>Pokemon never had slavery you retard

>When Team Flare began the operation to retrieve the dormant tree form of Xerneas, Celosia used her Aegislash to mind control the Vaniville townspeople in order to use them for slave labor. The townspeople were taken to Route 8, where they were made to load Xerneas's tree form into a vehicle so that it can be moved to Team Flare's base.

So actually, they can. And people have used pokemon as tools to enslave others. Given this fact. I would find it only logical that slavery has indeed happened in the past.
