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.

Looks like we've got another wave of spambots.

Just a little heads up, exams are coming up soon, so I might not be able to post very often.

I'm back.
I'll get IC posts up as soon as I can.

I probably won't be able to get a post up for a few days. Just assume Josh and Matt are following the rest of the team.
"Josh, wake up!"
Josh opened his eyes upon hearing Matt's voice. With all of the thoughts going through his head that night, he didn't get much sleep. He yawned as Matt put him in the bucket and drained the water out of the tub. "Here." Matt said, handing him a pastry.
"You eat it, Matt. I'm not hungry." Josh said, pushing it away.
"I know you're a little stressed about what happened yesterday, but you need to eat something." He split the pastry in half. "At least eat this. You need your energy today."
Josh reluctantly took the pastry, and took a bite out of it as they headed down the stairs. They waited in the lobby for Hex and Anthony, hoping they'd wake up soon.

You could use the post under it.
God damn it, now Evanist is stuck in the well.
"You know what? I like that plan." Ralph said. "I'm not too thrilled about being so close to the city, but as long as it's hidden well enough we shouldn't have much trouble from other people."
As long as Connor agreed, they might have found a perfect place to set up. Now, they just needed to pick a cave. There might be plenty nearby, since they lived in a pretty mountainous area. Unfortunately, Ralph had no idea where to look.
"So, do either of you know of any good caves nearby? Because I sure don't."
The question was directed to both of them, but he only expected a good answer from Tony. He was the one who suggested it, after all, so that probably meant that he knew there would be a cave nearby that they could go to.

"We need to get out of Scale City as soon as possible." Josh said. "We don't stand a chance against Zane. If he finds me, it'll end badly for all of us."
Anthony headed into the hotel, and Matt and Josh following him. They went up to the Shelgon and Grovyle behind the desk. "We're with Terra as well." Matt said. They gave him the key to room 252.
"Someone might come in here tonight and ask where I am. If they do, could you not tell them I'm here?" Josh said. After a nod from the Grovyle, he smiled. "Thanks."
The first floor was probably the least sanitary place Josh had seen, second only to a few places in the reef. The second floor, although not nearly as bad as the first, still had some missing tiles, and mold growing in a few places. The third floor was completely different. It was absolutely spotless, and everything from the floor tiles to the torch handles appeared to be made of gold. They walked along the hallway until they came across a door labelled "252", and went inside.
Inside, there was a bed that appeared to be extremely comfortable. There was also a solid gold bathtub, which lifted Josh's spirits a little. At least he wouldn't be confined to the bucket. Matt filled it with water and put Josh in before lying down in the bed and drifting off to sleep. Josh tried to calm down and get some rest, but he couldn't get much sleep no matter how comfortable he was. Every time he managed to fall asleep, he would be awoken by nightmares similar to the one he had back in the cave. Zane was here in Scale City, and the others that escaped could be anywhere. He wished that they hadn't followed him. Now they were in just as much danger as he was. He knew he had to find out where they were hiding, because if he didn't, Zane would.

Moments after they had put on their suits, the alarm went off. They were all told to grab a weapon and follow Commander Black to the helipad. Calvin looked over the weapons, unsure of which on he was going to pick. There was a sword, a mace, an axe, a bow, a dagger, and a morning star sitting in front of him. He picked up the sword, and followed the commander. He got into the helicopter with the others, prepared to take off.
"If we set it up in the city, there's no way it'll last long. They'll rip the whole damn thing apart before we can even fortify it." Ralph said. "Yes, we'll probably have to build it ourselves, but it'll be less vulnerable and easier to defend."
Tony seemed to want to stay neutral. Normally, Ralph wouldn't mind, but at the moment, it seemed like they were at a stalemate. "Come on, Tony. You're the deciding vote. What's it gonna be?" He left the city for a reason. There might be a few people in the forest who would be willing to kill them, but compared to the city that was nothing. He hoped he wouldn't have to go back.
