Melody felt at home in the water. [break][break]

So naturally when the slateport splashfest was underway she'd do every single aquatic event that they offered. [break][break]

She hadn't ridden a mantine before but hey, first time for everything right? [break][break]

Time to go big or go home! Melody attempts the PRIMARINA TWIST [break][break]

Surfing was a far cry away from Penelope's typical line of hobbies. Because of work, whenever she had a moment to spare, it wasn't to be spent outside in the hot ass hoenn weather. So, when Splashfest came into town, she expected most of her time to be clinging to and enjoying the small NONSPORT-RELATED events.
[break][break]

And, yet, she somehow found herself strapped onto a mantine and expected to pull off a Tony Hawk 360 super dash like she was fucking stitch.
[break][break]

"Well, let's see how this goes..." She whispered to herself.

Okay...[break][break]

So, like, how do people do this again? The Mantine is slippery, the water is cold, and Luka has no idea what she's doing. But it looks fun...assuming she can manage to get at least one trick right![break][break] As she watches the other participants perform elegant arial leaps, she makes sure to tighten the strings on her bikini top. And then the bottoms as well. Can't be too careful...[break][break]

Luka holds her breath, clings to the Mantine tightly, and prays to launch a successful Primarina Twist for her first jump.

[attr="class","illeana i"]how hard can it really be to surf?

apparently... kind of hard.

she looks confused, flustered, and easily irritated by the second time she's fallen off. and with a little grunt, she's shoving herself back up onto the mantine to try again.

third time's the charm, right?

keeping her balance enough to feel more comfortable, illeana lets out a shaky exhale and leans into trying a trick. going for gold with the hardest one really might not even pay off but she's down to clown today.

Josh was quite impressed with the sheer quantity of Mantine and the number of experienced surfers on hand. While he was good with controlling Pokémon, he only had a ton of practice doing so with a Pokémon that a rider sat on, not stood on. This would be a serious adjustment, but the only way to find out his skill level was to try! He reviewed video footage of the six tricks before deciding he would attempt them in ascending order of difficulty.

Once he was satisfied, Josh climbed aboard one of the Mantine. Though his balance from racing helped substantially, it required so much more effort to control the Water-type from a standing position. He took a lap or two around the area before accelerating into a steep wave, then banking hard into a HUNTAIL SPIN that made him dizzy during the finishing maneuver.

After spending the early afternoon at Round One Arcade in Slateport's south district, Shalin decided the best way to cool off from intense Step Step Revolution play was to relax at the beach and enjoy the festival. After all, given Hoenn's recent happenings, this may be the last time she could truly relax! It was best to make the most of it.



The first attraction that caught Shalin's eye was the Mantine Surfing area. The wave generator they had going way in the back was enormous! She saw several others trying to pull off six tricks detailed on the festival's website. Rather than watch video demonstrations, she learned best by doing. With a nod, she settled into the Maneine's harness designed to keep her steady while standing. It was certainly an adjustment, but not one that would take her long.



The blonde's hair whipped in the wind as she got her Mantine up to speed and climbed the first wave, leaning hard to her right to execute a GOREBYSS SPIRAL.

Another day, another few hours spent enjoying Slateport’s Splashfest, another attempt at getting one of the event’s Mantine to collaborate with him.
[break][break]
If only he could use his own Mantine, but alas…
[break][break]
”Okay, hear me out: when we reach the wave, we’re going up and doing some spins, got it?” Mars tells the Kite Pokémon while kneeling on its back, pointing at the waves to make sure it understands. Once he’s satisfied, he stands, taking a deep breath before commanding the Mantine forward. ”Alright, let’s go!”
[break][break]
Will it be able to perform the MAGIKARP SPLASH Mars deserves?

Summer was and will always be Hailee's favorite season. There were just so many fun things to enjoy. The sun for a good tan. The water, whether that be the ocean or a pool, was always a great way to cool off. Summer games and treats. And last but not least, Hailee's personal favorite, Summer fashion.[break][break]

Not sure what she was in the mood for first, Hailee found herself wandering towards the Matine Surfing contest. "Eh, why the hell not?" she shrugged to herself. After getting ready she patted her Matine as she glanced out at the waves. "Let's have fun and give them a show." She whispered before they began.[break][break]

Hailee always was a sucker for gambling. "Let's start with a bang!" she cheered as they approached their first wave.[break]

Adrian had to recover from the wipeout, taking a moment to get his bearings and break the surface for a breath of air. His nostrils stung with the scent of brine, and he could see his Mantine approaching him from the shallows. Apparently it had made out just fine.[break][break]

MANTINE SURFING (SPLASHFEST)
POSTED ON Jul 24, 2022 5:01:03 GMT
Cade Atreides Avatar

Cade considered himself a better surfer than he was a diver, that was for sure. Whether riding his motorcycle or paragliding, the man delighted in activities that could bring him the thrill of danger he craved. Surfing had been one of the first, and he'd practiced since he was a kid.

Even so, he'd never exactly mounted a MANTINE as a surfboard before. This required more than one's own skill, of course. Like a Rapidash and its rider, it demanded teamwork and an unspoken connection.

The one-eyed blonde would do his best to form this connection as he mounted the manta ray, gently patting its back before they zoomed off to ride a wave. When he felt the moment was right, he would attempt a move he'd only ever seen on TV once or twice.

attempts a STARMIE 720!

After the fiasco that Noah had taken part of in the previews day he was back for more, still inspired by those before him landing some sick tubular moves bro! He was ready, with a little more pep on his step this time and the little experience of failure from the day before. [break][break]

As he would take to the waves with what looked like the same Mantine from yesterday, he felt more comfortable and like balancing had become a little more easier. everything was coming a little more naturally. "Let's get it Mantine!" With the little more knowledge he had he wanted to try a simpler move than whatever the fuck he tried yesterday. Today it was time for the famous PRIMARINA TWIST. Surfs up bro!. [break][break]

Ashley is ready for splashfest, and he has his trunks on. He doesn't care about victory, he just wants to enjoy himself. And who doesn't enjoy a little surfing with the Mantine? As he climbs aboard, he goes quickly towards the wave.

"Alright! Don't throw up, Ash... you learned from Shalin... aaaand..." As the Mantine flips into the air, and quickly does the spins, he attempts the dreaded, nausea-inducing trick known as STARMIE 720!

But does he succeed? That will be the test.

orchid loved the water, sure, and was good at plenty of water-related activities! but never having tried surfing before, she’s not sure if that’ll be one of them. she shudders at the waves before her, certain that she’ll be overwhelmed by them.

she contemplates the move she wishes to attempt. it could go well, or it could go horribly, but she supposed it was as good as any other to give a shot. with that decision, orchid attempts a primarina twist.

It had been a long time since Angelo had been Mantine surfing with Nereid. Longer still, since he'd had the dream that had nudged him towards the activity, coasting and defying gravity on sun dappled waves.

Participating in Mantine Surfing was a reprieve from the hustle and bustle that had become his life. Although there's no doubt simply being in attendance would be good for business.  

Okay, Nereid. Shake off that rust.” Angelo gives his Mantine an encouraging pat on the head, before smoothly rising to stand. As if the art of balance had never left. “How about a Starmie 720 to warm up?

katherine tells the mantine once they crash, having failed their first attempt at a MAGIKARP SPLASH. the water-type appears to be satisfied with the results, enjoying itself regardless of its success rate. it sickens the elite four but not enough to consider quitting. not yet.
