Chapter 34 - Pokémon Fashion Flash

Me and my friends were walking in a city, which Brock had leaded me, Ash and Misty into. "Scissor Street?" Ash asked as he read the huge sign on top of a building the minute we walked in. "Why did we came here?" Ash asked.

"You'll see," Brock said as he looked around while we walked in the busy streets. "There sure are a lot of Pokémon beauty parlors," Misty comment. "Yeah," I agreed. "Mmm," Brock hummed as he continued to look left to right. "Is there's any place special you want to visit, Brock?" Ash asked.

"Mmm," Brock continued to hum. "I take that as a 'Yep'," I said with a smirk. "Wait a minute, I just remembered that Scissor Street is also called Breeder's Lane," Misty said with a smile. "Where is it?" Brock muttered.

"Wonder if my Mom will appear here," I joked, and Misty chuckled. "So that's why we're here, Brock always got to see the latest Breeder's gear," Ash said.

"Some of the best Breeders have shops here, there's a lot of terrific makeup places, and fashion salons, too, just for Pokémon," Brock said. Misty suddenly ran forward, "Hey." She stopped near a poster and Brock, Ash and I followed. The poster had an Ekans and Koffing dressed up with a number of gaudy accessories and a makeup on.

"Look! This must be the newest fashion. How cute!" Misty said with a smile. "Um..." I trailed off and glanced at Ash who shrugged. "Come on, we got to go in," Misty said as she linked her arm with mine and then dragged me away, with Ash and Brock following behind.

Misty dragged me for a few minutes with her before we came a stop near the shop with the same poster. Ash and Brock stood with us as we heard in the speakers a man's voice, that sounded pretty familiar to me, "You won't believe how beautiful a Pokémon can be. Step in and see for yourself, let us dazzle you with the latest fashion, by the experts arts of Salon Roquet."

"Did he just say 'Salon Roquet'?" Ash asked. "Why is that name sounds so familiar?" Misty asked. "Why is that voice sounds so familiar?" I asked as I tilted my head. "Pika, Pika, Pikachu," my Pikachu said from the top of my head. "You're right, maybe it's nothing," I agreed. Brock looked at the poster, "Is that supposed to be a Pokémon, or a Christmas tree?"

I chuckled and when I turned to the window to look inside, the doors slid open and a woman walked out happily, with a Raichu and a Dodrio that were coloured and had their fur a lot of makeup. Ash, me and both our Pikachu looked at them in shock as they walked past. Ash and I exchanged a look.

"I think I'll get in line," Misty said with a smile. Ash and I looked at her in shock, "Huh?!" Brock jumped forward with a smile as he pointed to the side, "It's there!"

We followed his finger to a shop, and he quickly ran toward it. "I found it!" Brock said as he stood in front of the door. "I've been looking all over for this place!" He said as we walked closer. "This is the store you've been looking for?" Misty asked.

Brock didn't answer as he slowly reached for the handle but froze. "What's up?" I asked and walked past him. I opened the handle and stepped in with Ash and Misty. A beautiful young woman was standing there, gently massaging a Chansey. She glanced at us and turned back to the Pokémon, "Hey, can I help you?"

Brock ran in and bumped into me, making me give him a look before looking back at the woman. "Just relax, release all of your tension," the woman said to Chansey. After a moment, she stood up straight, "Now, you'll have more energy."

Chansey jumped off of the table, looking in the mirror in delight. "Beautiful," I said with a smile. "Pika," my Pikachu agreed. A man walked in, "Chansey, I came for you, my darling." The woman and Chansey walked closer. "Don't you look precious?!" the man asked in delight.
