## Biography

Akari Unryu was raised by her Grandfather, who she promised when he was dying that she would only date (and marry) someone who was strong enough to defeat her in battle. They also had to care as much about Pokemon as she herself did. This promise left Akari dateless because she had yet to meet anyone who could defeat her in battle or loved her pets with as much loyalty as she herself did. Because she can’t date Akari has focused all of her attention on Pokemon training. All the battles that she has had has helped to improve her skills and has moved her up in the world. It is for this reason that when a Gym was built in Nerima she was chosen to be its Leader.

As she was moving into Nerima Akari saw something that people in her line of work would never think of seeing. A Clefairy riding on the back of a Tauros and both of them having quite a pleasant conversation together. Observing this rare and strange sight, Akari believing that the two were wild pokemon decided to try and capture them as she didn’t have to be at the gym to get things started until the next day. Akari leapt out onto the dirt road the Tauros was walking on and challenged them. The Tauros paused in its walk to look at Akari with what appeared to be an irritated expression while the Clefairy looked almost bemused at her statement. After talking with each other the Clefairy leapt down and off of the Tauros back and walked towards Akari who blinked in surprise as she had been expecting to battle the Tauros.

Taking out her pokeball Akari chose Gyarados. When the huge form of the scaly Gyarados appeared in front of the Clefairy, the pink and cuddly creature didn't seem scared at all. In fact, the Clefairy smirked as it looked up at the towering figure before it. The Clefairy then cracked its knuckles and performed Metronome. Both Akari and the Gyarados were mesmerized by the prepatory movements of the move only to be brought oout of it when it was unleashed. Akari watched in horror as Gyarados went flying into the air only to land burned and charred in front of her seconds later. When she went to check up on Gyarados her Pokemon couldn't respond and only gave a weak groan and feeling the tears form in her eyes, Akari called him back into his pokeball and looked up at the Clefairy who was gazing at her sympathetically. This is when she finally noticed the wisdom and humanity in its eyes, causing her to realize that this was not an ordinary Clefairy.

Eyeing Akari for a long moment, the Clefairy called the Tauros over and began searching through a pack that Akari hadn't noticed on its back. She began to think that the two pokemon had trainers after all and the Clefairy was about to produce a picture of them. instead it pulled out a silver flask and when it poured the flasks contents on its head the Clefairy transformed into a naked Pantyhose Taro. Akari’s reaction was to faint right then and there.

When Akari woke up she saw Taro having put on a pair of turquoise colored silk Chinese style pants hovering over her with a concerned look on his face. She couldn't help but note that the once naked boy was drop dead gorgeous. Seeing that she was awake Taro formed a slow smile and asked if she was okay. Akari felt her heart race on seeing his smile and nervously said that she was fine. Remembering what happened she asked Taro how he transformed from a Clefairy. Taro explained Jusenkyo to her as well as the fact that because of it he could talk to Pokemon, like Akari he referred to them as his friends. He asked Akari if she was a trainer and was impressed when she told him that she was asked to be the new Nerima Pokemon gym leader.

This caused her to ask why Taro wasn’t a trainer as he obviously a talented one given his Tauros’s loyalty. Taro formed a frown and his features seemed to darken as he looked off into the distance. He told her that in order to join the Pokemon league he’d have to give his full name. Naturally Akari didn’t see the problem with that. Forgetting that they hadn’t actually introduced themselves to each other Taro became enraged at her insensitivity before dropping to his knees and sobbing. As he did so, the Tauros crossed to his side and began nuzzling him as it talked to him softly.

His cries quieting, Taro wiped his tears away and told Tarfo that he was okay as he knew what he had to to to make everything right. When Akari asked what it was he told her that he was going to have his name changed which is why he was heading to Nerima in the first place. He explained the laws of his tribe and Akari didn’t see why it would be that hard. However Taro was skeptical given his name he could only imagine the sort of person Happosai is. It was here that Akari finally asked Taro for his name. His stormy eyes locking on her own, Taro stared hard at Akari as he said his name in dark tones.

When they made to Nerima Taro was surprised at how mundane it seemed given all the stories about it being the source of all chaos comes from. Tauros pointed out that things aren’t always as they seem. Their conversation was interrupted by Akari releasing a high pitched and very panicked shriek. Whirling around to regard the girl, Taro clasped her on the shoulders and anxiously asked if she was okay. He was fearing the worse, but when Akari finally managed to stammer out that her panties were gone Taro could only wear a blank expression as his eyes got glazed. Once he finally regained his equilibrium he asked why her why would they be gone. Akari started to open her mouth to respond when she froze and her eyes went wider than before. Observing this, Taro turned around to see what caused this reaction. That was when he saw several thousand panties go whizzing past them and down what were once the formally quiet streets of Nerima. Upon seeing this, Taro was starting to understand just where all of the stories about this district came from.

