History
Pre-series
A few years prior, Liko received a mysterious pendant from her grandmother. After saying this gift will be important to her in the future, Liko's grandmother said that Liko should rely on her Pokémon to be able to venture out and face her fears on her journey.
Pokémon Horizons: The Series
Liko debuted in HZ001. She enrolled in the Indigo Academy, where she formed a friendship with her roommate Ann and received her starter Pokémon, a Sprigatito. During the next days, Liko worked hard to strengthen her bond with Sprigatito by learning more about it and make it listen to her instructions in battle, but to little avail.
One day, a young man named Amethio introduced himself to her as her grandmother's representative and asked her for the pendant. Quickly distrusting his intentions, Liko attempted to run away from him and his teammates, but eventually got cornered by the group. However, before any violent confrontation could begin, Friede swooped in on his Charizard and started battling Amethio's Ceruledge. As Liko tried to get away from the fight, she was about to be hit a stray Psycho Cut until her pendant activated and protected from the attack. In the next episode, Liko noticed the presence of a mysterious Pokémon during the activation of the pendant's power.
After being rescued by Friede, Liko and Sprigatito were taken aboard his airship, the Brave Asagi, where they were introduced to the Rising Volt Tacklers. Not long after, the ship was attacked by the Explorers, who coerced Liko to go with them. When Liko was about to give herself up, Sprigatito started yelling at her, making her realize she had been lying to herself. Then, Sprigatito followed Liko's instructions and unleashed a Leafage strong enough to break the forcefield around the Wing Deck, but got blown overboard in the process, which allowed the Explorers to capture it before fleeing.
In HZ003, Liko discovered that her mother hired the Rising Volt Tacklers to protect her. The group soon reached the city where the Explorers were last seen. After running an errand for Mollie at the city's Pokémon Center, she followed the sound of Murdock's Rockruff barking, only to find Murdock and Friede facing Conia. She and Friede chased Conia back to the Explorers's hideout, where Friede engaged Amethio in a battle, allowing her and Rockruff to find and reunite with Sprigatito. After briefly facing and escaping from Conia and her Skarmory, she returned to the Brave Asagi. Feeling she could trust them, Liko decided to join the Rising Volt Tacklers in their travels to find out more about the mysteries surrounding her pendant and the Explorers, officially becoming a member of the group.
In HZ004, it was revealed that Liko has signed up for online classes and will be attending school virtually. Liko was then given the job to watch the observation deck. After doing some chores, Liko found out that Fuecoco fell off the Brave Asagi and went out to look for it, having her Sprigatito sniff it out. During the search, they came upon an open tree stump with eaten berries and was mistakenly accused of eating the wild Pokémon's food. While being chased, her pendant started to glow and Liko was rescued by Roy, a boy who lived on the island. After escaping, they both introduced each other, but the wild Pokémon found them and captured them by using their string shot. Fortunately, they were rescued by Friede. Liko and Roy gather berries for the wild Pokémon as an apology gift, and waved goodbye to her new friend.
Character
Liko is a shy and polite girl who doesn't do well in stressful situations. She seems to be studious when it comes to learning about how to build a bond with Pokémon and is willing to pass curfew to do so. During the night, Liko often writes down what happens during her day in her diary, that includes her drawing in it. Among other students, Liko is a big fan of Nidothing and watches its videos to help her be a Pokémon Trainer. Liko cares very much about Pokémon, especially her best friend and partner, Sprigatito. She would also put their safety first, as shown in HZ002, when she surrender to the Explores so the Rising Volt Tacklers's Pokémon would't get hurt.
Despite her shyness, Liko can easily make friends as she quickly befriended Ann and Roy after meeting them. Liko has also shown a reckless side, as seen in her debut episode, when she was willing to jump off the roof of her school in order to escape the Explorers. In addition, Liko has shown to not trust others, as she quickly realized that the Explores were up to no good and was unsure about the Rising Volt Tacklers as Friede took her to his airship without giving her any information. However, after the Rising Volt Tacklers put her feelings first and help her rescue Sprigatito from the Explorers, Liko was convinced to trust them and not only becomes a member of their group, but also her friends.
