Another failure. But this wasn't a test for the weak-willed: it was a difficult trick, especially for one with no training or prior experience.

So once again, the Ditto would attempt another Magikarp Splash. The real Hideo, meanwhile, was off enjoying a milkshake along with his Beheeyem, the boy once again holding back a question of how exactly his Beheeyem could drink a milkshake.

"okay. the remaining ones are really simple."
[break][break]
was katherine assuring herself or her mantine? it's a bit hard to tell, but regardless, she continues. "so let's start with a PRIMARINA TWIST, hrm? don't botch the spin this time, alright?"
[break][break]
the fact the mantine hasn't tried to shake kat off its back is genuinely astonishing.

Okay! He was doing better! He could feel it! Marshall urged his Mantine toward another wave, mentally crossing all his fingers and toes that they would be able to land the trick this time.

"You got it, buddy," he encouraged the Mantine. "We can do this! We can get a MAGIKARP SPLASH this time!"

THE STARMIE WOULD BE PERFORMED ONE WAY OR THE OTHER. This is her third or fourth attempt. Elinor was growing frustrated. But she would do it or die trying.

As Council member she could not back down from the challenge. And so both Mantine and Elinor did their best to perform the STARMIE 720.

But doubt found its way into her heart. Hopefully, it would not disrupt the performance.

[attr="class","monlyrics"]Live in the sunshine, swim in the sea
[attr="class","monbody"]The prospect of being able to pull off all the tricks for Mantine surfing was looking dimmer with every failure. Particularly with that spectacular wipeout of a failure on her last attempt! She'd gone tumbling head over heels into the water and probably would have hit her head on something on the sea floor if she hadn't recovered her wits enough to start swimming toward the surface. Arceus, that had been mortifying. Her only comfort had been the sympathetic smile of solidarity that gave her as they both paddled back toward shore, having both been defeated by the sea and their own ambition.

The challenge of it all was what drove Aurelie to keep coming back, though. She might give up eventually on her hopes of performing all the tricks, including the ever-daunting Magikarp Splash, but today was not that day. Today was the day she tried the Primarina Twist again, though, in hopes of finally getting it right this time. She refused to let herself be intimidated or discouraged by her past attempts, even if some of them had been appalling. She would get it right. Eventually.

Maybe the Mantine are the problem. How else to explain the whole of Slateport beach collectively sucking at surfing? One could argue that it's not fitting of a ranger to blame pokémon for things, but Tam has never cared for what is and isn't fitting.
[break][break]
"Again. MAGIKARP SPLASH." They'll get it eventually. By this point, he's just trying for the sheer sake of it. To prove to himself that he can do it or something. Tam can be stubborn like that sometimes, alright?

not everyone got it right the first time so that was pretty alright. even if they flopped the landing of it trying for another lanturn 360 wasn't the worst possible idea. it only was the worst idea if they failed a second time and kaz was determined to not let that happen again. this time they were going to land it and stick that landing one way or another.

Well, might as well ride the wave while it lasts! It's time to attempt yet another difficult trick. But after managing to pull off the Magikarp Splash once before, there's nothing she can't do, right?[break][break]

"Let's go again!" she urges on Mantine, who doesn't need to be told twice. With a whoop and a holler the pair takes off again, attempting yet another Magikarp Splash.

This was gonna be harder than he thought. While Ashley has a total wipeout this time, he doesn't care. The man throws his arms into the sky, and hops back on that flappy water being. Victory was a Magikarp Splash, and defeat was failure to pull it off. He would never surrender! Not till he splashed.

So much for playing it safe, Elisabeth thought silently to herself as she watched countless others attempt and fail the Magikarp Splash.

Well. When in Hoenn... do as the Hoennites do.

Elisabeth propelled herself forward on the Mantine, raising herself to her feet to take on the curling wave. Here goes nothing.

SPLASH!

"Of course."

Yeah that didn't go well either. Josh spit out water as he climbed back onto the Mantine. It seemed he was going to have to go simpler again, build up more momentum. So he would go for the Primarina Splash and hope for the best.

If there was one consolation, it seemed that many other wannabe surfers were also attempting the MAGIKARP SPLASH and also failing tremendously. Zev didn't wish to be counted among their number, but the trick still eluded him. With a sigh, he got back on the Mantine and urged the Pokémon forward. Despite all the previous wipeouts, he was not going to give up.
