(Japanese: '''ナヴィ''' ''Navi'') is a major supporting character in {{aniseries|HZ}}, introduced in the ''[[Wonder Voyage]]'' arc. 

==In the animation==
===History===

==== ''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]'' ====
Early on in her life, Navi was orphaned through unknown means and ended up being forced to live alone on the streets. At some point after [[Ult]] and [[Roy]] departed from [[Lumiose City]] in, [[Emma]] found her and took her in, where she became her assistant at the [[Looker Bureau]]. Emma also taught Navi certain necessities, such as reading, writing, and how to study, as well as gifting her an empty [[Dream Ball]]. Navi grew to idolize Emma, aspiring to one day use the Dream Ball to catch her future partner.

Navi debuted in [[HZ142]]. She was first seen looking around for Pokémon on the Looker Bureau's roof, where she spotted the [[Brave Olivine]] until she was asked by Emma to run an errand for her. Later, Navi met Ult, Roy, [[Liko]], and [[Dot]], as she and Emma teamed up with them to find a lost {{p|Carbink}}. Navi joined Roy and Ult in finding Carbink, even suggesting to look for it from the air. Ult realized that Navi wanted to go on the Brave Olivine, which she said yes and the group were okay with it. After getting on the Brave Olivine, Navi met the rest of the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]], minus [[Friede]] and [[Ludlow]], and befriended a wild {{p|Ditto}} that lived on the ship. However, Navi dropped her Dream Ball when she ran into [[Murdock]]. They found Carbink with [[Ivor]] with Roy battling him and winning. After Ivor gave Carbink to the group, they brought the Jewel Pokémon back to {{OBP|Old lady|HZ142|its Trainer}}. Navi then found out that she lost her Dream Ball and wanted to find it.

===Character===
Navi is a girl who loves Pokémon and has very strong compassion for them. She also gets very excited to meet any Pokémon she comes into contact with, especially ones she has never seen before. Navi has an adventurous spirit and is never afraid to face the world head on. She has a very curious mind, and is always eager to help those in need. Similar to her mentor [[Emma]], she also can be quite clumsy and absent minded, and also tends to refer to herself in third-person, although she does not restrict herself to it. In addition, Navi hates being left out, becoming upset when Emma refused to let her drink coffee on account of being too young, but quickly cheered up when she made some coffee flavored milk to drink instead, and chasing after [[Ult]] and [[Roy]] when they tried to leave her to track down [[Ivor]].

As Emma's assistant, Navi is good at making coffee for any guests or client that comes to the [[Looker Bureau]]. Although she is more comfortable around Pokémon, she is usually very generous, kind and welcoming with other people, but can also possess a sassy streak, especially when it comes to Ult, who she clashes with frequently. She greatly admires and respects Emma, and aspires to use the Dream Ball that Emma gifted to her to catch her future partner as a token of gratitude.

List of Goh's Pokémon

2026-07-15T20:07:18Z

Franky7: /* Trivia */

[[File:Goh Pokémon.png|thumb|250px|Some of Goh's Pokémon]]
The following is a '''list of Pokémon currently owned by [[Goh]]'''. As his goal is to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} every {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that he meets on his way to catch {{an|Mew}}, Goh owns a multitude of Pokémon species, most of which he usually keeps at the [[Cerise Laboratory]]. The [[Galar first partner Pokémon]] are the only ones that he permanently keeps in his [[party]].

In ''[[JN136|This Could be the Start of Something Big!]]'', Goh left all of his Pokémon, aside from his Galar first partner Pokémon, under [[Professor Cerise]]'s care before departing from the Cerise Laboratory, though he still continues to catch new Pokémon.

'''Goh's Venomoth''' (Japanese: '''ゴウのモルフォン''' ''Go's Morphon'') is the third {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that [[Goh]] {{pkmn2|caught}} in the [[Kanto]] [[region]], and his fourth overall.

==History==
==={{aniseries|JN}}===
[[File:Goh Butterfree and Venomoth.png|thumb|left|250px|Venomoth and Butterfree]]
In ''[[JN006|Working My Way Back to Mew!]]'', Goh found {{p|Venomoth}} at [[Vermilion Forest]], and after a brief chase, threw a {{i|Poké Ball}} at it, successfully catching it.

In ''[[JN023|Panic in the Park!]]'', Venomoth joined a group made up of Goh's other {{type|Bug}} Pokémon, which came into conflict with another faction led by [[Goh's Darmanitan]], which was made up of {{t|Normal}} and {{type|Poison}} Pokémon, after the food around [[Cerise Laboratory|Cerise Park]] had been stolen. Venomoth and {{TP|Goh|Butterfree}} combined their {{m|Stun Spore}} attacks, which were blocked by {{TP|Goh|Grimer}}'s {{m|Poison Gas}}. As the battle escalated, {{TP|Goh|Scyther}} took control of the Bug-type group, but the infighting ended when {{TP|Goh|Golurk}} lost control of itself, causing Cerise Park to become flooded. Venomoth joined the rest of the Pokémon in saving Goh's three {{p|Cascoon}}, allowing them to [[Evolution|evolve]] into {{DL|List of Goh's Pokémon|Dustox}} and clear the storm with {{m|Sunny Day}}.

In ''[[JN029|There's a New Kid in Town!]]'', Goh enlisted the help of Venomoth and Butterfree by having them use Stun Spore to locate the invisible crying {{TP|Goh|Sobble}}, as its crying was affecting all the Pokémon in the proximity, and its paralysis caused Sobble to reappear, but it kept crying until {{AP|Dragonite}} hugged the Water Lizard Pokémon to comfort it, which caused Sobble to fall asleep and stop crying.

In ''[[JN136|This Could be the Start of Something Big!]]'', Venomoth attended a surprise party hosted by the Lab members commemorating Goh and {{Ash}}'s departure. After that, Venomoth posed for a group photo with Goh, Ash, and the others.

==Personality and characteristics==
Venomoth is shown as being useful for restraining its targets with its {{m|Stun Spore}} attack, seen when Venomoth helped locate the camouflaged {{TP|Goh|Sobble}} when its crying was affecting everyone around it.

Venomoth is usually seen alongside {{TP|Goh|Butterfree}}, and they often combined their Stun Spore attacks together to cover a wider area whenever Goh deems it necessary. They also perform this combo on their own accord, seen when Venomoth and Butterfree used it during their confrontation with the {{t|Normal}}- and {{type|Poison}} faction in ''[[JN023|Panic in the Park!]]''.

==Moves used==

==Trivia==
* Venomoth is Goh's first:
** Fully evolved Pokémon.
** Dual-type Pokémon.
** {{type|Poison}} Pokémon.
* Venomoth is the first Poison-type Pokémon to be caught by one [[Ash's friends]] since [[Brock's Croagunk]], who was caught in ''[[DP008|Gymbaliar!]]'', 617 episodes earlier.

'''Maria''' (Japanese: '''マリア''' ''Maria'') is a recurring character in {{aniseries|HZ}}. She was also the only known daughter of [[Gibeon]], the mother of [[Amethio]], and the wife of [[Cervantis]].

==History==
[[File:Amethio and Maria.png|150px|left|thumb|Maria and young [[Amethio]] in a boat]]
===Pre-series===
When her son, [[Amethio]], was a child, he and Maria spent a lot of time together, such as by going on a boat trip or playing at a beach. At some point, she died in a car accident, but Amethio was too young to even remember it well.

==={{aniseries|HZ}}===
In ''[[HZ083|The Truth Revealed!]]'', Maria was first shown in a portrait in front of the entrance of [[Amethio's mansion]]. It caught [[Zirc]] and [[Onia]]'s attention, and Amethio explained that she was his mother and that she died in a car accident when he was young, but reassured them not to worry. Some portraits of her alongside [[Cervantis]] and Amethio were seen in the mansion.

In ''[[HZ104|Charcadet's Wish]]'', she appears again in a flashback, asking {{TP|Amethio|Charcadet}} to protect her son, Amethio, soon after both met for the first time.

'''Avignon Town''' (Japanese: '''アブニヨンの町''' ''Avugnon Town'') is an {{pkmn|animated series}}-exclusive location in [[Kalos]]. It is one of the settings of ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]''. It is overlooked by a large castle.

{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} went to Avignon Town, where {{Ash}} lost a battle against [[Astrid]] in front of the castle. Meanwhile, {{an|Diancie}} had come to the town in search of {{OBP|Xerneas|M17}}. She was hunted down in the town's streets by [[Merilyn]] and [[Riot]], who wanted to capture her for her ability of creating diamonds. After Ash's battle, {{AP|Pikachu}} heard the noise of Merilyn and Riot attacking Diancie. Ash and Pikachu rushed to the site and jumped in front of Diancie to protect it from harm. While they distracted Merilyn and Riot, Diancie was able to escape with {{an|Clemont}}, {{an|Bonnie}}, and {{an|Serena}}.

After spending some time with the group, Diancie was kidnapped by {{TRT}} and taken to a clock tower. Like Merilyn and Riot, they wanted to use Diancie to create diamonds for them. Diancie soon created so many diamonds that they flooded the clock tower. Diancie was then freed by [[Millis Steel]]. Diancie was reunited with Ash and his friends, and they promised her to help her on her quest to search for Xerneas. Following this, the group and Diancie left Avignon Town.

==In the manga==

'''Murdock's Lycanroc''' (Japanese: '''マードックのルガルガン''' ''Murdoch's Lugarugan'') is [[Murdock]]'s partner and his first known {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It helps Murdock in finding various people or lost objects for the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]]. It is often seen [[Walking Pokémon|outside]] its {{i|Poké Ball}}.

==In animation==
===History===

[[File:Liko Rockruff.png|thumb|left|250px|Rockruff and [[Liko]]]]
{{p|Lycanroc}} first appeared as a {{p|Rockruff}} in ''[[HZ002|The Pendant That Starts It All (Part Two)]]'', when it greeted [[Liko]] and her {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}} when they arrived onboard the [[Brave Olivine]]. After greeting the {{pkmn|category|Grass Cat Pokémon}}, Rockruff joined in a game with Sprigatito, {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}}, and {{p|Pawmi}}.

In ''[[HZ003|For Sure! 'Cause Sprigatito's with Me!]]'', Rockruff joined in the search for Liko's Sprigatito after it had been taken as a hostage by the [[Explorers]]. By using its great sense of smell, Rockruff spotted [[Onia]] when she was out shopping and alerted the other members of the Rising Volt Tacklers who gave chase. Whilst [[Friede]] distracted [[Amethio]] by battling his {{TP|Amethio|Ceruledge}} with [[Captain Pikachu]], Rockruff helped Liko find and free Sprigatito.
[[File:Chansey and Rockruff.png|thumb|250px|Rockruff and [[Mollie's Chansey]] ready to battle]]
In ''[[HZ005|Found You, Fuecoco!]]'', Murdock used Rockruff to battle the Explorers when they confronted the Rising Volt Tacklers. It battled against [[Zirc]] and his {{p|Rhydon}}. However, despite holding its own, Rockruff couldn't beat Zirc's Rhydon and was carried back to the ship by Murdock.

In ''[[HZ019|The Bittersweet Truth]]'', Rockruff stayed on the airship to get groomed by [[Mollie]] when Murdock, Liko, and [[Roy]] went to [[Motostoke]] to get supplies.
[[File:Terapagos and Murdock Rockruff.png|thumb|250px|left|Rockruff and [[Pagogo|Terapagos]]]]
In ''[[HZ030|Slip and Crash! A Mystery Pokémon?!]]'', Rockruff heard a noise as it got Liko and her Sprigatito attention, but the three didn't know where the noise was coming from. However, after Captain Pikachu and the Pokémon living on the Brave Olivine found out that a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Polteageist}} was behind the purple goo and the noise, Rockruff joined them and [[Pagogo|Terapagos]] in watching a battle between the Black Tea Pokémon and {{p|Shuckle}}. Although the battled was called off, Rockruff joined its friends in welcoming Polteageist to the group with Liko's Sprigatito, Roy's Fuecoco, and [[Dot's Quaxly]] joining them.

In ''[[HZ032|Lapras's Feelings for its Friends]]'', Rockruff and [[Mollie's Chansey]] joined forces to fend off the attacking Pokémon sent by [[Lucius's Lapras]] who were trying to steal their supplies. While intimidated at first, Rockruff and Chansey nevertheless pushed through to defend their airship, with Chansey focusing on {{p|Octillery}} while Rockruff battled {{p|Barbaracle}}.
[[File:Murdock Lycanroc overweight.png|thumb|250px|Lycanroc overweight]]
In ''[[HZ033|Roar of the Black Rayquaza]]'', Rockruff and Terapagos got together to hold a meeting with the other Pokémon inside Brave Olivine. The party continued until the group was interrupted by {{p|Quaxly}} and soon after by [[Dot]], who caught all the mess the Pokémon made in Murdock's kitchen.

In ''[[HZ098|Reunion in Cortondo]]'', Liko, Roy, and Dot arrived in [[Cortondo]] to find Murdock, discovering that Rockruff had [[Evolution|evolved]] into Lycanroc during the one year timeskip. Murdock stated that after working for Katy, he began experimenting recipes, with Rockruff being his taste tester. Eventually, during one of these taste tests, Rockruff inexplicably evolved into Lycanroc. Due to the heavy consumption of sweets, Lycanroc became obese. Lycanroc played with the group and their Pokémon before seeing them off.

In ''[[HZ100|We Are the Rising Volt Tacklers!]]'', Lycanroc appeared alongside Murdock when he returned to the Rising Volt Tacklers. By this point, Lycanroc has slimmed down, making it appear more in-line with its species' general appearance.
{{-}}

===Personality and characteristics===
[[File:Murdock and Lycanroc.png|thumb|250px|left|Lycanroc and Murdock]]
[[File:Murdock Rockruff medical profile.png|thumb|250px|Rockruff's medical profile]]
Lycanroc, while it was a Rockruff, is shown to be a playful Pokémon, as seen in ''[[HZ002|The Pendant That Starts It All (Part Two)]]'' when it played with [[Liko's Sprigatito]] and a few of the other Pokémon seen on the [[Brave Olivine]]. Despite its playful personality, Lycanroc is a serious Pokémon, as seen in ''[[HZ003|For Sure! 'Cause Sprigatito's with Me!]]'', when it joined in the search for Sprigatito. It is very eager and cannot help but restrain itself without command. Rockruff also likes to get groomed, as shown in ''[[HZ019|The Bittersweet Truth]]'', when it stayed on the Brave Olivine to get brushed by [[Mollie]].

Lycanroc has a great relationship with [[Murdock]] as it enjoys hanging out with him. It is also shown to be gluttonous and has a sweet tooth. Due to its heavy consumption of sweets following Murdock's employment with [[Katy]], Lycanroc was larger and more obese than others of its kind, having a chubby face, large stomach and legs. However, prior to ''[[HZ100|We Are the Rising Volt Tacklers!]]'', Lycanroc was able to lose all the weight that it gained from eating all the sweets Murdock made. Lycanroc has become able to help Murdock carry his supplies for the Brave Olivine, as seen in ''[[HZ109|Tinkatuff's Hammer Wasn't Made in a Year!]]''. Although, despite its enjoyment of eating, Lycanroc doesn't like [[Tamato Berry|Tamato Berries]], as shown in [[HZ139]], when Murdock had it eat the berry to help with its weight gain from taste testing his food.

Whenever Murdock was cooking something or someone was snooping around the kitchen, Lycanroc would make sure its Trainer wasn't disturbed and get them to leave, as seen in ''[[HZ004|The Treasure After the Storm!]]'', as well has protecting the food supply, that would usually be sneakly eaten by [[Roy's Fuecoco]]. Like its {{p|Rockruff|spe}}{{p|Lycanroc|cies}}, Lycanroc has a great sense of smell and has use it to help its Trainer and friends find something or someone. Despite being a {{type|Rock}}, Lycanroc isn't bothered by water, as seen in ''[[HZ105|Riding the Waves]]'', when it went surfing with Murdock.

Manager (HZ109)

2026-06-07T15:31:30Z

Franky7:

[[File:Manager HZ109.png|250px|thumb|The manager]]
The '''manager''' is a [[character of the day]] who appeared in ''[[HZ109|Tinkatuff's Hammer Wasn't Made in a Year!]]''. She appears to be an executive linked to [[Exceed]] and by extension to the [[Explorers]], responsible for scheduling and arranging appointments and public appearances for [[Sidian]] and [[Coral]].

==History==
She was first seen in ''[[HZ109|Tinkatuff's Hammer Wasn't Made in a Year!]]'' when [[Sidian]] was approached by a crowd of his fans in front of a Japanese food restaurant; some time later, the manager was seen again removing [[Coral]] from the same conditions when she was seen by another group in a bakery.

With {{p|Vigoroth}}'s help, she took the two [[Explorers]] to a {{tc|Cabbie}}, where she introduced herself and said she was responsible for scheduling their appointments. Upon arriving, she also asked the Cabbie to drive to a location in [[Paldea]]. When Coral refused, she threw them both into a [[Flying Taxi]] and forced the Cabbie to continue on his way.

'''Dot's Quaquaval''' (Japanese: '''ドットのウェルカモ''' ''Dot's Wanival''), or '''Nidothing's Quaquaval''' (Japanese: '''ぐるみんのウェルカモ''' ''Gurumin's Wanival''), is the [[List of characters' first Pokémon|first Pokémon]] that [[Dot]] obtained, as a {{p|Quaxly}}. {{p|Quaquaval}} takes part in her videos to teach young viewers on basic knowledge on how to become a [[Pokémon Trainer]]. He is Dot's main {{pkmn|battle|battling}} Pokémon, and is usually [[Walking Pokémon|outside]] his {{i|Poké Ball}}.

==In animation==
===History===
====Pre-series====
Prior to the series, {{p|Quaquaval}} was a [[wild Pokémon|wild]] {{p|Quaxly}} living in the [[Brave Olivine]] alongside of the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]]. Eventually, he formed a close bond with [[Ludlow]] and [[Dot]]. He usually kept Ludlow company when he was [[fishing]] or participated in Nidothing's videos.

===={{aniseries|HZ}}====
=====As a wild Pokémon=====
[[File:Ludlow and Dot Quaxly.png|thumb|left|250px|Quaxly and [[Ludlow]]]]
Quaquaval first debuted as a Quaxly in ''[[HZ001|The Pendant That Starts It All (Part One)]]'' accompanied by Nidothing, assisting with her videos about how to be a [[Pokémon Trainer]]. In [[HZ002|the following episode]], Quaxly could be seen again panicking as the Rising Volt Tacklers were traveling through a thunderstorm, heading in Dot's room for safety.

In ''[[HZ006|The Ancient Poké Ball]]'', after the encounter with the [[Black Rayquaza]], Quaxly found the tracker that the [[Explorers]] had [[HZ003|previously]] placed on the bottom of the [[Brave Olivine]] and gave it to [[Ludlow]], revealing how they had found the group's location before destroying it.

In ''[[HZ007|Special Training with Cap!]]'', [[Liko]] and [[Roy]] tried to introduce themselves to Dot. As they were waiting for a response on the other side of the door, coming out from the flap of the door was Quaxly, surprising Liko. Quaxly gave Liko and Roy a Dot's message as they were asking her for help in knowing how to get better at [[Pokémon battle]]s. Later, Quaxly again came out from the flap, this time surprising Roy. Quaxly gave both of them a clue to where the Black Rayquaza was hinted to be last seen.
[[File:Liko Floragato Roy Crocalor Dot Quaxwell.png|thumb|250px|Quaxwell with {{TP|Roy|Crocalor}} and {{TP|Liko|Floragato}}]]
In ''[[HZ013|An Unexpected Picnic!]]'', with the help of [[Murdock]], Liko gave Ludlow and Dot the opportunity to have a chance of experiencing a [[picnic]], though Dot was hesitant to give a chance, Quaxly gave her a sincere smile and encouraged Dot to come out of her room to make her own [[sandwich]]. Quaxly as usual, attended the event with Ludlow and Dot.

In ''[[HZ015|Someone We Can't See! Whosawhatsit?]]'', when Liko disappeared, Dot personally volunteered to help search for her. When asked by [[Friede]] if she has a Pokémon in mind that would be ready to enter a Pokémon battle, Quaxly volunteered to battle alongside Dot as her partner.

=====With Dot=====
[[File:Dot choosing Quaxly.png|thumb|250px|left|Quaxly being picked to be [[Dot]]'s [[List of characters' first Pokémon|first Pokémon]]]]
In ''[[HZ016|Quaxly, We Can Do It]]'', Quaxly was officially caught as Dot's [[List of characters' first Pokémon|first Pokémon]]. He participated in his first battle against [[Spinel]]'s Pokémon with the aid of Liko, Roy, and their respective partners, with Quaxly assisting Sprigatito in defeating Magneton. Afterwards, he encouraged Dot to reveal her true identity as Nidothing to Liko, one of her fans, after several previous failures.

In ''[[HZ027|As Long as I'm with My Friends]]'', Quaxly accompanied Dot and other members of the Team to collect ingredients for a [[curry]] cook off between Liko and Roy. He used Water Gun to scare off a group of {{p|Skwovet}} and {{p|Greedent}} that attacked Roy and Fuecoco. Afterwards, he happily ate curry alongside his Trainer and the other Rising Volt Tacklers after the curry cook off had been counted as a draw.

In ''[[HZ039|Tinkatink's Ideal Hammer]]'', Quaxly worked with Dot to help a wild {{p|Tinkatink}} get her hammer back from a {{p|Orthworm}}, as Dot had him use Water Gun around the area in order to corner it. Dot's planned work and Quaxly was able to help Tinkatink get her hammer back, and the {{pkmn|category|Metalsmith Pokémon}} was able to defeat it.

In ''[[HZ041|A Wild Mom Appears!]]'', Dot used Quaxly in a battle against her mother, [[Franka]], and her {{form|Lycanroc|Midnight Form}} {{p|Lycanroc}}. Quaxly was initially at a disadvantage due to Lycanroc's use of {{m|Counter}}, but while following Dot's order to aim for Lycanroc's legs, the Duckling Pokémon ended up learning {{m|Low Kick}} and defeated Lycanroc, winning Dot the battle.

In ''[[HZ044|The Plan to Capture Rayquaza]]'', Quaxly and Tinkatink were used to battle [[Chalce]]'s {{p|Medicham}}, keeping them distracted long enough for Dot to install a kill program into the generator the Explorers were using to lure out the [[Black Rayquaza]]. In [[HZ045|the following episode]], Quaxly helped take on the Black Rayquaza. With assistance from [[Captain Pikachu]]'s Rising {{m|Volt Tackle}}, Quaxly and Sprigatito were sent flying high enough to launch attacks at Rayquaza. Despite this, Quaxly was eventually taken out by a stray {{m|Draco Meteor}}.
[[File:HZ050.png|thumb|250px|Quaxly battling [[Iono's Bellibolt]]]]
In ''[[HZ049|Dot and Nidothing]]'', Quaxly participated in a livestreamed training battle against Roy's Fuecoco as per Iono's request. However due to his Trainer getting nervous and unable to issue her commands, Quaxly was clueless as what to do and was instantly defeated by Fuecoco as a result. Quaxly soon confronted his Trainer about needing to rely on her Nidothing costume in public. Quaxly then battled against a wild {{p|Varoom}}, with his bravery and determination inspiring Dot to let go of her fears and become more confident in public, allowing her to command Quaxly properly to defeat the Single-Cyl Pokémon.

In ''[[HZ050|Trending Terastallization! Dance, Dance, Quaxly!]]'', Quaxly's battle against Iono's {{p|Bellibolt}} began. Using his superior agility, Quaxly launched a variety of attacks at his opponent, only to activate Bellibolt's {{a|Electromorphosis}} [[Ability]], powering up its {{type|Electric}} moves. Although Dot had Quaxly Terastallize for the first time, they were unable to defeat Bellibolt even with Quaxly's newly-learnt {{m|Liquidation}}. Iono then won the battle with Bellibolt's Terastal-boosted {{m|Discharge}}. Despite the loss, Dot and Quaxly still managed to pass their basics test for fully letting loose and having fun in battle, showing how their bond had improved.

In ''[[HZ055|Showdown! The Paldea Elite Four]]'', Quaxly was used in a tag battle alongside Iono's Bellibolt against [[Poppy]]'s {{p|Tinkaton}} and {{p|Copperajah}}. Both Pokémon struggled to deal damage to their opponents and deal with the effects of {{m|Sandstorm}}, but Quaxly had an idea to use his dancing footwork for triggering Bellibolt's Electromorphosis Ability to strengthen its moves. Dot and Iono soon formed a plan which allowed a Terastallized Quaxly to distract and clash with Tinkaton while a supercharged Bellibolt ambushed and defeated the unsuspecting Copperajah with a powerful {{m|Zap Cannon}}, winning the match by default.
[[File:HZ059.png|thumb|250px|left|Quaxly battling [[Larry#In animation|Larry]]'s {{P|Staraptor}}]]
In ''[[HZ058|Food Fit for a Kingambit!]]'', Quaxly was used by Dot at the [[Anything Goes Café]] to help calm down some kids who were scared by {{p|Kingambit}} with his dancing skills. Quaxly was then used in a battle against [[Sidian]]'s {{p|Garganacl}} to spread its salt around to attract more customers to the café. After the job was done, Quaxly and his Trainer soon headed of for the test battle against [[Larry]].

In ''[[HZ059|Dance, Quaxly! The Blue Medali Step!]]'', Quaxly was used against Larry's {{p|Dudunsparce}}. He was {{status|paralyzed}} by {{m|Glare}} and then recalled in favor of Tinkatink. He later went up against {{p|Staraptor}}. He struggled at first, but was motivated by Dot to utilize his dancing skills to boost the power of his attacks to deal more damage to his opponent. Quaxly then suddenly [[Evolution|evolved]] into {{p|Quaxwell}}, surprising everyone and Terastallizing immediately after his Evolution to deal more damage to Staraptor further, but his paralysis effect soon returned. Larry then got serious, Terastallizing Staraptor and defeating Quaxwell with {{m|Facade}} soon after. Despite the loss, Quaxwell and his Trainer still passed the test overall for their opportunistic use of Terastallization, and Dot once again vowed to grow more stronger as a Trainer alongside her partner.

In ''[[HZ067|Shine on, Terastallization! Liko vs. Roy!]]'', Quaxwell was used to battle against [[Rob]]'s {{p|Darumaka}} during the [[Tera Training Student Battle Tournament]], in which Quaxwell won after Terastallizing. After the events of the tournament, Quaxwell and his Trainer met up with Poppy, who encouraged them on their progress.

In ''[[HZ068|Into a New Sky! The Brave Olivine!]]'', Quaxwell faced off against Lucius's Lapras in a training battle, where he had to avoid most of Lapras's icy attacks. Dot then came up with a plan to have Quaxwell skate on the ice Lapras created to dodge its attacks and hit it with a supereffective Low Kick. Quaxwell was then Terastallized to do more damage, and although Lapras was still standing after the attack, it was impressed by Dot and Quaxwell's strength and returned to its Poké Ball.

In ''[[HZ070|Tinkatink's Hammer Wasn't Made in a Day]]'', while on their way to meet [[Briar]] at the [[Crystal Pool]], Quaxwell and the others were pestered by a wild {{p|Bombirdier}}. The Bombirdier stole a metal plate Tinkatink wanted to forge into a new hammer, forcing her, Dot, and Quaxwell to chase after it. Later, Dot tried to Terastallize Quaxwell against the Bombirdier, only to drop her Tera Orb when a second Bombirdier came to help its partner. Once Tinkatink retrieved the plate and forged it into a new hammer, she evolved into {{p|Tinkatuff}} and helped Quaxwell drive the two Item Drop Pokémon into fleeing. Quaxwell and Dot then praised Tinkatuff for how much she had grown.

In ''[[HZ071|Encounters at the Crystal Pool]]'', Quaxwell and Dot reached the Crystal Pool on [[Oni Mountain]]. After Friede left to look for Briar, a wild Terastalized {{p|Milotic}} emerged from the water and attacked the group. Quaxwell fought alongside Crocalor and Floragato, struggling at first due to Milotic's constant swimming and dodging. Dot used Quaxwell to lure Milotic out, so Crocalor could calm it down and it decided to let the group stay. Quaxwell was then used in a battle against [[Perrin]]'s {{p|Leafeon}}, as his Trainer wanted information regarding {{TP|Lucius|Kleavor}} from her. Quaxwell struggled due to the [[type]] disadvantage at first, but he soon learnt {{m|Air Cutter}} to gain the upper hand and eventually defeated Leafeon.
[[File:HZ073.png|thumb|250px|Quaxwell, Floragato, and Crocalor challenging {{TP|Lucius|Kleavor}}]]
In ''[[HZ072|The Search for Kleavor!]]'', Quaxwell accompanied his trainer on [[Tengu Mountain]] in seach for Lucius's Kleavor, along the way the group were hypnotized by a wild Trevenant, causing them to walk in circles until Quaxwell tripped on a rock, waking him up and helping him in turn to wake the rest of the group up, Quaxwell then worked together with Perrin's Hisuian Growlithe in fending off Trevenant. Quaxwell and Dot then reunited with the rest of Liko's group in their search for Kleavor.

In ''[[HZ073|Kleavor the Solitary Warrior]]'', Dot, Quaxwell and their friends encountered Lucius's Kleavor, with Quaxwell, Floragato, and Crocalor battling it to show their strength in order to convince the Pokémon to join their group. Kleavor had the advantage of strength and battle experience, but their strategies eventually paid off in dealing big damage to it, causing it to use {{m|Stone Axe}} to take them more seriously. In the end despite Terastallizing and doing major damage to Kleavor, Quaxwell and her two friends were still defeated, but Kleavor was impressed enough by their strength to join their group.

In ''[[HZ078|Entei's Fierce Battle Cry!]]'', Quaxwell faced what was presumed to be Lucius' {{DL|Six Heroes|Entei}} along with Captain Pikachu, Floragato, and Crocalor. Although they failed to defeat it, {{p|Entei}} recognized their strength, but revealed itself to be a wild Pokémon and not the one the Rising Volt Tacklers were looking for.
[[File:HZ088.png|thumb|left|250px|Quaxwell teaming up with Floragato, Crocalor, and {{TP|Amethio|Ceruledge}} to take on the {{shiny|White}} {{TP|Gibeon|Zygarde}}]]
In ''[[HZ079|Over the Top!]]'', Quaxwell, Floragato, and Crocalor faced [[Geeta]]'s {{p|Glimmora}} and two {{p|Glimmet}}. After a great team effort, Quaxwell and Crocalor were defeated, with the only Floragato and Glimmora remaining on the field, but Liko's Pokémon eventually managed to win thanks to her {{a|Overgrow}} Ability. In this way, the Rising Volt Tacklers were granted entry into [[Area Zero]] to search for Entei.

In ''[[HZ081|The Pillar of Fire]]'', Quaxwell and his friends battled against Lucius's "Entei". Quaxwell was struggling due to "Entei" [[Protection|protecting]] itself with {{m|Burning Bulwark}}, and its surprising resistance to Water-type attacks. He then managed to learn {{m|Aqua Cutter}} in the midst of battle, allowing him to damage "Entei" more effectively. After learning from Briar about "Entei" actually being a Gouging Fire, Quaxwell and his friends formed a new plan of attack. Quaxwell Terastallized along with Crocalor and Floragato, managing to deal good hits on Gouging Fire, even putting out its flames with consecutive Aqua Cutter attacks. After Captain Pikachu stunned Gouging Fire and Floragato took back the other [[Ancient Poké Ball]]s, Quaxwell's group as a whole passed Gouging Fire's test, earning its trust before it returned to its Ancient Poké Ball. In the [[HZ082|next episode]], Quaxwell joined the fight against Black Rayquaza but was ultimately defeated.

In ''[[HZ086|The Rising Volt Tacklers vs. The Explorers!]]'', Quaxwell battled against Chalce's Medicham, despite his opponent anticipating and countering his moves, thanks to Dot's unpredictable tactics, Quaxwell was able to gain the upper hand in the fight to deal more damage to Medicham. In [[HZ087|the next episode]], Quaxwell Terastallized and teamed up with Floragato, Crocalor, and Ceruledge in order to face off against [[Gibeon]]'s [[White Zygarde|Zygarde]]. Despite the group's efforts, however, they were still no match for the Order Pokémon. After the battle, Zygarde got up and revealed it was testing Liko's and her friends' strength and resolve all along.

In ''[[HZ102|The Knight in the Ruins]]'', Quaxwell was used alongside Tinkatuff in a [[Double Battle]] battle against [[Penny]]'s Pokemon. Despite Terastallizing and doing damage to {{p|Sylveon}}, Quaxwell was defeated by {{p|Flareon}}, causing Dot's defeat.

In ''[[HZ109|Tinkatuff's Hammer Wasn't Made in a Year!]]'', Quaxwell was used to battle against [[Coral]] and Sidian, buying enough time for Tinkatuff to forge her new hammer. Although Quaxwell was defeated by Glalie, Tinkatuff with Dot and Gimmighoul's help was able to make her new hammer, which led her to evolve into {{p|Tinkaton}}, defeating the Explorers and sending them retreating.

In [[HZ125]], Quaxwell and Tinkaton were brought out to battle [[Lucius's Arboliva]], which was being controlled by Chalce. However, despite his efforts, Quaxwell was knocked out by Arboliva.

In [[HZ127]], Quaxwell battled against Penny's {{p|Vaporeon}}. Despite struggling against his opponent's {{a|Water Absorb}} Ability, Quaxwell continued to dodge and counter his opponent's attacks. After Vaporeon was ordered to attack Tinkaton and Gholdengo, Quaxwell stepped in to protect them continuously, resulting in his defeat.

In [[HZ128]], Quaxwell continued to train with Tinkaton and Gholdengo to get stronger, with Iono observing from a distance. He then battled against Iono's Bellibolt in a rematch, struggling and almost fainting at first, but managing to learn {{m|Wave Crash}} to turn the tide of battle. Quaxwell then suddenly evolved into {{p|Quaquaval}}, shocking everyone and prompting both Dot and Iono to Terastallize their Pokémon. Quaquaval eventually defeated Bellibolt, winning Dot the battle and restoring her confidence. After the battle, Quaquaval celebrated his victory with the rest of his friends during a dinner party.

In [[HZ134]], Quaquaval and Tinkaton were sent out to help the rest of the Tera Type Pokémon purify Laquium for good. In the [[HZ135|next episode]], Quaquaval and the rest of the Tera Type Pokémon made an attempt to purify the Laquium Core, but the Explorers interfered, losing Penny's Sylveon in the process, until Coral sent out her {{p|Scream Tail}}, nicknamed Screamypuff, to take the Intertwining Pokémon's place. However, Quaquaval and the rest of the Tera Type Pokémon couldn't erase the Laquium Core before Spinel merged with it, awakening it. Quaquaval subsequently teamed up with his friends to take down the Laquium Core. In the [[HZ136|following episode]], Quaquaval joined his friends in helping Pagogo erase the Laquium Core for good after the Black Rayquaza and [[White Zygarde]] used [[Mega Evolution]] to make an opening for them to do so.

===Personality and characteristics===
[[File:Dot and Quaquaval.png|thumb|250px|Quaquaval and Dot]]
As their {{p|Quaxly|species}} are known for, Quaquaval, while he was a Quaxly, loves to be clean and dislikes being dirty, as seen in ''[[HZ007|Special Training with Cap!]]'', when [[Roy]] attempted to touch the Duckling Pokémon, but unexpectedly got his hand slapped by him. Despite this, Quaxly has shown to be friendly, as he befriended [[Liko's Sprigatito]] and [[Roy's Fuecoco]] right away, even staying friends with them after they both evolved into their middle and final stages. Quaxly also has a habit of making poses for various reasons and is a good dancer, as he enjoys doing it. He has been shown to be out-going as he often accompanies [[Ludlow]], who he gets along well with, and watches the rest of the members of the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]]. In addition, Quaquaval has been shown to be the voice of reason to those around him, especially to [[Dot]] and his teammates, as he encourages his Trainer to participate in social interactions and other situations she usually avoids. Quaquaval is even the peace maker to his teammates, as shown in [[HZ127]] when he stopped them from arguing over a [[Sitrus Berry]] by cutting it in half for them to share.

Quaquaval is very loyal to Dot and shares a close bond with her, not needing to be called by her when needed in her room. Quaxly even chose Dot to be his {{pkmn|Trainer}} and has been waiting for her to catch him, as seen in ''[[HZ016|Quaxly, We Can Do It]]''. His closeness to Dot has been seen when he would sit on her shoulders or head. After evolving into Quaxwell, he would often give Dot a boost when she would get tired from walking. In addition, Quaxly would show his support in having new friends join Dot's [[party|team]], as shown in ''[[HZ039|Tinkatink's Ideal Hammer]]'', when he gave his Trainer a {{I|Poké Ball}} in order to catch a {{p|Tinkatink}} they befriended. This was shown again in ''[[HZ105|Riding the Waves]]'', when Quaxwell gave his support in letting Dot catch a {{p|Gimmighoul}} that has been [[HZ102|following]] [[HZ103|them]].
[[File:Gholdengo Quaquaval Tinkaton.png|thumb|left|250px|Quaquaval, {{TP|Dot|Tinkaton}}, and {{TP|Dot|Gholdengo}}]]
Behind the scene of their livestream in ''[[HZ008|The Door That Never Opens]]'', Quaxly can be seen being skeptical when Dot fumbles or gives generic advice. Quaxly acts like a director, keeping Dot focused on the streams, avoiding a potential break in character live or when making videos. Quaxly also would help with Dot's fans as Nidothing, as shown in ''[[HZ036|Mission: Find Oinkologne's Partner!]]'', when he accompanied [[Liko]] and Roy to meet a fan that asked his Trainer for help. In addition, Quaxly would make sure that no one knows about Dot's identity as Nidothing, as shown in ''Tinkatink's Ideal Hammer'', when he blocked the camera so his Trainer wasn't exposed, after Tinkatink tried to take the zipper from Dot's costume.
[[File:HZ123 RVT Mochi dance.png|240px|thumb|right|Quaxwell enjoying the Mochi dance while the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] are possessed by [[Diana]]'s {{p|Pecharunt}}.]]
He and {{TP|Dot|Tinkaton}} became close friends after meeting each other in their first stages, as he went out of his way to help her, while she was a Tinkatink, retrieve her hammer from a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Orthworm}}. Ever since they became teammates, he keeps an eye on Tinkatink, as he prevents her from making hammers from unnecessary items and keeps her out of trouble. They also formed a sibling relationship, as he comes to see her as his little sister and is protective of her. After Quaxly defeated [[Franka]]'s {{p|Lycanroc}} in a battle, Quaxly and Tinkatink shared a happy hug to celebrate his win. They maintain their bond after evolving, even into their final stages.

