put it this way, Damian is the type of kid who is likely to grow up to be a Team Rocket Grunt of the nastier variety.. he's the embodiment of all the wrong reasons someone becomes a trainer in that setting.

even Jesse and James, while being poachers, do not actively abuse their own pokemon too much - though in fairness Jesse and James are the least villainous of Team Rocket really.. despite all the crimes they commit, neither Jesse or James have the malice to be actual Grunts, hence why they spend most of their time stealing pokemon rather than outright attacking them.
