nothing like a character who’s suddenly thrust into parenthood and has no idea how to raise a child

“In trying to spare someone’s feelings you might end up hurting them even more”
“if you overthink how to help you could be led to indecisiveness and inaction”
Pokemon Horizons man
These were two points made in the show and I CANNOT begin to express the 20+ years of hardship I could’ve avoided had had I learned lessons like these in my early childhood rather than, like, two months ago
I’m… glad
I’m glad kids are getting messages that really matter and that they’re getting them through the most powerful thing in the world: a good story

We honestly didn’t need Ash’s journey to end with him growing up since we’ve had several characters showing what an adult version of him would be like

I wanted to talk about this scene in the latest episode. I think the adult rvts were putting on a brave face for Liko, Roy and Dot here, to comfort them in a difficult situation. Their home has been heavily damaged, and they're not going to be able to run their business (the rvts) for a while, which is a huge change. It's no wonder that Liko and Roy feel down. However, Friede's speech reminds them of how far they have come as trainers, which was really touching. In addition, Orla, Murdock and Mollie reassuring them that the ship will be repaired was nice to see. In Murdock's case, this proves how much he cares for and wants to support his niece, Dot.
The way that the older rvts reassure the kids shows that they are prepared to go beyond their duties as bodyguards to look out for Liko, Roy and Dot's feelings. From a child's perspective, it conveys the illusion that adults are not afraid of anything and will always be able to protect you. However, we know as an audience that the mature characters have worries and doubts of their own. Due to this, it is arguably likely that they are also feeling deflated after the battle with Rayquaza. I don't think that Liko Roy and Dot are oblivious to the other rvts emotions, but the concept of adults looking out for the youth has been a pattern throughout Horizons so far. We have seen this through instances such as Friede risking his life to save the kids, Ludlow giving words of wisdom and Mollie being the referee during Liko and Roy's first battle.
Knowing all of this, it makes sense that Friede's next suggestion is for Liko, Roy and Dot to train at the Naranja Academy. Not only will this help them learn about terrastralisation, but it will also give them a sense of purpose while the Brave Asagi is being fixed. The adult rvts will always act in the kid's best interests. In other words, I don't think they were as cheerful as they were letting on in this scene.
