She had been right: he's kind of a masochist. Or, more like painfully competitive... Which she also is. Let's be honest, it's the only reason why she's still doing this, and also the reason why she'd agree without a second thought to another surfing competition despite everything they have suffered through this summer.
[break][break]
It's also why she rolls her eyes when says she needs more practice, and why she laughs when he goes on to immediately fail right after.
[break][break]
"Who's the one who needs practice now, huh?!" Lia mocks, but let's be honest: it's them both.
[break][break]
Still, when approaching the next wave to try a OVER-THE-GYARADOS yet again, her smile is as bright as ever.

Why was he even trying at this point—

Was it for the clout? The experience?

Or just something to look back on and laugh at when he got shitfaced drunk (which was impossible, knowing his insanely high alcoholic tolerance, but still)?

Either way, another flying attempt at the Magikarp Splash was made.

MANTINE SURFING


*guitar riff* WIPE OUUUUUUUT



Gwyar, Raki, and Mantine were met with failure yet again. And yet again, the man rose with untamed determination, eyes gleaming with Magikarp madness.

The Riolu howled in horror and the Mantine thrashed in protest as they were both dragged back out to sea.

MAGIKAAARP SPLAAAAAAAAASH!

So close—

And yet so far.

How many times was he going to fail before he got up and succeeded at the Magikarp Splash anyway?

He wondered how Frog was doing out on the waves, at least.

"I guess speed, then height is the way to go, huh?" Locke mused. Manta-Manta replied with a thoughtful chirp of his own.

Nothing to do now but keep trying. They boarded the Mantine again, and immediately started to rebuild their previous momentum before Bouncing into the air for another attempt.

A sudden gasp from the crowd: the Ditto had done it! It had finally pulled off a Magikarp Splash! The crowd went wild, cheering as the "child" completed the trick!

But the event wasn't over yet, and there were still more tricks to perform! And it would be ambitious, going for an Over-the-Gyarados

"C'mon, Jonesy!" Derek shouts over to the Sobble, who was enjoying the last few licks of it's ice cream before being challenged to race Derek to the Mantine. Obviously Jonesy won, but he didn't enjoy it. Not at the cost of those few licks of ice cream.

Hanging on tight to it's trainer, the two of them face another wave. Not the largest, but the Mantine proves quite powerful, launching them up over it and giving plenty of airtime to perform a MAGIKARP SPLASH!

Derek just needed to stick the landing this time...

[attr="class","aurelie_body"]Another day, another surf was not a thought that Aurelie thought would ever cross her mind casually on an everyday basis, considering she had never even learned to do Mantine surfing until the festival. It was amazing how quickly one could get used to things, even new and difficult things. She had to admit, though, it was a great reason to spend a lot of time at the beach and in the water. No one could blame you for wanting to master the most difficult and precise surfing trick, the Magikarp Splash, after all.

The sun seemed insulted by his failure the day previous. It blazed hotter than ever before today. On its last legs for the season, it seemed to want to go out in glory. Regardless, Cade applies extra sunscreen before heading out to the surf upon his rental Mantine.

Jack balances gracefully on the Mantine, every tiny flex of his muscles bolstered by the days upon days of surfing. With a smile and a shout, he and the Mantine spring into the air for a Primarina Twist.

NEED THOSE SHARDS


Wiiiiiipe Ouuut!

Failure had become his life. Every single second he went without performing a Magikarp Splash was a second were he was nothing more than a failure. His future of his entire life would be decided here.

He would either succeed now and make it... or be a failure.

Could she once more perform the OVER-THE-GYARADOS. Her luck had been quite good, but she was certain it wouldn’t last.

And so doubt made its way into her as she once more rode the Mantine and tried to perform the before-mentioned trick.
