Ron the True Fan: From depressing events to…well, I find it amusing as all hell, at least.

Near Ilex forest - 1354 hours - Day 453 of Ash Ketchum's Pokemon Journey

Kyoji and Gible looked at the screen of his laptop, looking through records. Well, Kyoji was reading, Gible was keeping him company.

Apparently, Ash's little trip through time didn't screw up much of anything other than reviving Brock's parents and restoring Brock while also allowing Becca to exist.

He wasn't happy about Celebi getting hurt by Ash tackling her, but considering Ash's paranoid terror about altering the timeline - and how Becca was made to exist in the first place - he reacted rather than thought.

And what was his prize?

Hikari, younger sister of the Berlitz family matriarch Akari, the woman who created the first known Pokedex. Or at least took credit for it on Ash's insistence.

He did all the work.

Speaking of work, Ash was trying to teach Hikari modern Kantoan, but Hikari was proving to be something of a slow learner.

"Gib." 'Pretty lady's gonna need a new ID.' Gible said, Kyoji petting the land shark.

"Well, we can't call her 'Dawn Berlitz'." Kyoji said. "Same family or not, that would raise QUESTIONS."

Only the threat of castration and lingering death at Serena's hands kept him from suggesting 'Dawn Ketchum'.

Kyoji shuddered before the scent of coffee and hazelnut wafted past his nose, right before Ash and Pikachu sat down beside him, coffee mugs in their respective appendages. "You look like shit." Kyoji said to his best human friend.

"I know." Ash said, sipping his coffee before he gave Kyoji a hug, surprising the Ranseian soldier.

"Ash, what the-"

"Nine. Months." Ash said. "I missed all of you. You call me out on being an idiot. I needed that back in Hisui."

Kyoji knew all too well Ash relied on emotional support. He was suicidal, no doubts about that. The only thing keeping those dark tendencies in check were the people around him.

The biggest column of support was obviously Serena. His first love and the one with the most sway over him. Serena once bragged that Ash would conquer the world for her if she asked. And he WOULD if she did.

Misty and the other 'veterans' were the next largest influence, followed by his family and friends.

"Aw…" said Sabrina, who walked into the room a moment later. "Dad needs a hug."

Kyoji sputtered, Sabrina gently pushing Ash away from Kyoji with her psionic powers. "Sabrina." Ash greeted simply.

"It'd be awkward for you to hug me with… well…" Sabrina gestured to her figure. "Well, me being ME." then she tilted her head to one side. "Why are you here? I thought you'd be teaching Hikari."

Ash yawned loudly enough to probably be heard in Pallet. "Serena INSISTED she take Hikari to the closest town for some new clothes." he said. "Iris, Anabel and Misty went with them."

"And you're too mentally exhausted from your trip to the past to put up with SHOPPING." Kyoji said, partly teasing, partly in sympathy. Ash was unamused.

Sabrina patted her father on the head before picking up Gible and petting him, resulting in a happy eyesmile. "I have to get back to Kanto. TRY to get some sleep, Dad." she said to Ash before Gible latched onto Ash's head with a chomp.

"Can't. Nightmares got worse." Ash said as his eyes began to droop.

"Gib!" cried the land shark before he used Thunder Fang.

Meanwhile

Serena scowled as she tried to find a good outfit for Hikari, who was very confused.

Granted, she was from three thousand years in the past. She was even getting some looks for her old-style outfit, not to mention her figure. She was no model, but she was actually rather muscular, though not to the degree of Iris and that outfit did a lot to hide her assets.

Hard worker with the figure of a model. And she was barely 15. And she was Dawn, too!

Serena cackled before some idiot walked up to her, trying to ask her out. Hikari's response was to punch him in the face, then twist his arm until they heard popping sounds.

"SWEET RAIKOU'S ASS!" he yelled. "YOU BROKE MY ARM!"

Hikari then kicked him in the balls, sending him flying.

"She's taken, dumbass." Serena muttered, picking out a near copy of Dawn's outfit from the last timeline.

The boots just weren't pink and the skirt was a LOT longer. The main reason for the latter?

Hikari's butt wasn't exactly suited for a miniskirt and the only one that should be spying on that was Ash.

"Robin better not be trying anything." Serena groused as she got Hikari's attention.

"So this Volo guy got his face caved in." Kyoji said as he tried to keep Ash awake.

"Did it myself." Ash said drowsily. Not even the power of coffee was keeping him up. Kyoji knew its' uses, but didn't like the stuff.

"And his mom was-"

"I made a cross. It lit on fire." Ash said, Kyoji giving him a look of confusion.

"Pika." 'It happened. It was weird. Thirsty old bitch.' Pikachu said, Kyoji turning that look, now mixed with shock, to him.

