the last one doesn't count since he was just warming up. you can't call exercises actual attempts since they're really just that.

this time, he's serious. he never fails on anything, and every "fail" he got was just him messing around or simply testing the waters. he still hasn't synergizes with his mantine, and only then will it actually count.

he goes into the water on the mantine, ready for a go.

That all didn't sound nearly as bad as the last one. Hideo's doppelganger once more got back on the Mantine, determined to get this trick done properly.

Perhaps it was egged on by how many others were attempting the Magikarp Splash as well.

Marshall felt like he was getting better with every attempt, getting closer to executing a perfect MAGIKARP SPLASH on the back of his Mantine. He hopped on again today with intent to improve even more, if not perform the trick in its entirety. Whispering encouraging words to his rented Pokémon, Marshall gave her a quick pat. And then they were off!

The day goes by in a blur of flying from Mossdeep to Dewford with cargo to the remote island, leaving no time in the morning for his now routine date with the waves. Such is the life of the sky bound. He wouldn’t trade it.

Angelo squeezes a little dip in during the evening, instead. Splashfest still humming with life behind him, sunshine sparkling on the ocean surface traded for the artificial glow of string lights along their docks.

As an event organiser starts to set up their nightly fireworks display, Angelo sets up a PRIMARINA TWIST.

"okay."

it wasn't okay. "that was..." she considers her words before continuing, "..close. just- towards the end, your spin is meant to be longer, i think. don't worry about me. i won't get hurt." surprisingly, katherine tries to encourage the mantine to do better through positive reinforcement or something similar to that. she's treading unknown territory, and it shows.

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.

[attr="class","monbody"]Flush with joy and relief that she'd managed to at least replicate her earlier success with a relatively simple trick, Aurelie geared up to attempt the Primarina Twist again. She'd gotten to watch several other surfers perform it successfully and many others fail to complete it, so she thought she should at least understand the theoretical basis of getting the trick right. Of course, that logic didn't really apply to every trick, though! She'd seen so many people attempt the fabled Magikarp Splash, with only a small number of successes at best, and she wasn't sure that she wanted to attempt that one anytime soon. Surfing and flipping with precision and coordination still weren't anything that she'd consider strengths of hers, even with all the practice and trying she'd done so far.

they crash into the water horribly, a failure at an attempt, but jayden is not one to give up so easily. once he's able to get his bearings, he rents another mantine and takes to the sea again.

[break][break] they try the over-the-gyarados once more.

…With that last wipeout, though, he had to admit that a bit of the brine went a bit too far down the wrong pipe.[break]

Another day, another hopeful attempt at some arbitrary stunt from a point list. Well, Mantine and Elinor were going to do it today. They would perform the STARMIE 720 or try again at another time. Who knows, it wasn’t like this was a serious competition.

And so they went on to try the trick. Found the best wave they could and focused entirely on it and nothing more… Hopefully it worked.

Maybe he really did need one day to cool off.

Unfortunately, though, it was like instinct was guiding the Mantine that he thought he’d left behind—for he knew that it was the very same one that was so determined to break him because—

What other Mantine would bear his weight, the weight of a child of the air, screaming and pleading as he hung on for his fucking life?

“F-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-fine, let’s… g-g-g-g-g-get this over with,” he hissed between his teeth as the Mantine let out a maniacal cackle before surging into the surf, determined once and for fucking all to land the Magikarp Splash.

(At least one of them wasn’t a quitter.)

Trying the OVER-THE-GYARADOS again, Derek has Jonesy on the Mantine with him. Rather than spray them with a boost from behind, the Sobble's water gun acts from the opposite direction, streaming out behind them to add an extra bit of lift as they launch over the wave. Performing the trick to the best of his ability, there wasn't too much confidence that he'd stick the landing.

But that just meant he'd get to try again!

Success on a tougher trick...now it's ready for the other tough trick. The infamous Starmie 720! He had only done it a couple times before, but he had a lot of tries he could do here. Picking up speed, he went into the air. Three rolls, and then spun around horizontally twice. The world was spinning, with that many rolls and then such a spin, it was no wonder the inexperienced often threw up or failed due to the spinning world. The landing was always awful...but he landed it, albiet a bit roughly. But he didn't fall off, and it was considered a success.


Trick: Starmie 720 (success)
