MANTINE SURFING (SPLASHFEST)

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

Refusing to scrape by with easier tricks, Derek stubbornly tears out over the water with his Mantine, steering it towards a wave so big it fought him on the choice. Eventually it gave into the command, and the two launched up over it with Derek struggling to execute another MAGIKARP SPLASH!

Thankfully, the Mantine Josh had practiced with was on the festival's late shift, and it was still open for use! The Dunk Tank line was large, but not the Surfing line; there were many Mantine available! He jumped onto the one he had been practicing with, got warmed up for his MAGIKARP SPLASH, and caught a wave of appropriate size to go through the twists.

Shalin knew that with her limited skill, the MAGIKARP SPLASH would require an extraordinary amount of luck to pull off. After all, it was the hardest trick in surfing! The Mantine she built a friendly relationship with was still there, too! She climbed aboard, waited for the right size wave, and cast off. Her timing had to be just right, both on the jump and on the execution....

The further he got, the easier everything became. He stopped slipping off the Mantine when it barrel rolled, and they managed to catch more air than some of their initial failures. As an added plus they were only going for softball tricks now.[break][break]

every time he said one more time, it just ended up being one more time after that. feeling the sting of slapping water from falls at all angles, he decided this would definitely be the last time before he switched to something easier.

he urged his mantine towards the next wave, taking a breath and then hollering as they took off into the air.

she was never going to get this, was she? doubt finally began to settle in, and she sat on gently rolling waves near the shore for a bit, contemplating giving up.

but of course, she did no such thing. they charged the next big wave, attempting once again to perform the magikarp splash.
