I prefer to believe that the Pokémon are pleading "Please, don't put me back in there! I'll fight for you! I'll do anything!" But their cries fall on deaf ears as all the trainer hears is "Pika pika".

"its not cruel, its their purpose" "We've always done it" "They should be thankful for not being in the wild" "We're giving them food and shelter" "I'd prefer this to living in the wild" "They'll get hurt or die if we don't do this, we're doing this for them"
