Aura and her friends arrived in Celadon City, the great metropolis, renowned for both its tall buildings and its good scents.

♧♧♧♧♧

The group stood on a street that was swarming crowds of people and flower shops. It was certainly a large city, and definitely bustling. But unlike the madness of cities such as Saffron City, Celadon City possessed a calm, cosmopolitan atmosphere. The people they came across seemed polite, going about their business as usual; Arranging flowers or having chats at coffee shops and cafés.

After making an hour stop at the Pokémon Centre, the group walked up and down the streets, looking for the Celadon Gym. It seemed impossible to them with all of the skyscrapers, even with a map on their hands.

They wandered for about half an hour, until Cilan's keen nose picked up a lovely scent.

"Hm?" Cilan closed his eyes and sniffed the air, smelling something very fragrant and delicious.

Mairin caught a whiff of whatever the Connoisseur smelled, too. "Something smells heavenly!" She smiled.

"Perfume..." Cilan identified.

*Achoo!*

Aura, Jin and Jun slumped forward on the bench they're currently sitting on. They don't look so great and the pink fluffy masks they're wearing, only to just block out most of the intense smell coming from the city. They can't wait a minute longer for the masks to fully block it all out.

Steven patted Aura's back as support and looked at the hypnotised duo. "What's wrong?" He asked.

Cilan and Mairin ignored the question, and continued to sniff the air, smelling a nice fragrance not too far from where they were standing.

"We should find out where that scent leads to." Cilan suggested.

"Sounds like a good idea." Zoey agreed.

Mairin nodded. "I want to check it out." She turned to her brother. "Can we?"

Jin coughed inside his mask. "If our noses are burning this much, a perfume store must be nearby." He grumbled, his voice muffled by his mask.

"Please no..." Jun whispered, holding down her ears with her paws and curled her tail around her body.

"You all can go without us." Aura told them, her voice also muffled by the fluffy mask. "With our sharp senses, multiple scents at once is just too much for us." She explained. "Even the faintest smell can give us a light sneeze attack. If others like it, that's fine. But incense are more our thing."

The guys nodded and Zoey nodded in understanding, while Mairin pouted. But she let it go and followed the Pokémon, where they picked up the scent.

Cilan and Alain quickly went after the them.

Steven turned to Aura. "You can look around town if you want. But be sure to go to the Pokémon Centre if you needed to." He preminded. "Call me if you're going to the Gym instead."

Aura silently nodded.

Steven smiled and turned around to catch up with the others, but stopped and looked back to the girls. "You coming, Zoey?" He inquired.