Taro and Akari followed the horde of panties to Furinkan. While Akari wondered what was going on Taro just wanted to make sure whoever was responsible pay. Taro took off in a run towards the panties with a look of utter determination. Watching him depart, Akari's eyes went wide. Seeing him defend her Akari began to wonder if was the one her grandfather wanted her to wait for. Feeling the Tauros nudge at her waist, and seeing that he wanted to go after Taro Akari took off after Taro with Tauros running right behind her. Besides she should be the one to punish whoever took her panties. When she reached him she found that he wasn't the only one wanting her panties and a good dose of revenge on whoever was responsible for this.

When it turned out to be Happosai Taro whistled to gain the attention of all the people trying to figure out the proper form of revenge. Taro asked the group to hand Happosai over to him stating that he could punish him in a way that would make all of them happy as had more than just his panty thieving for wanting to do it. When Cologne asked what he planned on doing Taro formed a slow smile and activated his curse, they all watched as he turned a pink and cuddly creature that only one of them recognized immediately as a Clefairy. Ignoring their looks of wonder, the Clefairy walked over to where Happosai still lay in a crumpled heap and used metronome. The explosion that surrounded Happosai sent him flying high into the air only to land seconds later back inside of the now smoldering crater with a loud thud.

The Clefairy wore a smug smile as it hopped into the crater and produced a rope out of nowhere to tie the martial arts master up with. It then drug Happosai out of the crater and towards the amazed onlookers. Though anticlimantic everyone was happy Happosai got punished and it was fun to watch him get blown up. As everyone shared a laugh at this Kodachi noticed how Ranma was hiding behind her and shivering uncontrollably. When she asked him what was wrong he just stammered out Clefairy. On hearing its name Taro came over causing Ranma to scream in maniacally kawaii tones that were more than a bit frightening. That was when it was finally revealed. The secret technique and the secret shame of Saotome Ranma. Otherwise known as the legendary pokefist.

The others watched vaguely disturbed as Ranma chaseed after Taro through the Furinkan High front yard as she continued to shout 'Clefairy' in kawaii tones. Freaked out Taro bounded on top of the Tauros and the two of them went barreling off into the distance. Akari took after Taro wailing that he couldn’t leave her now that she finally found a boy who loves Pokemon as much as she did. This left Ranma alone and looking very morose before she to ran after them. She was eventually stopped by Ryoga and though she attempted to get around Ryoga and near Taro who was still sitting on the Tauros back. Both were standing in the yard, well away from Ranma, but Ryoga wouldn’t let her telling Ranma once again that just because she wants to play with other Pokemon doesn't mean they want to play with her. This was the sight the others saw when they finally caught up.

Ryoga asked the group if Ranma had caused any problems. Nabiki told him no but before she could say anything more she was abruptly cut off as Ranma made a sudden mad dash around Ryoga and pounced towards Taro whose eyes immediately went wide. It seemed like time froze as Taro raised his tiny hands into the air and used metronome. The blonde elf went flying high into the atmosphere and as she did, the Taro heaved a sigh of relief. Kodachi cried in panicked tones while she rushed out into the yard. She turned to glare at Taro only for Akari to appear in front of her blocking her path. She called Kodachi out for being made at Taro for protecting himself, but Kodachi wasn’t listening upset that Taro possibly injured her Ranma.

Fortunately or unfortunately, their would be battle was interrupted by Ranma landing square in the middle of the two girls with a thunderous crash. Kodachi quickly sprinted into the crater and cradled Ranma in her arms. By this point Taro was able to change back. He told Kodachi that Ranma should be fine as his metronome attack is fairly harmless against humans. While she had calmed down Kodachi still called Taro out for being so harsh on someone who obviously wasn’t in their right mind. Taro reluctantly agreed but Poke-Ranma was too kawaii even for him. Seeing that Ranma would be okay Kodachi demanded that Ryoga and Tatewaki explain what was going on.

Kodachi initially believed that Genma forced Ranma to learn the Pokefist. This offended Genma who was insulted that she’d think he'd make Ranma learn something as useless and stupid as the Pokefist! Stating that if he was going to have him learn a dangerous technique that psychologically scarred him then it would at least be a useful one. Ryoga was quick to point out that didn’t make Genma look good. Once Ryoga finished explaining the Pokefist and what it does there was another moment of silence before everyone broke out laughing. Well, everyone but Kodachi who was frowning severely at Ranma. Taro was the first to calm down and asked how they snap Ranma out of it not wanting her to chase him anymore. Sadly the only people who are able to snap Ranma out of the Pokefist are Atsuko and Nodoka. Genma begged Ryoga not to call them believing that he’d be spanked for jusenkyo.

This went on for several minutes before Nabiki finally grew tired of the odd almost conversation and then produced a mallet out of nowhere and hit Genma on the top of his head with it. Watching Genma topple over on the ground, Nabiki returned the mallet back into pocket space and told her iinazuke to go and call his mothers.
