Marshadow recounted how he saw Roy directing the Ancient Gengar to Dynamax in the mountains.
When Marshadow talked about how he punched Roy in his dream through the chest and killed him, he even seemed a little embarrassed, and his voice Minimize.
Listening to Marshadow's explanation, Roy roughly understood what had just happened. No wonder the Annihilape was so ferocious when it saw Marshadow.
After hearing that Annihilape Giratina flying in the dream world with a single punch, Roy patted the Annihilape beside him.
Sure!
He never expected that the Annihilape would beat up Giratina in his dream.
It's likely that when Giratina first pulled him into the Distortion World, it was Primeape's Annihilape that had the idea of defeating Giratina.
Although the Annihilape standing beside Roy was a little embarrassed by Roy's praise, he had also heard Marshadow's words and knew that the other party was playing tricks in his dream. But even if it was in his dream, he couldn't hurt Roy!
Although the misunderstanding was cleared up, Marshadow knew that he had gone a bit too far in testing the Annihilape, who was still staring at him. He also didn't want the Annihilape to revert from a pure heart to an evil one.
However, as a god, he couldn't apologize to an ordinary Pokémon, so Marshadow stroked his chin with the hand in his shadow, and after thinking it over, he could only use that thing to make amends.
"Alright, alright, you've passed the test this time."
A black energy appeared from Marshadow's shadow and flew towards the Annihilape.
Is this the reward for the Annihilape that passed the test?
Seeing the black energy in the sky, Roy inexplicably thought of Drakloak's blessing on Rayquaza back in Sootopolis City.
Marshadow is considered Legendary Pokémon beast, so is this also a blessing from Legendary Pokémon?
The Annihilape was initially reluctant, but seeing Roy nod at him, he figured he had nothing to lose, so why not take the opportunity?
Ultimately, the Annihilape accepted the dark energy from Marshadow.
The black energy passed directly through the Annihilape 'Annihilape white, gas-like fur and entered its brain.
Suddenly, a strange memory appeared in the Annihilape's mind. Not long after, the Annihilape opened its eyes again, feeling the memory that had just flooded into its mind.
Roy didn't notice any changes in his Annihilape, so what exactly was Marshadow's gift?
To Roy's bewilderment, Annihilape's body, like Gengar, vanished into the shadows, finally emerging from his shadow.
The Ancient Gengar stared blankly at the Annihilape that had appeared beside it, its large, purple face utterly bewildered. "How did you manage to sneak into the shadows?"
Before the Ancient Gengar could figure it out, Annihilape disappeared into the shadows again, appearing in Misdreavus's shadow, startling Misdreavus so much that it almost threw away the Shadow Ball it had just conjured.
The Annihilape originally wanted to burrow into the Snorunt's shadow, but before it could act, its body uncontrollably withdrew from the Misdreavus's shadow and returned to the space inside the Palossand's body.
Roy was also puzzled by the Annihilape's ability to freely enter and exit the shadows.
Is this Phantom Force?
That's not right either; Roy remembers that Annihilape can't learn this skill.
Moreover, the Phantom Force involves infiltrating into the shadows and suddenly appearing when it's time to attack, unlike the Annihilape which infiltrated two shadows in succession and was then forcibly withdrawn.
Roy opened the system panel and, through scanning, discovered that the Annihilape had two new skills in its skill bar:
Skill: Shadow Steal
Effect: Infiltrates the opponent's shadow to attack. Steals the opponent's ability boosts.
Skill: Endeavor
Effect: Attacks the opponent relentlessly. Although the user is near death, they will deal damage equal to their current HP to both the opponent and the user.
Holy crap!?
Shadow Steal and Endeavor?
Roy never expected that Marshadow would actually pass on his unique skill to the Annihilape.
Shadow Steal, Marshadow's exclusive skill as mentioned before, but this skill also grants the Annihilape the ability to infiltrate into the shadows.
Roy then turned his attention to the second skill on the panel. Roy knew about the "Endeavor" skill, which was also one of the skills that made the Annihilape known as the strongest solo fighter in the game. Even if he couldn't beat the opponent, he could use Endeavor to take them down.
Shadow Steal can be understood as being taught by Marshadow, but Marshadow's stats didn't show the "Endeavor" skill earlier, so how was it taught?
Recalling what Marshadow had told him about the Annihilape fighting him relentlessly in the dream, Roy guessed that the Annihilape must have learned this desperate Endeavor in the dream.
Both skills are extremely powerful.
So, I died once in my dream and got two skills in return. If I die a few more times, will I be able to learn Marshadow's exclusive Z- Soul-Stealing 7-Star Strike?
Without Marshadow's signature Z-Move, can Annihilape learn it?
Fortunately, Marshadow couldn't hear Roy's inner thoughts, otherwise he would definitely have used the Shadow Whip to spur Roy on.
How many times can you die?
Wouldn't I be chased and beaten in the dreams of the Annihilape every day?
Marshadow didn't know whether to say the Annihilape had a strong learning ability or something else, how come the Annihilape had already mastered his unique skill in such a short time?
But then he remembered that the Annihilape even learned skills in its dreams, so he wasn't surprised anymore.
Watching Roy get along well with his Pokémon, Marshadow, a god, felt a pang of envy for no apparent reason, without even Frisk it himself.
He usually had nothing to talk about with his three goofy colleagues, so if Roy became his colleague...
Marshadow had an idea, and the more she thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. Marshadow wanted to get closer to Roy, but the Annihilape blocked Roy's way again.
Although Marshadow had just taught him a new skill and ability, one thing is one thing, and he still remembers the scene when Marshadow punched Roy through the chest.
Seeing this, Marshadow could only ask Roy through the Annihilape:
"Human, your Pokémon possesses a pure heart, but Ho-Oh needs me to find a human. I think you're quite suitable; why don't you become the Rainbow Hero?"
In Marshadow's logic, Roy's Pokémon possess pure hearts, which means Roy is the human with the purest heart.
Besides, Roy smells nice, unlike his three clueless colleagues. Anyway, he was tired of searching, so he might as well give Roy a special privilege and let Roy be his colleague.
It's definitely not because the other person smells nice!!!
Absolutely not!!!
