Oh, he was getting a bit bolder now.

‘Sir. Were you drunk?’

He didn’t know why he sent that.

But the smirk on his face meant that he could get away with it. Possibly.

Sorry not sorry, !

Anyway… today was another attempt at the Magikarp Splash.

Huh, had it really been three days since he last came by here?

Well, time to try his luck again.

Sorry not sorry to whoever was the unfortunate king or queen of the dunk tank right now—

Whack.

Oh, a Remoraid.

Not exactly what he was looking for.

After setting the fish back into the water (see, , even he could tolerate sitting down for long stretches of time and being quiet) he cast the line out again, watching as it broke the surface with a tiny splashing noise.

At least he was able to save costs by not renting the wetsuit to go diving, because that would’ve been expensive in the long run.

Renting a wetsuit for less than five minutes? And all the rental places had a minimum time frame of what, 2 hours?

Yeah, no.

Another dive into the murky brine.

Today’s text, since he wasn’t able to send one yesterday, said only this:

‘So close, sir. Just a little more form on the last part.’

He wondered if thought of the texts as encouraging or sarcastic. At least he was there to offer his opinion about the danged trick that even he was trying to land.

Okay, time to try the Magikarp Splash again.

That was strange—

Had not gone out today?

Well, this was the first time he was going to do the Magikarp Splash before the older man.

(And he hoped the other wasn’t watching.)

How hilariously ironic.

He already had a Magikarp of his own, but the Gyarados he hooked wasn’t as… feisty… as the one he’d caught in the Safari Zone.

Anyway, once he’d shooed the Gyarados away, he threw the line back out into the water and began the waiting game anew.

He didn’t realize that was one for waiting the day away, for one singular nibble…

Huh.

What was with the small shard of something he’d found under the shifting sands?

Weird.

Anyway, he dismisses the thought of renting a wetsuit for the diving.

He’s getting used to it as he dove underwater.

He knew that his Meganium was going throw a hissy fit if he showed up with another Grass-type…

Who knew that their species were fucking territorial? Not to mention, extremely jealous?

The little… simian (not that he knew that it was a Grookey; anything past the upper five hundred of the Pokédex was a mystery to him) continued to wave its branch around at something.

If he cared a little more about the world around him, and had some more of his almost-extinguished emotional capacity, he’d be thinking about how the little monkey looked like a clumsy little wizard (or witch, he didn’t know the gender) trying to practice some magic using the tiny little branch it held.

On to the next one, it seemed.

Weird fish.

No, really, , how did the older man love all these weird fish?

Once he’d thrown the Huntail back into the water, he threw the line out once more.

Maybe it was his fault he started so late…

Was he going to have enough time to land that stupid trick?

(And hopefully, before his boss did?)

The lingering idea of renting a wetsuit was still in the back of his mind as he took another dive into the murky surf.

Today’s text message was even shorter:

‘Better.’

Of course, same stipulation—go out much later in the day, closer to sunset, so that didn’t see him wipe out terribly as he attempted the Magikarp Splash.

Ah, and there it was.

His #1 target of the entire day.

Despite one of the events down at Slateport Beach running a simple fishing event, but—

There was something different about this one, and before his Frogadier could snipe it out of the puddle it was in—the Magikarp had decided to get the advantage and used Bounce before the Water-type could.

“Interesting,” was all he said, before the blur came out of his shadows once more and chucked a rock at the incoming blur crashing down fast—

Attempting to Smack it Down out of the air.

A few seconds later, a loud thudding noise caused a new crater close to where he stood.

“Feisty.”

Another Safari Ball was thrown.



catch attempt on Magikarp!

DUNK TANK (SPLASHFEST)
POSTED ON Aug 20, 2022 11:19:02 GMT

Well, he’d managed to dunk the previous occupant of the dunk tank…

Was today going to be any different?

He picked up the pitch, and was ready to bat—

Whack.

It wasn’t until 0.5 seconds later does he realize just who he’d dunked—

“Oh, fuck.”

Oops, !
