Chapter no.316 Mystery at Celadon City Gym

[ POV Change ]
[ Celadon City Gym ]
A beautiful blonde woman took in the Celadon gym's appearance and thought it looked like a giant shop more than anything. There were all kinds of bottles of perfume adorning the windows.
As the woman was about to enter the gym, she noticed an older man kept peeking into the different windows. She stopped and gave him a questioning look. The man noticed her gaze and gave a mischievous smile.
"Heheheh, this gym is great!" he said. "It's full of beautiful women!"
The woman rolled her eyes at this comment thinking this man was some kind of pervert.
" Oi, you pervert !" The blonde woman exclaimed scaring the perverted old man who turned to see the woman come to him.
" ~Hello~ there Sir, my name is Lisa and may I ask you if you are looking for a perfume to attract beautiful ladies to yourself ?" Lisa said as the Old man blinked a few times at the strange turn of events since normally people would threat him with a report.
The old man cleared his throat and asked," What can I do for you little lady ?"
" ... " Lisa blinked a few times while looking down at the old man who winked at her.
" Sir, a handsome man like you needs only one thing to attract the ladies and it is this." Lisa exclaimed as she pulled out a highly decorated bottle.
" Oh, and what do I have to pay to get that bottle ?" The Old Man said while wiggling his eyebrows.
" 1000 pokedollars." Lisa answered back.
Hearing the bottle's price, the old man's bravado immediately went away as he screamed," You should be ashamed of yourself, trying to scam the elderly."
" Oh, I think officer Jenny would be ashamed arresting an elderly pervert."
The old man tried to turn and run but felt himself frozen as Lisa smiled.
" Pay up old man or your going to spend your last days in prison dropping your soap."
The Old man looked at Lisa with terror in his eyes.
" Ok, I'll pay."
" Of course, Sir, thank you for your purchase." Lisa said as she handed the old man the bottle while taking out all the money from the old man's wallet.
As the old man felt the hold around him disappear he ran as fast as he could.
Lisa chuckled as she saw the old man disappear into an alleyway.
[ Green, stop fooling around ]
A psychic voice called out to Green who had disguised herself as Lisa, she rolled her eyes and entered into the Gym. As soon as she entered, Green was met with the strong smell of various perfumes in the gym.
...
In the alleyways, the old man huffed and puffed as he gazed upon the decorated bottle.
He touched the bottle whose covering immediately peeled off revealing a 1 pokedollar shampoo.
" Mew Damnit !" The old man screamed as he threw the shampoo bottle on the ground before it bounced back hitting him in the crouch.

" Hello there, would you like to purchase a bottle of our new line of strawberry scented perfume?" A girl with green haired asked.the disguised green who looked interested before psychic scream snapped her out.
[ Green, Focus ! ]
The disguised Green sighed before showing the green haired girl a badge that caused the woman's eyes to widen as she said in a cold tone.
" Please follow me."
.....
Outside of the Celadon City Gym Looker rushed out of the restaurant as he ran towards the Gym while he tried to remember if the woman he saw just now was indeed her.
( ~ Creek ~ )
" Hey, watch it there !" A driver yelled out as Looker ignored him and ran through the road without any concern for his safety as his mind was racing when he saw that woman.
On the SS. Anne while he was battling against team rocket against the Viridian City Gym Leader Blue Oak, he had a brief skermish with that blonde woman before she had escaped through teleport but what buisness does she have in the Celadon City Gym ?
Could it be, another terrorist attack ?
Looker slammed open the door to the Gym causing everyone within to turn towards him.
" Excuse me, I am trying to find a blonde woman wearing a black and red dress that just came in. I need to talk to her." Looker exclaimed as a blue haired girl walked towards Looker and said.
" Hello there, Mr..."
" Handerson."
" Well then Mr Handerson, I am Erika, the Leader of the Celadon City Gym and I would like to ask you to leave the premises and as for the woman you are looking for, she is not here."
" But..."
" Mr Handerson, I am the Gym Leader and I am willing to use force against someone who is causing a ruckus in my gym over someone who isn't even present here."
" Erika's " words caused Looker to frown as he pulled out a red and black PokeBall pendant that didn't seem to get a rise out of Erika.
" Are you leaving or not ?"
Looker nodded as he quickly turned to leave while he pocketed the pendant.
This pendant was to secretly tell a Gym Leader that they were a part of the Law but Erika didn't seem to react to him.
There was something wrong here.
Erika meanwhile glanced at the cashier before nodding. The Cashier immediately pushed a red button beneath the counter.

[ Omake Paragraph ]
Articuno is traditionally portrayed as a vengeful god of winter, and this is reflected in most of the legends about them. There is the one where, if one is to make eye contact with it or challenge it to a battle, it will gaze into their soul, and if they fail to slay it instantly, it shall judge them (or "you", for the story is often told as a warning) and turn every cell of their body to ice.
There is the one about weather, for Articuno have always been blamed even for mild flurries. Snow comes from the sky and often with wind, so the prophets of old need not have pointed to them for them to inevitably be associated with blizzards. For instance, there is a story of an Articuno that roosts on a large blue hill east-northeast of Unova and soars around the land every winter, creating blizzards with each flap of its wings. Similar tales exist in Sinnoh of one on Mount Coronet, and perhaps all around the world where snowstorms and Articuno alike are known.
And then there is the one of it appearing to lost travelers and guiding them to their doom, a well-known tale whose standard form needs no elaboration. Curiously, a variant of the myth shows a softer side, where Articuno attempt to lead them to safety. The travelers in this version of the story have heard that Articuno bring doom, run the other way, and freeze to death on a mountainside. Perhaps this shows that Articuno have a friendly side, and the people who tell this tale have been aided by them in ages past, but perhaps it is merely a satire reflecting on the dangers of getting lost in icy mountains or taking myths at face value.
