What is the plot?

Ranma and Shampoo continue their search for Ryoga through the streets of Nerima.

Shampoo asks Ranma whose stupid idea it was for Ryoga to go on a date with Akane, causing Ryoga to become lost.

Ranma defends the situation, explaining that Ryoga's date with Akane was not anyone's fault but Ryoga's own directional curse.

They spot Ryoga from a distance, wandering aimlessly near the Tendo dojo.

Shampoo leaps ahead to confront Ryoga first, grabbing his arm possessively.

Ryoga pulls away from Shampoo, flustered, and demands to know why she is interfering with his time alone.

Ranma catches up and teases Ryoga about missing his date with Akane due to getting lost again.

Ryoga blushes deeply, denying any romantic intentions, and accuses Ranma of spreading rumors.

Shampoo insists that Ryoga belongs to her as a potential husband, tightening her grip on him.

Ryoga shakes her off forcefully and declares he has no interest in Shampoo, only anger toward Ranma.

The argument escalates into a challenge, with Ryoga deciding to fight Ranma right there to settle their rivalry.

Shampoo steps back, cheering for Ranma while warning Ryoga not to hurt her beloved.

Ranma accepts the challenge casually, cracking his knuckles and entering a fighting stance.

Ryoga charges at Ranma with a powerful punch, but Ranma dodges effortlessly.

Ranma counters with a swift kick to Ryoga's side, sending him stumbling back.

Ryoga recovers quickly, using his enhanced strength to grab a nearby lamppost and swing it as a weapon.

Ranma leaps over the swinging pole, landing behind Ryoga and delivering an uppercut.

Ryoga blocks the uppercut partially, grunting in pain, then headbutts Ranma squarely in the chest.

Ranma flies back into a storefront display, shattering glass, but rolls to his feet unharmed.

Shampoo watches excitedly, munching on a snack she pulled from her sleeve.

Ranma wipes blood from his lip and praises Ryoga's improvement since their last fight.

Ryoga, fueled by jealousy over Akane, unleashes a barrage of rapid punches aimed at Ranma's torso.

Ranma parries most punches but takes one to the jaw, spitting out a tooth.

Ranma retaliates with his signature Kachu Tenshin Amaguriken speed punches, pummeling Ryoga's defenses.

Ryoga endures the flurry, his bandages unraveling, and counters by grabbing Ranma's arm mid-punch.

Ryoga suplexes Ranma onto the pavement, cracking the concrete.

Ranma springs up, cursing, and decides to end the fight seriously.

Suddenly, cold rain begins to fall, triggering everyone's Jusenkyo curses.

Ranma transforms into a redheaded girl, Shampoo into her cat form, and Ryoga into P-chan, the black piglet.

Female Ranma yelps in surprise, slipping on the wet ground.

Cat Shampoo hisses and scratches at P-chan Ryoga, who squeals and runs in circles.

Female Ranma tries to separate them, yelling for them to stop fighting in their animal forms.

P-chan Ryoga headbutts cat Shampoo into a puddle, splashing more water everywhere.

Female Ranma grabs P-chan by the tail, lifting him up as he oinks angrily.

Cat Shampoo shakes off water and pounces on female Ranma's back, claws out.

Female Ranma flails, trying to dislodge the cat, while holding onto the squirming piglet.

Akane appears at the dojo gate, having heard the commotion, and calls out in confusion.

Akane rushes over, scooping up P-chan from female Ranma's grasp protectively.

Cat Shampoo leaps off and hides behind a trash bin, meowing innocently.

Female Ranma straightens her clothes, embarrassed, and tries to explain the situation.

Akane cuddles P-chan, ignoring female Ranma, and scolds her for picking on her pet pig.

P-chan Ryoga nuzzles Akane happily, glaring daggers at female Ranma.

Female Ranma fumes internally, jealous of Ryoga's position, but decides not to reveal his identity.

Shampoo reverts to human form as the rain stops, dusting herself off.

Shampoo grabs Ranma's arm possessively again, declaring victory in the search.

Akane invites everyone inside the dojo to dry off, carrying P-chan tenderly.

Inside the Tendo living room, everyone towels off while Soun and Genma watch curiously.

Kasumi serves hot tea to warm them up.

Nabiki smirks from the sidelines, snapping photos for blackmail material.

Ryoga, still as P-chan in Akane's lap, feels guilty but enjoys the affection.

Ranma, now male again after hot water, glares at P-chan and whispers threats.

Shampoo sits close to Ranma, feeding him bon-bons from her purse.

Akane notices the tension and asks why they were fighting outside.

Ranma deflects, blaming Ryoga's disappearance on his usual wandering.

Suddenly, Happosai bursts through the door, carrying a massive sack of stolen lingerie.

Happosai cackles about his latest haul from the laundromat.

Everyone groans, knowing trouble is coming.

Happosai spots female underwear in his sack and dances gleefully.

Ranma decides this is his chance to shift focus and challenges Happosai to return the stolen goods.

Happosai refuses, stuffing a bra into his mouth like cotton candy.

Ranma lunges at Happosai, but the old master dodges with acrobatic flips.

Happosai counters by throwing panties like bolas, tangling Ranma's legs.

Ranma trips and faceplants, cursing.

Shampoo joins the fray, swinging her bon-bon skewers at Happosai.

Happosai parries with his pipe, then uses Happodaikarin to suck up Shampoo's weapons.

Ryoga, as P-chan, leaps from Akane's lap to bite Happosai's ankle.

Happosai kicks P-chan away, sending him crashing into Genma.

Genma transforms into a panda from the impact splash.

Akane yells at everyone to stop destroying the house.

Soun weeps dramatically about the chaos in his home.

Nabiki counts her potential profits from the photos.

Happosai decides to up the ante, pulling out a special pressure point technique scroll.

He declares he will teach Ranma a "manly" ultimate move if Ranma retrieves more panties.

Ranma, desperate to beat Happosai fairly, agrees reluctantly.

Happosai laughs maniacally and teleports away with his Happodaikarin.

Ranma realizes he must become fully male without curses interfering to master the technique.

Ranma storms out to train, determined to surpass his female form's limitations.

Shampoo follows, promising to help.

Akane watches P-chan Ryoga recover, stroking his head soothingly.

P-chan Ryoga vows internally to confess his feelings to Akane soon.

Genma-panda holds up a sign: "This is why we can't have nice things."

The group disperses, tension lingering as night falls.
