I became an enthusiastic Brony when I discovered MLP:FiM between seasons 3 & 4 via the review/analysis community. I hope you like my contributions.

Can Equestria handle the impact caused by Wild Pony, who is actually the somewhat scrambled and ponified martial arts prodigy and weirdness magnet otherwise known as Ranma Saotome?

Set after the failed wedding at the end of Ranma ½ and approximately three years before the return of Nightmare Moon, then rapidly skips ahead to just a few months prior.

Now has a side story: My Little Sphinx

On a side note, like MLP:FiM itself, the story will mainly be Slice of Life, with the occasional sections of Action/Adventure popping up now and then. I mention this because I couldn't choose both tags, and of the two, this story weighs in more on the Slice of Life side.

This is really good for a rainmaker crossover. I have high hopes for this
Good luck!

I am loving this!:pinkiesmile:

Please keep going!

Ah, cool. A ranma 1/3 crossover. haven't seen one of these before. Will read later

Rainmaker? Im pretty sure it's a Ranma 1/2 cross over

3860751 I was pretty sure I was writing a Ranma 1/2 crossover too. I just don't know what went wrong... :derpyderp1:

3860802
I know right? I mean, even from the title, and the art, and the name, makes it pretty damn obvious. Besides, If it was anything other than a Ranma crossover, then I'd have to say that you didn't credit the right people. Also No idea what rainmaker is. I will look it up in a min.

I like this. I look forward to future chapters.

Any difference between this and the Fanfiction.net version?

Or am I confusing stories? This IS going to have RD going RB for Wild Pony, yes? If not, sorry for the confusion.

3862174 RB? :rainbowhuh: I am not familiar with that term...
But yes, this is essentially the same story I posted on Fanfiction.net, with just a few tweaks and changes here and there, either to bring the story further into compliance with the guidelines of FiMFiction, or to take advantage of features that Fanfiction.net simply doesn't have.

For example, while the modified version of "Comfortably Numb" by The Who (Edit: Pink Floyd) that was usued in Chapter Three: Trauma Drama were fine over there, I left far too many of the original lyrics unchanged to pass on this site. So it will be a little while before I post it, as I have to either think up replacement lyrics, trim them back, or cut them entirely. :facehoof:

And that song was just about a perfect fit too... :fluttercry:

3860751 sorry I blame Ipod spell check. Good story though.

3862536 I'll give you a hint, the 3 letters after the R are the same as the 3 after the R for R D.

3863015 Wait, did you mean RAINBOOM!? :rainbowlaugh:

I really should have seen that one... :facehoof:

3863043
You would be correct sir!

Wasn't sure if you wanted to not have any spoilers, but I guess it doesn't really matter now. ^_^ Besides letting that slip is nothing compared to revealing BEEEEEP

3862536
> Comfortably Numb by The Who
> Comfortably Numb
>The Who
Sorry man, you've got a good story here, but you're dead to me.

3863751 What? Because I used it in the first place, or because I now have to either change the lyrics further or cut them entirely in order to be able to post the next chapter on this site? :rainbowhuh:

I'm afraid you lost me at the song, it was irritating and embarrassing to read.

3864577
I should know this, but in my defense (such as it is), I had been listening to the Who just prior to making that reply... :twilightblush: (And, upon rereading the chapter as I was editing the format for this site, id discovered that I had apparently made the same mistake when originally writing it... :facehoof: )

If it makes you feel any better, it should be a long long time before another of my silly modified Heart-song attempts crops up again. If ever.

And yes, I realize that I cannot please everyone. But that doesn't mean that I can't appoligies for making somebody's brain hurt... :twilightsheepish:

3863751
I'm guessing my mistake in crediting a Pink Floyd song to The Who is why I need to apologize to you as well. :facehoof: Heck, I may as well apologize to everyone right now for the hack-job I did in trying to bring the lyrics within the guidelines of this site... :twilightblush:

3860824 Dude, everyone knows it's a Rainmaker crossover.
Just accept it.
I don't know what either is... :pinkiehappy:

Is Spruce Tree supposed to be a reference to another anime? Because if so, I have no idea what it is referencing.

3865259 Enope! :eeyup:

Spruce Tree is an expy of Bruce Lee, possibly with a bit of Jackie Chan thrown in. The idea is that he would be a martial artist from Neighpony who got into acting once he moved to Equestria, and has even tried his hoof in motion pictures. Some of which Big Mac has apparently watched... :eeyup:

3864754 Aha! But it is actually a CSI: Miami crossover! :rainbowdetermined2:
:yay: "yeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"

Twilight Sparkle: "I can't take you two anywhere..." :facehoof:

I bet on Ranma hooves down. :rainbowdetermined2::rainbowdetermined2: When Ranma is protecting someone Ranma never looses! :pinkiehappy:

Awesome fight! :pinkiehappy: To bad Ranma is close to death from it. :applecry::fluttercry::raritycry::pinkiesad2:
:flutterrage::flutterrage::flutterrage::flutterrage::flutterrage: MEDIC!!!!!!!

it was a great chapter none the less. will there be a few more throughout the day?

