Gengar loved him and didn't think anything of being asked to wait for his trainer, so it stayed for a very long time. It began playing pranks on the people who purchased and set up a lab in the building it was asked to wait outside. Ash was helping out the reserchers there and offered to help Gengar find its owner.
