Chapter 1: goes here
A Ranma 1/2, Pok�mon 
crossover
By Catherine Nelson
-------------------------------

	"Wow! Who was that?" Ash points toward a boy practicing a simple warm up kata
in the yard in front of a dojo know as the Tendo dojo.  As Misty and Brock
look, a small computer in Ash's hand began to speak.
	"*Ranma Saotome, a human Pok�mon. The only one of it's kind, Ranma uses
advanced Martial Arts to defeat it's opponents. Ranma Saotome is the most
powerful, unevolved Pok�mon.*"
	"He's a Pok�mon?" Brock said.
	"Pika..... Pikachu!"
	"All right! If he's the most powerful unevolved Pok�mon, I'm gonna get him!"
Ash said as he puled a poke-ball off his belt, "Charmander, I choose y-"
	"No way, I wont let you have him!" Misty yelled as she moved in front of Ash,
facing Ranma. 	"He's mine." She added in a whistful tone.
	"Misty, what's wrong with you?" Brock asked the dazed Misty. "You look
different..."  
	"I don't want to hurt him so I guess I should use Syduck!" Misty said,
assuming a very girlish pose.  "I hope he's not too much older than me."
	"*Ranma Saotome has a tendency to attract all people of the opposite sex.*"
	"Oh no!" Ash said as he watched Misty pull out Syduck's poke-ball.
	"*Ranma Saotome is a chi Pok�mon, and cannot be captured by a pok�-ball.*"
	"What!?!" Misty almost screamed at the computer in Ash's hand.
	"*If threatened with captivity, Ranma will become very violent.*"
	"Pikachu!"
	"So how do we capture it?" Ash asked as they watched Ranma continue to
practice his kata, with slow fluid movements.
	"I don't think you can capture him." Brock said, "It seems that he's as much
human as he is Pok�mon, and that would mean he's probably his own master."
	"Wow, a human Pok�mon who is his own master, I wonder if he can be a Pok�mon
trainer." Ash said.
	"* Ranma Saotome cannot be capturedwithout consent.*"
	"Can't be captured!?!" Misty said in out rage, "Not fair!"
	"I didn't even know there were human Pok�mon." Ash was mesmerized by the
possibilities.
	Ranma begain to move into a harder kata, including many superhuman leaps and
kicks that could only be preformed in the anime world. The three Pok�mon
trainers watched, speechless, as he went on.

-----

	Ranma was lost in his kata, but not so lost that he didn't notice the three
kids who had been staring at him for the last five minutes. The kid in the
middle of the other two was the one that caught his attention the most. The
boy looked so firmilar....
	The naging felling that he knew the boy stayed in a corner of his mind for
the remainder of his morning kata, untill Ranma finaly got fed up with it.
	He stoped and turned to the three kids, one of them looked to be about
Ranma's age, but the others coulden't be more than 11 years old.

