Shalin knew the OVER-THE-GYARADOS would be a frustrating trick to learn and execute; after all, she was closing in on the upper echelons of what was humanly possible atop a Mantine! She cast off as soon as she could, focusing on the technique one maneuver at a time: pitch, roll, pitch, jump! She caught a big wave and pulled back on the water-type to start its first upward pitch...

two down, four more to go.

"we can do it. primarina twist!"

this one was sketchy.

they hit the wave. flip. flip. and, she leapt from the saddle, hoping it was well-timed, and to feel the mantine's wings beneath her feet, and not the sharp sting of unforgiving waves...

well, the last one had had been a beautiful success. too bad she hadn’t tried something harder. oh well.

encouraged by her friend for her natural talent, she compromised to try something more intermediate.

”starmie 720.”

the were off.

so much spinning. she felt sick.

okay. he fell off. it happens. checking to make sure he had all of his teeth, he got back on, and tried again.

"magikarp splash, again! let's go!"

another starmie 720, maybe the previous attempts at surfing has her ego shooting up. she's getting better at it, though. she thinks. she hasn't been wiping out as often. here we go.

nope. their last attempt at the magikarp splash had not gone so well. thank arceus for tequila-induced invincibility. without missing a beat, she was back to it.

”again.”

the mantine jetted up the wave and spun into the air.

He hit the waves with the intention to start slow and then ramp up, starting with a backflip, frontflip, 360 curl.

finally!

[break][break] against all odds, they manage the magikarp splash. jayden is stunned, even as they swim back to shore. his mantine, who has been with him through the entire endeavor, cooes happily. jayden pops a poffin in the pokemon's mouth — a job well-done.

[break][break] it almost seems cruel to take him back to sea, but the mantine wants to. after all — maybe a chase of the thrill?

[break][break] this time, the two attempt something different. they try a STARMIE 720.

Today it's an 'us versus them' mentality as Angelo meets at the beach, the memories of yesterday igniting a fire beneath his ass.

How that many people had managed to pull off a MAGIKARP SPLASH while he and Lia bumble about like drunks standing on a gondola is beyond him.

Today's our day.” He says with confidence to his ranger friend, clapping her on the back of her shoulder, as they go onward to face another morning of MAGIKARP SPLASH.

With the Magikarp trick out of the way, the road is paved for a much smoother way to victory. Even as she watches from the golden sands, is slapped down by a curling wave, doing his best impression of a squawking Wingull as he goes.

Skyler breathes in the fresh ocean air, deeply satisfied. Ah, to be a winner.

For once Noah would like to know what it felt like to succeed at the Mantine Suffering, he'd think it would feel nice. Had he been cursed by some angry soul to never be able to make the perfect MAGIKARP SPLASH? Will he be able to do it today? Only time will tell.[break][break]
