{ Mission Details} Mission name: Legs Beyond Eleven Participants: Sophie Sequoia alone Spawning?: 3X Wordcount (~500 Words) Challenges to help Sophie develop her leg/overall strength in order to help her with her latest form of personal fitness training; amateur kickboxing! Don’t particularly wish to focus on simple exercise and weight lifting, though something like a squat competition might be fun, the first two rounds of spawns can take place anywhere and given how she loves to be in the field, could be training revolving around crossing obstacles that would need to push her leg strength hard (Running through deep water/mud, crossing a series of long and risky jumps?) The final spawn should be a light chance to show off the more martial arts related side as Sophie spars freestyle with an self-controlled NPC called Cody using the pads to show off the skill and confidence she has gained in kicking moves. Mission details: Enjoying the fact that the Arcadia Institute comes with its own gymnasium and training facilities, after a few teasing jokes and playful comments from members of the Operations Division that she could put her long legs to good use as a kickboxer, Sophie has actually taken up the suggestion and started to train under one of the better martial arts experts in the division called Cody. Finding she actually enjoys the chance to hone her abilities and show off something other than her intellect, as well as the stress relief that pounding a punch bag or padded partner provides her, while her focus remains largely on academic matters Miss Sequoia has been getting more and more into this hobby and wants to demonstrate how much she has grown to her teacher, earning a new skill and perhaps some respect from Cody and the operations department. Skill Development: New Skill:- Strength – Minor An active girl throughout her life, in recent months Sophie has been taking lessons in kickboxing from a colleague both to help her self-defence and also as a fun hobby, she has been honing her potential a bit and come on a long way thanks to her strong foundation. Able to use her long and strong legs to deliver some serious punishment, one should expect a serious kick from this usually peaceful girl to leave a nasty bruise and possibly crack a bone depending on how good a hit she got in. Also useful in other situations, Miss Sequoia can perform power vaults to cross gaps and also combines well with her already honed endurance and high athleticism to mean she can push her body that much harder for longer. “Not bad, not bad! Your form’s getting better, Professor!” A red pad thudding as the bridge of her foot slammed against it, Sophie Sequoia stood with one sole firmly rooted on the ground as the other hung in the air almost at the height of her head as a face beyond the cushioned mittens grinned at her. The modesty of the pink haired Miss spared because of the fact she was currently dressed in a tight and slightly damp tube top and a pair of baggy jogging bottoms, she felt compelled to lash out again as she snapped her feet down and followed up with a pair of jabbing thrusts with her lower limbs, her partner moving to accommodate the motion and blocking each of the snapping kicks with relative ease. “I’ve told you before to call me Sophie!” Grunting slightly and finding there something slightly bothersome about the man opposite calling her by her title, with the time the two had spent in the past few months honing her moves and working up to a sparring session like this, Miss Sequoia almost felt disappointed that her martial arts mentor seemed to insist on such a formal moniker. Channelling the aggravation into aggression, with a deeper grunt the girl threw herself down onto the mats they were practicing on and wheeled her leg around, trying to trip him up to teach him a lesson. “Smart move but not good enough!” The well-built body opposite proving rather spry when it needed to be, with a little flick of his feet Cody managed to hop over the swipe with an ease that only frustrated the femme further and inspired even more of an onslaught from her. Carrying her momentum around like a wheel, Sophie swung her toe at the pad of partner again, aiming to jam a kick hard into his ribs to vent some of her vexation physically, but still found she coming up short. Cody hopping back to avoid the blow but immediately launching himself back toward her in a manner that seemed almost like a taunt, with what was practically a growl the girl followed up on this attack with a wild roundhouse heel, but unfortunately showed off how new she was to the move when performing it. Putting every ounce of power and her turning tide into a kick that could have probably taken someone’s head off had it landed, unfortunately when the expert with whom she was training ducked beneath it, Miss Sequoia found herself horribly imbalanced. Wobbling as her speeding heel compromised her equilibrium and found herself spinning toward the ground, the pink haired pugilist found herself thumping her taped knuckles into the mat in frustration as she lay face down on the ground and her partner chuckling behind