alternate title for this episode: Old Man Brutally Insults 10-Year-Old And Beats Up His Dog For 15 Minutes

Nanu be giving Ash the third degree we’ve all been wanting for years

He’s not even playing hardball here really, just spouting some (likely intentionally) stock “bad person” lines about friendship holding you back and such. A fitting test for a dark-type specialist to give young trainers: “Can you handle a bit of hardship and negativity, or will you let your anger and insecurity get the best of you and potentially get yourself and your Pokemon hurt?”
