Here's yet another story from that crossover fiend:  Me, SAMAS.  

Sorry about the rewrite, I had originally planned to have Ranma as the 
Female Nidoran, and Akane as the male, but I decided to scrap the idea, 
and let them keep their original gender.  I guessed the Pokemon thing 
was bad enough.  

This is one of the few times I will show such mercy.

Story note(Pokemon):  This story assumes that the Pokemon story takes 
place on a large island in the Pacific Ocean.  The Pokemon League 
mentioned in the game and anime is the local league in Pokemon Island.  
Having won the Local Championship, a trainer now has the right to 
compete in the GPL, or Global Pokemon League.  Ash has beaten the Elite 
Four, and now sets off to find Gary and face the world.  His main Lineup 
of Pokemon hasn't changed much so far, just some evolution, but he may 
have other Pokemon back at Prof. Oak's.  

Discriptions of attacks will be based on what I've seen on the show, or 
in the case of attacks not seen of if it's just better, my own images I 
come up with when I play the game. 

Story Note(Ranma 1/2):  This takes place at the normal mid-times usually 
used in Ranma fanfics.  There are quite a few differences, though:

Ranma is not cursed... yet (evil grin).  Instead, he lives at the Narima 
Dojo /Gym with his little sister Ranko.  

Genma lives with Nadoka, as he never made that stipid promise to make 
Ranma, "a Man amongst men."  He did swear to make him and Ranko the best 
Pokemon trainers in the world, however.  

Of course, Ranma has yet to visit Jusenkyo, and so far knows nothing 
about the curses... Heh heh heh.  Of course, this means a new 
introduction for Shampoo.

Oh, and one other thing:  Seeing as how this is the Pokemon world,  I 
felt that the Nekoken was... inadequate.  (Evil Laughter)

Ranma 1/2 owned by Rumiko Takahashi above all others.    
Pokemon owned By Nintendo, Game Freak, and Creatures inc.

There will be some characters in this story based off of the ideas, and 
possibly the Pokemon games, of some of the readers on this list.  When 
they show up, I'll give the creators their props.


Nidoranma 1/2 (tentative title)

By Damien Hailey.


Announcer:  "Ash and his friends, having defeated the Elite Four atop 
Indigo Plateau, now set out beyond the shores of Pokemon Island to 
explore the world and to compete in the Global Pokemon League."  

Ash dropped from Pidgot's claws to the sand below.  Behind him, Brock 
and Misty, former trainers of the Pewter and Cerulean City Pokemon Gyms, 
respectively, rode in on the back of Misty's Lapras.  

Pikachu dropped from Ash's shoulder and stretched, happy to be on solid 
ground once more.  "Pika!"  "See Pikachu,"  Ash said, "I told you not to 
worry too much!  Pidgeot knows what it's doing!"  Pidgeot cooed in 
agreement.  

Misty petted Lapras as Brock gratefully dismounted.  "Well, we wouldn't 
have to surf all this way to Japan if you could for once pick a ship 
that DOESN'T get attacked by Team Rocket and sunk before it gets a few 
miles from the Island!"

Ash had the decency to look sheepish.  "Hey, it was only our second 
trip!  How was I to know Team Rocket had the ship staked out again?"

"Hey, you two!"  Brock called.  "Let's find someplace to rest and wash 
this seawater out of out clothes, we're beginning to reek of salt!"

Pidgeot sniffed Ash and recoiled back.  "Pidgeot!" 

"Very funny!"  Ash replied, drawing his PokeBall.  "Pidgeot, Return!"  A 
beam of light shot out of the white button on the front of the ball, 
striking the large bird and pulling it into the waiting ball.  Ash 
clipped the ball to his belt.  "Brock's right.  Let's go!"

Misty pulled out a map.  "It says here, that the nearest large city is 
Tokyo."

Ash moved closer to look.  "Hey, there's two Gyms in Tokyo!"  

"Cities on the mainland, even island nations like Japan, are much larger 
than the ones back on Pokemon Island."  Brock explained.  "Some of the 
larger cities have two, three, or even four Gyms."

"Saffron City even used to have two Gyms,"  Misty added, "But Sabrina's 
Gym beat the other in a battle, and they lost their Gym status.  Not to 
mention Dark City."

