Ash wakes up

Ash's eyes shoot open.

Memories of his dream from the night before hung tightly within, threatening to break free at any moment.

"Come on..." the trainer thought, images of Silvia dancing about in his head. Taunting the trainer, all it did was frustrate him to no end. "I just want to be with her."

Reluctantly, he got up and did a double take. Sitting proudly on his table, was the black hat from his dream. Beside it, was a note.

Your dream. Take it, or move on. Your call.

-Silvia

Ash let out a deep breath. Whatever choice was made here, the trainer was going to have to live with it.
