idly, jayden wonders if there would be as many failures with a different pokemon. were mantine perhaps the problem?

[break][break] after this, he didn't want to see a single one for at least six months.

[break][break] beneath him, his mantine grins a gummy smile, oblivious to his trainer's thoughts. the wave comes for them, and together they attempt another over-the-gyarados.

she had been sort of close?

at this point, she couldn't see anything wrong with simply continuing attempts at the magikarp splash until the end. maybe she could nail it a second time.

once it was her turn, she took the next wave and rode up it, into the air to perform the most difficult trick with had eluded so many.

another crown was won with the last trick. she had three more tries before the event was over. though the changes were slim, she decided to pursue the magikarp splash for the rest of it.

over the water they sped, building momentum on their way up a wave before flipping through the air fantastically--and hopefully in the right way.

The streak had finally come to an end, with Thomas seemingly having flown too close to the sun for his own good. Still, with all of the tricks performed in a complete streak, Thomas wasn't complaining. And undeterred by his previous failure, he would attempt the Magikarp Splash again.

[attr="class","adrianwtw"]Their time under the sun was swiftly eroding.[break][break]

This time next year, they might not even be here. Here might not even be able to be defined the same way. It was a welcome respite, these festivities, but it could only temporarily placate that worry, that mounting hysteria that they were doomed to fall.[break][break]

One more trick.[break][break]

One more day until they had to face facts.[break][break]

Riding up the crest of the next wave, Adrian corkscrews through the air atop his Mantine, trying to bridge the gap between him and the high performing contestants.[break][break]

That was a close one. He'd quite narrowly avoided landing on a rock protruding out of the ocean. With Tentacool surrounding it. And was that a Sharpedo lurking in the waters nearby?

How Angelo had not sustained any injuries is a miracle.

He did get water up his nose though and that shit stings.

Don't cry for me, nerd. I'm alive,” he coughs to , hiding the burn of salt brine by quickly rushing off to attempt another OVER THE GYARADOS.

He didn’t even need to flinch at that terrible wipeout he saw not too far from where he was watching.

He already had an idea of what the next message would be.

For now, though—it was time to try the Over the Gyarados once more!

(And when he got back to dry land, this was the message for today: ‘Sir… are you even honestly trying at this point?’)