"Oh yeah, I forgot!"  Ash said.  "Wasn't that the Fighting Dojo we heard 
about?  Maybe we should've gone there after I got the Marsh Badge."


Chapter One
Ash:  Nidorans, and a New Journey!


"Pika!"  Pikachu cried, pointing to some bushes.  "Pi-Pika!"  Ash turned 
around to see a rustling in the bushes.  Suddenly, a small, blue 
creature that resembled a spiked rabbit, but with large, round ears, 
emerged.  

"Hey," Ash said, pulling out his PokeDex.  "Isn't that..."

Dexter buzzed.  "Conflicting readings, cannot identify."

"Conflicting?  What's the strongest reading, then?"

"Female Nidoran."  Dexter chimed.  "A Poison Pin Pokemon.  The female of 
the species has smaller spines than the male."

There was another rustling, and another Nidoran arrived.  This one was 
purple, with longer ears and larger spikes.  A small horn jutted from 
its forehead.

"Nidoran Male."  Dexter continued.  "This Rabbit-like creature has 
large, poisonous spines used for defense.  The males are very protective 
of their mates."  

"Hey, cool!"  Ash exclaimed.  "I never got the chance to catch a pair of 
Nidorans!"  He pulled out another PokeBall.  "Bulbasaur, Pikachu, GO!"  
The ball opened, releasing a lizard or Dinosaur-like creature with a 
plant closed on its back.  "Bulbasaur!"

"PIkachu!"  Ash's Pokemon advanced on the two Nidorans.  The male jumped 
in front and rushed at Pikachu.  Pikachu leapt out of the way and shot a 
blast of lightning at him.  Nidoran dodged and tackled Pikachu to the 
ground.  

"Bulbasaur, Razor Leaf attack!"  Ash commanded.  Bulbasaur complied, 
filling the air with deadly foliage.  Nidoran female(Author's note:  
>From here on, the Female Nidoran will be refered to as Nido-chan.)  
avoided the majority of the leaves, but still recieved quite a few cuts.  
Nido-chan dashed forward and rammed Bulbasaur with her horn.  Bulbasaur 
was knocked off its feet, but got up and shook it off.  "Pikachu, Quick 
Attack!"  "Pikapika..."  Pikachu ran forward, moving almost too fast to 
be seen.  "...Chu!"  It struck Nidoran with 
a flurry of hits as it ran by him.  

"Alright!"  Ash cheered.  "Now, Bulbasaur!  Leech Seed!"  A large seed 
popped out of the bulb on the pokemon's back.  It shot forward, landing 
on Nido -chan's shoulder.  The seed sprouted into a tangle of vines that 
started to drain the energy from her.  Ash pulled a Pokeball from his 
belt and threw it. "PokeBall, Go!"  The ball struck the Nidoran, drawing 
her in, and trying to contain her.  The ball rocked violently back and 
forth as the Nidoran tried to escape.  

Bulbasaur walked over to inspect the ball as it jerked back and forth.  
It had never seen a Pokemon fight the ball like this, not even Primeape.  
"Bulba..."

Ash's attention was drawn as a cry from Pikachu alerted him.  Nidoran 
was easily avoiding Pikachu's attacks, and was dancing around it's 
Thundershocks. Nidoran looked over and saw that Nido-chan was still 
caught in the PokeBall. his eyes seemed to glow red for a second, then 
it rushed at Bulbasaur in a rage.  "Nidoraaaaaan!"  Its claws seemed to 
blur as it attacked the Pokemon with a vengeance.  

"Bulbasaur, Return!"  Ash cried, sending the wounded Grass Pokemon back 
to it's PokeBall.  "Pikachu, Thunder!"  "Pika... CHUUUUUUUU!!!"  The 
small rodent released a HUGE bolt of electricity that hit Nidoran dead 
on.  He fell down, but got back to his feet, a blue aura forming around 
it.

Nidoran brought his tiny paws together.  "Nido Nidoran!"  A ball of 
energy formed between his paws and shot out, hitting Pikachu.  

Misty was shocked.  "How could a wild Pokemon learn an attack like 
that?"

