In “Pokémon Scent-Sation,” our heroes arrive at the Celadon City Gym where wonderful perfumes are manufactured using Pokémon spores and nectars. The gym leader, Erica, tells a story of her childhood: a Gloom protected her from an attacking, foul-smelling Grimer which led her to be a Grass Pokémon Trainer.