her. “Looks like that one’s still a bit beyond you, not bad though… Professor.” The man who was her Mentor running his hand back through his hair as Sophie rolled over, the young woman let out a sigh before giving a chuckle of her own at how badly she had just performed a roundhouse kicked, silently longing to do them with the skill that Cody had shown her. The teacher of Miss Sequoia offering his hand once he had tugged if free from the large mittens he had been wearing, Sophie wrapped her fingers around his and gave a short and sharp gasp as she was plucked up so easily, noting the way he still seemed to stress her title as she let her breath catch up with her. Clearly, she needed to give him a reason to respect her properly. “I’m gonna knock you on your ass one day, and after you’ll start calling me Sophie, agreed?” Taking in a deep, hard breath as her face shone with colour, Miss Sequoia smirked at her teacher and decided to turn the little bit of frustration she felt into a goal she could overcome. Cody seeming to nod at her suggestion before pulling away and throwing a bottle of water to her, silently as she smirked at him and caught it with is, the Professor began to plan out how she might get what she wanted…

The first challenge is a rather long obstacle course. There are a lot of jumping portions from one squishy platform to the next to stretch those legs. After that is a rock wall climb to push her up to a higher platform. Thereafter she has to leap down and wade through some rather deep water for quite a while before climbing up another rock wall to the finish line. Feel free to add in other obstacles as well. 500 words

This sort of thing is a lot trickier than it looks on TV! Giving a soft grunt as her foot was swallowed up by a large, round piece of what she had to assume was foam, Sophie groaned and tried her best to ignore the feeling of imbalance and unsure footing that the object she was crossing presented, hammering her other heel into the surface before throwing herself forward onto the next. Hurtling down a long obstacle course hanging over a track of water that had been set up as part of an Arcadian charity function, while participation was largely optional she had opted to enter and prove herself to the operations department and a particular member of it especially.
The operations department is taking part as well, so the pride of the research department is at stake! Wincing a little as her ankle wobbled but she didn’t quite lose her balance, Miss Sequoia gritted her teeth as her progress was shown on a monitor to bring awe and amusement to the attendees of this little soiree, hurtling over what felt like a giant set of beach balls with an effort that made her legs burn but she knew her ‘challenge’ was only getting started. Finally reaching a relatively firm piece of ground but it only being a couple of meters or so long before leading her to an upward climb, after taking just one or two breaths to steady herself the pink haired Professor took a running jump and gripped the nearest handholds she could see as she started to traverse this vertical surface.
I’m not going to give Cody a chance to laugh at me! Feeling she was perhaps a little bit childish to be spurred on by the attention of her teacher but also finding it helped her focus to think of him, with a groan the girl lifted herself upward and hooked her toes over the modules that had been installed to help her climb, moving from one to the next as her longs and both sets of limbs felt like they were burning. Slowly but surely traversing the series of manmade crooks and crannies and spotting that her target gradually became closer than the bottom off the wall, with a huff Sophie threw herself over the lip of the wall and lay on her back for a moment, before forcing herself back onto a set of wobbly legs.
“The seesaw isn’t so fun… On your own!” The face of the femme now coloured with even more of a fuchsia tone than her tied back hair, as she straightened Miss Sequoia saw that she was now facing a platform that she knew from the course design would have a pivot at the centre, which led to another vertical face. This cliff not quite as tall as the one she had just clambered up but entirely barren of holds for her to grab, by the reckoning of the girl she’d need to be quick and cross the platform at just the right pace to leave it tipping upward and give her the height needed to throw herself up, and so she launched into her next round that this course threw at her.
I’ve got to wait just the right amount of time… Thankful that the seesaw she needed to cross was stiff enough that it didn’t just drop out beneath her as soon as she put her weight upon it, Sophie was afforded a strange moment of stillness as she waited for side on which she stood to tip down and tried to gauge just how far she could let it fall before she needed to move. Every instinct telling the young woman to throw herself forward as soon as she saw the other end lifting, she held back for a second before the slope made her feel unsteady before sprinting forward and hoping that her momentum would stop her slipping off.
