Riyo quietly listened to what he had to say, all the while staring at the relic in her hands. After he finished, she was quiet for a moment.
"How does a monster change?" She asked. A monster. What she had been called since she was little. But.. Looking back at her actions, she could understand why they called her that. She'd done many things before she became a trainer.. Cruel things.. And she never really regretted it, until now.
Freeze stared at the monkey pokemon for awhile before simply turning her head away. "Leave me be. I don't want to be apart of childish conversation."
Vex sighed as he stared at her. He never quite understood why she was always so... Cold to everyone. He was always so nice to her, but everytime she'd either say something mean or hit him. Was it him?

"That depends on them. One thing they can try doing would be to do things that might help repent for what they've done. Try to do things that would help others more than hurt them. I'm not exactly someone who's contributing to humanity a lot of the time, so I can't really say too many examples."
There was a bit of hesitation before Blade continued.
"I guess one could be the fact that I didn't steal everything or anything you had while you were vulnerable, and tried to help you instead... But.. over all I guess you pretty much just have to try to change... even if you're not sure how."
Staring at Freeze for some time, Gouku scratched his head before looking over at Vex a bit puzzled. He didn't do anything bad to the penguin so he wasn't sure why she was acting the way she was.
"Is she always like that?"

Riyo glanced over at him as he spoke of theivery. Well, didn't that just beat all. The thought of him being a thief actually made her giggle a little.
"So, you're a theif then? How ironic..." With a small smile, she sat the relic in her lap next to Fate, reached into one of her pants pockets, and pulled out her wallet. She opened it up and showed him her I.D... And in big, bold letters, it said "CERTIFIED BOUNTY HUNTER".
As Riyo sat the pokeball next to Fate, the small meowth stared at it in disgust. "M'nyah!" Ew! She yelled and jumped onto the arm of the couch.
Vex frowned and nodded. "I know she's gotta be nice somewheres! But..." He paused and looked over at her. "I just don't know wheres.."

At first Blade wondered what had amused her so much, but when she pulled out her bounty hunter badge, he couldn't help but tense up a little with a nervous chuckle.
"Ehehe... well, that is pretty ironic..." he said, wondering if she would try and arrest him. He wasn't even sure if he had a price on himself at the time being, but there was always the chance something was there... Shifting a little, he just rubbed the back of his neck while thinking of what he could do in the case she tried to do something.
Frowning as well, Gouku glanced back at Freeze momentarily before turning his attention back to Vex.
"Well I hope it's sometime soon! I'm sure she'll find that it's more fun to be nice when she gets around to it..."

Riyo smiled and shook her head. "I'm not going to bring you in. Relax." She paused for a moment, then let out a sigh. "I go after the bigger bounties... The ones where it doesn't matter if you bring them in dead or alive.."
Around that time, the woman came in with two plates of mashed potatoes, some steak, and a few veggies to the side. "Here ya go kids!" She said and sat the plates on the table along with a couple of utensils to eat with. It was then she realized that there were now a whole lot more pokemon in the room then before. "Well, lookit' all these little darlin's!" She said with a smile, walked back into the kitchen, and brought out a few plates of pokefood. She sat them on the ground with a smile. "Ima go out back and help Paul finish up. Enjoy!" She said with that large smile of hers and walked back through the kitchen and out the screendoor.
Riyo looked at the plate like a half-starved wolf looks at a huge untouched bear carcass. Her eye twitched a little. She had to pace herself.. Or else her stomach wouldn't be able to take it. Taking a deep breath, she took a fork and knife and started cutting the steak, resisting primal urges to just pick it up and rip it apart.
Ri-chan had about the same reaction to the food bowls on the floor. "MNYAAAAAAAA!" FOOOOOOD! She shouted and almost dove into one, munching down on the tastey treats. Oh, they were soooo good.
Vex nodded at the Chimchars comment with a smile then looked over at the food. "Yaaaay foood!" He said happily and waddled over to one of the bowls.
Fate stared down at the bowls and looked down at her tummy. She could feel it growlin' at her for food. With a slight reluctance, she jumped off the couch and crawled over to one of the bowls where she grabbed some food then leaped away as if she was expecting a trap.
Freeze stayed there and waited. She would get some when they were done since she didn't exactly enjoy dinner table chatter.
Calamity wasn't interested at the moment... He didn't care if he was hungry. He didn't want to eat. Too busy thinking and whatnot.

