Chapter - 44 : Leave the city
---
Despite diligently following his plan for two months, Arthur couldn't help but feel frustrated with the lack of progress in his training. The limited time frame and the relatively weak wild Pokémon in the outskirts of the mountain hindered the growth of both Gallade and Ceruledge. Arthur knew that fully evolved Pokémon required a significant amount of experience to advance further, and he felt the limitations of his current training environment.
Last week, the situation in the city calmed down. The accomplice of the man who was after Arthur was caught, but he was killed while attempting to escape. They found the item they were searching for in their hideout.
Learning about this, Arthur felt relieved and grateful. He was afraid that the man's accomplice might come to him to seek answers regarding his partner's disappearance.
Arthur was thankful that his own involvement with the situation had ended. With the city now peaceful and the threat seemingly gone, Arthur still waited for a week to board train baack to the Rover city . He just wanted to make sure that he was not being followed by anyone.
Next morning, Arthur checked out of the hotel and made his way to the train station. He boarded the train bound for River City, eager to leave the troubled city behind. During the five-day journey, he remained vigilant, cautious of any suspicious individuals. Finally, the train arrived at River City, and Arthur let out a sigh of relief. He was grateful to have reached his destination safely and was ready to continue his journey, hoping for a more peaceful and uneventful experience ahead.

After settling into his hotel room, Arthur realized that he had only 200 pokecoins left. He booked the room for six months, knowing that he needed a stable place to stay during his final year of journeying before returning home. As he lay on the bed, his mind wandered to the fact that it had been three years since he left his home. He reflected on how this year marked the culmination of his journey as he aimed to participate in the city-level pokemon competition, a requirement for admission to pokemon colleges.
In this competition, eligibility was open to all 16-year-olds, regardless of their educational background. Arthur saw joining a pokemon college as an opportunity to gain valuable resources and support. Throughout his journey, he had come to understand the importance of having access to resources to aid in pokemon training and development. Determined to make the most of his final year and seize the chance to join a pokemon college, Arthur felt a renewed sense of purpose and dedication.
Arthur realized that he needed a third pokemon to meet the requirement for participating in the competition. With only two pokemon in his team, he understood the importance of finding and training a new companion. Determined to overcome this challenge, he made it his priority to search for a suitable pokemon to join his team from tomorrow.
