The Grimer's eyes widened at the angry yelling Gengar. The baby Pokemon didn't know all the words he was saying, but he could certainly sense a threat. He shrunk back, frozen, eyes wide and tearing up a bit.

This left him unaware and completely open for Faye's counterattack. The Grimer gasped in surprise as an apple core hit him in his belly and just... stayed there, suspended in his sticky goop. The child laughed, a more genuine laugh, and lobbed a couple more handfuls of trash at Faye. He continued giggling even when Aura scooped him up and enclosed him in the trash bag. He wriggled around, figuring this was another part of the game.
