[Nightmare]

It was early in the morning when Carter woke up. Today was going to be an exciting day for him - seeing as he would receive his first pokemon. Thoughts raced through his head at what it would possibly be. His mother had told him to make sure to get enough sleep, but how could he? With what was happening today, it was nearly impossible. He was staring outside, waiting for the morning sun to rise, thinking too much about what would happen that day, and what might happen while he was away from home.

Finally when he saw the sun, a smile appeared on Carter's face. It was nearing the time he'd be able to leave with his friends. Standing, he walked over to his closet, yawning from lack of sleep, and began to search for what he would wear. Normally he didn't care, but today was a different story. Pulling out a short sleeve shirt, a silver jacket, and a pair of blue jeans, he tossed them onto his bed and left the room to take a nice, relaxing shower. Relieved after, he headed back to his room and changed. By now his mother had awoken.

He headed back into the bathroom to brush his light silver colored hair. It was odd for him to have this unnatural color as his natural color, but he enjoyed it. Brushing the ends down, he gave a smile of satisfaction to himself. "Carter!" his mother shouted from downstairs, "Come downstairs!" With a sigh, he did as he was commanded and walked downstairs, setting the brush down as he did.

What awaited him was his favorite breakfast, as well as a bag with some things he would need. Carter smiled and plopped down at the table. "What's all this about?" he said as he began to ate. "Seeing as I won't be able to make you this for a while, I thought it would be nice for you to have it. The bag is something that will come in hand for you on your journey-" she broke to kiss his head, "-so you become a great Pokemon master." He blushed, "Thanks, Mom.." She smiled and nodded before sitting.

Soon enough, Carter was done eating. He grabbed his shoes and socks, slipping them on, then grabbed his bag. "I'm off to wake Dino," he said, knowing that he closest friend was most likely asleep, "Bye Mom!" He ended before walking out. His mother smiled sadly as he left. He walked over to Dino's house and knocked loudly, hopefully to wake him up.
