Back at it again. Evelyn basked in the summer sun, the warmth on her skin only fueling her confidence as she surfed to her heart’s content. She waited for just the right moment, letting the anticipation build as the tide lowered. When the waves were perfect, she charged forward like a silver bullet, her Mantine gliding effortlessly beneath her. The two were in perfect sync, their years of practice evident in every move. As they gained speed, Evelyn felt the thrill of the challenge ahead. This was her moment, the chance to show off her skill and flair. With a daring grin, she decided it was time to go all out. She scaled the towering wave and prepared to execute her most ambitious feat yet: the Primarina Twist.

Frustration roiled within Pamplemousse at his failure of so simple a trick. It was a mistake to try for something easier. He needed to keep pushing himself.[break][break]

He climbed purposefully back onto the Mantine before scouting for a new wave. Biding his time until something suitable rolled it, he launched quickly into a Primarina Twist.[break][break]

The most perfect, most natural 20 mantine maneuver ever. Photographers on the beach scramble to chase after this dead-eyed blond and his thousand yard stare as he catches the rainbow seafoam spray just right. Children look on in awe. Women gasp. Men want to be him.

All that's left is to do that six more times, Hawkins thinks to himself with a nod.

For as difficult as it had all turned out to be, Yuina was at least landing a few tricks here and there... And wasn't looking too bad in practice. She had a very low confidence level of trying anything more advanced than the Primarina Twist, after watching Doug struggle to perform the highest difficulty they had been demonstrated by the instructors... If only she could work with Daikenki, maybe then she would stand a chance.[break][break]
In any case, the next wave was coming through, and Yuina wanted to keep practicing. This was all a new experience, and she was having a fun time, though she couldn't imagine how sore and bruised she was going to end up after all was said and done.

MANTINE SURFING

It is what it is.

He had taken a short break from faceplanting on the ocean floor to get some piñas coladas from the beach shack nearby. As he approached his girlfriend near the waves, riding atop his mantine, he held out one of the drinks.

"How's that tally lookin'?" He asked casually, hopping from his mantine to hers and taking a seat besides her, head propped lazily against her shoulder. "Shit, you're already at 5000?"

Oh, he would try the magikarp splash again in a bit. It would not escape him this time... Surely.

One more failure to the pile. Not a problem, just more experience.

He was almost there, surely. Even his mantine could feel it. They were getting closer to Magikarp splash-perfection.

They were united as one in this chase for acrobatic perfection.

They were Fully synchro'd. This time, it was HAPPENING.

Having watched Zachary on the Mantime-- Hermes was following them on the waves-- trying to mimick the moves he does. Hermes was happy to try and rache his trainer-- but was clearly faster than the Mantine. As Zachary landed the second trip, Zachary was growing more and more confident. The smile on his face was clear as Mantine whistled happily. [break][break] As Zachary landed-- Hermes surfed up beside him, giving a hearty cheer as he urges Zachary to do more. "Thanks Mantine. I hope I can find one like you too to ride on." Zachary said. As Mantine cheered-- Zachary rode up the next waive-- this time attempting to do another Primarina Twist in hopes to land it for a third time. [break][break]lAceyrSD[break][break]
