Josh and Matt headed back to the hotel, meeting up with Anthony. "So, now we just wait for Hex and Terra to get here." Josh said. "Shouldn't take them too long. I think Hex was just behind us." Just then, he heard a voice. The same voice that had been haunting his dreams ever since he escaped from the reef.
"I want every inch of this city searched. I swear, the first one to come back without information will regret it."
It was Zane. For months, Josh had convinced himself that Zane wouldn't come on land to look for him, but now, here he was. "Matt, quick, hide me!"
"Umm..." Matt frantically looked around, before his eyes fell upon a large wooden crate. "Please be empty...please be empty..." Thankfully, it was. Matt placed Josh inside, and closed the lid. Josh's only source of light was the small gaps between the boards, which also allowed him to see what was going on outside.

The sound of hooves filled Josh's ears, and moments later several Rapidash came into view. They were pulling a wagon containing a large tank of water. Inside this tank was, as Josh had expected, Zane.
The carriage came to a halt in front of Matt and Anthony. "Hello there." Zane said, smiling at them. "I'm sorry to interrupt, but I'm looking for a few Pokemon. I haven't seen them in a while, and I think they might have gotten lost."
A Clauncher crawled out of the water tank, and placed several pictures in a line in front of them. The one on the far left was a picture of Josh, and right next to it was a picture of Keira. There were also several other Pokemon, all of which Josh had seen before on the reef. There were at least twelve photos in total. "Here they are." Zane said. "Have you seen any of them?"
"That's certainly a lot of people to lose." Matt said, looking at the photos. "I'm sorry, I don't recognize any of them."
Zane turned to Anthony. "How about you?"
Josh hoped Anthony would be as believable as Matt was. It would be really bad if Zane found out he was lying.
