This would be the pokegirl that could defeat all in her path. For as Fauntleroy knew from his father while growing up, power was what gave one strength to use in any field. This pokegirl would be the one to give Fauntleroy the leverage to be the greatest in any venue he chose.
And he was about to recieve a call from Lendo...
(------)
In the Blue Continent, Fauntleroy sat in a chair by a table in a Taming Room of a PokeCenter. He was wearing a bathrobe and was currently swirling a spoon in a cup of tea to mix the cup's contents. His Wyrm, Test #38, or 'Jane' as she liked to be called, was nude and asleep on the bed, having been tired out from the taming session with her master not too long ago.
Fauntleroy took a spoonful of the tea out of the cup and sipped. A small smile crept onto his face. "Ah, perfect." Putting the spoon down, Fauntleroy started to drink from his cup.
There was a knocking at the door, and Fauntleroy put his cup down onto the room's small table. "Who is it?" Fauntleroy called out, starting to feel irate that someone would bother him.
"NurseJoy." Called out a female voice from the other side of the closed door. "There is a man that's been calling around the Blue League, looking for you, Mr. Fauntleroy. He says his name is 'Rivalsan', and that it's an urgent message."
Fauntleroy smirked. Rivalsan. A well-known, prosperous family of the Edo Islands. They were to the Edo League what the Jahana Corp. was to the Crimson League. Although, while Jahana Corp made products for all venues of life, Rivalsan Inc. specialized in research and production of PokeArmors and Threshold research. The Rivalsans had had a few contacts with the Fauntleroys... But nothing more.
Fauntleroy just sighed. "Ah, patch him in."
"Yes, Mr. Fauntleroy". Came the voice from the NurseJoy.
Fauntleroy turned his head towards the monitor on the wall. After a few moments, the montior turned on and Fauntleroy was greeted to the image of Lendo... Rather busted up. "My, my, Rivalsan... Now what has happened to you to make you into such a mess?"
"That is why I am calling." Lendo said. "I ran across a Tamer who has given my nothing but trouble."
"Oh? And Who might that be" Fauntleroy asked, taking another sip of his tea.
"Ranma Sextome." Lendo answered.
Fauntleroy spit his tea. "What? You came across the renegade Tamer?"
"Yes!" Lendo answered. "I tried to steal, er, I mean, seal a deal between the two of us so I could take his pokegirls off his hands."
Fauntleroy smirked. "You're a horrible liar, Lendo. I know how you've been lately, 'Team Rivalsan'. I'm willing to bet you tried to bite of more than you could chew, and attacked the well-known Pokegirl Theif, Ranma Sextome, to steal his pokegirls, correct?"
Lendo sighed. "Correct."
"So, why tell me all this?" Fauntleroy asked, going back to drinking his tea.
"Simple. I want you to go and fight Sextome!" Lendo said in all seriousness.
Fauntleroy raised an eyebrow. "Oh, and why should I help you?"
"Come on! My family did you a favor that time, now I'm collecting!" Rivalsan said.
Fauntleroy said. It was true. When Fauntleroy was trying to gather E-Medals, the Rivalsan family had supplied the majority of E-Medals for his experiments. Sighing, Fauntleroy knew he'd have to pay them back sooner or later. "Fine, and what do you want me to do?"
"I want you to get your butt down to the land-bridge between the Amethyst and Blue Continents, and ambush Sextome!" Lendo said. "And when you defeat him, take all his Pokegirls and give them to me!"
Fauntleroy shrugged his shoulders. "Fine. I'll take my Drake #6 later and head out to the Land Bridge sooner or later."
"I'd prefer sooner." Lendo said. "I have no idea when he'll reach the land-bridge, but I prefer you beat him to it."
"Very well..." Fauntleroy said in a bored tone of voice. He then looked at Lendo seriously. "But be warned. If I am not pleased with this mission, I am going to take it out of yoru hide, Rivalsan."
Trembling a little, Lendo said, "Fine. Over and out!" And the monitor turned off.
Frowning, Fauntleroy clasped his hands in front of him, his brow furrowed in thought. "So, Lendo wants me to fight and defeat Sextome? Hmm... It might actually be a good test for my skill..."
WYRM, The Slithering Dragon Pokegirl
Type: Near Human Metamorph
Element: Dragon/Poison
Frequency: Rare
Diet: Human-like diet, (Though prefers to eat food whole)
Role: They make excellent scouts and spies.
Libido: Average
Strong Vs: Dragon, Bug, Fighting, Plant, Water
Weak Vs: Ice, Ground, Psychic
Attacks: Slash, Cut, Bite, Venom Bite, Wrap, Glare, Leer, Dragon Rage
Enhancements: Tough skin, Hypnotic Gaze, Morphing Abilities
Evolves: None
Evolves From: Naga (Dragon E-Medal)
A Wyrm is an odd variation of Dragon-types, as it is more of a metamorph, like Lupina. Coming only into existence when a Tamer gives his Naga a Dragon E-Medal, and she becomes a Wyrm.
