Adrian had walked on a sturdy pace the entire trip, used to long hiking trips in the mountains with his father, and was enjoying the cool air in the forest. Looking up into the forest canopy, watching the pidgeys hunt caterpies and wurmples.<br/><br/>So many kinds of pokemon, though luckily no beedrill yet. That was one mighty sting those bugs packed, and he was planning on spending the first few days with his first pokemon with a fever in agony on account of his allergy.<br/><br/>Watching his own pokemon suddenly twitch, Adrian stopped. He was starting to feel that bond develop between pokemon and trainer. That almost mystical combination that made the pokemon masters what they are. It wasn't nearly as well developed, the true masters could read exactly what was going on from a small motion like this.<br/><br/>Though watching Umbre bush up her tail and hearing he growl was good enough. He wanted this bond to develop, he needed it to if he wanted to become anything like a good trainer. So he had to learn, just like his pokemon would learn to handle him.<br/><br/>Moving closer to Umbre, standing at the ready Adrian almost whispers. "Tell me what I need to know, Umbre." He wanted her to get used to this, to tell him specifically what he needed. Whether to flee or to fight, or perhaps capture.
