Following Brock’s persistent urging, the group travels to Caesar Street, a town known for its Pokémon beauty salons. Brock specifically requests a visit to Coron, a salon owned by a breeder who has held the top ranking in the Pokémon Breeder Contest for three consecutive years. However, the local business landscape is shifting due to the emergence of Salon Roquet. This newer establishment is generating significant profits by offering outrageous fashions, thereby disrupting the operations of long-standing shop owners in the area. The visit highlights the tension between established reputation and aggressive new market entrants within this specialized community.
