"Ultimately, it's still caused by humans themselves." Ash said faintly as he listened.
Only after coming to this world did he discover that some Trainers were indeed very low-ranked. There were many people who lacked perseverance.
Those who could become truly qualified Trainers were truly a minority. It's just that there were too many Trainers in this world, so it seemed unremarkable.
In fact, after encountering them himself, he found that many Trainers truly couldn't persevere to the end.
"That's right! But there's nothing that can be done. Although we've considered using forceful methods to drive them away, because we know what they've been through, the people in town aren't willing to do that." Officer Jenny also looked very helpless, but she had no other choice.
"Have you considered catching them?" Ash listened, then looked at Officer Jenny and asked.
"Yes, we have, but there aren't many powerful Trainers in town. And even if there are, most of them are currently outside."
"If you want to catch them, you'd have to catch them all at once. They're almost always together. If you try to catch one, the others will definitely come out to cause trouble. There's no Trainer in town who can catch all 5 at once."
Officer Jenny shook her head slightly. They had thought of many solutions. But very few of them were feasible. Catching them was naturally the best solution, but it wasn't so easy to implement.
"Even if there are outside Trainers, they'll be like you, troubled by them the moment they arrive. And after hearing about their situation, they also worried that they wouldn't be able to control them if caught, so they all kept their distance."
"Abandoned Pokémon, generally speaking, if some Trainers know about them, they aren't willing to catch them again. Although it's very realistic, it's truly helpless."
The three listened, and unconsciously exchanged glances. They didn't have many solutions either, so after understanding the situation, they left the police station.
"Seriously, why do we always run into things like this? I don't know if it's luck or misfortune!" Walking on the road, Misty was still complaining. After all, encountering so many similar situations had indeed made her a bit numb.
"This is unavoidable. In the world of Trainers, it's actually very common. Those who can truly become excellent Trainers are, after all, very few."
Brock also shook his head helplessly. As a Gym Leader, he had seen too much. There were quite a few who, after being defeated by him, would give up on being a Trainer from then on.
"What are you thinking about, Ash? Why aren't you saying anything?"
"Nothing!" Ash shook his head slightly. He didn't want to express anything about this matter. Misty and Brock exchanged glances and said no more. The group arrived at the Pokémon Center in town.
After entrusting their Pokémon to Nurse Joy's care and arranging accommodation, they then went to the restaurant to eat. During that time, they also saw some Trainers arrive at the Pokémon Center looking a bit disheveled. They also mentioned the Squirtle, and it was clear these Trainers had also been pranked by the Squirtle.
"Those Squirtle really don't spare anyone!" Looking at the Trainers' miserable state, Misty felt a bit grateful that Ash was with them today.
"If this continues, even if the residents of this town sympathize with them, they will eventually lose their patience." Brock was a bit worried. After all, the people in town also needed to live their lives.
"If it affects their lives in this way, once their patience wears thin, they will resort to forceful measures."
"There's nothing we can do!" "This whole situation sounds very troublesome." Misty also shook her head helplessly.
"I'm full. I'll go for a walk. You two take your time eating." The two were chatting, their meal still unfinished, but Ash, who had been focused on eating, had already finished. He put down his utensils, stood up, and said to them.
"Hey Ash, where are you going? Honestly, you've been weird ever since we entered this town. What if you run into the Squirtle Squad outside?" Misty looked on, a bit displeased as Ash left without saying much, but Ash simply left without further words.
"Ash will be fine on his own, no need to worry. By the way, I plan to resupply some items later. What about you?"
"I don't have anything to do either, I'll go with you!" After Ash left, they discussed going to buy supplies. After several days out, their last purchased supplies were almost used up.
Ash went to the front desk. Pikachu and the others had already recovered. Ash retrieved Pikachu and his other Poké Balls, then left the Pokémon Center. The town was quite peaceful. It was clear that if the Squirtle weren't causing trouble, it would be a peaceful town.
Ash came out intending to look for the Squirtle Squad. However, after searching around, even outside the town, he couldn't find any trace of them.
"~It's really hard to find them when you want to!" Ash couldn't help but say as he looked at the empty surroundings.
Pidgeotto!!! In the air, a flying figure descended. It was Pidgeotto, landing in front of Ash.
"How is it, Pidgeotto? Did you find them?" Ash asked Pidgeotto, who had landed.
Pidgeotto chirped softly and shook its head slightly. It hadn't found any traces. It seemed they were well hidden. Ash, seeing this, said no more.
"Alright! You worked hard! Come back and rest first!" After saying that, Ash took out a Poké Ball and recalled Pidgeotto.
"Pikachu!!" Pikachu, on Ash's shoulder, also let out a curious cry at Ash.
"You're asking why I want to find them?"
"Hmm~~~~ I guess I just find them very interesting!" Ash pondered for a moment, then spoke.
Pika~~~~ Pikachu's ears drooped slightly, seemingly not quite understanding Ash's meaning. Ash, seeing this, chuckled and said nothing more.
"Actually, aren't they just like you were at first?" Looking at Pikachu's adorable, clueless expression, Ash couldn't help but reach out and rub its head.
Pikachu also let out a comfortable squeak, and at the same time, scratched its head a bit shyly.
"Never mind, if we can't find them, let's go back for now! They're probably getting anxious." Although he was a bit disappointed not to find them, there was nothing he could do. He turned to leave with Pikachu.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Misty and Brock, who had left the Pokémon Center to buy supplies, were now on their way back to the Pokémon Center.
