[Riskz has healed up after the recent battle with the Royal guard's assault, and he is training himself in the outskirts of town.
Riskz as now also busting a fancy ankle scarf on his left leg. Riskz's ankle scarf has a indigo, red, and yellow zig-zag pattern on it.]

[Outskirts of Onryx City. The buizel(Riskz) is in a circular decently-sized field with much dirt in the center with grass around the edges of the woods, in the center a dummy stands on an upright log]

Riskz Monologues: *huff* *huff* (im glad this entire thing is over now, I heard the news that the royal advisors were given another            chance, I don't know why exactly, but whatever.)
        *continues to punch and kick the dummy to increase his strength*
         (But... but something has been bothering me...)
         *Riskz gets a flashback of the Charmeleons and the Houndour almost killing him* 
         (Yeah... I remember. If Joop hadn't helped me out I could've been dead)
         (Thanks Joop. Never again can I let this happen, what if Joop or anyone in that matter, comes to my rescue?)
         (I must be prepared to deal with this, to deal with multiple enemies!)
         *Riskz stops punching and stands still to concentrate*
         *Riskz quickly dashes sideways leaving after image clones of himself but only for a short time!*
         *Huff* *huff* No good! *Riskz stops to regain his stamina as his clones immediately disappear behind him*
          Shoot it won't work! I need my clones to stay there longer so my "double team" works! 
          (if I can pull this off successfully, then I can take some attention off of myself in a battle!)
          *Riskz sits down on a sideways log to take a brake; as he looks into the light-blue sky!*
          *Riskz takes a deep breath* (I wonder whats' goin' on in town?)
*As risk gets up and turns backwards towards town, he is suddenly introduced to a Larvesta!* *Riskz stumbles back; with his arms covering his face in a defensive manner, almost losing his footing*
Riskz: GAH!? *after reacting riskz chuckles in relived* | Imp: hey are you the "Riskz"? I heard about | Riskz: Uhh.. yes who are you, if you don't mind me askin'? | Imp: the names "Imperialis", but I prefer to be called "Imp"! | Riskz: Uhh "Imp"? ok! what brings you here? | Imp: just curiosity (she replied), I wanted to meet the new Solacer is all. | Riskz: well ok (he smiled), Neat scarf by the way! I like it (he complemented)
Imp: oh thanks, your scarf is pretty cool as well!(She remarked), So what're you up to out here? | Riskz: Just some self-training, nothing interesting (he said in a modest smile), I want to be prepared for my next fight ya know? | Imp: Oh is that what you were doing? You really need to work on your moves then. | Riskz: I know! (he replied with an embarrassed look on his face)
Riskz: Wait! were you watching me!? | Imp: maaaybe? (she said in a naive manner) |
Riskz: So were you there, when that whole fight thing was goin' on? | Imp: Sure was, we showed em' whos' boss! You should have saw me and Rem! | Riskz: whos "Rem"? | Imp: hes a close friend of mine (she said in a proud tone) | Riskz: He sounds interesting! (he replied)
???: Sss-s-s-s-s | *Riskz jumps at the sudden sound!* Riskz: WHOA! who?- | Rem: Sorry to scary ya, my names Rem, nice to meet you My buizel friend (he greeted in a friendly manner) | Riskz: Oh uhh, you must be Rem right? | Rem: Mhm! (he replied in agreement) 
Imp: Rem!? what are you doing here? | Rem: sorry Imp I couldn't just let you leave on your own like that | Imp: I was fine, (she blushes with embarassment), I thought you were back in town square? | Rem: You know I couldn't help it Imp! (he replied) | *Riskz holds back a chuckle, as he watch the two argue* | Imp: huh? why are you laughing Riskz? | Riskz: Nothing (he replied),
       (Riskz: They make a good pair)(He thought while holding back a smile)
Rem: lets go to the Town PUB!(He urged) | Imp: But I barely got to talk to him! | Rem: (As stubborn as always), what am i gonna do with you Imp,(he said to Imp), | Riskz: Nah its ok, I was actually headed there afterwards anyway, | Rem: oh? well that is great(he replied with excitement!) 

[The group travels through town on their way to the city PUB]
*On the way there, a shiny-tottering-spinda catches Riskz's attention!* 
*Riskz catches the spinda before she toppled over* Riskz: Whoa, are you okay? | ???: Huh!? *The spinda shakes her head in recollection* Oh! why uhh... thank you handsome!(she said in a smooth flirtatious way) | *Riskz quickly helps her back up straight, as he blushes at her quote* Riskz: Umm not problem | Rem: shes a "Spinda"; they usually totter around like that, | Riskz: oh! (he responded in understanding)
???: Say whats ur' name stranger? | Riskz: "Riskz", and yours? | ???: Nah-ah-ah! thats off limits, unless you wanna REALLY get to know me?(she taunted) | *Riskz uncomfortably stepped back as he didn't understand her humor* | Imp: Hey quit the jokes Wasabi!(Riskz catches Wasabi's name as Imp mentions it) | Wasabi: Ok, ok,  I was just playin'! names "Wasabi"! | Imp: Yeah, he knows that now, I just say it!(she said in an irritated tone) | *Wasabi  holds her paw out requesting a handshake...* | *Riskz nervously accepts and shakes her paw* Riskz: N-nnice to me you(he said in a nervously hesitant manner) | Rem: No need to feel frightened Riskz, she means no harm I promise | *Riskz trusts Rem and begins to feel a little more confident* Riskz: Nice to meet you! Wa...Sab.... | Wasabi: You better learn my name "Buizel-boy" | Riskz: Heheh my bad(he chuckled in a nervous manner) | Wasabi: Ha! why are you so tense Riskz? Im just kiddin', lossen up a little! | Riskz: sorry.... Wasabi!(he gave an embarrassed blush) |  Riskz: we were just headin' out to the PUB! | Wasabi: really? Ajvar and I were on our way there two! | Riskz: "Ajvar"? | Wasabi: Well... where is he? *She looks around her to find Ajvar, and sudddenly Ajvar pops from behind her and Riskz notices* | Riskz: Oh there he is! | Wasabi: There you are AJ! | Ajvar: Hello sir!(he greeted Riskz) | Riskz: Oh! uhh Heya lil' dude!(He greeted back) | Wasabi: This is Ajvar! hes my "kid" | Riskz: Oh? | Wasabi: Yep!, I taught him everything I know! But don't mess with him alright? or I'll give you a good wallop! got it? (She aggressively said with a smile) |
Riskz: Understood (He replied while scratching his head, with a nervous look)