At first, Quaquaval would find Gimmighoul annoying when it would take control of him, Dot and {{p|Tinkatuff}} into collecting coins for it. However, he quickly accepted Gimmighoul as his teammate and befriended it, even seeing it as his youngest sibling. Quaxwell's friendship with Gimmighoul grows after it evolved into {{TP|Dot|Gholdengo}}. He has also shown the same protectiveness for Gholdengo like he does for Tinkaton.

Quaquaval is shown to be aware of his surroundings. In ''Quaxly, We Can Do It'', before {{p|Arboliva}}'s [[Ancient Poké Ball]] shined, Quaxly sensed something strange when the van that [[Spinel]] was operating went past Liko, Roy, and Dot. He also sneakily hid next to the kitchen door after [[Friede]] thought the coast was clear in ''The Door That Never Opens''. After his Evolution, Quaxwell has become more confident than before and has been seen practicing his dance moves more often, and incorporating dancing to his battle style as a whole.

Due to being a {{type|Water}}, Quaquaval enjoys being in the water and doing various activities in it, even becoming sad when he doesn't get a chance to play in it, as seen in ''[[HZ105|Riding the Waves]]''. Upon seeing his friends surfing with their Trainers, Quaquaval took an interest in it and encouraged Dot to try it. Ever since losing to [[Lucius's Arboliva]] in [[HZ125]], Quaxwell became determined to get stronger in order to help Dot and his friends, as he has been training none stop, as seen in [[HZ127]]. He also didn't mind his teammates helping him with his training, even inspiring them to do the same. After fully evolving, Quaquaval has become more powerful, self-assured and a better dancer overall.

==Trivia==
* Quaquaval is the first {{type|Water}} [[first partner Pokémon]] to have a confirmed gender since [[Ash's Oshawott]], who had his gender confirmed in ''[[BW007|Snivy Plays Hard to Catch!]]'', 604 episodes earlier.
* Out of the three [[Paldea]] first partner Pokémon featured in {{aniseries|HZ}}, Quaquaval is the only one to:
** Have been obtained in the [[region]] his species was introduced in. Ironically, Quaxly's [[Pokédex entry]] from {{pkmn|Scarlet and Violet|Scarlet}} says the species is originally foreign from Paldea.
** Receive a [[Pokédex entry]] for his middle stage.
** Have evolved twice in the same region.
** Have not learned his species' {{m|Aqua Step|signature move}}.
* Both of Quaquaval's [[Evolution]]s happened during battles against Paldea [[Gym Leader]]s: [[Larry]] and {{an|Iono}}.
** Overall, he is the only first partner Pokémon in the animated series to have evolved during a battle against a Gym Leader.
* Quaquaval, as a Quaxwell, was shown to know {{m|Wave Crash}} before he evolved, despite Quaxwell being [[Animated series move errors|unable to learn it]].
** This makes Quaquaval the first Pokémon in '' Pokémon Horizons: The Series'' to use a move it cannot legally learn in the {{pkmn|games}}.
* Quaquaval is currently the only Pokémon owned by the younger members of the Rising Volt Tacklers to be a Water-type.

'''Rubina''' (Japanese: '''ルーベラ''' ''Rubella'') is a recurring antagonist who first appeared in ''[[HZ099|Orla, Grounded]]''. She is a member of the [[Explorers]] and is commonly seen at [[Indi]]'s side.

==History==
[[File:Indi and Rubina.png|250px|thumb|left|Indi and Rubina battling together]]
Rubina debuted in ''[[HZ099|Orla, Grounded]]'', alongside [[Indi]]. During an argument between [[Karna]] and a pair of [[Exceed]] subordinates, they intervened in order to convince Karna to deliver the [[Strong Sphere]] parts. However, they soon found out [[Liko]] and [[Roy]] of the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] being there and immediately engaged in battle against them, [[Dot]], and [[Ult]], using their Strong Spheres to power up their {{rf|Paldean}} {{p|Tauros}}. The battle properly started in the [[HZ100|next episode]], where they ended up being defeated after their opponents discovered the pattern behind the Tauros's attacks. After retreating, they reported back to [[Spinel]].

In ''[[HZ106|The Dusk Ball That Wouldn't Open]]'', Rubina and Indi spotted {{OBP|Ryan|HZ106}} trying to trade a [[Dusk Ball]] housing a powerful Pokémon for a Strong Sphere and were seemingly about to accept the offer, only for Ult to show up, declaring himself as the Dusk Ball's owner. Recognizing him as a Rising Volt Tackler, Rubina put away the Dusk Ball, and the Explorer duo prepared for battle, powering up their {{p|Darmanitan}} with their Strong Spheres. They managed to overpower Ult in numbers and raw strength, but Ult managed to still win once his {{p|Dragonite}} emerged from the Dusk Ball, reacting with its Trainer's willingness to fight for others, forcing Rubina and Indi to retreat. In the [[HZ107|next episode]], Rubina and Indi fought against Ult and Roy, this time with each other's Darmanitan in their {{form|Darmanitan|Zen Mode}}. Due to the assistance of a {{p|Rabsca}} army, they managed to keep the upper hand for the majority of the battle, only to lose once more as Ult's Dragonite reappeared and [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] alongside [[Roy's Lucario]].

In ''[[HZ109|Tinkatuff's Hammer Wasn't Made in a Year!]]'', Rubina and Indi confronted Liko, Roy, and Ult at an [[Exceed]] distribution center. In the [[HZ110|following episode]], they used Super Strong Spheres, an upgraded form of the Strong Sphere, to strengthen the captured Six Heroes and force them to battle Liko and her friends. In the [[HZ111|following episode]], Amethio arrived to help battle the rampaging heroes. Despite their combined strength, Liko and the others eventually suffered a total defeat. Exhausted, the effects of the Super Strong Spheres wore off on the heroes, whose unconscious bodies were taken away by the [[Explorers]].

In ''[[HZ120|Dot and Penny's Top-Secret Mission!]]'', Rubina managed to intercept an invasion of Dot and [[Penny]] at the Exceed Museum along with [[Indi]] and [[Chalce]]. After a battle against the two Trainers' Pokémon, Chalce managed to separate Dot from her friend and leave the rest to her and Indi. However, Penny and her {{p|Sylveon}} and {{p|Jolteon}} defeated Rubina's {{p|Scolipede}} and Indi's {{p|Drapion}} before Dot and Penny escaped with the [[Laquium]] data thanks to her newly evolved {{TP|Dot|Gholdengo}}.

In [[HZ124]], the younger Rising Volt Tacklers and Amethio infiltrated the [[Explorers HQ]] to rescue the captured Six Heroes. Rubina and Indi battled Liko and Amethio to prevent them from entering the building, using Super Strong Spheres to empower their {{p|Salamence}}. They were eventually defeated after Liko's {{p|Charcadet}} evolved into {{TP|Liko|Armarouge}} and learned {{m|Armor Cannon}}.

In the [[HZ125|following episode]], Spinel lured Liko's group into a trap where each of them was isolated into a room containing an Explorers member and one of the Six Heroes. Rubina battled with {{TP|Lucius|Gouging Fire}}, but it eventually lost when Ult Mega Evolved his {{p|Dragonite}} then had it use {{m|Twister}} to send it crashing into its cage. Once each of the Six Heroes was taken out, [[Pagogo]] used its purifying power to cure them of the Laquium's effects. Liko and her friends escaped with the Six Heroes, but unbeknownst to them, Spinel recorded their encounter and manipulated the events to make the Rising Volt Tacklers appear as the villains. He used this to force the Rising Volt Tacklers into hiding from the public and advertise the Strong Sphere.

In [[HZ133]], Rubina and Indi confronted Dot, {{an|Nemona}}, and [[Penny]] on [[Mount Pericarp]]. They revealed that they were aware of the Rising Volt Tacklers' plan to purify the Laquium Core using the power of Pokémon with eighteen different Tera Types. In order to prevent the plan's success, Rubina and Indi tried to faint some of the chosen Tera Type Pokémon, only for [[Hamber]] to step in and assist Dot's group. Once their Pokémon were defeated, Rubina and Indi were forced to flee. In the [[HZ134|following episode]], Rubina, Indi, and Spinel greeted the Rising Volt Tacklers at [[Laqua]]'s summit.

In [[HZ135]], Rubina, Indi, and and some Grunts used their Pokémon to stop the Rising Volt Tacklers from completing the ritual to purify the Laquium Core. They successfully took out Penny's Sylveon, only for Coral, Sidian, and Chalce to appear and reveal that they were no longer working for Spinel. Coral sent out Screamypuff, her {{p|Scream Tail}}, and had it take Sylveon's place as the {{type|Fairy}} user. Refusing to let his machinations be ruined, Spinel fused with the Laquium itself, causing the Core to rise from the earth. Rubina and Indi were forced to watch in horror as the Core began attacking anyone it perceived as a threat.

In [[HZ136]], Rubina and Indi watched as Spinel became despondent over the loss of the Laquium Core and being defeated by Liko and her Meowscarada. When Umbreon abandons Spinel because of his actions, Rubina and Indi are unsure of what to do. What happened to Rubina and Indi specifically after the truth is exposed and Spinel is arrested for his crimes is unknown.

==Character==
Rubina has a stoic personality and is quite cold and calculating. Due to their use of [[Strong Sphere]]s, both she and [[Indi]] battle without issuing actual instructions to their Pokémon, instead making them rely on their natural instincts, which makes battling against them hard to predict at times.

In [[HZ124]], she is shown to be arrogant and ignorant to the condition of her Pokémon as she was ignorant about the state of her {{p|Salamence}}, saying that she didn't care about its current state, fully believing using a Strong Sphere guarantees victory even after being proven wrong multiple times. Despite her cold and stoic personality, Rubina is loyal to [[Spinel]] and follows his orders without question. She becomes shocked seeing his despondent behavior in [[HZ136]] as Umbreon abandons him and is unsure about what to do. In [[HZ133]], she is shown to use underhanded tactics to take down her opponent such as using {{m|Destiny Bond}} and {{m|Curse}}.

==Trivia==
* Rubina mostly uses red Pokémon, so when she used [[Indi]]'s {{rf|Galarian}} {{P|Darmanitan}}, it changed to its {{form|Darmanitan|Zen Mode}} to match that color.
** Even though they used Pokémon of the same species in some battles and different Pokémon in others, in every battle the Pokémon they used had a type in common (Fighting for Paldean Tauros; Fire for Darmanitan; Poison for Drapion and Scolipede; Dragon and Flying for Salamence; Ghost for Cofagrigus and Runerigus; Electric for Electrode).
* Rubina and Indi are tied for owning the most Pokémon of any character introduced in {{aniseries|HZ}}, with eleven each.

'''Indi''' (Japanese: '''インディ''' ''Indi'') is a recurring antagonist who first appeared in ''[[HZ099|Orla, Grounded]]''. He is a member of the [[Explorers]] and is commonly seen at [[Rubina]]'s side.

==History==
[[File:Indi and Rubina.png|250px|thumb|left|Indi and Rubina battling together]]
Indi debuted in ''[[HZ099|Orla, Grounded]]'', alongside [[Rubina]]. During an argument between [[Karna]] and a pair of [[Exceed]] subordinates, they intervened in order to convince Karna to deliver the [[Strong Sphere]] parts. However, they soon found out [[Liko]] and [[Roy]] of the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] being there and immediately engaged in battle against them, [[Dot]], and [[Ult]], using their Strong Spheres to power up their {{rf|Paldean}} {{p|Tauros}}. The battle properly started in the [[HZ100|next episode]], where they ended up being defeated after their opponents discovered the pattern behind the Tauros's attacks. After retreating, they reported back to [[Spinel]].

In ''[[HZ106|The Dusk Ball That Wouldn't Open]]'', Indi and Rubina spotted {{OBP|Ryan|HZ106}} trying to trade a [[Dusk Ball]] housing a powerful Pokémon for a Strong Sphere. Indi was seemingly about to accept the offer, only for Ult to show up, declaring himself as the Dusk Ball's owner. Recognizing him as a Rising Volt Tackler, they put away the Dusk Ball and prepared for battle, powering up their {{p|Darmanitan}} with their Strong Spheres. They managed to overpower Ult in numbers and raw strength, but Ult managed to still win once his {{p|Dragonite}} emerged from the Dusk Ball, reacting with its Trainer's willingness to fight for others, forcing Rubina and Indi to retreat. In the [[HZ107|next episode]], Indi and Rubina fought against Ult and Roy, this time with each other's Darmanitan in their {{form|Darmanitan|Zen Mode}}. Due to the assistance of a {{p|Rabsca}} army, they managed to keep the upper hand for the majority of the battle, only to lose once more as Ult's Dragonite reappeared and [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] alongside [[Roy's Lucario]].

In ''[[HZ109|Tinkatuff's Hammer Wasn't Made in a Year!]]'', Indi and Rubina confronted Liko, Roy, and Ult at an Exceed distribution center. In the [[HZ110|following episode]], they used Super Strong Spheres, an upgraded form of the Strong Sphere, to strengthen the captured Six Heroes and force them to battle Liko and her friends. In the [[HZ111|following episode]], [[Amethio]] arrived to help battle the rampaging heroes. Despite their combined strength, Liko and the others eventually suffered a total defeat. Exhausted, the effects of the Super Strong Spheres wore off on the heroes, whose unconscious bodies were taken away by the [[Explorers]].

In ''[[HZ120|Dot and Penny's Top-Secret Mission!]]'', Indi managed to intercept an invasion of Dot and [[Penny]] at the Exceed Museum along with Rubina and [[Chalce]]. After a battle against the two Trainers' Pokémon, Chalce managed to separate Dot from her friend and leave the rest to him and Rubina. However, Penny and her {{p|Sylveon}} and {{p|Jolteon}} defeated Indi's {{p|Drapion}} and Rubina's {{p|Scolipede}} before Dot and Penny escaped with the [[Laquium]] data thanks to her newly-evolved {{TP|Dot|Gholdengo}}.

In [[HZ124]], the younger Rising Volt Tacklers and Amethio infiltrated the [[Explorers HQ]] to rescue the captured Six Heroes. Indi and Rubina battled Liko and Amethio to prevent them from entering the building, using Super Strong Spheres to empower their {{p|Salamence}}. They were eventually defeated after Liko's {{p|Charcadet}} evolved into {{TP|Liko|Armarouge}} and learned {{m|Armor Cannon}}.

In the [[HZ125|following episode]], Spinel lured Liko's group into a trap where each of them was isolated into a room containing an Explorers member and one of the Six Heroes. Indi battled Amethio with {{TP|Lucius|Lapras}}, but it eventually lost when {{TP|Amethio|Zygarde}} used the speed of its 10% Forme to overwhelm Lapras before fainting it with {{m|Core Enforcer}}. Once each of the Six Heroes was taken out, [[Pagogo]] used its purifying power to cure them of the Laquium's effects. Liko and her friends escaped with the Six Heroes, but unbeknownst to them, Spinel recorded their encounter and manipulated the events to make the Rising Volt Tacklers appear as the villains. He used this to force the Rising Volt Tacklers into hiding from the public and advertise the Strong Sphere.

In [[HZ133]], Indi and Rubina confronted Dot, {{an|Nemona}}, and Penny on [[Mount Pericarp]]. They revealed that they were aware of the Rising Volt Tacklers' plan to purify the Laquium Core using the power of Pokémon with eighteen different Tera Types. In order to prevent the plan's success, Indi and Rubina tried to faint some of the chosen Tera Type Pokémon, only for [[Hamber]] to step in and assist Dot's group. Once their Pokémon were defeated, Indi and Rubina were forced to flee. In the [[HZ134|following episode]], Indi, Rubina, and Spinel greeted the Rising Volt Tacklers at [[Laqua]]'s summit.

In [[HZ135]], Indi, Rubina, and some Grunts used their Pokémon to stop the Rising Volt Tacklers from completing the ritual to purify the Laquium Core. They successfully took out Penny's Sylveon, only for [[Coral]], [[Sidian]], and Chalce to appear and reveal that they were no longer working for Spinel. Coral sent out Screamypuff, her {{p|Scream Tail}}, and had it take Sylveon's place as the {{type|Fairy}} user. Refusing to let his machinations be ruined, Spinel fused with the Laquium itself, causing the Core to rise from the earth. Indi and Rubina were forced to watch in horror as the Core began attacking anyone it perceived as a threat.

In [[HZ136]], Indi and Rubina watched as Spinel became despondent over the loss of the Laquium Core and being defeated by Liko and her {{TP|Liko|Meowscarada}}. When {{p|Umbreon}} abandoned Spinel because of his actions, Indi and Rubina were unsure of what to do. What happened to Indi and Rubina specifically after the truth was exposed and Spinel was arrested for his crimes was unknown.

==Character==
Indi has a stoic personality and is quite cold and calculating. Due to their use of [[Strong Sphere]]s, both he and [[Rubina]] battle without issuing actual instructions to their Pokémon, instead making them rely on their natural instincts, which makes battling against them hard to predict at times. As seen in ''[[HZ107|Friends as Two, Me and You]]'', he is quite selective with the colors of the Pokémon he uses and is willing to swap Pokémon if it better fits his color scheme.

In [[HZ124]], he is shown to be arrogant and ignorant to the condition of his Pokémon as he was ignorant about the state of his {{p|Salamence}} saying that the Strong Sphere guarantees victory even after being proven wrong multiple times. Despite his cold and stoic personality, Indi is loyal to [[Spinel]] and follows his orders without question. He becomes shocked seeing his despondent behavior in [[HZ136]] as Umbreon abandons him and is unsure about what to do. In [[HZ133]], he is shown to use underhanded tactics to take down his opponent such as using {{m|Destiny Bond}} and {{m|Curse}}.

After it was defeated, Indi used another Super Strong Sphere on it under [[Spinel]]'s orders, but the Explorers were thwarted through the combined efforts of the White Zygarde and [[Pagogo]].

==Trivia==
* Indi mostly uses blue Pokémon, so when he used [[Rubina]]'s {{p|Darmanitan}}, it changed to its {{form|Darmanitan|Zen Mode}} to match that color.
** Even though they used Pokémon of the same species in some battles and different Pokémon in others, in every battle the Pokémon they used had a type in common (Fighting for Paldean Tauros; Fire for Darmanitan; Poison for Drapion and Scolipede; Dragon and Flying for Salamence; Ghost for Cofagrigus and Runerigus; Electric for Electrode).
* Indi and Rubina are tied for owning the most Pokémon of any character introduced in {{aniseries|HZ}}, with eleven each.

Ryan (HZ106)

2026-05-16T16:34:11Z

Franky7:

[[File:Ryan.png|thumb|250px|Ryan]]
'''Ryan''' (Japanese: '''ラァユ''' ''Rayu'') is a [[character of the day]] who appeared in ''[[HZ106|The Dusk Ball That Wouldn't Open]]''. He is a street artist active in [[Manpūku Town]].

Ryan was struggling to sell paintings by {{p|Grafaiai}} due to it only painting the color pink. Disheartened, he overheard some people nearby talking about their newly bought [[Strong Sphere]]s. Ryan then wondered if he could buy one to empower his Grafaiai to help it paint better.

He met [[Ult]] after thinking he was stealing [[Nanab Berry|Nanab Berries]], that Ryan had marked with Grafaiai's pink saliva. It turned out the Nanab Berries belonged to another Trainer and his {{p|Mabosstiff}} however, who chased Ryan and Ult away. After talking with Ult, Ryan revealed that his Grafaiai struggled to paint with different colors due to it being picky about its [[Berry]] diet. Going into the forest, they gathered other types of Berries, trying an [[Oran Berry]] first. Grafaiai finally learned to eat other Berries, gaining a blue colored saliva to paint with. Ryan and Ult then retreated to Ryan's treehouse. After hearing how Ult's [[Dusk Ball]] contains a powerful Pokemon, Ryan grew desperate to get a Strong Sphere to empower his Grafaiai, stealing Ult's Dusk Ball before leaving his treehouse.

Arriving in the Manpūku Town shopping district, he was about the trade the Dusk Ball for a Strong Sphere only for [[Indi]] and [[Rubina]] to arrive. Ult then showed up, inciting a battle against the [[Explorers]]. Grafaiai tried to help Ult's {{p|Sableye}} with its {{m|Sludge Bomb}}, but it was easily defeated afterwards. Ryan, feeling guilty about stealing Ult's Dusk Ball and causing this mess, begged Ult to abandon him upon seeing Sableye struggle, but Ult refused to quit. Ult's Dusk Ball responded to Ult's spirit, and it opened, revealing itself to contain a {{p|Dragonite}}. Dragonite easily defeated Indi and Rubina's Pokémon, and the Explorers quickly retreated. Ult chased after them and Ryan said goodbye to him, thankful to him for defending him and Grafaiai. Ryan then encountered [[Roy]], who was looking for Ult. He told Roy where Ult went and then continued painting with Grafaiai in the streets of Manpūku Town again after being encouraged by Roy.

|desc={{p|Grafaiai}} is Ryan's only known Pokémon. It is generally used to paint paintings for Ryan to sell as a street artist.

In ''[[HZ106|The Dusk Ball That Wouldn't Open]]'', Grafaiai was shown to have a picky diet, resulting in it only painting in the color pink. After [[Ult]] and {{p|Sableye}} got it to try new [[Berry|Berries]], it became less picky and produced more colors to paint with. It tried to defend Sableye against the [[Explorers]]' {{p|Darmanitan}}, dealing some damage but getting defeated afterwards. After the battle, Grafaiai headed back to paint with its {{pkmn|Trainer}}, this time being able to paint in a wider variety of colors.

Grafaiai's only known move is {{m|Sludge Bomb}}.

Sand Surfer

{{MissingInfo|1|enva}}
[[File:Sand Surfer.png|thumb|250px|Sand Surfer]]
'''Sand Surfer''' (Japanese: '''丘サーファー野郎''' ''Hodad Guy'') is a [[character of the day]] who appeared in ''[[HZ105|Riding the Waves]]''. He is a man who hangs around beaches a lot, and is familiar with a {{p|Gholdengo}} who frequently shows up at a beach in [[Paldea]]. When [[Liko]] and [[Roy]] visited this beach, Sand Surfer informed them about Gholdengo and its popularity among the locals. When Gholdengo entered the water to surf, Sand Surfer encouraged all the surfers at the beach to go surf with it. Sand Surfer himself did not follow them however, and instead struck a surfing pose on his board at the beach.

==Trivia==
* The word hodad in Sand Surfer's Japanese name is a slang term originating from 1960's Californian surfer culture. It is often considered derogatory and describes someone who comes to the beach and has a surfboard, but never surfs, or that surfs poorly and annoys the local seasoned surfers.

}}
'''Pokémon Maze Book #2: The Quest Continues''' is a Pokémon activity book which uses mazes as a method of storytelling. It was written by [[Michael Teitelbaum]] and published by [[Golden Books]].

==Plot==
The story in this book follows the plot of ''[[EP007|The Water Flowers of Cerulean City]]'', ''[[EP008|The Path to the Pokémon League]]'', ''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]'', ''[[EP010|Bulbasaur and the Hidden Village]]'', ''[[EP011|Charmander – The Stray Pokémon]]'' and ''[[EP012|Here Comes the Squirtle Squad]]''.

==Content==
The book contains a narrative plot following the plot of several {{aniseries|OS}} episodes. With each story page, there is a maze on the adjoining page which is related to the development of the plot. The mazes have a raised texture, allowing readers to follow along with their fingers rather than writing on the pages permanently, as with most activity books.

==Trivia==
* This book, as well as the [[Pokémon Maze Book No.1|previous installment in the series]], is similar to the {{pkmn|manga}} series [[Pokémon Quiz Puzzle Land: Pikachu is a Famous Detective]]. Like this series, the manga also uses puzzles as a method of storytelling.

Temacu

2026-05-11T16:04:52Z

Franky7: /* Names */

[[File:Temacu.png|thumb|250px|Temacu]]
'''Temacu''' (Japanese: '''ヒメカ''' ''Himeka'') is a [[character of the day]] who appeared in ''[[EP198|The Heartbreak of Brock]]''.

Temacu is one of the few girls to fall in love with {{an|Brock}}, who caught her just before she tripped and fell into a fountain. Since that moment, she believed she had to marry Brock, but the confused Brock didn't reciprocate. Later, {{TRT}} attacked [[Temacu's father|her father]]'s laboratory and captured what they thought was a Pokémon, but it was actually Temacu. As she tried to get out of the balloon, she nearly fell again, but James caught her. This caused her to fall in love with James and want to marry him instead. Thinking they could get their hands on the Pokémon at the lab through Temacu's infatuation with James, [[Jessie]] and {{MTR}} forced him to play along, even if it meant that he had to marry her, though James was uncomfortable with the idea.

To accommodate the new plan, Team Rocket changed outfits and made up a cover story about James saving Temacu from attackers for her father. Brock was heartbroken after he found out that Temacu had fallen for James. Soon, {{an|Misty}} pulled off Jessie's disguise, exposing the trio and prompting them to run away. When they were trying to escape, Misty ordered her {{TP|Misty|Poliwhirl}} to attack James with {{m|Water Gun}}. Temacu, worried for James's safety, jumped in front of the attack and fainted as a result.

Later, Temacu's father explained to Ash and his friends that she had become obsessed with marriage since her cousin's recent wedding. Temacu eventually woke up, only to fall in love with the first man she saw: her doctor, who helped her to return her to her senses. This time, however, the feeling was mutual and the doctor proposed to Temacu at her bedside.

She has quite an unusual name. She explained to {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} that it was a combination of the first letters of the following {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}: {{p|Teddiursa}} "Te" (Japanese: ヒメグマ ''Himeguma'' "ヒ" ''"Hi"''), {{p|Mareep}} "ma" (Japanese: メリープ ''Merriep'' "メ" ''"me"''), and {{p|Cubone}} "cu" (Japanese: カラカラ ''Karakara'' "カ" ''"ka"''). She also gave Brock and James their own combination nicknames to match their respective personalities.

The mazes have a raised texture, allowing readers to follow along with their fingers rather than writing on the pages permanently, as with most activity books.

==Trivia==
* This book, as well as the [[Pokémon Maze Book No.2|next installment in the series]], is similar to the {{pkmn|manga}} series [[Pokémon Quiz Puzzle Land: Pikachu is a Famous Detective]]. Like this series, the manga also uses puzzles as a method of storytelling.

The '''Explorers''' (Japanese: '''エクスプローラーズ''' ''Explorers'') is a [[Villainous team|villainous organization]] led by [[Gibeon]], and the main antagonists of ''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]''. Initially, the Explorers were just a small group of adventurers formed only by [[Lucius]], Gibeon, and [[Rystal]], but were later reformed by Gibeon into a global organization for his personal use. The group has connections to Gibeon's company [[Exceed]], and uses its resources to conduct research on Laquium. Their goal is to reach the paradise [[Laqua]] and obtain a crystalline materium found there called [[Laquium]], for the benefit of [[Human|people]] and {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. To this end, they pursued Rystal's {{P|Terapagos}}, [[Pagogo]] and Lucius's [[party]], the [[Six Heroes]]. This led them to become the archenemies of the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]].

After Gibeon passed away in ''[[HZ089|Where the Adventure Leads]]'', [[Spinel]] took his place as the leader of the Explorers by force, using the positive reputation of Exceed in order to blame the Rising Volt Tacklers for his crimes instead while propping up the Explorers as a heroic organization. Under the new leadership, the organization's goal changed, now aiming to control the {{pkmn|world}} from the shadows. However, after Spinel was exposed for his crimes in [[HZ136]], [[Cervantis]] took leadership of the group.

==History==
===Pre-series===
[[File:The original Explorers.png|250px|left|thumb|The original Explorers: [[Rystal]], [[Lucius]], and [[Gibeon]]]]
100 years prior to the events of the {{aniseries|HZ|series}}, the Explorers team was founded by the three adventurers [[Lucius]], [[Gibeon]], and [[Rystal]] during their journey to reach the Pokémon paradise [[Laqua]]. After a long trip, the trio reached the paradise, a beautiful place where [[Legendary Pokémon]] lived peacefully. Wondering how such a prosperous environment was created, they explored further in and discovered some pink crystals known as [[Laquium]], which stimulated the growth of the plants around it, so much actually that it started devastating the land. Lucius and Rystal decided to leave Laqua, worried that the crystal could influence them. However, Gibeon disagreed and started using his [[White Zygarde]] to dig the crystals out, fascinated by their powers, but the crystals started to expand and spread its mist around, causing many [[wild Pokémon]] to go feral. Fearing they might bring the destruction of the [[Pokémon world|world]], Lucius sent his [[Six Heroes]] out, led by his [[Black Rayquaza]] to try and stop it. Even Zygarde attempted to help, betraying its trainer as a result, but their efforts only caused even more destruction and most of Zygarde's [[Zygarde Cell|Cells]] being blown away. The crystals' expansion suddenly created a fissure on the ground into which Gibeon fell in, presumed to be dead, but Lucius and Rystal still refused to give up. In response to their determination, Rystal's {{P|Terapagos}}, [[Pagogo]], absorbed the mist and transformed into its {{Form|Terapagos|Stellar Form}}, passed some of its power to the Six Heroes, and, alongside them, stopped the Laquium's expansion by sealing it within a giant energy barrier. Lucius remained trapped inside it, while the devastated Rystal was able to escape and raised her and Lucius's daughter, {{OBP|Layla|Horizons}}, on her own.

After the Explorers separated, the organization was reformed by Gibeon, who survived his fall thanks to the power of a Laquium shard he had with him. He now sought to return to Laqua and reclaim Laquium and use its powers to better the lives of people and Pokémon. To do so, he started seeking Pagogo and the Six Heroes so they'd undo the barrier the Laquium was sealed in. He used the little Laquium he had to expand his lifespan so he had more time to reach his goal. He later enlisted his son-in-law, [[Cervantis]], to help him fulfill his wishes; however his son-in-law failed him and "strayed" from the path, leaving the Explorers and being placed as a figurehead director of a company that Gibeon had founded to improve the lives of humans and Pokémon, including researching Laquium, [[Exceed]]. After Cervantis left the Explorers, his son, [[Amethio]], joined in to make up for his father's failings.

At some point following Gibeon's refoundation of the organization, [[Hamber]] joined the Explorers in gratefulness for Gibeon's guidance in his aimless time as an adventurer. He became Gibeon's second-in-command and family butler, and was assigned with recruiting and training new talent for the organization. He recruited and trained Amethio, [[Coral]], [[Sidian]], and [[Chalce]] in that order to serve as generals. At some point along the way, [[Spinel]], a researcher at Exceed with a brilliant profile, caught the eye of Gibeon for his talent, and Gibeon personally recruited him as a general. Eventually, Hamber approached [[Diana]], an old friend of his and unknowingly Lucius and Rystal's granddaughter, with an offer to join the organization under the pretext of introducing her to someone who could aid her adventures. However, this was actually an attempt to obtain her pendant, which was Pagogo's dormant form, but she refused to hand it over and escaped. After that, the Explorers decided to pursue the pendant until they found out that it was in the possession of Diana's granddaughter [[Liko]], at which point they decided to find her in order to take it. Eventually, they were able to find Liko attending [[Indigo Academy]] in the [[Kanto]] [[region]]. Upon discovering this, Hamber forged a letter under the guise of being written by Diana and ordered Amethio, alongside his two subordinates [[Zirc]] and [[Onia]], to visit Liko personally with the intention of having her hand over the pendant.

==={{aniseries|HZ}}===
[[File:Amethio HZ001.png|thumb|right|250px|[[Amethio]] battling [[Friede]] for the first time]]
The Explorers debuted in ''[[HZ001|The Pendant That Starts It All (Part One)]]''. One day, [[Amethio]] approached Liko at Indigo Academy's dormitories and, while under the guise of a representative of Diana, lied about being entasked to pick up the pendant in order to return it to her grandmother. Feeling something was amiss, Liko attempted to escape from him and his cohorts, [[Zirc]] and [[Onia]], but ended up cornered on a rooftop until [[Friede]] swooped in at the right time and engaged Amethio in a battle. Upon witnessing the collateral damage the battle was causing, Liko tried to run away and almost got hit by a stray {{m|Psycho Cut}} if not by her pendant suddenly generating an energy field in order to shield her, which Friede used as an opening to escape with her to the [[Brave Olivine]]. The Explorers, however, did not give up and [[HZ002|followed them to the airship]], even amidst a vicious thunderstorm. There, Friede and Amethio clashed again, albeit briefly, as this time, Liko stepped in, having her {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}} unleash a {{m|Leafage}} powerful enough to break the barrier around the battlefield and expose everyone to the unrelenting weather. This forced the Explorers to retreat, but not without taking the {{pkmn|category|Grass Cat Pokémon}} as a hostage.
[[File:Explorers Admins HZ006.png|left|250px|thumb|Gibeon communicating with the generals after Amethio's mission in [[Kanto]]]]
In ''[[HZ003|For Sure! 'Cause Sprigatito's with Me!]]'', Amethio battled against Friede once again; this time, however, the {{pkmn|Professor}} was just distracting him to allow Liko to find Sprigatito in the warehouse where they were hiding. While this was happening, Zirc managed to plant a tracker on Brave Olivine's hull. This allowed for the Explorers to follow the ship all the way to [[Roy's hometown|Roy's island]] via submarine, where both parties clashed once more in ''[[HZ005|Found You, Fuecoco!]]'' and ''[[HZ006|The Ancient Poké Ball]]''. As Liko's Sprigatito and [[Roy]]'s soon-to-be {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}} were being overwhelmed by [[Amethio's Ceruledge]], the girl's pendant synced with the boy's [[Ancient Poké Ball]], which finally opened up. From the artifact, emerged a mighty [[Black Rayquaza]], who indiscriminately rained devastation all over the beach with a singular {{m|Draco Meteor}}, forcing the Explorers to retreat. Later, during a meeting with the other Explorers' higher-ups, [[Gibeon]], the organization's leader, removed Amethio from the mission of collecting the pendant and assigned it to [[Spinel]]. Afterwards, Amethio communicated to Zirc and Onia that he was going to pursue the Black Rayquaza from now on, believing its connection with the pendant to hold the key to the mystery behind it.
[[File:Spinel confronts Friede.png|right|250px|thumb|[[Spinel]] confronting Friede in [[Paldea]]]]
In ''[[HZ012|The Future I Choose]]'', it was revealed that Spinel was spying on the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] during their time in [[Paldea]] in order to learn more about them. The knowledge he acquired was put to use over the following episodes, as he commenced his attack on them. First, in ''[[HZ013|An Unexpected Picnic!]]'', he positioned his fleet of {{p|Magneton}} around the Brave Olivine to create an electromagnetic interference to mess with the data array of the ship, rendering it powerless during a system reboot. After successfully scaring them away at the beginning of the [[HZ014|following episode]], Friede followed one of the Magneton all the way to [[Levincia]], where he was ambushed by it and Spinel's {{p|Beheeyem}}, which were being commanded from a distance by their {{pkmn|Trainer}}, seemingly in order to have his strength tested. The next day, Spinel created a false advertisement for some Spicy [[Herba Mystica]] to lure Liko into a back alley in Levincia. There, he had his Beheeyem put her on a trance with its psychic powers, allowing him to collect her pendant without any mishaps. Over the [[HZ015|next episode]], a dazed Liko was left wandering around the city while the Rising Volt Tacklers were caught in a web of misinformation laid out by Spinel, which pointed her whereabouts to [[Artazon]] instead. At the end of the day, with the collective efforts of Roy and [[Dot]], she was able to fully regain her memory.

In ''[[HZ016|Quaxly, We Can Do It]]'', Friede and the young Rising Volt Tacklers begun their counterattack to find the culprit and get the pendant back. The Professor went after a leaving cruise, where he was greeted and challenged by a [[Trainer (HZ016)|mysterious man]]—this, however, was one more red herring from Spinel. While this was happening, Dot and her {{TP|Dot|Quaxly}} managed to pinpoint the pendant's location to a docked cargo ship and alerted her friends. The three of them battled against Spinel's Magneton and Beheeyem and won, but were no match for his {{p|Umbreon}}. At that moment, backed up against a wall, Liko's feelings begun resonating with the pendant, which shone brightly and gave Spinel's hiding location away. After Sprigatito returned the item to her Trainer, the pendant activated again and released {{TP|Lucius|Arboliva}} of the Six Heroes from its Ancient Poké Ball. Then, the group grabbed hold of the {{pkmn|category|Olive Pokémon}}'s arms before it jumped overboard, leaving Spinel at the ship with the understanding that Liko herself is the key to the pendant's secrets.

