Riyo watched him. Listened to him. Stared into those strangely similar red eyes. Was he just trying to get out of death? No... He'd be begging for his life if that was the case. Right? Did he care? Did he actually care? This man who hadn't even known her for a day.. He must've been trying to save himself. "Why do you seem to "care" so much?" She asked with a raised eyebrow as her piercing red eyes stared into his. The grip on his shirt tightened.
Schizo looked back at the chimchars words, one head seemed angry, one had a s**t eating grin, the other just looked crazy. "I'm one of the fastest land pokemon. How fast do you think?"

Still not doing anything to struggle against her grip, Blade stared right back into her eyes while he replied.
"I'm not too sure of the answer myself. But maybe I feel as if I can relate to you somehow... I'm not exactly the greatest person in the world being what I am you know. And I'd hate to see someone let their past... their dark side... or anything along those lines get the better of them when they're capable of doing good."
Pausing for a moment, he then added, "Or maybe it's simply because there has to be someone who cares in most cases. For you, I'm sure your pokemon... aside from Dialga, would want you to do the things I said. If you fall, they'll grieve."
Too bad the same can't really be said about me.
Cringing back a bit from the head that seemed to be angry, Gouku nodded slightly before gazing at the large pokemon looming over everyone.
'Alright... then... just run under and kick it towards the Absol or the trainers... or someone... you gotta be real quick though...'

Riyo could only hide her shock for a moment, then it stuck out on her face like a sore thumb. The eyes that had been so full of hatred before slowly turned into eyes of sadness. What was she doing? "Those are the first kinds words anyone's spoken to me in centuries..." She said to Blade. At least, the first that seemed to mean it. If she killed this man.. She wouldn't be able to forgive herself afterwards.
Dialga didn't seem as displeased as one might've thought. On the contrary, his "master's" emotions seemed to be having an effect on his. Such sadness..
For a moment, Schizo was torn between wanting to show off his speed and wanting to stay the hell away from that big monster. Of course, with his ego, it didn't take long for him to decide. "Alright then. Watch this!" He said to the little monkey and took off like a speeding bullet to that thingamajigger on the ground. With more ease then expected, he reached the object and with little effort, kicked the thing over to Calamity then got the hell outta there.
Calamity caught the ball in his mouth and limped over to Riyo, nudging her to take it.

Watching Riyo there, Blade's eyes softened a bit as he saw the sadness within her. When she had said 'centuries,' he appeared to be slightly confused since he wasn't sure if she had literally meant centuries or if it was just an exaggeration. He was fairly certain she couldn't be older than what she appeared, but he supposed that anything was possible really. And in any case, it just meant a long time for her.
"That's a long time... but at least it's better than never hearing them again," he said softly.
Yelping a bit, Gouku was taken off guard by the sudden rush and ended up tumbling off of the Dodrio's backside as he darted towards Dialga with immense speed. The monkey landed on the ground with a light thud, but he wasn't really hurt from the fall.
Staring out at Schizo with awe, he watched the bird get the ball towards Calamity with relative ease.
'Wow....'

Riyo, who was still fighting her urges, bit her lip as she tried to force herself to let go of his shirt. She had to let him go. This was one thing she couldn't just mindlessly kill.
Then a nudge at her leg caused her to quickly look down. There was Calamity, with that artifact of a pokeball. Half of her wanted to end this whole thing... But the other half wanted to keep up the violent behavior. Her hand wasn't moving.. But she was trying. It took effort, but she was getting there.
"Is that what you really want to do? Will you accept it?" The Dialga asked as he glared down at the group.
Riyo frowned for a moment and forced the artifact into her hand, which started to glow as soon as she picked it up. "Return.. Horatius.." She mumbled as she pointed the glowing ball at him and braced herself.
The large pokemon began to glow, turning into a bright white light, then it quickly shot back into the ball, which caused Riyo to cringe from the blunt force of something so large being forced into something so small.
Afterwards, the absol quickly fell back to the ground, his marks now a normal red like his trainers eyes. But he wasn't the only one to fall back, Riyo did as well. She was exausted.
Then a loud "NYAAA!" Sound could be heard falling through the air. Everyone had forgotten about the poor Skitty who had been atop the giants head.
Schizo, who heard the cries, quickly ran under the skitty and caught her without a second to spare. Upon impact, the small cat pokemon fell unconcious as well.

Relaxing more as Riyo released him, the thief still stayed where he was, watching her struggle against herself to take the ball from her Absol. As Dialga spoke once more, he glanced up at the large pokemon before seeing it being recalled back into the ancient pokeball. It seemed everything was over for now.
Looking back towards Riyo, Blade moved forward as she collapsed along with her pokemon. Frowning a bit, he stepped over to her side and knelt down to make sure everything was alright, as well as to see if he would need to bring her inside the farmers' home again.
"Need any help..?"
Jumping from the Skitty's cry, Gouku darted forward for a moment as if he was going to try to catch her, but Schizo had already taken care of that. Now that Dialga was gone, the Chimchar wasn't frozen with fear any longer. But seeing how Ri-Chan wasn't in danger now, he made his way back towards the trainers, tugging at Blade's pant leg a bit to get his attention.