Dashing along what was rapidly becoming a steeper and steeper incline and panting heavily from her effort, had she misjudged her start the girl would likely either fall right off the back or launch herself straight into the wall, so she hoped she had gauged things well but all that was left now was to hammer her heels. Sprinting forward and feeling a little bit of relief run through her as the board began to even out, before she had even reached the other end Miss Sequoia launched herself toward the cliff and prayed that she had guessed her projection accurately, and to her relief found her front half flopping over the square edge she aimed for.
Almost… At the end… So worn from her ‘journey’ so far that her body felt about ready to collapse at any second, with eyes that seemed a little bit dizzy and her heartbeat like a hammer in the back of her throat, the pink haired competitor looked over the rather simple ‘endgame’ to this competition. The path over which she had travelled now giving her what at first seemed to be an ‘easy’ path, a slope led down to a narrow section that was actually submerged beneath the water into which she could have fallen already, which was now being kicked up a little bit roughly by some playful Pokémon either side. After that the simple matter of another climbing wall that was only about two or three times higher than the one she had just forced herself through, this would be easy, right?
Not even worrying about the climb back up to reach the end goal until she had crossed the treachery of the wavy water, Sophie panted as she jogged down the slope before jumping forward to land on the part of her path that was now submerged with a not inconsiderable splash. The feeling of the liquid wrapping around her red hot legs actually something that seemed to soothe her, while initially the girl felt relieved to be travelling through this thigh-deep wetness she soon came to regret it.

Come on Sophie, this is for science and women everywhere! Each of her steps feeling like she was dragging a Rhyhorn behind each of her heels, when she hit the section where the tide was being kicked back and forth Miss Sequoia thought for sure a few times she was done for as her tired lower limbs made her stumble and nearly slip off the edge of her path. Fortunately though, through some combination of stubborn grit and what was left of her stamina, she managed to push through it and fall against the surface she now had to climb up.
“It’s just… A wall…” The words that the woman spoke barely perceivable as she pushed herself upward, the mouth of the worn out woman could barely do anything but let out rasping gasps and sighs as she tried to force oxygen into her system. Dragging her legs from the drink and dripping as she moved toward her target, the girl quickly discovered that not only was her climb taller but more challenging in other ways, not only did the grips she had to reach seem further apart but also her sodden footwear made them especially slippery as well.
“Don’t… Let yourself… Down now!” Grunting and encouraging herself verbally as she found her feet falling out from under her a couple of times and was left hanging by her arms alone, with dogged tenacity Sophie dragged her fatigued form higher and higher, one step at a time. The coolness of the water a distant memory for the blue eyed beauty when she reached the summit of her climb, her body feeling so hot that she might have sworn blind she had crossed a desert before this, finally she pulled herself to the top of the obstacle and practically fell onto the buzzer that would announce her completion of the task.
I did it… Damn. Definitely not something I’d fancy a do over on![/i] Gasping for air and legs feeling like they were made of lead by this point, Miss Sequoia found by the end she cared little for whatever time she had recorded on the challenge and took pride in the simple fact that she had achieved it. These legs are for more than just good looks! Standing tall on limbs that felt so weak she might topple over at any moment and waving to the camera in her ‘victory’ before stumbling over to the other side of the platform wearily, Sophie was glad that the end of this obstacle course featured a nice deep pool she could cool off in and despite being dressed in her workout gear, happily threw herself into that deep, cold water…

Swimming is a great way to build up core muscles and a good place to stretch and work limb muscles without having the grind of heavy impact. There appears to be some new classes for water resistance training at the gym which includes some deep water aspects. Try it out!500 words

“Whew!” The pink hair of Sophie Seqouia this time largely hidden underneath the cover of a similar bright and girlish looking swim cap, with a gasp she pushed her head and shoulders clear of the pleasantly temperate water in which she had just been performing a few lengths to get her body loose and warmed up. Wiping the wetness from her face gently as she paused to gather her breath for a moment, on this rare occasion both of her blue eyes were completely unobscured by her fuchsia locks as the girl decided to do some unconventional training to make her long legs equally strong.
