i must chat about geeta for a bit. can't really do that well on twitter, so i'll do it here.
Mainly about her canonical relationship with her subordinate, Larry. Seems the gag is that she's an over-baring boss working him to the bone, and YEAHHHh she sort of is. BUT I don't think she's being mean or rude to him.
The issue is that she thinks that Larry is very talented and should push himself, or at least be more motivated. And well, Larry believes himself to be very average, as we all know. What are we putting effort into? 'I'm just some guy'.
The Blueberry academy DLC allows for them to chat for a little while, and offers more info on how they do or don't get along. Masters EX, now that Geeta has been introduced, has some more information on Geeta's thoughts about Larry as well.
( that's not what he meant geeta) She says she recommended him for an out of region competition after this. My analysis: "Would traveling get you excited for your work, Mr. Larry?" Also it implies that it's difficult to convince him to travel? He must like to stick to his hunting grounds. Hopefully this isn't a mistranslation.
Here's where she mentions him in Masters EX
She also talks about her hobby of gem collecting, really on the nose about her job of scoping out and recruiting rare or sparkling talent. She sees something in him that he doesn't, considering she allows/recommends him to do so much. I know much of it is for Larry's salaryman joke, BUT. it's very interesting that Geeta is keenly aware that one of her employees is unmotivated. He must really have something going on that he's oblivious to, because she has no intentions of letting him go.
This may be hard to see in the game, because of how it's staged for us as players, but in the reality of the story, Larry's gym is considered difficult. The first rough patch in the journey to region champion ( i had a tough time with him because i forget what normal types are weak to, but that's besides the point )
The REAL POINT IS, Geeta values Larry, so she's gonna be a little annoying.

I would not be surprised if Larry said "while you were defending an orca, I studied the blade," and by studied the blade he means he managed to master bladesmithing and he is really good at it. Next week he starts his job in landscaping and he's gonna be good at that too.

Louis Tomlinson woke up and said “let’s remind everyone that Larry is real” and I love him for that
