When the Cat's away.

Chapter 1 (PG Rating)

By KoalaKiller Version 1.0

The sound of waves breaking on the shore and the heavy smell of seawater filled the Pokemon's senese as it gazed at the approaching sunrise. The humanoid figure slowly looked with both its mind and eyes for the new presence that it sensed not but 5 minutes ago.

The creature's search though didn't last long as it suddenly halted in mid- air while it heard a mental call.

(Excellent, I was afraid for a moment we might have had hostile visitors once more.)

A short pause before a sudden flash as the creature was now hovering above a small pinkish-white animal that its Mother had found.

(How interesting), it mentally noted to the small Pokemon hovering besides him, (I do believe this isn't a Pokemon from the odd readings I'm receiving from it.)

Its Mother, a small creature that gave a sense of great age, sent another mental message.

(Its surface thoughts are odd too, they remind me of humans. How curious.)

The larger creature seemed to stare hard at the sleeping animal before it, then suddenly without warning the Pokemon sharply hovered back in surprise.

Its companion was curious about that reaction and decided to do its own deeper probe of the creature that shared a form similar to its own.

And it as well, was shocked as she found out more of their unexpected visitor.

(Unbelievable, I would have never thought it possible for this little one to be a cursed human), said the larger Pokemon.

"Mew." The smaller Pokemon floated down next to the unconscious animal, giving it a better up close expection.

(I do believe she will wake soon, so lets move her to our home.) The larger Pokemon waved its claw at the creature and suddenly it vanished, making the smaller Pokemon float back up to the other Pokemon's level.

"Mew." She said, swishing her tail around.

(Yes, it seems the fates have once more want to test me in how I will handle this situation.)

With that said, the two vanished as well in a flash as dawn slowly broke.

* * * *

Yawning as consciousness returned, the purple haired girl slowly woke from a restless sleep, her mind not fully active as she ignored her current surroundings.

"Mmmm." As the girl started to stretch, but suddenly stopped when.

"Pika?"

"Aiyaah?"

Finally snapping awake with a start, the girl sprang into a ready crouching position, staring at a strange yellow creature that she didn't recognise.

"Where Shampoo, where Ranma, Where Demon Master!" the girl demanded to no- one in general, for now ignoring the little animal before her. That same animal just looked up and seemed confused, but she just continued look around the room she was currently in and wondered where she was, how she got here and when did she change back.

(I believe I can answer some of those questions, but how it is possible for you to be here, that would need me to have your permission to do a proper mind probe since I dislke having to deep scan minds without consent.)

"Hiyaa! Why there voice now in Shampoo head, did Pervert Master do something to Shampoo? And where is everyone?"

(No young one), the voice answered and from out of no where two alien things appeared before her, one was small, feline like while the other she had a hard time describing but it too had a feline image.

"Ai-aiya." She said in dismay, her senses screaming at her to NOT piss off these things before her.

(Do not be afraid, warrior, myself and my fellow kind will not hurt you in any way, in fact we would like to see if we can help you.)

"Help Shampoo? But why help Shampoo, She no even know where she is." Her memory of events had been slowly coming back to her and this bad feeling that something wrong had happened to her after she had pushed her beloved away from whatever the old Pervert was casting.

(I am afraid that you are far from home, young one, from what memories I briefly accessed from my probe, it seems this 'Master' has sent you to our world-.)

"World?" The purple-haired Amazon blinked.

(Yes. It seems that this aging human used something that you could call 'magic', to send you to another world. I am sorry to have to inform you of this but for now you are stranded here and we cannot send you back currently.)

"Shampoo on other world, but, but." Her mind failed to process this information for some moments, before mumbling.

"Shampoo then saved Ranma from old pervert." She paused, "but now Shampoo lost in other world, Aiyaaaah." Suddenly a depressing feeling came over her heart. How would she get home?

(Do not worry, young warrior, we will help.)

