Roy Still Hasn't Arrived? Thanks to Boss "Living with Style" for the Bonus Chapter Celebration
"Abandoned!"
He abandoned his own world and willingly became a Ghost type Pokémon, all for the sake of being able to communicate with Roy and protect Roy with his own fury.
Now he can stay by Roy's side forever, he is no longer plagued by rage, and he can bring Roy victory.
At this moment, Roy felt no joy at the evolution of Primeape; instead, he was filled with lingering fear and self-blame. He blamed himself for not Frisk Primeape's emotions sooner and for his negligence.
Now he is no longer concerned with the Annihilape's aptitude, nor with whether the Annihilape can receive the blessing of his system.
Rather, it was that figure who would fight to the death for him without retreating.
"I'm... I'm sorry, Annihilape."
The Annihilape shook his head, gently wiping away the tears from Roy's eyes, indicating that Roy didn't need to feel guilty. He hadn't done anything wrong; it was all the path he had chosen, and it had nothing to do with Roy.
And now it's successful, hasn't it? He felt a powerful force within his body.
Those scarlet eyes looked exceptionally gentle when they gazed at Roy.
"Abandoned"
And... the Annihilape discovered that he could finally communicate with Roy.
"That's right, I can understand what you're saying now."
A Black Aura appeared in the hands of the Annihilape. It was the same Black Aura that would enrage him whenever he used it before. The difference was that he no longer controlled the Black Aura; now he could completely control it.
He won't let Roy down again in this afternoon's battle.
More importantly... he can be with Roy forever, forever...
Roy calmed himself down and opened the System Scan the current information of the Annihilape.

If we don't count the evolved Flutter Mane, Annihilape's level has jumped to the highest in the team, level 57.
The Individual Values also changed from 21 to 25.
This kind of evolution is a true leap in the level of life.
But now is not the time to celebrate; the afternoon match is about to begin.
Roy looked at the Annihilape extended his fist towards it.
"Are you ready, Annihilape?"
"Abandoned!"
The Annihilape stretched out its fist and bumped into Roy.
Next came the round little hands of Snorunt, Misdreavus, Drakloak, Dusclops, and Lampent. Even Palossand bowed its head and placed its golden shovel on its head together with the hands of all the Pokémon.
The Arena of Ever Grande City
"Steven, where do you think he could have gone? Why did he have to disappear at this time?"
"You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask?"
Steven and Wallace paced anxiously in the preparation room, as restless as ants on a hot plate.
The first match of the second round of the main tournament was between Roy and Tobias.
But Roy still hasn't arrived, and he's not replying to my Holographic Communication. What's going on?
Steven then took out his Communicator to ask the hotel manager, only to be told that Roy had rushed out in a hurry that morning and no one knew what he had gone to do.
"Yo yo yo! Today is the second round of the Edge Cup main tournament. Let's wait and see which sixty-four contestants will advance to the semifinals! We're all waiting!"
Onboard the aircraft, the host Lei Ye's passionate voice echoed throughout the arena and the spectator stands.
Roy and Tobias also appeared on the Arena's big screen.
"Let's welcome our first group of contestants today, the Pokémon Trainer who wants to vindicate Ghost type Pokémon, contestant number 99 from the Rustboro Academy, Roy!!!"
However, our Roy is in a bit of danger today. His opponent is Darkrai, who defeated all his opponents using only one Tobias in the preliminaries and preliminary rounds.
If Roy fails to defeat Tobias today, he will be eliminated from the semifinals. Let's ask Roy to say a few words...
After the host finished speaking, it was discovered that Roy did not seem to be at the command post; the opposing command post was empty.
Only Tobias was on the opposite command post.
Where did our Roy go?
The audience members on stage shared the same question as the host.
"Could it be that Roy is too scared to come?"
"I have a feeling it's hopeless, but it's better to just surrender from the start than not come at all."
"Can you please stop arguing? Roy will definitely come! He definitely will!"
Hearing the slanderous voices coming from beside her, Erika clenched her fists. She believed that Roy would definitely come, he would definitely come, and Roy would definitely be able to defeat that Darkrai.
Second Kiku looked at his daughter. Erika used to speak softly, but now she was actually talking back loudly to others?
He was pleased with this.
But why is it because of Roy?
Time passed second by second.
Agatha, sitting on the judges' panel, also looked displeased. She allowed Roy to lose; that was fine, everyone loses before.
But she absolutely would not allow Roy to be a deserter.
Drake and Damaranch were also awkwardly fidgeting with their fingers, neither of them daring to provoke Agatha.
Just as the countdown began, someone in the audience shouted:
"He's here! Roy's here!"
This sound immediately drew the attention of everyone in the audience to the source of the noise.
Roy made a rather unusual entrance; he rode his old, Roadster Bicycle straight out of the audience entrance tunnel.
However, there is a barrier in front of the entrance for spectators, which is to prevent spectators from climbing over the barrier to enter the battlefield.
Roy put down his Roadster Bicycle, took a quick step, and climbed over the railing before hurrying to his command seat.
Sorry to keep everyone waiting.
Roy took two deep breaths of fresh air, still maintaining a smile, and waved to the Drone camera on the field.
While Roy may not be the strongest player, he is definitely the most engaging contestant in this year's Edge Cup.
Seeing Roy's smiling face on the big screen, Tobias's eyes remained calm. He had tried to persuade him yesterday, but the other party wouldn't listen, so he couldn't be blamed.
Hopefully he'll be able to laugh again soon.
