"Strong Spirit, I like that." He commented as she stood there, trying to keep her pride, refusing to be turned into his obedient and servile pokemon, for now. Adrian wasn't even sure he wanted that, though he was sure he was going to make her trust him. There had to be no lies, a strict reward and punishment regime. Mostly based on punishment he thought as he walked back to his rock. The rain still falling down on the camp as well as the both of them, to Umbre this wouldn't be a bad thing, it might get rid of some of the mud, to Adrian, it was just one more inconvenience to deal with later.<br/><br/>Sitting down, it crossed his mind that he would have to sleep if he was going to train his first pokemon tomorrow. Not to mention that she could probably use some rest as well, if only to truly get rid of the effects of the drugs he used. As he looked at her, he was unbuttoning his jacket. Despite the rain it was reasonably warm this night. The forest working as a natural buffer against the night's cold. He was still wearing a shirt underneath the jacket, he seemed like a military man, or a swat officer. All his equipment high grade and filled with pockets and other useful equipment. Whether or not he had experience as a soldier was another thing, though at least he had the money to buy the best of the best.<br/><br/>"I will be going to sleep in a matter of moments, Umbreon." Adrian spoke as he stood up again, moving towards his tent to fling in his jacket. "Your reaction to my question, leaves me unable to trust you not to run away, and that leaves me with two options. Either I retreat you and you stay in your pokeball until I need you. Or I tie you on a leash, to make sure you can't run away." He stood up fully again after having thrown his jacket in, his face slightly concerned, probably about her reaction.<br/>"Look, you're my pokemon now, and I can't have you run away. I'm going to be strict, and not much forgiving, so you better get used to that. Once you earn my trust, and vice versa, I won't need to take precautions like this anymore." He refrained from telling her she might well be sleeping with him in his tent, and though a slight twitch of his mouth revealed that he thought of something, she couldn't know what. The choice she had to make, still stood though, and Adrian wasn't about to give in.
