I know
Maybe someday. But like someone said a few days back, the protagonists pretty much always have a hat for some stranger reason, whether it be May's bandana, Dawn's beanie, or Lucas' beret.

The anime has some stupid logic.
"I'll take you somewhere that can heal your Pikachu, but you have to keep it secret."
*5 minutes later*
"Sure ill show and tell you the specifics what healed your Pikachu." When she could have just said no.
Heck if Ash and co. didn't stick there noses where they do, Team Rocket wouldn't follow them and f up everything. Technically everything is Ash and co.'s fault.
This episode in particular, if they hadn't asked how the lake healed electric pokemon, Team Rocket wouldnt have found out the details on the secret, Zapdos wouldnt have been hurt trying to get the crystal back, the other electric pokemon wouldnt have been left half injured, and all the pokemon wouldnt have to recharge the crystal to make it work again.
Again, had they just left after thanking the lady for helping Pikachu, none of this would have happened.
