He’d found some free time today and decided to pay a visit to Fallarbor Town, another box of macarons in hand—mostly because there was another gym here that had a non-trad challenge.

(And it was an open secret that he loved non-trad challenges so much so here he was.)

Of course he wasn’t expecting to be faced with something like…

Making a sandwich?

Once he’d arrived where the Gym was, though, his brows knitted together in confusion. The location was at a… Pokémon Ranch?

He hoped he’d arrived at the right location.

Strange as it may have seemed, this was the Gym, the Rhydon statues by the entrance being proof of that. It didn't take long for Andrea to appear in all her onesie-clad glory, accompanied by a cute little Fuecoco. "Hello there... , right?" Ever since being added in the group chat, she'd become a lot more familiar with Hoenn's Gym leaders. "Ooh, macaroons! Thank you so much!" She gratefully accepted the box of colorful treats.

"So you're here for a sandwich challenge. Come this way." The dragon-hooded girl led Alexei to a picnic table laden with all kinds of ingredients, from dairy and veggies to various meats. On a large plate in the middle, the bottom slice of bread had been set in advance, the top slice lying not far away. "Feel free to use any ingredients from this table, but you must use exactly five. Your Pokémon are welcome to help too!" The young woman explained.

OOC notes


You must add 1 ingredient to the sandwich per post, and you must use the roll command in each post. Having your Pokémon help you in the sandwich-making process (e.g. using a Pokémon with a slicing move to slice the ingredients, using Nacli’s salt to add flavor to the sandwich, etc.) will add 10 to your roll (cannot go higher than 100).

Now, unlike a certain spiky-headed idiot who’d already apparently come by here and made his own sandwich, he… he did marginally better with sandwich-making in general.

(I mean, if you’ve moved from another region altogether and needed some nutrition the first thing you’d definitely make is a sandwich, right? Until you got better at cooking?)

“Ooh, everything looks so… sweet,” he hummed with this grin on his face.

Little did he know that this was going to bite him regally in the ass later, so… plucking a Net Ball from his pocket he first summoned a Combee—which sparkled a little in the light of the sun. Yes this was a shiny Combee—which thankfully was female—and then cute little thing began to buzz around the table.

“I know, I know, you want to get something right away… let’s put some of this on the bread?” he mused, watching as the Combee was flittering over some sliced strawberries.

Yes this was not going to be a savory sandwich. No, he had no idea how the fuck this was going to go.

Either way. Time to ride and die!

"Ooh, shiny!" Andrea marveled at the deep orange Combee, while helping herself to a macaroon. Jalapeño wagged his stubby arms, demanding a macaroon as well. What a sweet baby boy!

Speaking of sweetness, Alexei went with strawberry as his first ingredient choice. A bold move, but would it pay off? Only time would tell.

How were those sweet sandwiches made again…?

He scanned the table but his Combee was faster than him, flitting over to where the whipped cream stood waiting, and grabbed the container. Now where was the spoon…?

“I should’ve grabbed this first, don’t you think?” he cackled quietly, to which the Combee gave a confused little buzzing noise. Ah well.

Time to apply the thick whipped cream…

Yep, the Fortree Gym leader had fully committed to the sweet sandwich route, creaming all over the bread. Was he making a sandwich or a dessert?

Andrea did not judge his choices. Quite the contrary, in fact. "Nice! It's like you're making a sandwich that's also a dessert!" She giddily remarked, while her Fuecoco growled supportively, wolfing down a spare macaroon.

“In some region far from here, apparently—they have sandwiches that have this kind of content, so—” he chuckled quietly as the Combee buzzed over to Andrea, circling her a few times before returning to where he was trying to pick out the next ingredient.

Okay, so he had the cream and the sliced strawberries… what else, what else—

Ah!

“This one?” he asked the Combee, who hummed enthusiastically as she circled around the sliced apples before he picked up a few and layered it atop the cream.

Hold up, let him cook. Sure, adding a bunch of sweet ingredients to a sandwich may have seemed questionable at first to the untrained eye, but Alexei was a man with a plan. The whipped cream and the strawberries had merely been a precursor to the real secret ingredient: A very nice apple that would keep any doctor away.

"I love apples! Apples are the best! They remind me of Fuecoco!" Andrea jovially remarked. Technically she wasn't supposed to help the challengers by giving them tips, but she couldn't help being excited at his latest choice. The apple slices fell so nicely over the cream-covered bread, it looked like they'd always belonged there. A perfect 100!

Never had a sliced apple come out so perfectly atop a sandwich. And what a beauty it was, too!

“Two more, two more to go…” he hummed quietly—knowing that the Combee so desperately wanted to approach the jar of thick, golden liquid she’d spotted however there had to be some restraint before that happened.

Thankfully, there were some bananas that they could add to the sandwich, too.

“This?” he continued, and the Combee even tried to pick up the banana itself just for him to take!

Seeing the little Combee attempt to pick up that banana despite having no arms elicited a small giggle from the novice Gym leader. "She's just trying to help! Bananas are a good choice!" The young woman remarked.

Andrea reached for the box of macaroons to grab one, only to find out that her Fuecoco had already eaten all of them. "Jalapeño, how many did you eat?! You're gonna get a tummy ache!" She worriedly exclaimed, while the fire croc let out a loud burp.

“She doesn’t have her arms—at least, not yet!” he chuckled as the Combee buzzed his way, humming affectionately as he added the sliced bananas to the rest—

And there was one more ingredient left.

“Oh, alright—go get it,” he conceded, as the Combee literally flew towards the pot of honey and buzzed really, absolutely excitedly as he reached for it and unscrewed the top of the jar and added just the right dollop serving to the sandwich.

"She's doing a fantastic job even without arms!" The young PokéManiac remarked as the little Combee that could fetched the last ingredient, which predictably was a glob of sweet, sweet honey. With that, Alexei's sugary treat of a sandwich had reached completion. It was time for Andrea to bestow one of her well-known by now stringent reviews.

"Hmmm, using nothing but sweet ingredients was a bold move. However, what this sandwich lacks in variety, it makes up for with consistency. The fruit and the honey make for an interesting contrast, while at the same time blending perfectly together. I'll give this an above average rating of 59!" The dragon-costumed girl stated. It might have seemed low, but that grade was quite good all things considered.

"Now comes the fun part of the challenge!" Andrea dropped her strict reviewer persona, smiling and happily clasping her hands together. "You and Combee will have to eat this sandwich together!" She announced, her Fuecoco waving its stubby arms in anticipation.

Not everyone was easy to please when it came to making the best food—

“Well, at least we stuck with the theme!” he chuckled as the Combee buzzed excitedly and began nibbling on a smaller portion of the sweet sandwich.

“See, Combee—they survive on sweet things, and sweet only. Hence why I picked this particular sandwich to make…” he went on as he bit into one end and tasted the apple—the apple was the part that stood out the most, along with the little dollop of honey.

He looked over to the Combee who was snacking on the smaller bit—they did thrive on sweet things.

After a while, he then broke a bit off and offered it to Andrea.

“Wanna try it?”

Seeing both of them savor the sweet taste of victory made Andrea's smile widen. Being offered a piece of the sandwich too caught the eccentric cosplayer by surprise, but she was more than happy to accept, sharing part of it with Jalapeño. "It tastes pretty good! Thanks, Mr. Alexei!"

Once everyone had had their fill, the young Gym leader presented Alexei with a handcrafted badge shaped like a nondescript creature's head. "For your remarkable bond with Combee, you've earned this Monster Badge! Wear it with pride!" She exclaimed, pinning the badge on the man's chest. Ouch.
