Five years passed quietly—but not peacefully—inside the Kamisato Estate.
Ayato Kamisato had grown from an adorable baby into a handsome, sharp-eyed five-year-old.His silver-blue hair fell neatly over his forehead, and he carried himself with a strange calmness for his age. Behind that calmness, however, was a mind that had already read more books than most scholars.
Thanks to Shiro's vast library—and Ayato's habit of sneaking into it daily—he had devoured everything: Pokémon biology, ancient clans, energy types, evolution studies, and global history.
Gardevoir and Ninetales tried to block him.
They failed.
Every. Single. Time.
System… open.[System initializing…][General Knowledge: +500% Growth]Ayato smirked internally.
Ayato and Lusamine — A Curious Friendship
Every year, without fail, Lusamine attended Ayato's birthday.
And despite being a busy woman in her expanding research group, she always made time for him—alone.
She would kneel beside him, pat his head gently, and speak to him with a soft tone she used for no one else.
They became… good friends.
But sometimes, Ayato caught something strange in Lusamine's golden eyes.
A glimmer.A spark.A softness too deep for casual affection.
It confused him.
…Is that maternal affection? Or something else?No, that can't be it. I'm just five!
He shook the thought away. Lusamine simply treasured him—maybe because Hana trusted her.Still, that look bothered him now and then.
Even Rowan teased Shiro at one birthday gathering:
"Hahaha! Be careful, Shiro. Lusamine might run away with your son."
Lusamine only smiled.
And Ayato swore the smile wasn't a joke.
A Shocking Announcement — A New Pokémon Attribute
The world shook one morning when the Pokémon Association made a public declaration:
"A new Pokémon attribute has been discovered: STEEL type."
Researchers rushed to publish papers.Broadcasts filled every region.Smithing businesses exploded overnight.
Shiro stared at the announcement with pride and excitement.
Cynthia nearly dropped her training manual.Juniper scribbled in her notebook like a mad scientist.Caitlin tilted her head, feeling the new psychic-steel energy from afar.
Ayato?He was panicking internally.
Steel type only now?! That means Fairy type… Sylveon… Mega evolutions… all the future Eeveelutions… NONE of them exist yet.
He sat down slowly.
This world is way behind.
But that also meant—
He had the advantage.
Cynthia, Juniper, Caitlin — The Battle for Ayato
The girls had grown too.
Cynthia – 10 years old
Already training with Gible, she showed early signs of her champion aura.
Juniper – 11 years old
Her curiosity had evolved into unprecedented academic speed.
Caitlin – 10 years old
Her psychic power control was improving, thanks to Ayato's calming presence.
And… they were all extremely competitive.
Especially over Ayato.
One afternoon, Ayato was reading on the veranda when suddenly—
BANG!
Cynthia burst through the door."Ayato! I'm first today! Let's train!"
"No, I'm first," Juniper countered sharply, pushing her glasses up.Science mode activated.
"You two are too loud," Caitlin murmured, floating inside on a psychic cushion.
They glared at each other.
Cynthia crossed her arms."He said I can help with his book research today!"
Juniper frowned."No, he said I can arrange his reading schedule scientifically!"
Caitlin blinked softly."Ayato likes me the most… because I'm quiet."
Ayato felt a chill.
Why does this feel dangerous…?
Ayato's Realization — They All Have a Crush
After watching them compete daily—bringing snacks, trying to sit closest to him, feeding him berries, or fighting over who got to read with him—Ayato understood.
They have crushes on me.
He sat proudly in the library, surrounded by thick books.
I, Ayato Kamisato, have successfully attracted:— The future Sinnoh Champion— The future Unova Professor— The future Unova Elite Four member
He nodded to himself.
Not bad. Truly worthy of the Kamisato name.
Shiro, passing by, saw his smug expression and blinked.
"…Why is a five-year-old looking so proud?"
Knowledge is Power — Ayato Reads Everything
The Kamisato Library was enormous, containing rare documents gathered across generations.
Ayato… read every single one.
He knew ancient clans.He knew missing evolution records.He knew extinct mega stones.He knew the differences between this world and the one from his past life.
Shiro once caught him on a ladder with a heavy book.
"Ayato! You're too young for that!"
Ayato blinked at him innocently.
"What? It was only 800 pages."
Shiro nearly fainted.
The World Has No Idea What Is Coming
While people celebrated the new Steel-type discovery, debated research theories, and trained their Pokémon…
Ayato was quietly preparing.
He knew:Fairy-type was coming.Mega evolution was coming.Eeveelutions were coming.And new regions, new legends, new powers would eventually emerge.
He closed one of Shiro's old notebooks.
With the System…And with knowledge from my previous world…I will reshape this world completely.
Ninetales curled beside him.Gardevoir watched him lovingly.
Ayato smiled.
The world had no idea.
