Just That One Petite Parable From Paldea

Geeta approached the door to Clavell's house. Striding over, she rang the doorbell with a decisive thrust of her finger. Clavell immediately answered.

"Your directions were... rather obtuse but I have arrived," said Geeta.

"Ah, Geeta, good to see you!" saiud Clavell. "You better be ready, for our Top Champion I've made a champion lunch!"

"Borrowing terms from the Galarians I see," Geeta said in her usual airy tone.

Clavell guided Geeta to her seat, then promptly went to his kitchen. However upon opening the door he foundd a ghastly surprise - smoke coming from his oven.

"Lordy! My Klawf claws - they're all burnt!"

Looking around in a panic, he spied something out the window - a sandwich shop. Clavell grinned mischievously.

"Now there's an idea... I could simply purchase a sandwich and claim it is my own handiwork! Brilliant, Clavell!"

He began climbing through said window, his old bones creaking to get through, when suddenly he heard a voice that made him freeze.

"Clavell? What are you doing?"

He whipped around best he could in his awkward position to see Geeta looking straight at him with her big, doe-y eyes.

"Geeta! I- I was just doing an exercise trend popular with the kids! Come on and try, it's fun!"

Geeta blinked, then turned to the smoldering oven. "That's an awful lot of smoke."

"Oh that's not smoke. It's just steam! Steam from the steamed clams we'e having."

"...What, perchance, is a clam? Is it like a Clampearl?"

"...I'll explain over lunch! You head right along back to your seat."

Geeta raised an eyebrow but did so. As soon as she was gone Clavell finally managed to burst through the window and run to the sandwich shop.

----------------

Geeta sat waiting in the dining room, wondering what was taking Clavell so long with his Clamperl. It was then Clavell entered carrying a large silver tray loaded to the brim with various sorts of sandwiches.

"Geeta! Prepare yourself for my tastebud-tingling sandwiches!"

Geeta raised an eyebrow. "I was assuming these were the... Steamed clam..perl? You told me about.``

"What? Oh, I meant to say steamed sams, it's another term for sandwiches!"`

"...You refer to sandwiches by the name "steamed sams"?"

Clavell gulped. "Er, yes, it's a local saying in some places in Paldea."

Geeta steepled her fingers. "Fascinating.... Which places?"

"Er... midwest Paldea mostly."

"Really? I've been to Cascarrafa on Kofu's gym inspections and have never heard such a thing."

Clavell started sweating. "What? No, it's a Porto Marinada turn of phrase."

"Interesting..."

Geeta kept her fingers steepled for a moment before picking up a sandwich and biting into it.

"These sandwiches remind me of the ones they have at Every Wich Way..."

Clavell blanched. "OF course not. This recipe has been passed down through my family for generations."

"An ancestral recipe for steamed sams."

"Yes."

"Odd. Nothing in these sandwiches appears to be steamed."

"Well, you see, there's the thing, I - oh, give me a second."

Clavell swiftly went to his kitchen, only to open the door and see the entire thing was on fire. He paused briefly before looping right back around to his dining room, the door swinging on its hinges.

"Well that was a productive meal! I'm stuffed You best be going now Geeta."

"Perhaps I sha-"

Geeta suddenly slood up and pointed, uncharacteristic shock on her face. "What Treasures Of Ruin-brought calamity is going on in there?"

Clavell paused, then looked to his burning kitchen, then back to Geeta. "Area Zero radiation."

"Outside Area Zero, independent of the Terastilization phenomenon, exclusively Fire Tera energy, localized entirely within your kitchen?!"

"Precisely!"

"...Fascinating. May I have a look?"

"I would rather you not."

Clavell quickly escorted Geeta outside. A voice yelled out from an upper window. "Clavell! The house is burning!"

"No Tyme, it's just Tera crystals," said Clavell.

"Well, you are a very strange man, Clavell, but... You sure steamed those sams!" Geeta said with a smile.

She headed off. "I'M GOING TO KILL YOU CLAVELL!" said Tyme from above.

Clavell quickly realized that while he had conquered Geeta the fire wold be the least of his worries.

Just going to be straight up, you're a much better writer than me, so I don't even know what to really critique haha. Geeta being very serious is definitely something I expected, although ngl this only makes me think back at how awful of a champion she is. If she's actually serious, why can't she be serious at the one thing you want her to be serious in? Sorry got carried away there haha. I think you did a great job portraying Clavell's relatively silly personality for sure. I love love love how you made Tyme be the strict person she is and the one who scolds Clavell when he does something stupid in line haha! Honestly this snippet makes me want a sandwich even though I just ate haha.

This is clearly gonna be epic with a mythical scale!

"Geeta! I- I was just doing an exercise trend popular with the kids! Come on and try, it's fun!"

"Oh that's not smoke. It's just steam! Steam from the steamed clams we'e having."

"...What, perchance, is a clam? Is it like a Clampearl?"

Grammar error here, we're is we'e.

"Geeta! Prepare yourself for my tastebud-tingling sandwiches!"

Liar liar, pants on fire!

"Outside Area Zero, independent of the Terastilization phenomenon, exclusively Fire Tera energy, localized entirely within your kitchen?!"

Clavell : Well, duh, I secretly have a lab you se-
Geeta : Mind if I take out my lie detector for no reason?
[everybody goes deaf from the beeping]

This was definitely one of the best side-splitter stories with the hilariously dull acceptance of all those extremely funny lies.
Favorite Character : Geeta takes the crown here, with her being the core of the jokes.
Favorite Moment : The event in which Clavell is just like, "Oh, there's a big fire. Oh well."
