Roll 4 | Video
Video 1: February 21
[The video clicks on to show Ryou, except...he looks a lot more upset than he normally does, doesn't he?]
You know what? I'm tired of being pushed around and used as a perfect little 'landlord' by a spirit who was happy to see my friends comatose or dead. I'm tired of being blamed for what the Spirit did even though none of it was my fault. I just want a break, but I can't even get that here because I had a Carnivine chasing me everywhere I went and jumping me for a month!
[Behind him, a Hisuian Zoroark and a Chimecho can be seen. The Chimecho looks concerned and floats forward as if to interrupt, but the Zoroark just shakes her head no. Let Ryou vent, it's fine.]
Video 2: February 22
[The next day heralds another video from Ryou, except he's now looking a lot more sheepish than yesterday.]
I'm sorry about yesterday, I shouldn't have made that public for everyone to see. I just had a lot on my mind.

... However, even then, I hope you can still take some consolation in the fact that your mind is still whole and your own, at the very least.
*did his expression soften a bit on that last bit? maybe you imagined it...*

[Ryou manages a slight smile.]
I don't have the Ring anymore, and I told one of my Pokémon to stop me if I ever become possessed again, so I think I should be safe now.

An understandable precaution, and certainly most Pokemon are quite strong enough to carry it out.
That said, they do tend to instinctively be inclined to obey their trainers, so if it's a concern of yours, I'd recommend working with a couple to train them to discern what is and isn't you acting in your right mind. While it can take some effort it's quite possible to teach them to respond to alternatives, or stop listening to 'you' temporarily.
