Pokémon Horizons: The Series

Pokémon: Horizons is the 26th season of the Pokémon anime. In this season, it focuses on two new trainers: Liko and Roy who are travelling the Pokémon world with the Rising Volt Tacklers while being pursued by a mysterious and evil organization, the Explorers.

The Pendant That Starts it all: Part One

Rotom Phone: Sprigatito has been registered to your Pokédex. [Note: The reason why Liko was given Sprigatito is because everyone is sick of the writers overusing the "Ash gets a Grass starter" tradition (Bulbasaur, Bayleef, Sceptile, Torterra, Snivy and Rowlet) along with two other male main protagonists, Clemont and Goh, getting the current generation Grass starters: Chespin and Grookey respectively; it also led to a lot of accusations of sexism because not a single main female protagonist caught a current generation Grass starter up until that point.]

The Pendant That Starts it all: Part Two

For Sure! Cause Sprigatito's with me!

Alex: That you, Liko?

Liko: Uhh...I'm home, Dad.

Nemona and Brassius and...

[Note: Many fans claim that Liko and Roy should compete in the Paldea League as to continue the tradition of region League quests. However, this series is an improved world travelling premise and the Paldea League story would have been too disorganized since the three storylines can be played in any order (Victory Road, Path of Legends and Starfall Street) as well as the region is non-linear. However, there will be gym battles later, just not in the way fans expected...]

Brassius: Alex's daughter visiting me at my home. This is truly avant-garde! [presents his Cherubi mug to Liko]

Liko: Uhh...thank you.

Roy: I have no idea what any of this is. I just wanted to help.

Fuecoco: Waaah! [Yeah!]

Iono: And what about you, Hidey McHiderson? Introduce yourself to the world!

Liko: I'm er...Sprigatito Love!

Sprigatito: Mew! [That's right!]

Iono: Anyone who loves Sprigatito that much must be full of warm fuzzies! Buddy pals give the best vibes, don't they?

Dot: You mean, you knew?

Liko: Yeah, of course. You're a huge Nidothing fan, aren't you? [You still don't get it, Liko]

Dot: No, that's not it! [Liko, Sprigatito and Quaxly all freak out.]

Liko: Um...then.

Dot: [getting frustrated] How can anyone be so clueless?! I am...

Sprigatito and Quaxly: [both mewing] [Just say it!]

Dot: I am the real Nidothing, Liko!

Liko: Huh? Oh... [Liko freaks out about this revelation]

The Plan to Capture Rayquaza

From So Far Away

Liko: [in her mind] I said I was going to get Terapagos to Laqua! Which means, I also got to keep pushing forward! Farther! Stronger! [to Sprigatito] With you!

Sprigatito: Mew! [Right back at you!]

Liko: We have to help Terapagos. What do you say? You ready to keep fighting?

Sprigatito: Meow! [I got your back!]

Liko: Let's go, Sprigatito! Use Magical Leaf!

[As Sprigatito dashes forward and jumps into the air, she begins to glow!]

Liko: Sprigatito...[Seconds later, Sprigatito is now Floragato. Sprigatito's evolution was done in response to the universally hated and overused concept of not letting main protagonist owned Grass-starters fully evolve (Bulbasaur, Bayleef, Snivy, Chespin, Rowlet and Grookey).]

Liko: Sprigatito just...

Roy: Yeah, it evolved!

Dot: It's a Floragato.

Friede: Amazing.

Hatenna and the Otherworldly

The Treasure of Eternity

Showdown! The Paldea Elite Four

Coral: Now, Glalie, Self-Destruct!

Glalie: Glalie! [Self-Destruct!] [proceeds to knock out not just Glalie, but Wugtrio, Flamigo and Oricorio (Pom-Pom Style)]

Kofu: Oh, Vaultin' Veluza, what did you--?!

Coral: How do you like that? [the crowd groans in an appalling tone. You really had to beg for trouble, Coral]

Dendra: Uh, uh...None of the Pokémon can carry on! Battle's over! And the winner is Larry!

Coral: But it was Glalie who blew them all away!

Dendra: Should all Pokémon faint due to Self-Destruct, the one who used Self-Destruct loses the battle.

Coral: A win's a win. Who cares what you use?

Larry: Here in the real world, your head-canon rules won't be accepted. [You clearly were not listening to Dendra, Coral. Using Self-Destruct is an automatic loss, not an automatic win]

Kofu: That's how it goes, Ms. Cornbread. At least you went out with a bang!

Coral: [embarassed] This is ridiculous! I'm totally out of here. [recalls her Glalie while running out of the field in shame]

Liko vs. Rika! Towards the Battle's End

Rika: Look at you. Your shoulders feel like rocks! You are in no shape to battle, kiddo. I mean don't get me wrong, I get why you might be intimidated. You're up against a real beauty here.

Katy: [blushing] If you do say so, yourself. [Uhhh...Katy, Rika was not talking to you.]

Grusha: Huh. I've never realized that move could be used like that.

Geeta: It's rather unusual for you to show even a minor interest in anyone, Grusha.

Grusha: Is it?

The Terapagos I Don't Know

Food Fit for a Kingambit!

Dance, Quaxly! The Blue Medali Step!

Larry: Miss Dot, I presume, here to take your usage test? I'm Larry, the Medali Gym Leader. I believe we saw each other during the aptitude matches.

[Liko, Roy, and Dot think back to Larry's showdown against Coral and Kofu]

Roy: WAIT! Larry is Larry of the Elite Four?! You have to take your test with one of them?! [How Larry manages between Gym Leader, Elite Four and businessman is beyond us]

Dot: You just now put that together?

Roy: Uhhh...yeah.

Larry: That sounds about right. Other people often tell me that I lack presence. I take it as a point of pride that I don't stand out especially at work. Anyway, my boss'll dock my pay if I spend too much time chitchatting.
