"Ryu! What's gotten into- HUARRGH!!!"

Ryu kicked me hard in the stomach. I forced myself shrug it off because of an incoming Karate Chop.

I barely blocked his foot meeting my face in time. He was really trying his best to hurt me but I had to stay strong.

"RARARARARGHGHRARGH!!!"

"Tch!"

I pushed back hard and blasted him with a head on Swift.

I didn't have time to check on Eevee because when I blinked his foot was only inches from my face again.

The pain was excrutiating, as my nose gave way into a bloody crack.

"Ah!"

Because of the pain though, I re-captured my focus and dodged the Quick Attack in time.

"Darn, he's so fast..."

I wiped away the blood from my nose to see Ryu charging fast at me again.

I used Fairy Wind but he easily dodged it.

"Damn it!"

I tried to dodge him again but he only caught on fast and punched me in the nose again.

"My nose..."

I got distracted and froze when he was only inches away from me once more.

Eevee's Protect snapped me out of it.

Ryu karate chopped it in half, but I was already one step ahead and sent him flying with a Fairy Wind.

"Was that enough?" I said to myself as I decided whether or not to approach him.

"Is he okay?"

"I don't know. I hope so."

"He may be unconscious but I'm in control of his body now."

"What the- Who said that?"

"I did."

We turned back to Ryu's form still lying in the dirt.

"I don't see any-"

Ryu suddenly sat up staring at us with maroon glowing eyes.

His aura more brighter and intense than before.

"R-Ryu?"

"I'm him but not him."

"What are you talking about?!"

"I'm a inner demon taking control of my host. Simple as that."

"But that isn't possible..."

"Would I be telling you this if I couldn't speak to you now? He just can keep his inner demons in check that taking control is not all that difficult."

"So does that mean Ryu is possessed?"

"Sort of. I only come out when he can't handle pressure or when he's too power hungry. Not a demon of hell if that's what you're thinking. I'm just the inner demon that needs to be tamed. A bit sad right?"

"So you are a part of him, and...whenever he's feeling too much negative emotions you basically turn them against him?"

"Just to take control. Right now all he wants is to protect the girl he likes from harm all the while ridding of the competition. And if any harm were to come to her, breaking him out of my control will only prove to be more difficult. So ribbons..."

"Don't call me that."

"Why don't you just let him have her and we'll just forget this ever happenned? Well what do you say?"

"Uhhh..."

"How about you pretty face?"

"I don't like him that way freak! And if that's how he feels about me getting too close to Sylveon because he's 'another guy and just competition', then there is no way that will ever happen!!"

I have no words or thoughts for what they are saying.

"Ouch...Talk about harsh, but you do realize you're telling me and not him, fluffy bunny?"

" I'm serious! A Pokemon makes their own inner demons and they are a part of them! And if he can't trust me to make my own decisions then my answer is no! I choose who I spend time with! And since we aren't even a couple I don't get why he's even jealous in the first place! It's just stupid!"

"You got me there. But if that's how you really feel then be sure to tell him that if he regains control of his body."

"What do you mean 'if'?"

"I mean if you don't defeat me soon then my control on him will become permanent."

"Why are you telling us this?! You really expect us to believe that?! If that really is in your power...why make a move now?!"

"Just because I admire his urge to fight back, I thought now was a perfect time to take over before it was too late. Besides we love to toy with their emotions, so why not now?"

"Because who stays in control is not up to you. It's up to Ryu to decide who he wants to be. So leave him alone and give us our friend back!!!"

"Hmph! You both are so annoying, I don't understand why Ryu bothers putting up with you two. I should end you both right here and now!!!"

"Don't hold back then!!!"
