Superglue

Chapter 2

By Gabriel's Thoughts

There was a heavy downpour outside the Cerulean gym. The thunder roared as Daisy quickly went over the mail…she stopped when she came across a postcard addressed to Mysty with a "y". Quickly, Daisy flipped over the post card to read it out of curiosity. "To the fire haired nymph, bringing Ranma from Johto, … love blue thunder. who's Ranma?" Oh well, it probably wasn't important… blue thunder, where had she heard that name before. The name seemed familiar, but with her career as an actress slash super model she couldn't keep track of all the celebrities anymore. Still the hand writing was rather elegant, like that of a serial killer…oh dear, did Misty have a stalker. "Hey!" Daisy called out "Elle! Violet! Misty! You need to see this postcard I got from Peliper!"

Meanwhile….somewhere in the pouring rain.

"put me down! That rubber suit won't protect you forever!" The Pikachu screamed as he struggled to escape the grip of a large man wearing black rubber boots, black rubber pants, black rubber gloves, and a hooded black and white rubber jacket. As one would expect the sight of a man in a rubber suit wandering in the rain was not unusual, no matter how ridiculous the suit looked. No, what really caught peoples attention was the talking Pikachu.

" I beg to differ scoundrel. As a Kuno I am immune to pain… be thankful you are not in the charge of my sister." Tatewaki really should have used his wishes better. Already being smart, charming, wealthy and really good looking meant there really wasn't much he could wish for that he didn't already own. So he wished for the world's strongest Pokémon…that went well, a hissing, spitting, feral Pikachu arrived and nearly sliced him to ribbons with its energy claws. Clearly this was some undocumented attack Tatewaki was unfamiliar with. The rogue Pikachu wasn't in it's right mind as it tore through the Kuno mansion. With the greatest of ease, leaving nothing but devastation in it's wake, the pikachu caused the equivalent of 10,000 dollars worth of damage in ten seconds. It didn't help that the Pokémon was chasing Tatewaki in an unveiled effort to kill him or play with him. Using the sword to block the Pikachu's super powered fury swipes, Kuno was shocked as the sword collapsed into five pieces. Using his left arm to force the feral Pokemon away, Kuno had to think fast. Quickly kicking the Pikachu across the room, if the pikachu was playing with him before, he wasn't any longer. The look of rage on the Pikachu's face promised pain.

To say Kuno immediately regretted his decision to own the most powerful pokemon in the world…that's it! he only wished "for" the most powerful Pokémon in the world, not that he "owned" the most powerful Pokemon in the world. Hilt of the sword in hand Kuno made his second wish. Instantly an golden pokeball with the letters RS appeared in Tatewaki's hand. Sparks gathering, at his red cheek pouches the rouge pikachu leaped at Kuno only to be zapped inside the poké ball. Of course as anticlimactic as the situation was, Kuno used his third wish for a stylish indestructible rubber suit. There was no way he was going to pass up the opportunity to train the most powerful pokémon on earth.

"Achoo!" some time later the sopping wet Ranma sneezed. "you won't get away with this. Someone will come looking for me, and then you'll be sorry." Ranma, stopped struggling out of exhaustion…the truth was no one would be looking for him. Ranma and his father had parted ways when his father sold the "rare talking pikachu" for a bowl of rice two pickles and a fish. that Jerk. As a result of mixing magic the Jusenkeyo spring he had fallen into was one of the few permanent springs. He was trapped. worse, he belonged to a self important arrogant jackelope. And while he couldn't remember what triggered the neko ken afterwards, it wouldn't be long before Tatewaki would find a way to exploit his weakness.

"regardless of who owned you in your previous existence, Manganmaru has made you mine."was kuno's smug reply.

" Manganmaru…stupid wishing sword. " Ranma huffed.

"Why wail against fate? It is your destiny to serve me faithfully until… aha! We have arrived." sloshing to a stop in his stylish rubber boots before the cerulean gym, Tatewaki pulled back the hood of the panda slicker and rang the doorbell.
