Summary
It can be a tough living for Pokémon in thePokémonworld , captured by a trainer whom they usually know little about , and that ’s especially unfeigned if they end up in the hand of an evil trainer , like Team Rocket . For Pokémon trapped in such a post , however , there is one recourse left that will allow them to escape : destroy their own Poké Ball .
In the installment ofPokémon Journeysentitled " When A House is Not A Home!",Team Rocket employ their Rocket Prize Master , a twist which gives them haphazardly select Pokémon with which to do battle . One of the Pokémon that ’s suppose to pop out is a Grookey , but the ball is empty , as this Grookey had already been accidentally marshal earlier and was currently wandering free . Grookey has been delight its newfound freedom , and begins to turn close to Goh , who wakes up with Grookey cling to his sleeve .
As Ash and Goh attempt to get wind Grookey ’s root , they soon find themselves confront to face with Team Rocket .
Grookey Released Itself By Destroying Its Poké Ball
Team Rocket do n’t realise that the Grookey is technically theirs until they receive the empty ball , at which item Jessie uses it to come back Grookey , forcibly bringing it with them . Grookey wanders out of Team Rocket ’s secret base later , and eventually runs into Goh , who it is happy to see it . This set off a showdown between Ash and Goh and Team Rocket , who joyously prompt Goh that Grookey is legitimately theirs . Jessie attempts to retrieve Grookey again , but it sidestep the beam and Pikachu knocks the chunk free of her bobby pin , at which compass point Grookey use its stick to smash the ball in two , destroying both the ball and Team Rocket ’s possession of Grookey in one fell swoop .
Goh stop up take hold of Grookey for himself in a unlike Poké Ball , proving thatthe demolition of a Pokémon ’s Poké Ball is effectively the same as releasing it , presumably as some kind of fail - safe for the Pokémon ’s refuge . Balls have been destroyed before in the anime , such as Jessie herself destroying the ball for her Dustox when she released it , but never by a Pokémon . It means that a Pokémon under the control of a trainer it does n’t like does have at least one refuge to escape , and it ’s amazing that this is n’t more of a problem when it comes to capturing extremely powerful Pokémon that are n’t well - adapted to deal out with trainers .
Pokémon Don’t Know That They Can Free Themselves From Trainers
On several occasion , Pokémon under the ownership ofevil trainers ( such as Jessie and James ' Ekans and Koffing)have keep up that they only do evilness because their trainers ask them to . These Pokémon may simply not realize that they have the capacity to free themselves , or it may be that they do worry for their trainers , even in spite of the malign deeds that they do . The opening of a Pokémon destroying its own Poké Ball also add some credence to the estimation that a Pokémon capture is a partnership – both party always have the choice of take the air away , and it ’s a will toPokémon ’s built-in loyalty that this is such a rarified matter .
