Harem Hotel: Pokemon Post Apocalypse Version

Two people and a cat with a coin on its head were sitting in a small conference room, all three of them visibly nervous.

"What do you think the boss wanted?" questioned the woman, who had a strange pinkish purple hair in a ponytail.

"I hope we're not fired," said the man, who has blue hair.

"Let's not think like dat," said the cat.

The three of them heard footsteps, and saw their boss walking into the room. As usual, they couldn't see his face, as it was covered by a shadow coming from his mask.

"Jessie, James, Meowth, I have good news for you," he said. The trio looked up at him in surprise.

"Good news?" questioned Jessie.

"That's a first," finished James.

"I am happy to congratulate you three on your first season as host," said their boss. The trio lit up like a christmas tree.

"YES!" they all exclaimed. If they could see their boss's eyes, they'd be able to see he was rolling them.

"Yes yes, you can celebrate later. This all happened extremely suddenly and we don't have much time. Now, meet your Harem Master," said their boss. Between the trio and their boss, a hologram of Ash Ketchum appeared.

"Of course it's the twerp," said James.

"But he doesn't look too good," said Jessie.

Sure enough, this was far from your normal Ash. He was older, 35 years old to be exact. Not only that, but his face was covered in scars and he was missing a few fingers.

"This Ash Ketchum comes from Poke World 684, a world that is facing a total reset. The story is long and complicated, but I'll give you the overview. Many years ago, Giovanni did something so terrible, it led to almost all life in Kanto and even parts of Johto being wiped out. This pissed off Arceus, who then wanted to bring an end to humanity. Ash Ketchum here led the opposing side and even convinced the Creation Trio to fight with him. They won, but at a great cost. Their world has no life left, and Ash is the last human, and he's dying. To save their friend, the Creation Trio sacrificed themselves to restart the world and give Ash another chance. That chance is us. After the show, Ash's world will be restored and given a second chance with him as it's leader."

The trio couldn't help but cry at Ash's story.

"Wow, dat twerp really is a hero," said Meowth.

"Not only will you be giving him a second chance at life, but Ash will be reverted back to the age of 25."

"Sir yes sir."

"As for the contestants, you will start with eight, but there are multiple options to add as you go. First off, we have Misty."

The hologram of Ash was replaced by one of Misty. But unlike Ash, she wasn't old. In fact, she looked fairly young.

"Misty was one of many to die by the hands of Giovanni. She was only 19, and will be aged up to 25 for the show. You know her well enough to decide what paths to give her. Now, onto May."

Unlike Misty, May was clearly an adult. Her hologram had her huddled up in the snow, her skin nearly blue.

"May died during the war against Arceus, when her mission went south. Everyone thought she died during the mission, but she didn't. Instead, she froze to **** waiting for a rescue that never came. She died at 29, and will be aged down to 24. Now for the first ****, Dawn."

Sure enough, Dawn was still very much a kid. It looked like she hadn't even hit puberty yet.

"Dawn died at the age of 13. She was killed by Team Rocket, who were after Ash. This basically kick started everything else. Obviously, she needs to be aged up, with her going to 23. The fourth member is Iris."

Iris was completely decked out in her champion attire, and looked to be in an airplane. She looked to be around the same age as Misty.

"Iris was also killed by Team Rocket, and was shot out of the sky on her way to help Ash in the fight. She was only 18. She'll be aged up to 23. Number five is Serena."

Serena was just as stylish as ever, and was also pretty young looking. The hologram has her reaching out for someone with a look of terror on her face.

"Serena here died during Arceus's first attack, and sacrificed herself to save Bonnie. She was 19, and will be aged up to 25. Now for one of the final survivors, Lillie."

Lillie was laying on a slab of concrete, a peaceful smile on her face and her hands over her chest. She was oldest one, looking to be in her 30s. One of her eyes were even missing, and she had multiple scars on her body.

"Lillie died only hours before the final battle, from a sickness that was once easily curable. She was the last human to die before Ash, and the two of them shared a very special connection. She was 34, and will be aged down to 24. Now for Cynthia."

The Sinno Champion was definitely entering her later years, as she had some grey hairs showing. Otherwise, she looked just as good as ever.

"Cynthia was Ash's greatest mentor and mother figure, and was one of the final four. She sacrificed herself holding off Arceus so the others could survive. She was 50, and will be aged down to 35. And last but certainly not least, Bonnie."

This Bonnie was no little girl. She was definitely younger than Ash, but clearly in her 20s. Her eyes were filled with defiance as she looked down an unknown opponent.

"After her brother and Serena were killed at the beginning of the war, Ash took Bonnie in as his little sister. She died only a month before the final battle, an act of spite and hatred from Arceus himself. She was 28, and will be aged down to 18. Any questions?"

The trio stood there in absolute shock at all this information.

"No, good. You don't have long to prepare, as the Creation Trio are very powerful. I wish you all good luck."

Author's Notes

So this started as a silly little idea I had that kinda exploded on me. I've thought about writing it myself, but have chosen not to. I already have a current branch going as well as many other off site projects, so I had to keep my ambition in check.

However, I am putting this story up for adoption. If what I wrote inspired you, go for it. You don't even have to follow everything I set up here. As mentioned, there is a TON of potential for an Ash Harem. I gave my idea, and I'd love to see other ideas.

Anyways, back to adventure.