"At least I know what Cynthia's gonna look like when she's 70 or so." Ash said before he yawned, Kyoji smacking him to keep him awake.

"Dude, you will NOT sleep unless Serena or anyone else is here." the Ranseian said. "…Where's Becca? She's on the 'I kill nightmares' team, isn't she?"

Ash snorted. "Trying to figure out her place in the world." he said, sounding depressed. Sure, he was happy Brock was back, but Becca was weirded out about being, for lack of a better term, a younger, girl version of her new big brother.

He didn't want to make anyone who didn't deserve it have a bad day. Becca did not deserve it.

"I'm letting her be until she…" Ash cut himself off with a yawn. Kyoji grabbed Gible and put him on Ash's head, the chomp enhanced by electrical zapping.

Sadly, Ash had been electrocuted by Pikachu so many times, Pac-Gible's mighty electric chomp was a mild and easily ignored annoyance. Ash just pet the land shark.

MAx walked in, seeing the sight. "Still bad?" he asked, his Ralts walking behind him.

Kyoji nodded before they heard the door open, with Misty complaining about Hikari being unable to communicate before Kyoji grabbed Ash's sleepy ass and dragged him into the next room.

"SOMEONE take him!" Kyoji shouted before Ash stumbled and landed, face-first, into Misty's cleavage, knocking them over..

Misty's blush matched her hair, but Ash literally fell asleep as soon as they hit the ground. No fitting, groaning, just breathing in and out.

"Lucky bitch." Serena muttered as she and Hikari walked past.

"W-Would you mind getting your priorities straight?!" Misty demanded, Serena snorting in derision.

"I AM. I'm the one who wants to have Ash's head between her natural pillows." the Kalosian said, getting looks from Misty, Kyoji, Hikari AND Gible.

"WHAT?!" Misty snapped, Ash rolling over and getting… comfy. Serena continued to glare at her.

She was not amused.

Hikari undressed down to her underclothes before the strange woman stared at her practical, if spartan, wrappings before running off.

That gave time for Hikari to collect her thoughts. According to Satoshi - Ash, really - they were thousands of years in the future. Her family, her friends… well, they were long dead. There was no getting around that.

And that Kalosian woman, Serena, used psychic powers to tell her about an alternate timeline where she was born in the modern era and traveled with him, falling in love, but unable to stay.

If she wasn't here, she'd dismiss it as a bad story. That said, time travel was a thing.

She didn't mind being in this time, but it wasn't going to be easy. She knew nothing of this time other than Ash lived in it.

Serena then barged in with strange looking… Were those supposed to be underwear?!

They were so THIN!

Becca looked at Ash as his head laid nestled between Misty's assets, making her look at her own with some pride… before remembering Ash felt awkward around her.

Her brother. Brock. Yes, she knew he had no say in the matter. Yes, it was Kyoji's fault, technically speaking.

But maybe she could deal with this. The rock climber nodded to herself. Despite it not truly happening the way she remembered - Ash said he fought Brock, while she remembered fighting Ash - he was still himself.

She went into the bathroom, as Serena was forcing modern clothes on Hikari, turned on the water and splashed some water on her face, which dripped down and…

Well, you get the general idea.

Sure, she was literally caused by an accident (temporally speaking) but she was here, she was an attractive woman and she was a gym leader-grade trainer.

Ash needed the help and his willingness to help anyone drew her to him. Screw the angst. Time to get peppy.

She walked out, not really caring about the fact the water was making her shirt and bra semi-transparent, then made her way to where Ash was still laying on Misty, fast asleep and laid on top of him, much to Misty's consternations.

"Wha-what are you doing, Becca-"

"Shut up and cuddle." Becca said bluntly before Ash made a HAPPY noise in his sleep. "He's having a good dream and I want to keep it up."

"…Just so you know, that green shirt isn't helping when you have a WHITE BRA." Serena pointed out cheekily as she came out with Hikari, now looking like Dawn with a longer skirt and black boots while holding her beanie in her hands. "Trying to give Ash a show?"

Becca blinked before looking down…and saw that she WAS basically on full display, as it were.

She WOULD be embarrassed if Ash hadn't seen her naked from the waist up back in Salen.

Now? She simply removed it and let her mocha skinned bust, only covered by a white bra that was wet and mostly see-through.

Misty scowled at Becca, then decided she wouldn't be one-upped and took off her own yellow tank top, making sure Ash's head stayed in place.

"…His virginity is mine. His first child is MINE." Serena said warningly. "Don't get any ideas."

Ash moaned happily in his sleep, making Misty smirk. "Ash might get ideas." she said cheekily.

Serena GLARED.

