Failing once was not enough to stop Elaine at this point. But that was pretty obvious at that point.

There was nothing but excitement in the way that Elisabeth raced to the waves, having conquered all the possible maneuvers that could be asked of her. The Primarina Twist seemed like a good one to come back to as she boarded the Mantine yet another time.

Okay, the Starmie 720 shouldn’t be so difficult to land, right?

Not after the nightmare that was the Magikarp Splash this should be a cakewalk…

Or was he?

No, no, definitely—

“Why aren’t you calm?!” he shrieked as the Mantine from Hell™ surged forward into the deep water again.

By choosing to use the same Mantine every day, Josh figured he would be able to not only perfect the twists, but the timing on the end maneuver of the MAGIKARP SPLASH. When fractions of a second mattered, just like in racing, he needed every advantage he could get. He set out after seeing an appropriate-sized wave, giving the highly advanced maneuver yet another try.

Shalin, too, took the extra wait time to ensure she could attempt the MAGIKARP SPLASH with the same Mantine every time. She was at least enjoying the splashing motion at the top of the Mantine's leap, success or fail. Having so much fun with it was the only thing keeping her from getting frustrated at seeing failure after failure. She caught a wave and commanded the Splash when she felt the timing was right.

Another day, another attempt at the Magikarp Splash

She’d lost track at this point, but really, who was keeping count of the wipeouts?

How did that trick go again…?

He had to do the ‘mental replay’ thing in his head as he headed out into the surf on the back of the Mantine—

At least it was Over the Gyarados today, and not that dang-blasted Magikarp Splash that had taken him almost two weeks to land.

So many of them were trying to land the MAGIKARP SPLASH.

And so many were failing.

Derek tried once more to separate himself from those individuals.

Yes, insanity hours continued.

For Lars, though, having completed all of the tricks at least once—

This should be achievable, right?

Another Magikarp Splash?

Again she threw herself to the mercy of the waves, and again she boarded the Mantine, eager to see if she could master the same tricks again. Primarina Twist seemed a mostly safe bet.