In ''[[HZ021|The Lonely Hatenna]]'', Amethio, Zirc, and Onia arrived in [[Galar]] after tracking the Black Rayquaza to [[Galar Mine]]. In the [[HZ022|following episode]], their path once again crossed with the Rising Volt Tacklers': Amethio immediately engaged Friede in battle, while Zirc and Onia faced off against Roy, Liko, and [[Captain Pikachu]]. However, the battles came to a rather abrupt end when a {{rf|Galarian}} {{TP|Lucius|Moltres}} with an Ancient Poké Ball appeared and started attacking them. At the end of the [[HZ023|next episode]], it was revealed that the Explorers had witnessed the recapture of Moltres and Liko's pendant turning into a [[Pagogo|mysterious Pokémon]], with Amethio deciding to go after the Rising Volt Tacklers in order to steal it.
[[File:HZ044.png|thumb|left|250px|The Explorers using a machine to lure in the [[Black Rayquaza]]]]
In ''[[HZ024|Reunion at the Ancient Castle!]]'', Amethio, Zirc, and Onia reported their findings to Hamber, who quickly contacted other generals to head with him to the Galar region: he recruited [[Coral]] and [[Sidian]], as Spinel and [[Chalce]] were occupied in the Explorers' laboratory. Amethio's team followed Liko, Roy, and Friede to an [[ancient castle]] near [[Hammerlocke]], where they surrounded them in order to take the mysterious Pokémon away. The confrontation extended into the [[HZ025|following episode]] and ended up with Amethio's first official loss to Friede. Meanwhile, Hamber and his {{p|Dusknoir}} arrived at the place and confronted Diana, who questioned him about the Explorers' motives to target them. Then, a commotion provided by the arrival of Coral and Sidian allowed for her to escape the scene, as well as for Amethio's team to leave before being caught in the crossfire. The two generals cornered Liko and Roy, only for Captain Pikachu to arrive and rescue them, fending off her {{p|Glalie}} and his {{p|Garganacl}} at once. This, however, made Coral snap and recklessly order her Glalie to use {{m|Self-Destruct}}, allowing the Rising Volt Tacklers to escape and leaving the ancient castle in ruins.

In ''[[HZ027|As Long as I'm with My Friends]]'', while the Rising Volt Tacklers had been once again caught in false information spread by Spinel, the generals of the Explorers had a meeting to discuss their next move. They eventually concluded that the best course of action would be pursuing the Black Rayquaza itself instead of Terapagos in order to stay ahead. In ''[[HZ033|Roar of the Black Rayquaza]]'', Amethio's team detected the Black Rayquaza in the [[Lapras Sea]], and as such they immediately went after it. However, despite his best efforts, he lost very easily when trying to battle it. Amethio also witnessed Terapagos transforming into its {{form|Terapagos|Terastal Form}} as it conjured up its strength in order to protect Liko. In the [[HZ034|following episode]], after asking Hamber to train him in order to become stronger, they held a training match between their {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon, which ended up with a victory to Hamber after he {{Tera}}stallized his Dusknoir. Afterwards, he gave a [[Tera Orb]] to Amethio and set him in the direction of mastering the Terastal phenomenon in order to draw out its full power.
[[File:Explorers Admin HZ027.png|thumb|right|250px|The generals gathered to discuss their next steps]]
After Amethio's failure, Spinel came up with a new plan to catch the Black Rayquaza, aided by Coral, Sidian, and Chalce. Prior to ''[[HZ042|Transform! Hero of the Seas, Palafin]]'', the Explorers led the construction of a tower on an island near Levincia as part of the plan, which the Rising Volt Tacklers were made aware of in ''[[HZ043|A Challenge from the Explorers]]'' and started being enacted in ''[[HZ044|The Plan to Capture Rayquaza]]''. The tower itself was a red herring; its true purpose was to separate Friede from the rest of the group. The real plan involved attracting Rayquaza by simulating Terapagos's energy signature through a resonance generator, wearing it down by attacking it with powerful, super effective moves, and finally catching it in an [[Ultra Ball]]. The Rising Volt Tacklers managed to stall the Explorers for time enough to allow Dot to create a shutdown program and disable the resonance generator, allowing Rayquaza to free itself from the onslaught of attacks, Rayquaza then unleashed another Draco Meteor attack which ruined the Explorers' efforts. Once again, Coral let her temper overcome her better judgment and commanded Glalie to use Self-Destruct, which collided with Rayquaza's {{m|Dragon Pulse}}. The resulting explosion was powerful enough to blast the Legendary Pokémon directly into the hull of the Brave Olivine. In the [[HZ045|following episode]], the four generals retreated. As Liko, Roy, and Friede were battling against the Black Rayquaza, Amethio arrived at the scene and worked in conjunction with them. Despite his Ceruledge and [[Friede's Charizard]] having Terastallized, they ended up defeated by a single {{m|Dragon Ascent}}. At the end of the episode, the generals had another meeting and were instructed by Gibeon to stay low and wait for the Rising Volt Tacklers to gather the Six Heroes for them, but to still keep their eyes on them for the time being. Gibeon then claimed that his and Lucius's adventure was not over yet as his {{p|Zygarde}} watched.
[[File:Spinel Exceed.png|left|thumb|250px|Spinel as an [[Exceed]] scientist after stealing [[Exceed]]'s [[Laquium|Treasure of Eternity]]]]
In ''[[HZ046|Welcome to Naranja Academy!]]'', [[Chalce]] is shown to be undercover at [[Naranja Academy]] as a teacher named "Chive" and forged enrollment papers for [[Coral]] and [[Sidian]] as students under the fake names of "Cornbread" and "Seasoning", so they can also help her with their unknown, undercover mission at the school. In the [[HZ047|following episode]], Cornbread attempted to challenge [[Katy]] for her [[Tera Training]], but she lost to [[Liko]] in a cake-baking contest and was disqualified. At some point, Cornbread and Seasoning were approved in the Tera Training after battling [[Kofu]] and [[Tulip]], respectively. In ''[[HZ050|Trending Terastallization! Dance, Dance, Quaxly!]]'', Cornbread and Seasoning were briefly noticed by director [[Clavell]] while they were watching Liko, Roy, and Dot making their way to Dot's battle against [[Iono]].

In ''[[HZ054|The Treasure of Eternity]]'', while [[Friede]] was investigating about the [[Laquium|Treasure of Eternity]] in the [[Exceed]] company that he once worked in, [[Spinel]] made his efforts useless and stole the piece of Treasure of Eternity, which in reality was a piece of Laquium. In the same episode, Hamber and Amethio had a face to face meeting with Gibeon, revealing he's Amethio's grandfather. Gibeon explained that they needed more Laquium and that Terapagos's "awakening" was the key to Laqua. Amethio also claimed he's nothing like his father, who failed the organization in the past. Amethio then got a report from Zirc and Onia who were spying on Spinel, resulting in Amethio intending on finding out what Spinel was up to.
[[File:Cornbread and Seasoning.png|thumb|right|250px|[[Coral]] and [[Sidian]] in their "Cornbread" and "Seasoning" disguises]]
In ''[[HZ055|Showdown! The Paldea Elite Four]]'', Cornbread battled [[Larry]] alongside Kofu while Seasoning battled [[Rika]] alongside Tulip, but they were both defeated.

In ''[[HZ064|The Approaching Shadow!]]'', Amethio tracked Spinel down to [[Glaseado Mountain]]. Aware he was being followed, Spinel lured Amethio away into an encounter with Liko, which led to a battle between the two. Just as it seemed that Amethio would win, Spinel interrupted the battle to test the Laquium on his {{p|Umbreon}}, turning it feral and much stronger. This angered Terapagos, who used its Terastal Form to destroy the Laquium shard and purify Umbreon of its effects. Noting he had acquired the results he was looking for, Spinel fled while Liko and Amethio chased after him. Unbeknownst to Liko and Amethio, Spinel was luring them into a trap and left them stranded inside a nearby cave. Elsewhere on the mountain, Coral and Sidian shedded their school disguises in order to stall Roy and Dot and prevent them from helping Liko. Aftewards, he told Chalce of Amethio's relationship with Gibeon, and that if they were to have a future, they would need to get him out of the way. Chalce agreed with his reasoning and began to collude with him, beginning the start of a schism in the organization.

In ''[[HZ065|Liko and Amethio]]'', when [[Grusha]] came to assist Roy and Dot, Coral and Sidian were ordered by Chalce to retreat. Later, at the Explorers headquarters, Spinel showed his allies footage of Amethio and Liko working together to escape the cave he trapped them in, framing it as an act of betrayal. Despite attempting to explain himself, Gibeon coldly refused to listen to Amethio and relieved him of all duties.
[[File:HZ083.png|250px|thumb|left|Amethio, [[Zirc]], and [[Onia]] decide to go to [[Laqua]] on their own]]
In ''[[HZ066|Infiltrating the System! Naranja Academy in Danger!]]'', the Explorers infiltrated Naranja Academy to steal information regarding Terapagos. Chalce had Sidian and Coral stand guard against interference while she worked on stealing the data. [[Penny]] found out about this and informed Dot and her friends to stop them. Sidian battled against Liko but was defeated despite Terastallizing his Garganacl which caused him to retreat. Coral, meanwhile, was defeated by Roy and was forced to retreat by Sidian much to her anger. Despite interference from Dot's Pokémon and Penny counter-hacking her attempts, Chalce was still able to steal the data about Terapagos before fleeing by teleporting with her {{p|Xatu}}.

In ''[[HZ067|Shine on, Terastallization! Liko vs. Roy!]]'', Chalce brought the data to Spinel, who began to study it in earnest. She also informed him that Hamber had asked her about the information, but she refused to divulge anything to him, leaving Spinel pleased.
[[File:Explorers Rising Volt Tacklers Laqua.png|thumb|right|250px|The Explorers encountering Liko, Roy, and Dot in Laqua]]
In ''[[HZ079|Over the Top!]]'', Hamber ordered Coral and Sidian to follow the Rising Volt Tacklers to [[Area Zero]]. In [[HZ080|the next episode]], Coral separated from Sidian as they watched the group, met, and accidentally caught a {{p|Scream Tail}}, which she [[nickname]]d "Screamypuff" (オニプリン ''Onipurin''). In [[HZ081|the next one]], they both witnessed the battle between the Rising Volt Tacklers and [[Lucius's Gouging Fire]] and then the summoning of the remaining of the Six Heroes, Rayquaza. In ''[[HZ082|Beyond the Shining Rainbow]]'', after watching the Rising Volt Tacklers gain Rayquaza, Coral and Sidian left Area Zero to report their findings. After reporting their [[HZ083|findings]], Gibeon told everyone to prepare to head for Laqua. Meanwhile, Amethio and his allies intended to find out what Spinel was up to, but got caught. Fortunately, Hamber rescued them and informed of Gibeon's past with Lucius. After hearing this information, Amethio and his allies decided to head for Laqua in order to protect his grandfather.

In ''[[HZ084|Where the Land Meets the Sky]]'', Chalce spotted Friede talking to Liko, Roy, and Dot through the phone and returned to Exceed to tell the other Explorers about the Rising Volt Tacklers' presence there. In ''[[HZ085|The Pokémon Paradise of Laqua!]]'', Spinel confronted Friede while Coral, Sidian, and Chalce confronted Liko, Roy, and Dot after Pagogo removed the barrier around the Laquium. In [[HZ086|the next episode]], the four generals battled Friede and the younger members, which led to their defeat, but they bought Gibeon enough time to reach the Laquium.
[[File:Spinel Exceed President.png|250px|thumb|left|Spinel as the new leader of the Explorers]]
In ''[[HZ087|Guided by the Black Rayquaza!]]'', Amethio attempted to warn Gibeon about Spinel's apparent betrayal, only to have his concerns dismissed. Gibeon ordered Zygarde to mine a large cluster of Laquium, but it shattered, revealing a still-living Lucius inside. Lucius explained that Zygarde asked Rayquaza to find Trainers capable of gathering the Six Heroes and restoring Pagogo to full strength in order to destroy the Laquium. Angered, Gibeon summoned the generals, who used machines to activate the Laquium core and make it grow uncontrollably. After convincing Zygarde to fight by his side, Gibeon confronted Amethio and the younger Rising Volt Tacklers to keep them from thwarting him.

In ''[[HZ088|The Earthshaking White Zygarde]]'', Gibeon commanded Zygarde in a ferocious battle against Liko, Roy, Dot and Amethio. Zygarde's immense power eventually overwhelmed Roy and Dot, but with clever use of teamwork, Liko's newly-evolved {{tp|Liko|Meowscarada}} was able to hit Zygarde with aid from Amethio's {{tp|Amethio|Ceruledge}}. Convinced by Liko and the others' strength, Zygarde forfeited the battle before breaking down into its component Cells and abandoning Gibeon. Devastated, Gibeon questioned how he was yet again foiled by someone of Lucius's bloodline before Lucius and Amethio explained it was the bond between Liko, her friends, and their Pokémon that led them to victory.
[[File:HZ095.png|thumb|right|250px|Coral and Sidian using [[Strong Sphere]]s as part of [[Exceed]]'s demonstration]]
In ''[[HZ089|Where the Adventure Leads]]'', after Gibeon passed away due to the purification of the Laquium core, Spinel took over as the new leader of the organization. He also occupied Laqua for the Explorers and used his Laquium Sphere to drive the Six Heroes (except Rayquaza) berserk, causing the six of them to fight each other and inflict great destruction to the paradise. As seen in ''[[HZ091|Eyes to the Skies Once Again (Part Two)]]'', in the aftermath of these events, the Explorers captured the rampaging heroes, holding them captive and dormant in their base. At some point, Amethio was separated from Zirc and Onia and went missing. Even though Spinel made a report claiming that he had betrayed the Explorers and perished in Laqua with Gibeon, Cervantis and Hamber did not believe it. A year after those events, Spinel reformed the Explorers, casting the group as a heroic organization to the public and putting the blame of the destruction in Laqua on the Rising Volt Tacklers instead. In ''[[HZ092|Following Traces of Laquium]]'', Hamber tasked Zirc and Onia to find Amethio and gather Gibeon's former [[Zygarde Cell]]s without letting Spinel know of their actions, giving them one of the Cells and a [[Zygarde Cube]] to help them in their task.

In ''[[HZ095|The Strong Sphere]]'', the Explorers were revealed to be creating [[Strong Sphere]]s, devices for Trainers to imbue their Pokémon with Laquium mist. Coral and Sidian were tasked with advertising the product, using it against Liko and Roy in a [[Double Battle]]. The Laquium-infused Pokémon easily defeated them without much input, causing it to be well received, as the public was unaware of the connection between the Strong Spheres and the phenomenon afflicting wild Pokémon.

In ''[[HZ099|Orla, Grounded]]'', a pair of Explorers members named [[Indi]] and [[Rubina]] debuted. They, along with two Exceed employees, were sent to pick up an order of Strong Sphere outer shells made by [[Karna]], only to be stopped by [[Ult]]. The employees tried to convince Karna of Exceed's good intentions, but after Liko and the others informed her of the truth, she angrily refused to work with them anymore. Indi and Rubina stepped in with the intention of taking the shells Karna made, only to realize that Liko and her friends were the Trainers who repeatedly got in the Explorers' way. They both sent out a {{rf|Paldean}} {{p|Tauros}} and used them to challenge Liko's group, using the Strong Spheres to boost their Pokémon. In the [[HZ100|next episode]], despite their use of Laquium, Liko's group managed to defeat the Explorers after exploiting a weakness in Laquium, forcing them to retreat. Indi and Rubina retreated alongside Exceed, reporting their failure to Spinel, who excused them and vowed to take down the Rising Volt Tacklers again.

In ''[[HZ101|Terastallization vs. Mega Evolution!]]'', Zirc and Onia continued their task of locating Amethio, being out at sea, though they had little success in objective. In ''[[HZ103|Nidothing Love!]]'', Zirc and Onia told Liko that Amethio was missing and asked for her help personally to find him.
[[File:Indi and Rubina.png|250px|thumb|left|Indi and Rubina stopping Roy and [[Ult]]]]
In ''[[HZ104|Charcadet's Wish]]'', after paying a visit to Amethio's mansion, Liko, Zirc and Onia, with help from [[Liko's Charcadet]] and Cervantis, found Amethio but in hiding to avoid being captured by Spinel's agents on an island off the coast of Levincia where he first met Ceruledge as a {{p|Charcadet}} which was their only family vacation years ago. Zirc and Onia begged Amethio to take Exceed and the Explorers back from Spinel, but he refused, stating that with Gibeon's passing, he was powerless to do anything. With words of encouragement from Liko and a battle with her Charcadet, Amethio managed to regain the resolve to fight against Spinel's machinations. Despite this, Amethio refused to go with Zirc and Onia, stating that as members of the Explorers, there were things they could accomplish on the inside that he couldn't. Accepting this, Zirc passed on the Zygarde Cube to Amethio before leaving the island with Onia. Afterward, Zirc and Onia reported to Hamber that Amethio was safe and sound, though Hamber was unaware that Chalce was monitoring him.

In ''[[HZ106|The Dusk Ball That Wouldn't Open]]'', Indi and Rubina attempted to trade with {{OBP|Ryan|HZ106}}, who had stolen Ult's [[Dusk Ball]] in order to exchange it for a Strong Sphere. Ult interrupted the transaction and a battle quickly occurred, with the two Explorers sending out a Unovan and Galarian {{p|Darmanitan}}. Though they had the upper hand due to Ryan's {{p|Grafaiai}} being inexperienced, the tide quickly turned against them when the Dusk Ball reacted to Ult's feelings, revealing a {{p|Dragonite}} that easily overwhelmed both Darmanitan, forcing them to retreat. In the [[HZ107|following episode]], they met with Spinel, who quickly discovered Ult eavesdropping on them and had him taken into custody, though his {{p|Sableye}} was able to escape and discovered Roy. While observing him, Chalce expressed concern about Spinel's hastiness, but he told her that Amethio's return had complicated matters. Roy later found and freed Ult, only for Indi and Rubina to quickly discover them and result in another battle. This time, they were assisted by four {{p|Rabsca}} that were emitting {{m|Gravity}}, getting the upper hand, even against Dragonite. Ult's resolve to protect the ones he cared resulted in the discovery of his Dragonite being able to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]], and Mega Dragonite easily defeated the enemies, while Roy and his Mega {{p|Lucario}} defeated Indi and Rubina, taking advantage of the opening to escape.
[[File:Super Strong Sphere Six Heroes.png|250px|thumb|right|Five of the [[Six Heroes]] under the Explorers' control]]
In ''[[HZ108|Taking the Next Steps]]'', the Rising Volt Tacklers decided to contact Amethio's father, Cervantis, for information about the Six Heroes. Cervantes agreed to do so, though the message was intercepted by the Explorers.

In ''[[HZ109|Tinkatuff's Hammer Wasn't Made in a Year!]]'', Coral and Sidian were continuing to promote the Strong Spheres in [[Galar]] when they attempted to get some leisure time after one such event. However, they were swarmed by their fans, though a [[Manager (HZ109)|manager]] arrived and took them away. The manager revealed to the two that they were told to head to an unknown location in Paldea, hiring a Galarian Cabbie to do so. The cabbie initially refused until seeing Coral, and when Coral refused to go, the manager forced her inside. On the way, they were knocked down by a Tinkatuff, which was shortly followed up by Dot and her Pokémon. Although Sidian wished to head to their destination, Coral refused and battled Dot. Tinkatuff was able to forge a new hammer from Corviknight's feathers, evolving into {{p|Tinkaton}} and sending Glalie flying away with a {{m|Brutal Swing}}, prompting the two generals to chase after it. Meanwhile, Indi and Rubina confronted Liko, Roy and Ult at the warehouse instead of Cervantis.

In ''[[HZ110|The Six Heroes Unleashed!]]'', Indi and Rubina with three other agents used the Super Strong Sphere on five of the Six Heroes to battle Liko, Roy, and Ult, as this was Spinel's plan to take down the Rising Volt Tacklers by using their allies against them. In the [[HZ111|next episode]], despite the Heroes knocking out most of Liko, Roy, Ult, and Amethio's Pokémon with help from Coral and Sidian, they ended up retreating after the effects of the Super Strong Spheres worn off on the five Pokémon.

In [[HZ124]], the Explorers were confronted by the younger members of the Rising Volt Tacklers and Amethio in an attempt to rescue the remaining Six Heroes. However, Spinel planned for it as he set up a trap for them when they get inside their HQ. In the [[HZ125|next episode]], the Explorers lose the remaining Six Heroes when the younger members and Amethio free them from their control. After the battle, Indi and Rubina informed Spinel that the recordings were complete, leaving him satisfied despite losing the Six Heroes as he pulled up a screen. At the same time, Chalce rolled her eyes, appearing to disapprove of his methods, while Coral and Sidian started doubting the Strong Sphere. Spinel would later use the recordings to frame the Rising Volt Tacklers again, claiming that they had broken into their facility and stole the remaining Six Heroes that were being cared by them. This was also Spinel's plan to force the Rising Volt Tacklers to go into hiding and promoting the Strong Sphere.

In [[HZ130]], the Explorers released the Strong Spheres to the general public. Chalce informed Spinel that Naranja Academy had banned their usage, which he attributed to the Rising Volt Tacklers. Worried about their cooperation with Amethio, Spinel ordered Chalce, Coral, and Sidian to go on a night patrol around Mount Pericarp, reassuring her that he would fulfill her wish. During the patrol, they were confronted by Hamber, who asked them to rebel against Spinel, explaining that the Strong Spheres would destroy the bond between them and their Pokémon. They refused to listen and battled him. Hamber revealed his third Pokémon, [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Ursaluna|Bloodmoon]] {{p|Ursaluna}}, which defeated Glalie and Garganacl. Chalce used Mega Evolution on her Medicham to defeat the Pokémon. As Chalce ordered agents to apprehend him, Ursaluna created a cloud of dust, allowing Hamber to escape. Deeming him no longer a threat, they resumed their patrol, while Hamber, hidden nearby, felt he had done all he could and left the rest to Amethio.

In [[HZ133]], the Explorers got word from Spinel that the Rising Volt Tacklers have return to Laqua with their allies, as he send the agents to stop them. Indi and Rubina reveal during their battle against Dot, {{an|Nemona}}, and [[Penny]] that they're aware of the Rising Volt Tacklers' plan that requires all of the 18 Tera Types. Through Hamber's help, Indi and Rubina were defeated as they retreated in order to get ready for the next stage of their plan. Meanwhile, Coral, Sidian and Chalce had a three on three battle against Roy, Ult and Friede, in which the former two admitted their dislike of the Strong Spheres, with all three ultimately losing the battle in the [[HZ134|following episode]]. Seeing Liko, Diana, and [[Ann]] with Amethio, Onia, and Zirc, Spinel had his upgraded Laquium-activating machine cause the wild Pokémon who still lived in Laqua go berserk. Through the group's efforts, the Laquium-activating machine were destroyed with Zygarde, Zirc, and Onia taking the wild Pokémon somewhere safe. After the Rising Volt Tacklers and their allies regroup, Spinel with Indi and Rubina make their appearances.

In [[HZ135]], Spinel ordered Indy and Rubina to stop the Rising Volt Tacklers, being able to take down Penny's {{p|Sylveon}}, seemingly stopping their plan. At this point, the other three generals arrived, with Chalce realizing that Spinel had no intentions of honoring her request while Sidian stated that the Strong Spheres had no future with Pokémon. Coral had her Scream Tail substitute Sylveon. Admitting that he had not trusted them either and disappointed that they didn't agree with his views, Spinel voluntarily merged himself with the core, reinforcing its resistance from the purification attempt.

In [[HZ136]], the Rising Volt Tacklers were able to force Spinel out of the core. Desperate to keep it intact, he forced Umbreon to fight Liko and her Meowscarada, only to be beaten and the core purified. Spinel tried to recall Umbreon, but she had lost all trust in him and abandoned him, leading to him chasing after her in vain. In the aftermath, the truth was exposed and Spinel was jailed for his crimes, while Cervantis took leadership of the Explorers and regained control of Exceed. Coral and Sidian remained with the organization, while Hamber and Chalce left, the former going on a journey with Diana and the latter resuming her teaching career.

==Notable members==
===Main members===
This is the list of the main Explorers members up to the most recent Japanese episode:

====Modern Explorers====
This is the list of the Explorers members after the organization was reformed by Gibeon in the modern era. As of ''[[HZ089|Where the Adventure Leads]]'', with Spinel's rise to leadership of the Explorers, some new members of the organization were introduced in the [[animated series]].

In ''[[HZ104|Charcadet's Wish]]'', two unnamed members of the organization were shown hunting Amethio during the year-long period that passed during ''[[HZ089|Where the Adventure Leads]]'', which indicates that there are more members of the Explorers than those shown in the series. In ''[[HZ110|The Six Heroes Unleashed!]]'', another group of Explorers agents appeared, this time working under [[Indi]] and [[Rubina]]'s orders. In ''[[HZ122|Roy vs. Friede: Wings of Fire!]]'', several Explorers agents were seen guarding Laqua and mining Laquium crystals. While in [[HZ124]], several Explorers agents, both male and female, confronted the Rising Volt Tacklers and Amethio when they stormed the HQ.

==Technology==
===Gadgets===
*In ''[[HZ002|The Pendant That Starts It All (Part Two)]]'', [[Amethio]], [[Onia]], and [[Zirc]] used their watches to change from their disguises into their uniforms. [[Coral]] used hers in ''[[HZ043|A Challenge from the Explorers]]'' to change from her uniform to civilian clothing and back. Both she and [[Sidian]] used theirs in ''[[HZ064|The Approaching Shadow!]]'' to change from their academy uniform disguises into their uniforms. Chalce used hers in ''[[HZ066|Infiltrating the System! Naranja Academy in Danger!]]'' to change from her teacher disguise into her uniform.
*In ''[[HZ003|For Sure! 'Cause Sprigatito's with Me!]]'', Zirc planted a tracker in the husk of the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]]' airship. It was later found and destroyed by {{TP|Dot|Quaxly}} in ''[[HZ006|The Ancient Poké Ball]]''.
*In ''[[HZ014|Fly! Wattrel!!]]'', [[Spinel]] communicated with his Pokémon using a small transceiver attached to them. He also used the transceivers in ''[[HZ016|Quaxly, We Can Do It]]'' to communicate with [[Liko]], [[Roy]], and [[Dot]].
* In ''Fly! Wattrel!!'' and ''Quaxly, We Can Do It'', Spinel also used an unknown device to see through his Pokémon's eyes. In ''[[HZ065|Liko and Amethio]]'', Spinel used that same device to record Amethio helping [[Liko]] out a cave.
* In ''[[HZ111|Better, Farther, Stronger!]]'', the Explorers commanded by [[Indi]] and [[Rubina]] used several drones to create laser containers for use in moving the five members of the [[Six Heroes]] they possessed.

===Vehicles===
*In ''[[HZ004|The Treasure After the Storm!]]'', [[Amethio]] contacted [[Hamber]] from a submarine. This submarine later made further appearances as Amethio, [[Zirc]] and [[Onia]]'s method of transportation around the world.
*In ''[[HZ014|Fly! Wattrel!!]]'' and ''[[HZ016|Quaxly, We Can Do It]]'', Spinel is seen commanding his Pokémon against [[Friede]] and later [[Liko]], [[Roy]], and [[Dot]] from a van outfitted with high-tech surveillance equipment. This van made further appearances as Spinel's base of operations.
*In ''[[HZ025|Rivals in the Dark of Night!]]'', Hamber, [[Sidian]], and [[Coral]] traveled to [[Galar]] using an Explorers helicopter. It also used in ''[[HZ079|Over the Top!]]'' for Sidian and Coral to sneak into [[Area Zero]].
* In ''[[HZ110|The Six Heroes Unleashed!]]'' and ''[[HZ111|Better, Farther, Stronger!]]'', [[Indi]] and [[Rubina]] used a group of Explorers-branded trucks to transport the dormant members of the [[Six Heroes]] under their custody.

===Other===
* In ''[[HZ006|The Ancient Poké Ball]]'' and several subsequent episodes, the Explorers leadership are shown using virtual reality technology to attend meetings at the organization's headquarters. This technology projected holograms of them into the headquarters' meeting chamber, where they could conduct their business as if they were physically in the room. [[Gibeon]], the Explorers' first leader, used similar technology to speak to his subordinates through a holographic monolith projected into the meeting room.
* In ''[[HZ044|The Plan to Capture Rayquaza]]'', the Explorers used a resonance generator that could transmit energy at long distances. After observing [[Pagogo|Terapagos]] using his equipment, Spinel was able to recreate Terapagos's energy signature on the resonance generator to attract the [[Black Rayquaza]]. It was later deactivated by [[Dot]] and then destroyed by Rayquaza.
* In ''[[HZ083|The Truth Revealed!]]'', while looking through Spinel's computer at Exceed, Amethio uncovered documents for a prototype of device called [[Strong Sphere|Laquium Sphere]]. In ''[[HZ089|Where the Adventure Leads]]'', using the Laquium Sphere, Spinel infected all but one of the Six Heroes with Laquium mist, making them go completly berserk.
* In ''[[HZ087|Guided by the Black Rayquaza!]]'', Gibeon was revealed to have a strange device on his suit that can turn [[Laquium]] crystals into mist that is injected into his body through a tube connected to the back of his head. This allows Gibeon to use Laquium to heal his poor health, even allowing him to walk. The device disappeared as Gibeon faded away due to the destruction of Laquium.
* In ''Guided by the Black Rayquaza!'', the Explorers used three machines capable of producing miniature earthquakes in order to stimulate the ground and force the Laquium to grow and expand out of the ground so they can obtain it. They were powered by [[Spinel]]'s {{p|Magnezone}}'s electricity. They were all later destroyed by the rampaging Six Heroes. In [[HZ134]], five of these machines are located around a chunk of Laquium and used to activate it and spread its pink mist around [[Laqua]] and [[Mount Pericarp]].
* In ''[[HZ091|Eyes to the Skies Once Again (Part Two)]]'', it is revealed that the Explorers captured and placed the Six Heroes, except Rayquaza, as prisoners in pink, energy barriers, which keeps them dormant.
* In ''[[HZ095|The Strong Sphere]]'', [[Sidian]] and [[Coral]] used [[Strong Sphere]]s, smaller versions of Laquium Sphere, during a battle against [[Liko]] and [[Roy]]. In ''[[HZ110|The Six Heroes Unleashed!]]'', a group of Explorers led by [[Indi]] and [[Rubina]] revealed upgraded Strong Spheres named Super Strong Spheres, and used them to confront the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]].

'''Steven Stone''' (Japanese: '''ツワブキ・ダイゴ''' ''Daigo Tsuwabuki'') is a recurring character in {{aniseries|PTS}} and a minor character in {{aniseries|HZ}}. He is the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the [[Hoenn]] [[region]]'s [[Hoenn League|Pokémon League]].

In {{aniseries|JN}}, Steven is revealed to be one of the top eight [[Pokémon Trainer]]s in the {{pkmn|world}} within the [[World Coronation Series]].

==In animation==
===''Pokémon the Series''===
====History====
====={{aniseries|RS}}=====
[[File:Steven Stone anime AG.png|thumb|left|200px|Steven in {{aniseries|RS}}]]
In ''[[AG017|Stairway to Devon]]'', Steven was first mentioned by [[Mr. Stone|his father]], who claimed he would be a good person for {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} to know.

In ''[[AG021|Which Wurmple's Which?]]'', [[Nurse Joy]] informed [[Max]] that Steven was in nearby [[Granite Cave]], so the group began their search for him.

He then debuted in ''[[AG022|A Hole Lotta Trouble]]''. Unlike his game counterpart, Steven was not mentioned to be or have been the [[Hoenn League]] {{pkmn|Champion}}, but was simply a powerful {{pkmn|Trainer}}. Instead, [[Wallace]] was said to be the Champion later in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''. Steven and his {{p|Aron}} were digging in Granite Cave, looking for rare stones. As Ash, his friends, and {{TRT}} fell down a hole, Steven ended his excavation and quickly checked out what caused the crash to occur. Steven first found Max, {{AP|Pikachu}}, and {{MTR}} wandering around the cave.

Having been in Granite Cave for several months, Steven escorted Max and the others to a crack in the cave floor. Soon enough they spotted Ash and the others, who were being chased by a horde of agitated Aron. He ordered them to rush over to the nearby waterfall. At the meeting spot, Steven had his own Aron use {{m|Roar}} to calm the agitated horde. He then told the horde that the group were good people and ordered them back to their roosts. After both sides were reunited with each other, Steven found out that Team Rocket were the ones who caused the Aron to get angry. Steven handled Team Rocket on his own by having his {{p|Aggron}} blast them off with a {{m|Hyper Beam}}. Afterwards, Steven found a [[Fire Stone]] with the help of Aron. He decided to lead the group out of Granite Cave and took them to a deserted inlet, an ideal place for Ash to train for his [[rematch]] with [[Brawly]]. Having found a rare stone, Steven boarded his small boat to continue his search for other stones and wished the group luck for the future.

=====[[Mega Evolution Specials]]=====
[[File:Steven Stone anime XY.png|thumb|230px|Steven in ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]'']]
Steven reappeared in ''[[XYS02|Mega Evolution Special II]]'', where he battled [[Alain]] using his {{Shiny}} [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{TP|Steven|Metagross}}, but the battle was interrupted by [[Lysandre]]. Deciding to cooperate with Alain and company, Steven traveled to their destination, a small temple with two pillars in the center. When Alain and Steven held their [[Key Stone]]s to the monument, a staircase of light appeared to lead them further within the ancient ruin. There, they discovered a similar mechanism that summoned a glowing [[Giant Rock]] from underneath the ruin. After Lysandre and his research team began analyzing the giant stone, a {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (XY series)|Rayquaza}} appeared from the sky, Mega Evolved into Mega Rayquaza, and started wreaking havoc on the surrounding area. Alain, Steven, and their Mega Pokémon partners tried to fend off the Legendary Pokémon, but were overwhelmed.
[[File:Steven and Alain.png|thumb|250px|left|Steven and Alain]]
In this [[series]], Steven was confirmed to be the current Champion of the Hoenn League, indicating that Wallace no longer holds the title. In ''[[XYS03|Mega Evolution Special III]]'', Steven brought Alain and [[Mairin]] to the [[Devon Corporation]] headquarters to analyze the situation of the missing Giant Rock. There, they received a conference call from Lysandre, who informed them that both {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (XY series)|Groudon}} and {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (XY series)|Kyogre}} have undergone [[Primal Reversion]] and were set to collide in the middle of the ocean. Steven recalled the Primal Reversion myth, and feared that the two Pokémon clashing again could have catastrophic consequences. As a result, he and Alain departed on a plane to check on the situation from the sky, with Mairin secretly stowing away with them.

In ''[[XYS04|Mega Evolution Special IV]]'', he, Mairin, and [[Chespie]] returned to [[Kalos]]. They contacted {{an|Professor Sycamore}} regarding Alain as he separated from them. Later, they arrived at [[Lysandre Labs]] with Lysandre and his secretary waiting for them. While Lysandre's secretary escorted Mairin to watch Alain battle ten Trainers, Steven and Lysandre discussed the Giant Rock. Lysandre showed Steven the Giant Rock in another room and explained that it is kept in a high-security tank to prevent energy from leaking out, as well as bringing up the fact that the [[super-ancient Pokémon]] fought in [[Hoenn]] previously. Steven was then seen watching the battle between Alain and [[Malva]]. After the battle, Steven arrived to where Chespie was lying on a bed, unconscious from absorbing too much energy from an experiment.

====={{aniseries|XY}}=====
[[File:Steven and Sawyer.png|thumb|250px|Steven and Sawyer]]
Steven reappeared in the main series in a flashback in ''[[XY075|Rivals: Today and Tomorrow!]]'', where he met [[Sawyer]]. He also appeared in another flashback in ''[[XY133|Coming Apart at the Dreams!]]''.

From ''[[XY134|The Right Hero for the Right Job!]]'' to ''[[XY136|Forming a More Perfect Union!]]'', Steven joined the battle against [[Team Flare]]. He eventually battled alongside Ash, Alain, [[Diantha]], and all of Kalos's [[Gym Leader]]s during the joint effort to stop the [[Giant Rock]].

In ''[[XY138|The First Day of the Rest of Your Life!]]'', Sawyer revealed that he received his [[Key Stone]] from Steven. Later, in ''[[XY140|Till We Compete Again!]]'', Steven and Sawyer were shown at Lysandre Labs, studying the Giant Rock that was recently held there. He proceeded to give Sawyer some information, which Sawyer promptly wrote down in his notebook.

====={{aniseries|JN}}=====
[[File:Steven Stone JN.png|250px|thumb|left|Steven in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'']]
Steven appeared in a fantasy in ''[[JN105|Reuniting for the First Time!]]'', when {{Ash}} mentioned him to [[Wallace]].

In ''[[JN109|Aim For The Eight!]]'', Steven was revealed to be in the Master Class of the [[World Coronation Series]], being ranked third.

Steven appeared in a fantasy in ''[[JN114|Friends, Rivals, Lend Me Your Spirit!]]'', when [[Goh]] mentioned him to [[Paul]].
[[File:Ash and Steven.png|thumb|250px|Steven and Ash]]
In ''[[JN115|Curtain Up! Fight the Fights!]]'', Steven participated in the [[Masters Eight Tournament]], along with the rest of the Masters Eight, reuniting with Ash, Alain, and Diantha, and meeting {{an|Iris}} and the other regional Champions. When it was revealed that Ash would be his first opponent, Steven revealed that he would finally have the chance to battle him. When asked by {{an|Lance}} if he knew Alain, Steven replied that he knew him through the Key Stones excavations and also revealed that he hoped Alain would not be overwhelmed by {{an|Leon}} in the very first match of the tournament.

