Josh and Matt weren't waiting for too long before Hex and Anthony came down to the lobby. Terra showed up almost immediately after Anthony, and he seemed startled when she came up behind him. She had a small Pokemon in her backpack, which seemed to be what was in the egg earlier.
"Now, I'm assuming you guys are wondering what happened yesterday." Josh said to the group as they left the hotel. "I'll tell you in a moment. Just wait until we're out of Scale City and I'll explain everything. I need to lay low until then. I don't want Zane or his goons spotting me."
He let himself sink to the bottom of the bucket, trying to hide himself. He could hear Terra shouting at a bunch of people to get out of the way. He wondered what was going on, but didn't want to risk poking his head out of the bucket. He just kept lying at the bottom of the bucket, hoping they'd get out of Scale City soon.
