this is his finisher! the easiest trick of all! and because it was so easy, priam can add more pizzazz to his trick.

he boards the mantine for the surf, wearing a beach towel with a gabite print as a cape. it gets lost in the wind even before he can leave the shore.

Amor felt like he was going insane because he was just bashing his face against the same wall over, and over, but he needed to get this trick down! So once more he saddled up and tried again to accomplish an Over the Gyrados!

You can do this, Julia. Don't let the time psych you out. Just focus on doing the trick. And if you don't make it, then at least you tried. Eyes narrowed with determination, Julia directed her Mantine to climb the next wave for the Magikarp Splash.

SPLOOSH!

Why was he doing this?

Why was he doing this to himself?

He had two more chances. Two more tricks left. Only time for that many before the competition was over. At this point, he knew that he was just going to have to shoot for that Magikarp Splash and hope for the best. Not because it had any benefit.

But because it was now or never.

Surfing out with Jonesy at his shoulder, the gym leader and his pokemon quickly take after a wave forming not far from them. Scaling along it's broadside, they eventually shoot up over the top, giving them just enough time to attempt another MAGIKARP SPLASH!

Skimming smoothly across the waves, Jack and the Mantine spin into the sky for another Primarina Twist. The heat of the sun fills Jack with an emotional warmth that seems to fill his entire body.

predictably, she crashed into the water without much success. at least she'd made it further than many previous attempts that time.

pulling back onto the mantine's wing, she rode up the next wave and into the air to attempt yet another magikarp splash

nope. time to try try again.

he watched for a bit, careful to pay attention to the time they had left in the competition. enough for him to comfortably try to perform this trick a third time. not enough to win, but still fun.

there was time enough for a couple more tries, before grabbing dinner from a booth and making the long trip home.

she would stick to the same trick, because why not? there was no chance anymore to catch up with the competition, and she'd never really been worried about it anyways.

the familiar command left her lips before they headed up the next wave.

okay, actually, that one had not been so close... but maybe this time? two more tries! she could do this.

"let's go! same thing."

they claimed a wave and went for it, giving full effort in hopes for a second magikarp splash to finish the competition strong.

it almost bittersweet, that it's all about to end. but mostly, it's a huge relief since there are only so many times that he can be submerged under water before his demons come back to haunt him.

[break][break] he strokes the the scales of his mantine once, a silent wish of good luck.
