Chapter 1: Journey begins
Somewhere in an alternate universe
A boy with jet black hair styled into a ponytail. His eyes were a deep blue color filled with determination. He wears a martial arts gi performing a unique yet adaptable ariel style of the art.
The boy is currently sparring with a middle-aged man around his mid-thirties. He too, like the boy wore a white gi with round glasses tied by his ears and a bandana obscuring his bald head.
The spar between the boy and bald man took up, continuing the fight mid-air. It looked like they were in a stalemate as they continued their assault and dodge and outmaneuvering each other's attacks. The fight went on for a few more moments before it ended with the older man managing to deliver a solid downward chop as the boy land lying on his stomach with a thud. Soon enough, the bald man lands effortlessly on his two feet, arms crossed with a stern expression on his face.
"Hmm... Well, you're improving at least. But it won't be enough boy. Remember that." The man said looking down on the boy. This was Genma. Genma Saotome. Master of the Saotome School of Anything Goes Martial Arts.
Groan* " 'Kay Pop." Said boy groaned in pain in response. The youth was Ranma Saotome. His son and heir to the Saotome branch of Anything Goes.
The boy and father were on a training trip across Japan and soon China. Genma's goal was to train his son to be the best martial artist and a Man among men.
Ranma slowly got up and decided to take a walkout in the woods. Meanwhile, his father was getting dinner ready. They were currently in China, nearing a supposed ancient training ground in the Bayankala Mountain range.
The boy walked through the mountain range. Ranma's can be a bit too confident, always eager to learn something new related to martial arts, and may slowly become a bit sexist. Genma was never really a great parent not was even a decent one in the least. No. Genma in actuality was a gluttonous, greedy, lying, and the most terrible father or parent one may unfortunately have.
Genma has sold his own son to many engagements to various houses, and clans. He has even taken advantage of the hospitality of many shrines and holy temples from Japan to China for either food, free dowries, steal, or both. But one of his worst deeds was making his son sign a seppuku pledge when he was two, stating that if he doesn't become a Man Amongst Men he and his son would commit honorary suicide in order to secure family honor. And he has subjected his son through the Nekoken training by wrapping him in fish sausages and throwing him in a pit of starving cats. Ranma soon develop a fear towards cats and the training left him scarred.
Ranma would be lying if he said he didn't hate his father. But, he knew deep down that he cares about him somewhat. Ranma wouldn't admit it out loud, but he was lonely. No one to really talk to since his best friend Ukyo, whom he nicknamed Ucchan. He just wished he could a friend right now and possibly some adventure of some kind. Little did he knew his wish would come true.
As he continued, he suddenly saw a flash of light in the distance. Curious, Ranma beads to the source and finds himself in front of a cave. He entered through looking around until his eyes caught sight of something.
He came closer and saw an egg with orange spots all around it. Ranma just watched the egg with fascination. But, the egg wasn't the only thing he found as right next to the egg was a strange ball with the top of it red, while the bottom of it was white. A black horizontal band circling around it and a light gray button in front of the center.
Ranma was indeed fascinated by the egg and strange ball and decided to take them both. However, he was more interested in the egg, wondering what was inside.
'I wonder what's inside? Why do I feel like there's something great is gonna come?' Ranma mused.
Upon arriving he put the egg away and sat down as he and his father begin chowing down on their food, all the while preventing his father from stealing his food. This was claimed by his father to be part of his son's "training" as he put it. Ranma would know better to believe him.
Before, the young martial artist would've believed him if not for the monks they met from all the shrines and temples. The monk knew Ranma was nothing like his father and some of them were even horrified that he put him through something as horrible as the Nekoken and have decided to help the boy. They thought basic and essential knowledge such as math, proper speech, a few in science, a little bit of therapy, and some meditation techniques, all while hiding it from his father.
The monks learned that Ranma has just as much great potential for academics and such as much he is in the art. If only his father gave him more time in his education then he would've been a prodigy in both the art and academics. His father either dismissed it as useless or he knew it tried to keep him dumb so that he would stay dependant on his father to keep him under his control.
They soon finished their dinner as Ranma laid on his back with the egg beside him. For some reason, Ranma knew tomorrow would be a good day before he closed his eyes and rested for tomorrow. If only he knew.
The next day came and Ranma was waking up. He rubbed his eyes and got out to begin his usual daily routine. Get sneaked attacked and was thrown out of the tent to spar with his father which recently, with Ranma earning more wins over Genma overtime. Eat breakfast, train, explore, eat lunch, train, and practice katas, secretly go out to read and study a couple of books he was given by the monks and bought with little as yen as he could muster from his greedy ass father. The bastard. And finally, do whatever he wants.