Looking up at the strange human shaped animal before her, Shampoo's reddish- brown eyes scanned both of the feline looking things, but suddenly she felt something tug on her pants.

Pants? Where did those come from? She thought but then as she looked down she saw that little yellow animal from earlier. It looked back up at her in concern and for some reason Shampoo had the strong urge to pick it up and hug it close to her chest.

(That is my friend Pikachu, the voice said which she gathered came from the larger feline creature. If you wish to know, that is an electic-type Pocket Monster, or for short Pokemon.)

"Poke-mon? A Pi-ka-chu?" she blinked at the strange, but cute yellow thing.

"Pika, pike!" It nodded its head, looking up at her with excitement.

"Aiyah, it cute."

(Indeed, human females tend to say that about this species though this type of Pokemon can give you a nasty shock if you're not careful.)

"Hiyaaaa." Shampoo smiled nerviously at that comment.

(Well then, since things are calming down, lets move out from this room and into the main chamber so we can discuss the situation that you have by mistake placed yourself in.)

Hearing this and with the knowledge now that she wasn't where she was suppose to be, Shampoo's shoulders slumped. But moments later, she felt a small, warm furry thing jump onto her shoulder and looked to see that this thing called a Pikachu had hopped onto her like she might do when in Neko form.

(Come young one, and follow us so we can maybe find a solution to this puzzle.)

"Mew!"

(And yes, I believe Mew is right, you must keep your mind positive since I sense great power in you that most humans in this world lack. So show us your strength and hope that we can send you home.)

Looking back up at the now departing 'Pokemon', Shampoo thought briefly on what this creature had said and nodded to herself. Yes, she must remain strong, Amazons do not give up. She hadn't given up on her challenges so far in Japan, and no way would she now knowing that her Great-grandmother would be most disappointed in her.

So forcing the growing depressing feelings back as far as she could, the Amazon Champion followed the weird creatures called Pokemon out of the room she had woken up in, while the small Pokemon called Pikachu rode on her shoulder.

* * * *

Meanwhile,

In Nerima, where Shampoo had been calling home for the last year or so, the infamous group called the Nerina Wrecking Crew was currently beating down a dirty old pervert.

"Where is she, old fart! WHERE IS SHE!!!" Shouted Ranma into the face of the founder of the School of Anything-Goes Martial Arts.

"I..I." the old Master babbled, true fear gripping his aging heart as he had realised that the events not long maybe had sealed his death.

"You're a dead man once the old woman finds out that you sent her great- granddaughter to other world, and that you have no way of accessing again." Growled the girl with huge spatula.

"God, I can't believe this is happening," muttered Akane Tendou, who was still staring at the place where her long-time rival had vanished, "Cologne is going to go nuts over this, and I doubt even the Amazons will have the means to find Shampoo."

Ryouga remained silent, not knowing what to do or say as he watched Ranma try and choke the old fool.

"Once Mousse returns with Cologne, I'm out of here." Grumbled Ukyo, "no way in hell I'm going to be around her when she gets here."

Akane said nothing to that, only listened to the racket Ranma and Happosai was making.

"Its usually Ranma-honey that gets into these situations, not Shampoo." Ukyo was still stunned by the act the purple-haired Amazon had done, saving Ranma from being sent to who knows where. And this all had to happen because the old coat was upset with Ranma and what he had said earlier that day.

It was some minutes later when finally the group felt a flaring aura, and knew that Cologne was arriving any moment.

And so, as Mousse stepped into the clearing follow by the old Amazon leader, everyone turned their attention to her as they heard the old woman speak softly.

"Where have you taken my dear Shampoo, Happy?"

End Notes:
Man its been YONKS since I've written anything with cute fuzzy critters in my fics. So what did you think? Is it worth it to continue on? Does anyone out there want to see Shampoo in a starring role for once? Do you want to see our Chinese cutie kick Rocket Den ass?

Well if so, reviews would be great and any suggestions and ideas wouldn't hurt either.
