"Help!" a quiet voice cries out in the darkness of my dream. "They're going to get me! They're going to get me!" I hear as all of a sudden, a speck of light appears, beckoning me towards it. As I feel myself being pulled into the light I hear "I'm going to die if somebody doesn't help me" The voice sounds young, almost childish, and it was clearly feminine. As the light came closer, the voice grew louder, permeating the depths of my dream, repeating the same thing over and over, until the moment came that I was almost engulfed by the light. At that moment the voiced became hushed as it spoke, whispering into my ear "You're my only hope Richard. My only hope" With those last words I was pulled into the light, and pulled into the waking world as well.
It took me about 10 minuets to realize I was actually awake, laying in my room, on my Tortera themed bed, with the buzzing of my Sunflora alarm clock buzzing in my ear. I sat up and looked at the clock, the numbers read 7:10am and the date read 3/25. I took a quick double take as I reread the date, it was March 25th, my birthday. I cheered as I jumped out of bed, waking my sister's Leafeon whom slept with me. I looked over to her, pet her on her head, and let her rest as I ran to the bathroom and took a shower. It was my 18th birthday, and the day Eva, my Eevee, and I set out on our journey. My family makes a big deal about the 18th birthday, because it's supposed to be the day we set out with our chosen partner, and find out what we want to do with our lives. Anyone who doesn't leave on their 18th, is said to be cursed with no passion and no chance of leaving, even if they wanted to.
After my shower, I dressed myself in my green grass stained shorts, my shamrock t-shirt, and my brown, grass stained shoes. These are my favorite articles of clothing, and the main set of cloths I will be wearing until I buy more travel gear when I hit Eterna I dress, I grab my backpack and run down the stars telling myself "The day is finally here.
Downstairs I am greeted by a loud, childish voice "Happy Hoboday Onee-chan"
As she says this I give my little sister a look and ask "Don't you mean to say birthday?"
"No, I mean hobo day" she says, sticking her tongue out at me, making me smile.
"She says that on everyone's 18th, you know that" My mom's soft voice chimed in as she turned around from her spot by the oven. "So are you all set for your journey?"
"Yes Mom" I say, showing her my pack "I have everything I need for the week, and I have enough money for more supplies when I hit Eterna."
"Well then" she said, starting to tear up "I guess all I can say, is good luck" I went towards her and gave her a huge hug. "I can't believe this day has come, it seems like just last week you were 7 and running around naked with the Pokemon, pretending you were a riolu."
"Mom" I say, hearing Daisy giggle "Don't give Daisy any ideas."
Mom laughed and said "Oh, we've learned to keep that from happening, don't worry" and with that I gave her a kiss, an I love you, and a goodbye. Then, just as I open the door, I am greeted by my best friend, and partner for this long trip, Eva, my Eevee. "I see I'm not the only one ready" I laugh as she yips at me, a small green handkerchief around her neck. She then put her forepaws on me, asking me to pick her up, which I happily did as I wave back to my mother, saying "I'll be back soon" With that we left the house. It was when we were outside, however, that Eva jumped out of my arms and ran to her father, an Umbreon. Behind him was my sister, a Pokemon trainer-turned-breeder. She was in an ice-blue tank top and blue jean-shorts. Her and I just looked at each other for a minuet before she nodded and tossed me her Eterna gym badge, a good luck charm as far as I could tell, seeing as they engrave the date on the back of every badge. With that, her and Umbreon left, and I gave a sigh as I continued walking, leaving town for the first time.