After watching the other battles in the [[JN116|following]] [[JN117|episodes]], Steven and Ash began their battle. In ''[[JN118|Battling as Hard as Stone!]]'', Steven was able to hold his own against Ash, but was defeated by the [[Alola]] Champion, making him the fourth person to be eliminated from the tournament. Following his loss, Steven wished Ash good luck for the remainder of the competition and returned to Hoenn.

In ''[[JN129|A Flood of Torrential Gains!]]'', Steven watched Ash's match against Leon.
{{-}}

====Character====
Similar to his game counterpart, Steven is reserved and interested in collecting [[Evolution stone|stones]]. During ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'', he did care for the {{p|Aron}} in the [[Granite Cave]] and attempted to stop a herd of them from chasing {{Ash}}, {{ashfr}}, and {{TRT}}. He battled Team Rocket after discovering that they were the ones who made the Aron horde angry.

During {{aniseries|XY}}, he became more open to Trainers, such as [[Alain]] and [[Mairin]]. He is seen as a sort of mentor figure by [[Sawyer]], whom Steven gave a [[Key Stone]] and [[Sceptilite]]. His usual calm, and a bit playful demeanor is constantly reflected throughout the series, such as during his battles against Alain and [[Mable]]; nevertheless, he can be serious when the situation demands. In a particular instance, he was not greatly disappointed or enraged after learning [[Lysandre]]'s true intentions, displaying his happy-go-lucky personality.

Being the gentle and playful person that he is, he was not worried when he and his {{TP|Steven|Metagross}} were outnumbered by Mable and {{tc|Team Flare Grunt}}s during their battle, also reflecting his strong bond and great confidence in his Pokémon. He tends to appreciate others for their efforts, and has a great sense of honor for fellow [[Pokémon Champion|Champion]]s, as displayed during his interactions with [[Diantha]], {{an|Cynthia}}, and {{an|Leon}}.

In ''[[HZ122|Roy vs. Friede: Wings of Fire!]]'', [[Friede]] revealed that, after the events of ''[[HZ089|Where the Adventure Leads]]'', he collected some samples of [[Laqua]]'s soil and took it to [[Hoenn]]'s [[Devon Corporation]], where he met with Steven, who then analyzed the samples and confirmed his suspicious about Laqua being formed by a meteor strike.

===History===
[[File:Young Roy.png|250px|left|thumb|Young Roy]]
====Pre-series====
Roy grew up on an [[Roy's hometown|island]] in the [[Kanto]] region with his [[Roy's parents|parents]] and [[Roy's grandfather|grandfather]]. During his childhood, Roy would travel with his parents on a cargo ship and his grandfather would tell the story of an [[Lucius|Ancient Adventurer]], which inspired him to become a [[Pokémon Trainer]]. Sometime later, Roy was left under his grandfather's care when his parents went traveling on their own for business, as he received an [[Ancient Poké Ball]] from his grandfather and decided to undercover the mystery of it. Also, Roy would sing to himself until a group of [[wild Pokémon]] heard him and followed him.

===={{aniseries|HZ}}====
Roy debuted in ''[[HZ003|For Sure! 'Cause Sprigatito's with Me!]]''. In the morning after [[HZ002|a storm]], he ran to the beach, where he found the flag missing from the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]]' [[Brave Olivine|airship]].

In ''[[HZ004|The Treasure After the Storm!]]'', it was revealed that Roy attends virtual school and that he couldn't catch a Pokémon because there were no Pokémon Trainers on the island. After noticing that his [[Secret Base]] had been raided, Roy came across a {{p|Fuecoco}} and befriended him. Soon, they heard a commotion nearby and ran towards it to find [[Liko]] and {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}} running from a group of wild Pokémon. Despite their best efforts to escape, however, they were cornered and tied up by multiple {{m|String Shot}}s until [[Friede]] came to their rescue. Afterwards, Roy and Fuecoco parted ways.

Wanting to meet Fuecoco again, Roy [[HZ005|snuck on the Brave Olivine]], but he got zapped by [[Captain Pikachu]], waking up everyone on the aircraft in the process. Roy wanted Fuecoco to be his partner, but Friede told him that Fuecoco had to reciprocate those feelings as well. He and Liko searched all over the Brave Olivine, and while they weren't able to find Fuecoco that night, Roy decided to leave him some [[Oran Berry|Oran Berries]]. In the next day, Roy stumbled upon an agitated Fuecoco, who told him that there was trouble brewing at the Brave Olivine. At the beach, Roy partnered with Fuecoco to {{pkmn|battle}} against [[Zirc]] and his {{p|Rhydon}}. By chanting alongside the {{pkmn|category|Fire Croc Pokémon}}, Roy helped Fuecoco to successfully fire off an {{m|Ember}}.
[[File:Roy RVT.png|thumb|250px|Roy joining the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]]]]
In ''[[HZ006|The Ancient Poké Ball]]'', Roy battled against [[Amethio]] for the first time and, even alongside Liko, was quickly overwhelmed by his strength. When {{TP|Amethio|Ceruledge}} was about to finish off Fuecoco and Sprigatito, Roy's Ancient Poké Ball started to shine brightly and released a {{Shiny|Black}} [[Black Rayquaza|Rayquaza]], who fired a {{m|Draco Meteor}} that forced the [[Explorers]] to retreat and flew away. Later that day, Roy opened his heart to Fuecoco, confessing that he wanted him to be his partner. Fuecoco reciprocated those feelings and spat out a {{i|Poké Ball}} that Friede's {{TP|Friede|Charizard}} gave him, allowing Roy to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} him. After stating he wanted to realize both his and {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}}'s dreams, his grandfather allowed him to go out on his [[Pokémon journey]] with the Rising Volt Tacklers.

In ''[[HZ007|Special Training with Cap!]]'', Liko and Roy had a sparring battle, which ended with both of their Pokémon just exhausting themselves. After a training session with Captain Pikachu, they had another battle, which went much better. Although Roy ended up losing, he wasn't dejected, and promised to battle Liko again later.

In ''[[HZ009|Welcome to Paldea!]]'', the Rising Volt Tacklers landed in [[Paldea]]. In [[HZ010|the following episode]], Roy and Liko visited [[Artazon]] to meet [[Gym Leader]] [[Brassius]], who had supposedly seen the Black Rayquaza. Brassius eventually admitted this to have been the case, with the encounter having left him in an artistic slump, as he felt his Rayquaza statue was not as good as the real thing. Roy, however, thought Brassius's statue looked just as good as the actual Rayquaza. After hearing how Rayquaza had been the inspiration behind his journey, Brassius challenged Roy to a battle to see if he was worthy of facing Rayquaza. During the battle, Brassius told Roy to remember to keep an eye on his own Pokémon, allowing Roy to spot that Fuecoco had just learned {{m|Stomping Tantrum}}. Despite this new [[move]], however, Fuecoco was still defeated after Brassius {{Tera}}stallized his {{p|Sudowoodo}}, ending the match in Roy's loss. After the battle, Roy expressed interest in getting to try out using the Terastal phenomenon himself. After learning that Brassius saw the Black Rayquaza flying over [[Arboliva's Forest]], Roy and Liko decided to make it their next destination.

In ''[[HZ011|Arboliva's Forest]]'', {{an|Nemona}} led Roy and Liko to Arboliva's Forest, only to find part of it burned down after a lightning strike started a wildfire. While searching the area, Roy came across a {{pkmn2|giant}} {{TP|Lucius|Arboliva}} with an Ancient Poké Ball. Mistakenly assuming the pair were trying to harm the Pokémon living in the forest, Arboliva began attacking Roy and Liko. While Roy and Liko kept Arboliva distracted, [[Mollie]] treated an injured {{rf|Paldean}} {{p|Wooper}}, calming Arboliva down. In the [[HZ012|following episode]], the Rising Volt Tacklers held a successful group effort to replant the damaged part of the forest. Liko's pendant briefly transformed into a mysterious Pokémon just before Arboliva returned to its Ancient Poké Ball.
[[File:Roy and Wattrel.png|thumb|250px|left|Roy catches {{TP|Roy|Wattrel}} as his second Pokémon]]
In ''[[HZ013|An Unexpected Picnic!]]'', a {{p|Wattrel}} stole a [[sandwich]] that Roy had made for Fuecoco. Roy chased after Wattrel, until it reached a cliff, where it turned around to face Fuecoco. After a brief confrontation, Roy agreed to share the sandwich, only for Wattrel to steal both halves of it. Soon after, Roy noticed that Wattrel wasn't flying away with others of its kind. In the [[HZ014|next episode]], Roy sought Wattrel out again in order to help it learn to fly. Wattrel's fear of heights made this hard, so Roy eventually got the idea of using [[Ludlow]]'s [[fishing]] rod to support Wattrel mid-air while it attempted to fly. This strategy eventually succeeded, allowing Wattrel to fly as high as the others of its kind. Happy to see Wattrel flying, Roy was about to leave, only for Wattrel to fly after him. Taking this as a sign that Wattrel wanted to be caught by Roy, [[Murdock]] gave him a Poké Ball to do so. When a sudden gust of wind threw Wattrel off-balance, Roy threw the Poké Ball at it before it could hit the ground, saving it and adding it to his [[party|team]].
[[File:Liko Roy Dot Paldean first partners.png|thumb|250px|Roy, [[Liko]], and [[Dot]] battling the [[Explorers]]]]
In ''[[HZ015|Someone We Can't See! Whosawhatsit?]]'', Roy was informed that Liko went missing while shopping, so he and the Rising Volt Tacklers went looking for her. However, Roy wandered off when his Wattrel ran to chase after a {{p|Corvisquire}} until they went to [[Levincia]]. After meeting up with Friede, Roy met [[Dot]] for the first time and went looking for Liko, being able to find her. Roy was then informed that Liko had her pendant stolen and they agreed to get it back. In the [[HZ016|next episode]], Roy and his friends found [[Spinel]], the one who stole the object, and then battled him. After Liko got her pendant back, Roy and his friends made their escape thanks to Arboliva.

In ''[[HZ017|Special Training Time!]]'', Roy decided to train his Pokémon in teamwork in the hopes of helping his Fuecoco and Wattrel get along better, due to their constant arguing. Roy asked Captain Pikachu to battle them, which he accepted. However, due to Fuecoco and Wattrel's lack of teamwork, Roy lost the match. The boy then decided to train his Pokémon and was able to get them to work together. Next, he asked Cap for a [[rematch]] but, although Fuecoco and Wattrel's teamwork improved, Roy lost to Cap again.

In the [[HZ018|next episode]], Roy and his friends got curious as to how Captain Pikachu was able to fly during his battle against him. Although they asked Friede for answers, they couldn't get the information they wanted. However, Roy and his friends refused to give up and they decided to ask the rest of the members, but couldn't get an answer from them either. Despite this, Roy and his friends' curiosity did get the rest of the members curious as well. Eventually, [[Orla]] was able to convince Friede into telling them as to how he met Captain Pikachu and the formation of the Rising Volt Tacklers.

In ''[[HZ020|Kabu's Battle Training!]]'', Roy arrived at [[Motostoke Stadium]] with Liko in order to get some information about the Black Rayquaza from [[Motostoke]] Gym Leader [[Kabu]], due to him being from [[Hoenn]]. However, Roy and Liko received some training from Kabu before having a [[Multi Battle]] against him. Despite Fuecoco learning {{m|Flamethrower}}, Roy lost to Kabu while Liko forfeited because she felt bad for her opponent, {{OBP|Wakaba|HZ020}}. After the battle, Roy and Liko found out from Kabu that the Black Rayquaza was at the [[Galar Mine]].

In ''[[HZ022|Charge! Galar Mine!]]'', Roy, Liko, and Friede arrived at the Galar Mine, but the former two got separated from Friede. While trying to find the Black Rayquaza, the two encountered the Explorers again in the process. During the battle, Roy and Liko met a {{rf|Galarian}} {{TP|Lucius|Moltres}} that had an Ancient Poké Ball, which got him to realize that it was one of Lucius's Pokémon. Unfortunately, they were forced to retreat when Moltres proved to be too strong and Captain Pikachu was injured as they left the mine. In the [[HZ023|next episode]], Roy and Liko arrived at the [[Pokémon Center]] in Motostoke where they reunited with Friede and agreed to battle Moltres again. After finding Moltres again at the Galar Mine, Roy battled the [[Legendary Pokémon]] again in order to calm it down. After Moltres calmed down, Roy witnessed the Legendary Pokémon return to its Ancient Poké Ball, as Liko took it under her care.

In ''[[HZ024|Reunion at the Ancient Castle!]]'', Roy, Liko, and Friede arrived at [[Hammerlocke]] in order to find an [[ancient castle]] that [[Diana]], Liko's grandmother, was at. Through her {{p|Squawkabilly}}, Roy and his friends were able to find her. They hung out at the castle until the Explorers, who have been following them, arrived at their location. In the [[HZ025|next episode]], Roy and Liko tried to escape the Explorers, but were forced to battle Zirc and [[Onia]], which was interrupted by the arrival of [[Coral]] and [[Sidian]]. After the rest of the Rising Volt Tacklers arrived, Roy and his friends were able to escape from the Explorers.

In ''[[HZ031|Song Within the Mist]]'', Roy joined his friends and Ludlow in finding a {{TP|Lucius|Lapras}}, who happened to be one of Lucius's Pokémon, after they got a lead from a ship crew that saw the Transport Pokémon. Fortunately, Roy, Liko, Dot, and Ludlow were able to find Lapras, but they failed to get it to come out, as it was covered by the {{m|Mist}} and two Pokémon appeared on the ship. When Friede devised a plan to get Lapras back, Roy and Liko stayed on the deck to wait for the Transport Pokémon. Thanks to Friede and Captain Pikachu, the two saw Lapras with battle scars and other various Pokémon on a {{p|Wailord}}, who also had scars as well. In the [[HZ032|next episode]], Roy joined Liko and Friede in going after Lapras and, after convincing it that they were friends, the Transport Pokémon returned to its Ancient Poké Ball and Liko took it under her care. However, before setting off, Roy and his friends witnessed the Black Rayquaza arriving at their location.

In ''[[HZ033|Roar of the Black Rayquaza]]'', Roy attempted to battle the Black Rayquaza, but couldn't because Amethio arrived to battle it and {{an|Terapagos}} {{a|Tera Shift|transformed}} in order to protect its friends. However, after Terapagos collapsed and the Black Rayquaza left, Roy was depressed that he didn't get to battle the Legendary Pokémon. Fortunately, after doing a training battle with Liko against Diana, Roy cheered up and understood that he had a long way to go in order to battle the Black Rayquaza. In the [[HZ034|next episode]], Roy and Liko overheard Diana's intentions to continue traveling alone. They decided to organize a surprise farewell party for her. Through the help of their teammates, Roy and Liko surprised Diana with the party, which she appreciated. Once they bid farewell to Diana, the Rising Volt Tacklers resumed their search for the remaining [[Six Heroes]]. However, Roy was informed by Friede that they were heading to Paldea first in order to gain information on Terapagos.

In ''[[HZ037|Fuecoco…Becomes a Crook?!]]'', the Rising Volt Tacklers took on a job to deal with a group of {{p|Sandile}}, {{p|Krokorok}}, and {{p|Krookodile}} that were disturbing some {{OBP|archeologists|HZ037}}. Roy and Fuecoco eventually found the group and quickly befriended them upon learning they were a family trying to protect their {{pkmn|Egg}}s. When the archeologists' digging equipment disturbed the young Sandile, Krookodile and the Krokorok went on a rampage in order to destroy the machinery. By learning {{m|Disarming Voice}}, Fuecoco managed to calm its new friends down. Afterward, once the situation was explained to both parties, Krookodile and its family agreed to work alongside the archeologists.

In ''[[HZ042|Transform! Hero of the Seas, Palafin]]'', the Rising Volt Tacklers successfully returned to Paldea. In the [[HZ043|following episode]], Roy and Liko were challenged to a battle by Coral and Sidian, respectively. Fuecoco struggled to land any hits on Coral's {{p|Glalie}} due to it freezing the battlefield, but upon noticing Fuecoco's growing frustration, Roy commanded it to use Stomping Tantrum, creating an ice fence that sent Glalie flying. Impressed by her opponents' determination, Coral decided to stop holding back, only to be forcibly pulled away by Sidian for a mission involving the Black Rayquaza.

In ''[[HZ044|The Plan to Capture Rayquaza]]'', Coral, Sidian, and [[Chalce]] used a machine capable of recreating Terapagos's energy to summon the Black Rayquaza. While Dot worked on a shutdown program for the machine, Roy and Liko used their Pokémon to keep the Explorers distracted. Their efforts worked, but after Dot shut the machine down, Coral lost her temper and commanded her Glalie to use {{m|Self-Destruct}}. The attack collided with Rayquaza's {{m|Dragon Pulse}}, creating an explosion powerful enough to blast the Sky High Pokémon directly into the hull of the Brave Olivine.
[[File:Roy and Nemona.png|left|250px|thumb|Roy and {{an|Nemona}}]]
In ''[[HZ045|From So Far Away]]'', the ship was safely docked while the Explorers retreated, realizing their operation was a failure. Hoping to convey Terapagos's desire to reach [[Laqua]], Roy, Liko, Friede, and Dot challenged Rayquaza to a battle, which it readily accepted. Amethio later joined the fray and teamed up with Friede, with them Terastallizing Ceruledge and Charizard, respectively, but both were eventually defeated by a devastating {{m|Dragon Ascent}}. Roy and Liko confronted Rayquaza next, but despite Fuecoco learning {{m|Flame Charge}} and Sprigatito [[Evolution|evolving]] into {{TP|Liko|Floragato}}, they were unable to do much against the Sky High Pokémon. After Rayquaza took off, the Rising Volt Tacklers regrouped. While the Brave Olivine underwent repairs, Roy, Liko, and Dot decided to become stronger by learning how to use the Terastal phenomenon as well.

In ''[[HZ046|Welcome to Naranja Academy!]]'', Roy, Liko, and Dot were enrolled in [[Naranja Academy]] as part of the [[Tera Training]] course. They each received a [[Tera Orb]] and were tasked with battling the Paldea [[Gym Leader]]s as part of their Tera Training. To Roy's excitement, Brassius was chosen as his opponent. Roy also met [[Ann]], Liko's friend from [[Indigo Academy]]. After watching Liko and Ann battle, Roy and his friends set off for Liko's battle against [[Katy]] in [[Cortondo]].

In ''[[HZ048|Sparkle! The Glow of Fire and Art!]]'', Roy, Liko, and Dot arrived in Artazon. Roy's basic aptitude test was temporarily postponed due to the town having its annual [[Artazon Art Festival]]. In the meantime, Roy faced Nemona in a battle, but was defeated. Frustrated, Roy asked to rematch Nemona, only for Brassius to suggest Roy participate in the festival in order to realize why he lost. Together, Roy and Fuecoco made a clay Charizard sculpture capable of breathing fire provided by Fuecoco's Flamethrower. This allowed Roy to realize he was failing to utilize any opportunity and resources in battles, impressing Brassius as a result. During his rematch with Brassius, Roy properly used strategies to see through Brassius's tactics, then defeated him after Terastallizing Fuecoco for the first time.

In ''[[HZ052|Wattrel's High Wind Warning!]]'', while looking for wild Pokémon to make a research report on, Roy noticed that Wattrel still struggled to fly properly in strong winds. That night, Roy and Fuecoco found that Wattrel had left their tent to go train in secret. The three also encountered [[Ryme]], a Trainer Roy bonded with over their shared love of music. The following morning, Roy found a wild {{p|Capsakid}} had gotten stuck on a cliff. Remembering the words of encouragement Ryme gave it earlier, Wattrel worked up the courage to fly down and save the Capsakid despite the strong winds blowing in the area. When Roy slipped and fell off the ledge he was standing on, Wattrel immediately rushed in to save its Trainer, evolving into {{p|Kilowattrel}} in the process.
[[File:Roy and Brassius.png|250px|thumb|Roy and [[Brassius]]]]
In ''[[HZ055|Showdown! The Paldea Elite Four]]'', Roy, Liko, and Dot participated in the [[Elite Four Tag Battle]] alongside the respective Gym Leaders they battled in their basic aptitude tests. Roy and Fuecoco teamed up with Brassius and his {{p|Dolliv}} to battle [[Hassel]]'s {{p|Baxcalibur}} and {{p|Flapple}}. Although both Trainers creatively combined their Pokémon's moves in a variety of ways, Fuecoco and Dolliv were eventually taken out by a {{a|Thermal Exchange}}-boosted {{m|Glaive Rush}} from Baxcalibur. Despite the loss, Roy promised Nemona that he would keep improving as a Trainer so he could one day face her in another battle.

In ''[[HZ057|The Terapagos I Don't Know]]'', Roy, Liko, Dot, and Friede met with [[Clavell]] and [[Geeta]], hoping to learn more about Terapagos from them. Although they didn't have much knowledge on the subject, Clavell and Geeta revealed that a sketch in the [[Scarlet Book]] depicted a third form of Terapagos. Later, Roy and the others met another teacher, [[Raifort]], who provided them with some information on Laqua. Afterward, the students were each assigned a second Gym Leader to face as part of the implementation tests. Roy was paired with Ryme in [[Montenevera]], but the group decided to head to [[Medali]] first for Dot's battle against [[Larry]].

In ''[[HZ061|Resonating Spirits in a Challenge to Ryme!]]'', Roy and his friends arrived in Montenevera, where they reunited with Nemona. After defeating [[MC Sledge]] and his {{p|Sableye}}, Roy faced Ryme in a rap battle, where he impressed the Gym Leader with his skills. In the Terastal battle, Roy sent out Kilowattrel against Ryme's Houndstone, but it was quickly defeated. He then switched it out for Fuecoco, who managed to take out Houndstone after being encouraged by their song. When Ryme switched in her {{p|Toxtricity}}, it used its moves and {{a|Punk Rock}} [[Ability]] to negate all of Fuecoco's attacks. Backed into a corner, Roy Terastallized Fuecoco, but they were unable to launch a single attack before Toxtricity defeated them. Ryme scolded Roy for failing to utilize Fuecoco's strengths properly, failed him, and told Roy to challenge her again at a later time.

In ''[[HZ062|A New Song for Fuecoco]]'', Roy and Fuecoco participated in Nemona's [[Hyper Training]] session to prepare for their rematch with Ryme. While taking a break, Roy explained to the others how his love of singing came from the songs he and his parents sung together before they left on a long voyage together. Once their training had finished, Roy returned to Ryme and faced her in another battle. With a new song they created together, Roy and Fuecoco fared much better against Toxtricity, even forcing Ryme to Terastallize it. Eventually, Toxtricity was taken out by Fuecoco's Tera-boosted Flamethrower, giving Roy the victory and a passing grade on his exam. Afterward, Roy admitted that his and Fuecoco's song isn't for making them stronger in battle, it symbolizes the bond he and Fuecoco share. Ryme congratulated Roy on his victory, but noted how it's up to him whether or not Fuecoco reaches its full potential.
[[File:HZ067.png|250px|left|thumb|Roy battling Liko in the [[Tera Training Student Battle Tournament]]]]
In ''[[HZ066|Infiltrating the System! Naranja Academy in Danger!]]'', Roy, Liko, and Dot returned to the Naranja Academy, where Nemona informed them of the upcoming [[Tera Training Student Battle Tournament]] to celebrate the end of the Tera Training course. Roy was then informed by Dot that the Explorers were trying to hack into the academy's systems to steal information on Terapagos. After splitting up, Roy found Coral and challenged her. Roy soon took the fight outside the classroom, to prevent the destruction of the students' artworks, while Coral followed in pursuit. After a clash of power between Fuecoco's Flamethrower and Glalie's {{m|Blizzard}}, the boy encouraged his Partner Pokémon, who ultimately outclassed his opponent and defeated Glalie, forcing Coral to retreat in anger. Later, after reuniting with Liko and Dot, the three were informed by [[Dendra]] that both Roy and Liko [[HZ067|are set to battle each other next]]. After a couple of switches, both Kilowattrel and {{TP|Liko|Hattrem}} were down, leaving only their first partner Pokémon remaining. Encouraged by the collective chanting of his Trainer, [[Ryme]], and the crowd, Fuecoco evolved into {{TP|Roy|Crocalor}}. Then, Roy and Liko both Terastallized their Pokémon, but Crocalor prevailed and defeated Floragato, making Roy the winner.

Following the end of the Tera Training course, Roy, Liko, and Dot reunited with the rest of the Rising Volt Tacklers in ''[[HZ068|Into a New Sky! The Brave Olivine!]]''. After Liko received Lucius's belt back from Friede, Roy was challenged by Lucius's Moltres, who wanted to test his strength as a Trainer at the end of his Tera Training. After exchanging a couple of attacks, Roy Terastallized Crocalor and had him use an enhanced Flame Charge, which Moltres withstood, but still seemed content with their growth before returning to its Poké Ball soon after.

Before they left Naranja Academy, [[Raifort]] informed them about [[Briar]], a Terapagos researcher currently stationed in the land of [[Kitakami]], so the Rising Volt Tacklers decided to head there next. Roy, Liko, Dot, and Friede arrived at the [[Crystal Pool]] in ''[[HZ071|Encounters at the Crystal Pool]]'', where Briar was at, according to [[Carmine]]. After calming a wild Terastallized {{p|Milotic}} down, Liko's group and Briar discussed about Terapagos, its forms, and its connection to [[Area Zero]]. Once night fell, Briar suggested using the Crystal Pool's special properties and Terapagos's memories about Lucius to summon him and find some answers, but nothing happened. Afterward, they bid farewell to Briar and returned to the Brave Olivine, without any leads regarding Terapagos or the Six Heroes until Dot ran into [[Perrin]], a photographer who snapped a [[photo]] of [[Lucius's Kleavor]] in [[Tengu Mountain]], though she couldn't remember the exact place.

Roy, Liko Dot, Friede, and Perrin arrived in Tengu Mountain in ''[[HZ072|The Search for Kleavor!]]''. Roy ended up separated from the others after he and Crocalor fell into an underground cave, but they managed to find their way out and counted on Kilowattrel to take them up the mountain. Eventually, the group reunited near a {{p|Dugtrio}}-shaped rock, where Dot identified Perrin's photo had been taken. In the [[HZ073|following episode]], once Roy and the others successfully tracked Kleavor down, Lapras emerged from her Poké Ball to greet her old friend. Liko and Lapras asked Kleavor to join them on their quest, to which it responded by entering a nearby cave. Roy, Liko, and Dot traversed the cave, eventually finding Kleavor waiting for them inside a bamboo grove. Realizing Kleavor aimed to test their might, Roy and the others accepted its challenge and sent out their Pokémon to face it. After a long battle over various terrains, Kleavor emerged victorious over Roy, Liko, and Dot's Terastallized Pokémon. Despite their loss, Kleavor acknowledged Roy and the others' strength and returned to its Ancient Poké Ball.
[[File:OPJ32 Rotom Photo HZ083.png|thumb|right|170px|The Rising Volt Tacklers battling the [[Black Rayquaza]] again]]
After following leads from [[Wy-Yes]] and [[Siskel]], the Rising Volt Tacklers found what was presumed to be Lucius's {{p|Entei}} in ''[[HZ078|Entei's Fierce Battle Cry!]]'', in an archipelago off the [[Olivine City]] coast. Although they failed to defeat it, Entei still recognized their strength, but was revealed to be a [[wild Pokémon]] unrelated to the Six Heroes.

The Rising Volt Tacklers' search for Lucius's Entei led them to Paldea's {{pal|Pokémon League}} building in ''[[HZ079|Over the Top!]]'', after Briar notified them about recent sightings of an Entei in Area Zero. In order for Roy, Liko, and Dot to be granted access to the area, they were tasked with defeating Geeta's Pokémon, consisting of a {{p|Glimmora}} and two {{p|Glimmet}}, in a battle. In the end, only Floragato and Glimmora remained, with Liko's Pokémon barely managing to win thanks to {{a|Overgrow}} activating. Having been granted permission, the children searched around Area Zero for Entei alongside Friede and Briar until it decided to appear before them in ''[[HZ081|The Pillar of Fire]]'', revealing itself to actually be a {{TP|Lucius|Gouging Fire}}. Eventually, after an intense battle, the Rising Volt Tacklers earned Gouging Fire's trust. In the [[HZ082|following episode]], the children and Friede battled once more against the Black Rayquaza after it had been summoned to Area Zero by the other heroes. Despite putting up a tough fight, Rayquaza was still able to endure their assault and retaliate, leaving only Roy's Crocalor and Pagogo, in its {{form|Terapagos|Terastal Form}}, standing. After being hit by a Dragon Ascent, Pagogo chose to share its [[Terastal energy]] with Crocalor, allowing it to Terastallize and weaken Rayquaza enough for it to go inside its Ancient Poké Ball. Having achieved his goal of catching Rayquaza, Roy decided to have the Legendary Pokémon acknowledge him to be worthy of being its Trainer.

With the Six Heroes gathered, the Rising Volt Tacklers headed towards Laqua, guided by Rayquaza. Roy, Liko, Dot, and Friede finally arrived there in ''[[HZ085|The Pokémon Paradise of Laqua!]]'' and were ambushed by the Explorers, who were following them for a while. Once again, Roy faced off against Coral, this time against her {{p|Scream Tail}}, and managed to win without resorting to Terastallization even when his opponent did it. When Zirc and Onia arrived in ''[[HZ087|Guided by the Black Rayquaza!]]'', the young Rising Volt Tacklers were able to proceed to Laqua's previously sealed off area, where they discovered that Lucius was still alive. While Pagogo and Six Heroes gathered power to purify Laqua of [[Laquium]], the children, alongside Amethio, Terastallized their main Pokémon in preparation for a showdown against [[Gibeon]] and the [[White Zygarde]]. The battle begun in the [[HZ088|following episode]] and was initially very one-sided, with the Order Pokémon being so powerful that they weren't able to deal notable damage even when exploiting a weakness. With a {{m|Land's Wrath}} attack, Zygarde defeated Crocalor and Quaxwell, and left Floragato and Ceruledge on their last legs. Once Floragato evolved into {{TP|Liko|Meowscarada}} and managed to knock Zygarde down, the Legendary Pokémon forfeited the battle, revealing it was actually testing the strength and resolve of Liko and her friends all along, before disassembling and abandoning Gibeon due to his actions.
[[File:Roy changing his look.png|thumb|250px|left|Roy changing his look]]
In ''[[HZ089|Where the Adventure Leads]]'', after Pagogo, in its Stellar Form, purified Laqua with the help of the Six Heroes, Roy witnessed Lucius fading away. Though the situation seemed over, Spinel used some Laquium mist he had stored on the Six Heroes, causing them to go berserk, except for Rayquaza. The rampaging heroes began attacking both friend and foe, causing the earth below everyone to become unstable and collapse. Rayquaza shielded Roy and the others with its body before urging them to flee the area. With Roy's Kilowattrel and Friede's Charizard, the group was able to reach the Brave Olivine, but soon faced a heavy loss when Friede and his Charizard were blown off by the heavy winds, leaving their fate unknown.

Roy and the others eventually returned to Mount Pericarp to look for Friede, only to find that [[Exceed]] had the area blocked off. With Spinel framing Laqua's destruction on the Rising Volt Tacklers, the group decided to lay low and go their separate ways, dropping him back to Kanto. In the year following these events, Roy took custody of Captain Pikachu and somehow caught a {{Shiny|yellow}} {{TP|Roy|Lucario}} in his travels. In that same year, Roy [[HZ112|met]] and [[HZ113|trained]] [[HZ114|alongside]] [[Ult]] in [[Kalos]], which led to both becoming [[Rival|rivals]], acquiring [[Mega Ring]]s, and mastering [[Mega Evolution]].

[[HZ090|One year after]] ''Where the Adventure Leads'', Roy received a message from Dot informing him about Laquium effects still existing worldwide. Roy and his rival Ult both battled and defeated a Laquium-enhanced wild {{p|Slaking}} with their respective Pokémon, after which Roy left his rival behind to meet with Liko at [[Indigo Academy]]. Roy then showed up at Indigo Academy, [[HZ091|meeting up]] with Liko for the first time in a year. He then battled and defeated both Ann and Liko. After that, Liko then decided to join Roy and Dot in exposing the truth about the events at Laqua and clearing the Rising Volt Tacklers' name.

In ''[[HZ095|The Strong Sphere]]'', Roy and Liko went to an Exceed facility after their battle with a Laquium-enhanced {{p|Vileplume}} in the [[HZ094|last episode]], figuring it might have something to do with its Laquium infection. Roy and Liko then battled Coral and Sidian, only to be defeated by their Laquium-enhanced opponents before either of them could Terastallize their Partner Pokémon. Afterwards, both Trainers were saved by Ult, who managed to hold the Explorers off and help them escape after Coral recklessly commanded Glalie to use Self-Destruct. Roy and Liko, now joined by Ult, then proceeded on traveling to a new destination ahead.
[[File:Ann Vs Roy HZ091.png|thumb|right|250px|Roy battling Ann]]
In ''[[HZ099|Orla, Grounded]]'', Roy and the others visited Orla at [[Karna]]'s [[Karna's Poké Ball factory|Poké Ball factory]]. While trying to convince Orla to aid them, Dot and the group find out through Ult that Karna had been hired to manufacture shells for the Strong Spheres, oblivious to what they truly were. Two Exceed employees came to pick up their order, but when Ult denied them, the Explorers members [[Indi]] and [[Rubina]] stepped in to take them by force. In the [[HZ100|following episode]], Roy, Ult, Dot, and Liko teamed up to battle Indi and Rubina's Laquium-enhanced {{rf|Paldean}} {{p|Tauros}}. By exploiting a weakness caused by the Laquium's effect, Roy and the others emerged victorious, forcing Indi and Rubina to retreat.

Later, after Orla had been convinced to fly on the airship once again, Roy and the others pitched in to help clean and repair the Brave Olivine. Once they were done, Mollie, Murdock, and Ludlow arrived to join as well. To everyone else's surprise, Ult proudly stated he would be joining the Rising Volt Tacklers as their newest member. As they prepared to take off, Dot discovered a message from Friede revealing to everyone that he was alive and well, but was in hiding from the Explorers.

In ''[[HZ101|Terastallization vs. Mega Evolution!]]'', Roy, Liko, Dot, and Ult met with Geeta and Clavell at Naranja Academy to discuss Laquium and how Exceed was exploiting its power for their own gain. They then talked about the same subject with [[Jacq]], who promised to do his own investigation on how Laquium affects Pokémon. Later, after reuniting with Nemona, Roy faced her in a [[Double Battle]], using Crocalor and Lucario against Nemona's {{p|Pawmot}} and {{p|Ribombee}}. During the climax of the battle, Roy Mega Evolved his Lucario and Nemona Terastallized her Pawmot into a {{T|Fighting}}-type, which ended the battle in a final clash between the two and the in the latter's defeat, resulting in Roy's victory.

In ''[[HZ110|The Six Heroes Unleashed!]]'', Roy joined Liko and Ult in facing off against the Explorers once again, who empowered five of the Six Heroes with Super Strong Spheres which made them go berserk. Roy's Pokémon struggled to deal significant damage to the Six Heroes. After Pagogo was defeated, Roy and his friends had to face off against the berserk Six Heroes once again. In the [[HZ111|next episode]], Roy and his friends continued struggling against the rampaging heroes. Despite the timely assistance by Amethio and Zygarde, the battle still resulted in a complete defeat for the Rising Volt Tacklers. Exhausted, the effects of the Super Strong Spheres wore off on the Six Heroes, whose unconscious bodies were taken away by the Explorers. After bidding farewell to Amethio, [[Hamber]], and [[Cervantis]], Roy and the others received a call from Briar, who suggested that they come meet her at [[Blueberry Academy]]. Realizing that Blueberry Academy is a school that specializes in Pokémon battling, Roy and his friends decided it would be the perfect location to train for their next encounter with the Explorers, as Liko revealed to them that their friend Ann is there as an exchange student.

In ''[[HZ115|Welcome to Blueberry Academy!]]'', Roy and his friends arrived at Blueberry Academy where he reunites with Ann and Nemona. Roy then has a Double Battle with Nemona. However, despite his efforts, Roy losses to Nemona. In the [[HZ116|next episode]], Roy started his training with one of the BB Elite 4 members, [[Drayton]], by doing some Blueberry quests. The "training" turned out to be false when [[Lacey]] discovered Drayton had tricked Roy into doing his quests for him. After Drayton heard Roy battled with Hassel, whom his grandfather was associated with, he began to train Roy seriously with a Double Battle. While Roy's Pokémon held their own, once Drayton used {{m|Rain Dance}} to his advantage, Crocalor and Kilowattrel were defeated easily, causing Roy to lose. After this loss, Drayton told Roy he should be more calm and less tense in battle, after which Roy and Crocalor chose to laze around next to a {{p|Slakoth}} in the [[Terarium]] to get an idea of what Drayton meant.

In ''[[HZ119|Don't Give Up, Crocalor!]]'', Roy and Drayton had their rematch, with Crocalor and Kilowattrel facing off against {{p|Kingdra}} and {{p|Archaludon}} once again. This time Roy was more calm and composed, trusting his Pokémon better and using better strategies to counter his oppnent's weather tactics. Soon Kingdra was defeated with a combined attack, only for Archaludon to attack Crocalor, resulting in Kilowattrel protecting its teammate and getting knocked out afterwards. With Kilowattrel's defeat, Crocalor clashed with Archaludon, with Roy cheering him on, which resulted in his evolution into {{p|Skeledirge}}. After Roy and Drayton Terastallized their respective Pokémon, Skeledirge defeated Archaludon by powering through its Draco Meteor attack with Flamethrower, winning Roy the rematch. Roy thanked Drayton for his training, and Liko congratulated Roy on his victory.