[Later... in the PUB, tree-stomp tables; with white fancily knitted-silk tablecloths, surrounded by small long chairs, fill the room. there is a front-counter where a Swanna resides and fixes juice for thirsty pokemon]
*Riskz upon entering the room, he glanced over everything curiously, as he and the group approches the front-counter*
Riskz thinks: (ok keep your cool this'll be fine, just say hello, then let the others go ahead and talk!)(he thought anxiously)
Rem: I'll take care of things guys (he said in a pleasent tone) | Avjar: thank you kind-sir(he said in a pleased voice) | Rem: you're welcome young-Zoroa!(he replied) | Riskz thinks: (Avjar is so kind)(he happily thought) | Rem: you guys take a seat! I'll get us drinks, want anything? | Riskz: I'll just a take a Sitrus berry juice! | Imp: Oh! Get me the Occa berry Soup! | Rem: ok! | Wasabi: Hey i'll help you carry the drinks back Rem! | Rem: Thanks Wasabi! (he gladly thanked wasabi) 
*The group goes to sit at a corner table near one of the front windows; which were free since not much other pokemon was in the PUB at the moment* 
*Riskz, Avjar, and Imp sat at the table. After a brief wait, Rem followed by Wasabi; who was carrying 5 drinks and approached the table to give everyone their drinks* *Riskz got Sitrus berry juice, Imp got Occa berry soup, Avjar got Oran berry juice, Rem got himself oran berry juice as well, and Wasabi got pecha berry slices*
*Rem, Imp and Avjar chatted up a storm, while Wasabi struck a conversation with the quiet Riskz*
Wasabi: so since you're new here how did you do on your first mission ah Riskz? | 
Riskz: Oh, well I did... ok enough I guess...(he replied with a somewhat concerned face, not maintaining full eye contact with                     Wasabi)
          *Riskz thinks about his recent fight in the Onryx City battle*
           To be honest I don't think I did really well, I tried to save two oddishes and almost got killed. 
Wasabi: Heh give your life for two lives, what a warrior! (she said in a humorous fashion), You know...  a lot of pokemon are afraid of dying, thats no mystery. but you? you took that fear away from those poor-oddishes and saved their lives,
*Riskz looked up in surprise* Riskz: huh?
Wasabi: you should feel great! that took alot of commitment! (she added) *She gives riskz and impressed grin*
Riskz: heh I guess, but If Joop hadn't saved me I would've been a goner, you should thank him (he said in a flattered chuckle!)
Riskz: what about you wasabi? | Wasabi: Me hun'? it was a piece of cake! they didn't stand a chance against us! Everytime they touched Avjar I knocked all there teethes out! | Avjar: Boss is so strong!(he added- suddenly braking from the other conversation) 
Riskz: You guys are amazing! | Wasabi: Dang right we are, hun'! | Imp: But nobody can out do Me and Rem!, right Rem? | Rem: hehehe! | * All sound is drowned out of Riskz's head, as he look at his new laughing-friends! The mere sight of them made riskz feel happy and for a moment- forget his troubles as he started feeling more comfortable about visibly smiling*

*By the time the group finished talking, the moon began to rise as Riskz exited the building with His friends*
  Wasabi: welp, We had our fun, but we must get goin', keep up the good work Handsome!(she said with a gaze as she pinch Riskz's cheek) | *Riskz flinched*
Riskz: YOW! that hurt! | *Wasabi turned to the doorway of the PUB* Wasabi: Avjar! come on! | Ajvar: Coming Boss! (he replied as he finally ran out the door) *He stumbles a bit as he peeks his head back into the Pub* Avjar: Oh. thank you for the drink! | Rem: you're welcome (isn't he the sweetest!) | *Imp gives Rem a suspicious gaze* | Rem: what Imp? | Imp: nothing! (she said with a blushed frown!) | Imp:  Yo Riskz! | Riskz: yeh'? | Imp: stay cool!
| Riskz: Will do! take it easy! you too Rem! (he shouted back)

*After saying his goodbyes and leaving, Riskz quietly made his way back near the outskirts of the City*
[Riskz is surrounded by a forest, and he is sitting with is arms crossed over his right-knee; which is supporting his head, and he is near a cliff side- gazing out at the setting sun in the orange dusk-sky; which is slowly turning purple. A soft breeze flows over Riskz's body making his furry afro sway a little bit]
Riskz monolgues: (Wasabi is right, I did the right thing. Its strange, When I feel my life is in danger... that is when I feel the most           alive)
       (But still... I couldn't handle those attackers alone, at least Joop had my back, either way I must become stronger! )
       I have things to protect...
       But I'll worry about that tomorrow, *Yawn!* 
       *Riskz climbs the nearest tree, and rests on one of the tree's branches; lying on his stomach to fall off to sleep*