6 hours later

While Ash was having a happy dream for once, it was not an erotic one. …At least not directly.

He's physically 15. Sue him.

He was surrounded by all the ladies in his life… and children. LOTS of children. A lot of them looked like Tatsuki.

Accurate, given… Tatsuki's interests.

But all good things must come to an end.

And so Ash awoke… between a rock and a hard place. …Well, it wasn't exactly accurate: Misty and Becca's assets were quite soft, but the analogy still worked as rocks were hard and water was just as bad if you were falling towards it.

Both girls were asleep and…well, he couldn't move as Misty and Becca had wrapped their arms around him.

And both of them were only covered by their respective undergarments. Both were asleep, but he needed to get out between them.

He needed to pee.

Misty groggily opened her eyes. "Oh, Ash…" she said, smiling at who she thought was Ash, but was actually Becca. "It's a little early for another round…"

He was surrounded by perverts.

"But I don't mind…" she said, lifting her arms up and leaning forward and planting her lips on Becca's, allowing him to gently remove Becca's arms from him and slide down, trying not to pay attention.

Especially when Becca made a moan of pleasure and apparently started kissing back.

He turned his back to them, the look on his face being a mix of shame and confusion as the two started making out, apparently both thinking they were making out with Ash.

He left the scene as soon as possible and walked into the bathroom.

Where Serena was just coming out of the shower. So she gave him quite the show.

Ash just stared. In most circumstances, there would be a scream of 'PERVERT!', a slap to the face or worse.

"Come on, love, you can do more than look if you want~" purred the Kalosian beauty, before grabbing a towel and starting to dry herself off and give him a show of it.

Ash felt warm liquid drip down from his nose. The iron taste confirmed it was blood.

"I need to pee," he said dumbly. Serena walked past him, giving him a peck on the cheek while wrapping herself up before closing the door behind her.

Back with the swimsuit model and the rock climbing model, Becca discovered she WASN'T kissing Ash within a few seconds of becoming fully aware…then realized she REALLY didn't give a shit and returned the kiss more aggressively.

Serena might've done it by accident, but she might've just saved Ash's life by flipping their switches.

For Misty's part, she felt a little ashamed, but once Becca started returning the favor more proactively, even cupping her right cheek, she pressed forward and wrapped her arms behind Becca's neck.

They were about to start 'experimenting' when they heard a female chuckle, making them break off.

"Ara ara, girls." Serena said, a towel wrapped around her body very provocatively. "Enjoying yourselves?"

Both stared at her with annoyance. They were ENJOYING themselves until she up and interrupted them.

"Don't mind me." she said before walking past them. "Keep it up. After all… Ash needs us together without clawing at one another's throats. Better that we love him and each other, right?"

With that, she walked into the bedroom to get dressed.

Serena didn't completely spoil the mood with that last statement. She WAS right. After all, better that they be interested in each other as well as the man who brought them together.

"Second best mistake ever," Becca said smiling.

"What was the first?" Misty asked her as her hands roamed over Becca's muscular back.

"Kyoji and Celebi mucking with the timeline." the girl said before kissing Misty again, just before the bathroom door opened and Ash walked out.

They ignored his stunned expression and continued kissing, Ash walking outside as they started reaching downwards.

Two days later

Max couldn't remember the events of the last day and a half. All he remembered was walking into a room and… nothing.

His Ralts - sorry, Kirila, he evolved sometime during that period where he couldn't remember a thing - made it clear he was better off not knowing.

Still, it was time to move onto the next big city. It'd take a couple weeks with another rainstorm about to turn the roads to mud.

"Anyone going to tell me what happened?" he asked, Ash shaking his head while the girls said nothing, though Misty and Becca looked sheepish while Red was clueless and HIS girls didn't bother saying anything.

"Better off that you don't know." Kyoji said, patting him on the back.

"I'd rather know so I could understand-"

"Max." Ash said sternly, but softly. "Let it go."

Max sighed, but followed Ash's advice before all of them climbed into the carriages, Hikari a little more uncertainly then the others, but getting a hand from Ash.

It was back to normal… kinda.

Ron the True Fan: This was actually FUN. I wanted to write something a little more amusing than Hisui. So why not?

Takeshi Yamato: It certainly was amusing.

Ron the True Fan: Yeah, Ash is mentally FUCKED. So why not torture him (and all of you) with fanservice? And not the nods to past material fanservice, the OTHER fanservice. Yeah, basically as far as THAT goes. You want anything that goes beyond, go talk to Jorn: he has permission.

Takeshi Yamato: Yep. And it seems Max's Ralts evolved, and Max might have seen something he shouldn't…

Ron the True Fan: I think you can all guess what.

Ja Ne!
