By the time Aakash sat beneath the massive redwood tree and opened his lunchbox, more than 110,000 viewers were already watching his livestream.Most had tuned in expecting danger—some expecting him to get himself killed—yet what they found instead was a boy eating chapati and aloo bhaji like it was the most normal afternoon on Earth.
The comments reflected the chaos:
[BRO IS JUST HAVING LUNCH IN THE FOREST OF ALIEN ANIMALS][RESPECT. EVEN I CAN'T EAT WITHOUT NETFLIX.][PIDGEOTTO WENT TO HUNT BERRIES LIKE A PET DOG FETCHING STICKS]
People laughed, clipped, shared.Within minutes, "#ChapatiTrainer" and "#FirstPokemonLunchbreak" began trending across India.
But while the viewers joked, others watched with intense focus.
Meanwhile, in the NewsroomsIndia — News24 Mumbai
The screen split in two:Left side — Aakash munching chapati while speaking calmly to his audience.Right side — Dr. Meera Joshi, wildlife expert, trying to process what she was seeing.
Anchor:"Doctor, can you explain what he just said? Pokémon? Predator species? Chrysalis phase?"
Dr. Joshi:"I… honestly don't know. But his explanations are structured, not random. He's describing them like zoological species. He sounds like someone who has studied these creatures."
Anchor:"And the app he mentioned—the Pokédex?"
Dr. Joshi:"If the data is accurate, this could be the world's first proper attempt to catalog these… beings."
Clips of the app interface flashed on screen—simple, clean, functional.
Another anchor cut in:
"We're receiving reports that government officials are reviewing his stream in real-time."
In Police Control Rooms
At the Mumbai Police HQ, officers gathered around screens.
Some chewed pens nervously.Others scribbled notes.
The moment Aakash mentioned:
"Growlithe are often used in law enforcement…"
A dead silence fell.
Then Inspector Vijay murmured:
"…We need these dogs."
Constables nodded like schoolchildren agreeing with their class topper.
Another officer added:
"If these creatures truly bond the way he says… that could change everything."
Someone else muttered:
"Get the commissioner. Seriously."
Back to the Livestream
When Aakash entered the clearing filled with Miltank and orphaned baby Pokémon, the entire chat froze.Not a single message appeared for several seconds—an eternity on a livestream.
Then the floodgates burst:
[COW MOM HAS ADOPTED THE PLANET][LOOK AT THE BABIES][IS THAT A FIRE HORSE??][DO NOT DISTURB THE MILK ORPHANAGE]
People took screenshots faster than they could breathe.
Children watching from homes squealed at the Pichu sparks.Grandparents leaned closer to TVs in confusion and awe.Teenagers clipped every moment for TikTok.
And when the Rapidash pair appeared in the shadow of the forest, flaming manes glowing like lanterns, a wave of stunned emojis took over the chat.
International Reactions
The livestream had started in Mumbai.But now, it had gone global.
USA — CNN Breaking Clip
The anchor tried to remain composed while showing footage of Miltank feeding orphan Pokémon.
"These creatures exhibit maternal behavior similar to certain Earth mammals. This young man in India—Aakash—might be the first person establishing peaceful contact."
Scientists debated.Skeptics yelled.But the common citizen simply watched… mesmerized.
Japan — NHK Panel Discussion
Japanese viewers recognized the Pokémon species instantly—not because Pokémon existed there, but because of cultural knowledge.
One panelist said in disbelief:
"Japan grew up imagining Pokémon… now someone in India is interacting with them like wildlife. This is surreal."
Another added:
"He explained evolution like a biology teacher. Who is this boy?"
Russia — State Network
The tone was colder.
"This Indian teenager may possess unknown knowledge about the creatures. Possibly dangerous. Possibly useful."
But even their analysts softened upon seeing the orphaned baby Pokémon.
"...They behave like normal animals. Mothers caring for young. This changes our threat assessment."
China — Weibo Trending
#CowMom#IndianTrainer#BabyPokémon#HeFeedsThemLunch#BetterThanOurGovernment
Millions watched the clip of Aakash explaining Eevee evolution.Comments ranged from admiration to jealousy.
Some demanded their government find someone similar.Others wanted him protected.
Middle East
A religious cleric on TV called Aakash:
"A demon-touched child who walks with creatures of flame."
Meanwhile, teenagers in the same region posted:
"Bro is literally living the dream."
