Legend says I'll lose my mind by the time this event ends.[break][break]

The legends are probably right, but until then, we'll keep gunning for a Magikarp Splash.[break][break]

it's only a matter of time before they are out on the sea again, after a brief reprieve. jayden watches as someone crash-lands in front of him, feeling a sting of sympathy.

[break][break] another wave comes their way eventually so it's an opportune time as any to attempt a MAGIKARP SPLASH.

While he had thought they would be able to ride their momentum instead they wound up faceplanting on their attempt of the Magikarp Splash, and he just lay in the water groaning in pain for a few moments before climbing back on the saddle, and going for it once more. Amor would achieve this move somehow, this coveted Magikarp Splash one way or the other.

At long last, it was time to attempt the GOREBYSS SPIN. Or was it the HUNTAIL SPIN? Caught up in nerves, Gavin can't quite remember.

So what he shouts to the Mantine is, "The spin thing!" and, thank Arceus, the Pokémon understands.

Why does there have to be so much spinning?

Today was a lucky day. But for whom? Would it be our heroine that would be victorious against the ever intimidating waves, or would nature let her treasure be forevermore out of touch?

There was but only one way to find out.

Elinor attempted to do the MAGIKARP SPLASH

it shouldn't really be a question on how many times kyle is willing to do it, but how many times does he need to try in order to perfect the move.

he gets on the mantine again after the last try. a starmie 720 shouldn't be too hard given that a lot of people have already done it. he's not special, but it shouldn't be a too difficult of a trick if there's more than three people that have already achieved such feat.

with another try, he attempts the trick.

he doesn't actually go outside much, contrary to his build. he felt like he was going to be humiliated by the first try, but given that he was pushed into this and agreed, he can't fault anyone but himself for trying.

he gets on the mantine. it feels different from any other flying-type he had ridden on, and to think he has to balance himself on top of it without any traction already has him thinking he won't be able to do it.

still, there was no choice but to try the sixthhardest trick, and that he does.

the last one doesn't count since he was just warming up. you can't call exercises actual attempts since they're really just that.

this time, he's serious. he never fails on anything, and every "fail" he got was just him messing around or simply testing the waters. he still hasn't synergizes with his mantine, and only then will it actually count.

he goes into the water on the mantine, ready for a go.

Some questions: how was this move invented? Had someone actually surfed a Mantine over a Gyarados once? That must have been quite the sight. Not all too unlike jumping the shark. Regardless, Cade sets out to attempt the same... though certainly without an actual Gyarados.

attempts the OVER-THE-GYARADOS!

It was a better attempt than last time, but still not enough. On to the next attempt for the young lady.

He kept falling.

Time and time again, he was falling and yet he kept getting up. Kept trying to hit that fabled Magikarp Splash. If it was the last thing he did (and hopefully it wasn't) he swore he'd hit it!
