#Teiji is crying because she is still a little bit emotional from her encounter with Cygnus.

Does the elite ranked units eat meat?

What do pokemon that eat meat have to eat if they can't eat meat?

Teiji: It is... complicated.

Pokemon that eat meat usually has alternatives that does not involve real pokemon, it is actually formed from turning berries into meat that only a few specialized pokemon can do.

There are some ways to eat real pokemon meat without killing such as eating the body of pokemon that are already dead, this is technically not murder but it is considered questionable.

This only applies to civilized pokemon though, because of the whole issue of pokemon living together in harmony in towns, some pokemon choose to not use this lifestyle and still live in the wild like when humans were still around, they refuse to use technology and still hunt and kill pokemon for food.

The elite ranked units would not even consider such a thing, none of them would consider murdering another sapient being even if it is for their own survival.

As you can probably tell, it is not that simple.

Some things are simply complex, as paradoxical as that phrase sounds.
