After Ash captured Priape, Red and Ash's trio successfully arrived in Celadon City, reaching it smoothly in less than half a day of travel.
Celadon City is one of the most prosperous cities in the Kanto region. It is not only ho to a League Gym but also to the well-known departnt store and the Celadon Ga Corner, making it an ideal place for travelers to enjoy themselves. However, the residents of Celadon City felt alienated by the Ga Corner, believing that such an establishnt tarnished the city's image.
But only a few people knew that while the 'Celadon Ga Corner' appeared to be an 'ordinary' arcade, it was actually a secret operational experint base controlled by Team Rocket, with its underground structure reaching a terrifying four levels deep.
Underground Base — Third Floor
A young man with black hair and blood-red eyes, wearing a dark windbreaker with an 'R' emblem on the left chest, black trousers, and cheap, non-prescription spectacles, was slowly inputting a password to enter the underground laboratory.
Dan, who had previously disappeared from Silph Co., was now dispatched to the underground experint base in Celadon City to assist Dr. Namba in capturing Experint Body No. 2.
"Dr. Namba, the whereabouts of Experint Body No. 2 have been found!" Dan said.
"It seems the data for Experint Body No. 0 can be improved again!"
The equipnt in front of Dan began projecting an image. Besides Giovanni, the leader, who had seen Dr. Namba's true face, all other Team Rocket mbers could only communicate with Dr. Namba through images.
"Currently, Experint Body No. 2 is at the Celadon Gym, adopted by Erika, the Gym Leader. Due to the importance of our Team Rocket's operational experint base, I did not rashly break into the Celadon Gym!"
Dan reported the situation to Dr. Namba, but Dr. Namba did not have much patience for Dan.
"I don't care what thods you use, you must bring Experint Body No. 2 to within these two days. If it weren't for your Team Rocket's incompetence, Experint Body No. 2 wouldn't have been missing for so long!"
"Rest assured, Dr. Namba! Our Team Rocket will definitely not disappoint 'you'!"
Dan bowed his head to express an apology, but his eyes revealed killing intent, especially with the emphasis on 'you'. If not for this person being a Pokémon Professor recomnded by Lord Giovanni, Dan would have imdiately found Dr. Namba's true location and brutally...
"Heh, useless anger…"
Dr. Namba sneered and disconnected the video call.
The Perfu Shop
The four arrived in the center of Celadon City. Ash's trio were shocked by the towering buildings, spinning around a few tis to admire the city's prosperous beauty. Just as Red was about to bring them back to earth and stop their embarrassing display, Pikachu was attracted by a scent emanating from afar.
"There's a very fragrant sll~" Brock said, captivated.
"It's true~" Misty agreed.
Suddenly, Brock seed to be in a daze, walking forward on his own.
"It looks like we can easily find the Celadon Gym!" Red joked, preparing to follow Brock's pace.
"Celadon Gym? What are you talking about, big brother?" Ash asked, puzzled, but still followed the group.
A mont later, Brock was seen pressing his face against a glass window, staring raptly at the beautiful scene inside.
"Brock, what are you doing?" Ash said, speechless, wondering if he wasn't embarrassed.
"Ash, I think I've fallen in love with this city!"
Brock's eyes ford hearts as he gazed adoringly at the many shapely female staff mbers inside the window.
"I think I'll stay in this city for a while…"
"Hey, don't go overboard, Brock!" Ash said, disgusted, turning to tell Red and Misty to quickly drag Brock away, only to find his older brother already inside the store, holding an Eevee.
"Long ti no see, Eevee. I didn't expect to et you here. It seems you've been doing well lately." Red smiled, stroking the docile Eevee in his arms. At this mont, Eevee rubbed Red's cheek nostalgically, its eyes narrowed in joy.
This Eevee was none other than Experint Body No. 2, which Red had rescued in Viridian Forest, an Eevee capable of changing into three forms at will.
"I can't believe Eevee isn't bothered by Mr. Red at all, even though it took us several days back then…"
The young woman who had a good relationship with Eevee said with a hint of jealousy. When Red entered the store, the Eevee, which had been in her arms, joyfully jumped into Red's embrace, completely disregarding her feelings.
Misty and Pikachu also walked in at this mont, and the other staff mbers also went up to introduce various perfus to Misty.
"This is it, this floral perfu is perfect for you."
With that, the staff mber sprayed so perfu on Misty's hand, allowing her to experience the scent first.
"It's very good, such a lovely scent…"
Misty, slling the faint perfu, agreed and decided to buy the floral perfu from the staff mber.
"I can give you a discount on this!"
Seeing Misty's intention to buy, the staff mber offered a discount.
"Forget it, Misty!"
Ash, who had grown impatient, also walked in.
(It seems Ash's usual bluntness is about to make an appearance again…)
Red, stroking Eevee, looked ahead, intending to witness the upcoming scene.
"Even if you wear perfu, it's completely aningless!" Ash retorted.
"What did you say?!" Misty said fiercely.
"Sir, what you just said is incorrect!"
Erika, a beautiful and mature woman in a blue kimono, appeared and refuted Ash's tactless comnt.
"What you just said about perfu being aningless—that's truly impolite!"
"Perfu is just sothing won wear to bewitch n, isn't it?!"
Ash was startled by Erika's rebuttal, but he still stood firm in his opinion, then grabbed Brock, who was drooling at the corner of his mouth and completely infatuated.
"See, Brock is bewitched by your perfu!"
(Ash, Ash, even I, your brother, can't save you this ti, you've really dug yourself into a hole~)
Red noticed a flicker of anger in Erika's eyes and shook his head, feeling deep 'regret' for Ash. The Eevee in his arms also curiously looked at Ash, who bore a striking resemblance to Red but had a completely different aura.
Erika first smiled kindly at Brock, then angrily pointed at Ash and retorted, "Listen carefully, perfu can also relax a person, calm them down, revitalize them, and even heal the soul!"
"Exactly!" "That's right!" "Pika!"
Ash's companions imdiately 'betrayed' him, standing behind Erika and agreeing.
"I don't need such a thing, because I'm always full of vitality and energetic!" Ash said with a proud smile.
"You have no other strengths besides that~" Misty leaned close to Ash, speaking venomously.
"Soone like you, who can't understand the benefits of perfu, shouldn't be allowed to stay here anymore!"
Erika issued an expulsion order, instructing the staff to quickly make Ash leave.
"You're really thick-skinned!" the staff mber retorted.
"No girl will ever like soone like you!"
