Roy intended to recall the Annihilape with Poké Ball, but the Annihilape, which had been lying on the field, used one hand to support itself on the ground and its two legs trembled as it stood up.
This scene left the audience completely bewildered.
Wait, buddy? You're really tough!
Even Reiji on the opposite side was somewhat confused. He had already exhausted his own Staraptor, yet he still couldn't defeat Roy's Annihilape?
After defeating Staraptor, Annihilape, disregarding its current Poison state, swung its fists to declare its absolute dominance in the Arena.
"Roy's Annihilape has actually stood up again! He hasn't lost his fighting ability yet; what incredible fighting spirit!!"
The host's tone became excited; he had hosted many battles, but one like the Annihilape was truly rare.
The Annihilape Mind Communication with Roy telepathically, indicating that it could continue fighting. Seeing the monkey's stubborn eyes, Roy recalled its Poké Ball.
Reiji clenched his fists, but after a while he withdrew his Staraptor and threw out his last Poké Ball.
"Go, Electivire."
A flash of red light
A creature with yellow arcs of electricity flashed across its body. It was strong, with thick arms and a pig-like snout. It had two tails that looked like electrical wires, and a pattern on its back that resembled a two-wire socket.

Reiji's Electivire is of a higher level than the previous two, Drapion and Staraptor, so it seems to be the right Trump Card.
Roy also remembered that Shinji had an Electivire, which was also the opponent's Trump Card. It seems that the two brothers' Trump Card are exactly the same.
After defeating the Staraptor, the Annihilape's Poison effect was triggered again, further reducing its already low stamina after taking a hit from the Brave Bird.
Roy could see that his Annihilape was only holding on by sheer willpower, and that if it fought any longer, it might succumb to the effects of the Poison.
But he knew even better that the Annihilape was enjoying the battle, preferring to fight to the very end rather than retreat.
If that's the case...
"Annihilape, use Drain Punch."
Upon hearing Roy's command, Fighting type energy reappeared in Annihilape's hands.
As the Annihilape charged forward, the Thunder Beast's fists and the two tail-like wires behind it crackled with electricity, poised to strike.
The Annihilape dodged both of the Electivire's fists and the long tail that stretched out from behind it, but it was still tripped by the other tail and fell to the ground.
Electivire wrapped its tail around Annihilape and unleashed Thunderbolt. The intense Spark shock struck Annihilape, taking away its last bit of strength.
The Annihilape's Drain Punch was only a few centimeters away from the Electivire's body, but those few centimeters felt like an insurmountable distance.
Ultimately, the attack didn't land on Electivire, nor did it restore any stamina to the user.
After being struck by a Thunderbolt attack from Electivire, Annihilape finally lost its ability to fight and collapsed to the ground, revealing its round eyes.
Seeing that the seemingly invincible Annihilape had finally lost its fighting ability, Reiji silently breathed a sigh of relief.
But he soon realized that this was only Roy's first Pokémon.
Seeing the Annihilape fight desperately, it ultimately lost.
The entire room fell silent.
What they saw was a warrior who fought to the death, and their eyes were filled with respect.
"Good job, Annihilape. Now it's your turn to help out your companions."
Roy used the Poké Ball in his hand to recall the Annihilape, and then took out another Poké Ball from his waist.
"Please, Misdreavus."
A flash of red light
The Misdreavus appeared in the Arena.
"Dream!"
The audience cheered when they saw the Misdreavus. Having watched many of Roy's battles, they knew exactly what Roy was up to.
Roy did not disappoint them. He channeled the Ghost Power Netherworld into the Misdreavus's body and uttered that familiar slogan.
"Hear my call, Misdreavus, Bond Evolution!!"
Enveloped in Ghostly Purple energy, the Misdreavus emitted a purple evolutionary glow, successfully Transform into its Speed Forme, Flutter Mane.
Reiji couldn't understand Roy's actions at all. He knew about Mega Evolution, but what was this Bond Evolution of Roy's?
After finally defeating the Annihilape, why does this second level feel like hellish difficulty again?
However, it wasn't a time when he could understand it or not.
A beam of earthy yellow energy had already condensed in front of the Red Orb of the Misdreavus (Flutter Mane), and a burst of Earth Power was launched towards Electivire.
"Electivire, get out of the way!"
Reiji stopped hesitating and quickly gave the order.
The Misdreavus (Flutter Mane) unleashed skill after skill, forcing the Electivire to run around the entire field.
In the previous match, Annihilape was defeated by the opponent. As the leader of the team, even though Annihilape has not yet acknowledged her identity, she still wants to Payback Annihilape.
Watching Electivire being chased and beaten by Misdreavus (Flutter Mane), the audience felt that the situation looked somewhat familiar.
It seems like this was the case when the first match between Drapion and Annihilape started, but now it's the other way around.
Furthermore, Roy wouldn't give Electivire a chance to get close to Misdreavus (Flutter Mane).
Flamethrower, Earth Power, Dazzling Gleam, Shadow Ball... Misdreavus (Flutter Mane)'s skills seem to be thrown at Electivire without restraint.
Finally, while Electivire was dodging, it accidentally stepped on the ice that Annihilape had stepped on earlier and fell flat on its face.
The Misdreavus (Flutter Mane) quickly unleashed more than ten small Shadow Balls, which, with Roy's help, slammed into Electivire's rear end.
After Electivire got up, it used Protect to block the last two Shadow Balls.
But it was to no avail. The Misdreavus (Flutter Mane) once again hurled two large Shadow Balls of different speeds at Electivire.
Seeing this, Reiji could only command the Electivire to dodge while approaching the Misdreavus (Flutter Mane).
After waiting for Electivire to finally get close to Misdreavus (Flutter Mane), Misdreavus (Flutter Mane) dodged and instantly flew dozens of meters away.
The distance that Electivire had just managed to close instantly became a joke.
In the end, Misdreavus (Flutter Mane) used a Dazzling Gleam to defeat Electivire.
After defeating Electivire, Misdreavus (Flutter Mane) reverted to Misdreavus, and its aura surged.
Roy discovered through System Scan that his Misdreavus had successfully broken through to level 60, which is the level of a beginner Elite Four.
There was an unexpected surprise.
The smile doesn't disappear, it just moves on.
After seeing that his Trump Card, the Electivire, had also lost its ability to fight, Reiji became completely dejected. Now, all he had left was a crippled Drapion.
With the outcome decided, Reiji also released his severely damaged Drapion.
Roy then replaced his Misdreavus with Lampent, who then finished off the last Drapion.
Less than a minute after entering the arena, Reiji's Drapion was drained of its last bit of strength by a Flamethrower from Lampent, completely losing its ability to fight.
