Blue skies and a bright morning sun shone over the entrance of Camp Pikachu, which brought out the color of the forest around it. A slow breeze blew through the area, ruffling the tree's leaves and cooling the area and the few kids and adults there. For most people, it was a great day that should be spent outside. Coming down the dirt road leading to the entrance, a white family sedan rumbled along, heaving itself along the bumps in the road at a slow and steady pace, determined to get there on time.
Benjamin Frazier sat upright and stared out the window of the vehicle, putting on his backpack which he had placed beside him. He was borderline excited and giddy but controlled himself as the car approached. It really looked as advertised.
“You excited honey? It's the first time you've ever gone to camp, especially one as unique as this. Your father would have been proud of you for trying something new." His mother said reassuringly as she parked in front of the entrance.
"Yeah. This camp looks exactly like the brochure." He said in a resigned tone as he looked at the camp arch, which had a Pikachu on it. He just sighed, wishing his dad or any of his other siblings were here. But he knew more than everyone there, that they all were too busy for him. He adjusted his black and green slip-on shoes, put on his backpack, and slipped out of the car quickly.
“Bye Milly, see you at the end of the summer. I’ll miss your annoying voice.” He said snarkily but in a mild sense.
“Yeah, gonna miss you around the house, ya Poke-nerd.” Milly, his older sister by two years, scoffed as she opened the window, poked her head out of the car, and stuck her tongue out. Benjamin quickly pushed her head back into the car with a playful shove. He walked to the back of the car and grabbed his duffel bag. It was red, with a Pokeball symbol between the two black stripes that were under the smaller handle.
"Calm down you two." His mother calmly spoke up, stopping the hot-headed teens from arguing further.
Benji didn't hate her, but he did have some problems with her that he wished she ceased doing. It was the same as the other siblings, as he was very much into Pokemon, a rare interest for a teenager. He'd be teased about it by all of his siblings, but Milly especially.
“Yeah, whatever, I’ll just have fun without you and the others. Bye, Mom.”
“Bye honey, enjoy camp!” His mother said as his parents said goodbye, closing all the windows and driving off down the dusty road, the sun glinting on the roof. He saw the car ornaments swinging, including the Pokeball he picked out. It had a special place in his heart, from when his brother bought him something for his birthday along with a Porygon-Z pin. He had placed it on his backpack along with the plethora of others.
He was going to miss his chaotic family, even if he wasn’t noticed all that often.
Now Benji was just chilling and taking in the atmosphere and nature around him, especially because Pokemon stickers were plastered on some of the trees. He walked over to get a closer look at one of them, an art deco-style sticker. He stepped on a stick, which snapped with a loud crack. He was surprised and flinched a bit, but composed himself and got closer.
“Huh, nice Mantyke sticker. Seems like I’m not the only kid into Pokemon around here. It’ll be a nice change of pace, especially from…”
His face flashed a bit of pain before he immediately smiled. It was a new day, and he needed to be positive. He'd be starting a new adventure, without his siblings or any of his schoolmates, and that was based on his favorite interests. He glanced around at the small number of people there, clutching his duffel bag and still wearing his heavy backpack.
“Well, from back home. It’s gonna be a fun summer, that’s for sure.”
