Pokemon Revival (Discontinued)

Chapter 47 Preparations

After waiting a couple of minutes I had my set up made for me to practice on how this would go down. Note it wasn't an exact replica of the building, how I was going to do this is that these would be very small targets that I would have to be very precise, and be very patient to hit. Plus they move, so take that as you will.

It was close to time for me and Martin to leave, since the job would be soon he wanted to make sure I had plenty of rest before it began. The weapon I was using was a bolt-action, black painted sniper rifle, with a scope that had a very decent amount of magnification. The gun was not as hard as you think it would be for someone with three fingers. As long as I kept it to my shoulder then I could hold it properly, but I still had to use both paws no matter what. Is it weird I don't miss my thumbs? No? okay then.

Anyway the targets were really small and since the rifle was bolt action I had to set it up to where I had it on a stand. It was set on a bipod just like it would on the building. Keiran and Braig were the ones setting up my targets. Once they gave me the go ahead, I loaded my gun. I pulled back the latch of the gun, inserted the magazine, and pushed the latch closed. They set up five targets and had got behind this glass barrier.

"Alright Jae! Give it your best shot!" Keiran said.

I gave a nod. I shot a rifle before, but having not shot one for a week I guessed I was rusty. Which I was correct, because once I fired the first shot I missed. Another thing was that I have never shot a target so small. Well, can't really speak, because I used to trap shoot, basically shooting at clay disks with shotguns. I guess I really have been slacking huh?

My second attempt was a hit, thankfully. It showed that I haven't forgotten everything, and the enhanced eyesight that comes with being a lucario helps a lot.

Third shot, miss. But I can't really be blamed for that one though, I sneezed, go figure.

Fourth shot was a hit. I made sure I didn't sneeze and made sure I had the gun perfectly aimed. I made sure I would keep going until I hit every one, and made every shot count!

Fifth shot! HIT! I got faster on my reload, and made a direct hit. I'm getting better!

"Alright! A good three hits, but we all know you can do better! Let's set them up again shall we?" Keiran said through the speaker.

'Yeah! Let's go!' I replied.

They set up five more targets in different areas in the firing range I had.

This round of shots went better then the last. I was able to hit four of the targets this time. I had missed the third one from just pure me missing it, no excuses that time.

The next round I missed the first shot but hit all others. I was really mad about that, one away! JUST ONE AWAY!

Then the next round I tied myself down and focused. Thankfully all my work paid off because I was able to hit all of the targets! I was so proud of myself!

Then we kept continuing with my rounds of practice. Some were fours and others were fives. Thankfully I was starting to never miss more then once.

"Great work Jae! You seem to have that gun mastered now huh?" Keiran said after my practice.

'Yeah! It took me some time to get back to using the gun again, but thankfully it paid off!' I said with telepathy.

"Seems like it, let's just hope we wont have to take it that far okay?" He asked.

'Yeah, here's hoping!' I said back.

"Hey Jae! Mike said he would like you to help Lyran and him arm up some of the weapons before you leave, could you help?" He asked.
