MANTINE SURFING (SPLASHFEST)

POSTED ON Jul 27, 2022 11:13:07 GMT

Every day Marshall didn't land a MAGIKARP SPLASH was another day of furious self-embarrassment. But he was not going to give up. No, he was a professional athlete, which meant he possessed a certain stubbornness for winning. As his Mantine swam out to open water again, Marshall set his jaw and furrowed his brow.

He had a good feeling he would get it this time. And if not, well… every failure was a lesson that would help him succeed next time.

Hideo could hear the splash on that one, with the collecting "ooooh"-ing of the audience giving him a good idea how badly that attempt went. Though with the chatter, it seemed like his doppelganger wasn't the only one bailing hard on that trick.

Yet his Ditto was still determined to pull this off, once again going for a Magikarp Splash.

"that wasn't too hard, was it?"

one successful magikarp splash, five other tricks to go. katherine's finally pleased with her mantine's performance, gracing it with a fleeting smile. "let's try the over-the-gyarados one this time, okay?"
[break][break]
she doesn't have to climb the mantine's back as before, since she didn't fall, which is already an improvement.

POSTED ON Jul 27, 2022 13:37:47 GMT

it shouldn't really be a question on how many times kyle is willing to do it, but how many times does he need to try in order to perfect the move.

he gets on the mantine again after the last try. another magikarp splash shouldn't be too hard given that a lot of people have already done it. he's not special, but it shouldn't be a too difficult of a trick if there's more than three people that have already achieved such feat.

with another try, he attempts the trick.

(S) JONESY ♂ | SNIPER - dive, rain dance, soak, sucker punch, u-turn, water gun

Returning to the waves, Derek sets out on his Mantine with renewed confidence. Having landed the hardest trick already, he goes for the second, cresting over the next big wave while attempting the over-the-gyarados. He knew that, if there was any part he'd fail to stick the landing on, it'd be when he had to land back on the Mantine after jumping up.

Buoyed by the success of the first, easy trick, Cyg decided to try something a little bit more technical. But only a bit-- the LANTURN

She figured if she could nail down these easy ones, by the time she attempted the more difficult maneuvers, she’d be an old pro.

That...kind of hurt. Swimming towards the Mantine, the Pokemon also met him halfway. The Primarina Twist wasn't easy...it was always that last part. Getting up back on the Mantine, he started off again. Another low wave was soon. Moving towards it, he again got into the air, front flipping twice, then moving to the wing and back flipping personally. Hopefully he'll stick the landing this time. And he did! What a joyous day...and then he will try a much harder trick next...

He was beyond proud. Like, over the moon. On par with what a parent must feel after they watch their child take their first steps.

“Woooh! Good job!”

Who cared if he fell off the Mantine? He got on it in the first place. That was the important part.

Buoyed by his elation, he rode his Mantine into their next trick: OVER-THE-GYARADOS. Whether he nailed it, or fell, he'd still be happy.

He did miss it, by that much, but he managed to stay on his Mantine.

Third time's the charm, right? It's gotta be, because her last two attempts had ended up with her pride being blown to pathetic little smithereens. Bribing the Mantine clearly hadn't worked, so Skyler would clearly have to attempt another, less nicer, strategy.

"I could really go for some sushi tonight." The words casually slip from her mouth, right before she makes for the waves. A slight twitch under her feet is all the response she gets. Would it make a difference? Unlikely. But as the wave looms larger, Skyler chooses to believe that it does.

Honestly? Way better than he expected.[break][break]

Way better, and more than enough to instill a further sense of excitement for what was to come. Once more, the currents around him splashed heavily upon his landing, and as the Mantine beneath him began to stabilize itself atop the water’s surface again, the Stone had already been scoping out the next wave.[break][break]

The fact that Zev had not been able to execute any tricks he'd attempted meant only on thing: he was not meant to be a surfer. At all. Yet Zev's ego had been bruised enough times on the back of the Mantine that he wasn't going to quit now. After all, he'd be able to execute a MAGIKARP SPLASH eventually. It was only a matter of time.

He was… getting the hang of it, so to speak.

At least his previous wipeout wasn’t as bad, right?

“Alright, if there’s one thing I have a lot of, it’s determination!” he said to nobody in particular as he took a Mantine out into the surf today—

For he was determined to land the Magikarp Splash today.

If there was one thing about her that Josh Dragomir was aware of—

It was the fact that she was 1000% stubborn.

If it was going to take a miracle to land this trick, then so be it.

“We do this until we nail it!” she hissed under hear breath, directing the Mantine to a deeper part of the water and attempting the Magikarp Splash once more.