In ''[[HZ122|Roy vs. Friede: Wings of Fire!]]'', Roy and Skeledirge battled against Friede's Charizard for the first time. Thanks to a newly learned {{m|Torch Song}}, Skeledirge eventually managed to defeat Charizard.
[[File:Roy and Rayquaza.png|thumb|left|250px|Roy after battling the Black Rayquaza]]
In [[HZ124]], Roy and his friends infiltrated the Explorers HQ to rescue the remaining Six Heroes. Roy and Ult went up the roof but were caught by the grunts and battled them. After defeating them, Roy and Ult meet up with the girls and Amethio, as Dot was able to get them in by hacking the door. Roy and his friends then snuck into the HQ to rescue the remaining Six Heroes, only to be led into a trap set by Spinel, with Roy and his friends facing against each of the remaining Six Heroes and Explores Admins one on one.

In [[HZ125]], Roy used his Skeledirge and Kilowattrel to battle Lucius's Moltres. Despite struggling, Roy is able to find an opening for his Pokémon to battle Moltres, then combined his Kilowattrel's newly learned {{m|Supercell Slam}} and Skeledirge's Torch Song, defeating the Malevolent Pokémon.

In [[HZ127]], Roy battled against Nemona with Lucario and Pawmot having a rematch. After a tough fight Roy Mega-Evolved Lucario while Nemona Terastallized her Pawmot, with Lucario being defeated as a result, causing Roy to lose the battle.

In [[HZ129]], Roy, Liko, and Ult travelled to the Dragon's Den to battle the Black Rayquaza, though not before feeding it a meteorite given by Friede. Rayquaza then Terastallized and battled Roy and Ult's Pokémon teams, defeating most of their Pokémon, with only Skeledirge remaining as a final battler. Roy encouraged Skeledirge with all his effort, allowing Skeledirge to slow down and take Rayquaza's Dragon Ascent, and then defeated it with Flamethrower. Roy then officially caught Rayquaza, who acknowledged him as a Trainer, finally fufilling his dream. Rayquaza then exited its Poké Ball and started roaming the world until the time comes to gather the Six Heroes to get rid of Laquium once and for all.

In [[HZ131]], Roy is reunited with Master Mayonnaise whom came to the Kalos region looking for him and Ult and ran into Friede being fascinated with his Mega Starmie. He receives the [[Lucarionite Z]] from Master Mayonnaise for his Lucario. Soon, he and Lucario battle against Master Mayonnaise and his {{p|Hawlucha}}. At first, its showboat personality made it vulnerable to attack, however after it Mega Evolved, Lucario's attacks couldn't physically phase it. Roy tried to Mega Evolve Lucario with the new Mega Stone, however, it didn't respond to him nor Lucario before they was defeated. Master Mayonnaise revealed the reason why Roy and Lucario couldn't Master it is because their usage of Aura wasn't compatible to use the new Mega Evolution form. Roy vowed to learn and train his [[Aura]] until he could learn it alongside Lucario and asked Master Mayonnaise to train him again, which he agreed to.

In [[HZ132]], Roy and the group arrived at Diana's place to request her help, which she accepted. Roy trains his Lucario's Aura in order to use its new Mega Evolved form. However, realizing that Lucario isn't relax like him and the rest of his Pokémon are, Roy encourged the Aura Pokémon to join them and sang together. Roy and his Pokémon then watch Ult train with Diana and Master Mayonnaise. Through Ult's advice about finding a new battle style for his Pokémon, Roy realize that he and Lucario need to do the same. Roy was then challenged to a rematch by Master Mayonnaise, which he accepted. During the battle, Roy and Lucario found a new battling style, even becoming in sync, leading to Lucario Mega Evolving into its Z form. Through their teamwork, Roy and Lucario won the rematch then bid farewell to Master Mayonnaise. Roy and the group head for Laqua.

In [[HZ133]], Roy, Ult, and Friede lead Coral and Sidian away from Liko and Dot's group. After leading Coral and Sidian to a different location, Roy, Ult, and Friede did a [[Triple Battle]] with them and Chalce against their Mega-Evolved Pokémon. In the [[HZ134|next episode]], Roy, Ult, and Friede defeated Coral, Chalce and Sidian then left them. Once they meet back up with the girls and reunited with Amethio, Roy and the group encounter Spinel, Rubina, and Indi.

In [[HZ135]], Roy and his friends start erasing the Laquium Core, but the Explorers got in the way, even defeating Penny's {{p|Sylveon}} in the process. However, Roy and the group became surprised when Coral turned against Spinel and used her Scream Tail, nicknamed Screamypuff, to take Sylveon's place. Roy and the group became even more surprised when Chalce and Sidian also turned against Spinel as they with Coral decided to team up with the heroes in order to stop him for good. During the process to remove Laquium, Spinel merged with its Core, casuing it to awaken, much to Roy and the group's shock. Roy and the group tried to fight it, but it was too strong. However, they refused to give up and found out that the middle of the Laquium Core was the weak point that they needed to hit. In the [[HZ136|following episode]], Roy teamed up with Amethio to use their Mega-Evolved Legendary Pokémon to destroy the Laquium Core's defenses, which they were able to do. Roy then witnesses the Laquium Core being destroyed for good. After the threat with Laquium was over, Roy decided to continue leading the Rising Volt Tacklers on new adventures, as they are now free to fly into the sky once more without worry, after having their name clear with the public.

===Character===
[[File:Roy and Grandfather.png|thumb|250px|Roy and [[Roy's grandfather|his grandfather]]]]
Roy is an upbeat and energetic boy who likes to go hunting for treasures. Adventurous by nature, Roy seeks to start a journey to meet Pokémon he has not seen and see the world, just like the fabled [[Lucius|Ancient Adventurer]] he has heard about from his {{TP|Roy|grandfather}}. Although he starts inexperienced about the inner workings of being a [[Pokémon Trainer]], he is nonetheless adept at other related activities, such as building [[Secret Base]]s, and an expert in stone throwing, being able to ricochet pebbles for long distances to cut {{Berries}} from trees and create distractions, which makes his {{i|Poké Ball}} throws very accurate. Roy also seems to enjoy mysteries and doesn't rest until he's solved them. Due to growing up on an island, Roy struggles to navigate through large cities like [[Levincia]] and [[Lumiose City]] as all the buildings look the same to him, leading him to get lost easily as shown in ''[[HZ015|Someone We Can’t See! Whosawhatsit?!]]'' and ''[[HZ112|Mega Evolution - Roy]]''.

He always keeps his head up and is looking ahead, which [[Emma]]'s points out in ''[[HZ114|Mega Evolution - Bonds]]''. Those characteristics seem to be an inspiration to those around him, such as [[Dot]] and [[Ult]]. He also has a way of cheering up his friends whenever they are sad or down and knows how to raise their spirits. In addition, Roy doesn't usually show less positive emotions, such as depression and sadness. Although Roy does show those emotions, he doesn't let them affect him very long and shakes it off quickly.

Roy is shown to enjoy singing and eating, especially berries and spicy food. Roy's enjoyment of berries and spicy flavored foods is also shown in his [[curry]], as seen in ''[[HZ027|As Long as I'm with My Friends]]'', as most of the ingredients he uses are spicy flavored and berries. However, despite berries and spicy stuff being his favorite food, Roy does like certain other types of foods, such as sweets. Roy also gets excited to eat in general, as seen in ''[[HZ019|The Bittersweet Truth]]'', when he and {{p|Fuecoco}} got excited to eat all the sweets that [[Murdock]] and {{OBP|Mitchell|HZ019}} made from their unexpected bake-off. In addition to being a good singer, Roy is a skilled rapper. As revealed in ''[[HZ062|A New Song for Fuecoco]]'', Roy's love for singing comes from his parents, as they used to sing together whenever he was with them on their cargo ship, and even long after they had left, he would bond with the island Pokémon this way. He continues to use his newfound passion for singing as a means to not only have fun but improve his bond with Fuecoco, as he came up with a new song and battle tactic that is less predictable and stronger than before, allowing him and Fuecoco to win their rematch against [[Ryme]] in the same episode and fully gaining her respect to the point where she hyped up the crowd along with Roy when him and Fuecoco starting singing during his battle against [[Liko]] in ''[[HZ067|Shine on, Terastallization! Liko vs. Roy!]]''.
[[File:Dot Liko Roy Ult.png|thumb|left|250px|Roy and his friends]]
After befriending and spending time with Fuecoco and Liko, Roy learns that the feelings of the Trainer and the Pokémon have to coincide in order for a partnership to be born. Roy is also shown to be passionate about Pokémon, particularly [[Legendary Pokémon]], with his dream being to meet and battle them, much like the Ancient Adventurer, who managed to catch the {{Shiny|Black}} [[Black Rayquaza|Rayquaza]]. In addition, Roy would help any Pokémon in trouble as he would solve or work out their problems, especially his own. Due to living on an island for most of his life, Roy can get excited to see various places for the first time. However, despite this, Roy does have social skills as he isn't shy to talk with people or Pokémon. Although, Roy can be oblivious when it comes to the field of romance until someone points it out to him. Roy also enjoys being around nature, and often does his online classes in various spots on the island, with him deciding to make the battlefield on the [[Brave Olivine]] his main place to do them.

Upon being assigned to hoist the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]]' flag in ''[[HZ006|The Ancient Poké Ball]]'', Roy not only takes his job seriously, but also takes care of it. Roy is also fond of the Rising Volt Tacklers's flag, having found it in ''[[HZ003|For Sure! 'Cause Sprigatito's with Me!]]'', and symbolizes as to how he meet his friends, especially Fuecoco and Liko, and fond his ambitions. Through taking care of the Rising Volt Tackler's flag, Roy learned how to sew it back up whenever it got torn up, as seen in ''[[HZ038|The SOS is from Tandemaus?]]''. Roy also enjoys watching the Rising Volt Tacklers's flag blow into the wind when he and his teammates are flying around the Brave Olivine.

[[File:Roy parents.png|thumb|right|250px|Roy and [[Roy's parents|his parents]]]]
Roy shares a close relationship with his grandfather, as he raised and took care of him growing up. Since meeting [[Friede]] in ''[[HZ004|The Treasure After the Storm!]]'', Roy began to show admiration for him, as he looks up to him for both his skills and knowledge as Pokémon Trainer and [[Pokémon Professor|Professor]]. Roy also takes inspiration from Friede, as seen in ''[[HZ017|Special Training Time!]]'', when he was inspired by his Pokémon training together and decided to do the same thing for his Pokémon. In addition, Roy seems to have a great relationship with the rest of his teammates. However, out of all of his teammates, Roy seems to have a special relationship with Liko and Dot, as he often hangs out with them and enjoys their company. Throughout their journey, they would support each other, usually training together to become both better Trainers and versions of themselves. Roy also would go to Liko and Dot for advice whenever he is stuck in a jam.

Ever since the events in ''[[HZ006|The Ancient Poké Ball]]'', Roy took an interest in Pokémon battles and enjoys them, but lacked experiences and tended to be reckless while relying on brute force. However, thanks to the help of others, Roy has shown gradual improvement in his skills. His potential as a battler even got the attention of {{pkmn|Champion}}-ranked Trainer {{an|Nemona}}, which lead to them to developing a friendly rivalry, where she desires to battle him often and frequently watches his important battles as well as help him train for upcoming ones. Roy has also learned that having his Pokémon train with each other not only helps them become stronger, but also would help strengthen both their friendship and teamwork, as seen in ''[[HZ017|Special Training Time!]]''. In addition, Roy learns that failure in a Pokémon battle is part of a Trainers growth in order to improve. At first, Roy was only focusing on the battle and not everything around him. However, through [[Brassius]]'s advice in ''[[HZ048|Sparkle! The Glow of Fire and Art!]]'', Roy realizes that using everything around him such as the environment and small details of Pokémon can help him in battle. Overtime, Roy has learnt to strategise and adapt better during battles to avoid becoming too predictable, getting caught off guard or overwhelmed by his opponent, allowing him to win more often. He also no longer panics during battles, remaining calm and confident while guiding his Pokémon. This is especially shown in ''[[HZ068|Into a New Sky! The Brave Olivine!]]'' where he effortlessly commanded his {{p|Crocalor}} whenever he was scared or distressed against [[Lucius's Moltres]]. However, Roy will still struggle to focus during a battle if something is genuinely weighing on his mind, as shown in ''[[HZ065|Liko and Amethio]]'', when Liko went missing, as he and Dot were unable to put a one hundred percent into their battle against the [[Explorers]] because they were worried about her safety.

Roy has shown to be somewhat of an amateur artist. His artistic ability is displayed whenever he crafted cardboard cutouts of Pokémon for training purposes as shown in ''[[HZ014|Fly! Wattrel!!]]'' and in ''[[HZ037|Fuecoco…Becomes a Crook?!]]'', as well as when he and Fuecoco presented an impressive {{p|Charizard}} sculpture that represented their respective dreams during the [[Artazon Art Festival]]. This has allowed him to form a close mentor-student relationship with Brassius and even gain the respect of [[Hassel]]. His artistic nature is even shown in battle as seen in ''[[HZ055|Showdown! The Paldea Elite Four]]'' when he combined his Fuecoco's moves with the moves of Brassius's {{p|Dolliv}}, creating a spectacular display. Additionally, his fondness and appreciation for art also stretches to the works of other people, like when he was the first to compliment Brassius’s Black Rayquaza sculpture in ''[[HZ010|Nemona and Brassius and…]]'', or when he moved his battle against [[Coral]] outside in ''[[HZ066|Infiltrating the System! Naranja Academy in Danger!]]'' to prevent the other students' artworks from getting burnt during their fight.

[[File:Roy and Lucario Aura.png|thumb|left|250px|Roy connecting with his {{TP|Roy|Lucario}} through [[aura]]]]
As early as ''[[HZ013|An Unexpected Picnic!]]'', Roy has displayed an eagerness for taking photos on his [[Rotom Phone]], wanting to capture special moments with his friends and Pokémon during his journey. This was later emphasized in ''[[HZ061|Resonating Spirits in a Challenge to Ryme!]]'', when he and Fuecoco looked back fondly at different photos that were taken up until that point, with Roy even getting another photo alongside his Pokémon partners and the wild Pokémon he befriended on [[Glaseado Mountain]] in the same episode.

Since losing Friede, the Rising Volt Tacklers disbanding after being framed by [[Spinel]], and his year training in [[Kalos]], Roy has noticeably matured, as he is much calmer and reserved, but still maintains his adventurous spirit. While he still pursues strength, he has developed a more principled and mission-focused demeanor and prioritizing protecting others over pursuing strength for the sake of it. Liko comments on how he appears more dependable than before. However, his relationship with his would-be rival Ult is tenuous at best: while Roy can get along with him, respects Ult's skill as a Trainer and tolerates his presence at times, he finds Ult to be a nuisance and a liability who will only get in the way of his personal missions, and Roy's actions around him suggest he doesn't want to put up with him, even going so far as to keep him in the dark as to his reason for pursuing the Black Rayquaza and forcefully dragging Liko away from him when he goes on tirades about power. Roy also would be at odds with Ult and teases him. Despite this, Roy does have a close friendship with Ult and tries to keep him out of trouble. Roy does show concern for Ult and doesn't want to see him get hurt. Although, as time passed, Roy's friendship with Ult has shown improvement, which has them clashing less and are more supportive to each other. Roy would even take Ult's advice about battling, as shown in [[HZ132]].

After the Rising Volt Tacklers reformed in ''[[HZ100|We Are the Rising Volt Tacklers!]]'', Roy helps Captain Pikachu in making decisions during Friede's absence, as he and the rest of his teammates find out that he is still alive but in hiding from the Explorers. Roy also has help in Liko and Dot for making decisions for the group's destinations because the three of them are the reason the team reformed and Ult joining the group as their newest member. In addition, Roy has been flying the Brave Olivine, as Murdock taught him in ''[[HZ101|Terastallization vs. Mega Evolution!]]'' and has been doing so ever since, even becoming quite skilled at it. When Friede returned in ''[[HZ121|The Catcher in the Sky]]'', Roy was willing to give leadership back to him and not have to worry about the burden of being in charge. However, after having a battle with Friede in the [[HZ122|next episode]], Roy has come to accept being the leader of the reformed Rising Volt Tacklers, but knows that his best friends, Pokémon, and the rest of his teammates are there to help him. He is also learning on how to maintain the Brave Olivine from [[Orla]], as seen in ''[[HZ123|Mochi Mayhem]]''.

During his training with [[Drayton]] at [[Blueberry Academy]], Roy learned to become more relaxed even in the heat of battle as before he would get very worked up and thus leave him unable to think about the next move and he would panic slightly about what to do next. This trait partially lead to his defeat by Drayton in ''[[HZ116|Terarium Training!]]'', but using what he learned from Drayton he won the rematch in ''[[HZ119|Don't Give Up, Crocalor!]]'' with his Crocalor evolving into {{TP|Roy|Skeledirge}} in the process. Roy's development in being relaxed during battle is shown in [[HZ125]], when he stayed calm and found an opening during his battle against Moltres. He even used Drayton's lesson to help his Lucario be less frustrated and go with the flow more in [[HZ132]].

In [[HZ131]], it is revealed that Roy isn't able to properly use or harness Aura for his Lucario to have access to its new Mega Evolution, despite being able to read Lucario's movements in ''[[HZ114|Mega Evolution - Bonds]]'' through his and Crocalor's Aura. However, after bonding more, Roy and his Lucario were able to pull off the new Mega Evolution in their rematch against Master Mayonnaise.

===Pokémon===
[[File:Roy party.png|thumb|250px|Roy's current [[party]]]]
Roy's team consists mainly of gluttons, which is a trait their Trainer's also has, who had problems in the past, usually involving some form of insecurity: {{TP|Roy|Skeledirge}} was initially embarrassed of singing in front of others, {{TP|Roy|Kilowattrel}} was scared of heights, and {{TP|Roy|Lucario}} would easily get frustrated. However, through his unorthodox methods, he was able to help his Pokémon overcome them and, by doing so, allowed them to truly grow. During Skeledirge and Kilowattrel's first stages, they used to look up to [[Friede's Charizard]] and [[Captain Pikachu]], respectively, due to their shared types. His Pokémon all share Roy's eagerness for battling, as they don't give up until the end.

Furthermore, his Pokémon seemed to take on a particular role on the team as they developed: Skeledirge and {{p|Lucario}} are Roy's main {{pkmn|battle}}rs, with Lucario's [[Mega Evolution]] in particular acting as the team's power equalizer against tougher opponents, while Kilowattrel is the secondary battler, although it mainly acts as aerial support. When Captain Pikachu was traveling with Roy, he often contributed in tough battles with his greater experience and power. Roy's Pokémon seem to have a tight knit bond with each other and especially work well together as a unit due to their extensive training in [[Kalos]].

This listing is of Roy's known {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in {{aniseries|HZ}}:

==Trivia ==
* Roy was originally designed by [[Ken Sugimori]] before being adapted for the {{pkmn|animated series}} by the series' character designers.<ref name=anipoke20230303>[https://twitter.com/anipoke_PR/status/1631603322170769409 Tweet by アニメ「ポケットモンスター」公式 (@anipoke_PR).] Posted on March 3, 2023.</ref><ref name=LikoRoyConcept>[https://natalie.mu/comic/gallery/news/515226/2010334 Concept art on Natalie] (the concept art's file name is "riko_roy_sugimori.jpg")</ref>
* Roy has a stylized {{p|Unown}} “R” on his shirt, which directly alludes to his name.
* Roy is the first male main character:
** To keep his Japanese name in the English dub of the animated series.
** To own a Pokémon that debuted before him, as {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}} debuted one episode before [[HZ003|Roy's debut]].
* Roy is the first main human character since {{an|Cilan}} to not debut in the first episode of his series.
* Roy is the first main character to:
** Have obtained a [[first partner Pokémon]] as their first Pokémon in their home region since {{an|Serena}}, who obtained her {{TP|Serena|Fennekin}} in ''[[XY004|A Shocking Cheeky Friendship!]]'', 435 episodes earlier.
** Catch a [[Shiny Pokémon]] offscreen.
** Become the leader of an established team.
** Own more than one Shiny Pokémon.
* All of Roy's Pokémon have been obtained in different [[region]]s: {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}} in [[Kanto]], {{TP|Roy|Wattrel}} in [[Paldea]], {{TP|Roy|Lucario}} in [[Kalos]], and [[Black Rayquaza|Rayquaza]] in [[Johto]].
** Additionally, all of Roy’s Pokémon were recurring [[wild Pokémon]] at some point, never being caught in the same episode that that he encountered them for the first time. While Lucario [[HZ089|debuted]] under his ownership, it later appeared in [[Episode: Mega Evolution|three episodes]] set in the past and depicting it as a wild Pokémon before its capture.
*** This makes Roy the only main character whose Pokémon have all chronologically appeared in at least one episode before being caught.
* Roy is the first main character other than {{Ash}} to be able to use more than one battle technique.
* Roy is the first [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] member to defeat a [[Gym Leader]] in a [[Pokémon battle]].
* Roy is the only member of the Rising Volt Tacklers to have:
** Shiny Pokémon.
** A Pokémon who was introduced in [[Generation IV]].
* Roy's name was changed in the German, Spanish, French, and Portuguese localizations of the animated series, presumably due to a naming conflict with [[Raihan]], one of the [[Gym Leader]]s in {{g|Sword and Shield}}, who is named "Roy" in those languages. His name was also changed in the Korean localization of the animated series, presumably due to a naming conflict with [[James]], who is named "Roy" in that language.
* When {{Tera}}stallizing his {{TP|Roy|Skeledirge}} and {{TP|Roy|Kilowattrel}}, Roy uses the phrase '''sparkle, gem of dreams''' (Japanese: '''輝け、夢の結晶''' ''shine bright, crystallization of our dreams'').
* When [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolving]] his {{TP|Roy|Lucario}}, Roy uses the phrase '''seize your true power and go above and beyond''' (Japanese: '''真なる力を掴んで超えろ！''' ''Grasp true power and go beyond!'').
* Roy's in-game [[Trainer ID number]] is 230512, the Japanese air date of ''[[HZ006|The Ancient Poké Ball]]''.

'''Roy's Lucario''' (Japanese: '''ロイのルカリオ''' ''Roy's Lucario''), also known as the (Japanese: '''黄色いルカリオ''' ''Yellow Lucario'') and '''Yellow Flash''' (Japanese: '''イエローブラスト''' ''Yellow Blast''), is the first Pokémon [[Roy]] caught in the [[Kalos|Kalos region]] and his third overall. It is a [[Shiny Pokémon]].

==History==
[[File:Lucario choosing Roy.png|thumb|250px|left|Lucario choosing to go with [[Roy]]]]
As revealed in ''[[HZ112|Mega Evolution - Roy]]'', {{p|Lucario}}, known as the "Yellow Flash" at the time, was considered to be the strongest Pokémon living at the [[Lost Mayo Maze]] in the [[Kalos]] [[region]], always looking out for opponents at its level. After the incident in [[Laqua]], [[Master Mayonnaise]] tasked [[Roy]] and [[Ult]] to find the palace and challenge the Yellow Flash as part of their [[Mega Evolution]] training. However, after making their way there, both of them were easily defeated by Lucario due to its speed. In the [[HZ113|next episode]], Lucario led Roy and Ult back to its lair, giving the two {{pkmn|Trainer}}s a chance for a [[rematch]].

In ''[[HZ114|Mega Evolution - Bonds]]'', Lucario battled both Roy and Ult once more. Although Ult Mega Evolved his {{p|Sableye}}, due to its inexperience with Mega Evolution, Lucario still managed to defeat it, with {{TP|Roy|Crocalor}} being the only one left to battle. Despite the odds, thanks to Roy's singing and predictions, Crocalor was able to avoid Lucario's attacks and counter its speed. Upon sensing Roy's [[aura]], Lucario was so motivated that it somehow Mega Evolved even though Roy had not {{pkmn2|caught}} it yet. Mega Lucario then attacked Crocalor with Flash Cannon, but it was ultimately defeated by Crocalor's {{m|Flamethrower}}. Inspired by both Roy and Crocalor's strength, Lucario begged Roy to let it join his team, after which Roy caught Lucario as his third Pokemon.
[[File:Roy and Lucario.png|thumb|250px|Lucario and Roy]]
Lucario debuted at the very end of ''[[HZ089|Where the Adventure Leads]]'', where it was seen alongside [[Roy]] and the rest of his [[Party|team]] one year after incident in Laqua. In ''[[HZ090|Eyes to the Skies Once Again (Part One)]]'', Lucario was used to battle against a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Slaking}} that was being influenced by [[Laquium]]. It immediately [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] alongside [[Ult]]'s {{p|Sableye}}, allowing them to weaken their opponent enough for [[Captain Pikachu]] to finish it off. In the [[HZ091|next episode]], Lucario went up against [[Ann]]'s {{p|Samurott}} and quickly won without Mega Evolving.

In ''[[HZ101|Terastallization vs. Mega Evolution!]]'', Lucario teamed up with Crocalor for a [[Double Battle]] against {{an|Nemona}}'s {{p|Pawmot}} and {{p|Ribombee}}. They initially struggled against their opponents, as their defined roles as attacker and support, respectively, allowed them to deal big damage and remain healthy through most of the battle. Once Roy managed to disrupt it, however, they were able to launch a strong counterattack. Soon, Lucario Mega Evolved while Pawmot {{Tera}}stallized, and the ensuing clash of {{t|Fighting}} [[type]]s ended up with Lucario's victory, thus making Roy win by default.
[[File:Roy Lucario Lucarionite.png|thumb|250px|left|Lucario's [[Lucarionite]]]]
In ''[[HZ107|Friends as Two, Me and You]]'', Lucario, alongside the rest of Roy's party and Ult's Sableye, battled against [[Indi]] and [[Rubina]]'s {{form|Darmanitan|Zen Mode}} {{p|Darmanitan}}. Due to the [[Explorers]] being assisted by an army of {{p|Rabsca}}, they managed to keep the upper hand for the majority of the battle. However, once Ult's {{p|Dragonite}} emerged, Mega Evolved, and defeated the Rabsca, Lucario was able to Mega Evolve before teaming up with Mega Dragonite to deal the finishing blow, defeating the two Darminitan.

In ''[[HZ110|The Six Heroes Unleashed!]]'', Lucario was used alongside the rest of Roy, [[Liko]], and Ult's Pokémon to battle against five of the [[Six Heroes]], who were under the influence of the Super [[Strong Sphere]]s. Together, they stalled for time to allow Pagogo to purify the Laquium away from the heroes' bodies, only for the Explorers to use the Super Strong Spheres on them a second time. In the [[HZ111|next episode]], after being Mega Evolved, Lucario teamed up with Ult's Mega Dragonite to take on {{TP|Lucius|Moltres}} and {{TP|Lucius|Lapras}}. They performed a combination tactic that temporarily stunned their opponents, but before they could follow up with an actual attack, Lucario and Dragonite were simultaneously taken out by {{TP|Lucius|Arboliva}}.

In [[HZ124]], Lucario teamed up with Ult's Sableye and Captain Pikachu to help Roy, Ult, [[Amethio]], and the girls mission to save the reamning Six Heroes from the Explorers, as they battle the grunts. Despite defeating the three grunts, Lucario came in no shape to continue the mission.
[[File:Lucarionite Z anime.png|thumb|250px|Lucario's [[Lucarionite Z]]]]
In [[HZ129]], Lucario was sent out as Roy's second Pokémon during his battle against the [[Black Rayquaza]], fighting it alongside Ult's Mega Dragonite in its own Mega-Evolved form. Lucario even defended Dragonite from Rayquaza's Draco Meteor to help its teammate last longer in the fight. Despite landing some strong hits, Lucario was ultimately defeated by a powerful combination of Rayquaza's {{m|Dragon Ascent}} and {{m|Dragon Pulse}}.

In [[HZ131]], Lucario received a [[Lucarionite Z]] from Master Mayonnaise and then proceeded to have a battle against his {{p|Hawlucha}}. Initially, they appeared to be equally matched, but once Hawlucha Mega Evolved, it dominated the battle and turned Lucario's offensive battle style against it with an {{m|Encore}}. Having fallen out of sync with its Trainer, Lucario was unable to achieve the new Mega Evolution and soon fell to a {{m|Flying Press}}. Master Mayonnaise pointed out that Lucario still needed to master its true aura power, and they agreed to train. In the [[HZ132|next episode]], following an unfruitful training session, Lucario unwound and sung with its Trainer and teammates, which gave to it a new perspective during its [[rematch]] against Mega Hawlucha. Now, even under the effect of Encore, it was able to adopt a more relaxed, free-flowing battle style, allowing it to block and dodge the incoming assault all the while waiting for the perfect moment to counterattack. With Lucario and Roy becoming more in sync as the battle went on, it successfully Mega Evolved into Mega Lucario Z for the first time and, after learning {{m|Aerial Ace}}, finished off Hawlucha, winning Roy the rematch.

In [[HZ133]], Lucario Mega Evolved into Mega Lucario Z and was used to battle [[Chalce]]'s Mega {{p|Medicham}}. The battle continued in the [[HZ134|next episode]], where Lucario's arms got frozen by [[Coral]]'s {{p|Glalie}}, Roy had Lucario use its head appendages as weapons to bludgeon Medicham as a counterattack. In the midst of battle, Medicham reverted back to normal prematurely without fainting, due to the bond-breaking effects of using Laquium too many times in the past. Chalce reluctantly used Laquium on Medicham once more but despite that Medicham struggled to deal damage to its opponent. In the end, Lucario defeated Medicham with Aerial Ace, allowing Roy, Friede, and Ult to carry on to the center of Laqua.

In [[HZ135]], Lucario was sent out to stop the Explorers from interfering in their attempts of erasing the Laquium once and for all. However, after Spinel merged with the Laquium Core and awakened it, Lucario tried to stop it, but was defeated and returned to its Poké Ball to rest.

==Personality and characteristics==
[[File:Roy and Lucario Aura.png|thumb|left|250px|Lucario and Roy connecting through [[Aura]]]]
This Lucario, distinct with its rare yellow [[Aura]]—a potential mark of its Shininess—forges a particularly strong bond with [[Roy]] through its sensitivity to Aura. More than just loyal, this Pokémon exhibits a remarkable battle readiness and has proven to be a formidable force, even capable of [[Mega Evolution]], making it a dependable asset in any challenge Roy faces. Lucario's ability to sense Aura has been helpful when predicting its opponents' next move, as seen in its battle against [[Ann]]'s {{p|Samurott}} in ''[[HZ091|Eyes to the Skies Once Again (Part Two)]]'' and the [[Laquium]]-afflicted {{p|Steelix}} in ''[[HZ092|Following Traces of Laquium]]''.
[[File:Lucario Skeledirge Kilowattrel.png|thumb|250px|Lucario, {{TP|Roy|Skeledirge}}, and {{TP|Roy|Kilowattrel}}]]
Lucario has a mostly stoic and serious personality, much like most of its {{p|Lucario|species}}. On occasion, it has shown to become exasperated by the antics of others, such as in ''[[HZ096|Crash! Team Dragon Rampage]]'', when Roy had to resort to it since [[Roy's Crocalor]] was too full to battle or when it saw [[Ult]] heading to the wrong direction. Due to it being caught after the disbandment of the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]], it is not used to the eccentric antics of the younger members and their Pokémon and, as a result, tends to keep to itself in such moments, as seen in ''[[HZ093|Clash of the Nidothing Fans]]'', when it just stood by awkwardly as everyone added to Roy's song, seemingly confused and unsure of what to do. Despite this, Lucario is still capable of showing joy and affection, especially towards Roy and Skeledirge, and is perfectly capable of working alongside other Pokémon. Lucario, upon first being defeated by Roy's Crocalor in battle revealed a rarer and more adorable side of its personality, instantly begging Roy to have it join his team, showing keen admiration, excitement and respect towards stronger opponents.

Lucario seems to have an interesting relationship with Ult's {{p|Sableye}} as the two of them often battle and work well together, especially when they Mega Evolve, likely due to them training together in [[Kalos]] alongside their Trainers. Also, like their Trainers, they can be at odds with each other and Lucario would tease Sableye, but does share a fist bump with the Darkness Pokémon after working together to win a battle. Although, as time passed, Lucario's friendship with Sableye has improved and don't seem to clash with each other than they used to.

Despite always being ready to assist Roy in more serious situations, Lucario has also shown an eagerness for friendly battles as well, as shown in ''[[HZ091|Eyes to the Skies Once Again (Part Two)]]'' and ''[[HZ101|Terastallization vs. Mega Evolution!]]''. In ''[[HZ105|Riding the Waves]]'', Lucario is shown to be a good swimmer and enjoys other activities such as surfing with Roy. Lucario appears to dislike sweets, as shown in ''[[HZ098|Reunion in Cortondo]]'', where it was the only Pokémon in the group not seen enjoying [[Katy]]'s confections.

In [[HZ131]], it's revealed that Lucario becomes easily frustrated when its attacks do not work, becoming increasingly frustrated when [[Master Mayonnaise]]'s Mega {{p|Hawlucha}}'s defense caused its {{m|Close Combat}} to not do any damage. However, in the [[HZ132|next episode]], Lucario learned from its mistakes of getting frustrated and attacking head on with sheer brute force. Through that lesson, Lucario has calmed down more, strengthening its Aura and bond with its Trainer. It additionally started adopting a more calm and free-flowing fighting style to counter opponents attacks better, which improved greatly after it successfully mastered Z Mega Evolution.

==Trivia==
[[File:Roy Lucario sparkling.png|thumb|250px|Like Shiny Pokémon in the games, Lucario sparkles as it exits its Poké Ball]]
* Lucario is the first [[Shiny Pokémon]]:
** To appear in {{aniseries|HZ}} that is not a [[Legendary Pokémon]].
** To appear in ''Pokémon Horizons: The Series'' that sparkles as it exits its [[Poké Ball]].
*** While other {{pkmn2|caught}} Shiny Pokémon, namely the [[Black Rayquaza]] and the [[White Zygarde]], had appeared before Lucario, they did not sparkle as they exited their Poké Balls until being recaught by [[Roy]] and [[Amethio]], respectively, in standard ones.
* Lucario is currently the only Pokémon owned by Roy that has not {{Tera}}stallized.
* Lucario is the first Pokémon in the {{pkmn|animated series}} to have [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] into different Mega Evolutions (Mega Lucario and Mega Lucario Z).
* Lucario is currently the only one of its {{p|Lucario|species}} in the animated series to not have used any [[pulse move]]s.

'''Nemona''' (Japanese: '''ネモ''' ''Nemo'') is a supporting character in {{aniseries|HZ}}. She is a {{pkmn|Champion}}-ranked {{pkmn|Trainer}} who first appeared in ''[[HZ010|Nemona and Brassius and...]]''.

Nemona is also the current student council president of [[Naranja Academy]] and eventually became a friendly [[rival]] to [[Roy]], often challenging him to battle.

==In animation==
===History===
====Pre-series====
Prior to the events of the series, Nemona challenged the [[Paldea League]] and managed to become a {{pkmn|Champion}}-ranked Trainer. This made her famous among Trainers in the [[Paldea]] [[region]].

====''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]''====
[[File:Nemona Liko Roy.png|250px|left|thumb|Nemona with [[Liko]] and [[Roy]]]]
Nemona first appeared in ''[[HZ010|Nemona and Brassius and...]]'' while winning a battle against a Trainer. Some time before meeting [[Liko]] and [[Roy]], Nemona came to [[Artazon]] town to meet with [[Brassius]] and discuss his absence from the [[Gym]]. Upon being introduced to the young Trainers, Nemona joined them to go to the Gym and meet Brassius. During the meeting, they discussed their works and when Roy spoke about the [[Black Rayquaza]], Brassius kicked everyone out of his house. While discussing why Brassius acted the way he did, Liko came to the conclusion that Brassius might have {{wp|writer's block}}. After that, Nemona took Liko and Roy to the {{DL|Artazon|Sunflora Lawn}} and decided to group as many {{p|Sunflora}} to create inspiration for Brassius again, showing them later that she managed to gather fifteen species. After Brassius saw the group's determination and his {{p|Dolliv}}'s insistence, Brassius presented Nemona, Liko and Roy with a work based on his vision of {{p|Rayquaza}}. As soon as Brassius challenged Roy to a {{pkmn|battle}}, Nemona watched the battle along with Liko and explained some concepts like {{Tera}}stallization to her. At the end, Brassius presented another work of his to the group, one based on the forest's {{DL|Six Heroes|Arboliva}}.
[[File:Nemona Liko Roy Dot HZ046.png|250px|thumb|Nemona reuniting with Liko, Roy, and Dot at [[Naranja Academy]]]]
In the [[HZ011|next episode]], Nemona accompanied Liko, Roy, and [[Mollie]] into the [[Arboliva's Forest]]. Upon arriving, Nemona said goodbye to the group and said that the next time she would met them, she would like to have a battle with Roy.

Nemona appeared in a flashback to Liko and Roy's journey in ''[[HZ045|From So Far Away]]''.

In ''[[HZ046|Welcome to Naranja Academy!]]'', Nemona reunited with Liko and Roy and met [[Dot]] after they enrolled at [[Naranja Academy]] to train for the [[Tera Training]]. During the reunion, Liko and Roy discovered that Nemona's Pawmo evolved, and shortly thereafter, Nemona challenged Roy to a battle but was stopped by [[Clavell]]. Shortly after, Nemona showed off the Academy to the freshmen and introduced [[Elite Four]] members [[Rika]] and [[Hassel]] to her friends. After Liko and [[Ann]]'s battle, Nemona appeared again wanting to battle but was interrupted by the ringing of the Academy's bell.
[[File:Roy and Nemona.png|left|250px|thumb|Nemona and Roy]]
In ''[[HZ048|Sparkle! The Glow of Fire and Art!]]'', Nemona was in Artazon again helping with an Art Festival that would be held by Naranja Academy and Brassius: Upon meeting Roy again, Nemona immediately challenged him to a battle which she won without much difficulty, despite Roy and {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}} gave their best. After the battle, Nemona took her friends to the workshop where work was being done. After Liko, Roy and Dot showed off their art, Nemona watched Roy's battle against Brassius. [[HZ060|Some time later]], it was revealed that Nemona took a photo with Liko, Roy and Dot before separating from the group.

