It's important to note that Mollie also says this earlier in the episode, when she's waiting for Liko to come back. It seems to be her motto of sorts.

This line is what Mollie says when she is asked why she left the Pokemon Center establishment. And this doesn't just relate to the actual occupation of being a Nurse Joy, but the fact that the Nurse Joy path was something that had been chosen for her. She didn't carve out this opportunity herself, she didn't attempt to step out of her lineage and find what *she* wanted to do even though she knew she wasn't happy as a Nurse. For years, she just "sat there and wait" in her predetermined future, and she realized that this isn't how she wanted to live her life.

Sitting and waiting parallels Liko's state of mind at the very beginning of the series as well, but by making the decision to attend the boarding school and eventually join the Rising Volteccers she resolves to not do that. Liko's goal for her journey is to not be passive anymore and to be able to stand up for others and herself. Mollie saw a little bit of herself in that early version of Liko, so she tries to guide Liko to *not* "sit and wait", at every opportunity she can. This is such a HUGE theme of this show, and it's reinforced through every single opportunity, like Liko and her parallels to Mollie. Which is such a Pokemon thing to do, and done in a way that is just plain good writing.

for me at least, theres always been a really stark divide in the 'child character is the main antagonist' sort of stories.

on one hand. theres stories that rely on the shock factor of a child being evil, because we're supposed to believe that kids arent capable of that sort of thing. i guess its supposed to be frightening but the novelty always wears off really quickly for me.

i think 'a child is the villain' always lands most successfully for me when a kid is given power beyond their years (either by adults around them or otherwise supernatural/societal forces) and then everyone is floored when they arent exactly responsible with that power. and sometimes theyre even selfish! not because that kid is evil, but because theyre a kid.. acting like a kid would in their situation.

it means that any sort of story that follows requires a protagonist to reason with someone who may not even understand the harm theyre doing, or worse - not have the life lived to understand why they should care in the first place. and also, i think watching what happens when u have an destructive force seeking comforts that any child deserves doing whatever they can to have those things is (to me) much more interesting than 'child who is fucked up and evil for no reason but being born that way actually'
