Natsui's Pokémon launched a series of attacks on Gyarados, and with a final jolt of electricity from Jolteon that dealt four tis the damage, Gyarados could take no more and fell stiffly to the ground.
"That should calm you down."
It's said that the reason Gyarados is so violent is that during evolution, the structure of its brain cells is reorganized, causing a drastic change in its personality.
Only after it becos familiar with or acknowledges its master will it truly settle down.
Rembering soone once said that stroking the horn on a Gyarados's head would make it gentler, Natsui couldn't help but walk over and gently stroke its hard horn with his right hand.
Sure enough, its expression slowly changed from initial resistance to acceptance.
After resting for a while to recover so stamina, Natsui repacked his bag and once again set off for Celadon City.
However, what he didn't know was that at this very mont, in a secret room beneath the Viridian City Gym, a conspiracy against him was already unfolding.
In the dimly lit room, Giovanni sat on a sofa. A Pokémon resembling a large cat with a red jewel embedded in its head was lying quietly at his feet.
With a knock on the door, a woman with a bob cut and glasses walked in.
Giovanni gave her a faint glance: "Matori. Well, have you investigated the matter?"
Matori took out a file and handed it to Giovanni. In the top right corner of the file was a blurry photo of Natsui!
"It's all been investigated." As a competent and ticulous secretary, she was naturally very efficient. "This person's na is Natsui, age 20. He ca to Kanto from the Kalos region half a month ago and has been challenging various gyms. According to Proton, he and the International Police were the ones who interfered in the S.S. Anne incident. Combined with the Silph Co. incident, he has now thwarted us twice."
Giovanni flipped through the file, which also contained general information on all of Natsui's Pokémon, including Zapdos and Gastly.
"Where is this person now?" Giovanni asked.
Matori pushed up her glasses: "Based on his travel patterns, after leaving Saffron City, his next destination should be the Celadon Gym in Celadon City."
"Celadon City?" Giovanni's brow furrowed slightly. "Isn't that International Police agent investigating our base in Celadon City?"
Matori nodded: "That's right. He has been lingering in Celadon City for several days. Although we managed to shake him off, it seems he hasn't given up the search."
"We can't let them et again. Send soone to eliminate that trainer." Giovanni's tone was as casual as squashing an ant. "Which of our field agents are currently near Celadon City?"
Matori thought for a mont: "Besides the base's security forces, the other executives have been dispatched to the Johto region, and most other personnel are scattered in other cities. Only Jessie and Jas are currently loitering around Celadon City."
"Then send them." Giovanni made his decision. However, after he spoke, seeing Matori's hesitation, he couldn't help but ask, "What? Is there a problem?"
"There is a slight problem…" Matori hesitated, choosing her words carefully. "Given Jessie and Jas's abilities, they don't seem very reliable. How about I dispatch my elite unit, the Matori Matrix, instead?"
"No need." Giovanni slowly lit a cigar. "Even if they can't eliminate him, they can at least delay him for a while. Take this opportunity and have your unit eliminate that rat in Celadon City first."
...
Celadon, the color of a dream-like rainbow.
As the second-largest city in the Kanto region, surpassed only by Saffron City, its most famous attractions, besides a university with an international reputation, were the large shopping malls everywhere and the renowned Celadon Ga Corner.
Walking down the street towards the Gym, Natsui suddenly slled a strange fragrance.
The scent was like a mixture of many perfus, drifting gently on the breeze and filling the entire street.
Following the scent, Natsui looked ahead and saw a rather large perfu shop, nestled between several tall buildings.
On an impulse, he walked over.
"Welco."
Upon entering the shop, several fashionably dressed female clerks were chatting at the counter. When they saw Natsui, they all started to giggle.
"Are you here to buy perfu?"
Natsui nodded, but looking at the dazzling array of perfus, he felt a bit overwheld, not knowing where to start.
One of the girls leaned in, looking him up and down with a smile, "Is it a gift for your girlfriend?"
"No, I don't have a girlfriend. I just want to buy a few bottles as gifts for so friends."
"Friends?" It's said that three won make a scene. The clerks, perhaps used to joking among themselves, clearly didn't believe Natsui's words. They exchanged a look and said slyly, "I bet it's not as simple as just 'friends'. Are you dating several girls at the sa ti?"
"Well..."
Before Natsui could speak, a soft yet sowhat stern voice suddenly ca from behind him.
"You girls, stop making such jokes with the custors!"
Hearing the voice, the female clerks imdiately straightened up. Natsui turned to look and saw a beautiful girl in a kimono with a red ribbon in her hair and shoulder-length hair walking over slowly.
"Manager, what are you doing here?"
The girl said, "Another delivery of perfu has arrived in the storeroom. Go and sort it out. I'll take care of things here."
With that, she walked up to Natsui and gave a slight bow.
"I'm sorry, they're used to joking around and sotis they don't watch what they say. Please don't mind them."
"Not at all, not at all."
Natsui waved his hand, not taking the matter to heart. By now, he had already recognized the girl's identity. It was the Celadon Gym Leader—Erika!
Erika walked to the shelf and asked, "So, what kind of perfu are you looking to buy?"
Natsui hesitated for a mont, then described the personalities of Koharu, Misty, and Sabrina to Erika. Finally, rembering how much Talia had helped him, he asked Erika to help him pick a perfu for her as well.
"I see." Erika nodded, walked to a section, and introduced, "Actually, all the perfus in our shop are quite good, but based on your descriptions, I would recomnd the following."
With that, she pointed to a few perfus in the very center of the shelf.
"These are common floral perfus, our shop's signature products. The two on the left, one is more suitable for a lively girl, while the other is better for a quieter girl. As for the two on the right, the scent isn't very strong, but it's quite long-lasting, which fits your requirents perfectly.
