Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon, or else there'd be more episodes with Paul and Reggie, or the Striaton trio!
The only character I own is Akina, which would be the female protagonist of Pokemon Black and White.
::::::::::::::::::
"I never thought I'd see a city that rivaled Castelia in size…" Chili mumbled as he, his brothers, their Pokémon, and Akina and her Victini stared at the buildings of Celedon City.
"I second that…" Cress added.
Suddenly Cilan, Panpour, Pansage, Pansear, and Akina and her Victini sniffed the air, a dreamy look flitting across their faces.
"Something smells exquisite!" Cilan exclaimed.
"Yeah, I smell it too!" Akina said.
The trio of elemental monkeys and Victini let out cries of bliss as they sniffed the air.
"What's gotten into you guys?" Chili asked.
However, his question went unanswered, as the group suddenly took to find the source of the smell.
"Hey, guys, come back! Where're you going?" Chili yelled as he and Cress followed.
::::::::::
A couple minutes later, he and Cress found them staring into the window of a shop.
"That luscious smell is coming from here!" Cilan announced.
"Yeah, great, you found it. Good job, detective Cilan. Can we go find the gym now? I really wanna meet the gym leader, and maybe have a battle!" Chili grumbled.
"I think I might stay here a while…"
"Oh-kay, you go ahead and do that. Cress, Akina, Pansear, let's go-"
He paused when he noticed that said trainers, their Pokémon, and his own were gone.
"Huh, where'd they go?"
Cilan tapped his shoulder, and pointed inside. Chili peered in, and saw Akina sitting in a chair in the shop, Victini perched on her shoulder, as one of the girls running the shop offered her a bottle of perfume. Cress was talking to the other girl in the shop, while Pansear and Panpour were sitting on the counter.
"I've never seen these Pokemon before." She exclaimed as she studied Panpour and Pansear.
"We're from the Unova region, it's a pretty long ways away, so it's no surprise. These Pokemon are known as Panpour, Pansear, and Akina's is called Victini. We haven't seen many Kanto Pokemon back home either." Cress explained.
"This is one of our popular scents, it's called Heavenly Rose." The other girl, her name tag read Bell, stated as she sprayed some of the perfume on Akina's wrist.
"It's smells great!" Akina said as she took in the scent.
"Tini!" Victini cooed.
"We're having a sell!" Sally, the other store owner, announced.
At that moment, Chili stormed in, followed by a still dazed Cilan and Pansage.
"C'mon Akina, don't buy any of that junk! It's overpriced and just a waste of money! Not to mention it stinks!" Chili snapped.
Akina glowered at him in annoyance, as did Cress.
"Go away, Chili." Akina grumbled.
"Excuse me, young man!" a new voice said.
Everyone turned to see another girl, this one slightly older, and she was wearing an elegant blue kimono. She was scowling at Chili.
"Miss Erika!" Bell exclaimed.
"Young man, are you accusing me of overcharging my customers for inferior perfume?" Erika demanded.
"Uhh, no, I didn't mean it personally! I was referring to all perfumes as rip-offs. All they do is turn guys like my brother into dazed weirdoes, like this!"
Chili shoved Cilan in front of him, and the second eldest brother had a dreamy expression on his face.
"This place is positively radiating with delicious smells that blend together in perfect floral harmony!" he exclaimed.
Erika merely smiled gently at him, before turning a glare to Chili. She moved towards him as she said in a calm, yet firm, tone,
"P for pretty, E for elegant, R for radiant, F for fun, U for unfailing, M for mysterious, and E for energy, and that spells,"
"Perfume!" Akina finished with an annoyed glare at Chili, who'd been backed towards the door by Erika.
"That's right!" Cilan added, equally annoyed.
"Sage!"
"Victini!"
Pansage and Victini jumped to their trainer's shoulders as they cried in agreement.
Chili blinked, before glaring at them.
"Yeah, well I don't need that smelly junk to give me energy! I'm full of more energy than I know what to do with!"
"So why don't you use some of it to keep your mouth shut…" Cress muttered as he massaged his forehead, his annoyance at his youngest brother giving him a slight migraine.
"If you're against our products that much, perhaps you should leave! Since we all sell perfume here, you must find us offensive!" Erika snapped.
Bell and Sally stalked over to him.
"You should be ashamed of yourself!" Bell growled.
"You insensitive little brat!" Sally added.
"What'd I say?" Chili squeaked as he held up his hands in defense.
Before he knew, he found himself quite literally kicked out of the shop by Sally.
"Get out, and don't come back!" she yelled as he landed face first on the ground.
She slammed the door shut, and Chili scrambled to his feet and glared.
"Why would I wanna come back? I'm a boy, and your shop stinks as much as your perfume!" he shouted, before turning away.
"Forget it, let's find the gym, c'mon Pansear!" he grumbled.
He waited for his favorite Pokémon to answer, but heard nothing. He glanced around, and didn't see Pansear anywhere. He glanced into the shop, and let out a furious cry, pressing against the glass, as he spotted the fire monkey sitting on the counter with its two counterparts and Victini, happily allowing Bell to pet it.
"PANSEAR, YOU LITTLE TRAITOR!" he shouted furiously.
Pansear and everyone else in the shop glanced at him, noting the angry vain throbbing in his forehead. Pansear waved with an innocent smile, before turning its attention back to the shop inhibitors.
Chili ground his teeth together, before storming away from the shop.
"Fine, who needs ya! I'll find the gym on my own!"
:::::::::::::::::::
He'd finally found the gym after twenty minutes, but large group of girls prevented him from going in.
"Why won't you let me in? I just wanted to see what the gym is like and maybe battle the leader!" he demanded.
The girl in charge, who had blue hair and brown eyes, glared at him.
"I wouldn't let you in if you got down on your knees and begged with your last breath!" she retorted.
"Why not?"
"This gym doesn't allow people who think perfume is a stinky rip-off."
"Wha?"
Another girl with brown curls giggled as she came up beside the other girl.
"We make that stinky perfume right here in this gym!"
Chili froze, gulping slightly as he felt sweat bead up on his forehead.
"Oh…whoops…"
"So you see," the blue haired girl said, pulling out something in her pocket.
Before he could contemplate what it was, she slammed it into his face, and he fell backwards, his face now sporting a large red X.
"You're the stinker!"
The doors slid closed, and locked as Chili got back up and pressed against the glass panels.
"Hey come on, we're both in the gym business, right?" he whined.
She came back, and he gave a hopeful smile, but it quickly fell when she gave him a raspberry. She turned away with a laugh, and walked off as Chili pounded on glass.
"Hey come on, let me in! This isn't fair!" he whined.
After a few more minutes of futile shouting, and yes, even begging, he gave up, and slumped back towards town to find the nearest donut shop.

I rewatched "A Pokemon Scent-Sation" (brought back so many memories!) and the whole time, I could picture Chili acting like Ash the whole time! Anyway, hope you like it so far! R&R!
