I think it's because of his brother, he wants to be better then him and prove that he is a good trainer. His mind tells him to be strong and doesn't understand to show amor for something. Then Ash showed up and he saw how he treats his Pokemon, you can tell he's confused por his and hates it. He doesn't understand that showing amor for your Pokemon it the best thing to do. But at the end, he starts to change.

What do you mean you THINK it's because of his bro? Of course it's because of his bro, it was stated por his brother himself. Everything you said, pumpkinqueen, is comepletely true.
