Pokemon: Bounty Hunter

Silas swore to himself that he would never do that again it nearly cost him his life.

When Pidgeot landed near Celadon City, Silas had to stand still for over ten minutes to catch his breath. Only then did his rapidly beating heart begin to calm down.

Sure, it looked cool but the side effects were brutal.

After returning Pidgeot to its Poké Ball, Silas followed his usual routine and headed to the Pokémon Center in Celadon City.

He'd always wanted to complain about this why wasn't there an online reservation system yet? Every time he wanted to challenge a Gym, he had to go to the local Pokémon Center just to make an appointment.

Whether it was the Bounty Hunter Center or any other official facility, everything was clearly connected to the same network, yet you still couldn't make reservations online.

It was incredibly inconvenient.

After completing the reservation and booking a room, Silas walked along the street, still thinking about this annoyance.

"Fortune-telling! Any Trainers interested in a fortune reading?"

A woman dressed like a traditional Japanese fortune teller stood by the roadside, holding a flag and calling out. Beside her was a yellow, fox-like Pokémon that looked half-asleep.

Most of the locals seemed to be used to her presence and didn't spare her a glance.

A few outsiders like Silas, however, looked at her with curiosity.

The fortune teller raised her voice, "I can read your Pokémon's nature your fortune for today depends on it!"

"It's only 1000 Poké Dollars per reading! Abra will give you the best answers!"

To his surprise, a few people actually got interested and walked over for a reading.

Silas watched with amusement for a while before walking away.

Reading a Pokémon's nature—was that done using Abra's Synchronize ability? How interesting.

According to research, the Synchronize ability could transfer a negative status condition to the opponent during battle. For Abra, it also manifested as synchronizing personality traits in everyday life.

Of course, Abra's other common ability, Inner Focus, was more suitable for training and battling, as it meant their psychic powers would be more potent.

Still, Psychic-type Pokémon were already rare let alone Abra. Most people didn't even know that Synchronize could synchronize natures.

Abra was a Pokémon that slept for 18 hours a day. This was because constantly using its psychic powers drained its energy.

Thanks to its exceptional natural talent, most Abra could master Teleport a move many Psychic-types struggled to learn.

For Abra, it could Teleport freely and repeatedly, almost like it was using Double Team.

Even while asleep, if it sensed danger, it would instantly Teleport away. It wouldn't stay in one place for more than an hour.

That's why it was so hard to catch an Abra.

Come to think of it, Abra's final evolved form—Alakazam—was one of Silas's dream Pokémon: incredibly powerful and rumored to have an IQ of 5000.

But that was something to only dream about for now.

As he walked through Celadon City, Silas noticed it was even more bustling than the previous cities he had visited.

Skyscrapers stood tall on either side of the streets, with people constantly coming and going at the entrances. In the distance, several specialty streets were packed with crowds.

Those included the famous Beauty Street and Perfume Street of Celadon City.

Silas's destination this time was Perfume Street.

At the entrance stood a man wearing a purple evening gown and a red bow tie dressed very fashionably performing a magic show.

With a snap of his fingers, the rose in his hand transformed into a plush Suicune toy.

"Wow~!"

Children in the crowd gasped with excitement, and quite a few young women also cast admiring glances at the handsome magician.

Encouraged by the attention, the man grew more animated. With a wave of his hand, he commanded, "Jumpluff, use Cotton Spore!"

The blue, round Pokémon beside him let out a cheerful cry. From its three cotton-like tufts, it released flurries of white cotton into the air, forming the shape of Suicune once again.

The leafy tufts on its head and its round little feet were still trembling as part of the illusion.

"So cute!" The crowd erupted into cheers once more.

Jumpluff truly was an incredibly lovable Pokémon. It could float on the wind and even travel the globe.

Silas, standing to the side, clapped his hands in appreciation too. That was some impressive move control something even most Pokémon Coordinators couldn't pull off.

Sure enough, every city had its hidden talents.

As he turned to leave, he still heard the voice of the man behind him,

"Miss, this is my autographed photo. Please, you must accept it."

…A little narcissistic, admittedly.

Walking down the Perfume Street, Silas looked at the signs before finally pushing open the door to a perfume store.

"Welcome! You've arrived at Rainbow Perfume Boutique."

A nearby attendant immediately came over and greeted him enthusiastically.

The Rainbow Perfume Boutique—just from the name, it was obvious this was an enterprise under the Rainbow Gym.

The Rainbow Gym is a Gym led mainly by female Trainers, and its primary type is Grass. Almost all its members are beautiful women.

Because of this, many Trainers linger near the Rainbow Gym every day for the sake of "artistic appreciation." Especially on hot days, every patch of grass along the roadside hides at least one person crouching there.

Under the leadership of the Gym Leader Erika, the Rainbow Gym's main enterprises focus on two areas: floral arrangement and other arts education, as well as the production and sale of perfumes.

Many bounty hunter guild missions involve collecting raw materials for perfumes. For example, Gloom's nectar is a long-term acquisition item constantly posted by the Rainbow Gym.

After all, this stuff is always in short supply.

"I'd like to look at your intimacy perfumes,"

Silas said politely to the attendant.

"Of course. Please follow me."

The attendant led Silas deeper into the store.

The perfumes from Rainbow Perfume Boutique are not only more fragrant and pleasant-smelling but also come in special categories.

One such category is what Silas just mentioned—Intimacy Perfumes.

As the name implies, spraying these perfumes on your Pokémon helps increase the bond and closeness between Trainer and Pokémon.

This is their specialty. You won't find these just anywhere. Since he'd come all this way, he definitely had to stock up.

"May I ask which Pokémon you're intending to use them on?" the attendant asked.

"Pidgeot, Boldore, and Blaziken. If possible, could you also recommend a general-use Grass-type perfume? Oh, and one for Garchomp and Lucario too,"

Silas replied after some thought.

"Of course! For Pidgeot, we recommend this Wind Berry Fragrance. Its overall scent is more delicate and soothing, which is an excellent choice for a Pokémon like Pidgeot.

As for Boldore, which is quite rare, our store manager suggests the Sea Salt Stone aroma. This scent is especially suitable for most Rock-type Pokémon, helping them better appreciate…"

The attendant launched into an enthusiastic and detailed explanation.

In the Rainbow Perfume Boutique, the one thing you must never do is question the quality of their perfumes. Otherwise, you might get kicked out on the spot just like what happened to Ash in the anime.

Silas wasn't about to make that mistake. He carefully sniffed each perfume one by one.

"Hmm… Truly refreshing and invigorating."

"I'd also like to take a look at your perfumes for women. Any recommendations?"

Two hours later, Silas stepped out of the perfume shop, both hands full of shopping bags. The price he paid for them? A significant decrease in the amount of money on his card.
