The final day of Professor Oak's Summer Camp arrived far too quickly.
Kids ran around exchanging goodbyes and contact info, but three girls stood quietly at the entrance of Oak's laboratory—Sabrina, Serena, and Daisy Oak. Their eyes kept drifting toward the stairs, waiting for someone.
Footsteps sounded.
Ayato came downstairs, carrying his luggage.
All three girls' expressions softened, but their sadness was obvious.
"You're leaving…"
Serena tugged gently at her skirt.Sabrina avoided eye contact, her psychic aura trembling slightly.Daisy held her hands together over her chest.
Ayato could immediately tell what they were thinking.
He smiled and reached into his pocket.
"Here," he said, handing each of them a small slip of paper.
All three blinked in surprise.
Ayato's phone number.
"You can call me anytime," he said. "Video chat, messages—whatever you want."
Serena's face flushed bright red.Daisy's heart skipped a beat.Sabrina stared at the number as if it was the most precious object she ever received.
"A-Ayato… thank you…" Serena whispered.
"This means… more than you know," Daisy added softly.
Sabrina's voice trembled."I… will call you often. I promise."
Ayato then took out one more item—a small, neatly bound booklet.
"This is for you, Sabrina."
She blinked. "What is it?"
"A psychic control manual. It helped me a lot. You'll be able to fully stabilize your powers with this."
Sabrina's eyes widened, shining with gratitude."Thank you… Ayato… I'll master it. I swear."
With final goodbyes and lingering glances, the three girls watched as Ayato boarded the transport back to Sinnoh.
Serena hugged the paper close.Daisy held it against her heart.Sabrina touched it to her forehead, eyes closing.
They would definitely call him.
Every day if they could.
Return to Sinnoh — Ayato's New Project
Once home, Ayato immediately approached his father, Shiro.
"Dad, can you get me several Eevee? I… have some theories."
Shiro raised a brow."What kind of theories?"
Ayato smirked."Future evolutions. A lot of them."
Shiro froze.
Then—
"ARE YOU SERIOUS?!"
Within a week, thanks to Shiro's connections and rare resources, five Eevee arrived at their estate.
Ayato scanned each one with his system:
4 Eevee — Elite Qualification
1 Eevee — Champion Qualification
Ayato nearly jumped with excitement.
"These will be perfect."
Four Months of Research
For the next four months, Ayato buried himself in his personal lab.Grayfia brought him meals.Hana supervised safety protocols.Shiro peeked in constantly, dying from curiosity.
Ayato recreated the exact conditions needed for multiple Eeveelutions:
Psychic-rich environments
Darkness resonance chambers
Moss-rock simulation
Ice-rock simulations
Fairy-type emotional resonance tests
Finally… after countless trials…
The results came.

The Thesis That Rocked the Pokémon World
Ayato compiled every detail—evolution triggers, elemental resonance data, bonding factors, stability tests, comparison analysis—and published the Eevee Evolution Thesis under the Kamisato Research Division.
And the world lost its mind.
Within hours:
Professor Oak called.
Professor Rowan requested data copies.
Professor Birch demanded a live demonstration.
Shiro burst into Ayato's lab, waving the thesis wildly.
"Ayato! How?! How did you figure out all this?!"
Ayato answered with calm elegance.
"I just followed the evolutionary logic, and the Eevee with high potential reacted perfectly."
Shiro stared at him like he was looking at Arceus itself.
A Flood of Calls
Ayato's phone rang nonstop.
Cynthia: "Ayato! You're incredible!"Caitlin: "Congratulations! I'm proud of you… really proud."Juniper: "This will change the field forever."Sabrina: "Thank you… I read everything. You're amazing."Serena: "A-Ayato, I saw the news! Congratulations!!"Daisy Oak: "Everyone at Grandpa's lab is talking about you!"Lusamine: "As expected of the boy I admire so much. Well done, Ayato."
One after another, the girls who cared about him reached out.
Ayato could almost feel the warmth through the phone.
A Family Celebration
At lunch, Grayfia placed a hand on his shoulder.
"You've done well, Ayato."
Hana kissed his forehead proudly."I knew my son would change the world."
Ayato smiled, feeling a swell of confidence.
Another breakthrough.Another step forward.
His journey had only just begun.
