A canon blast. That's what it felt like. She might have been close, but Sasha didn't even think the man might try to fight back. The shot grazed her skin before flying into her wing membrane and into the sky. While the wings didn't have as many pain receptors as those on her main wing bones, the blood streaming down her skin and the wound on the elbow itself burned and hurt. It was unlike what she had ever felt before from any Pokemon attack. She was suddenly frightened and without Red or anyone else to support her or get her to calm down, felt at a loss and didn't know what to do.

The pain caused her to roar even more, as she fired another shot of fire into the sky, not being careful where it went this time. The flames around her tail increased, causing the bench to light on fire, as she tried to fly, but the torn membrane making her slip and fall backwards into the ground. That man. That man had a gun. He could fire again at any second!

She quickly took a battle pose, wanting to retreat back into the school, but not wanting to risk him trying to shoot her while she had her back turned. Slowly, she began to move back, as the bench continued to burn.
