But by the time he found his way there after a four-day journey all over Japan, Ranma had gone off with his father on a training expedition. Ryouga blames Ranma for his condition, and his anger multiplies when he finds out that Ranma is the pig-tailed girl who knocked him into the spring. Upon finding out what he had done, Ranma remorsefully swears not to reveal Ryouga's secret Akane adopts Ryouga the pig as her pet "P-chan". Ryouga falls deeply in love with her.
