Damn it! Damn it to hell! All that work only to be thwarted by a jest of fate. He wasn't going to give up now, his heart raced in his chest as he lunged up from out his hidingplace. Muddrenched and soaked to the bone weren't issues anymore, he would have this pokemon. She looked absolutely fine as she walked here, and now that his chance to take her down easy was blown away he would have to work for it.<br/><br/>Though karma seemed to turn back on her very soon, and Adrian noticed how she slipped in her haste to get away and landed, drenched in mud. He already had one foot up and the time and shifted as he saw the situation play out, lifting to just one foot and he knee, he cocked another dart nigh instantly. Firing a shot more based on instinct and luck than skill and patience, he would find out which side karma chose to favour now. That wasn't enough though, he wasn't taking any second chances now.<br/><br/>Reloading instantly, aiming over, not through, his water stained scope as he made ready to see if he needed to fire more. There were five darts in a clip, and he'd fire them all before letting this one run off. Surely a creature her size would leave a trail, and while he wasn't trained, nor working in the optimal conditions, he did have a general idea of direction, as well as the equipment to make Umbre's life of running and hiding a living hell. But all that wasn't necessary if she didn't get the chance to run in the first place.<br/><br/>