In ''[[HZ055|Showdown! The Paldea Elite Four]]'', Nemona reunited with Liko, Roy, and Dot when they returned to Naranja Academy, after explaining their next challenge, Nemona watched the students' battles against Paldea's Elite Four. After Roy's defeat in the battle against Hassel, Nemona came personally to tell him to continue doing his best. In [[HZ056|next episode]], Nemona watched Liko and [[Katy]]'s battle against Rika alongside Roy and [[Ann]].

In ''[[HZ061|Resonating Spirits in a Challenge to Ryme!]]'', it was revealed that Nemona traveled to [[Montenevera]], and after saving {{TP|Liko|Terapagos}} from falling from the sky, Nemona reunited with Liko, Roy, and Dot again. Soon after, Nemona watched alongside Liko and Dot as Roy battled [[Ryme]], and when Roy was defeated, Nemona joined the girls to see how Roy and Fuecoco were doing. In the [[HZ062|following episode]], in order to cheer Roy up, Nemona held a [[Hyper Training]] with him and Fuecoco. As the afternoon wore on, Nemona joined the group and heard the story of why Roy likes to sing. Later, Nemona watched Roy and Ryme's [[rematch]] and after Roy's victory, she congratulated him for advancing another step in the Tera Training.
[[File:Nemona Arven Penny HZ067.png|250px|thumb|Nemona with [[Penny]] and [[Arven]]]]
In ''[[HZ066|Infiltrating the System! Naranja Academy in Danger!]]'', Nemona met with Liko, Roy, and Dot again. After talking about the progress of the Tournament for the Tera Training students, she watched the battles while Liko and Roy solved a problem at Naranja Academy involving the [[Explorers]]. In the [[HZ067|next episode]], Nemona praised Roy and Liko's heroic actions in saving the school from the Explorers, whom she heard from [[Penny]]. Soon after, Nemona watched Liko and Roy's battle alongside Penny and [[Arven]], and after Roy's victory, Nemona congratulated him on the result and said she was proud of Roy's progress up to that point alongside Ryme.

In ''[[HZ101|Terastallization vs. Mega Evolution!]]'', Nemona was at Naranja Academy strolling around when she noticed [[Dendra]] and her {{p|Hariyama}} chasing after [[Ult]], believing he was up to no good. Nemona and Dendra caught Ult and his {{p|Sableye}}. Eventually, Nemona reunited with Liko, Roy, and Dot, who clarified that Ult was their teammate. Nemona then decided to challenge Roy to a [[Double Battle]], having wanted to battle him again after a long time, which he eagerly accepted, with Nemona's Pawmot and {{p|Ribombee}} against [[Roy's Crocalor]] and {{TP|Roy|Lucario}}. It was an intense battle, with Nemona using various tactics to defend, heal, and attack, but Roy was able to employ clever tactics to overcome these measures. In the climax of the battle, Nemona {{Tera}}stallized her Pawmot while Roy [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] his Lucario, with Lucario emerging victorious. Pawmot's defeat led to Roy being declared the winner. After the battle, Nemona congratulated Roy, while Ult wanted to battle her next. To everyone's surprise, Penny challenged Dot to a battle instead. In the [[HZ102|next episode]], Nemona analyzed the battle between Penny and Dot. At the end of the day, when saying goodbye to the group, she highlighted how much they have evolved as people and Trainers and that she expects great things from them.

In [[HZ115]], Nemona returned as a student at [[Blueberry Academy]]. She had a Double Battle against Roy, using her Pawmot and {{p|Decidueye}} to battle Crocalor and Lucario. Using Decidueye's {{m|Spirit Shackle}} to stop Lucario from moving, Nemona was able to defeat Lucario before defeating Crocalor, winning her the match. After the battle, Nemona returned to [[Paldea]].
[[File:Nemona Strong Sphere HZ126.png|250px|left|thumb|Nemona witnessing the use of a [[Strong Sphere]] on a Pokémon for the first time]]
In [[HZ126]], Nemona participated in a meeting between Clavell, Geeta, Penny, and the Rising Volt Tacklers regarding the data [[HZ120|they collected]] from the [[Strong Sphere]]. After the Strong Sphere was banned at Naranja Academy, Nemona watched the battle between Liko and [[Dash]], where she witnessed the item's destructive potential. Later, after learning about all the events the Rising Volt Tacklers witnessed, Nemona volunteered alongside Penny to fight against the [[Explorers]]' plans.

In [[HZ127]], Nemona battled against Roy with her Pawmot against Roy's Lucario once again. After a tough fight, Nemona Terastallized Pawmot while Roy Mega-evolved his Lucario, with both Pokemon clashing attacks with each other. In the end Pawmot dodged Lucario's final attack at the last moment and defeated it with Mach Punch, winning Nemona the battle.

In [[HZ131]], Nemona, along with Penny and Ann, traveled to [[Levincia]] to reunite with the Rising Volt Tacklers. Some time later, she joined the others and they watched Roy's battle against [[Master Mayonnaise]]. During the battle, Nemona was able to perceive that Roy was out of sync with {{TP|Roy|Lucario}}, which prevented it from Mega Evolving. In the [[HZ132|next episode]], Nemona traveled with the group to [[Diana]]'s castle in [[Galar]]. During Roy's rematch against Master Mayonnaise, Nemona joined Liko and explained to her about the bond that Roy and his Pokémon had regarding [[Aura]].

In [[HZ133]], Nemona joined in the battle against the Explorers, joining Penny and Dot in battling against [[Indi]] and [[Rubina]]'s {{p|Cofagrigus}} and {{p|Runerigus}}. The trio struggled against their opponents at first due to their use of {{m|Curse}} and {{m|Destiny Bond}}, but with [[Hamber]]'s arrival, they were able to defeat their Pokémon. In the [[HZ134|next episode]], Nemona and her group meet back up with their friends, where she met [[Amethio]]. Nemona and the group then encountered [[Spinel]], Rubina, and Indi.

===Character===
[[File:Nemona ready battle.png|thumb|250px|Nemona ready to battle]]
Nemona is a very friendly and kind person, quickly making friends with [[Liko]] and [[Roy]]. Nemona has a very supportive personality, showing this when she tried to encourage Roy to continue doing his best in battles after being defeated by [[Hassel]].

She also has a huge passion for [[Pokémon battle]]s, challenging different Trainers as she encounters them on her way to a battle. During the time that Liko and Roy spent at [[Naranja Academy]], Nemona often challenged people to battle, but was always interrupted by something. In addition to this, in ''[[HZ061|Resonating Spirits in a Challenge to Ryme!]]'', Nemona revealed that she enjoys following some events that involve Pokémon battles, which motivated her to travel to [[Montenevera]] just to watch the battles that happened at [[Ryme]]'s show.

As expected from a {{pkmn|Champion}}, Nemona is well respected in the [[Paldea]] [[region]], as shown during her [[HZ010|first appearance]] and when Nemona met [[Dot]] who was quite embarrassed in Nemona's presence. It is indicated that this recognition of Nemona's abilities extended to other regions, as in [[HZ115]], it was shown that the students of [[Blueberry Academy]] were quite impressed with Nemona. Despite her young age she is shown to be very knowledgeable about various topics in the Pokémon world such as the [[Terastal phenomenon]] and [[Aura]]. Nemona also has a very strong moral code, developing a strong dislike for the [[Explorers]] due to their actions against the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] and Pokémon. This dislike is further exacerbated after witnessing the effects of [[Laquium]] on [[Dash]]'s {{p|Swanna}}, causing her and [[Penny]] to join the Rising Volt Tacklers in their opposition against [[Exceed]] and the [[Strong Sphere]]s, showing that her compassion extends to Pokémon as well. This is shown again when she calls out [[Indi]] and [[Rubina]] for using their Pokemon as tools rather than partners.

It first appeared as a {{p|Pawmo}} in ''[[HZ010|Nemona and Brassius and...]]'', where it was seen battling a Trainer's {{p|Skiploom}}, which it defeated with {{m|Spark}}. During the encounter with [[Brassius]], Pawmo was frequently hit by the oil of his {{p|Dolliv}}.

In ''[[HZ046|Welcome to Naranja Academy!]]'', Pawmo was revealed to have [[Evolution|evolved]] into Pawmot.

In ''[[HZ048|Sparkle! The Glow of Fire and Art!]]'', Nemona used Pawmot in her battle against [[Roy]], where it battled against his {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}}. After a tough battle, Pawmot emerged victorious, defeating Fuecoco with {{m|Double Shock}}.

In ''[[HZ061|Resonating Spirits in a Challenge to Ryme!]]'', Nemona had Pawmot save {{TP|Liko|Terapagos}} from falling from the sky. In the [[HZ062|following episode]], Pawmot was used by Nemona to help Roy and Fuecoco in a [[Hyper Training]] session.

In ''[[HZ101|Terastallization vs. Mega Evolution!]]'', Nemona partnered Pawmot and {{p|Ribombee}} for a [[Double Battle]] against Roy's Crocalor and {{shiny}} {{TP|Roy|Lucario}}. After Roy [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] Lucario, Nemona {{Tera}}stallized Pawmot into a pure {{type|Fighting}}, but it ended up being defeated, thus making Nemona lose by default.

In [[HZ115]], Pawmot was used in another Double Battle, this time partnered with Nemona's {{p|Decidueye}} again battling against Lucario and Crocalor. Thanks to the training Nemona received at the [[Blueberry Academy]] and Nemona's strategy with Decidueye's {{m|Spirit Shackle}}, Pawmot managed to defeat Lucario, and then Pawmot, by Terastalizing and using a Focus Punch against Crocalor, was able to defeat it.

Pawmot's known moves are {{m|Spark}}, {{m|Quick Attack}}, {{m|Dig}}, {{m|Double Shock}}, {{m|Discharge}}, {{m|Mach Punch}}, and {{m|Focus Punch}}.

Throughout the battle, Ribombee acted as a support Pokémon, healing up and restoring Pawmot's stamina, as well as protecting their side of the field with different [[status move]]s. At the end, however, Pawmot ended up being defeated, thus making Nemona lose by default.

In [[HZ133]], Ribombee was the second Pokémon Nemona used in her battle against [[Indi]] and [[Rubina]]'s {{p|Cofagrigus}} and {{p|Runerigus}}. It became affected by the opponent's Curse immediately, dealing damage to it while being unable to attack or switch out due to Destiny Bond and Mean Look. After Dot's Gholdengo sacrificed itself to defeat the Runerigus and Cofagrigus, Ribombee was able to be recalled and freed from Curse's effects.

==Trivia==
* In an interview with {{wp|Oricon}} magazine, [[Eri Kitamura]] spoke a little about her vision for Nemona: for her, although Nemona is a veteran {{pkmn|Trainer}}, her willingness to battle means that other people do not see her as a mature Trainer.<ref>https://twitter.com/oricon_anime_/status/1785972504659468395</ref>
* When {{Tera}}stallizing her Pokémon, Nemona uses the phrase (Japanese: '''輝け！輝け！私の最高の宝物！''' ''Shine! Shine! My greatest treasure!'').

The '''Azoth Kingdom''' (Japanese: '''アゾット王国''' ''Azoth Kingdom'') is an {{pkmn|animated series}}-exclusive location in [[Kalos]] and one of the settings of ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]''.

It is a mechanical kingdom that was built by [[Nikola]] using arcane science and arts. The city has many large cogs and gears which power many inventions, including escalators, moving roads, and various transportation devices. Surrounding the kingdom is a large wall that defends the kingdom. Part of the wall can separate from the rest of the kingdom and convert itself into a floating fortress, which was designed to be used in times of emergency. However, the fortress was eventually sealed off due to an uprising about who would control that power. In the events of the movie, [[Alva]] stole the {{a|Soul-Heart}} from {{OBP|Magearna|M19}} and used it to power up the fortress.

Five hundred years ago, Nikola also built Magearna, who acted as the princess's playmate and also protected the princess and the kingdom. However, rather than bringing happiness, the power was abused to incite war and hatred. As a result, Nikola hid Magearna so that it could not be found by anyone.

The current prince of Azoth Kingdom is [[Raleigh]] and the current princess is [[Kimia]], both descendants of Nikola.

Laqua

'''Laqua''' (Japanese: '''ラクア''' ''Rakua'') is an {{pkmn|animated series}}-exclusive location in the [[Pokémon world]]. It is a mysterious Pokémon paradise told in fairytales and also the only place where the [[Laquium]] crystals can be found. It is located at the top of [[Mount Pericarp]], the "place where the land meets the sky".

As of ''[[HZ089|Where the Adventure Leads]]'', Laqua's existence has become publicly known thanks to media manipulation orchestrated by [[Spinel]].

==History==
===Pre-series===
At some point in the past, a meteorite fell from space and crashed on the top of [[Mount Pericarp]], creating a huge crater where a special chemical reaction occurred, creating Laquium. Thanks to the energy generated by the Laquium, the bountiful environment of Laqua was eventually created. Overtime, fairytales started being told about Laqua, being known as the "Pokémon paradise".
[[File:Laqua Pidgeotto.png|250px|thumb|left|The [[Explorers]] travelling through Laqua]]
100 years prior to the events of the series, the [[Explorers]] [[Lucius]], [[Gibeon]], and [[Rystal]] had the goal to reach the Pokémon paradise named Laqua. After a long journey, the trio reached the Laqua, a beautiful paradise where all Pokémon, even [[Legendary Pokémon]], lived peacefully. Wondering how such a prosperous environment was created, they explored further in and discovered some pink crystals known as Laquium, which stimulated the growth of the plants around it, so much actually that it started devastating the land.
[[File:Pagogo seals Laqua.png|250px|thumb|right|[[Pagogo]] and the [[Six Heroes]] sealing the [[Laquium]] in a giant barrier]]
Lucius and Rystal then decided to leave Laqua, worried that the crystal could influence them. However, Gibeon disagreed and started using his [[White Zygarde|Zygarde]] to dig the crystals out, fascinated by their powers, but the crystals started to expand and spread its mist around, causing many [[wild Pokémon]] to go feral. Fearing they might bring the destruction of the world, Lucius called to his Six Heroes to stop it and even Gibeon's Zygarde tried to help. Gibeon fell into a crack created by the crystals, but Lucius and Rystal refused to give up: in response, [[Pagogo]] changed into its {{Form|Terapagos|Stellar Form}} and passed some of its [[Terastal energy|energy]] to the Six Heroes so all of them could seal the Laquium away inside a giant shield. Lucius remained trapped inside it, while Rystal was able to leave Laqua and raised their {{OBP|Layla|Horizons|daughter}} on her own.

After surviving his fall thanks to the monarch, Gibeon reformed the Explorers to return to Laqua and take control of the Laquium there. He had also established their headquarters on Mount Pericarp so they could observe Laqua.

==={{aniseries|HZ}}===
The [[Explorers]]' [[journey]] to Laqua inspired many legends of the "[[Lucius|Ancient Adventurer]]" and his [[Six Heroes]] reaching a legendary "Pokémon paradise".

Laqua was first mentioned, albeit not by name, in ''[[HZ012|The Future I Choose]]''. It was part of the book [[Alex]] wrote about Lucius, describing it as a paradise sought by the Ancient Adventurer and his Pokémon, which they ultimately found and lived happily together in.
[[File:Laqua Ancient Adventurer Book.png|250px|thumb|left|Lucius and the [[Six Heroes]] in Laqua as depicted in [[Alex]]'s book]]
Laqua was briefly mentioned by Lucius in ''[[HZ023|Fiery Galarian Moltres]]'' in a vision created by the [[Pagogo|unnamed Pokémon]] in Liko's pendant, comforting his {{TP|Lucius|Moltres}} before disappearing and leaving her wondering what it was.

In ''[[HZ024|Reunion at the Ancient Castle!]]'', [[Diana]] revealed that Laqua is the name of the paradise that Lucius was looking for and that at some point {{an|Terapagos}} was with Lucius on this journey. It was implied that Terapagos may know where Laqua is located, as it jumped off the couch and headed towards the door after [[Liko]] mentioned the name, as if to go find it.

In ''[[HZ026|Terapagos's Adventure]]'', Terapagos expressed its desire to find Laqua. Liko, understanding its feelings, brought the idea up to the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]]. They agreed to embark on this mission, but in order to complete it, needed to seek out the rest of the Six Heroes, the six Pokémon that accompanied Lucius in his adventure.

In ''[[HZ032|Lapras's Feelings for its Friends]]'', it was revealed that Lucius's Pokémon made a promise with him to reunite again and that Lucius became one with Laqua.

In ''[[HZ034|Respective Departures]]'', it was revealed that the [[Explorers]]' goal is also to find Laqua.

In ''[[HZ054|The Treasure of Eternity]]'', it was revealed that [[Gibeon]] wanted to go to Laqua in order to find more [[Laquium]], mysterious crystals that produce a pink mist similar to the mist seen in {{p|Terapagos}}'s vision. Additionally, he told [[Amethio]] that Terapagos was the key to the paradise's gate and that he should seize it once it "awakens".

In ''[[HZ057|The Terapagos I Don't Know]]'', [[Raifort]] mentioned that she had read about Laqua in a history book. According to legends, it was 100 days and 100 nights away from Paldea and covered in shades of pink. Over time, it became a legend and fell into oblivion.
[[File:Explorers Rising Volt Tacklers Laqua.png|thumb|right|250px|The [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] encountering the [[Explorers]]]]
In ''[[HZ071|Encounters at the Crystal Pool]]'', Liko explained to [[Briar]] that she wanted to know more about Terapagos because it was related to Lucius, the Six Heroes, and Laqua.

In ''[[HZ075|The Wonders of the World!]]'', after [[Rystal]] was summoned at the [[Crystal Pool]], she told the story of the original Explorers, including their last adventure in Laqua, to the Rising Volt Tacklers and [[Diana]]. After the end of the story, [[Friede]] asked her where Laqua is, though she didn't know since Lucius's Rayquaza was the one who took them there. However, Friede was determined that they could find it on their own.

In ''[[HZ081|The Pillar of Fire]]'', Pagogo showed a flashback of Rystal and Lucius ready to find Laqua after forming the Six Heroes. In ''[[HZ082|Beyond the Shining Rainbow]]'', after Rayquaza joined the Rising Volt Tacklers and Pagogo regained all of its power, a flashback showed Lucius, Gibeon, and Rystal, along with their Pokémon, ready to enter Laqua. Afterwards, the group returned to the [[Brave Olivine]] and started following Rayquaza and Pagogo to the paradise.

In ''[[HZ083|The Truth Revealed!]]'', the Rising Volt Tacklers arrived at [[Pericarp Town]] as Rayquaza flew off to the top of the [[Mount Pericarp|mountain]]. In ''[[HZ084|Where the Land Meets the Sky]]'', Liko, Roy, Dot, and Friede asked for information around town and learned that after the Explorers split up, the sun was blotted out, but after it reappeared, a [[Gibeon|long-haired scholar]] was found and treated by the {{OBP|matriarch|HZ084}}'s mother. After that, the group started making their way to Laqua, atop the mountain as Pagogo summoned each of the Six Heroes to aid them with the obstacles in their way.
[[File:OPJ32 Rotom Photo HZ088.png|170px|thumb|left|[[Liko]], [[Roy]], [[Dot]], and [[Amethio]] battling the [[White Zygarde]]]]
In ''[[HZ085|The Pokémon Paradise of Laqua!]]'', after the Rising Volt Tacklers reached Laqua, the Black Rayquaza returned to its Poké Ball to rest after flying for so long as the group began exploring the area. On the next day, they found the barrier that was used to seal the Laquium, completely covered in moss and rocks. The barrier was broken by Pagogo and Liko returned it to its Poké Ball to rest. This allowed Friede to go on ahead to make sure it was safe for the younger members. However, Friede and Liko, Roy and Dot were confronted by the Explorers. In the [[HZ086|next episode]], [[Chalce]], [[Sidian]], and [[Coral]] revealed to the trio that the they actually knew Laqua's location all along and established their headquarters on Pericarp Mountain to observe it. As the trios battled each other, Friede battled [[Spinel]], which ended with the victory of the Rising Volt Tacklers, however, this allowed Gibeon to reach the Laquium and spread out its mist.

In ''[[HZ087|Guided by the Black Rayquaza!]]'', Gibeon started digging out Laquium to reach its core underground. Amethio and the Rising Volt Tacklers tried to stop him, but he only did when the Laquium Zygarde dug out broke away, revealing Lucius, who was still alive inside of it. He explains the plan he made with Rayquaza and Zygarde to destroy the Laquium with the help of Pagogo and the Rising Volt Tacklers, but Gibeon refuses to allow it. The other Explorers start using machine to activate the Laquium core and Gibeon convinces Zygarde to fight for his sake one last time, Pagogo starts gathering the power of the Six Heroes into itself to purify the Laquium, while Liko, Roy, Dot, and Amethio face Gibeon.
[[File:Laqua locked.png|250px|thumb|Laqua after being locked down by [[Exceed]]]]
In ''[[HZ088|The Earthshaking White Zygarde]]'', the quartet worked together to defeat Zygarde and after Liko's Floragato evolved into Meowscarada and dealt enough damage, Zygarde forfeitted the battle and abandoned Gibeon, giving the victory to the heroes now that Gibeon can't battle anymore. After his defeat, Pagogo was finally ready and flew above the Laquium alongside the Six Heroes before transforming into its Stellar Form. In ''[[HZ089|Where the Adventure Leads]]'', Pagogo and the Six Heroes finally erased all Laquium in Laqua. After his defeat, Gibeon finally learns the errors of his way thanks to both Lucius and Amethio. Due to the lack of Laquium, both Lucius and Gibeon started vanishing, but they were able say goodbye to the others before leaving to the afterlife, where they'll be able to see Rystal again. After Gibeon's death, Spinel takes over as the new leader of the Explorers and uses his Laquium Sphere to force the Six Heroes (except Rayquaza) to go berserk. The six started fighting each other, causing a great destruction to Laqua as a result, which forces the Rising Volt Tacklers and Amethio to escape. One year later, Spinel, who's now the leader of the Explorers and [[Exceed]] has completely taken over Laqua and lied to the public that the damage there was caused by the Rising Volt Tacklers.

In [[HZ133]], the Rising Volt Tacklers and their allies return to Laqua to reach the Laquium core and have Pagogo destroy it along with all the remaining Laquium.

==Geography==
[[File:Laqua withered area.png|thumb|250px|right|The withered forest of Laqua]]
Laqua is a vast, beautiful land with a bountiful environment located at the top of [[Mount Pericarp]], known by the inhabitants of [[Pericarp Town]] as the "place where the land meets the sky", being so high up that many clouds and rainbows appear around it. Such appearance gave it the title of "Pokémon paradise". It is composed of a huge forest, mountain, and a grassy plain, with rivers, bushes, and trees that grow giant [[berries]]. It was completly untouched by [[human]]s.

Thanks to the bountiful land of Laqua, it has become the home of many different [[wild]] {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, which includes even [[Legendary Pokémon]]. There, they live together in harmony, they aren't scared nor bothered by the presence of humans, remain peaceful even around their natural [[Pokémon predation|predators or preys]], and even the most temperamental of the Pokémon remain peaceful. [[Friede]] also says that Laqua is full of a special energy that attracts Pokémon there. Deeper in the forest, there is a much rougher area, full of gigantic, grayed out trees. According to [[Gibeon]], this area flourished just as much as the others, but it seems that it had suddenly withered away.

Even deeper into the forest, there's a gray, withered area, but to a much worse state than the previous one. All plants there are completly grayed out and dead. At the center of the area, there's a huge cluster of [[Laquium]], special crystals that hold an astounding amount of energy. It's thanks to that energy that Laqua is so bountiful, however, further exposure to that energy can cause Pokémon to go feral and the plants to grow so much that they wither away. In ''[[HZ087|Guided by the Black Rayquaza!]]'', [[Lucius]] reveals that Laquium isn't originally from the Pokémon world, which implies it somehow landed there and created the Laqua paradise. Due to Gibeon's meddling with the crystals, the Laquium started expanding out and spreading its mist all over Laqua, destroying its environment and driving Pokémon berserk. Thanks to [[Pagogo]] and the [[Six Heroes]], the spreading of the Laquium and its mist was stopped, being sealed within a giant protective barrier, saving Laqua and the world from destruction.

In ''[[HZ085|The Pokémon Paradise of Laqua!]]'', Pagogo removed the barrier and in ''[[HZ086|The Rising Volt Tacklers vs. The Explorers!]]'', Gibeon reached the Laquium and forced it to start expanding and spread out its mist once again, which caused even more damage to Laqua. In ''[[HZ089|Where the Adventure Leads]]'', Pagogo and the Six Heroes finally purified all of the Laquium there, but Lucius claimed that Laqua won't end, even without Laquium, all thanks to the flourishing system that was established there. In the same episode, [[Spinel]] took possession of Laqua for the Explorers, but he also used his Laquium Sphere to force the Six Heroes (except [[Black Rayquaza|Rayquaza]]) to go berserk, who started battling each other, which caused even more destruction across the Pokémon paradise. Due to the destruction caused by Spinel's horrifying actions, many of the Pokémon that lived in Laqua started fleeing the paradise for their own safety. One year after those events, Spinel claims that the environment there had begun to heal, but in [[HZ133]] it was revealed to be a complete lie, as the environment was still damaged and all the native Pokémon had since abandoned Laqua, leaving it uninhabited.

'''Hamber''' (Japanese: '''ハンベル''' ''Hambel''<ref>Explorers Original Acrylic Stand</ref>) was the second-in-command of the [[Explorers]], as well as [[Gibeon]]'s personal butler. He is a former major antagonist in {{aniseries|HZ}}.

After Gibeon passed away in ''[[HZ089|Where the Adventure Leads]]'', he was lowered in position and started acting as a double agent against the new leader [[Spinel]] alongside [[Zirc]] and [[Onia]] to help Amethio. He has since become an ally of the Rising Volt Tacklers.

==History==
===Pre-series===
[[File:Young Hamber.png|250px|thumb|left|Younger Hamber alongside [[Diana]]]]
Years prior to the series, Hamber was an adventurer and became friends with another one, [[Diana]], even travelling together sometimes. However, they became estranged to each other as time went on. Sometime after moving away from Diana, Hamber became lost and aimless in his path as an adventurer, but he met [[Gibeon]], who guided Hamber and persuaded him to join the [[Explorers]]. In gratitude for Gibeon's guidance, Hamber became one of Gibeon's most loyal subordinates.

Hamber was also in charge of taking care of Gibeon's young grandson, [[Amethio]], after the death of [[Maria (Horizons)|the boy's mother]]. Hamber and Amethio became very close, with Amethio considering Hamber a father figure. As a high-ranking member of the Explorers, Hamber became responsible for finding and training new talent for the organization. He first trained and coached Amethio, then found [[Coral]], [[Sidian]], and [[Chalce]] and coached each of them in sequence. In ''[[HZ104|Charcadet's Wish]]'', it was revealed that Hamber personally assigned [[Zirc]] and [[Onia]] in their early days as Explorers to act alongside Amethio.

At some point in the past, he told his boss about a mysterious [[Pagogo|pendant]] that his friend Diana possessed. Hamber returned to her, wanting to introduce Diana to Gibeon, who he said had the answers she was looking for. However, Diana saw through his words, as Hamber bringing along a group of subordinates immediately signaled to her that Hamber was working for an organization who was after the pendant, and she subsequently escaped. Later, Hamber found out that Diana no longer possessed the pendant as she gave it to her granddaughter, [[Liko]]. Upon learning this, he forged a letter written under Diana's name and sent Amethio, alongside his two subordinates Zirc and Onia, to visit Liko at [[Indigo Academy]] with the intention of having her hand over the pendant.

==={{aniseries|HZ}}===
Hamber first appeared in ''[[HZ004|The Treasure After the Storm!]]'', communicating with [[Amethio]] regarding [[Liko]]'s pendant.

[[HZ006|After]] Amethio's mission to [[Roy's hometown]], Hamber appeared along with the admins of the Explorers at a meeting with [[Gibeon]]. When Amethio and [[Spinel]] began to argue, Hamber reminded the two that they were in the presence of their leader and after the group left the place, Hamber spoke with Gibeon about his boss's goals.

In ''[[HZ016|Quaxly, We Can Do It]]'', Hamber showed up at another meeting with the Explorers Admins to hear Spinel's briefing on his mission. After Spinel refused to give complete information, Hamber decided to end the meeting.

In ''[[HZ024|Reunion at the Ancient Castle!]]'', Hamber received Amethio's report on his unit's unsanctioned activity pursuing the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] in [[Galar]]. Upon learning of the mysterious Pokémon that had emerged from the pendant, Hamber recruited [[Coral]] and [[Sidian]] to accompany him to the [[region]], as he wished to see it directly for himself. In the [[HZ025|next episode]], Hamber told Coral and Sidian to stay behind until he needed them. Hamber then reunited with Diana as he tried to prevent her escape, but failed. After the Rising Volt Tacklers escaped, Hamber reported to Gibeon.

In ''[[HZ027|As Long as I'm with My Friends]]'', Hamber and the other Admins met to discuss their next objective. Following Amethio's suggestion, Hamber and others discussed the possibility of going after [[Lucius]]'s mysterious {{p|Rayquaza}}, but the meeting ended without a consensus.

In ''[[HZ033|Roar of the Black Rayquaza]]'', Hamber was asked by Amethio to train him to become stronger following a defeat at the hands of the [[Black Rayquaza]], a request that Hamber accepted.
[[File:Hamber Vs Amethio HZ034.png|left|250px|thumb|Hamber training with [[Amethio]]]]
In ''[[HZ034|Respective Departures]]'', following a conversation with Gibeon, Hamber had a {{pkmn|battle}} with Amethio, with the former using his {{p|Dusknoir}} to face off against [[Amethio's Ceruledge]]. Although evenly matched, Ceruledge started to overpower Dusknoir, only for Hamber to pull out a [[Tera Orb]] and {{Tera}}stallize Dusknoir and win the battle. After the battle, Hamber handed Amethio a Tera Orb.

In ''[[HZ045|From So Far Away]]'', Hamber met with the other Explorers to hear the new objectives imposed by Gibeon. After the end of the meeting, he stayed with Amethio while the other team members left the meeting room.

In ''[[HZ054|The Treasure of Eternity]]'', Hamber accompanied Amethio in a personal meeting with Gibeon and, after leaving the place, he showed satisfaction with Amethio's progress in searching for [[Laqua]]'s location.

In ''[[HZ065|Liko and Amethio]]'', Hamber and the other Admins gathered at the Explorers HQ, where they discussed some footage Spinel presented of Amethio helping Liko escape from a cave. Hamber agreed to hear Amethio out, but before he could provide an explanation, Gibeon interrupted. Declaring Amethio a traitor for aiding the enemy, Gibeon casted his grandson out of the Explorers.

In ''[[HZ067|Shine on, Terastallization! Liko vs. Roy!]]'', Hamber was mentioned during a report from [[Chalce]] to Spinel. According to her, Hamber began to suspect the events that led to Amethio's expulsion and began investigating what happened.

In ''[[HZ079|Over the Top!]]'', Hamber tasked Coral and Sidian with entering [[Area Zero]] to spy on the Rising Volt Tacklers. While Coral was initially displeased with not getting to battle, he got her to comply, complimenting Coral on her bold power of adaptability and Sidian on his composed power of judgment and how their strengths and skills would be vital for the mission.
[[File:Hamber Zygarde Cube HZ092.png|250px|thumb|Hamber entrusting the Zygarde Cube to Zirc and Onia]]
In ''[[HZ083|The Truth Revealed!]]'', Hamber rescued Amethio, Zirc, and Onia, and returned their Pokémon to them after they were caught by Spinel's security guards. At [[Amethio's mansion]], Hamber informed the group of how he met and worked for Gibeon, how he mentored and trained Amethio, Coral, Sidian, and Chlace, with Spinel as the exception, as well as talking about Gibeon's past with Lucius and [[Rystal]], from his boss' point of view. He expressed similar views to Amethio in suspecting Spinel of intending to betray Gibeon to steal the [[Laquium]] crystals for himself. He then bid the group farewell as they headed to Laqua.

In ''[[HZ092|Following Traces of Laquium]]'', one year after the events in Laqua, Hamber revealed that he received a report from Spinel, who had become the president of Exceed, that Amethio had betrayed Gibeon and that both of them had died in Laqua. Hamber did not believe Spinel's report, however, and secretly entrusted Amethio's subordinates, Zirc and Onia, with a mission to find Amethio and the White Zygarde, entrusting them with a [[Zygarde Cube]] and the lone Zygarde Cell to do so.

In ''[[HZ104|Charcadet's Wish]]'', Hamber was informed that Amethio was safe and well. Happy with the news, Hamber began to cry, unaware that he was being monitored by Chalce.

In ''[[HZ107|Friends as Two, Me and You]]'', it was revealed that Hamber and Diana reconciled on their own terms. After capturing a [[wild Pokémon]] together, Hamber revealed to Diana what he knew about Spinel's plans, such as the whereabouts of the [[Six Heroes]]. Together, they agreed that the key to defeating Spinel's plans laid with Amethio and Liko, who carried Gibeon and Lucius's dreams within them. Later, in a conversation with Chalce, Spinel revealed that he knew all of Hamber's movements and that one of his goals was to put an end to all possible threats to his plans. In the [[HZ108|following episode]], it was revealed that Hamber contacted Diana again, but was unable to go much further because Hamber realized he was being spied on.

In ''[[HZ110|The Six Heroes Unleashed!]]'', Hamber met [[Dot]] of the Rising Volt Tacklers and requested her help in rescuing Cervantis, who had been imprisoned by the Explorers. When the duo was confronted by Chalce, Hamber intended to battle her but backed down when Chalce reminded him of the consequences of taking up arms against her: expulsion from the Explorers, which would leave him unable to continue acting as a double agent for Amethio. Hamber briefly questioned Chalce's motives, bringing up her title as a teacher, leaving her emotionally shaken and leading her to reveal that she is merely cooperating with Spinel as a necessary end for her own goal. After Dot defeated Chalce in battle herself, she and Hamber were able to rescue Cervantis. In the [[HZ111|next episode]], Hamber, Dot and Cervantis reached the [[Explorers base]] near [[Manpūku Town]] too late to save Amethio, Liko, [[Roy]], and [[Ult]] from being decisively defeated by five of the Six Heroes under [[Indi]] and [[Rubina]]'s control. Once the battle concluded, Amethio and Cervantis repaired their relationship, much to Hamber's approval. Hamber then decided to accompany Amethio and Cervantis in their search for more Zygarde Cells, and bid farewell to Liko's group for the time being.

Hamber reappeared in a flashback in [[HZ123]], where the events that led to him becoming Diana's traveling companion again were detailed. During the flashback, it was revealed that together they collaborated to liberate a village in [[Kitakami]] from the problems caused by a wild {{p|Pecharunt}}.

Hamber was mentioned by Amethio in [[HZ124]], where he revealed that Hamber had passed on to him all the information regarding [[Briar]]'s research to eliminate Laquium.

In [[HZ130]], Hamber traveled to the Explorers HQ at [[Mount Pericarp]]. He attempted to convince Chalce, Coral, and Sidian to turn against Spinel, showing his concern about the [[Strong Sphere]]s destroying bonds between Trainers and Pokémon, but to no avail, resulting in a battle of Hamber against the three of his former students. Despite the use of {{m|Trick Room}} and dominating most of the battle, Hamber's Dusknoir and {{form|Rotom|Mow}} {{p|Rotom}} were defeated by Chalce's {{p|Medicham}}. Hamber then revealed his newly caught {{form|Ursaluna|Bloodmoon}} {{p|Ursaluna}}, which he met and battled in Kitakami. Ursaluna managed to defeat Coral's {{p|Glalie}} and Sidian's {{p|Garganacl}}, leaving Medicham on its own. After Chalce's surprising use of [[Mega Evolution]], however, Ursaluna was defeated by Mega Medicham. Hamber noted how Chalce's use of Mega Evolution showed she still trusts in the bonds between her and her Pokémon, still trying to convince her to turn against Spinel once more, but she still ignored his pleas. Hamber managed to escape from being captured afterwards, thanks to Ursaluna, commenting how it was now up to Amethio and his allies to deal with the looming threat at hand.

In [[HZ132]], Diana revealed that Hamber was responsible for rebuilding her castle after the destruction caused by the Explorers [[HZ025|some time ago]].

==Character==
[[File:Hamber Eye.png|250px|left|thumb|Hamber's open eye]]
Hamber is a loyal and respectful servant of the [[Explorers]]' leader [[Gibeon]], who he credits with giving him direction in life as a younger man. He is close enough to Gibeon to have acted as the personal butler for Gibeon's family, and became a father figure to Gibeon's grandson [[Amethio]] following the death of [[Maria (Horizons)|the boy's mother]] and estrangement from his father [[Cervantis]]. In ''[[HZ104|Charcadet's Wish]]'', it was shown that Hamber genuinely cares for Amethio like a parent beyond their roles in the Explorers, to the point of being quite emotional about Amethio's well-being when he discovered that he was safe and well. This role of trusted servant is reflected in his work as the Explorers' second in command under Gibeon, often acting as a surrogate leader in Gibeon's stead.
[[File:Young Amethio and Hamber.png|150px|thumb|Younger [[Amethio]] alongside Hamber]]
Hamber is also a skilled {{pkmn|Trainer}}, possesses a [[Tera Orb]], and was responsible for training not only Amethio but [[Coral]], [[Sidian]], and [[Chalce]], who he found and recruited into the Explorers on Gibeon's behalf. He is stern on his subordinates when they behave improperly in Gibeon's presence, but still generally shows concern for their well-being during dangerous operations. Some of the other Explorers members have observed his more apparent closeness to Amethio, which goes as far as training extensively with him and giving him a Tera Orb of his own. While he is particularly close with Amethio, he has also been observant of his other three subordinates, recognizing and respecting their talents and skills. He has at one point complimented Coral and Sidian on their respective strengths, namely Coral's boldness and adaptability and Sidian's composure and judgment, and additionally remarked on how Chalce has changed since she began working with [[Spinel]].