So, if I’m remembering correctly the workout started with a few minutes of jogging in the deep… Humming and gliding through the water to grab hold of a foamy tube she could use to help herself stay afloat as she exploited the pool for a little bit more than just conventional swimming, Sophie gave a little hum as she moved toward the deeper end of the pool in a gentle but not too slow front crawl before binding herself around the waist with her aid in order to steady herself. Workout inspired by one that she had happened to spot online and thought it might do her a bit better at building her strength than running or lifting weights, as she paused for a second with most of the modest navy blue swimsuit she wore hidden beneath the gently bobbing water, Sophie closed her eyes and visualized what she had seen over the internet before mimicking the actions as best she could.
Wow, this is a lot harder than the instructor made it look! Pressing a little button on the waterproof wristwatch to start a little timer going as she began to kick her legs underneath her like she was jogging, whilst the young woman noted that the water protected her limbs from the usual shocks and bumps of a run on the street or a machine, she found herself struggling in a different way. Each movement of her legs finding a resistance that made it feel like her limbs were being held in place by bungee cords and almost felt disappointed when she was left panting heavily after only a half-minute of activity.
It’s like someone’s suddenly turned up the gravity on me or something! This marker guiding her to mix up her position from a wide stance run to something where she was kicking her knees a little higher up in front of her, Miss Sequoia felt her pool noodle compelling her midsection upward and was glad for the support it offered her as since even the tips of her toes still leaving about a foot or so of water which even her long legs couldn’t overcome, forcing herself to continue despite the building fatigue within her. Swapping to a stance similar to the first but this time lifting her knees up to the sides after another minute before completing another set of the actions, when her little watch chirped to say she had completed a three minute blitz of high intensity action Sophie felt as if she had already run about ten miles and was quite glad she had chosen an alternating pattern of exercise in order to give them at least a chance to recover a little aerobically.
“Now… This one should really help my kicks…” Taking a little break in order to level out her breathing a little before launching into the next ‘round’ of her exercise, in contrast to the activity she had just performed, the next round that the soggy professor endured seemed rather sedate. Kicking her toes high enough to lift them almost out of the water, Sophie twisted at her waist and hips to extend the hand on her opposite side in order to reach for her feet but never quite managing to grab them as she switched from one leg to the other, whilst her first few lifts seemed simple enough once again the resistance of the water only made what looked to be a rather gentle movement seem a hundred times more exhausting.
Surprised to discover that even as she slowly plucked her ankles upward through the water that she was breathing heavily as much from this as her little ‘rush’ of activity from earlier, whilst her lower limbs began to weaken she forced herself to continue with images of the kicks she hoped she could one day perform. Almost childish in her fantastical images of her being able to launch punishing strikes with her feet that could knock men much bigger than her over, perhaps the sweetest image that Miss Sequoia could summon in order to distract herself from the fatigue she felt was the notion of whacking Cody so hard that the sheer momentum of the blow knocked him on his back. Almost giggling at the slightly sadistic scene as she finally finished up the reps she set herself for a goal, with her legs practically burning by this point the professor paused for a few seconds to let at least a little of the discomfort settle before she moved on to her next round of ‘punishment’.
My word, my legs feel almost numb by this point! Shifting the ‘gear’ of her activity back to something aerobic, whilst her thighs and hips still throbbed a bit from the kicks she had just done, Sophie started her watch off again and began flailing her legs furiously underneath her. Looking almost as if she was pushing her way along on an invisible bicycle that was beneath both the water and herself, the frantic activity was too much even for her noodle to hold her up and she was forced to steady herself with her arms. Determined however to push her body up out of the water with the pure force she could kick up, with a groan Miss Sequoia hammered her heels around and around and finally gasped as she cleared the surface from the top of her breasts upwards, while she could only manage this height for a few seconds before her timer beeped and told her to relax she was glad for trying. Yet her biggest relief was the fact that her next exercise actually gave her lower limbs a little bit of a rest for a while.