-----

	"Oh my God, he see's us, hury before he get's mad." Ash whispered.
	"Hey you!" they heard Ranma say. "Yeah you with the hat, come over here."
	"Me?"Ash said.
	"Yeah, do you see anyone else there with a hat?" 
	"Um, no." Ash, Misty, Brock and Picachu walk twards Ranma.
	"What's your name, you look firmilar." 
	"I'm Ash Catchem."
	"Sounds firmilar... Now where have I heard that name..." Ranma studyed Ash's
face, then Brock's, then Mistys, but turned away from Misty because she had a
weird glint in her eye that reminded him of Kodachi.  He then looked down at
Picachu, his eyes widened, "Of course, a Picachu outside of its ball, it must
be..." Ranma looked back at Ash, and moved a hand to his waist. He put his
hand on a Pok�-ball atached to his paints, he brought out the ball and pressed
the button on it, the ball exspanded.
	"Hey, what are you doing." Ash yelled.
	"Nothing, this is just to make sure you don't try anything." Ranma said.
	"What are you talking about?" Brock said as he watched the ball in Ranmas
hand, the ball was the same as any Pok�-ball but one half was black insted of
white, and the other half was a darker red than Ashs Pok�-balls.
	"You think I don't know who you are? I'll admit I didn't recignize you at
first, but I don't plan to become anyone's Pok�mon, and if that means a
Pok�-battle, then so be it. I haven't had a Pok�-battle scince I came to
Nirema, so bring it on." Ranma said.
	"You mean you wouldn't fight yourself?" Misty said.
	"If I fight where's the chalenge?" Ranma asked, "Didn't your Pok�dex tell you
that I'm the most powerful Pok�mon."
	"You mean most powerful unevolved Pok�mon." Ash corected.
	"No, I am the most powerful Pok�mon." Ranma said as he taused his Pok�-ball
around. "I think your Pok�dex needs to be updated."
	"Oh." Ash was less confident now.
	"So you wanna fight or not?" Ranma asked casualy.
	"Sure, why not!" Ash said.
	"Ok, I'll be back with my Pok�mon." Ranma said.
	"Hey, whats wrong with the one you've got?" Brock asked.
	"Here, take a look." Ranma opened the ball to reveal an.... empty Pok�-ball,
"I always carry one with me in case I run into a rare Pok�mon." Ranma shruged.
	A beed of sweat went down Ash, Brock, Misty, and Picachus head. Ranma runs
into the house. A few seconds latter Ranma jumps quietly out of a window on
the second level of the house and lands in front of the three kids, without a
sound.
	Over his shoulder was a pillow case full of Pok�-balls.
	"Wow, thats a lot of Pok�mon!" Ash said.
	"It's only about a fourth of my Pok�mon." Ranma said casualy.
	"But there's gotta be at least 75 Pok�-balls in there, and there's only 150
known Pok�mon." Ash said brethlessly
	"I know!" Ranma smilled. "You ready?"
	"Um, shure." Ash said.
	"Ok, each of you can send one Pok�mon, and I'll put out one of mine, sound
fair?" Ranma said. 
	"Yeah." Misty said, "I'll start!"
	"Go ahead." Ranma said.
	"Starmi, I choose you!" Misty yelled as she through a Pok�ball at Ranma.
	"A water Pok�mon, hmmmm.... Rapidash come out." Ranma said to a ball he had
thrown on the grownd whitch opened to revile the evolved form of Ponyta.
	"Just 'come out' not, 'I choose you' or 'go fight' just 'come out?'"
	Ranma jumped on Rapidash's back, the bag still in his hand. "That's because I
didn't choose him to fight, I just wanted a seat!" * and, * Ranma thought, *
If some water happens to come my way, Rapidash can heat it up for me! * "Now
it's time to get serious, Machop I choose you!"
	" Ma-chop!"
	"What's that?"
	"* Machop is one of the smartest known Pok�mon, and uses Martal arts
techniqes to  defiet an opponint, it is very agile and strong. Aproch with
caution. *"
	Ranma smiled, "I taught this little Pok�mon some of my tecniques, but mostly
I had him learn the tecnique of my rivals."
	"Why, are their tecniques better than yours?" Brock asked.
	"No, I just don't want anyone else to use my style!" Ranma ansured.
	"Sounds resonable." Misty said, "But lets see how it can take Starmi!"
	" Machop, hidden weapon technique!" Ranma yelled.
	Sudenly about 20 chains with various things atached to them came out of
seemingly thin air.  Starmi tried to move but was tightly surounded by the
many chains.
	"Come on Starmi, you can do it, I know you can!" Misty yelled, but Starmi was
traped. "Starmi, return." Misty said sadly.
	"Next." Ranma said from on top of Rapidash, Machop standing beside him.
	"I'll go next." Brock said. "Onix, I choose you."
	"Um, you might want to choose another Pok�mon." Ranma said to Brock.
	"Why would I choose another Pok�mon?"
	"Because I don't want to hurt a Pok�mon that has no chance of winning, and
could be hurt very badly." Ranma said, "Here let me show you, Machop, over
there, breaking point." Machop went over to the bolder that Ranma pointed at
and exstended one finger.
	"Ma..." and touched the one finger to the rock, "...chop!" the boulder
exsploded.
	"On-ix!" the huge rock Pok�mon shudered.
	"Onix, returen." Brock said in a depressed voice, "I'll have to use...
Valpix, I choose you!" 
	"Hmmm, a fire Pok�mon!" Ranma said.
	"Valpix!" The six tailed Pok�mon said.
	"Cute." Ranma commented. " Machop, here!" Ranma threw a wooden sword to his
Pok�mon. "Boken attack!" Machop used the boken and began striking faster than
the eye can see.
	"Ma... chop! chop! chop! chop! chop!" Valpix ran back to Brock and hid behind
him.
	"Valpix, return." Brock said.
	"Ok," Ash said as he turned his hat on his head, "It's time to get down to
buisness! 
	"Whatever you say little man." Ranma said.
	* Now whitch Pok�mon should I use? Machop has betten a water Pok�mon, a rock
Pok�mon, and a fire Pok�mon. I have Bulbasore, and Pikachu, he hasen't beaten
electric, or poison/grass Pok�mon. * Ash staired at Machoke, deep in thought.
"Ok, Bulbasore, I choose you!" he yelled. Bulbasore came out of the Pok�-ball
and stood, or skwated, in frount of Michoke. "Bulbasore, razore leaf attack!"
	"Machop, Ken-chin-amigury-ken!" Ranma yelled.
	As Bulbasores razor leaf's spirled towards him, Machop's hands started to
move at a blinding speed and Machop began to catch the leaves in mid air, not
missing any, he then begain to through the leaves back at Bulbasore.
Bulbasore managed to dodge some of the leaves, but most of them did hit him.
	"It's not over yet! Bulbasore, vine attack!" Two vines came out of
Bulbasore's back, flying straight at Machop.
	" Machop, catch!" Ranma said.
	"Ma-chop!" Ranma's Pok�mon then caught the two vines and begain to swing it
around.
	"Bul..... ba....... sore!" the little Pok�mon said.
	Ash's eye's went wide, then he lowered his head, "Ok, I give up." He said in
a depressed voice, "Bulbasore return."
	"Hey Ash, are you ok?" Misty asked.
	"No," Ash said, "I'll never be a Pok�mon master like Ranma." he said.
	"Hay, cheer up kid, I've been with Machop scince I was 4, sooner or later
you'll be this good with your Pok�mon, plus I've got an advantage, I am a
Pok�mon, I now exactly what there saying!" Ranma said with a smile.
	"Thanks," Ash said, "I guess I don't mind losing to someone like you!"