Despite his loyalty to Gibeon, Hamber still retains a sense of curiosity from his past as an adventurer and is willing to indulge it at times. This was seen in ''[[HZ024|Reunion at the Ancient Castle!]]'', in which he traveled to [[Galar]] himself to investigate {{an|Terapagos}}'s appearance instead of reporting Amethio's unsanctioned actions to Gibeon. Hamber may also decide to act against Gibeon's direct orders if he judges that doing so is in Gibeon's best interest; when Amethio, who had been suspended from all missions by Gibeon, was caught spying on Spinel's research at [[Exceed]], Hamber rescued him. Instead of punishing him or reporting him to Gibeon, Hamber instead brought him, along with [[Zirc]] and [[Onia]], to [[Amethio's mansion|Amethio's childhood home]] and told them about Gibeon's past, motivating them to go to [[Laqua]] and try to intervene in Gibeon's mission before Spinel could take advantage of it.

Hamber does not share the same sense of loyalty to his new leader, Spinel, as he did with Gibeon. This is noted in the fact that Spinel was the only admin during Gibeon's tenure that he had never personally trained, creating a lack of familiarity and less trust between them, along with Spinel's attempts to constantly frame Amethio for various incriminating events, which Hamber had never believed due to the time he spent with Amethio. Hamber secretly acts behind Spinel's back as a result, taking actions such as recruiting Zirc and Onia as fellow double agents against Spinel within the Explorers, or reconciling with [[Diana]] and sharing updated Explorers intel with her as his form of recompense for her granddaughter [[Liko]] helping them find Amethio. For his own part, Spinel expected disloyalty from the individual who acted as Gibeon's second-in-command and Amethio's sympathetic ear and is secretly having Hamber's actions monitored.

Calm and collected he may be at all times though, he isn't completely immune to being surprised, having reacted with comedic shock upon hearing from Diana that Pecharunt sees him like the old man who raised it back then. The event also shows him to a little bit sensitive at the mention of his old age.

In ''[[HZ034|Respective Departures]]'', Hamber used Dusknoir in a {{pkmn|training}} {{pkmn|battle}} with [[Amethio]], during which it was revealed that Dusknoir could {{Tera}}stallize into a {{t|Ghost}} [[type]]. With this great power, Dusknoir was able to defeat [[Amethio's Ceruledge]].

As revealed in a flashback in [[HZ123]], Dusknoir teamed up with Diana's {{p|Arcanine}} to battle a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Pecharunt}} near [[Mossui Town]], ultimately ending with Diana catching the [[Mythical Pokémon]] for herself.

'''Zirc''' (Japanese: '''ジル''' ''Gilles''<ref name="Zir" />) is a member of the [[Explorers]] and a former supporting antagonist in {{aniseries|HZ}}. He is also [[Amethio]]'s subordinate alongside [[Onia]]. After Amethio's disappearance, he and Onia started acting as double agents against [[Spinel]].

==In animation==
===History===
====Pre-series====
As revealed in ''[[HZ104|Charcadet's Wish]]'', at some point prior to ''[[HZ001|The Pendant That Starts It All (Part One)]]'', Zirc alongside [[Onia]] joined the Explorers after being recruited by [[Hamber]], who assigned him to serve as [[Amethio]]'s direct subordinate. At first, Zirc was less than pleased about having to serve a child, but as he and Amethio continued working together, Zirc came to genuinely respect him and pledged loyalty to him.

===={{aniseries|HZ}}====
Zirc debuted in ''[[HZ001|The Pendant That Starts It All (Part One)]]'' alongside the other members of the [[Explorers]]. Zirc was the first one to find [[Liko]] and her {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}} after they tried to escape and confronted them with his {{p|Rhydon}}, only for it to be subdued by Sprigatito's aroma. When [[Friede]] from the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] swoop in to defend Liko, [[Amethio]] stopped him and [[Onia]] from assisting. After Friede escaped with Liko in the [[HZ002|next episode]], him and the rest of the Explorers gave chase, broke through the [[Brave Olivine|airship]]'s defenses, and threatened Liko to give herself up. Friede stopped them from leaving and battled Amethio once more, but they managed to escape after Liko's Sprigatito unleashed a {{m|Leafage}} strong enough to break the forcefield around the battlefield, taking it as a hostage in the process.

In ''[[HZ003|For Sure! 'Cause Sprigatito's with Me!]]'', Zirc kept an eye on the Brave Olivine whilst most of the members of the Rising Volt Tacklers were searching for Sprigatito. Unseen by [[Ludlow]] who remained onboard the Brave Olivine [[fishing]], Zirc was able to place an unknown device on the ship.

As of ''[[HZ006|The Ancient Poké Ball]]'', after leaving without a mission to complete, that was now given by [[Spinel]], Zirc decided to follow Amethio in order to discover more about the {{Shiny|Black}} [[Black Rayquaza|Rayquaza]] that was summoned from [[Roy]]'s ancient [[Poké Ball]].

In ''[[HZ021|The Lonely Hatenna]]'', Zirc with Amethio and Onia arrived in the [[Galar]] [[region]] in order to investigate the [[Galar Mine]]. In the [[HZ022|next episode]], Zirc and his team arrived at the Galar Mine where they came across Roy, Liko, and Friede and they battled them. However, the two groups witnessed a {{rf|Galarian}} {{TP|Lucius|Moltres}} that had an Ancient Poké Ball arrive and attack them. Seeing how powerful Moltres was, Zirc and Onia retreated from their battle against Roy and Liko. In the [[HZ023|following episode]], the two reunited with Amethio and agreed to help him get the {{an|Terapagos|Pokémon}} that was in Liko's pendant.

[[File:Onia Zirc disguise HZ083.png|250px|left|thumb|Zirc and [[Onia]] disguised as [[Exceed]] employees]]
In ''[[HZ024|Reunion at the Ancient Castle!]]'', Zirc, Amethio, and Onia reported their findings to [[Hamber]]. Later, they followed Liko, Roy, and Friede to the [[old castle]] in [[Hammerlocke]] and surrounded them in order to take the Pokémon away. In the [[HZ025|next episode]], Zirc tried to prevent Roy and Liko's escape, but failed. However, he was able to find Roy and Liko again, so he and Onia forced them to battle. During the battle, Zirc and Onia retreated once he noticed the {{m|Salt Cure}} [[move]] from [[Sidian]]'s {{p|Garganacl}} on the castle's [[wild Pokémon]].

In ''[[HZ033|Roar of the Black Rayquaza]]'', Zirc, Amethio, and Onia were able to locate Rayquaza. Amethio told his subordinates to remain on standby whilst he went to confront it.

After Amethio's battle against Black Rayquaza in ''[[HZ045|From So Far Away]]'', Zirc appeared with Onia to check if Amethio was okay, then the group returned to the Explorers' base.

In ''[[HZ054|The Treasure of Eternity]]'', it was revealed that Zirc and Onia were spying on Spinel under Amethio's orders.
[[File:Onia and Zirc HZ087.png|250px|thumb|Zirc and Onia helping [[Liko]], [[Roy]], and [[Dot]] against their fellow [[Explorers]]]]
In ''[[HZ068|Into a New Sky! The Brave Olivine!]]'', following Amethio's temporary ban from the Explorers, Amethio informed Zirc and Onia that he was planning on going on a mission on his own. Showing loyalty to Amethio, Zirc and Onia insisted on accompanying him.

In ''[[HZ083|The Truth Revealed!]]'', Zirc, Amethio, and Onia infiltrated the Exceed building to uncover what Spinel was scheming, only to end up captured by security. They were freed by Hamber, who took them to [[Amethio's mansion]] and told them about Gibeon's past and his association with [[Laqua]]. Believing Spinel was manipulating Gibeon in order to obtain the [[Laquium]] himself, Amethio set for Laqua with Zirc and Onia by his side.

In ''[[HZ087|Guided by the Black Rayquaza!]]'', after arriving in Laqua, Zirc and Onia helped Liko, Roy, and [[Dot]] get past [[Coral]], [[Sidian]], and [[Chalce]], who were guarding where the Laquium was hidden. Though fearful of their superiors' wrath, Zirc and Onia stood by their decision and were prepared to face whatever punishment they received.

In ''[[HZ089|Where the Adventure Leads]]'', when Laqua began collapsing due to Spinel's actions, Zirc and Onia returned to Amethio and convinced him to flee the area with them.

In ''[[HZ092|Following Traces of Laquium]]'', a year after the events at Laqua, Zirc and Onia had become separated from their boss Amethio, whose whereabouts were unknown. Hamber, not believing Spinel's report that Amethio had betrayed Gibeon and that both had died in Laqua, secretly entrusted Zirc and Onia with a mission to find him as well as the White Zygarde, being given a [[Zygarde Cube]] in doing so.
[[File:Zirc Ticket.png|250px|left|thumb|Zirc and his ticket for the Nidothing and Iono event]]
In ''[[HZ101|Terastallization vs. Mega Evolution!]]'', Zirc appeared with Onia somewhere at sea trying to find Amethio's whereabouts. Like Onia, he was upset about not being able to find their boss, but stated that all they could do was continue searching for him.

In ''[[HZ103|Nidothing Love!]]'', while taking a break from searching for Amethio in [[Levincia]], Onia discovered that Zirc was planning to join a handshake event hosted by Nidothing and {{an|Iono}}. The next day, as he approached the event venue, a gust of wind blew Zirc's ticket into a nearby storm drain. When Liko and her friends happened upon the depressed Zirc, they agreed to help find the ticket. They tracked the ticket to a nearby beach, where it ended up stuck on top of a wild {{p|Wugtrio}}'s head. Everyone battled Wugtrio together, giving Zirc's Rhydon the opportunity to retrieve the ticket. Later, once the event had ended, Zirc came across Nidothing without her suit, accidentally discovering her true identity was Dot. Afterward, Zirc and Onia approached Liko, where they revealed that Amethio was missing and personally asked her to assist them in finding him.

In ''[[HZ104|Charcadet's Wish]]'', after paying a visit to Amethio's mansion, Zirc, Onia, and Liko began looking for clues that would help them determine where Amethio was located. When Liko's {{TP|Liko|Charcadet}} came across one of Amethio's childhood photos, Zirc and Onia called [[Cervantis]], who explained he took the photo while on a family vacation years ago. Off the coast of Levincia, everyone found Amethio alive, but in hiding on an island to avoid being captured by Spinel's agents. Zirc and Onia begged Amethio to take Exceed and the Explorers from Spinel's grasp, but he refused, stating that with Gibeon's passing, he was powerless to do anything. With words of encouragement from Liko and a battle with her Charcadet, Amethio managed to regain the resolve to fight against Spinel's machinations. Despite this, Amethio refused to go with Zirc and Onia, stating that as members of the Explorers, there were things they could accomplish on the inside that he couldn't. Accepting this, Zirc passed on the Zygarde Cube to Amethio before leaving the island with Onia. Afterward, Zirc and Onia reported to Hamber that Amethio was safe and sound.

In [[HZ124]], Zirc joined forces with Onia and Amethio's to battle three [[Explorers]]'s {{p|Golbat}}, {{p|Marowak}}, and {{p|Shelgon}} to cause a distraction, allowing the Rising Volt Tacklers to infiltrate the Explorers HQ. Later, Amethio contacted him and Onia to watch the back of the building in case something goes wrong before Dot thanks the pair for their help causing Zirc to become slightly flustered at Dot's words and Amethio, Liko, Roy, Dot and Ult entered the HQ.

===Character===
Zirc has a cocky personality and is also shown to be ruthless and violent like a brute, Zirc obeying the orders of his superiors such as [[Amethio]] without questioning. He is also secretly a fan of [[Dot|Nidothing]] and watches her videos, where he submits questions under the username "''Rhydon's Muscles''" (Japanese: '''サイドンの筋肉''' ''{{p|Rhydon|Sidon}}'s Muscles''). He's a fan like [[Liko]] and really loves Nidothing's events, which is something he shares with his {{p|Rhydon}}. Zirc is also humble as he knows when to ask for help, as shown in ''[[HZ103|Nidothing Love!]]'', where he and [[Onia]] personally asked Liko to join them in their search to find Amethio.

Zirc is shown to be loyal to his boss, as seen in ''[[HZ068|Into a New Sky! The Brave Olivine!]]'', when he insisted on accompanying Amethio on his mission after being dismissed from the Explorers.

In ''[[HZ104|Charcadet's Wish]]'', it's revealed that he and Onia were a little judgmental of Amethio when they first met him but his perspective of Amethio changed overtime and he became completely loyal to him and wants to help him showing he cares for Amethio as a friend and superior.

===Pokémon===
This listing is of Zirc's only known {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in {{aniseries|HZ}}:

|desc={{p|Rhydon}} is Zirc's first known Pokémon and his main battler. He first used it to battle [[Liko]] and her {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}}, but it was quickly subdued due to Sprigatito's aroma.

In ''[[HZ005|Found You, Fuecoco!]]'', Rhydon was used to battle members of the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]], battling against {{TP|Murdock|Rockruff}} and {{p|Chansey}} before battling {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}}, which managed to learn Ember to take Rhydon out of the fight.

In ''[[HZ022|Charge! Galar Mine!]]'', Rhydon was sent out to battle against Liko and [[Roy]] again at the [[Galar Mine]]. When [[Lucius's Moltres]] appeared, it attacked everyone in sight and Rhydon ended up getting knocked out by its {{m|Air Slash}} attack, prompting Zirc to [[recall]] his Pokémon and flee.

In ''[[HZ024|Reunion at the Ancient Castle!]]'', Rhydon joined [[Onia]]'s {{p|Golduck}} and [[Amethio's Ceruledge]] in ambushing the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] and [[Diana]] at the [[old castle]] in [[Hammerlocke]]. In the [[HZ025|next episode]], Rhydon faced Fuecoco in a rematch and, despite getting hit with a super-effective {{m|Stomping Tantrum}}, it managed to remain standing and was about to retaliate when the battle was called off upon [[Coral]] and [[Sidian]]'s arrival, and Rhydon was promptly recalled as Zirc retreated.

In ''[[HZ083|The Truth Revealed!]]'', Rhydon, along with Zirc's {{p|Skarmory}}, as well as Onia and Amethio's Pokémon, were all confiscated by [[Spinel]]'s personal security when they infiltrated [[Exceed]], but were later retrieved by [[Hamber]], and Rhydon happily reunited with its {{pkmn|Trainer}}. It later enjoyed a meal at [[Amethio's mansion]] and confidently agreed with Zirc in regards to assisting Amethio with his decision to reach [[Laqua]].

In ''[[HZ087|Guided by the Black Rayquaza!]]'', Rhydon and Golduck attacked Coral's {{p|Glalie}}, Sidian's {{p|Garganacl}}, and [[Chalce]]'s {{p|Medicham}} with {{m|Rock Slide}} and {{m|Muddy Water}}, respectively, allowing Liko, Roy, and [[Dot]] to pass and reach [[Gibeon]].

In ''[[HZ103|Nidothing Love!]]'', Rhydon and Zirc became excited at the prospect of meeting [[Nidothing]] in [[Levincia]], but ended up losing their ticket. Thankfully, they ultimately managed to find it at the hands of a {{p|Wugtrio}}. With the help of {{p|Meowscarada}}, {{p|Crocalor}}, and Onia's Golduck, Rhydon was able to retrieve the ticket safely. Later during the Nidothing and {{an|Iono}} event, Rhydon was picked to be part of a dancing session with {{TP|Dot|Quaxwell}} that ended with Rhydon chasing Nidothing affectionately, mistaking her for an actual {{p|Nidorina}}. After the event, both Rhydon and Zirc discovered Nidothing's true identity as Dot.

In [[HZ124]], Rhydon joined forces with Onia's Golduck and Amethio's Ceruledge to battle three [[Explorers]]'s {{p|Golbat}}, {{p|Marowak}}, and {{p|Shelgon}} to cause a distraction, allowing the Rising Volt Tacklers to infiltrate the Explorers HQ.

Rhydon's known moves are {{m|Rock Blast}}, {{m|Megahorn}}, {{m|Sandstorm}}{{tt|*|mentioned only}}, and {{m|Rock Slide}}.}}

'''Ann''' (Japanese: '''アン''' ''Ann'') is a character in {{aniseries|HZ}}. She is a student at [[Indigo Academy]] and a friend and roommate of [[Liko]].

==In animation==
===History===
[[File:Liko and Ann.png|left|250px|thumb|Ann and Liko]]
Ann first appeared in ''[[HZ001|The Pendant That Starts It All (Part One)]]''. She met [[Liko]] when she arrived at the room they were sharing together. After getting the [[Pokédex]] installed on her [[Rotom Phone]], she was given {{p|Oshawott}} to be her [[first partner Pokémon]]. The next day, Ann had her first ever Pokémon battle, using Oshawott to battle against [[Liko's Sprigatito]], which was soon called off. One night, Ann spotted Liko looking at [[Diana|her grandmother]]'s pendant and asked about it.

After Liko noticed how close she and Oshawott were compared to how close she was with her Sprigatito, Ann gave her advice. When the time came for a school break, Ann headed home, leaving Liko at the academy.

Ann reappeared in ''[[HZ003|For Sure! 'Cause Sprigatito's with Me!]]'', when she spoke to Liko after she had joined the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]].

In ''[[HZ008|The Door That Never Opens]]'', Ann spoke to Liko when she attended a class online. During the conversation, the two talked about the live stream that [[Dot|Nidothing]] would do in a few hours.

In ''[[HZ021|The Lonely Hatenna]]'', she contacted Liko and revealed that she had acquired her second Pokémon in the form of her {{p|Sandshrew}}.

In ''[[HZ035|The Wild Pair, Friede and Cap!]]'', Ann spoke with Liko before class and noted that she had caught a {{TP|Liko|Hatenna}}. Ann appeared again when Liko gave her presentation for class.

In ''[[HZ046|Welcome to Naranja Academy!]]'', Ann arrived at [[Naranja Academy]], having enrolled as a temporary student to train for [[Tera Training]]. After reuniting with Liko, she met [[Roy]] and [[Dot]] and had a battle with Liko, using her {{p|Dewott}} to battle against {{p|Floragato}}. After a tough battle, Liko emerged victorious.

During her Tera Training journey, Ann received her challenge, and managed to pass her first exam.

In ''[[HZ054|The Treasure of Eternity]]'', Ann met up again with Liko and her friends and, after being introduced to {{an|Terapagos}}, she spent the day with them. During the return to Naranja Academy, Ann revealed to Liko her real feelings as a Trainer and together they arrived at [[Mesagoza]]. In the [[HZ055|next episode]], Ann stayed with Liko and her friends while they received information that they would participate in a battle against members of [[Paldea]]'s [[Elite Four]]. During the battles, Ann watched the matches with Liko. In ''[[HZ056|Liko vs. Rika! Towards the Battle's End]]'', she watched her friend and [[Katy]]'s battle against [[Rika]] alongside {{an|Nemona}} and Roy.

In ''[[HZ057|The Terapagos I Don't Know]]'', Ann was seen with the other students during [[Clavell]]'s speech that began the second part of the Training. Despite this, her Gym challenge was not revealed.
[[File:Ann vs Niko HZ066.png|250px|thumb|Ann battling Niko in the [[Tera Training Student Battle Tournament]]]]
In ''[[HZ066|Infiltrating the System! Naranja Academy in Danger!]]'', Ann participated in the [[Tera Training Student Battle Tournament]] at the Naranja Academy, where she faced [[Niko]]. In the [[HZ067|next episode]], Ann took care of Terapagos while Liko battled Roy, and during the climax of the battle, Ann joined the others in cheering for her friends. After the conclusion of Tera Training and the tournament, Ann revealed to Liko that she was returning to [[Kanto]] to continue her studies at [[Indigo Academy]] and that she would like to face Liko again when she is stronger.

Ann reappeared in a flashback in ''[[HZ085|The Pokémon Paradise of Laqua!]]''.

One year later, in ''[[HZ089|Where the Adventure Leads]]'', some time after Liko returned to Indigo Academy, Ann was heard telling her roommate that she was going to be late for class.

In ''[[HZ090|Eyes to the Skies Once Again (Part One)]]'', Ann was seen with Liko attending a class on {{DL|Type|type effectiveness}}. After the class, she went with her new and evolved {{p|Samurott}} for the second part of the class, leaving Liko in the classroom. In the past year, Ann has become one of the best students at Indigo Academy, standing out for the Selection Team, which competes for a spot in the [[Pokémon League]]. During a battle against a Trainer and her {{p|Wartortle}}, Liko discovered that Ann had received an offer to join [[Blueberry Academy]] from the institution's [[Cyrano|director]].
[[File:Ann Vs Roy HZ091.png|left|250px|thumb|Ann vs Roy]]
At night, the two talked about everything Liko had been through in the last few months, which made Liko think about her feelings after the events in [[Laqua]]. The next day, Ann talked to Liko about the offer she received and how the possibility of being in the Pokémon League was getting closer and closer. Some time later, Ann tried to defend the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] from some students, seeing that this subject still made Liko sad.

In ''[[HZ091|Eyes to the Skies Once Again (Part Two)]]'', Ann met up with Roy again when he went to the Indigo Academy to seek Liko's help. Then in the cafeteria, the three talked about what happened to the Rising Volt Tacklers and all the public manipulation that [[Exceed]] and [[Spinel]] did on top of the events in Laqua. When Liko decided to go after {{TP|Liko|Meowscarada}}, who had disappeared, Ann challenged Roy to a Pokémon battle, where, despite giving her best, Samurott was defeated by Roy's Lucario.

This battle began to draw the attention of some students at Indigo Academy because of Roy's affiliation with the Rising Volt Tacklers. After the battle, it was Liko's turn to battle and Ann served as the referee. Afterwards, Ann was approached by some students due to Roy's presence and Liko intervened and exposed that she herself is a member of the Rising Volt Tacklers, thus revealing the whole truth to those present. After Liko decided to continue traveling with Roy, Ann and Roy had a conversation about how the last year was for Liko and the three said goodbye at the bus stop. Alongside her Pokémon, Ann once again saw Liko start over, this time trying to expose the whole truth.

Ann was mentioned by Liko in ''[[HZ111|Better, Farther, Stronger!]]'', where she revealed that Ann accepted [[Cyrano]]'s invitation and became an exchange student at Blueberry Academy.

In [[HZ115]], Ann had a [[Double Battle]] with [[Lacey]], but the outcome of the battle was unknown. After reuniting with Liko, Roy, and Dot, Ann met [[Ult]] for the first time before watching Roy in a Double Battle against Nemona.

In [[HZ127]], Ann had a battle against Liko, using her Samurott to battle against [[Liko's Armarouge]]. After a tough battle, both Pokémon were defeated, resulting in a double knockout.

In [[HZ131]], Ann traveled to [[Levincia]] accompanied by {{an|Nemona}} and [[Penny]]. She revealed that in recent days she had been training with Nemona for the upcoming battle; later, Ann watched Roy's battle against [[Master Mayonnaise]] along with the others.

===Character===
[[File:Ann Nemona Penny.png|250px|thumb|Ann with Nemona and Penny]]
Ann is an energetic girl who is very extroverted. She has a habit of being messy, but is shown to be considerate, keeping her mess to herself. She expresses concern and encourages her close friend [[Liko]] to try and understand her partner Pokémon. Over time, Ann grew quite close to {{an|Nemona}} and [[Penny]], with Nemona watching Ann's battles and later being trained by Nemona herself. This was shown again later when the three decided on their own to assist the Rising Volt Tacklers.

In ''[[HZ021|The Lonely Hatenna]]'', Ann revealed that she wants to be a {{pkmn|Trainer}} that focuses on {{pkmn|battle}}s, while Liko was still figuring out her path at the time. In ''[[HZ054|The Treasure of Eternity]]'', Ann revealed that her main goal was the [[Pokémon League]].

A year later, Ann had gained significant reputation and respect within Indigo Academy. This prestige led to her receiving invitations to join other Academies, including an exchange student program in [[Blueberry Academy]] from director [[Cyrano]] himself, which she accepted before ''[[HZ111|Better, Farther, Stronger!]]''.

===Pokémon===
[[File:Ann party.png|250px|thumb|Ann and her Pokémon]]
Ann's Pokémon are very close and friendly to each other. Ann is also very attached to her Pokémon, to the point that she considers them the biggest reason she follows through on her dreams.

Despite being a beginner {{pkmn|Trainer}} like [[Liko]], her Dewott managed to stand its ground despite her Pokémon's weakness against Floragato. Ann is also a versatile Trainer, using specific [[move]]s on her Pokémon to cover their weaknesses, as analyzed by [[Rika]].

==Blurb==

When Ash Ketchum oversleeps on his 10th birthday, he ends up with a stubborn Pikachu instead of the first partner Pokémon he wanted! But after a rocky start, Ash and Pikachu become close friends and true partners—and when they catch a rare glimpse of the Legendary Pokémon Ho-Oh in flight, they make plans to seek it out together, guided by the Rainbow Wing it leaves behind.

Trainers Verity and Sorrel join Ash on his journey. Along the way, Ash catches an abandoned Charmander, raises a Pokémon from Caterpie to Butterfree and then releases it to follow its heart, and meets the mysterious Mythical Pokémon Marshadow. When they near their goal, the arrogant Cross—Charmander’s former Trainer—stands in their way! Can Ash and Pikachu defeat this powerful Trainer and reach Ho-Oh as they promised, or will their journey end here?

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}
{{OBP|Ash Ketchum|M20}}, a young boy from [[Pallet Town]], is watching a {{pkmn|battle}} between two [[Pokémon Trainer]]s, [[Neesha]] and [[Corey]], on [[television]], all while preparing to start his {{pkmn|journey}} the next day.

Later that night, Ash is asleep, dreaming about {{pkmn|training}} his {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} as he throws his alarm clock in his sleep. The next morning, Ash's mother {{DL|Delia Ketchum|I Choose You!|Delia}} wakes him up, letting him know that he'll be late to receive a Pokémon from {{DL|Professor Oak (anime)|I Choose You!|Professor Oak}}. Realizing that he overslept, Ash gets out of bed and rushes over to [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]]. When he arrives, Professor Oak tells Ash that all of the [[first partner Pokémon]] are taken, except for one. Just then, Ash spots a {{OBP|Ash's Pikachu|M20|Pikachu}} wandering around the lab and chases after it. Oak introduces Ash to the Mouse Pokémon and Ash is thrilled about Pikachu being his new Pokémon. Pikachu is not so thrilled, however, and proceeds to shock him. Delia enters the lab to give Ash his clothes and his belongings to begin his journey. After Ash gets dressed, he orders Pikachu to get in his {{i|Poké Ball}}, but Pikachu refuses, hitting it back at him. Delia says that they seem to be getting along well, and Ash agrees, saying they're best friends already. He picks Pikachu up, who shocks Ash, Delia, and Professor Oak.

While dragging Pikachu out of Pallet Town, Ash asks Pikachu if he hates him. He says that he is willing to make friends with Pikachu and tries to shake hands with him, but Pikachu still does not cooperate. Ash then spots a {{p|Pidgey}} and tries to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} it before realizing that he has to battle it to weaken it first. Unfortunately, Pikachu is still being [[Obedience|disobedient]], so Ash just attempts to hit Pidgey with a rock but hits a {{p|Spearow}} instead. The Spearow sees Pikachu laughing and since it believes that Pikachu was the one who hit it, it begins attacking him. After Pikachu hits Spearow with a {{m|Thunderbolt}} attack, Spearow calls a whole flock to attack him. Ash and Pikachu begin to flee as the Spearow catch up to Pikachu to proceed in attacking him. Ash picks Pikachu up and carries him until they are injured and tired. Ash then tells Pikachu to get inside its Ball, but it once again refuses. Instead, Pikachu defends Ash from the Spearow by summoning a large Thunderbolt that scares them away. As the storm ceases, a {{an|Ho-Oh}} flies above and drops a [[Rainbow Feather|Rainbow Wing]], which Ash catches. Ash and Pikachu make a promise to go and meet the [[Legendary Pokémon]] someday.

Ash and Pikachu continue on their journey, catching a [[Ash's Butterfree#I Choose You!|Caterpie]], having battles with other Trainers, and even challenging the [[Celadon Gym]], earning his third [[Badge]], the {{badge|Rainbow}} from [[Erika]]. The group eventually settle at a Pokémon Center, where Ash gives his mother a call. A Trainer bursts in claiming that they encountered an {{p|Entei}}, a Legendary {{type|Fire}} Pokémon, causing Ash, as well as several other Trainers, to rush into the woods to look for it. {{TRT#I Choose You!, The Power of Us, Secrets of the Jungle, and Distant Blue Sky!}}, a group of Pokémon thieves, also decide to try and catch it. Ash finds the Entei, but ends up fighting over it with a Trainer named [[Verity]], who uses a {{p|Piplup}} to try and battle it. They are also joined by an aspiring Pokémon Professor named [[Sorrel]] who uses a {{p|Lucario}} in battle. When Entei escapes, Ash and Verity get into an argument, and Sorrel leaves, telling them that they should find shelter soon. As Ash and Verity have a battle, they accidentally disturb an {{p|Onix}} that starts chasing them. They manage to get it to leave just as it begins to rain. As they look to find shelter, they find a [[Ash's Charizard#I Choose You!|Charmander]] that has been left out. They quickly learn that it belongs to a ruthless trainer named [[Cross]] who left it out in the rain. He carelessly refuses to take it back, calling it weak and abandoning it. Ash and Verity decide to find shelter.

They come across a cave where Sorrel and Lucario happen to be and help Charmander back to health. Entei and several other Pokémon arrive to sleep for the night and Ash reveals the Rainbow Wing. Sorrel reveals that Ho-Oh only gives the Wing to the "rainbow hero" who is destined to fight it, as a shadow Pokémon named {{OBP|Marshadow|M20}} watches. The next morning, Ash convinces Charmander to join them. Team Rocket follows the group, as they venture on a journey to [[Mount Tensei]] to find the Legendary Pokémon. During their travels, Caterpie evolves into a {{p|Metapod}}, Verity spots a {{p|Suicune}} and Charmander evolves into {{p|Charmeleon}}. After giving his mother a call at another Pokémon Center, Ash learns from Sorrel that the Rainbow Wing can lose its color when it is in the possession of someone with a cold heart. Eventually, while battling other Trainers in town, Ash is challenged by Cross to a Pokémon battle with his [[Ash's Charizard#I Choose You!|Charmeleon]] against his {{p|Incineroar}}. Charmeleon is savagely defeated, and Cross talks down to Ash, causing him much grief.

Still upset over his loss, Ash openly admits that he could have won with Pikachu and runs away. Pikachu follows Ash, as the two argue over Ash's behavior. He states that he wished he had gotten {{p|Bulbasaur}} or {{p|Squirtle}} as his first partner Pokémon instead of Pikachu. Ash realizes that he's all alone, as Pikachu has stopped following him. As Ash declares that he doesn't need anyone, Marshadow puts Ash in a sleep-like state as the Rainbow Wing turns dark. Ash dreams he is in a world where no Pokémon exist and where he attends regular school with his friends. Realizing that something is missing, he remembers Pikachu and wakes up to his friends, and the Wing regains its color. Sorrel shares a story of a time he lost a friend being a {{p|Luxray}}, who died protecting a young Sorrel from a snowstorm. The group is soon surrounded by some angry {{p|Primeape}}. Ash calls out his Metapod, who evolves into {{p|Butterfree}} as they escape from the pack of Primeape. They rescue a [[Pink Butterfree#I Choose You!|pink Butterfree]] from a {{p|Fearow}} and realize that Ash's Butterfree needs to mate. Ash decides to lets his Butterfree go so that it can be happy with its mate. Although Ash is sad about releasing Butterfree, he feels like he made the right decision, and that they will always be friends no matter what. The group soon spots a {{p|Raikou}} and realizes they are getting close when the Wing begins to glow in the direction of Mount Tensei.

The group makes it there and meets [[Bonji]], an old researcher who has been studying Ho-Oh for years. They make it to a crystal-like structure at Mount Tensei, with [[Jessie#I Choose You!, The Power of Us, Secrets of the Jungle, and Distant Blue Sky!|Jessie]], [[James#I Choose You!, The Power of Us, Secrets of the Jungle, and Distant Blue Sky!|James]] and {{MTR#I Choose You!, The Power of Us, Secrets of the Jungle, and Distant Blue Sky!|Meowth}} still hot on their trail. They are interrupted by Cross, who wants to fight Ho-Oh himself, as he also saw Ho-Oh, but didn't receive a wing from it. Cross's Incineroar fights Ash's Charmeleon, who quickly evolves into {{p|Charizard}} and defeats Incineroar. Cross, refusing to accept his loss, takes the Rainbow Wing away from Ash and places it on the crystal. But due to the wing being in the possession of a Trainer with a cold heart, it turns dark, causing Marshadow, as Ho-Oh's agent, to possess the wild Pokémon and Cross's Midnight Form {{p|Lycanroc}} to attack the humans. The Trainers use their Pokémon to fight back. After Charizard protects Cross from an attack, he sees the error of his ways and helps the group out, even snapping his Lycanroc out of Marshadow's control. Being weakened by Marshadow and the other Pokémon, Ash tells Pikachu to get in his Poké Ball, but Pikachu refuses because he always wants to stay by Ash's side. However, Ash finally forces him into his Poké Ball as the Pokémon attacks Ash, causing his body to disappear. In despair, Pikachu emits a large Thunderbolt attack sending Marshadow and its army flying, releasing them from the Rainbow Wing's corruption. Marshadow notices the wing has disintegrated as Pikachu continues crying out for its Trainer.

Ash finds himself in a parallel world but is brought back, presumably through Ho-Oh's power when Ash protected Pikachu. Ash and Pikachu embrace as he takes the newly formed Rainbow Wing and places it on the crystal structure. Ho-Oh arrives, healing Ash, his friends, and the Pokémon and Ash challenges it with Pikachu to battle. Later that day, the gang return to the Pokémon Center after Pikachu's battle with Ho-Oh. Back at Mount Tensei, Bonji makes a speech about Ho-Oh finding a new Trainer to leave its Wing to, as Marshadow watches. Cross leaves on good terms with the group and makes a promise to Ash that they will have a battle again someday. Eventually Ash, Verity, and Sorrel split up so they can achieve their own goals: Verity to become a famous trainer like her mother, Sorrel to find the three [[legendary birds]] of [[Kanto]], and for Ash to become a [[Pokémon Master]]. Ash and Pikachu decide to continue their journey, hoping to encounter many friends and Pokémon in the incredible world of Pokémon.

During the ending credits, {{an|Brock}}, {{an|Misty}}, {{Tracey}}, {{an|May}} and [[Max]], {{an|Dawn}}, {{an|Iris}}, {{an|Cilan}}, {{an|Clemont}} and {{an|Bonnie}}, and {{an|Serena}} are seen, while none of their officially-owned Pokémon are. Verity and Piplup are seen returning home to [[Twinleaf Town]]; Sorrel and Lucario spot an {{p|Articuno}} that Sorrel wanted to study; and Cross, Lycanroc, and Incineroar are out on their own journey. Meanwhile, Ash and Pikachu are seen traveling together, preparing to battle a wild {{p|Heracross}} while being tailed by Team Rocket in their {{DL|Team Rocket's mechas|Meowth Balloon}}. The movie ends with Ho-Oh dropping a Rainbow Wing as it flies across the sky.

==Events==
[[File:Cap Pikachu Pikashunium Z Event.png|thumb|240px|Original Cap Pikachu and the Pikashunium Z]]
{{bulbanews/4|Cap Pikachu, Pikashunium Z to be available in Japan|Marshadow, Marshadium Z to be available in Japan at 20th movie screenings|Mew, Movie 20 Pokémon codes to be available at 7-Eleven in Japan|Ho-Oh code available in this month's CoroCoro Comic}}
[[CoroCoro]] revealed that the special distribution for the movie is [[Pikachu in a cap]], which was distributed to those who pre-book tickets to the film. There are six variants for this special Pikachu, each based on one of the various [[series]] {{Ash}} was in. Regardless of variant, it came with a serial code that unlocked the special [[Pikashunium Z]], which allows Pikachu to perform the exclusive {{m|10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt}} [[Z-Move]]. In order:

* Original Cap Pikachu is distributed between April 15 and May 1;
* Hoenn Cap Pikachu is distributed between May 3 and May 15;
* Sinnoh Cap Pikachu is distributed between May 17 and May 29;
* Unova Cap Pikachu is distributed between May 31 and June 12;
* Kalos Cap Pikachu is distributed between June 14 and June 26;
* Alola Cap Pikachu is distributed between June 28 and July 17;

In addition, the Pikachu in a cap variants were redistributed at a later date post-film release. Specifically:

* Sinnoh Cap Pikachu is distributed between August 16 and August 28;

* Alola Cap Pikachu is distributed between September 27 and October 9;

The player can only redeem a pre-ticket code booklet once, but the codes themselves can be redeemed as many times as needed.

The same day the second trailer for the movie came out, it revealed that {{p|Marshadow}} along with the bundled item [[Marshadium Z]] would be distributed in the Japanese theaters from July 15 to September 30, 2017. It was also distributed during two pre-release events in {{wp|Tokyo}} and {{wp|Osaka}} on July 2, 2017.