Ash ran over to Pikachu's side.  "Pikachu, are you alright!"  "Pika..."  
Pikachu answered weakly, waving him off.  "Pikapi!  Pika pika!"  Pikachu 
pointed towards Nidoran as he picked up the PokeBall containing the 
still-fighting Female.  "Pidgeot, stop him!"  Ash cried, tossing out 
another PokeBall.  Pidgeot swooped on the small Pokemon, knocking him to 
the ground.  "Pidgeot, Razor Wind!"  Pidgeot furiously flapped its 
wings, then sent a cutting blast out that seriously injured Nidoran.  

Nidoran got back up and charged at Pidgeot, jumping up and blasting it 
with a jump-kick to the face.  He ran back to the PokeBall and started 
yelling at it.  Soon, the PokeBall burst open and Nido-chan came out.  
she squeaked something back and kicked the male high into the air.  
Unfortunately, this left her wide open for Pikachu's Thunderbolt.  Ash 
tossed the ball again, and waited anxiously as the ball rocked 
violently.  

"Man,"  Brock said, "She's still fighting!"

"These Pokemon are tough."  Ash replied.  Finally, the ball stopped 
moving and the button light died out.  "YES!"  Ash cried, scooping up 
the ball.  "I caught Nidoran!"  

He was so happy, he didn't notice the falling Nidoran until he landed on 
his head.  "Ow!"  He pulled out another PokeBall and captured the 
unconcious male.  "And that makes two!"  

*************************************************************

Later that day, the trio(four, if you count Pikachu) arrived in the 
Nerima district in Tokyo for their first Gym battle, the Tendo Dojo.  
The Gym was pretty small, as far as Pokemon gyms go, and was shaped like 
a Martial Arts Dojo.  Next to it was a fairly large house that seemed to 
have quite a few patches in the roof.  Oddly, Ash noted, if you looked 
close enough, some of the patches looked roughly man-shaped.  

Ash entered the Gym and looked around.  In one of the large side rooms, 
a young boy wearing a large spatula on his back moved through a complex 
kata in front of a group of trainers and their Pokemon.  Next to him, a 
Kangaskhan mimiced his moves perfectly.  Ash noticed that the Kangaskhan 
also had a large spatula strapped to her back.  

Brock noticed somethig else.  "Why is she disguised as a boy?"  

The head trainer looked up.  "Hey, you three with the Pikachu!  Quit 
hiding in the doorway and come out.  I won't bite."  "Kangas!"  "She 
might though, if I tell her to."  The trainer rubbed the Pokemon's head 
affectonately.

Brock nearly stumbled through the door.  "H-Hello, miss!  I'm Brock, 
pleased to meet you!"

The trainer blinked.  "How could you tell that I'm a girl?"  

"Don't mind him,"  Misty groaned, "Brock can tell a girl a mile away."

"Sometimes it's the only way we could find a town!"  Ash quipped.

The trainer smiled.  "Well, hello Brock.  I'm Kuonji Ukyo.  Who are your 
friends?"  

"Hi."  Ash said.  "I'm Ash!"

"And I'm Misty."

"Well then, welcome to the Tendo Dojo and Pokemon Gym.  What can I do to 
help you?"  

"I'm here to challenge you for a badge!"  Ash replied.

Ukyo chuckled.  "Honey, you've got the wrong trainer.  I'm just one of 
the Junior Trainers, You want Ranma and Akane."

"You have two leaders?"

"And you gotta beat them both to get the badge.  Ranchan only lets the 
best trainers walk away from here with one of our badges.  Or should 
that be limp?  Unfortunately, They're not here right now.  His father 
took them off on a training trip.  The good news is, they're due back 
any time today!"

A voice called out from the front.  "Everyone, I'm home!"  a pretty 
young woman in her early twenties stepped into the gym.  "Oh my, we have 
visitors!" The Chansey standing behind her waved cheerfully.  "Chansey!"

"Good afternoon, Kasumi, Chansey."  Ukyo waved back, "We got someone who 
wants to challenge Ranchan and Akane for a Badge, so they'll be staying 
around until they get back."  

"So, Kid."  Ukyo continued, turning to Ash, "If you want to face Ranma, 
you have to take me on first.  Let's go to the Arena!"  

