MANTINE SURFING (SPLASHFEST)

POSTED ON Aug 1, 2022 4:31:06 GMT

Jack bobbed up and down with the Mantine as they rolled over wave after wave, waiting to line up for the perfect jump. The Magikarp Splash was proving very difficult and Jack as trying to stack as many factors in their favor as he could. He urges the Mantine forward as he spots a large wave breaking just ahead of them and ramps upward with intense focus.

[attr="class","skullbody"]Ha! That was a pro move of ever Isaac saw one. The fake "last try" into the real "last try" never failed to rebalance the cosmos. Isaac had been victorious, and now he could retire from the fast paced world of Mantine Surfing as a winner.[break][break]

Or not. As soon as the next round of surfing began, he was right back at it. Like hell he'd leave before his dance card was fully punched! That Over-The-Gyarados trick was only a little easier than the Magikarp Splash, after all. Why not try both and gp for double the clout?[break][break]

One was pure precision and timing. The other was a dizzying series of flips, rolls, and twists. Surely Isaac's skills would carry over, right?[break][break]

POSTED ON Aug 1, 2022 5:00:58 GMT

The last few attempts at this trick had been absolutely abysmal. Today, though! Today was the day! Cade was confident they could make better progress. And, if they were lucky, the might even land it, too.

So he sets off on Gaspacho, enjoying the breeze that flows through his hair, before they hit that wave and spin into the air.

Another wipeout, but hey— this sort of stuff was necessary when it came to mastering new tricks and techniques. Hopefully, with enough practice and effort, a successful Starmie 720 would be his for the taking.[break][break]

SUCCESS IS NOT met with any signs of relief. it’s expected. however long, however difficult, the end will always come full circle. fernando expects nothing short of greatness.

so when they land, fernando runs his hand against the back of the mantine as a small token of praise, before moving onto the next move.

Okay, so the new MANTINE hadn't worked out. He'd give it ONE more chance to prove itself before having to take drastic measures. Barnaby wasn't sure what these measures would be just yet, but it would not be a fun time for the contest coordinators.

Alright, let's try this again...

There really is nothing sweeter than seeing your friend faceplant into the sand, then successfully perform a stunt after gloating to them.

But watching said friend eat wave for the second day in a row comes pretty close. He laughs at Amelia Livy as if it were his first time seeing her crash and burn.

If Nereid lands a STARMIE 720, he's not going to let the historian-ranger live it down.

MANTINE SURFING (SPLASHFEST)

She's brimming with confidence after yesterday's jump. Not only had she nailed the Starmie 720, she's done it so well she'd invented a new one: the Starmie 1440 XD. While she highly doubted she could do it a second time, she could already see a few surfists attempting it. None had done it quite as well as her, of course.

This time, Skyler attempts something far more ambitious. And so, Mantine swimming under her feet, she goes for the Over The Gyarados.
