A sharp pain shot through his head as his consciousness stirred from the void. Memories flashed—his old life, a mundane existence filled with regrets. Then, nothing. Until now.
His eyes opened to a wooden ceiling. The scent of fresh pancakes filled the air. He sat up, feeling oddly small. A mirror stood across the room, and when he saw his reflection, a jolt of shock ran through him.
Messy black hair. Youthful skin.
"Ash Ketchum?" he muttered, his voice lighter than he remembered.
The realization hit him like a truck. He had reincarnated into Ash's body. Not just that—he had a whole year before the start of his Pokémon journey. This wasn't just the anime world; it felt… real.
As he tried to process everything, a soft chime echoed in his mind.
[Ding! Lust System Activated!]
A translucent blue screen appeared before him.
[Welcome, Host! You have been chosen by the Lust System! Complete missions, increase your charm, and build relationships to receive powerful rewards, including Pokémon, abilities, and skills!]
His mind went blank for a moment.
"A… Lust System? In the Pokémon world?"
It sounded absurd, yet his body buzzed with new energy, as if the system's activation had enhanced his very existence.
The system chimed again.
[First Mission: Win a woman's heart to receive your first reward!]
Requirement: Gain affection from a female character.Reward: A high-tier Pokémon as a starter (instead of a basic one).Bonus Reward: +10% permanent attraction bonus.Ash—or rather, the reincarnated soul inside Ash—grinned.
"This is going to be interesting."
Just then, a soft knock came at his door.
"Ash, breakfast is ready!" came a sweet, familiar voice.
Delia Ketchum. His new mother in this world. A beautiful woman in her prime.
His first target.
