Magikarp, Magikarp…

He really needed to think like a Magikarp, didn’t he?

Well, unfortunately when he acquired Kali she was already a Gyarados, so…

Nothing else to it!

Be calm, man. Be fucking calm! he thought to himself as he rode out into the deep on the back of a Mantine, fucking ready to nail the trick by whatever means necessary.

“EASY FOR YOU TO SAY!” was his initial scream at as the Mantine he was stuck with showed absolutely no fucking mercy at all.

Oy.

He wanted to do nothing more but to wail in the open, however the Mantine that had unfortunately clung herself to his sorry ass was abso-fucking-lutely determined to get that stupid trick, regardless if the human she was carrying was terrified of the water.

(Hey, at least she wasn’t letting him fall, right?!)

Off they went again, screaming human and cackling Mantine as they tried the Magikarp Splash yet again.

Yet another attempt at the Magikarp Splash was made!

[attr="class","monbody"]Aurelie was beginning to wonder if her initial success with the relatively simple trick was just pure beginner's luck. She supposed she was lucky in that she hadn't fallen off her Mantine or been knocked over by a powerful wave, let alone gotten injured or drowned like she'd feared; she'd just failed to perform the trick she'd wanted to show off and usually ended up landing off-balance or never completing the flip in the first place. So, it's not a complete disaster, she thought caustically, just bad. So bad.

With a grumble, she guided her Mantine once more toward the highest waves. She was going to master this simple Lanturn 360 for sure this time, she vowed. Aurelie closed her eye for a moment, trying to remember how she'd accomplished it in the first place. A back flip and front flip, followed by a full 360 flip in the air—it should be doable. She clenched her fist at her side before assuming the wide, balanced stance and bending her knees slightly in readiness for the trick. You can do this, she told herself. You can pull off this trick. Probably. Hopefully.

The first trick went off without a hitch. Sy was amazed-- he’d thought for sure he’d be dumped into the surf like a loser. All his old gymnast training must’ve been paying off. Elated, he went for an even trickier manuever: the over-the-gyarados!

Angelo arrives at the beach at the crack of dawn, welcoming the splash of pale orange light sitting atop his Mantine's broad back.

Today was going to be a busy day with work but the surf beckons, encouraging him to squish it into his routine where he can.

There's no spectators this time as he attempts a STARMIE 720.

his heart lurches as they take skyward, only to descend back into the water. it's startling that they were successful, but it seems like the mantine below him is a bit cockier than jayden.

[break][break] it attempts an over-the-gyarados, lips split into a shark's grin.

well that was a spectacular failure. but even so, the mantine's probably a bit too into this, and he's probably a little bit too determined to get this right. she may as well appease it. "lets try again." she crouches a bit, patting the top of the ray's head. one more magikarp splash.

Jack was beginning to feel slightly discouraged about how difficult this Magikarp Splash trick was, but she shrugged his shoulders. This was a nice break from everything else going on in the world, so why not enjoy it? He vaults back onto the Mantine, aims for a wave, and makes another attempt.

Failing again, he jumps free from the Mantine's back as they crash back toward the sea, enjoying a graceful dive into the churning water below.

She had tried the Magikarp and failed. That was to be expected with her limited experience. Alas, she was not one to take a steady learning curve, so the next attempt would only be a tiny bit easier.

Mantine knew what to do, it found the wave and carried it and its rider upon it with grace and elegance until the rest was up to Elinor. And so, when all was set and ready to go did they both attempt to perform the STARMIE

Even with both trainer and Pokémon finally on the same page, performing the trick was still easier said than done. But he said they'd do it-and surely they couldn't wipe out five times in a row?!

he needed to keep his ego in check, that much was clear. the rubbery hide of the mantine beneath him was perfectly suited for a good posture, so he takes advantage.

He'd decided to take a break, get a slushy, share said slushy with the Mantine he'd been riding with. More like he snuck it to the silly thing while the instructor wasn't looking. "It's good, right?" he said with a laugh as the Mantine flopped happily in the water. He eventually sat his drink down. "Ok, we had a little treat Let's try this again." He said as the Mantine cooed and let him on once more to attempt the legendary MAGIKARP SPLASH.

So attempt number 2 was a bust. No matter. They say that the third time is the charm so banking on one in twenty odds a third time would hardly be an issue, right? No matter how many times she crashed and burn, she could just keep getting up until she got it. 

The Magikarp Splash couldn't evade her for eternity, right?
