Sapphire's Training

Sapphire had heard about the arena and the idea wasn't that appealing to her. She was not much of a fighter, only to defend herself or someone she cared about. She would not go out and pick a fight, unless you were messing with someone she cared about. Still she had heard that this was a good place to train with the facilities given. So she found a vacant spot on the grass to claim for her own today.

Sapphire set up the dummies she would use to train her water gun on, as well as some buckets and cans she found to shoot. She saw a clay disk shooter but decided that she would focus on the power of her water gun, accuracy would come later.

But first a nice lap around the field to get the blood pumping and flowing. Sapphire started for her jog around the training area. It was kinda big but she managed to complete her lap without being too tired and out of breath. Though she was a little tired she had to admit, she couldn't deny it.
A hand across her forehead managed to clear her brow of sweat that had accumulated.

"Target time". Sapphire stepped back about 5 feet from the buckets and cans. She fired at water gun and it knocked the bucket off the post. Sapphire stepped back another five feet and repeated the process till she couldn't knock down the can.

Next she tested how long she could last firing a water gun by spraying the dummy with water until she was too tired to keep shooting water. After a rest she decided to try the bucket again only this time she filled it up with the cans and some dirt to make it heavier. Once this drill was complete she cooled off with some stretches.

Sapphire returned for another day of training. And this time she was just going to work on her speed and endurance she supposed. No water gun practice just general conditioning for now.

Sapphire started like she did the day before with a lap around the course, however she added an addition three laps. Sapphire took a breather after the four laps because she was pretty tired and as such this was precisely why she needed to work on this kind of stuff. Though the thought of her sister doing training like this mad her giggle. Her sister was bordering snorlax levels of laziness and she still had a perfect figure. It was not fair!!!!

Once she was done with her breather the Vaporeon ran sprints. Once her sprints were over and she recovered from exhaustion she did some dynamic stretches. Something she noted she should of started with to prevent muscle pulls.

It was water gun time again and Sapphire had managed to obtain a clay disk shooter and some clay disks to shoot down with her water gun. She hummed and she carefully set up the device, making sure to the activator in her hand. Once it was set up and properly loaded she stepped back. This should not be too hard right?

Sapphire steeled herself and took a deep breath. Her goal was to shoot down all of her targets with water gun. Shouldn't be too hard right?

3...2...1. Sapphire hit the trigger that send a disk flying. She jumped at the speed and barely managed to get water gun to hit the 1st disk. Jeez off to a rough start already. No problem number two would be better. Sapphire pulled it again and got off to a smoother start.
She continued her excerise until.....

Suddenly a burst of rainbow colored ice shot from her mouth on one of the rounds and froze the disk. "What....was that?"

Sapphire tired to replicate what happened last time and was met with water. Strange what was that rainbow beam. Sapphire took a deep breath and tried again, this time successfully managing to replicate the rainbow ice beam. Cool! .
Sapphire tired once more and was met with the same result.

Sapphire was glad she took a day off from training, All that work from the wreck she deemed was training enough for the days she missed. In fact she was still sore from that a little but not too much. Only a stray pain here or there. So she figured she would take it a bit easier today and not work on her physical strength and what not. And hey to be honest she wanted to test "rainbow beam" out a little more. She grinned she had the perfect training exercise that would require precision and quick timing and the help from a partner.

She had managed to get the help of a Dewott morph around her age. An artist that well said she had a different idea to train then just sparring, though they promised to spar at some point. For now they were just doing this alternative style training exercise.

The Dewott would fire a water gun and Sapphire would freeze it. And through the end of the exercise they will have a nice sculpture carved through punches and precisely made with good timing of the aurora beam hitting the water.

"Alright ready?" asked the Dewott. Sapphire nodded her head. "ok let's go 3,2,1".

A shot of water emerged from her mouth and she kept a fountain going onto the ground. She gave Sapphire a thumbs up to start freezing. Sapphire complied and soon they had the pedestal base completed and they didn't have to chip off many mistakes. However now came the hard part. The two labored nearly an hour but finally with much sweat and elbow grease their masterpiece was complete.

In the end both of them learned precision, and timing of their attacks. And being able to control the intensity of the attack better as well.
