As soon as she saw Adrian raise his arm, she tensed, not really knowing where to expect the first hit. As the leather smacked down against her body, she winces and bites down hard to grit her teeth against the pain, blatantly refusing to make a sound. But the look on her face was enough to tell that she was in pain. And she knew that he would hit her anywhere he could, now that she was so fully exposed to him, free to be struck in any place without her being able to do a damned thing about it.<br/><br/>The next few strikes against her body made her growl lowly and wince in pain, eyes closing tight and jaw clenching even tighter. Her legs could take the abuse, they were strong enough. But when he struck against her arm, she couldn't help but utter a heart-wrenched and painful yelp and whimper, not expecting it to hurt so bad. She tries to move back, away from him, but she knew he could move closer to her and would only strike her more. It was futile to attempt to move away, knowing she was stuck there to be subjected to such punishment. Adrian was right, however, that she had brought this upon herself.<br/><br/>When the Trainer moved around to her back, Umbre was in an instant panic, not knowing what to expect and really not wanting to be struck against her back or backside. The worst he could do was to harm her tail in some form or fashion. Her panic eased slightly as she felt him...petting her tail...? It knocked her off guard, to feel his hand so sensually caressing her bushy tail, but she still flinched nonetheless. The next thing that she didn't expect, either, was him whispering into one of her ears, his hand so intimately placed against her cheek. In her chest, her heart was hammering and her eyes were wide. Though she was in decent pain from her first set of strikes, she didn't let it show all that much that she was in pain. She was determined to try and keep some of her pride throughout all of this, even if it was just a small sliver.<br/><br/>What happened next, she had hoped would not happen, and she was half expecting it and half not. As he pulled her tail away from her body, she thought that he was going to caress it as before, but she could hear the whistle of the leather as he brought it down against her rear and she cries out loudly in pain, her restrained, toned body arching away as she whimpered from the stinging. And before she knew it, he had struck her several more times, each time making her cry out despite her best efforts to remain silent and strong. The stinging was enough to make her wince and writhe, and tears had gathered in her eyes, her jaw clenching in her attempt to keep from sobbing. She made sure to keep from looking at him, refusing to let him see the tears of pure pain glittering in her eyes as she slumped down, sagging as she was displayed so openly before him. Her tail, after being released immediately swept between her legs as she trembled there. This in itself should've been enough to alert Adrian that he made his point. Never before in her life had she ever experienced such degradation or pain, even in a fight against another Pokemon. After this, she didn't think she had any pride left. It would certainly be a miracle if she did.
