Looking over at the master, Penny pursed her lips a bit. “Is something wrong, Master?”
Shrugging, Ace continued to walk. “Nothing. It’s just getting late is all, and I’m tired of walking.”
Smiling a little, the Drow Zee could always read her Tamer like an open book. “You’re still upset about having to leave your mission in Viridick to try and chase down a high-ranking Tamer who has so far done nothing ‘illegal’ as far as his public image goes, aren’t you?”
Keeping his stride as he walked, the agent of the Shadow League just nodded his head. “Yeah,” Ace said after some time. “I mean, we know Team Rocket is a bunch of head-cases that need to be put away behind bars and pronto. While I don’t mind going after this Sextome guy, I’d have preferred to try and take care of that last problem.”
Shaking her head, Penny said, “Master, you can’t expect to take down such an organization by yourself in one town. Team Rocket has been around for close to thirty-years, ever since the Evolution Stone Scam that went from the Indigo all the way to the Blue Continent.”
“I know, but still...” Ace grumbled.
“Still what?” Penny asked curiously.
“Penny,” Ace began slowly his walking pace just finally starting to slow down. “You know me. I’d swear on my father’s grave that Viridick and Team Rocket are tied as one. There are just far too many members we rounded up there in that single town. Viridck must be of some major signifigence to Team Rocket, I just know it!”
“Be that as it may, Master,” Penny spoke up seriously. “You still have to follow orders, just as I follow yours.”
Rolling his eyes, Ace sighed. “It just doesn’t pay to be a law-abiding citizen sometimes.”
Shaking her head, Penny couldn’t keep the playful smile off of her face. “But it certainly does pay, Master.”
Raising an eyebrow, Ace asked, “Oh?”
Smiling, Penny began to undo the clasps over the straps of her dress. “You wouldn’t get nice pokégirls otherwise.”
Nodding his head, Ace chuckled a bit. “True. But we should set up camp first.”
Pouting a little at having to wait before she could give her master what she thought he needed, Penny nodded her head. “Yes, Master.”
Chuckling at his Alpha’s reaction, Ace went and goosed her butt a bit. “Don’t worry. After we got the tent up, I’ll make sure to take care of you.”
Penny just smiled happily.
Smiling, Ace answered, “Yep. This is just a detour. We’ll get back to Viridick soon. We’ll be able to take care of Sextome no problem.”

“ACHOO!” Ranma sneezed loudly.
“God bless you,” Archon said quickly.
Looking over at her master, Jetta asked, “Is something wrong, Master?”
Sniffling for a moment, Ranma grabbed a napkin and blew his nose. “Nah. Just sneezed.” Blinking his eyes, Ranma apologized. “Sorry, Stryyp.”
Using a napkin, Stryyp began to wipe the mucous off of his face. It’s... No problem.”
(------)
Sitting back in a chair, Séance looked over the laptop version of the PokéDex. He could understand Professor Ghaleon giving him the Vixxen, as it would have a most definite advantage against that Shaguar of Sextome’s, but he had been very wary about being given the Heroine to PokéBattle with. After all, it was a Fighting-type! Séance didn’t know the first thing about dealing with a Fighting-type!
But now that he had looked over some of Vain’s files, looked over the PokéDex entry on one, the young Tamer realized he had gotten something quite useful on his hands indeed.
HEROINE, the Heroic Pokegirl
Type: Very Near Human
Element: Fighting/Psychic
Frequency: Rare (Crimson League)
Diet: human diet
Role: champions
Libido: Average (High with bond partner)
Strong Vs: Fighting, Ice, Normal, Poison, Rock, Steel
Weak Vs: Flying, Ghost
Attacks: Deflect, Final Strike (all other vary depending on any weapons)
Enhancements: Improved Fighting skills and psychic powers
Evolves: None
Evolves From: Loner (when bonded)
Heroines cast off their aloofish ways from when they were a Loner and become powerful fighters. They lose some of their weaknesses, but also some of their strengths. Heroines are very affectionate towards their bond partner. Heroines can use any weapon and have access to any Fighting or Psychic attack. The variation of techniques makes them a very difficult opponent. Heroines also have a technique that is known to all Heroines, but has only been used one time. That technique is the Final Strike and, according to them, it is literally that. The Heroine sacrifices themselves to unleash this technique. It's said that Nice Peaks was once one mountain, but was separated into two by this technique. Since the last time it was used was over two hundred years ago and there were no surviving witnesses, how powerful it might be can only be guessed at.
