Team Meanies get their introduction in the games when they confront the player's team and steal their mail; they explain that they only became a rescue team for the wealth and power it gives them and that they hope for world domination. Fortunately for the player, just after they leave, {{mdc|Pelipper|1}} delivers some new mail. At this point, the player's team and Team Meanies become rivals. | Team Meanies get their introduction in the games when they confront the player's team and steal their mail; they explain that they only became a rescue team for the wealth and power it gives them and that they hope for world domination.

Team Meanies challenge the player to try to save Metapod first; if they succeed, they will force {{mdc|Caterpie|1}} to join them. The player must later confront them in the [[Sinister Woods]], where they are defeated in battle just before retrieving Metapod. | ||

Following this, Gengar spreads untrue rumors about how the player is the cause of all the natural disasters and must be destroyed to save the world, causing the residents of [[Pokémon Square]] to heavy-heartedly run the player and partner out of town. | ||
As everyone tries to hunt down the player (most of them giving up at [[Mt. Blaze]]), Gengar remains in Pokémon Square, having assigned himself the role of gathering intelligence on the situation. He later learns from a panicked Medicham that the player and partner have met with Ninetales at [[Mt. Freeze]] and returned to Pokémon Square. Gengar tries to protect his rumors by pressing the player and partner for hard evidence, but Pelipper delivers proof in the form of newspapers to the Square, stating that they indeed met Ninetales under [[Team A.C.T.]]'s watch and that the player is not the human from the Ninetales legend, proving Gengar's rumors to be malicious lies.

After {{OBP|Lombre|Red and Blue Rescue Team}} reads this out loud, he, {{OBP|Granbull|Red and Blue Rescue Team}}, and {{OBP|Shiftry|Red and Blue Rescue Team}} angrily chase Team Meanies out of Pokémon Square. | ||
Gengar later arrives at the square following the defeat of {{p|Blastoise}}, {{p|Octillery}}, and {{p|Golem}} in [[Magma Cavern]] and begins mocking all the rescue teams present at the gathering for attempting against such odds. His words spread fear, doubt, and uncertainty before the partner speaks up against this and successfully encourages everyone, stating the team's intent to enter the dungeon and rescue Team A.C.T. Foiled and once more embarrassed in the middle of the square by the player's team, Gengar angrily leaves. | Gengar later arrives at the square following the defeat of {{p|Blastoise}}, {{p|Octillery}}, and {{p|Golem}} in [[Magma Cavern]] and begins mocking all the rescue teams present at the gathering for attempting against such odds.

In the post-game, Medicham appears just to the east of the rescue team base, telling the player about a "funny" story she heard about Lombre apparently drowning out at sea. This allows the player to hear the real story from Lombre himself, ultimately leading them to the [[Stormy Sea]]. | In the post-game, Medicham appears just to the east of the rescue team base, telling the player about a "funny" story she heard about Lombre apparently drowning out at sea.

On both days, they talk amongst themselves about a dungeon they had discovered and kept secret from even Gengar, a wondrous cave where wishes are said to come true; once they notice the player, they panic, deny knowing anything about such a place, and leave. On the third day, Ekans appears at the pond on his own, having explored their secret dungeon only to be knocked out, with Medicham still trapped inside as evidenced by her rescue notice later arriving on the bulletin board. This notice grants the player access to this secret dungeon, [[Wish Cave]], with the player receiving the [[Wish Stone]] from Medicham as a reward. | ||
After clearing Stormy Sea and rescuing Medicham, she and Ekans appear at Pelipper Post Office, again talking amongst themselves; this time, they mention that Gengar won't do anything wicked with them anymore and has generally been acting strange lately, as if he has a lot on his mind. The next day the duo is seen at the central area of Pokémon Square, where they mention that Gengar has begun climbing Mt. Freeze, presumably to reach Ninetales. The following day, Gengar approaches the player as they leave their base, asking them to help him reach the peak of Mt. Freeze, as he can't make it on his own. | After clearing Stormy Sea and rescuing Medicham, she and Ekans appear at Pelipper Post Office, again talking amongst themselves; this time, they mention that Gengar won't do anything wicked with them anymore and has generally been acting strange lately, as if he has a lot on his mind.

The "judge" sends the player into Gengar's heart to answer its questions, and once that is done, it renders its judgment, stating it could not lift Gardevoir's curse. Desperate, Gengar breaks the seal immobilizing him and begs for a chance to say his piece. He admits that he abandoned Gardevoir to save himself, and he was quick to forget about her and the curse, living his life as a human and as a Gengar without a care. However, in the player's dream, he learned that Gardevoir never forgot about him, and even considered him to be an irreplaceable friend despite what he had done to her, showing him how selfish he had been; he even mentions how the player's team had put up with his selfishness and brought him to this point. This makes him realize what he had been lacking all this time: a sense of gratitude. | The "judge" sends the player into Gengar's heart to answer its questions, and once that is done, it renders its judgment, stating it could not lift Gardevoir's curse.

This realization breaks the curse and releases Gardevoir's physical form. Ninetales appears and congratulates Gengar, stating that his newfound sense of gratitude was the true key to breaking the curse. It also mentions that Gardevoir will awaken soon, but with no memory of ever being Gengar's partner; Gengar is simply grateful that she is no longer cursed, stating that this is enough for him. Later, at the rescue team base, Gardevoir expresses her gratitude to the player and Gengar for saving her despite "never meeting before".
