"Meowrr!"
At dawn, a scream like a cat being murdered rang out from the seaside cottage.
Baimu watched helplessly as Shiny Gengar grabbed Alolan Meowth by a hind leg and tried to pull it away like a radish. Its front claws remained hooked firmly into the sofa. "I really did find you a good home. I'm not lying!"
