Surprisingly, Anthony pumped out a strong retort to Brace's harassment. She didn't know that the little dragon slug had it in him. Sure, he may seem a bit dopey at times, but he held a good argument. Brace seemed to back down after that, sneaking in a couple of good last words before retreating. "Almost forgot he had a mission, too. Huh." Hex said, shaking her head out of it. "You know, with the whole "Josh finds his long lost best friends and allies," I guess I forgot."

As the group began to continue along, Josh stood back for a moment, speaking with one of the pokemon at the camp. He clearly had great trust in them. She caught a bit of the conversation between the two. Josh mentioned something about a pokemon named Kiera, who Josh seemed to have great interest in. It must've been one of the pokemon who was missing from the camp. Maybe she was a close friend of Josh before he left the sea.

Hex attempted to shrug, only to realize she had no shoulders. "Yeah.. sorry, Matt." She said, watching as the amoeba lugged the plank around with his slimy fingers. "Maybe when I evolve." Matt continued to carry the plank down the waterfall, slowly hovering down, trying to balance with the long strip of wood, until he arrived at the pit. He laid it across, allowing Terra a safe entrance. She wouldn't be surprised if a Terra spat some insults for them taking so long. Or pounced on one of them.

"I think we could take on the cave." Hex intervened. "I mean, most fairy types could easily badly hurt a dragon type without a lot of struggling [i]too[/i] badly. And with us standing behind her, I doubt there's a pokemon in that cave that could take all of us on at once." This was, of course, assuming there were no sentient pokemon within that cave. A sentient dragon type might have more of a battle plan than attack, attack, defend, attack. But what were the chances of that?