Not exactly looking for too much of an improvement other than my legs, but I suppose it couldn’t hurt? Pulling her heels up and keeping them there as they were treated to a nice long rest, Sophie couldn’t help but giggle at the weird sensation of swimming upright with only her arms to guide her direction. The floaty foam that sat just underneath her bust largely taking the whole task of keeping her afloat as she swayed her arms a little bit like the fins of a seahorse, at an almost sedate but not comfortable pace she pushed herself first forwards and then backwards, before moving to each side in turn as her watch guided her activity. Finally feeling her breath seeming to settle down a bit for what felt to be the first time with what was effectively a ‘rest’ exercise, by the end of it Miss Sequoia could feel her arms well on their way toward a stop in fatigue town like her legs, and tried not to feel too disheartened by the fact that her lower limbs still felt like lead weights when she began to move them again.
Heh, this one makes me feel a little bit froggy! Giggling lightly to herself as she began her next little exercise, this time her circuit dictated that she use both set of limbs in tandem and started by pushing her hands down into the water as she plucked her knees up either side of them, looking a little like she was hopping like a Froakie despite not really moving anywhere. Switching things up a little as she kicked one foot forward and then the other as she cycled through her timed set, by the time she moved to a motion where she had her hands wide and knees tight, the exhaustion that Sophie felt gave her a new level of respect and understanding for how strong the legs of her Kunoichi seemed to be.
“A-Almost there!” Wondering just how well she might manage to walk away from her workout given how beyond worn out her body was feeling by now but still pushing herself to continue, the young woman shifted to a lower degree of aerobic intensity again when now she began to perform knee lifts from side to side in the water. Feeling a little bit like a floating ballerina as she thrust the joint halfway up her legs up high and left her toes pointing down toward that eternally out of reach pool bottom, after breathily urging herself to continue all Miss Sequoia could really focus on right now was counting her reps and keeping her breathing even. Every motion she took accompanied by a purposeful inhale or exhale as she tried to keep a fresh supply of oxygen to her muscles, she pointed her finger either side of her in synchronization with her lifts and steadily wore down the number she wanted to achieve before finally hitting it and wanting to use that momentum to finish off.
Launching straight into her last exercise like she was almost hitting the ground running, with her legs swinging upward in much the same fashion as she had performed her kicks earlier, Sophie was thankful she didn’t quite have to achieve that same level of precision or range as she practically punched forward with each hand in turn. Looking as if she was doing some sort of almost waddling wide-legged run as she flung the opposite foot in front of her to her hand, the professor didn’t even dare try to catch a glimpse of how long was left on her watch as she focused fully on completing the task.
“F-Finally!” Looking like a complete goofball if one happened to have a glimpse of her from beneath the surface of the pool as her wild arms and legs flailed as if she were a madwoman, when her watch chirped at her for once Sophie knew she didn’t have to change to some other but equally draining exercise and could instead ease off of her intensity. Slowing the pace with which she forced her limbs to swing up and down and instead focusing on performing smaller but more controlled moves, the pink haired girl panted heavily as she reduced her movement to something more gentle and tolerable, her arms and legs begging her to just let her take a break but the beauty knowing better than that. Conscious of the fact that she would probably be left rather sore tomorrow if she didn’t show this bit of discipline toward the end of her watery regimen, when she finally allowed herself to flop out of the water, Miss Sequoia was already wondering when she would next have a chance to try this new form of exercise again?

Cody's looking to spar! Seems Sophie has a challenger ready and raring to go. Safety first, though, don't forget to put on that padding. The floor is also padded though, so don't worry too much about falling if you wanna try a high jump kick. A Medicham in the corner might even applaud such efforts afterwards! 525 words
