Yeah as a police he can’t use his abilities, but as a guardian he can. I would think as a guardian he would have been more or less required to follow up on the kidnapping case much earlier.
Thank you for the chapter and I would like you to add, if you can, more chapters with the views of teachers or some important people in the world on the actions of the MC. It would also be interesting to know his reaction to Skellibra's report or Volcanion's blessing on one of his pokemon.
