Natalie groaned and hung her head, rather than immediately acknowledging this new Trainer's challenge. This was exactly what she wasn't in the mood for. If the day were any less hot and she were any less tired, she might have declined and quietly excused herself, for discretion is the better part of valor (and she's a bit cowardly, if we're being honest), but... she was hot and miserable and his challenge just made her bristle, somehow.

"I wasn't looking for a battle..." She rises slowly to her feet, casting a glance to the left at her Purrloin and to the right at her Pawniard. "But if you want one, I can see what I can do."
