September 18, 2025 – 9:30 AM IST – Unnao, Uttar Pradesh
The morning sun had just begun to climb above the trees that bordered the outskirts of Unnao. Inside the heart of Deepak Rawat's futuristic base—camouflaged beneath the farmlands like a dormant sci-fi titan—a storm of activity had begun. Eva's soft blue glow reflected off metallic walls and transparent panels as she assisted Deepak in preparing for the most consequential meeting of his life.
The video call from the Tokyo headquarters of The Pokémon Company had ended barely four hours ago. Now, the entire legal documentation and licensing framework was being drafted by Eva and her parallel AI legal teams.
> "Finalized contract uploaded, Deepak," Eva announced. "Estimated licensing value: 4.3 billion Indian rupees, with exclusive rights to full-dive virtual Pokémon experiences for the next 20 years."
Deepak stared at the digital document hovering before him, floating in mid-air. He reached out and used a hand gesture to scroll. Every clause had been calculated to give him maximum creative freedom, minimal interference, and long-term sustainability.
He looked at Eva. "Let's sign it."
With a swipe, his digital signature etched itself onto the glowing page. The document vanished into Eva's encrypted servers. Simultaneously, a verification ping was sent to Tokyo.
> "Contract signed and confirmed by The Pokémon Company," Eva said. "Congratulations, Director Rawat."

10:45 AM – Family Breakfast
Deepak sat down with his mother, Sanno Rawat, at the dining table in their base quarters. She was still getting used to this place, with its strange moving walls, automatic food dispensers, and temperature-controlled environment.
"Aaj subah subah kya important kaam tha? Sab kuch theek toh hai na?" she asked, serving him aloo paratha with butter.
Deepak smiled. "Sab kuch theek hai, Maa. Main Pokémon duniya bana raha hoon. Asli waali. Jisme log andar jaa sakein, jee sakein."
She blinked. "Game banane waale ho? Bada wala?"
He laughed. "Sabse bada wala."
From the other room, his sister Khushboo peeked in. "Bhaiya, sach mein kya? Mujhe bhi ek jaga chahiye waha. Main Gym Leader banna chahti hoon!"
"Tumhare liye toh ek pura shehar banwa dunga," Deepak said, grinning.

11:30 AM – Project Genesis Begins
Eva beamed an enormous 3D projection in the main R&D hall of the base. A digital map of the Pokémon world spun slowly—from Kanto to Galar to the newest Paldea region.
> "I've initiated the subdivision of teams into the following departments," Eva said:
1. World Design Division – Terrain, towns, environments.
2. Character Neural AI Division – NPCs with emotional intelligence.
3. Pokémon BioEngineering Division – Animations, consciousness frameworks, behaviors.
4. Full-Dive VR Tech Division – Brain-computer interface, safety measures, and neural data mapping.
5. Story Arc Department – Narrative depth, choices, consequences, global syncing.
Engineers, AI specialists, game developers, and neuro-interface experts—all digitized and synthesized by Eva from datasets across the globe—appeared as holographic avatars, each with custom job profiles. Deepak had given her one simple instruction:
> "Hire the best minds on Earth—and beyond."

5:30 PM – Special Deliveries
Earlier in the day, Deepak had orchestrated something significant. With Eva's help, he designed a limited batch of HoloBand Prime devices. These were not just tech marvels—they were symbolic offerings.
Two of them were personally dispatched to New Delhi, addressed to:
1. Prime Minister Narendra Modi – Featuring a personalized AI assistant fluent in Gujarati, Hindi, and English, equipped with national security encryption protocols.
2. President Droupadi Murmu – Hers included AI with multilingual fluency in tribal dialects, Sanskrit, and Hindi, with a built-in presidential security layer.
The bands had Ashoka Chakras engraved and shimmered with the words: "Bharat First. Future Ready."
A third band was couriered to the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, Yogi Adityanath, with similar personalization. All three were accompanied by handwritten letters from Deepak, thanking them for their leadership and offering his invention in service of the nation.

10:00 PM – Closing the Day
Deepak stood on the observation deck of the base, looking up at the stars. The land was quiet, but the world was buzzing.
A soft breeze carried the scent of earth and opportunity. In the next year, he would build not just a company or a game.
He would build a universe.
> "Eva," he said. "Initiate Project PokéVerse."
> "Confirmed. Project PokéVerse has begun."
