-Kokiri Forest, Hyrule
"Hey! Wake up! Hey, Ranma!"
Nabiki rested her hands on her hips, frowning. "RANMA!"
Ranma didn't move or give a sign that he had heard her, but continued to snore away.
"Can the fate of the world really depend on such a lazy boy?" Nabiki fluttered down and landed on his nose, cocking her fist back.
"WAKE UP, STUPID!" She drove her fist right between his eyes with a satisfying little fleshy sound.
"..and still nothing!" Nabiki sat down, frowning.
"Why..won't you..wake up?" She went to his ear with a flick of her wings, landing on the lobe.
"Okay then, time for hardball. RANMA, WAKE UP! IT'S TIME TO GET OUT OF BED!" Ranma turned over, opening and closing his mouth a few times, but didn't seem to be waking up.
"Okay, that's it." Nabiki took her tiny ray gun from it's holster, scowling at the prone form of the boy. Taking careful aim at the ear lobe she was standing on, she leaned closer to the hole in the side of ranma's head.
"You asked for it, sleeping beauty." She squeezed the trigger, sending the tiny blue beam into the soft flesh. It burned a pinhole in the tissue, with a bit of burning skin smell. She expect him to leap out of bed, screaming in pain. She obviously didn't know Ranma too well.
"What the hell?! How can he sleep through that?" She tucked away her weapon, numb. "Is he even alive? Maybe he's in a coma.. Ah, forget it. I'll go ask the Great Deku Tree for some caffeine pills or something after breakfast."
Ranma sat up with a start, looking around wildly. "Breakfast! Where's the breakfast?" Here he paused, looking around. "What the... Where am I?"
Nabiki fluttered between his eyes, examining her nails. "Yeah, hey. I'm Nabiki. The Great Deku Tree sent me to bring you to him, or something like that."
Ranma looked down his nose at her. "Nabiki? Why're ya so small? And why d'you have wings?"
Nabiki slapped her forehead, closing hers eyes in frustration. "I'm a fairy, you moron. Now let's go, we're in a hurry." She flew to the door and out, muttering to herself.
"...Fairy?" Ranma followed her, noting that he seemed to have been sleeping in a small wooden room. He shielded his eyes from the sunlight as he stepped through the curtain, and gasped when he saw where he was.
It was a huge clearing in the middle of a forest, and as Ranma looked out into the trees, all he saw was more trees. The few trees that seemed to have been growing in the clearing had been chopped down, and the trunks hollowed out to make homes. The sprigs sprouting from the tops of most of the 'tree houses' were evidence that even though they had been cut down, they still lived.
"Yahoo! Hi, Ran-chan!"
Ranma hopped over the tiny fence around the balcony he was on and to the ground, turning to greet whoever it was that had been bouncing down the path.
"Ucchan! Man, it's good to see something...normal.." Ranma's brow furrowed. Was it his imagination, or did Ukyo's hair have a green tinge?
Ukyo giggled, then noticed the miniture girl sitting on his shoulder. "Wow! A fairy!! Fianlly, a fairy came to you, Ranma! Wow! That's great news! I'm so happy for you! Now you're a true Kokiri, sugar!"
Nabiki massaged her temples, eyes squeezed shut. "Ukyo, Ranma's been summoned by the Great Deku Tree. We're kind of in a hurry."
Ukyo's eyes went wide, and she took a step back. "The Great Deku Tree summoned Ranma? That's terrific news! Go, hurry, if you're late he might get grumpy and eat you!"
Ranma suddenly didn't seem too eager to go, but Nabiki tugged him along, defying physics with her fairy magic. Before long, they came to a tunnel being blocked by a young man in a what seemed to be a short, green kendo outfit. "Halt! No knaves allowed!"
"Kuno?" Ranma took a step forward. "What're you doing here?"
Kuno stood strait, obviously trying to make himself look better than Ranma. "I have to guard the entrance to the Deku Tree's meadow."
"C'mon, Kuno, let me pass! If I'm gonna figure out what the heck is going on here, I hafta go see this Deku guy! I'm not really in the mood, but I'll fight ya if ya don't move outta my way!"
Kuno shifted his weight and leaned on his bokken, smirking at Ranma. "As much as I'd enjoy fighting you, Saotome, you still can't pass without proper protection. The Great Deku Tree ordered me to block the passage of anyone who didn't have a Pokémon, no exceptions."
