Friede knows better than anyone, after all.

After all, Cap was the one who showed him the beauty of meeting every individual with their own unique quirks, and how amazing that can be, all thanks to his teacher, Lucca.

Captain Pikachu can fly. Holy cow I love Cap so much. He might also have Flying Tera Type.

It's interesting that most of the older characters in the Rising Volt Tacklers wanted to leave behind their jobs because it didn't suit them anymore, but at the same time it doesn't mean that they don't like their areas of expertise or that they want to completely change it. There is a kind of nuance there that I appreciate.

Friede didn't like being cooped up in a lab and probably found his old job stagnant, but he still likes researching mysteries related to Pokemon. He just wants to travel the world while researching instead of sitting at a desk.

Orio joined Friede because she was getting bored with her job, but she still likes mechanics in general. I feel like she probably accepted building and designing the Brage Asagi for free because it was a project she found challenging? Perhaps she couldn't work on projects like that in her old job, and she wishes she could have.

Mollie's situation is interesting too. While it feels like Friede and Orio picked their paths out of personal passion, Mollie's path was set and kind of expected from her because she comes from a family of Pokemon Doctors. She didn't think too hard about her future, so she just followed in her family's footsteps, probably because it was an easy thing to do. She grew to like her job but she didn't like waiting around at Pokemon Centers when there could be Pokemon injured in the wild so she decided to leave her job. We still don't know how she joined Friede and the others, but they probably needed a doctor on board since they are always traveling so they probably wanted her to join them once they met her. Honestly, Mollie's path is compelling imo because it shows that you can grow to like something that you picked kind of as a default choice. Perhaps it didn't start off as pure passion, but she ended up finding it rewarding.