Right now he had the egg from last night with him. He was just walking around the mountain range as he usually did. He and his father would soon reach the fabled training ground. The egg has been shaking quite a lot for most of the day. Probably gonna hatch soon, whatever it is.
Ranma soon finds himself in an open field as he put down the egg and sat beside it on the green surface. He looked at the egg and smile at it, until.
Suddenly, the egg starts to glow a bright light blue as it starts shaking violently. This made Ranma close his eyes before the it stopped glowing. Ranma slowly opened his eyes as the egg kept shaking. Cracks start forming from the top before spreading over the rest of the shell, until. *Crack* Came as whatever it is came out of his shell and revealed itself to the boy.
It was a small chick around 1'04" / 0.4 m with stubby, downy, yellow wings. Has two thin legs and a short beak in a light brownish yellow, and its feet have three toes in front and one in the back.
Its body covered with orange feathers. An orange and yellow crest on its head that resembles a flame. And has a small black speck on its rear.
Ranma, surprised by this, immediately got into a defensive stance. Being a bit wary of the creature before his eyes.
The first thing the chick like creature saw was Ranma before speaking for the first time. "Torchic!" It said. Ranma raised his brow, a little confused by this before slowing approaching it. The newly hatched chick just stared at the boy before him. It tilts it's head in wonder of what the boy was doing.
Ranma continued to approach the orange chick, with it slowing stepping it way towards the boy before they were now standing centimeters facing each other.
For about a minute or so in silence. Ranma slowly relaxed himself. He didn't know why, but, he somehow knew that it wasn't a threat as if he sensed it somehow. Strange. He then closed the gap between them.
Ranma knelt down to it s level and reach out his hand to it. The orange chick looked at the boy's hand for a five or six seconds before it met his hand with its head. Ranma grinned and began petting its head lightly.
"Heh. This actually feels nice. I wonder what you are though?" Ranma thought. The chick looked up at the boy as it spoke once more. "Torchic!" It said once to the ponytailed boy. Ranma just looked confused before realization hit him. "Your name's Torchic? Huh." Ranma asked. It nods back to him.
Ranma thought about its name a bit. It sounded like combination of torch and chick and although it sounds interesting he didn't really find it too good so he decided to come up with a better name for it. "Well it's interesting, but I think I can come up with something better. Whaddya say?" Torchic thought for a moment before it nodded. Ranma closed his eyes on what name to give it. He opened his eyes, only to be shocked to see a small flame come out of Torchic's breath.
Ranma was in disbelief at what he just saw the small chick do. Was he dreaming? He pinched himself to make sure he wasn't seeing things. "Ow!" Noped, not a dream. But his disbelief soon changed into excitement as thought it was cool. This gave him the best name to give the now known fire chick. "Hey Torchic, how about Blaze. How does that sound?" Torchic thought about it before it answered him. "Tor!" It said happily before nodding. Ranma grinned excitingly as he spread his arms wide open for a hug. The newly named Blaze ran towards Ranma before being enveloped in a warm hug. Ranma just smiled a warm smile as he looked down at Blaze knowing he made a knew friend in a long time. This was what he needed.
'Thanks for this... Blaze.' Ranma thought as he ended the hug before they ran off back to where his father was. The sun was already setting without them knowing. Guess time flies by Ranma thought.
This was only the beginning as the two only get stronger together. This is only the beginning of Ranma Saotome and Blaze the Torchic. This is PKMN Trainer Ranma!

A/N: Whoo! I Hope this was at least a decent first chapter for this brand new fanfic of mine. I really hoped you enjoyed this and if given spare time, Review and PM me please!
And now to answer a few things here:
Ranma may be slightly different here and may mature and develope overtime, alongside Blaze.
Blaze the Torchic is Ranma's first Pokemon. Though Ranma doesn't know what a Pokemon is yet.
Ranma has not yet captured Blaze with the Pokeball yet, but will soon.
Ranma will eventually end up in the Pokemon world. But I can't say when.
This is my very first Pokemon fanfic. Please no flames.
Ranma sensing that Blaze was not a threat is him sensing Blaze's Ki and will learn to use it later on.
I decided to have Ranma receive his curse earlier here than in canon, like I did at my first fanfic, The Wild Horse and his Demonic Doll.
Anyway, that's all I have to say for now. Your all free to ask me any questions if you want. See you all soon! SMG2 out!
