It was pretty obvious that the chain of events was
>Pokemon fighting
>Charizard does a Big Flashy Fire Attack at night to create a spectacle
>people look at the spectacle because ooh, fire
>Charizard lands
>Nidoran deployed
>Nidoran tells his parents "ugh, gawd, mom, I'm RESPONSIBLE! Let me go on an adventure with my cool friend! We kicked an Arbok's tail."
>parents agree
>having no further reason to fuck people up, they leave
And before you idiots go "wooooaaaaah, why would they just UP AND LEAVE their child??????" remember this is a setting where humans can leave home at 10 years old to risk their lives traveling the world.
>b-b-but my Charizarderino!!!