-----
	"Did you see that Machop?" Jessie whispered from her hidding place in a bush.
	"That's one extrodinary Pok�mon!" James said.
	"And I bet it's rare too!" Jessie squealed with girlish delight.
	"We'll have to get it away from it's master of course." James said after a
while.
	"No, I think that for once we should try this a diffrent way: Get the master,
and the Pok�mon come with him! Plus he's really cute, and probibly has more
extordinary Pok�mon in that bag." Jessie said.
	"Yeah, the boss'll hit the roof if we get him so many Pok�mon, and I'll be
top cat again!" Meowth said.
	"I sapose your right, so do we go for the Rapindash or the guy on it?" James
said.
	"I'll go for the guy, Meowth can get Rapidash, and you get the Machop! Don't
bother with the brats, they wont try to stop us." Jessie smiled.
	"Yeah, their probibly so mad at him for beating them, that they'll help us!"
James laughed, Jessie and Meowth joined in.
-----

	"Hey, did you hear that?" Ranma asked, turning to the bush where Team Rocket
sat in hiding.
	"I didn't hear anything." Ash said.
	"You sure?" Ranma asked.
	Ash noded. "Pika, pika, pikachu!"  Pikachu said.
	Ranma looked at Ash then back at Pikachu, who noded, "You don't say?" Ranma
smiled.
	"You can understand what Pikachu said?" Brock asked.
	"Of course, all Pok�mon understand one and other!" Ranma said.
	At that moment Team Rocket decided to strike:
	"Prepare for trouble!" Jessie said as she moved in front of Ranma.
	"And make it double!" James said from the other side of the crowd.
	"To protect the world..."
	"Yeah, yeah, yeah, to protect the world from devistation, to unite all
peoples within our nation, heard it a millon times!" Ranma glared at Jessie,
"Just get your Pok�mon out and lets do this!"
	"Huh!?!" Jessie and James said together.
	"You can go on your ego trip later, lets see what you got!" Ranma said,
dismounting Rapadash.
	"Um, ok. Koffing, go!" James said.
	"Ekins go!"Jessie said.
	"Pikachu, thunder strike!" Ash said.
	"No Pikachu, this is my fight." Ranma said. "You keep out of it too Machop."
	"You mean your gonna fight?" Misty asked.
	"Yeah, it's been a while since I fought in a Pok�mon battle!" Ranma said.
	"Fool, everyone knows that humans can't fight in Pok�mon battles!" James
said.
	"Well, I'm not exactly human!" Ranma smilled. 
	"Fine, if you want to get hurt, thats alright with me, Koffing, sluge
attack!"
	As the toxic Pok�mon began to cough up a brown liquid, Ranma called to the
others. "Ash, Brock, Misty, getin the Dojo quick!"
	"Hey, when did we tell him our names, I mean he knew Ash, but why would he
know us?" Misty said.
	"I don't know, but we should probibly get in that dojo." Brock said.
	"I think your right!" Ash said, pointing at Ranma who seemed to be glowing a
deep red.
