{{Ash}}, [[Misty]] and [[Brock]] have finally made it to [[Celadon City]]. Immediately, the scent of perfume fills the air. It leads them to a perfume shop, where Misty and {{AP|Pikachu}} smell their products and Brock falls for the women inside. Ash, eager to earn his next badge, complains that the perfume smells terrible and that it's very expensive. Immediately he is kicked out of the store, and heads to the [[Celadon Gym|Gym]]. However, when he gets there, he learns that the same people who work at the perfume shop also work at the gym, and it is also where the perfume is manufactured. As a result, he is not even allowed entry into the gym.
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr|his friends}} have reached [[Celadon City]], renowned for the skyscrapers filling the city. Everyone but Ash notice a smell in the air as [[Brock]] runs off. Ash finds him with his face against a store window, noticing several girls inside. Ash thinks Brock is wasting time and proceeds to leave, but [[Misty]] and {{AP|Pikachu}} are not around. Brock points inside as Ash looks. Misty and Pikachu are inside the perfume store admiring the variety of aromas. Misty asks about how much it will cost, but Ash steps inside and urges her not to waste her money. The [[Erika|female manager]] confronts Ash about his negative claim, but Ash pushes it further by saying all perfumes are a waste and turn guys into zombies, pointing to Brock. Everyone in the store is against Ash about his remark, even his own friends, as they kick him out. Ash storms away and heads to the [[Celadon Gym]], but when he tries to enter, none of the trainers are willing to let him in. They know about his perfume distaste since the perfume originates from the [[gym]]. The lead trainer plants a red cross stamp on Ash’s face before kicking him out and closing the doors.  


Meanwhile, [[Team Rocket]] attempts to break into the gym and steal their [[Pokémon]]. Unfortunately for them, their plans fall through when they encounter a {{TP|Erika|Gloom}}. All pass out because of the [[Pokémon]]'s terrible scent, and when the gym employees find them, they hang them up on trees outside the gym. Ash stumbles across them, and agrees to a plan they come up with so he can get into the gym. With the help of Team Rocket, Ash becomes [[Ashley]] after a makeover. Using a rouse of Ashley enrolling in a program at the gym, the young {{pkmn|trainer}} is allowed access, while Team Rocket follows through on their plan to steal the perfume without anyone realizing it.
Meanwhile, [[Team Rocket]] sets up a latter to sneak into the gym and steal the perfume formula. They explore the interior forest as [[Jessie]] runs into a {{TP|Erika|Gloom}}. [[James]] waves at Gloom’s face, waking it up. James sends out his {{TP|James|Koffing}} to launch {{m|Poison Gas}}, but Gloom is unaffected by the attack, breathing it as if it were fresh air. Gloom launches its stench, the putrid smell instantly knocking out Team Rocket. {{MTR}} is unaffected since he does not have a nose, but the trainers knock Meowth out with a hammer before planting red cross marks on all three of them, taking them outside and suspending them from a tree branch.  


Still disguised as Ashley, Ash finds his way into the main gym area, where he sees Misty, Brock and Pikachu being read to by [[Erika]]. When Ash realizes that Erika is also the manager of the perfume shop, he puts his head down and begins acting quietly. But when Misty begins to question if she knows Ash, he begins to get nervous. Then Pikachu runs up to him to give him a hug. Ash tells him to knock it off. Angered, Pikachu {{m|ThunderShock|shocks}} Ash, causing his disguise to fall apart. When Erika realizes who he is, Ash explains the only reason he disguised himself was to get into the gym, and promptly challenges her to a battle.
Ash runs into Team Rocket tied up in the tree. James asks Ash to free them, but Jessie refuses at first. She then decides to taunt Ash for not getting into the gym. Jessie offers to help Ash get inside the gym if he releases them. Though reluctant at first, Ash does not want to pass up the opportunity to get the [[badge]]. They go to the department store and Team Rocket dresses Ash up in a dress and a blonde wig. Ash speaks about wanting to get back at the trainers, but Team Rocket subtly point out that Ash needs to change his voice. Ash coughs and speaks again in a high-pitched voice, setting up his disguise.


In the meantime, Team Rocket has finally reached a safe they believe holds the perfume. After opening it, they find a bottle and grab it. They then begin to make their way out of the gym, their prize in their hands.
Jessie and James dress up as Ash’s parents and go to the gym to enroll Ash in the {{g| training}} classes under the name [[Ashley]]. Ash notices that the girl registering him into the class was the same one he saw at the store, but the disguise holds and he is successfully admitted. Team Rocket runs off to find the secret perfume formula while Ash unintentionally divers the trainers. Meowth, hiding under James’s disguise, pulls out a blaster ball, asking what to do with it, and Jessie orders Meowth to plant it.  


Back at the battlefield, Erika accepts Ash's challenge, saying she's required to under Pokémon League regulations. She explains that the battle will be three-on-three, to which Ash explains he will use his own {{type2|Grass}} Pokémon, and sends out {{AP|Bulbasaur}}. Erika then sends out {{p|Tangela}}, which Ash scans with his [[PokéDex]]. Not satisfied with its information, Ash tells Bulbasaur to use {{m|Vine Whip}}. Erika commands Tangela to use {{m|Constrict}}, followed by {{m|Stun Spore}}. Now paralyzed, Ash recalls Bulbasaur. Erika, felling sorry, offers Ash some [[Status ailment healing item#Parlyz Heal|Parlyz Heal]], which he objects to.
The gym trainers work out with their {{t|Grass}} Pokémon while Erika finishes telling a story to the group. Ash enters the room and finds Misty and Brock in the group. Ash finds out that Erika is not only the gym leader, but she is also the store manager that kicked him out. Brock steps forward to introduce the seemingly shy Ashley as Ash notices Pikachu in the group as well. Misty asks Erika why Gloom does not emit its horrible smell. Erika points out that as long as Gloom feels safe, it will not smell. Erika recounts on how she first met Gloom when she was a child and ran into a wild {{p|Grimer}}. Gloom came by and used its stench to send Grimer scurrying. As Erika finishes the story, Misty wishes that Ash could have heard the story. Ash responds in his normal voice, raising suspicion as Misty takes a closer look at Ash. Pikachu gets closer and easily makes Ash, hugging his leg before {{m2|ThunderShock|shocking}} him, breaking the disguise. Ash drops the façade and challenges Erika to a {{pkmn|battle}}. Meanwhile, Team Rocket breaks into the safe holding the perfume.