Ukyo and Kasumi led the group to another room, where a redheaded girl 
was practicing attacks with her Machop.  She was about the same age as 
Misty, but was much more... built.  The most amazing thing to Ash was 
the fact that she was training her Pokemon by fighting it herself.  The 
two of them were trading punches, kicks, and blocks.  

"Hey, Ranko!"  Ukyo called, "We got a challenger!"

Ranko stopped, which opened her for a Mega Kick to the back.  She 
angrily turned and punted her Pokemon into the rafters.  "I said, NO 
CHEAP SHOTS!"

"Hey!"  Ash cried, "Don't treat your Pokemon like that!"

"Mind your own business!"  Ranko snapped.  Suddenly, Machop dropped down 
on top of her, but she stopped the attack with a single finger.  Machop 
dropped towards the ground, but Ranko caught it and cradled it in one 
arm.  "Besides, no self-respecting Pokemon Trainer would really hurt her 
Pokemon.  Ain't that right, Machop?"  "Machop!"  her Pokemon agreed.  Of 
course, if certain Pokemon would _listen_ to their trainers," she 
continued, giving her Machop a soft rap on the head, "They wouldn't get 
kicked around so much!"  She pulled a potion 
out of her pocket and gave it to Machop, who drank it eagerly.  "Now, 
what was that about a challenger?"  

"Ash here wants to challenge Ranchan for a badge,"  Ukyo replied, "so I 
thought you might want to keep him busy."

Ranko looked Ash and Pikachu over.  "Kinda scrawny, but I think we can 
whip them into shape."  

"What?" "Pika!"

"Well?  Come on, prove yourself!"  Ranko taunted, setting Machop down.  
"Machop just got warmed up, let's go!"

"I'll show you who's Pokemon is scrawny!  Wartortle, I choose you!"

The two Pokemon faced off on the training floor.  

"Wartortle, Water Gun!"  Wartortle spat out a high-pressure blast of 
water, but Machop sidestepped the attack and ran in under Wartortle's 
range.

"Low Kick!"  Ranko cried.  Machop went into a slide, lashing it's foot 
out and tripping Wartortle.  Wartortle dropped to the ground, stunned.  
"Now, a Seismic Toss!"  Machop picked Wartortle up and jumped towards 
the roof, then hurled the Pokemon to the floor.  

"C'mon, Wartortle!  Ash cried, "Show him what you can do! Bubblebeam!"

"WAR!"  Wartortle cried.  It's eyes glowed a deep aqua and it opened its 
mouth. a beam of blue light, surrounded by bubbles of various sizes, 
struck Machop in the shoulder as it tried to dodge.  

Machop, covered in a layer of sticky foam that hindered it's movements 
somewhat, managed to close in to Wartortle and get behind it.  Machop 
grabbed Wartortle in Submission hold, but the turtle's struggles ended 
up hurting Machop almost as much as Wartortle.  

The two Pokemon threw each other away and faced each other.  Wartortle 
was definitely looking worse for wear, and even Machop was showing some 
serious stress.

"Finish 'em off, Machop!"  Ranko commanded.  

"Here he comes, Wartortle!"  Ash warned, "Keep your head down!"

Machop came around with a Mega Kick, but Wartortle ducked it's head into 
it's shell.  Machop tried another kick, but Wartortle bent over and it's 
head shot out, hitting Machop squarely in the stomach and knocking it 
into the wall.  Machop slumped to the floor, unconsious.

"Damn!  Machop, return!"  Ranko fumed for a moment, than calmed down and 
turned to Ash.  "Alright, ya won.  Not bad, for a boy."

Ash smirked.  "I beat you, didn't I?"

"Don't get cocky, kid."  Ukyo said, "You fight me next.  Two Pokemon 
each, no switching out during the match."

"I'm ready!"  Ash said.

"Win this and I'll cook dinner for all three of you.  Kangaskhan, Let's 
go!" Ukyo tossed her ball out, and the large Pokemon sprang out.  
Kangaskhan pulled the spatula off her back and tossed it to the side.  
"Kangas..."  

"Khan!" the baby in her pouch finished.  

