[Josh]
 Anthony mentioned that Josh might not have to use the bucket, now that he's evolved.
"I'm not sure." Josh said. "I mean, I'm a lot heavier now. It'll probably be more difficult to levitate, if anything."
"That shouldn't be a problem." Matt said. "Your psychic powers were probably enhanced upon evolution. Besides, it can't hurt to try."
Matt was right. It was worth a shot. He began to focus, trying to use his psychic powers to lift himself out of the bucket. It was surprisingly easy, considering how much trouble he had with it before.

 At this point, the Pignite came out of the kitchen with their pastries. Josh began to eat one, and he did so at a normal pace, unlike Anthony, who inhaled his in one bite. He noticed that the others seemed to be saving some of their pastries for later. Josh decided to do the same, just in case this mission ended up taking longer than they expected.

 Josh couldn't help but overhear the conversation between Spruce and the Pignite. Anthony had apparently heard it as well, since he repeated what they said to Josh.
"I heard them, Anthony." He said. "I just hope that Keira got there after it froze up, and if she did end up getting frozen, I hope there's a way to reverse it."

 Josh shuddered a little when he heard Anthony mention Zane.
"I...prefer not to think about that." he said. "That was easily the most terrifying experience I've had since I came to Allure."
He knew Zane was still hunting him down at this very moment. He would find them eventually, and he could only hope that he'll be prepared when it happens. Just in case, though...
"Just so you know, Anthony, to get to the reef, you need to go to the Treasure Town beach and head south. If I end up getting captured, I'm counting on you to get me out of there."
