I doubt a mission to cut vines and roots would last that long. Also take into fact that Ash's Pokemon were never released officially from their balls (see how Paul released his Pokemon).
Obviously, he is not doing if Officially, since that prevents other trainers from catching them, but they are still in the wild, meaning released.