Europe
The EU Emergency Council replayed the Miltank footage on loop.
The French representative muttered:
"If creatures this gentle exist, our military stance must be reconsidered."
The German representative nodded.
"We hold fire. No offensive actions. Study first."
A quiet consensus formed:
Observe. Adapt. Do not attack unless attacked.
It wasn't peace.But it was the beginning of a more cautious approach.
Back to the Stream — The Mankey and Eevee Moments
When the baby Pokémon left and only three remained, the chat felt that familiar shift—the gut-deep awareness that something important was about to happen.
The two Eevee walking toward Aakash nearly broke the internet.
[THEY WANT BERRIES OMG][EAT WELL LITTLE FOXES][BRING THEM HOME BRO]
Then they hopped into his lap.
Screenshots went viral instantly.People across the world cried, laughed, yelled, or stunned themselves into silence.
Parents watching murmured:
"He'd give them to his parents? This boy… he's not greedy."
Kids shouted:
"I WANT AN EEVEE TOO!"
Even diplomats softened.
But in one particular 3-BHK apartment in Goregaon West—
two parents went completely silent.
Aakash's mother had been watching the livestream since morning.At first, she thought her son was going for a "normal" walk.Then she saw him fighting flaming dogs, feeding alien babies, and explaining biology that no book on Earth had ever contained.
But nothing compared to the moment the Eevee approached him.
She leaned closer to the screen, hand over her mouth.
"Arre… look at that… look at those little foxes," she whispered.
Aakash's father, who had pretended all morning that he "wasn't watching nonsense," was now standing behind her with his reading glasses half-slipped down his nose.
"What are they?" he asked in a low voice.
His wife whispered, "Eevee… I think he said Eevee… so cute…"
The two Eevee sniffed Aakash's hand, their ears twitching.
Then—soft and delicate—they crawled into his lap.
Aakash said softly:
"Do you want to come with me? I'll take you home."
Both Eevee nodded.
And in that moment—
Aakash's mother burst into tears.
"Oh my God… they're coming home… they are coming to our home? Look how small they are!"
Aakash's father—normally the calmest, most logical man—let out a loud, undignified:
"HAH! Good! Good! Bring them! They are lovely! We will keep them!"
The mother immediately turned to glare at him.
"Keep them? Are you mad? What if they need special food? What if they get sick? What will we—"
Her voice broke as she returned her gaze to the screen.
The two Eevee rubbed their heads against Aakash's chest, soft tails flicking.
Her hands shook.
"We have to prepare a small basket," she muttered. "And blankets. And soft lights. And maybe a heater. You know, for comfort."
The father blinked.
"You want to give them a better room than your own sons ever had?"
Without missing a beat she replied:
"YES."
In the hallway, Sagar had been recording his parents' reactions for future blackmail material.
He zoomed in dramatically as his dad wiped tears from his eyes and pretended it was "dust."
Sagar whispered:
"Bhai[1]… you got two foxes as siblings now."
The Mankey Fight — A Turning Point
When Mankey stepped forward to fight Pidgeotto, the entire viewership braced themselves.
Some cheered.Some laughed at the monkey's confidence.Some prayed.
And when Mankey Countered Pidgeotto's Quick Attack—chat messages exploded so fast the screen stuttered.
[MONKEY HAS PLOT ARMOR][BIRD ALMOST DIED][THIS IS A SHONEN ANIME NOW]
But when Aakash knelt beside Mankey and spoke gently, offering strength and guidance, the tone changed again.
Calmed. Softened.Moved.
And when Mankey placed his hand in Aakash's palm—millions witnessed it.
A simple gesture.A bond forming.
A partnership beginning.
The World Reacts to the First True Trainer TeamIndia
"He's not a threat. He's a bridge."
USA
"Recruit him before someone else does."
Russia
"Monitor him. Constantly."
China
"Find someone to copy him. Our people must not stay behind"
Some Nations
"This boy is a demon-spawn, tempting creatures of chaos!"
Others
"He is the savior, the first with the courage to understand them."
But one thing united them all:
Every nation quietly adjusted their military orders.No more blind shooting.No more aggressive search-and-destroy.
Not after seeing Miltank feed orphan babies.Not after seeing Growlithe spar instead of kill.Not after seeing a boy calmly gain their trust.
The world had just watched a teenager form bonds with creatures no one understood.
And he did it with lunch, kindness, and a camera.
A new era wasn't coming.
It had already begun.