It seemed that Heroines were a rarity among pokégirl element groupings. Heroines not only Fighting-types but they had the sub-element of Psychic-type, a true rarity since Fighting and Psychic-type powers clashed.
“But the point is, we do have a case of a Fighting-type with Psychic-type powers,” Séance thought to himself in excitement. “And that means she’ll be stronger against other Fighting-type with her Psychic-powers!!!”
Looking over his PokéBall that contained the Heroine, Séance couldn’t keep the smile off his face. “It looks like I got myself a new ‘ace-in-the-hole’,” Séance thought with a giddy excitement. Yes, he now had a pokégirl that could deal with the majority of Sextome’s Harem. “And then I shall take Genn BACK!”
Leaning back in his chair, Séance laughed loudly. “YOUR TIME IS NIGH, SEXTOME! I WILL DEFEAT YOU!”
(------)
“ACHOO!”
“God bless you,” the Megami said again as she ate from a fourth pack of World Champ Fries. Who cared if they were cooked in grease? They were damn tasty!
Taking some napkins off of the tray, Jetta offered them to Ranma. “Here you go, Master.”
“Thanks,” Ranma said as he held the napkin up to his nose. He was about to blow his nose, but stopped. Sighing, he tore it in half and offered one of the halves to Stryyp. “Sorry ‘bout that.”
His eye twitching a little, all Stryyp could say was, “It’s... All right.”
Giggling a little, Archon got up from her seat. “I think I’ll go get us some more napkins.”
Nodding her head, Jetta said, “That probably would be for the best.”
(------)
A decent-sized steamship made its way across what was then known as the Pacific Ocean. It was heading towards the Johto/Indigo continents from the Edo Continent. It was a trade ship, bringing goods from the far East to the Western world, as well as a few passengers.
One passenger in particular was a tall redhead with freckles. Standing at 6’3”, he was muscular, and the long red hair made him an awe-inspiring sight. The glaive that was strapped to his back, and the three PokéBalls on his belt marked him as a Tamer of the Edo League, where not only did the pokégirls fight, but so did the Tamers as well.
He had recently come to the ranking of Harem Master within the Edo League, a prestigious title given to only those who not only had beaten all the Harem Master Gym Leaders, but also the head of that League as well.
He would have been content to continue his travels in the Edo League, to continue to build up not only his strength, but that of his pokégirls as well. However, he had gotten wind of something important.
His sister. He knew she had gone through threshold and had become a pokégirl, and he had accepted that. However, when he got word of just WHO the Tamer who had gotten her was, it made his blood boil.
Ranma Sextome.
Not to leave his daughter in a hand of one of the harshest, (albeit high-ranking) Tamers alive, Gar was going to the Edo League to give Sextome a piece of his mind!
Even if he had to beat it into the Tamer’s thick skull, he would do it.
His grip tightening over the rails of the boat, Gar’s chiseled features were deadly-serious. “Just you wait, Sextome,” Gar spoke quietly, yet with a definitely hard edge to it. “You and I are going to tangle soon. No one takes my sister as their pokégirl unless I give them the okay.”
Looking up into the sky, Gar screamed, “YOU’RE A DEAD MAN, SEXTOME!!!”
(------)
“ACCHHHOOOOOOOOOO!!!”
Blinking her eyes, all Archon could say was, “God bless you.” She then noticed the state her Tamer was in and offered him a handful of napkins. “Here you go, Master.”
Dripping mucous from his face, all Stryyp could mumble as he took the napkins from his Alpha pokégirl was, “Thanks...”
Staring at her sniffling Tamer, Jetta asked, “Are you coming down with a cold, Master?”
“I don’t think so,” Ranma said as he blew his nose. “I don’t think I got allergies either.”
Scratching her chin, all Jetta could comment was, “How odd.”
