Perfume!

Right!

Welcome to the Celadon Gym. Nice to meet you. My name is Erika, the Gym Leader.

Hi there, it's a pleasure to see you.

Thank you. [recognizes Ash] Oh my, don't I know you?

[a bit nervous] That's right, I'm Ash.

I recognize you now. Hi Ash! [cut to flashback where Ash rescued her Gloom from the fire] You helped rescue all the Pokémon after the Gym caught fire. I want to thank you again. You did a really wonderful thing!

Aww...

Ash, you really did that? [It does hint that neither Ash nor Erika were proud of making a bad first impression of each other since they don't mention the issues that caused the Celadon Gym to get caught on fire to Goh or Chloe]

A happy couple?! [starts to get mad. Don't you remember what you did wrong in the original series when you acted like that?!] Could it be you want to use Pokémon flower arranging for romance?!

[getting nervous] Uhhh...well, it's just that... [in his mind] Am I doing this for the wrong reasons?!

[getting cheerful again...whew] I think that's wonderful! A trainer would want to see their Pokémon be happy! I insist that you two allow me to help you out!