Riyo looked up at him with a frown and shook her head. "Just... Leave me." She mumbled and turned her head away. She was ashamed. Ashamed to have spilt her guts to a complete stranger... And even more ashamed to let out her dark little secrets right in front of him.
Schizo happily trotted back over to where Riyo and the other man he didn't know were. He had saved the day! He was ready to be praised for his good-doings! He deserved it, right?

Frowning still, Blade let out a sigh before sitting down onto the grass. She wouldn't be able to get rid of him just yet, considering he planned on staying the night in the area which she'd probably have to do as well. He wasn't sure how the residents of the place didn't notice anything that had just happened right now, but he figured that the lady would come out some time to see where they had gone.
Silent, and unsure of what to say, he relaxed where he was while watching Riyo somewhat before looking over at the pokemon beside him and patting the Chimchar lightly. Since he had been focusing on Riyo during most of it, he wasn't really aware of the Dodrio's feat right now. Obviously, it wasn't the same case for Gouku.
'Good job back there! I wish I was as fast as you...'
Sitting close by this trainer, the fire type looked up at Schizo with a big grin on his face.

Courage gave a happy chirping noise as he ran onto top of the railing of the fence to the miltanks. He was happy since this was a day off from there losing street and just a day of relax station he hoped.
Sky ignored how his torchic acted. He had heard about it from another traveler in the woods and had decided to visit himself. He looked around at the building still hardly believing how this place was.

Riyo didn't back up at him. She curled up on the ground and continued to feel sorry for herself. Though, why he was staying still kinda escaped her. He was alive. Lucky. He should be grateful and leave with that, in her opinion.
Schizo proudly took in the compliment from the Chimchar, enjoying the small ego boost. "It was nothing. I could've done it with my eyes closed!" He bragged and looked down at his trainer. A perplexed look on one of his faces while the other two still seemed pleased. "What's wrong with her?" He asked in an annoyed tone. She should be praising him too!
That's when Ri-chan woke up and looked down at Riyo. She frowned as she stared down at both her trainer and the unconcious Absol. There was a deep sadness she felt... Along with some embarassment.
"WOOOOOH DAWGIE!" Came a shout from the distance. There was a man riding a ponyta, gathering up a herd of rather upset looking tauros. Behind him was the lady they had spoken to earlier. She was riding a doduo of her own. It appeared that the tauros had broken through their fence and were now very distraught. Most likely because of Dialga... And they were heading straight for the small group.

Watching over her for a moment, Blade then glanced back up at the Dodrio, noting that he looked fairly confident now as opposed to being completely enraged as he had been when he first saw the bird.
"Wow really!? That's so awesome!" chimed Gouku excitedly before looking at the trainers and shrugging, "I'm not sure... I think I saw her attack my trainer earlier on... but that doesn't really explain a whole lot..."
Perking up slightly at the sound of a distant rumble, as well as a voice, the thief looked around to see what appeared to be a stampede of Tauros, as well as two other pokemon who were mounted by the residents of the land. Dark red eyes quickly widened as he soon realized that they were in the pathway of this stampede.
"Oh crap!"
Nudging Riyo lightly, he tried to usher her to get up and move, "We gotta move away from here."

Schizo blinked and looked over as he heard a strange noise, along with the sound of 100 hooves hitting the ground. The large bird let out a screech as he saw all the tauros coming directly toward them.
Riyo, at the slightly shaking ground and Blade's nudges, looked back quietly. "Oh s**t." She immediately sat up, eyes widening, and jumped to her feet then onto Schizo's back without a second thought. "Jump on!" She screamed to Blade and dug through her pockets, very quickly recalling Calamity back to his pokeball so he wouldn't be squished, then holding a hand out to Blade as the stampede got closer and closer.

After he had nudged Riyo, Blade recalled Gouku to his pokeball; the Chimchar just had an expression of shock and fear from the sight of the large stampede headed their way. Then without any hesitation, he jumped up onto his feet and took the other trainer's hand and pulled himself onto the Dodrio's backside.
"what about your other pokemon?" he asked while glancing at the Skitty, as well as the Psyduck that was by the house. The ones inside of the home should be alright, he figured, but he wasn't too sure about the other two.

Riyo watched as Ri-chan quickly jumped up on her shoulder as she usually did then glanced at the porch where Vex was. He didn't stay there long. He had more common sense then that. Vex, who had been watching them, notice his trainer gesture him inside and quickly did as she requested.
"GO!" Riyo shouted to Schizo who didn't stick around to get crushed. Even if Schizo was fast, there were two people on his back. It slowed him down, but not enough to make him slower than the tauros. The farm couple caught up with them, both smiling as they came upon either side. "You two youngin's wanna help us git these Tauros back in the pin?" The bearded man yelled to both of them. Riyo blinked and shrugged. "If you really need the help!" She shouted.

Placing a hand onto Riyo's shoulder to help himself from falling off of their current mount, Blade glanced back at the stampede only to see the farmer couple come up beside them. Blinking at them, he nodded and went along with what the young lady had said.
"Er... do you have something else I can borrow to ride for now? I only have a Chimchar and it'll probably be easier for her Dodrio if it only had to carry one person!" he asked the two farmers.