"Well then it's a good thing I'm not a convicted felon or something along those lines."
Smiling a bit, his attention shifted as the woman came back with food for everyone. It all smelled very good, and he couldn't wait to eat. So as the woman set the plates onto the table, he nodded up to her and gave a small thanks before taking a small bit of the mashed potatoes first.
"Mm.. this is good..." he said to no one in particular before glancing over at the girl and realizing that they had never exchanged names. And when she had shown her id, the part about being a bounty hunter sorta took in all his attention.
"By the way... I'm Blade."
With the food being brought in, the Chimchar bounced happily before jumping off of the coffee table and moving towards one of the bowls to start nibbling at its contents. As he did so, Gouku looked back at the Absol, wondering why he wasn't joining them.
"Is there something wrong with him...?"

Riyo took her first bite of meat and almost died. It was like heaven on a plate.. Or as close to heaven as she was going to get. Oh, she was having trouble restraining herself. "I'm Riyo." She said as she took another bite.
Ri-chan looked over at Calamity and sighed as she took another bite of food. ".. He's just.. Going through things.." She wasn't sure how she'd be able to explain such a situation to him.
Vex wasn't sure what the hell was going on. He had been absent during the whole ordeal, so why Calamity was acting like that.. Was beyond him.
Fate had also been absent, but she didn't know that much about her teammates anyways. She usually kept to herself and expected that they'd probably do the same thing..

Nodding as she said her name, Blade just went on eating his food, not really sure what to say at that point. Besides, anything else that needed to be said could probably wait until they had finished their meal.
Gouku stared at the Absol for a little longer before going back to eat his food. Whatever was bothering the other pokemon, it must have been pretty big. But maybe it had something to do with those bruises he had on his body. Shaking his head, he chewed on some food and glanced at the others.
"He'll be better though... right? He really doesn't look too good right now..."

It didn't take long for Riyo to finish eating at all. Even if she had been pacing herself, it didn't take her long to finish that whole plate. God, it had been delicious. She sat down the plate on the table and layed back on the couch with a big satisfied sigh. It had been awhile since she had a meal made from scratch. Hell, the thing she usually ate were those yummy little ravioli cans.. But they still didn't compare to that.
Ri-chan looked back up at Calamity as she finished her meal and sighed. "He'll be fine.. I'm sure he just needs time to think.." She said to the Chimchar and sat down. She was stuffed.
Vex blinked and looked towards Ri-chan as she spoked. "B-but.. What happened?"
Ri-chan shook her head. "I wouldn't know how to explain it to you... It's a little difficult. All I can really say is it has to do with a monster..."

It took Blade a little longer to finish up his plate, but he ate up all the food eventually. Feeling quite full and content with his meal, he just set down the empty plate and leaned back into the couch to relax. As he did that, he glanced down at the four pokemon that were currently eating, noticing that two members of Riyo's team were staying away from the food right now.
"Monster...?"
Gouku stared at Ri-chan and Vex for awhile, he wondered what the skitty had meant by the word monster. He didn't think there were such things as monsters so he wondered if it just dealt with a big angry pokemon that looked funny... like a gyrados.
Blinking at this thought, he just shrugged a bit before finishing up his food and yawning lightly.

Riyo looked down at her five pokemon that were out. Four eating.. Two weren't. She knew Freeze would wait until they were all done.. But Calamity. She sighed. This was her fault. She looked away from him and thought. There was.. One pokemon she hadn't let out. Because it would be like setting a bull in a china shop. But she'd feel bad if she didn't let him stretch a little. Quietly, she put the spherical relic back in her pocket and walked to the door, pulling out another pokeball. "I.. Have another pokemon that'd probably like out." She said quietly. "So I'm going to let him stretch his legs outside.
Ri-chan was about to say something to the Chimchar, but then noticed Riyo standing up and walking to the door. "Oh! She's letting out Schizo!" Ri-chan said, seemingly suprised. She knew Riyo didn't like letting him out, because she usually ended up with a few bruises.
Vex picked his head up as well. "Yaaay!" He said happily and waddled behind Riyo. He didn't mind the large pokemon, since he was usually nice to him. And he hadn't seen him in awhile, so a greeting would be nice!
Calamity sighed and weakly stood up. He wanted outside anyways.. To take in some fresh air. Especially since it was getting dark. It'd be nice to relax outside for a little while and clear his thoughts.
Fate and Freeze decided to stay in. Fate, because the inside seemed a lot safter, and Freeze, because she was planning on eating after they were all gone.
As soon as Riyo got outside and let her pokemon follow, she tossed the pokeball a little ways away from all of them. The ball opened with the usual white light, but formed a bigger pokemon than what she had previously released. As it faded, there stood a two-headed bird that was staring directly at Riyo.

