"You're saying that now, but just wait a while and you'll see." Brace said. "Zane's made some of the toughest guys I know have completely break down."
Josh glared at Brace as he swam away. He was about to go after him, but then Anthony reminded him of the mission. "Oh! Almost forgot about that." He turned to Eddie. "Look, as much as I'd like to stay, we've got a couple more friends who are stranded on the other side of a pit back there."
"Well, we've got some planks of wood in that tent there." Eddie said, pointing to a large tent near the waterfall.
"That's good news." Matt said, heading over to the tent. "I'll go get one."
"What's this mission of yours, anyway?" Eddie said.
"We're headed to the top of Mt. Dragoncoil." Josh said.
"Well, if that's the case, I've got good news and bad news. The good news is, there's a tunnel up ahead that I think leads to the top of the mountain. Or close to it, anyway."
"And, the bad news?"
"It's crawling with wild wild Pokemon. I went up there a while back to see what I could find, and I barely made it out."
"Shouldn't be too hard for us to get through. We've got a Fairy-type with us."
Matt came out of the tent, dragging a long wooden plank behind him. "It's a little heavy. I may need assistance." He looked at Josh, Hex, and Anthony, none of which had any arms. "Nevermind."

Just as they were about to leave, Josh stayed back for a moment. "Where's Keira?"
"Um...Well, you see..."
"Where is she, Eddie?"
"I...don't know. We got separated."
"What?"
"Marty's search team found us while we were headed through Birchwood Forest. The current was strong, and there was a fork in the river. Keira went one way, and the rest of us went the other way. Marty went after her, and the rest of the search team went after us. We don't know where she ended up."
Josh looked at the ground for a moment. Zane had shown them a picture of Keira, so he was probably still looking for her. Still, she could be anywhere. He hoped that he'd find her soon.

Once they'd gotten back to where Terra and Blaze were, Matt put the plank over the gap. "That should get you across." He said.
Josh turned to Anthony. "So, what do you think about the tunnel Eddie was telling us about? Do you think we'll be able to handle all of those wild Pokemon?" He said.
