Terra was in a rush to get to the top of the mountain. Josh didn't know why. He had no idea what their goal was, but it didn't seem time-sensitive. If it was, then they probably wouldn't have waited in Scale City for a day before coming here.
They were attacked by a Dratini soon after they started their ascent. It didn't cause them too much trouble, as Terra finished it off quickly, but up ahead was a much bigger problem. There was a hole in the path that hindered their progress. Anthony could stick to the walls, Matt could float, and Josh and Blaze were light enough to be carried by Matt, but they had no way of getting Terra across. There were vines connecting the two sides, but they were old and withered. There was no way they would support anyone's weight.
"Well, this is a problem." Matt said. "Might as well do what I can." He carried Josh over to the other side of the pit, placing him beside Anthony. "You two stay here. I'll go back with the other two and hopefully we'll find a way to get Terra over here."
He floated over to the other side, leaving Josh and Anthony alone.
"So, I guess you're wondering what happened yesterday, huh?" Josh said. "I think I owe you an explanation."
