Following the zebra crossing across the intersection, Adrian quickly arrived at the Perfume Shop.
Even without entering, Adrian could already smell a unique fragrance that was refreshing and invigorating.
Pushing open the door and entering the Perfume Shop, a green-haired, twin-tailed older sister wearing a pink dress immediately greeted him. Her figure was quite impressive and very striking.
"Wow! What a beautiful older sister!"
"I thought the Cerulean Sisters were the pinnacle of mature beauties, but I didn't expect someone to be even more mature than them. Whose girl is this?"
"Brothers, three minutes, I want all her information."
"Mama! Mama!"
...When the green-haired, twin-tailed older sister, Misako, appeared, Adrian's Streamer room instantly exploded, with bullet comments flooding the screen.
And upon seeing the phone in Adrian's hand, Misako became wary and asked, "Sir, what are you filming?"
As a place where beautiful women gathered, the Perfume Shop occasionally encountered unruly gentlemen who would either disparage the perfume or flirt with the staff, so Misako was highly sensitive.
"I'm just documenting my life. I'm a Streamer, and I often share my daily life online..."
Adrian first turned off the bullet comments, then showed his channel information to Misako to avoid any misunderstanding.
After confirming that Adrian was not a peeping tom, Misako's expression returned to normal, and she smiled, "Sir, do you know much about perfume?"
"Not very much. I only know that perfume can relax people, calm them, refresh them, and even heal the soul. It has many uses."
Adrian recalled what Erika had said in the anime and immediately repeated it.
No sooner had he finished speaking than a round of applause rang out.
Adrian turned his head and saw a beautiful woman in a gorgeous kimono gracefully approaching.
Her eyes were full of gentleness as she looked at Adrian, and she bowed, "Sir, I didn't expect you to know so much about perfume. It's clear that you must be a person of elegant taste and extraordinary style."
"Manager!"
Seeing the woman in the kimono appear, Misako quickly bowed in greeting.
Adrian's heart stirred, knowing that the young woman before him was Miss Erika, the adorable one from the Kanto region.
Whether on Blue Star or here, Erika's popularity was very high.
"Miss Erika, I love you!"
"It turns out my wife is here. Everyone, please don't get too excited; you'll scare my wife."
"The scoundrel upstairs is daydreaming again. Everyone, move aside; my urine is yellow; let me pee on him to wake him up!"
"Brothers, guess where my hand is now?"
"Erika in a kimono truly has a unique charm. I love it so much!"
"I don't care about this or that..."
...When Erika appeared, the bullet comments became even crazier, showing her popularity.
In the Kanto region, only Sabrina and Lorelei could probably rival Erika.
Looking at the continuously soaring popularity and online viewers in his Streamer room, Adrian was overjoyed.
He hadn't expected his luck to be so good this time, coincidentally meeting Erika at the Perfume Shop, and in a rare 'kimono' skin no less, which was clearly a different flavor for the old perverts.
"Sir, do you have a preferred perfume? If not, I can introduce some to you."
Erika came to Adrian's side, and a wave of fragrance wafted over. While Adrian felt refreshed, his heart beat slightly faster.
"Then I'll trouble you!"
Adrian readily agreed.
Looking at Adrian, who was being personally served by Miss Erika on the screen, the netizens in the Streamer room were green with envy, their teeth almost grinding to dust.
"Old Fish is too lucky; he actually gets Miss Erika's personal hospitality. I've been there several times, but I haven't even seen Miss Erika."
"Another day of envying Old Fish."
"Adrian, you really deserve to die!!!!"
"Old Fish! Brother Adrian! Teacher Adrian! Please, give an emotional guidance class! I really want to learn!"
"By the way, who called Miss Erika 'wife' just now? Look now; Adrian isn't standing up to stomp on you?"
"Wife! My wife! Wuwuwu!"
...Under Erika's introduction, Adrian's perfume knowledge rapidly improved.
Finally, at Erika's recommendation, Adrian also purchased a basic perfume, which was very fresh and refreshing.
"Brothers, perfume is good, perfume must be bought!"
Holding the perfume and showing it off, Adrian aimed the camera at himself and the gentle and dignified Erika nearby, secretly pressing the shutter.
Watching Adrian, whose mouth was almost crooked with laughter, the netizens in the Streamer room gritted their teeth and cursed...
After buying the perfume, Adrian said goodbye to Erika and went to the Pokémon Center to check in.
Seeing that it was still bright, Adrian bought a bento and hurried to a lake not far from the Pokémon Center.
"Come out, Magikarp!"
Adrian threw out a Poké Ball.
A red light flashed, and a large, robust Magikarp splashed into the water, creating a large spray.
"Wow! What a big Magikarp!"
Many people strolling by the lake were surprised and exclaimed.
But some people scoffed, mocking, "No matter how big a Magikarp is, it's still a Magikarp. What can a Magikarp do? A Magikarp can't do anything; it's just trash."
"Karu~"
Magikarp looked angry and glared at that person.
Adrian quickly stepped forward to comfort it and took out a flying gem, placing it in Magikarp's mouth.
As for retaliating against the mocker, showing off and slapping faces, Adrian had no interest in that.
After all, he wasn't some arrogant protagonist!
Besides, even if they were to fight, Magikarp couldn't possibly be an opponent.
Because the young man who had just mocked him had a Jolteon covered in spikes following him. How could Magikarp fight that?
"Karu~"
Holding the flying gem in its mouth, Magikarp's eyes lit up as it felt the faint energy overflowing from it.
The energy of the energy cube was neutral, or rather, balanced in all attributes, providing comprehensive nourishment, but correspondingly, it was slow to take effect.
In contrast, the flying gem contained only pure flying-type energy. Although it had no nourishing effect on Magikarp's body, it was very effective in improving control over flying-type energy.
"Same old routine, Magikarp, go to the bottom of the water, absorb the gem's energy, and guard the bait. Just don't let your kind come over..."
Adrian gave the instructions, and Magikarp, with a flick of its tail, immediately vanished underwater.
Afterward, Adrian leisurely took out the retractable fishing rod he had just bought and carefully attached the bait.
"I heard the fishing here in this lake is amazing. I hope it doesn't disappoint me."
Looking around the lake, Adrian saw many anglers, clearly also fishing enthusiasts.
Adrian chose a fishing spot and cast his rod; the bait plopped into the water with a "dong," creating ripples.
Then, he sat cross-legged on the grass and unwrapped the bento he had bought.
Just as Adrian was about to pick up his chopsticks, the float suddenly sank.
"A bite so soon? Wonderful!"
Adrian quickly pulled the rod, grinning, "The netizens didn't lie to me this time!"
Before long, a large Krabby, with the upper half of its head and its two claws red and the rest of its body white, was reeled onto the shore.
