"Yes." he answered, his head screaming 'no' within. But the trainer wasn't in a listening mood at the moment. No, he wanted a change.

"Wonderful." the grunt remarked, handing over the cap. Ash accepts it, letting his gaze focus on her for a moment. She did look kind of cute but at the same time, boys might be her thing. "Oh right. I'm Silvia."