The most common reason for a Tamer using a Wyrm compared to most Dragon-types is that she is easier to get under control than moat Dragon-types. While most Tamers love to have a Dragon-type like Draco or Dracona, they usually do not have the allocated amounts of powerful Blood Gifts to gain the respect of their Dragon-type pokegirls. By giving a Naga a Dragon E-Medal, the Naga evolves into a slightly less powerful, but far more obedient Dragon-type pokegirl, Wyrm.
In her Passive Mode, a Wyrm is very human like in appearance, the only noticeable differences are her skin tone, (which happens to have a slight shade of whatever color her scales are in Battle Mode is, usually violet), her hair is much more coarse than a normal girls, (and colored a darker tint then coloration of her skin) and slightly pointed ears. Taming a Wyrm is always done in Passive Mode, as it is neigh-impossible to tame her while in Battle Mode. Also while Taming, a Wyrm is very subservient. They have a tendency to like pain and are almost willing to be beaten upon during a Taming Session. This is why it is a good idea to have a Wyrm in the same Harem as a dominating pokegirl such as a Domina, or a very amorous pokegirl to keep her busy, such as a Vixxen.
Battle Mode is quite a sight to behold. The Wyrm is basically a HUGE snake. Spanning anywhere from 40' to 60' in length, and an average width of 5' for body and 6' to 7' for the head, the Wyrm is suited for swallowing her prey and opponent pokegirls whole.
When dealing with taming a Wyrm, one must keep in mind that the Wyrm is not as poisonous as her pre-evolved form of Naga, since she has better control over the natural poisons her body produces. Also, it should be stated that because of the control a Wyrm has over the poisons, she has a vast array of poisons she can produce.
Battle with a Wyrm is always a difficult task. While the Wyrms are great at lunging and have decent physical strength, they do not have the inclined flexibility to be able to strike out. In Battle mode, they are basically huge snakes, and with only their jaws and the end of their tails as a mode of attack, the Wyrm is very limited with her options in battle.
On a whole, it should be noted that while Wyrms are highly intelligent, they usually let their submissiveness to their Tamer overrule them. This leads them to take the place as a pokégirl with no will, even though they may very well be smarter than their Tamer. And though while Wyrms do have the will to question their Tamer when they feel he, (or she) is making a mistake, their somewhat spineless nature will make it so that they do not go against their Tamer's judgment.
DRAKE, the Flight Dragon Pokegirl
Type: Very Near Human Metamorph
Element: Dragon/Flying
Frequency: Rare
Diet: Human-like Diet
Role: Courier, Scout, Cook
Libido: Average
Strong Vs: Dragon, Fighting, Plant, Bug, Ground
Weak Vs: Ice, Electric, Rock
Attacks: Gust, Whirlwind, Mach Breaker, Wingover, Dive, Dragon Rage
Enhancements: Wings, Strong claws, Enhanced speed, Morphing Abilities
Evolves: None
Evolves From: Falcongentle (Dragon E-Medal)
When a Falcongentle is given a Dragon E-Medal, she becomes a Dragon-type Metamorph of Drake; with both a Passive and Battle form to use both in and outside of battles.
The Passive form is incredibly human-looking, that it is almost impossible to tell that the Drake is a pokegirl. Her muscle-tone, height, the colors of her skin, hair, and eyes, are so 'human' that she could easily pass as a human girl. Taming also happens to be done while the Drake is in this mode as well.
A note on Taming a Drake is that a Drake is a very excitable pokegirl when it comes to sex. Not so much the fact that Drakes have high-libidos like a Vixxen or as amorous as Growlies, but Drakes just like sex. They will never be one to turn down a Taming. They do however draw a line with being on the bottom. They dislike the feeling of not being able to move around as much and so are usually on top during Taming Sessions.
The Battle Mode of the Drake however, is quite an interesting sight. Unlike her pre-evolved form of Falcongentle, the Drake is featherless, and is instead covered in scales. The scaled dragon-like body isn't much larger than her human form, only having up to five times as much mass. The Drake has smooth scales, giving her body and almost leather-like feel. The arms and wings are connected into one form and are comparable to a Zubutt's or Foxxglove's.
Battle with a Drake is always like the game of cat and mouse. A Drake will try to fly around the opponent pokegirl for as long as possible, looking for an opening or a weakness in the other pokegirl's defenses. When the Drake spots such a weakness or opening, she will attack, and then try to get out of the area as soon as possible.
It should be noted that there is a unique 'quirk' to the Drake. A Drake seems to have a natural tendency to try to act as a cook. It is unknown why a Drake tries to cook food, but she just does. And she usually has a high rate of success when it comes to learning new recipes. However, cooking anything with alcohol seems to make a Drake skittish and unresponsive.
Overall, Drakes are highly intelligent and good cooks, they tend to let their submissiveness to their Tamer overrule them. This leads them to take the place as a pokégirl with no will, even though they may very well be smarter than their Tamer, doing anything he asks, even when they know he is wrong.
