Liora began noticing small changes first.
Not dramatic. Not alarming.
Just a different kind of tiredness in the evenings. A sharper awareness of her own breathing. A warmth that lingered longer than usual.
She didn't say anything at first.
Aren noticed anyway.
"You're resting more," he said one morning, handing her tea.
She smiled faintly. "So are you."
They shared a look—quiet, knowing.
The handheld device remained silent.
That, more than anything, told Aren they were still on the right path.
Chapter 27 – Confirmation Without Alarms
They didn't rush to a Pokémon Center.
They didn't consult League doctors.
Instead, Liora sat calmly on the couch while Aren checked the handheld device—advisory mode only.
No flashing alerts.
No warnings.
No forced prompts.
Just one soft line.
Life Status: Stable
Probability: High
Liora exhaled slowly.
"So it's real."
Aren nodded, sitting beside her. "If you want it to be."
She took his hand.
"I do."
In the corner, the Suicune lifted their heads, sensing the shift in the household's emotional current.
Chapter 28 – Adjustments
Life adapted naturally.
Training sessions shortened.
Travel slowed.
Routines softened.
Charizard became more protective—not aggressive, just present.
The female Charizard often stayed closer to Liora, tail flame dimmed and warm instead of fierce.
Aren noticed how the Pokémon adjusted without instruction.
Environmental Sync
Household Harmony: Optimal
Nothing felt forced.
That mattered.
Chapter 29 – A Promise to the Unborn
Late one night, as rain tapped gently against the windows, Aren rested his hand against Liora's stomach.
"There's something I need to say," he murmured.
She listened quietly.
"Our power… the sight… it might pass on."
She nodded. "I know."
"If it does," he continued, "we don't make it a burden."
Liora smiled softly. "We let them choose."
The handheld device pulsed once—no text, no data.
Just acknowledgment.
Chapter 30 – Peace Holds
Outside, the city continued as always.
Gyms opened.
Trainers battled.
Pokémon laughed, fought, rested, lived.
No signs in the sky.
No legendary disturbances.
No prophecy screaming for attention.
Just a peaceful world—and a quiet family growing within it.
The Suicune lay together on the balcony, ribbons brushing in the evening wind.
Charizard slept nearby, flames low and steady.
And inside, something new began its journey.
