She didn’t know if she was going to be setting a record for the most consecutive number of days without a single trick landed, so…

Here she was. Again.

Riding to ruin on the back of a Mantine to attempt the Magikarp Splash.

Bob Dylan once wrote, 'The times, they are a-changin.' Rowan had never heard that song. It seemed as though everything was the same, another day, another failure. "Come on, we can do this, pal." MAGIKARP SPLASH wasn't impossible, he knew that they possessed the ability to do so. This would be it, right? This would be their chance to make history in the Splashfest. [break][break]

Come on, Lars.

You already got the trick twice now.

Third time’s the charm!

He could guess the Ditto would be feeling sore after all this. But it was just so determined to pull off the Magikarp Splash. How could he stop it now?

He'd let it continue its attempts.

Yep, he was absolutely certain that this particular Mantine had it out for him now.

Some of the organizers of the event complained to him that the one that always approached him absolutely refused to let anyone else ride on their back, and would sulk like a mcfucking child until he showed up for his daily failure attempt at the blasted trick that everyone else was now spamming to kingdom come out in the watery surf.

Magikarp Splash, let’s go!

Despite being one of the easier tricks, the PRIMARINA TWIST had eluded Marshall. He slapped the water in the first hint of a growing frustration, but nevertheless urged his Mantine forward with an optimistic tone of voice. "One more time! Let's go!" [break][break]

MANTINE SURFING


NEED THOSE SHARDS


Wiiiiiipe Ouuut! echoed through Doug's brain as he and his mantine were swallowed whole by the giant waves, his body swirling to and fro in the water before his trained, rented partner rushed for the water surface.

Gasping for breath as they broke surface, the young captain coughed into his fist roughly and spat out salt water, blearily blinking away the seasalt in his eyes as he squinted up at the towering waves that had somehow managed to push him and his Mantine far away from the action in mere seconds.

"... AGAIN!" He shouted, prompting a worried look from his Mantine. "Don't give me that look! You heard me, WE'RE DOING IT AGAIN!"

"MAGIKARP... SPLAAAASH!"

Jack skimms the waves with the Mantine as joyful laughter erupts from his mouth. They launch into theLanturn 360, happy to be enjoying the beautiful day.

MANTINE SURFING


*guitar riff* WIPE OUUUUUUUT


"Indeed you realize, Ocean." Gwyar said as he finished spitting out sea water like a faucet, lying on the sand next to a dizzy Raki. "That this, means war."

Struggling back to his feet on wobbly feet, the man bonked he side of his head with his palm briefly, before picking up Raki AND his Mantine, and dragging both of the struggling pokemon back to the ocean.

"We're doing it again! You know the drill!"

MAGIKAAARP SPLAAAAAAAAASH!

priam frantically looks around. there's bound to be a bunch of other people who hasn't been able to do the trick yet.

he gets up on the mantine, paddling back to the sea. he's not too eager to end up like those people who will end the entire festival without managing to do the trick ever.

[attr="class","aurelie_lyrics"]A soul is forged in the flames of adversity.
[attr="class","aurelie_body"]Aurelie took a deep breath as she gazed speculatively at the surging waves and the Mantine patiently waiting for her. She reminded herself that, while she wanted to land the Magikarp Splash for the crowns, the sheer joy of accomplishment, and the satisfying sense of completion, the trick itself had no inherent value. It wasn't going to get her more money, better health, or anything else that would be truly useful. She wanted to pull it off, but she didn't have to. She reminded herself of that, fiercely, as she urged the Mantine to launch toward the waves and assumed the low, balanced stance to prepare for the ever-elusive trick.
