[Outside Hugh's House]

Hmm...

Does the door to Hugh's home seems... exactly the same size as Hugh should remember it. Which, if she thinks about that too much, may stand out as an unusual observation.

"Then how come you aren't registered as a no-catch?" the kid asks as he looks down at his old-school style pokedex. "You're not allowed to catch no-catch pokemon because they paid the registration fee, then they're registered as a no-catch pokemon and pokeballs don't work on them."

Huh.

Well.

Apparently bureaucracy is good for something after all.

...though that also means that pokemon who are not registered risk getting kidnapped by precocious children. Like, say, sapient pokemon who randomly find themselves dumped into the Nexus. Or non-pokemon who are suddenly pokemon, which is a pretty serious malady.
