23->It was an unspoken code of honor between, well, ''everyone'' that when it came to conflict between two opposing parties that the Franchise/{{Pokemon}} were the ones meant to resolve them if things ever escalated to violence. Battling was in their blood, and they tended to heal quickly from otherwise devastating injuries. Humans were, comparatively, squishy things that wouldn't survive prolonged Pokémon attacks.
