One moment, Umbre had been running from Adrian, adrenaline pumping through her veins in her attempt to get away. And the next moment, she found herself flat on her back on the ground, neck aching furiously and her vision swimming from her current disorientation. Blinking, she groans softly and slowly sits up, remembering much too late that he still had her on a leash. Reaching up, she rubs at her neck lightly and then tries to take her collar off, pulling and tugging with all that she had.<br/><br/>She was so absorbed in trying to free herself of the damned contraption that she didn't notice Adrian walking up behind her. She didn't understand why it wouldn't come off, getting quickly frustrated and growling in a feral fashion, though nowhere near giving up. Continuing to struggle with the collar, she tugs on it again, trying to find any possible way to remove it from around her neck. Her throat was still aching and the rush of adrenaline was beginning to slow, though it only added to her strength. The strength which didn't seem to be helping at the moment.<br/><br/>When she heard Adrian's voice, Umbre stiffened a little, her tail bushing out much more than usual and her ears twitching back. In response to his question, she growled, the fight in her rising up quickly. She was done trying to run away. It was a very weak reaction from her, which now only fueled her anger and fight response. Going back on what she had promised herself, she decided that she was going to make this as hard for him as possible. He wanted his first Pokemon, and with the first comes all of the training and the new experiences. She wasn't a lower level Pokemon that would be relatively easy to control, and she definitely wasn't about to make it easy on him. Again, she growls, slowly standing to face him, eyes full of anger and frustration.
