Chapter - 42 : Surprise
---
Gumshoos, witnessing its trainer's demise, panicked and fled from the battle. Arthur decided not to pursue it. Instead, he approached the severed body of the man and thoroughly searched his clothes, hoping to find something of value or importance. However, the search yielded no results. Arthur then released Fearow from its Poké Ball and instructed it to fly away, granting it freedom from their previous encounter.
Arthur carefully dug a hole nearby and buried the man's body, ensuring it was concealed and wouldn't attract unwanted attention. He understood the importance of not leaving any traces behind, as he didn't want to raise any suspicions or draw unnecessary attention to himself.
Once the task was completed, Arthur took a moment to reflect on the situation and gather his thoughts before continuing on his journey.
He saw Gallade coming towards him a with a bag in his hand , Gallade pointed at the grave as he intended to say that the bag belonged to this man.He reached out and took the bag from Gallade, curious to see what it contained.
Arthur then opened the bag and discovered several magazines, 2000 pokecoins, and 2 potions inside.As he continued his search through the bag, he was taken by surprise and felt a surge of excitement as he discovered a Malicious Armor among the items carried by the man.

Now Arthur understood the entire story behind why he was being targeted. Charcadet was a rare Pokémon, and its market value was a staggering 200,000 pokecoins. The man must have seen him with Charcadet and targeted him with the intention of snatching it.
Earlier, Arthur was concerned about how to evolve Charcadet since he had no money to afford the necessary evolution items. Despite Charcadet being at level 28 and powerful, it was still no match for fully evolved Pokémon.
Arthur called out Charcadet and made the decision to evolve it. Charcadet emerged from its Poké Ball, and Arthur handed it the Malicious Armor. As Charcadet held the armor, its body began to emit a radiant glow, signifying the onset of evolution. After a brief moment, the brilliant light faded, revealing a transformed Pokémon standing before Arthur. It was now Ceruledge, the evolved form of Charcadet.

Arthur was filled with joy as he witnessed Ceruledge, his newly evolved Pokémon, mastering a powerful move called "Bitter Blade" immediately after evolving. Impressed by Ceruledge's new ability, Arthur returned it to its Poké Ball and proceeded to make his way back to the city.