He then says he'll use {{AP|Primeape}}, but recalling how it behaved after he caught it, he decides against it, and sends out {{AP|Charmander}}. Confident in her abilities to defeat even a {{type2|Fire}}, Erika sends out {{p|Weepinbell}}, and tells it to use {{m|Razor Leaf}}. Thinking fast, Ash has Charmander use {{m|Flamethrower}}, followed by {{m|Skull Bash}}, which knock out Weepinbell. Erika congratulates Ash on his victory so far, but says that because he doesn't have empathy with his Pokémon, he will never win. She then proceeds to send out Gloom, and immediately it uses its foul odor to knock out Charmander. At a standstill, Ash is shocked when Pikachu comes up and immediately offers to battle Gloom. Ash is so happy that his friend is willing to battle, but before it can begin, Team Rocket appears and reveals the real reason they wanted to get into the gym; to steal the perfume. As their bomb goes off, Team Rocket blasts off, and the gym begins burning.
Erika accepts the challenge and sets up a three-on-three battle. Ash sends out {{AP|Bulbasaur}} while Erika sends out {{p|Tangela}}, which prompts Ash to check his [[Pokédex]]. Bulbasaur attacks with {{m|Vine Whip}}, but Tangela uses {{m|Constrict}} to pull Bulbasaur closer before following up with {{m|Stun Spore}}, {{status|Paralysis|paralyzing}} Bulbasaur. Ash recalls Bulbasaur and Erika offers to treat it with {{DL|Status ailment healing item|Paralyz Heal}}, but he refuses and considers using {{AP|Primeape}}, but knowing how unruly the [[Pokémon]] is, he changes his mind and sends out {{AP|Charmander}}. Erika sends out {{p|Weepinbell}} and opens with a {{m|Razor Leaf}} attack. Charmander uses {{m|Flamethrower}} to stop the attack and send it back as fireballs. Charmander uses {{m|Skull Bash}} to [[unable to battle|knock out]] Wepinbell. Erika points out Ash’s lack of empathy towards his Pokémon as she sends out Gloom. It releases its stench and instantly knocks out Charmander. Ash tries to decide between his other Pokémon on who should go, but Pikachu steps forward and offers to battle. Ash is not optimistic, but Pikachu is confident that it will win.  


Immediately, the gym is evacuated, and Ash, Misty and Brock use their Pokémon to help fight the fire. Suddenly, Erika appears, saying she can't find Gloom. Realizing its probably still inside, Ash immediately runs back in to save it. When he finds Gloom, it emits its foul odor, but Ash realizes he must save it. He holds his breath and walks up to it. When he takes in air again, he realizes there's no smell. He then remembers Erika saying Gloom won't use its smell if it trusts someone. He carries Gloom out, and Erika is very grateful.
Team Rocket interrupts the battle and jumps down to the battlefield. Meowth detonates the blaster bomb, which is still on Meowth, sending them blasting off, but they manage to escape with the perfume. The bomb starts a massive fire as the trainers quickly recall their Pokémon. Everyone gets outside as the fire grows out of control and threatens to destroy the gym. Everyone tries to put the fire out, but the attempts are not very effective.  Ash feels guilty that he allowed Team Rocket inside, but Misty snaps him out of it. He sends {{AP|Squirtle}} while Misty sends out {{TP|Misty|Staryu}} and {{TP|Misty|Starmie}} to fire {{m|Water Gun}} at the fire. Brock sends {{TP|Brock|Geodude}} to drop dirt on the flames. As they begin to get a hold on the fire, Erika runs around frantic because she cannot find Gloom. She thinks Gloom is still inside and attempts to run in, but Misty stops her. Ash runs in instead. He finds Gloom scared, but as he approaches, Gloom releases its smell. The ceiling begins to cave in around Gloom. Ash takes a chance and holds his breath as he rushes into the room. He gets up to Gloom, but can no longer hold his breath as he takes a breath, but he finds no smell because he remembers the story that Gloom will not stink if it feels safe.  


The next day, she gives Ash the [[Badge#Rainbow Badge|Rainbow Badge]]. He asks what it's for, and Erika says that he earned it, even though the battle was not completed. Although Ash is happy, he is still concerned about the perfume being stolen. Erika smiles and says not to worry, because Team Rocket only stole one ingredient; essence of Gloom.
Ash runs out of the burning gym with Gloom in hand as everyone congratulates Ash for his bravery. The next day, Erika presents the {{Badge|Rainbow}} to Ash because he saved Gloom. Ash points out the lost potion, but Erika points out that the bottle held Gloom's scent. Meanwhile, Team Rocket opens the bottle, the contents knocking them out. Ash now has five badges and they move on to the next town.
 
Now with his fifth badge, Ash and the others proceed to the next town.
