Chapter - 52 : After 11 months
---
After successfully capturing Gible, Arthur exited the tunnel, returning to the interior of the mining mountain. Arthur gave the command for Gallade to employ Psycho Cut to demolish the tunnel, ensuring that no one else could access the area.
As the tunnel collapsed, an intriguing green-colored stone emerged, revealing a leaf-shaped structure within. Arthur immediately recognized it as a Leaf Stone. Overwhelmed with excitement, he realized that his luck had finally turned. Not only had he found Gible, but he had also obtained a valuable Leaf Stone.
With his mining tools safely packed, Arthur made his way back to the hotel. Along the journey, he received some welcome news: the forest had been reopened, and all the soldiers that had been stationed there had left the city. This brought a sense of relief to Arthur, hoping that no evidence linking him to recent events had been discovered during the soldiers' search.
Filled with a glimmer of hope, Arthur looked forward to exploring the forest once again and continuing his journey without the constant fear of being caught or monitored.
In his hotel room, Arthur decided to dedicate a significant amount of time to training his newly captured Gible. He recognized that Gible was relatively weaker compared to his other Pokémon, Gallade and Ceruledge. Understanding the importance of balance and growth within his team, Arthur decided to focus on developing Gible's skills and helping it reach its full potential.

The next day, Arthur made the decision to sell the leaf stone he had discovered in the collapsed tunnel. Recognizing its value as a rare and sought-after item, he managed to sell it for 15,000 pokecoins. This significant addition to his funds brought his total amount to 25,000 pokecoins(Here , 10000 pokecoins were from PYRO ORDER remanants )
With his newly acquired funds, Arthur made a wise decision to invest in essential items for his journey. He purchased potions to restore his Pokémon's health during battles, full heals to cure status conditions, Pokémon food to keep his team nourished, and revival herbs to revive fainted Pokémon. These supplies would prove invaluable in his future encounters and expeditions.
Arthur decided to camp in the forest rather than staying in a hotel in order to completely focus on training rather on travelling back and forth from city to forest. He spent most of the money , only left 1000 pokecoins with him for emergency.
For the next 11 months, Arthur dedicated himself to intense training in the forest. He spent countless hours honing his skills as a Pokémon trainer, pushing himself and his team to their limits. The serene surroundings of the forest provided the perfect backdrop for focused training sessions and bonding moments with his Pokémon.
During this time, Arthur's Gible evolved into Gabite, showing significant growth and strength. His team's synergy and cooperation improved as they faced various challenges in the forest, battling wild Pokémon and honing their battle strategies. Arthur's determination and perseverance never wavered as he relentlessly pursued his goal of becoming a formidable Pokémon trainer.
