And they do generally find themselves on the other side of the -tagonist coin when situations turn dire -- in several of the movies, at the very least, particularly the second one ("The Power of One", which would have been titled "Hocking a Lugia" if it was just an episode title). Plus, even given her typical proclamations of villainy, I'm surprised Brock hasn't even made an offer to tap Jessie. Oh well, at least Brock's new chaperon, a Crogunk who basically latched onto him several episodes in, keeps him honest.
