-"You don"t seriously expect me to believe you"re a young prodigy who learned to become a Pokemon Expert through YouTube videos and the internet ..."-"The dark web, it was the dark web!", Atiqo reacted strongly, as if it was a world difference.
-"Who cares! I saw you have a PokeDex, I am sure you called that expert while I was away and he told you what you needed to know. And it"s fine. A bet is a bet, and I accept my loss."
Atiqo got struck speechless. How did the situation turn out like this?? There wasn"t an expert behind him! Well, the PokeDex really did help him out a bit, but it could hardly be considered a living being!!
He didn"t know wether to laugh or cry, but hey, in the end, she still accepted it, so why bother about the details?
While Atiqo still had to decide wether he had actually won or not, Cecile was sighing on the inside. She still didn"t believe a single cent about Atiqo"s nonsense, and even though she couldn"t understand how he got to know about this super secret knowledge according to her dad, it just wasn"t possible that a boy her age was smarter than her!
She was raised in a gym leader"s household! She knew a lot about Pokemon and battling! There couldn"t be anyone her age, especially not a boy from a common background who could outmatch her in terms of knowledge. While her pride didn"t let her agree with Atiqo even a single inch,... her guilt did.
What troubled her all this time was that she didn"t intend to tell her family about Arthur being her source of information, even if it was just nonsense. Yet it slipped her mouth, and unconsciously or not, it hung heavily on her mind.

She owed him, somehow. So she just decided to play along with him for a while longer and "believe he had an expert behind him".
-"Errie?", Eevette looked confused, and she still didn"t understand what these humans were talking about.
"I got it!", a loud voice shouted out suddenly.
Cecile"s focus went back to "Arthur".
-"Now that we know what Evette"s type affinity is, we can plan accordingly!"
-"Plan what?"
-"Plan her training strategy! Huahuahua! Using Jolteon as our goal, I, the unmatchable Pokemon Master Rodriguez will carve out the most brilliant training regiment for your Eevette! My limitless experience in Pokemon battles will help you create .. the most .. perfect ... path .... *thump*"
Atiqo felt another ent.i.tiy urgently pulling at his consciousness, dragging it into the familiar darkness. He could imagine who that was.
("Well, it was still fun while it lasted, haha. Time for a little ... nap ...*yawn*")
-"Arthur, Arthur! Are you okay!"
Cecile got scared and immediately run towards Arthur"s body. While she was unsure about wether to call for her aunt or not, a weak voice answered her call.
-"I am ... here. I am still here. Everything is .. fine."
Arthur woke up and he blinked with his eyes a little to get used to his surroundings.
-"My G.o.d, do you know how scared I was?! What happened just now?! Should I call for aunt Daisy??"
-"No, no, it"s fine. I just had a small break hehe, ... on the ground."
Seeing Cecile not believing him, he continued.
-"Well, I might have exhausted myself a little here, don"t worry about it. I will just take a nap in but a moment on my bed. It"s gotten quite late already haha."
He scratched his back in embarra.s.sment, and finally Cecile let go of it. Arthur was back, but he couldn"t tell Cecile the reason he just returned was to make Atiqo shut up! He couldn"t do anything while in his observing mode, and it had exhausted him too much to even speak up a little earlier.
But it was just annoying to see Atiqo talk about ... such embarra.s.sing stuff!
It felt like being forced to watch somebody make unfunny jokes! He couldn"t let Atiqo ruin his image in other people"s minds! When he felt Atiqo"s consciousness had opened a gap somewhere, Arthur took a hold of that chance and didn"t let go! After some struggles his mind finally re-entered his body!
-"About your super awesome training for Eeve-"
-"Forget I ever said that! It was just a joke, haha, just a funny joke!!"
-"Ehh, sure."
-"Hrmp, now that I am back-"
-"What do you mean with back?"
-"I meant ... now that my back ... could rest up, we can talk about the problem at hand!"
Atiqo quickly corrected himself.
-"What do you mean? Which problem?"
-"The problem of how to break out of this house, and the part where I am still alive while doing that."
