Ranma 1/2 belongs to Rumiko Takahashi, Pokemon belongs to Nintendo. So without further ado Montanto Studios proudly presents
Whose Dream Is It?
A Ranma/Pokemon Crossover
By Bill Morse
"Good night, Takshi!
Good night, Pikachu! Good night, Kasumi!" Satoshi said as he tucked
himself into his sleeping bag.
"Good night, Satoshi. Sleep
dreams." Kasumi sighed. It had been had been a grueling day. On their way
to the Indigo Plateau they had run into a fellow Pokemon trainer who had been
robbed of his badges by the Rocket Gang.
Kasumi put her hands under her head
as she looked at the sky. It was a beautiful clear night and the stars were
beautiful. "Out there in the quiet of the night," she whispered to
herself. She hummed to herself for a few minutes accompanied by the wind.
"Did you say something
Kasumi?" Satoshi asked.
"What? Me? No, I didn't
say anything, Goodnight," Kasumi blurted out. She stayed silent until she
drifted off to sleep.

Kasumi was awoken by the sound of
shouting and fighting. "Oh my, the Saotomes are up early today," she
said to herself as she got up and put on her wrapper. For a moment she paused
trying to remember the details of her dream. She shrugged and shook her head.
There were too many things to do today. If she hurried she just might be able
to get a quick bath in before she had to make breakfast.
Breakfast had gone well Ranma had
argued a little but no damage had been done. Ranma had managed to stay in one
gender until it was time for school. This was a relief for Kasumi. For some
reason Ranma's female form always gave her a disturbing case of deja vous.
Father had been a bit emotional about the fight after the two had gone to
school but he calmed down to play a game of shogi with Mr. Saotome.
Kasumi smiled as she watched the
two men play. She got them some tea and started her chores. Today this
consisted of doing the dishes, starting the laundry and feeding the koi.
Feeding the koi was one of her
favorite jobs. She loved watching the swirling colors as they darted around in
the water. And how they jumped into the air. More then once she had considered
putting some aquariums around the house. She reluctantly decided against it
when she realized with the constant activity in this house an aquarium was an accident
waiting to happen.
She was always amazed just how well
the koi endured the number of times the number of times the number of times
Ranma, his father, Ryouga and numerous others had fallen into the pond. The koi
seemed to embody a quote from Nietzche she had read once. I wonder if they will
evolve into something dangerous if this keeps up she wondered.
She covered her mouth to hide a
giggle. I wonder where that came from?
The rest of the day had been quite
uneventful. She had finished the laundry and gone shopping. Later in the
afternoon some friends of Shampoo had come and filled the bathroom with
flowers. Ranma had objected to this and had almost started a fight when Shampoo
had come to visit. Just once I wish she'd use the front door, Kasumi thought
looking at the hole in the bathroom wall.
The two girls had left with
Shampoo. Ranma had explained that they had drugged and kidnapped her. He and
Akane had gone to the Nekohaten to see if there was any way to help her.
Kasumi had spent the next few hours
cleaning up the mess in the bathroom. It really was no problem at all. Very few
people realized how relaxing a hobby masonry was.
Ranma and Akane didn't come home
for supper. Kasumi assumed it had something to do with the giant vines and
flowers that were currently covering Furinken high school so she didn't
bother setting places for them on the table.
Dinner was a quiet affair with
Nabiki, Father and Mr. Saotome. In the distance they could hear the rumble of
explosions coming from Furinken. Ranma would probably be home later in the
evening. She hoped it wouldn't take him too long to finish his battle. It
was a weeknight after all.
Kasumi felt tired after such a long
day and excused herself as soon as she finished cleaning up. She fell asleep
almost as soon as she went to bed.
* * * * * * * *
"Hey Kasumi, wake up, we don't
have all day," Satoshi shouted.
"You don't have to yell,
a girl needs her beauty sleep after all," Kasumi muttered rubbing her
eyes.
"Well if we let you have that
we'd be here forever. Come on, Takeshi found the road again!"
"Really? That's great! Lets
go!" Kasumi shouted getting out of her sleeping bag.
"Terrific we'll be at the
Indigo plateau in no time!" Satoshi beamed.
Kasumi smiled as she packed her
gear. It looked like it would be another great day.
