Angel of Fragrance

[Simulation begins]

Against a pixel-art backdrop, an old mansion set in a beautiful garden slowly came into Baimu's view.

In the garden...

Pokémon wandered everywhere. Most were Grass-, Bug-, or Normal-type Pokémon, the sort commonly found in the wild.

The view shifted to the mansion's entrance.

A young woman in a pink blouse and white skirt stepped out, accompanied by a Roselia that barely reached her knees.

"Who is she...?"

Baimu paused. He really couldn't place which NPC from the games her appearance was based on, so for now, he settled on calling her a young woman.

Narration appeared.

[At eighteen, you decided to take your friend's advice and travel to see more Pokémon, hoping to test and improve the results of your research.]

Research... results?

Baimu stared at the pixel character in surprise. She wasn't dressed like a researcher. Her occupation was a complete mystery.

Before he could puzzle over it for long, the narration gave him an answer.

The pixel character approached a Zigzagoon that was staggering about with a blue bad-mood icon above its head. She took out a strange little bottle and waved it beneath its nose.

Soon, Zigzagoon perked up and raced happily around her.

[Seeing Zigzagoon restored to health, you smiled. It was these adorable Pokémon that had kept you working so hard to develop all kinds of Fragrance Essence over the years.]

Fragrance Essence!

It dawned on Baimu. He finally knew who she was—the Scent Sister!

Trainers of this class often used Grass-type Pokémon in the games and were always surrounded by little lights that represented fragrance.

Huh. It's a wonder I even remembered what she was called.

After that private jab at himself, he wondered what might lead a Scent Sister devoted to developing Fragrance Essence
