[Pokemon] How did the battle rules come in place, and why do criminals follow them? How come criminals don't kill people and steal their pokemon? How come cut is the only thing that can destroy small trees?

I assume the battle rules are on the Pokemon's part, given wild pokemon also follow them. Your Ekans is going to politely wait its turn in battle however much you yell at it to justt spam acid.

As for why they don't just attack people? Pokemon are loyal to their masters, and an angry pokemon is very dangerous. You need to show your worthiness in pokemon battle.

Basically, pokemon are powerful and weird. A lot of the pokemone world revolves around dealing with their inhuman psychology.