One of the PokeBalls on Ash's belt suddenly dropped to the ground and 
opened.  Ash jumped back as a large, Dragon-like creature materialized.  
"Charizard!  what are you doing!"

"CHAR!"  It roared.

Ash shook his head.  Ever since that incedent with the Aerodactyl in 
that cave, when Charmeleon evolved, Charizard had been one of his most 
troublesome Pokemon.  For a time, it was completely uncontrollable, only 
fighting when it wanted to, wether Ash needed him or not.  Charizard had 
calmed down considerably since then, but would still burst out when it 
sensed a strong Pokemon it wanted to fight.  Alright, You can take her 
on, but next time, don't come out unless I say so!"

Charizard nodded, but Ash noticed a look in it's eyes that seemed to 
say, "We'll see..."  It turned to the larger Kangaskhan and snarled.  
Kangaskhan growled back, and without waiting for a signal, both monsters 
charged.  They collided with an impact that nearly shook the room.  
Charizard stepped back and whipped it's tail around, burning Embers 
flinging off of it.  Kangaskhan fought through and clocked Charizard 
with a Mega Punch to the chest.  She tried to follow through with a Tail 
Whip, but Charizard ducked and shot her in the face with a Flamethrower 
attack.  

Ash and Ukyo stared as their Pokemon battled without any guidance.  Both 
Charizard and Kangaskhan seemed to naturally dislike each other.  

Kangaskhan steeled herself, then swatted Charizard with her tail.  She 
then hit it with a flurry of Comet Punches to the jaw.  Charizard 
Slashed her across the face with it's claws, and showered her with 
Embers.  

"Time to finish this, Charizard!"  Ash cried.

"End it, Kangaskhan!"  Ukyo commanded.

"Fire Blast!"

"Thunder Attack!"

Charizard drew in a great breath as Kangaskhan in her child built up 
electrical energy.  They released at the exact same time, and their 
attacks slammed into each other.  Kangaskhan was engulfed in a gout of 
ultrahot flames while Charizard found itself on the recieving end of a 
lightning bolt that would've made a Zapados proud.  

After the attacks finally subsided, There was a pregnant silence as the 
two Pokemon stood perfectly still, like a pair of scorched, blackened 
statues.  A full minute later, both of them fell backwards with a crash.  
The baby Kangaskhan coughed out a tiny puff of smoke.  

"I guess... that makes it a draw then."  Misty said finally.

Ukyo and Ash blinked.  Twice.

"Okay,"  Ukyo said, recovering. "for my next Pokemon, I pick 
Charmander!"

"I can beat that!"  Ash said confidently, "Nidoran Female, GO!"  

Nido-chan popped out of the ball and skidded to a halt.  She looked at 
her opponent, and then her surroundings.  Her face lit up as she looked 
around.  When her eyes came upon Ukyo, she squealed and ran towards her, 
stepping off  Charmander's head, and leaping into her arms.  Another 
ball dropped from Ash's waist, and Nido-chan jumped out of Ukyo's arms.  

"Hey!"  Ash protested, "What's going on here?  Those aren't your 
Nidorans, are they?"  

"No."  Ukyo replied as Nido-chan released the Male from the other 
PokeBall.  "There aren't any Nidorans anywhere near Tokyo!"  

The Nidorans chattered among themselves for a moment, then ran out of 
the arena.  The group followed them, and got outside to see evidence 
that the Nidorans had just burst through the door to the Tendo's house.  
When they reached the sitting room, they heard the sounds of a commotion 
upstairs.  

As Ash reached the steps, a boy and a girl both came down the stairs.  
They were both around Ukyo's age.  The boy was wearing a dark green 
Chinese shirt and black pants, while the girl was wearing a blue blouse 
with a yellow skirt.

"We're home." the boy said sadly.

"Ranchan?"  Ukyo asked.

"You're Ranma?"  Ash added.

"Yeah,"  Ranma replied. "I'm Ranma Saotome, and this is Akane Tendo."

"Sorry about this..."  Akane said weakly.

======================================================================

Just a slight, but Important change.  Once again, C&C would be greatly 
appreciated.

Stupid Question:  Should I have Tarou fall into the Spring of Drowned