At the mention of another pokemon to be let out, Blade glanced up at Riyo before standing up as well. He was just a bit curious to who her fifth pokemon was exactly, so he walked closer to the door, stopping a few feet behind the girl so he could just see what it was when it was released from its pokeball.
"Schizo? That's a funny name."
Blinking a bit, the Chimchar went on outside as well with most of the other pokemon and their trainers, jumping onto Blade's back to climb up onto his head. This took the man by surprise, but he didn't try to throw Gouku off of him this time around because of that.
Upon seeing the Doduo, Blade glanced at it before looking at the other pokemon outside that belonged to Riyo, as well as the two that remined inside. Aside from the fact that there were two water types and two normals, it didn't really seem like she had any particular pokemon preference. He could be wrong on that though.
"You've got quite the team..."

Before Riyo could respond to his compliment, the doduo came charging at her as he usually did. Riyo's eyes widened as she jumped off the side of the porch away from everyone else. "C'mon you two-headed overgrown turkey!" She shouted at him as he came at her.
The two-headed bird pokemon let out a high pitched screech from one of it's heads and attempted to peck it's trainer to oblivion.
The rest of Riyo's pokemon just took a seat on the porch and watched the spectacle of their trainer and her petty fight with the large bird pokemon.
Then, something odd happened. Schizo began to glow almost out of nowhere. Riyo's eyes widened as she was knocked down and almost blinded by the bright light. "What the ********?" She asked and watched as the two-headed pokemon grew and well.. Turned into a three-headed pokemon.
As the light faded, there stood a Dodrio, and boy, did he look sadistic, pissed, and overall not happy to see her.
Riyo blinked and stared up at the massive bird pokemon, then coughed and looked over at the porch which was just a little farther away. She had done her homework. She knew that Dodrio was a... Fairly angry pokemon. And one wrong move could end up with her pecked to death. Now. This wouldn't be so bad if Schizo hadn't been her strongest pokemon next to... Well.. That monstrosity. She could've just called one of her other pokemon over to help. Buuut this wasn't the case.
"Nice.. Large bird." She said and started to scoot away. What had caused him to evolve like that. Moreover, what had caused him to be so angry? She had a few ideas... All that confinement during the time when her emotions were on a rampage. Maybe that had effected him.
The large bird was not pleased at Riyo's quiet retreat. He quickly stopped her from running off by stomping down one of his large feet on her torso, which made her cringe slightly.

Jumping a bit as the two headed bird attacked its trainer almost immediately, Blade stepped back while staring at what was going on with widened eyes. Aside from the sudden charge, he was surprised by the fact that the Doduo evolved all of the sudden before resuming its assault on Riyo.
What the hell is going on here?!
Momentarily stunned from this rather bizarre situation, he soon shook his head to snap out of that state as he started to try and think of a way to get the Dodrio off of Riyo. He knew Gouku was probably too weak still to even attempt to fight it off so that was out of the question.
"Hey you! Stop attacking your trainer!" shouted the chimchar while sitting up straighter on his trainer's head and shaking a fist at the much larger pokemon.
Also knowing that attacking the pokemon with his sword or anything else would just wind him in a lot more trouble, the thief just began to move towards the Dodrio while holding up his hands to show that he didn't mean any harm.
"Easy there... no need to get rough now..." he said softly to try and maybe soothe the big bird, as well as hoping that he wouldn't aggravate it somehow.

Riyo looked over at Blade and tried to stay calm. "I.. Wouldn't.." She mumbled to him quietly and looked up at the bird who had two heads staring down at her, and one at the approaching man. Something was wrong. He looked.. Manipulated somehow. "s**t.." She mumbled and wrapped her hands around his giant leg.
Ri-chan gasped and started to run over to Riyo as she saw the now even bigger bird trying to squish her like a bug. "Schizo!? What're you doing?!" She yelled and charged at him. the big bird was rough, but he'd never do anything like this!
Vex fell back on his rump and stared at what was happening. He.. Didn't understand! Did.. Did evolving do that to a pokemon? His innocent little eyes couldn't take it, so he covered them.
Calamity growled as he saw what was happening and quickly stood up. He could feel his markings burning. He knew what was happening. And if someone didn't calm the situation, it was only going to get worse.
Schizo looked down at the small skitty and kicked her away as soon as she approached. This was DEFINITELY not him. He wouldn't do anything to hurt his teammates, no matter how crazy he got.
Riyo's eyes widened as she watched the skitty fly and tried to squirm out from under the dodrio's foot, which probably made things worse.
The dodrio quickly turned his attention back to his trainer and stomped harder, causing her body to twitch, and causing the ancient spherical relic to roll out of her pocket a few feet away. Riyo looked over it in alarm. "OH s**t!" She screamed as the ball started to glow.
