he wonders if he can only really magikarp splash once per year. he already forgot if he managed to perform it last time, but he aims for at least twice this year.

Marshall climbed back onto his Mantine after yet another wipeout, undeterred. Giving the Pokémon a reassuring pat, he urged it toward the next wave. With a shout, they attempted another OVER-THE-GYARADOS.[break][break]

LANTURN 360 it is. No way this Mantine can fail that, right?

Surely the Magikarp Splash would be pulled off after so many attempts. Surely determination had to pay off at some point.

Today’s text read something like:

Of course, he made sure to attempt the Magikarp Splash after had already gone because.

Well.

He wouldn’t be able to live it down if he was spotted.

That… needless to say, that was absolutely terrible.

He’d faceplanted so hard he’d actually sunk beneath the waves…

But not today, no!

“You’re not a quitter, you little shit,” he said to himself as he rode out once more on the back of the Mantine to attempt the Primarina Twist once again.

It was now, officially, Mantine from Hell™ hours now.

Now that Alex had completed every single trick possible—it was time to go crazy trying to land the damned thing that had eluded him for so long, because—

Why?

Just because!

He was already numb to the rolling feeling in his stomach as the Mantine climbed the waves, but he still couldn’t help but scream as they were falling, falling, falling towards the water in another dubious attempt at the Magikarp Splash.

[attr="class","aurelie_body"]When fishing earlier, Aurelie had been quite excited to pull up a Dynamax-sized Magikarp, the biggest fish Pokemon she'd caught yet. Could this be a good omen for the rest of the day? She certainly hoped the splashing of the Magikarp she'd caught might have somehow lent her insight into the Magikarp Splash trick that she'd been attempting for days on end.

On the other hand, she thought wryly as she piloted her Mantine across the water, I wouldn't be surprised if it cursed me. I caught its brethren! Who knows if that might being bad luck, instead of good? Yikes!

Truthfully, even for a man of his standards and demeanor, the consistent failure after failure had begun to dig itself deeper and deeper within him.[break][break]

Of course, he knew it to be entirely expected. By no means had he been a professional—or even skilled enough to be hobbyist—Mantine Surfer in downtime nor youth, and when he’d achieved enough clarity to remember as such, he did know that the few tricks and the like he’d managed to pull off were still things to acknowledge and take pride in.[break][break]

So, with a deep breath and an eye upon the horizon, he gently tapped the head of the Mantine beneath him before nodding towards another, brewing wave in the distance.[break][break]

”We’ll get the Magikarp Splash eventually,” he hummed, narrowing his eyes and gesturing the creature forward as the wave gained height. ”Keep at it~.”[break][break]

Not too long ago, he’d managed to pull off some hotshot trick that other people seemed to be having all the trouble in the world with. Maybe it was his ego that had gotten to him in the aftermath, but as he resurfaced with a hiss, the Rocket couldn’t help but click his tongue with an annoyed sigh as he pulled himself atop the Mantine accompanying him again.[break][break]

”Again, ye damn washboard…” he groaned, already pushing the two of them towards a heightening wave. ”We’re doin’ this damn trick. Over-the-Gyarados! Again!”[break][break]

Well. No. It isn't a question. There's only an answer: to surf. To attempt another over-the-gyarados. Will she ever catch up to ? Probably not. Will she continue to do this for as long as she can? Most likely.
