Chapter Twenty One
Pokémon Center (10:09 p.m.)
As our heroes have settled in the Pokémon Center of Mistralton City; Ash has trouble sleeping about meeting Reshiram and what is his destiny is supposed to be.
Dawn: Is something wrong Ash?
Ash: Huh? Umm no it's just I'm having a hard time sleeping, that's all.
Dawn: You know if you have something in your mind, I'm always here for you.
Ash: Thanks, goodnight.
Dawn kissed Ash on his cheek and said.
Dawn: Goodnight.
Ash's Dream
Ash: Huh where am I.
Then a big red ball of fire appeared out of nowhere.
Ash: What is that?
He hears a roar coming from the ball of fire.
Ash: Reshiram?
Reshiram: I sense great danger ahead of you Ash, including Dawn. I supposed that I have no choice but to reveal myself to you after you have reach Iccirus City and earned your seventh badge there. Dragonspiral Tower is right near the city on Route 8.
Ash: Okay, I'll make sure nothing happens to me and Dawn.
Reshiram: I'll be waiting for you two.
Reshiram has disappeared from Ash's dream and he wakes up with Dawn waking up too.
Dawn: Did you just dreamt about Reshiram?
Ash: It saying to go to Dragonspiral Tower, yes.
Dawn: Then we better go to the gym for your sixth badge.