:rainbowdetermined2:SONIC RAINBOOM SAVES THE DAY!!!!:yay::rainbowkiss:
That clerk needs to get some suffering.
I almost pity Genma and Nodoka if Ranma's new friends get their hooves on them... even more if the Princesses get involved.

3866541 It takes a little while to reformat each chapter into HTML, but I should be caught up to what I've already written soon. :twilightsmile:

SWEEEET, no one from fanfiction is updating, its so sad

I don't know if Ranma is anywhere as interesting as what you have done with him, but you totally got my attention. :pinkiegasp:

3867985 The original manga/anime are pretty good. Bit dated and heavily suffers from forced harem elements.

Hmm, isn't that going to be awkward for the Poison Joke episode? :trollestia:

Well, that and I wonder how Twilight will fit in for Nightmare Moon return.

3869854
A truly excellent selection of the weirdness Ranma normally has to put up with! :twilightsmile:

3870090
That assumes that the episodes would played out normally regardless on the impact on events caused by Ranma. Some of them are going to be very different indeed! :derpytongue2:

Little Filly is adorably cute and cuddly. :heart::heart:
I love how The Stare is able to freeze Ranma and the Neko-ken in place, Fluttershy is awesome :yay:
I think Genma has earned himself a beat down from Fluttershy of all ponies if he ever gets into Equestria. Then he should get punished by the rest of the Mane 6, Celestia, Luna, and then given to discord as his new test subject.

3870844 He should totally fight Discord wile Pinkie provides monition to trow at Discord. Wierd - fu of unimaginable proportions.

This is great!:pinkiehappy:
Ranma was one of the animes that got me into anime in general, so I am pleased to see this crossover:moustache:
I personally am not against harems or herds, but I will admit that Ranma has probably had enough of that:twilightblush:
Eventually he may want to pursue a more normal romance, but right now he needs to just relax and enjoy a (relatively) normal life.:pinkiesmile:

Considering how long Ranma has been affected by the poison joke I cannot help but wonder if it is permanent.:duck:
I mean that long of a time frame plus the whole lawn ornament thing....:trixieshiftright:
At the very least I would expect the normal cure to be ineffectual.:trollestia:

I don't expect an answer of course:twilightblush:
just brainstorming:twilightsmile:

O my gaaaahd!!! that is such a great crossoverr!!! i am completely in LUV with the idea of ranma finally having some vocation!! you've done a real good job so far and i am really excited to read more of his adventures.!!

Nice chapter. I can totally see Ranma catching two certain brats taunting Applebloom about her lack of a cutie mark and verbally tearing into them. I can also see Ranma having to deal with "Cutie Mark Crusaders Martial Arts Masters YAY!" at some point and finding them at the very least enthusiastic and amusing. Heaven help the Everfree beastie that comes after them when Ranma is around. I have to wonder what Twilight will make of Ranma when she arrives in Ponyville. I'm eager to see things catch up to the start of the series.

3876535

Apple Bloom: "Applejack! Applejack! Wild Pony saved Sweetie Bell, Scootaloo an' Ah from a lizard-chicken thingy, but now she's a lawn ornament again!" :applecry:

Applejack: "Apple Bloom, how many tahms to Ah have t' tell ya that you an' yer friends are supposed t' stay clear of the Everfree Forest?" :ajbemused:

Big Mac: "Ah'll go get th' cart ready. We'll fetch her back an' then see if Twilaht knows a spell that c'n fix this..." :eeyup:

Apple Bloom: "Um... Miss Twilaht is stone too..." :applecry:

Applejack: "Raht. Of course she is. Hospital it is then..." :ajbemused:

3876917 Lol, I can see that happening, also Twilight's eye twitching after Ranma demonstrates the Dragon's Heaven Blast. Oh yeah, Ranma might be a good trainer for Scootaloo if she can figure out some wing exercises to help strengthen her wings. Add Dinky to the Crusaders and have Ranma follow them to pull their tails out of messes and tree sap and much fun will be had.

Is Ranma... er, Wild Pony a filly or a mare? I'm kinda confused with her age at this point.

3870844 Well, unless you decide to remove Twilight, or change the bearer of the Element of magic or create an element for Ramna, I don't see how she is going to fit in the Pilot. Then again, I suppose she can be used to rework the scenes that reveal the element of each ponies.

But, please don't change the Poison Joke exposition! Fluterguy is so funny. Actually, strangely, Ramna might be the only one who have enough experience with bad luck to listen to Zecora.

3877206
Wild Pony is a little scrambled in the head, but she's the same apparent physical age as Rainbow Dash (they are both the same size).

3877395
Do you really think Wild Pony would stay back while Fluttershy headed off into the Everfree Forest the help Twilight get the Elements? :fluttercry:

And while it probably wont happen under the same circumstances, the Poison Joak will be around to give Fluttershy a serious case of 'base.' :fluttershyouch:

Twilight Sparkle: "You are a horrible pony! You know that, right?" :twilightangry2:

Tangent: "Thank you!"

Twilight Sparkle: "That wasn't a compliment!" :facehoof:

3877466 *get some popcorn* This will be good.

I think I wanna watch whatever it was, ranma 1/2 or something.
This is awesome so far :pinkiehappy:

ranma isnt a bad show actually, i think season 1 is better imo, but thats me
