Maybe she should've settled for a smaller handgun, but something about a big 'fuck you' revolver spoke to her. Even if the kick threatened to dislocate several unknown bones in her hands and wrist, it was all worth the feel of it.

BANG!

Miss.

BANG!

Glass exploded all over the short wood table as June's careful shot landed. It felt silly to wear safety glasses, as the one guy in that Gun Safety Class recommended, but she did appreciate the advice about ear plugs. Instead of rocking her brain tissue and giving her bad tinnitus, the sound muffled loudly against her ears.

She moved the barrel slowly to the next target. No need to rush things-- she'd be out here plenty often anyway. Off in the corner of the massive Mauville Ranger HQ lot, where the other rangers rarely frequented. Opposite end from all the Pokémon, though, so she didn't have to deal with complaints about that. To play it safe, she'd had her Garchomp dig up the earth behind the makeshift target range.

Now, instead of random trees and grass and brush, all her shots thudded into the dirt and created its own secondary explosion. Much more muffled and less exciting than the glass. But satisfying all the same. And it meant she didn't have to worry about hitting something she didn't want to.

BANG! Miss.

BANG! Hit.

Once more, the barrel shifted. BANG, BANG!

Hit. Unnecessary shot. Fuck. She pulled back her stiff, tv-static-filled hands and carefully pulled back on the cylinder release. It fell to the side, and six bullets clattered over the rickety old table she used. "Fifty-fifty ain't awful..."

Her vision flashed back to the Giant Chasm. Her side flared up as she recalled how the Rocket that tried to murder only needed the one. First try. Barely aimed. Her wallet cringed as she dug her fingers into the paper box next to her, for another handful of rounds. She grimaced. "Not good enough."

The shots ring out and Paxton watches. Arms crossed, and eyes watching the distance make shift target. The glass bottles were decent enough targets but from what he observed, unnecessarily difficult for someone unsure of their shots. "At this distance against someone who can actually shoot, you're taking too big a risk for yourself." he said, having moved to an angle to look at June's form. Dirt splashes up form the makeshift barriers. [break][break]

"Or your partners'." he added. The officer silently looks over the woman, staring her down as he took her in before his attention stays on the revolver. "Your form is terrible, and I don't need a paper target to tell your breathing's bad too." he remarked. "You can't handle a six shooter." He doesn't reach for her revolver, but does look over at his partner. The Magnezone takes the hint, summoning PROTECT shields over the small targets to stop June's haphazard shooting. [break][break]

"Why are you in a parking lot?"

June didn’t even give the stranger a spare glance. Anyone who opened up like that was either a dick, arrogant, or was making small talk before an important conversation. Or all three, based on his tone. She put the last round in the revolver and closed the cylinder with a satisfying click.

Only to realize that faint glow of the protect, which blocked the last few bottles from her ameature aim. She rolled her eyes and clicked the safety on before she tossed the gun onto the table. Thankfully, all it did was rattle against the wood.

I am in the parking lot,” she wiped her sweat-stained hands against her black pants, “because I have finished the scheduled deliveries for the day, I want to stay close for any last-minute calls, and to practice gun handling safely.

So, congrats, you know more than someone who’s shot a gun three times in her life– including right now,” only then did she turn to the stranger, the side of her head rested on her palm.

Y’know, I heard the Littleroot Litleos and Mauville Meowths are playing just down the block. I’m sure those third-graders would absolutely love your amazing insight on how to shoot a basketball. Since you have nothing better to do with your life.

She smiled big and bright to the League official. Yet her eyes told a different story, filled with annoyance. If looks could kill, Paxton would’ve died the second she turned to him. Unfortunately for June, though, they did not, and he was still there. What the hell did this guy want?
