“Yep, it has happened to me a couple of times so far. It is probably their main way to find possible trainers, maybe they decide that it is a better way to find them than just fighting other Pokémon often,” Harry can agree with that, several of his Pokémon have taken this route very much often than merely jumping into battle.

“They must probably realise that fighting until they got weakened would waste any energy they might have.”

Iron Fluff nods in agreement, they didn’t want to hurt Harry at all when they first found him trying to get used to seeing so many towers in future!Celadon City. Plus they thought that he needs more friends too hence why they have been tagging along with him throughout this 4th Wall adventure.
