Many may assume that Nurse Joy is a selfless person given her reputation for helping Pokémon, but upon her debut, it's revealed she's a villain.
Aside from Ash and Pikachu themselves, there are few Pokémon characters more iconic than Nurse Joy as she is always there to take care of sick or injured Pokémon–but there is a secret darkness to her that was revealed upon her anime debut, and Pikachu proves it.
Nurse Joy is a both equally canonically important and hilariously meta within the Pokémon anime’s continuity. In the original video game, Nurse Joy was located within every Pokémon Center in every town and city the player travels to. While there is no in-world explanation for how one character can travel from city to city seemingly instantaneously, the anime has a perfect work-around for that phenomenon.
While it is convenient to have a group of one particular Pokémon type ready at the drop of a hat to power an entire facility, it is also criminally exploitative. It’s not like these Pikachu were specifically on standby to power the facility due to, say, a bad storm or something that could have been foreseen, Nurse Joy didn’t know that Team Rocket was going to knock out the power, yet these Pikachu were ready to power it up anyway.
Rather than contributing to a Pokémon trainer’s mission to be the best there is through fun competition, or even simply run free in the wilderness of their world, these Pikachu are treated like they aren’t even alive–like their only worth is the electricity they can create and harness.