[[CoroCoro]] also distributed the serial codes for level 100 {{p|Ho-Oh}} based on the [[Ho-Oh (anime)|movie Ho-Oh]] that holds [[Sacred Ash]] in August 2017 issue.

It also revealed that distributions would be made on {{p|Mew}} for July 11 to August 7, {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Lucario}}, and {{p|Piplup}} on August 1 to 28 by obtaining the serial codes at the {{wp|7-Eleven}} stores in Japan, with the latter three being based on {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|M20|Ash}}'s {{AP|Charizard}}, [[Sorrel]]'s Lucario, and [[Verity]]'s Piplup, respectively.

A special Pokémon card of {{TCG ID|SM Promo|Ash's Pikachu|108}} was given out for two days to some people who saw the English and {{pmin|Brazil}}ian Portuguese dubs in theaters.

==Manga adaptations==
{{main|Pocket Monsters the Movie: I Choose You! Remix}}
{{main|I Choose You! (manga)}}
A [[ICYR2|short promotion manga]] was included with the May 2017 issue of [[CoroCoro]]. Another tie-in manga called [[ICYR2|Get Fired Up, Marshadow!]] was included with the July 2017 issue of CoroCoro, this manga takes place before Marshadow meets Ash and his friends in the movie. An third manga called [[ICYR3|The Rainbow Hero]] was included with the August 2017 issue of CoroCoro. These three promotion manga were collected into ''[[Pocket Monsters the Movie: I Choose You! Remix]]'' together with [[ICYR4|Pikachu and Satoshi's Hat]].

A [[I Choose You! (manga)|separate manga adaptation]] started serializing on July 2, 2017 in MangaONE, a Japanese manga smartphone app by Shogakukan.

==Differences from the main series==
With this movie taking place in an alternate timeline, there are many differences between events that happen in the main series and in the movie.

* [[Cross]] is {{AP|Charmander}}'s [[original Trainer]] instead of [[Damian]].
* {{an|Brock}} and {{an|Misty}} do not accompany Ash on his journey, as they make no appearance except in cameos during the movie's ending credits.
* Pikachu knows {{m|Iron Tail}}, a move he doesn't learn until ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]''.
* Charizard knows {{m|Slash}}, a move he doesn't learn until ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]''. As a Charmeleon, it was able to use {{m|Seismic Toss}}, a move it didn't learn until evolving into a Charizard.
* Butterfree knows {{m|Gust}}, a move he doesn't learn at all in the main series.
* In the beginning of the movie, {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|M20}} is watching a battle between Neesha and Corey on TV instead of the two unidentified Trainers from the first episode.
** Ash is watching the battle in his whole outfit in the original episode, but in the movie, he is just wearing his T-shirt and pants without his hat, jacket, or gloves.
* The Pokémon-themed merchandise in Ash's room is completely different.
* The poster of the [[Kanto first partner Pokémon]] in Ash's room are displayed differently with {{p|Charmander}}, {{p|Squirtle}}, and {{p|Bulbasaur}} being in different poses and positions. The background of the poster is slightly different as well.
* Unlike in the first episode, where Ash's alarm clock falls into his hands while he is asleep, Ash grabs the alarm clock in his sleep.
** The alarm clock is designed after a Poké Ball, rather than a Voltorb.
* {{Delia}} wakes Ash up instead of Ash waking up himself.
* Ash runs to [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] barefoot with his pajamas, unlike the original episode where he is wearing shoes with his pajamas.
* Ash finds {{an|Professor Oak}} watering Bellsprout and Oddish outside the lab. In the first episode, Oak was the one to find Ash after his brief encounter with Gary.
** {{Gary}} has no interactions with Ash in the movie and only makes a brief cameo in a flashback, in which he receives his Squirtle. [[Gary's cheerleaders|His cheerleaders]] don't make an appearance in the movie either, nor do his crowd of supporters.
* The trio of first partner Pokémon aren't inside Poké Balls sitting on a pedestal like in the original episode. Instead, they are displayed on a tray with beds and bowls for each of them, before the new Trainers pick them out.
* The Trainers who received their first partner Pokémon from Professor Oak on the day Ash met Pikachu are shown as Gary, {{an|Tierno}}, and {{OBP|Marina|EP091}}. Notably, Tierno is shown in different clothing than his usual design, and chooses {{p|Charmander}} instead of Squirtle.
* A map of the [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], and [[Unova]] [[region]]s (none of which were known at the time of the original episode) are visible in the background of a couple of scenes at Professor Oak's lab.
* Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}}'s first encounter is different from the series. In the main series, Professor Oak sends out Pikachu from his Poké Ball. In the movie, Pikachu was already wandering around in Professor Oak's lab before Ash finds him.
* Professor Oak wasn't shown giving Ash a Pokédex. However, it’s possible that Ash receives his off-screen. If that’s the case, then Ash was never seen using the Pokédex in the movie.
* Delia never enters Professor Oak's lab in the original episode. Because of this, the original scene with Ash trying to get Pikachu in his ball takes place inside the lab instead.
** Also, Delia arrives alone, while in the episode, a group of supporters arrived to see Ash off
* Ash changes into his clothes in Oak's lab instead of changing shortly after setting out on his journey.
* When Ash is dragging Pikachu out of [[Pallet Town]], he isn't wearing pink rubber gloves, as he wasn't given any rubber gloves in the movie.
* Pikachu never goes up a tree to watch Ash try to catch a Pidgey like he did in the first episode. Instead, he just stands on a rock.
* A Rattata never shows up to steal Ash's food in the movie.
* The Spearow that got hit with a rock attacks Pikachu because it suspected that Pikachu hit it. In the main series, it attacked Pikachu simply because it was jealous of it.
* After Pikachu attacks Spearow, he flies into a tree full of other Spearow, where in the original episode he was calling out to them instead.
** As noted above, the number of Spearow that attack Ash and Pikachu is greatly increased.
* Ash doesn't steal Misty's (or anyone's) [[Bicycle|bike]] to escape the flock of Spearow, and tries to get away entirely on foot.
* Ash flips his hat while carrying Pikachu in the first episode. In the movie, he doesn't flip his hat until he confronts the flock of Spearow.
* After Pikachu defeats the flock of Spearow, the sky is sunny again after the rain clears up in the original episode. In the movie, it's a sunset instead.
* Ash's hat remains on his head after being knocked out in the episode, while his hat was knocked off in the movie.
* Ash doesn't get a Rainbow Wing from Ho-Oh in the original episode.
* Ash is shown with just three Pokémon under his ownership over the course of the movie – Pikachu, Butterfree, and Charizard – with no indication of him having {{pkmn2|caught}} {{AP|Pidgeot|Pidgeotto}}, {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, {{AP|Squirtle}}, or any of the Pokémon he had kept in rotation throughout his Kanto journey.
* Ash uses Pikachu to battle Caterpie before catching it, unlike in the original series where Ash just catches Caterpie without weakening it.
* Unlike in ''[[EP003|Ash Catches a Pokémon]]'', Ash is awake with Pikachu and Caterpie gazing at the group of Butterfree in the sky. They are all sitting in a tree rather than standing on a rock.
* [[Erika]] was the third [[Gym Leader]] encountered rather than the fifth one, while the first two Gym Leaders were encountered off-screen.
** In addition, Ash defeats Erika in a proper Gym battle to earn the Rainbow Badge.
* Unlike in the main series, {{TRT}} doesn't interact with Ash at all in the movie, since they only follow him without making themselves noticeable throughout the movie.
** As Ash recognizes the trio in [[M21|the next movie]], it can be inferred that he has encountered them at some point between this movie and the next one.
* Ash doesn't catch Charmander until after he has earned his third Gym Badge, whereas Ash obtained it between his second and third Badges in the main series.
* Charmander isn't holding a leaf while being in the rain, nor is he attacked by a flock of Spearow.
* Instead of taking Charmander to Nurse Joy, Ash takes him to a cave to heal him himself.
* {{cat|Ash's Pokémon}} [[Evolution|evolve]] in scenarios different from the original series:
** {{AP|Caterpie}} evolves into {{p|Metapod}} from battling a {{p|Pinsir}} rather than from a battle against {{TRT}} and then evolves into {{p|Butterfree}} during a fight with a pack of {{p|Primeape}} instead of a swarm of {{p|Beedrill}}.
*** In the original series, Caterpie's Evolution process was similar to a real-life caterpillar's life cycle, going through metamorphosis and then emerging from its cocoon. In the movie, it is shown to evolve like any other Pokémon similar to how they do in later episodes.
** {{AP|Charmander}} evolves into a {{p|Charmeleon}} from battling a {{p|Jigglypuff}} instead of stopping a herd of {{p|Exeggutor}} and then evolves into a {{p|Charizard}} during a rematch against Cross and his {{p|Incineroar}} instead of saving Ash from an {{p|Aerodactyl}}.
* {{AP|Charmeleon}} (and later Charizard) consistently stays [[Obedience|obedient]] to Ash after evolving. In the main series, Charizard rarely obeyed Ash until ''[[EP105|Charizard Chills]]''.
* Butterfree and the Pink Butterfree are first encountered while it was being chased by a Fearow, since there was no celebration of mating season taking place until after Pink Butterfree was saved. Butterfree gather for mating season like in ''[[EP021|Bye Bye Butterfree]]'', but there are no other trainers shown and are assumed to be wild Butterfree.
** Because Brock doesn't appear in the movie, Butterfree wasn't given a yellow scarf.
* {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} is shown with Team Rocket in the end credits, although it wasn't obtained until Johto. It is unknown how he was obtained in this timeline.

==Trivia==
{{incomplete|section|2=Source for the Yuyama interviews}}
* This movie was released between [[SM033]] and [[SM034]] in Japan.
* This movie shares its title with the [[EP001|first episode]] of the {{pkmn|animated series}}.
** This is the first movie whose Japanese name does not contain the name of any Pokémon in the title.
* This is the first Pokémon movie not to take place during the time-frame and continuity of the [[series]] airing at the time.
** Because of this, this is also the first movie to feature no human characters introduced in the series airing at the time of the movie.
* As of this movie, all of the {{pkmn2|Legendary}} and [[Mythical Pokémon]] from [[Generation II]] have had a starring role in a Pokémon movie.
* This is {{an|Professor Oak}}'s first appearance in a movie since the [[M04|fourth movie]], and {{Delia}}'s first movie appearance since her cameo in the ending credits of the [[M11|eleventh movie]]. However, Delia's previous speaking movie appearance was in the [[M03|third movie]].
* This is the first movie to feature a {{pkmn2|released|Pokémon being released}}, with Ash releasing his {{AP|Butterfree}} after saving the [[Pink Butterfree]].
* This is {{Gary}}'s first physical appearance in animated series-related media since ''[[DP152|The Battle Finale of Legend!]]'', over seven years prior, although his appearance is only in the form of a brief flashback.
* Movie editor [[Kunihiko Yuyama]] revealed some trivia about the movie in interviews:{{fact}}
** The movie is set in a parallel world that is split off from the main series, showing what would have happened had Ash received the [[Rainbow Feather|Rainbow Wing]] from {{p|Ho-Oh}}.
** The number of Spearow that chase Ash was increased twenty-fold, from fifty to one thousand.
** The Ash in this movie is more fashionable than the Ash from the series and influenced by the design created by [[Ken Sugimori]].
** [[Shōko Nakagawa]] was responsible for being the symbol of twenty years of Pokémon, with the role of Nurse Joy. She grew up playing the [[Generation I|first generation of games]], which is why she represents [[Pokémon 20th Anniversary]] by voice acting an "older sister" kind of role in the movie.
** Ash does not age. Yuyama said that "time has not passed since the start of the {{pkmn|journey}}. Ash is eternally 10 years old".
** The {{pkmn|Trainer}}s from the opening scene are [[Neesha]] and [[Corey]] from ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''.
** Ash's dream about being in a regular classroom without any Pokémon was taken from a concept from ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', where Ash, under the influence of {{m|Dark Void}}, had a nightmare about Pokémon not existing.<ref>http://dogasu.bulbagarden.net/movies/2017_pm_i_choose_you/pm_i_choose_you_directors_commentary.html</ref>
** [[Verity]]'s mother isn't [[Sinnoh]] {{pkmn|Champion}} {{an|Cynthia}}, despite her bearing a [[Animated series character recycling|remarkable resemblance]] to Cynthia.
* This movie features all of Ash's traveling companions prior to ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]'' making cameo appearances during the ending credits.
** During the credits, {{an|Brock}}, {{an|Misty}}, {{an|May}}, and {{an|Serena}} all wear their original outfits instead of their most recent ones at this point.
* Although Pikachu [[EP017|has had his statements translated via subtitles before]], this is the first time Pikachu has actually [[Talking Pokémon|talked]].
* For the English dub, this is the first movie that [[Kayzie Rogers]] had no part in voice acting in. She had at least one role in the past nineteen movies before her retirement.
* This was the first movie to be in 4K (specifically Sony Pictures 4K) quality due to the fact it was shown in theaters in {{pmin|the United States}}.
* Although [[Ash's hat]] has a unique symbol in this movie, the symbol that appeared on the original hat can be seen on Ash's backpack.
* In American theaters, the movie was preceded by the [[Pokémon Generations]] episodes ''[[PG01|The Adventure]]'', ''[[PG02|The Chase]]'', and ''[[PG03|The Challenger]]'', as well as a music video for this movie's version of the [[Pokémon Theme#Opening animation: Dub Movie 20 OP|Pokémon Theme]] utilizing clips from most of the Pokémon movies. [[M04|Movies four]] through [[M07|seven]] were skipped, however, presumably because the distribution rights were still owned by Miramax at the time.
* As a modern adaptation of the original series, the movie integrates a few details from the newer games:
** Pink Butterfree's oval scales on its lower wings are colored black in this movie, confirming its gender to be female. As its appearance in the main series predated [[Gender difference#Generation I Pokémon|gender differences]], it had the same wing pattern as a male Butterfree.
** Erika's design in the movie is based on her design from {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, complete with black hair and a kimono. In the main series, she had blue hair and a plain dress. She would later appear in her FireRed and LeafGreen attire in the main series in ''[[JN094|Suffering the Flings and Arrows!]]''.
* Team Rocket's appearance in the credits is identical to their appearance in the [[M19|previous movie]]'s credits: Watching Ash and his friends (Ash and Pikachu being alone this time) from their balloon, as Wobbuffet pops out of his Poké Ball from below {{MTR}} and causing him to nearly fall off the balloon, being saved by both [[Jessie]] and [[James]].
* This is the only time {{OBP|Marina|EP091}} appears outside of [[EP091|her debut episode]]. It is also the only time she's seen with a non-{{type|Water}} Pokémon.
* After Ash is hit by Marshadow's attack and his body disappears, his hat briefly falls on Pikachu's head. This may be a reference to the [[Pikachu in a cap]] released later that year for {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}.
* This is the only time since the trend started in ''The Rise of Darkrai'' in which the final form of all three first partner Pokémon of the concurrent generation's region don't appear in the first movie of that generation, as {{p|Incineroar}} is the only one of the final forms of the Alola trio featured. This movie does, however, feature all three of the Alola trio in their basic form.
* This is the first movie since ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown]]'' in the dub and ''[[M04|Celebi: The Voice of the Forest]]'' in the original Japanese version to not feature a "World of Pokémon" segment at the beginning of the movie. It is featured at the end of the movie, however.
* This is the first movie from the [[Pokémon animated series|anime]] that is dubbed into [[Pokémon in Spain#Catalan dub|Catalan]].

===Errors===
* When the flock of Spearow swoops down to attack Ash after he tells Pikachu to get in his Poké Ball, Ash's hat is shown facing forward despite it being turned backwards earlier. This is fixed in later DVD releases.
* In the {{pmin|Poland|Polish}} dub, when Ash is attacked by the Pokémon controlled by Marshadow, his English voice can be heard.
** Also, "{{m|Throat Chop|Gardłowy Chwyt}}" is called "Gardłowy Cios" throughout the second half of the movie.

===Dub edits===
* {{so|I Choose You}} replaces [[Oración's Theme ~Let's Walk Together~]] as the ending theme.
* The ending credits in the Disney XD version are significantly shortened to 30 seconds, played over a black screen, and utilize a short clip of the piano rendition of the [[Pokémon Theme#Opening animation: Dub Movie 20 OP|Pokémon Theme]] portion of I Choose You for music.
* Most of Marshadow's cries have been edited out.

Pepper (HZ102)

{{samename|character from ''[[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]]'' whose Japanese name is Pepper|Arven}}
[[File:Pepper.png|thumb|250px|Pepper]]
'''Pepper''' (Japanese: '''カラトウ''' ''Karatō'') is a [[character of the day]] who appeared in ''[[HZ102|The Knight in the Ruins]]''. They<ref>Unconfirmed gender</ref> are a {{tc|Student}} of [[Naranja Academy]] who is infatuated with {{p|Scovillain}}. Despite their name, they cannot handle spicy food. They are also a user of the [[Strong Sphere]].

==History==
As [[Liko]] was looking for [[Laquium]] Signs, she came across meeting Pepper who was trying to find their missing Scovillain that was missing a day before. Before leaving, they asked Liko to let them know if she happened to find their Scovillain.

Liko ran to find that Pepper's Scovillain was attacking multiple small Pokémon. Using {{TP|Liko|Meowscarada}} as a distraction, {{TP|Liko|Hattrem}} took her chance to heal the injured Pokémon. Afterwards, Liko removed the effects of the Laquium with the help of [[Pagogo]].

Pepper applied to be a tester for the Strong Sphere, which was granted by [[Exceed]]. However, after using it too much, the sphere ran out of Laquium and them sent it back to the company for recharging.

LaRousse City

{{AnimeLocationInfobox
|name=LaRousse City

}}

'''LaRousse City''' (Japanese: '''ラルース''' ''LaRousse'') is an {{pkmn|animated series}}-exclusive location in the [[Hoenn]] [[region]]. It is the setting of ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]''. According to promotional maps, LaRousse City is located near [[Lilycove City]].
[[File:Deoxys overlooking LaRousse City.png|250px|thumb|left|{{OBP|Deoxys|M07}} overlooking LaRousse City]]
It is a technologically advanced city with moving walkways and an enormous presence of [[Block Bot]]s. All LaRousse residents and visitors receive a special passport, which acts as ID and enables them to shop. The city's main power source seems to be its wind turbines. The most famous attraction is the [[Battle Tower]].

The city is located at the {{wp|confluence}} of two rivers in northern Hoenn. The city mainly lies on an island, including the huge park, the Battle Tower, and most of the business districts. On the shores of the river, presumably mainland Hoenn, lies more areas of the city, and presumably other cities such as [[South City]]. Access to the island is via monorail, which wraps around the island, and a bridge over the northern part of the island.

==In animation==
In ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', a {{OBP|Deoxys|M07}} awakened after four years and made its way to LaRousse to rescue its friend, who had been taken by [[Professor Lund]] for research.

Deoxys unleashed a powerful electromagnetic force field over LaRousse City to stop its search from being disrupted. The electromagnetic power also affected the city’s [[Block Bot]]s and electricity system, leaving many unable to leave. While [[Officer Jenny]] and [[Professor Lund]] coordinated a rescue mission, Deoxys was seemingly kidnapping everyone in sight with its army of clones. Among the trapped, {{Ash}}, {{ashfr}}, [[Rafe]], {{OBP|Rebecca|M07}}, [[Sid]], [[Audrey and Kathryn]], [[Tory]] and [[Yuko]] realized Deoxys’s intentions and worked together to restore the green Deoxys core.

However the situation became complicated with the arrival of {{OBP|Rayquaza|M07}}, who was determined to fight the Deoxys to protect its territory. The Deoxys later befriended Rayquaza after rescuing it from the rogue Block Bots, and they soon left LaRousse City to return to their respective homes.

LaRousse City later made cameo appearances in ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'' and ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''.

===Places of Interest===
====Battle Tower====
{{main|Battle Tower}}
The Battle Tower is LaRousse City’s most famous attractions. {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} traveled to LaRousse just so Ash could compete against some tough opponents. He met his match against [[Sid]] and [[Rafe]], though the loss was somewhat his impromptu battle partner [[Tory]]’s hesitance to battle that cost Ash the match.

====Monorail====
The monorail is the main entry into LaRousse City. There are three known train stations on the island, one of which is a large building that also includes a shopping mall.

====Parkland====
LaRousse City has a large array of parks and public facilities on offer. [[Tory]] particularly likes hanging out in the city’s greenhouse, which houses some rare plants and where he originally met a {{OBP|Deoxys|M07}} who only appeared to him as a sprite.

====Pokémon Center====
{{main|Pokémon Center}}
{{Ash}}, {{ashfr}}, [[Rafe]], {{OBP|Rebecca|M07}}, [[Sid]], [[Audrey and Kathryn]] all stayed at the local Pokémon Center while in LaRousse City.

====Professor Lund’s laboratory====
[[Professor Lund]] and his research assistant [[Yuko]] operate a laboratory, where they studied a green core {{OBP|Deoxys|M07}} over four years. They experimented with different frequencies and lazers in an attempt to regenerate Deoxys. In ''Destiny Deoxys'', Yuko succeeded and the revitalized Deoxys reunited with its friend.

==Trivia==
* LaRousse City is the hometown of {{an|May}}'s main rival, [[Drew]], as revealed in ''[[AG180|May, We Harley Drew'd Ya!]]''.
* This is the second time a movie-made city was based on a real city outside of Japan.
* LaRousse City was one of the first movie settings to feature a highly-efficient, eco-friendly city. This is now a recurring theme in the Pokémon franchise. It is implied in the [[M07|seventh movie]] that the city relies heavily on wind turbines and other {{wp|Alternative energy|alternative energy sources}}, which create a healthy, non-polluting environment.
* LaRousse City seems to have its own city symbol, consisting of a circle with a [[Poké Ball]] symbol on an A-frame and a base line below.

===Origin===
LaRousse is based on {{wp|Vancouver}}, {{wp|British Columbia}}, {{wp|Canada}}.

'''Michina Town''' (Japanese: '''ミチーナ''' ''Michina'') is an {{pkmn|animated series}}-exclusive location in the [[Sinnoh]] [[region]] and the setting of ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''. It is a riverside town surrounded by flourishing nature. Most of the town is agricultural, with numerous fields growing crops such as corn and watermelon. The town's centerpiece is the Michina Ruins.

Thousands of years ago, Michina Town was a desolate place, which was nothing but a wasteland. But the [[Jewel of Life]]'s power that {{OBP|Arceus|M12}} gave [[Damos]] made the town's soil rich and fertile. Then Damos constructed a shrine at the peak of a mountain in order to praise Arceus's kindness.

==Places of interest==
[[File:Michina Ruins.png|thumb|220px|Michina Ruins]]
===Michina Ruins===
The Michina Ruins are the remnants of the shrine made by Damos, which are located at the peak of a huge, rocky mountain in Michina. Close to the ruins is a beautiful lake, as well as multiple waterfalls that cascade down the mountainside.

The ruins are guarded by [[Sheena]] and {{OBP|Kevin|M12}}. The [[Time-Space Axis]] can be found in the basement of the ruins; it is used by Sheena and Kevin to monitor disruptions in the time-space continuum. The basement is also the location where the [[Jewel of Life]] is safeguarded.

Eindoak Town

}}

'''Eindoak Town''' (Japanese: '''アイントオーク''' ''Eindoak'') is a location in the [[Unova]] [[region]] found somewhere between [[Castelia City]] and [[Nimbasa City]]. It is one of the settings of [[M14|''White—Victini and Zekrom'' and ''Black—Victini and Reshiram'']]. It is the relocated home of the "People of the Vale".

Long ago, the [[Kingdom of the Vale]] engaged in a war that caused a disturbance in the force that kept the land alive and flourishing, the [[Dragon Force]]. Left with no other option, the [[King of the People of the Vale]] lifted the [[Sword of the Vale]] from the ground, and placed it atop a nearby mountain to ease the Dragon Force's fury. The People of the Vale then began anew, and over time, they erected a village situated along the mountain ridge, where many have come to live. The town now boasts bountiful orchards that supply the town with food.

==In animation==
{{Ash}}, {{an|Iris}}, and {{an|Cilan}} ventured to Eindoak Town on their travels, wanting to participate in Eindoak Town's Harvest Festival battle tournament. On their way, Ash saved a pair of {{p|Deerling}} from falling off a cliff with the help of {{OBP|Victini|M14}}. Ash managed to get back to his friends through a cavern located near the bottom of the castle. Here he would later find the [[Dark Stone]]{{tt|*|Pokémon The Movie: White—Victini and Zekrom}}/[[Light Stone]]{{tt|*|Pokémon The Movie: Black—Victini and Reshiram}}. As soon as the trio reunited, they found their way to the battle tournament, with a little help from [[Damon]]. Victini secretly followed close behind them and it secretly powered up {{AP|Tepig}} and {{AP|Scraggy}}, allowing Ash to win some of his battles. [[Carlita]] realized this source of power, and the group were then properly introduced to Victini.

Later, the Mayor of the town, [[Mannes]], told Ash, Iris, and Cilan the history of Eindoak Town and how it came to be. That evening, Damon announced his plan to relocate the Sword of the Vale back to its original location with the help of Victini and {{OBP|Reshiram|M14}}{{tt|*|Pokémon The Movie: White—Victini and Zekrom}}/{{OBP|Zekrom|M14}}{{tt|*|Pokémon The Movie: Black—Victini and Reshiram}}. The descendants of the People of the Vale agreed to this plan, and they allowed Damon to move the Sword of the Vale against Victini's will. This caused the dormant Dragon Force beneath Eindoak to erupt and split the earth into fractions.

When the Sword of the Vale was relocated to its new location next to the ocean, Eindoak still remained unharmed, however now without the Sword of the Vale.

Eindoak Town made a brief reappearance in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', which is set in a timeline different from the main series.

==In the games==
[[File:DW Pokémon Movie.png|thumb|250px|Inside the Pokémon Movie home]]
The home Pokémon Movie was made available to players for a specific duration. Inside are Pokémon present in the movie, as well as a Victini {{pkmn|doll}}. Players may view a trailer in the movie in the area they arrive in, or go to the Sword of the Vale. By tucking in Reshiram or Zekrom from a Pokémon event, players can access a new area in the [[Island of Dreams]] and play a game with a Victini waiting there. Completing the game once allows them to unlock a promotion that allows them to obtain a [[C-Gear]] skin featuring one of the two Pokémon – the one they tucked in, specifically.

==Trivia==
* Eind was used as the [[Original Trainer|OT]] of Japanese or Korean [[Eind Victini|Victini]] distributed locally in 2011, a reference to the fourteenth movie {{OBP|Victini|M14}}'s appearance in Eindoak Town.

===Origin===
Eindoak Town is inspired by various locations in {{wp|France}}.

==Blurb==

Leaving the island he called home for the past year, Amethio and his Corviknight navigate a storm over rough seas. Sensing danger, a hero leaps into action—is it a boat? A ship? No, it’s Mighty G! He whisks Amethio to the safety of a cave, and the two make curry with help from their Pokémon. Then, the Rising Volt Tacklers hit the beach to witness an exciting event—a Gholdengo surfing on the waves left by the storm. Dot would prefer to stay indoors, but the wild Gimmighoul following her has other plans…

==Plot==
During a stormy day, [[Ludlow]] and his {{p|Quagsire}} stand on the deck of the [[Brave Olivine]], overlooking the harsh sea when Quagsire senses a disturbance. In response, Ludlow changes into Mighty G and calls out his {{p|Sharpedo}} before all three jump into the sea. At the same time, [[Amethio]]'s {{p|Corviknight}} is having trouble getting through the harsh weather conditions despite an island being in view. Just then, Mighty G arrives and helps Amethio, who is confused by the man's appearance. Once the two seek refuge in a cave, Mighty G attempts to leave due to his back pain while Amethio wants to go through the cave in hopes of finding [[Zygarde Cell]]s, but he doesn't make it far before collapsing from hunger. Mighty G and Quagsire give Amethio ingredients to make {{wp|Japanese curry|curry rice}} before leaving him so that Mighty G can safely change back. When Ludlow peeks from the entrance, he becomes concerned when he sees Amethio standing around and not doing anything. He enters the cave again as Mighty G and asks Amethio about his cooking skills, which is not much since the most he can do is roast {{berries}}. As such, Mighty G teaches Amethio how to cook [[curry]]. During the cooking process, Mighty G realizes Amethio is still wet from the storm when the latter sneezes and teaches him how to properly dry his clothes. By the end of everything, Amethio is amazed not only by his clothes being fully dry but also by the pot of curry cooking in front of him. Mighty G tries to leave again, but he stays behind so that Amethio can experience eating curry with company present for the first time. While the Pokémon enjoy the curry by themselves, Mighty G and Amethio talk about Amethio's intentions once the storm passes. Amethio reveals he wants to prove the path he's taking is the right one to [[Gibeon|his late grandfather]], and Mighty G advises him that stopping once in a while is also right in itself. Looking to the Pokémon, Amethio agrees with his unusual company and gets praised by him. When the storm passes, Mighty G and his Pokémon return to the sea while Amethio resumes his journey with {{TP|Amethio|Ceruledge}} and Corviknight.
[[File:Gimmighoul Idolizing Gholdengo.png|thumb|left|250px|Gimmighoul Idolizing Gholdengo]]
Meanwhile, the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] have arrived at the beach now that the storm is over. [[Liko]], [[Roy]], and [[Ult]] are enjoying their time swimming while [[Dot]] watches before announcing she's returning to the airship. When [[Mollie]] and [[Orla]] call the three remaining kids back to hydrate themselves, they see Dot searching around for something, which is a [[Gimmighoul Coin]], making her annoyed at having been controlled by {{p|Gimmighoul}} again. At that moment, Liko and Roy see a crowd of people waiting for {{p|Gholdengo}} so that they can enjoy {{wp|surfing}} with the {{pkmn|category|Coin Entity Pokémon}}, with [[Murdock]], {{TP|Murdock|Lycanroc}}, and [[Captain Pikachu]] coming up to the kids with their own surfboards. Murdock invites the kids to try surfing, but Dot refuses again, opting to edit videos in her room. Unfortunately, Dot continues to get controlled by Gimmighoul despite her attempts to stop it. She calls for {{TP|Dot|Quaxwell}} and {{TP|Dot|Tinkatuff}} to return with her after getting controlled again, but she sees the longing look in the Practicing Pokémon's eyes as he looks at the others surfing. Despite her reluctance, Dot ultimately chooses to surf to make Quaxwell happy, much to the shock of Liko and Murdock. Led by Gholdengo, the Rising Volt Tacklers wait for the next wave on their respective surfboards, with Gimmighoul stowing away on Dot's and she allows it to join her. When a coin falls out of its chest, Gimmighoul jumps in to catch it and starts drifting away until Dot rescues it. A huge wave approaches and everyone has a fun time surfing on it.

At sunset, everyone bids Gholdengo farewell as Dot looks at Gimmighoul with a contemplative look. Ludlow, whose back is still recovering from him becoming Mighty G for a lengthy period earlier, meets up with Liko and Roy as they tell him how their day went excitingly when they see Dot talking with Gimmighoul. Having been controlled by the Coin Chest Pokémon plenty of times, Dot wondered how to stop it from happening until she saw how Gimmighoul idolized Gholdengo like she does with {{an|Iono}}. Being able to understand how Gimmighoul feels about this, Dot decides to help Gimmighoul collect coins and asks to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} it, which {{TP|Dot|Gimmighoul}} agrees to happily, joining her [[party|team]]. Even though Dot tells Gimmighoul there's no need for it to control her or her Pokémon again since they're a team now, it still does so later when Dot was telling Mollie about her newest capture.

==Blurb==

After agreeing to help Zirc and Onia find Amethio, Liko travels with them to Amethio’s family home to look for clues to his whereabouts. A photograph of young Amethio with his Charcadet on a beach prompts Liko to dig deeper, and the group sets out again, this time to an island near Levincia. To their relief, they find Amethio, who has been living there for the past year. But then Liko’s Charcadet challenges Amethio’s Ceruledge—what will come of their battle?

==Plot==
[[Liko]], [[Zirc]], and [[Onia]] visit [[Amethio's mansion]], having obtained permission to use the place from [[Cervantis]]. In the sitting room, Zirc and Onia explain how the [[Explorers]] have changed when [[Spinel]] took over after the events on [[Laqua]], and that [[HZ092|they were assigned by]] [[Hamber]] to search for [[Amethio]], who is the only one capable of opposing Spinel. However, they have not been successful so far, and are now turning to Liko for help. Liko ponders for a moment when her {{TP|Liko|Charcadet}} directs her focus to a [[Photography|photo]] of a younger Amethio and his own {{p|Charcadet}} before it [[Evolution|evolved]] into {{TP|Amethio|Ceruledge}}. Looking at the photos put up, Liko asks where it was taken. Cervantis, who is working at an [[Exceed]] warehouse after stepping down, is about to give the location when Spinel makes a surprise visit. Cervantis asks about the [[Strong Sphere]]s, but Spinel reassures the former director that everything is going according to plan. Afterwards, when Cervantis sends the location of the island, Liko, Zirc, and Onia set off. On the way, Liko asks the two how they met Amethio. They reveal they were assigned to Amethio when they first joined the Explorers and assumed he was a spoiled kid, ready to take advantage of him to progress higher into the Explorers. Over time, their perspective on Amethio changed to the point where they decided to be completely loyal to him, and now they wish to help Amethio again.
[[File:Liko Charcadet and Amethio Ceruledge meet.png|thumb|250px|left|Charcadet and Ceruledge meet]]
At night on the island, Amethio reminisces the events from the past year. After [[HZ089|successfully escaping Laqua's collapse]], Amethio separated himself from his subordinates, telling them to go back to the Explorers on their own. While avoiding the Explorers after him under Spinel's orders, Amethio used the submarine to get to the island where he had his only family trip. Since then, Amethio has been hiding away on the island, feeling alone because there's no one he can turn to. Turning to the side, Amethio recalls [[Maria (Horizons)|his mother]] asking Charcadet to protect him, and imagines his mother's spirit heading for the sea. Looking further into the distance, Amethio sees something coming and thinks he's been found by the Explorers. To Amethio's surprise and relief, it is Liko, Zirc, and Onia who arrive by crashing the boat in front of him. The group huddles around a campfire, and Amethio notices Liko {{pkmn2|caught}} a Charcadet, with Liko saying it wanted to protect her. The trio explain Spinel's current intentions with the Explorers, Exceed, and the Strong Spheres to Amethio, who is unable to help. Having lost everything, Amethio feels powerless, causing Liko to [[HZ065|repeat the words he said to her when they were trapped in the cave]]. Charcadet challenges Ceruledge to a {{pkmn|battle}} in response to Liko's feelings. Despite Amethio trying to dissuade the {{pkmn|category|Fire Child Pokémon}} from taking on an impossible opponent, Liko also asks for a battle and points out anything can happen, resulting in Amethio reluctantly agreeing to the battle.

The battle begins with an {{m|Ember}} from Charcadet that is easily sliced in half, so Liko has Charcadet approach Ceruledge, but it is unable to do so due to a flurry of {{m|Psycho Cut}}s preventing it from getting closer. Charcadet uses {{m|Clear Smog}}, and Amethio sees right through its plan. Running through the smokescreen, Charcadet comes close to Ceruledge and uses Ember again, only to be surprised to find the Fire Blades Pokémon gone. Ceruledge rises from a portal and attacks from behind, having used {{m|Phantom Force}} before Charcadet attacked. Seeing it struggle to get up, Amethio declares the battle is over and tells Liko to [[recall]] it back into its {{i|Poké Ball}}. But she doesn't listen, and stares at Charcadet struggling to get back up. Despite the pleas for it to give up, Charcadet, with support from its {{pkmn|Trainer}} and fellow Pokémon, stands back up again with determination burning in its eyes. At Liko's command, Charcadet rushes towards Ceruledge, sliding under another Psycho Cut attack and jumping high enough to unleash a powerful Ember that manages to hit Ceruledge. Amethio isn't impressed by their success, but he and Liko notice Ceruledge's eyes are also burning with the same determination as Charcadet. Without any order from his Trainer, Ceruledge strikes down Charcadet with {{m|Shadow Claw}} before it could attack, ending the battle.
[[File:Liko Charcadet Meowscarada and Pagogo.png|thumb|250px|Liko, Meowscarada, and Pagogo praising Charcadet]]
Liko, {{TP|Liko|Meowscarada}}, and [[Pagogo]] praise Charcadet's efforts while Amethio and Ceruledge approach them. Liko thanks Amethio for the battle, admitting she didn't want to disappoint the Fire Child Pokémon by refusing to let it battle and promises to be stronger the next time they battle. Liko's words and the battle just now strike a chord with Amethio, who tells Zirc and Onia he can't go with them. As Explorers, they are capable of doing things that Amethio can't from within. As for Amethio, he decides to find something he can do, making his subordinates happy to see a spark of his old self back. Zirc and Onia give the [[Zygarde Cube]] to Amethio, making him realize he should gather the [[Zygarde Cell]]s of [[Gibeon|his grandfather's]] [[White Zygarde]], while Liko tells Amethio she believes in the path he's taking.

At the Explorers base, Hamber is updated on the situation and breaks down in relief when the call ends, all of which is seen by [[Chalce]] through the camera. Liko returns to the [[Brave Olivine]] where Charcadet is healed. [[Roy]] and [[Dot]] meet with Liko and inform her of their plans to have some fun while the ship is undergoing maintenance, with [[Ult]] demanding to join in. At sunrise, Amethio leaves the island on {{p|Corviknight}}, with the Zygarde Cube in hand and renewed determination.