Nabiki slapped her forehead. "How could I forget? Ranma, we have to get you a Pokémon. Let's go." She tugged him in the direction of the Forest Training Center.
"What's a Pokémon? Where're ya taking me to?"
Nabiki stopped and pointed at a small fenced-in area. "We're here. Just crawl through a tiny hole in the wall ahead."
Ranma jumped and fence and approached the hole. It was at ground level, abount two feet in diameter. "No problem!" He flopped down and wriggled through like a snake.
Nabiki joined him on the other side and came to rest on his shoulder. "It's said that whoever can pass the trial of Zé Hole will be granted a powerful Pokémon."
"Oh yeah? And what's this trial stuff all about?"
"Well, I'm not certain. Let's go see." Nabiki rode on Ranma's shoulder as he moved through the narrow passages, filing her nails. Ranma stopped abruptly, causing her to scrape her wrist.
"Hey! What's the big idea!"
Ranma pointed ahead, where large, brightly colored objetcs whizzed back and fourth.
Nabiki flew to a heap of something green on the floor. There was a piece of parchment next to it, which she picked up. "It says 'deposit Frog Suit in basket at other side of road'. Frog Suit?"
Ranma picked up the green heap, which folded out to reveal that it was, in fact, a green rubber frog suit. Nabiki frowned, poking at the rubber. "Hey, this is fro Mario III, not Zelda..."
Ranma blinked and looked down at her. "Huh?"
"Nothing! Nothing, forget what I said! Say, is this thing heavy?"
Ranma bunched it up in his arms, holding it to his chest. "No, but if I'm holding it, I can't see where I'm going!"
"I guess you'll have to wear it, then."
Ranma hung his head and folded out the suit. "I don't even know why I'm doing this..."
-Three minutes later
Ranma flexed his biceps, grinning. "This thing's pretty cool. It feels all springy! I just won't put the mask part on, won't be able to see."
Nabiki crossed her arms, looking him over. "Looks good from where I'm floating. Ahem. Now, you need to get across this thing." She pointed over her shoulder at the speeding objects. "I'll watch from above to make sure you don't get squashed."
As Nabiki flew to the ceiling, she noted that from above, Ranma really did look like a frog.
Ranma leapt forward, landing between two of the things, before springing off again. It was difficult, but he quickly got used to moving in the frog suit.
"Ranma! Look out!" Nabiki screamed, watching as Ranma was nearly crushed by an object right before he reached the other side.
Ranma came out of his springing roll, panting. That thing had nearly killed him! He took off the Frog Suit as Nabiki came down.
"Okay, now put it in that basket over there." She said, pointing down the hallway. Ranma walked down the to the green basket, which was labled 'Mamu', and dropped the frog suit in. As he did so, a red light shone on a pedestal, and a booming voice echoed through the room.
"Thank you! Now I have my costume for the concert! As a reward, you get one of the three Pokémon before you!" The green basket shimmered and vanished, and the red light faded.
Ranma approached the pedestal, which had three red and white balls on it. On the wall behind each of the balls was a small poster, obviously describing the Pokémon. Ranma leaned closer to read them.
"Larvitar. Rock Skin Pokémon. Rock-type." He looked at the squat green creature pictured on the poster before turning to the next. "Natu. Little Bird Pokémon. Psychic and Flying-types." The bird on the poster appeared to be a ball with wings and beak attached. His eyes lit to the next poster. It showed a creature that looked rather like a skinny boy with a strange skin color. "Tyrogue. Scuffle Pokémon. Fighting type."
Ranma looked down at the ball before him, then hesitantly picked it up. "I, uh, I guess I choose Tyrogue..."
=Author's notes= Fixed the Frogger scene. You're all getting the general idea of what's going on now, right? It's the Zelda universe, with Ranma characters, and...Pokémon. Heh. The reason I involved Pokémon is because I couldn't think of a way for Ranma to fight the bosses. He would beat them too easily. I had to think of a battle system that would keep him from using his own strength. That, and it's way easier to make Pokémon fight. Send questions/comments to Youindia@aol.com. Flames should be posted in the review, that way people will read the bad review, then read the story for themselves, and feel sorry for all the people being mean to me. Mmmmm, delicious sympathy. Oh, and if you're going to put a flame in my inbox, lable it 'flame' or 'free viagra' so I'll know to delete it. Make sure to tune in next time for Akane no Densetsu: Toki no Saidzuchi.
