Time flowed swiftly in the Kamisato Estate.Under the combined care of Hana, Shiro, Gardevoir, Ninetales, Cynthia, Juniper, and an army of attendants—
Ayato grew at a shocking pace. Ayato's Baby Milestones
By three months, he began rolling over on his own, delighting Cynthia, who clapped like she had witnessed a legendary Pokémon.Juniper took frantic notes in her baby-development journal.
By six months, Ayato was pulling himself up, wobbling while holding onto furniture.Gardevoir hovered behind him like a paranoid mother hen, ready to catch him.Ninetales followed him around, tail brushing aside anything dangerous.
By eight months, Ayato took his first steps.
Cynthia screamed like she had won the Pokémon League.
Juniper fainted with excitement.(Shiro had to revive her with smelling salts.)
Ayato's walking quickly evolved into sneaking—
Which became a problem.
The Tiny Intruder
Because Ayato had a newfound obsession:
Books.
Specifically—Shiro's private research library.
The Kamisato Clan library was enormous, but Shiro's personal room—secured with fingerprint locks—was filled with rare documents, confidential research papers, and ancient texts from various regions.
Yet somehow…
An eight-month-old Ayato would always find a way inside.
No one understood how.
Neither did Shiro.
"Why is he always here…?" Shiro muttered one afternoon, staring at his infant son sitting on the floor surrounded by scrolls.
Ayato flipped through a research paper on Sinnoh Pokémon evolution patterns, his tiny fingers brushing across graphs with surprising interest.
Shiro sighed deeply.
"He's either a genius… or a future menace to academia."
Cynthia entered the room, panting."Ayato-chan! There you are! Don't run off like that!"
Juniper barged in behind her."I told you he's researching! Look! He's reading about evolutionary catalysts!"
Ayato blinked innocently.
If only you knew I'm actually checking what this world is missing so I can use the System later…
A New Visitor Arrives
But Ayato's life changed again when the doors of the Kamisato Estate opened for a special guest.
A delicate five-year-old girl stepped inside, clutching a small suitcase.Her blonde hair flowed like silk, violet eyes soft but tired.Her movements were elegant, like a noble princess from a storybook.
She was accompanied by Cynthia's grandmother.
Shiro greeted her with a nod."So Lady Caitlin will be staying with Cynthia for a while?"
The older woman sighed."Yes. Her psychic power is growing too fast. She loses control emotionally… and Pokémon around her react."
Hana nodded sympathetically.
Behind them, Caitlin stood silently, looking nervous.
First Meeting — The Psychic Princess & The Reincarnated Baby
When Cynthia dragged her into the nursery to meet Ayato, Caitlin hesitated at the door.
The moment she entered—
Ayato turned his head.
Their eyes met.
Ayato blinked.
Then raised his small hand…
And waved.
Soft. Innocent. Cute.
Caitlin froze.
Her face turned pink.
A gentle psychic ripple spread through the room—her uncontrolled power reacting to her emotions—but for some mysterious reason…
Gardevoir blocked it instantly.Ninetales neutralized it with calm frost.
Caitlin gasped."You're… okay? You're not scared?"
Ayato tilted his head and reached his hand toward her again, smiling.
Caitlin's heart melted instantly.
"I… I like him."She walked forward, kneeling beside him."He's… really cute."
Cynthia puffed her chest proudly."Of course he is! He's Ayato!"
Juniper nodded with scholarly seriousness."He has that charm effect."
Caitlin shyly poked Ayato's cheek, and Ayato giggled.
Her eyes sparkled.
"He's… adorable… I want to play with him too."
Cynthia crossed her arms."Welcome to the club."
Juniper added,"As long as you don't steal my research notes."
Caitlin blinked."Research on Ayato?"
Juniper proudly held up her thick notebook."Everything from feeding patterns to preferred toys."
Caitlin turned to Ayato.
"U-Um… can I be your friend too?"
Ayato reached for her hair, gently tugging a strand.
Caitlin smiled warmly."I'll take that as yes."
From that day on—
Caitlin joined Cynthia and Juniper in visiting Ayato daily.
She sat with him during playtime.She helped when he practiced standing.Sometimes she simply held him when her emotions became overwhelming.
And strangely—
When Caitlin was with Ayato, her psychic powers… calmed.
Her grandmother was stunned.
"It's like he naturally stabilizes her aura…"Shiro adjusted his glasses."Interesting… Very interesting."
Ayato simply gurgled.
I didn't do anything!
But everyone saw him as a miracle.
The Trio Around Ayato
So the dynamic shifted:
Cynthia acted like a fierce big sister, energetic and protective.
Juniper saw herself as Ayato's personal scientist.
Caitlin became the gentle, shy one who clung to Ayato whenever her psychic aura wavered.
Ayato, not even one year old yet, had:
A future Champion A future Professor A future Elite Four
all as loyal childhood friends.
And Ayato himself?
He just enjoyed pulling their hair, grabbing their clothes, and sneaking into forbidden libraries.
