The Explorers were introduced in ''[[HZ001|The Pendant That Starts It All: Part One]]''. With the goal of obtaining [[Liko]]'s pendant, [[Amethio]] introduced himself as a supposedly representative of [[Diana (Horizons)|Liko's grandmother]], requesting her to return the pendant. When Liko attempted to escape she was chased after, and eventually cornered by, Amethio, [[Zirc]], and [[Onia]]. Upon the arrival of [[Friede]], the leader of the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]], Amethio engaged in a battle with him. Their battle was cut short after Liko's pendant displayed an unknown power that shielded her from an incoming attack, which Friede used as an opportunity to escape with her. Having witnessed the pendant's mysterious power, the Explorers shifted their objective to acquiring both Liko's pendant and Liko herself, believing her to play a key role in the pendant's secrets.
The Explorers were introduced in ''[[HZ001|The Pendant That Starts It All: Part One]]''. One day, [[Amethio]] approached Liko at the school's dormitories and, under the guise of a representative of [[Diana (Horizons)|her grandmother]], requested the pendant from her. Liko, feeling something was suspicious, tried to escape from him and his cohorts, [[Zirc]] and [[Onia]], but ended up cornered in a rooftop until [[Friede]] swooped in at the right time and engaged Amethio in a battle. While trying to run away, Liko would have been 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 opportunity to escape with her to the [[Brave Olivine]]. The Explorers, however, did not give up and [[HZ002|followed them to the airship]], where Friede and Amethio briefly clashed again. This time, Liko stepped in, and her {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}} unleashed a {{m|Leafage}} powerful enough to break the barrier around the battlefield, exposing everyone to the unrelenting weather. This forced the Explorers to retreat, but not without taking the {{pkmn|category|Grass Cat Pokémon}} as a hostage.
 
Following an aerial chase of the Rising Volt Tacklers airship in [[HZ002|the following episode]], they managed to invade their enemy's ship, the [[Brave Olivine]], where another battle between Amethio and Friede ensued. Due to a powerful {{m|Leafage}} from [[Liko's Sprigatito]], the barrier around the battlefield broke, exposing everyone to the ongoing thunderstorm. This forced the Explorers to retreat, but not without taking Sprigatito as a hostage.
 
In ''[[HZ003|For Sure! 'Cause Sprigatito's with Me!]]'', Zirc managed to plant a tracker on the Brave Olivine while the ship was docked at the town where the Explorers were hiding out with Sprigatito. In the [[HZ004|next episode]], Amethio conferenced with [[Hamber]], his superior, from his team's submarine. When asked if he had informed [[Gibeon]], the Explorers' leader, about Liko's pendant, Amethio replied that he had not yet done so. The trio then set off to follow the Brave Asagi using the tracker's signal.

Amethio, Zirc and Onia attacked the Rising Volt Tacklers in ''[[HZ005|Found You, Fuecoco!]]'' and ''[[HZ006|The Ancient Poké Ball]]'', in another major operation meant to steal Liko's pendant. They were forced to retreat when a {{shiny}} [[Black Rayquaza|Rayquaza]] appeared from [[Roy]]'s ancient [[Poké Ball]] after the ball and pendant synced with each other. Later, Amethio was summoned to a meeting of the Explorers' leadership to give a report to Gibeon, where fellow Admin Spinel mocks him for his failure. Because of Amethio's acting on his own, Gibeon removed him from the mission and instead assigned [[Spinel]] to obtain the pendant. After the meeting, Amethio calmly decided to continue pursuing the Rayquaza, which had disappeared after his team's retreat.
In the [[HZ003|next episode]], while the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] were working on rescuing Sprigatito, Zirc managed to plant a tracker on Brave Olivine's hull. This allowed for the group to follow the ship to [[Roy's hometown|Roy's island]] via submarine, where both parties clashed once again 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 and released a mighty [[Black Rayquaza]]. The [[Legendary Pokémon]] indiscriminately attacked with a {{m|Draco Meteor}}, forcing the Explorers to retreat. Later, during a meeting with the remaining Explorers's higher-ups, [[Gibeon]], the organization's leader, removed Amethio from the mission of collecting the pendant and assigned it to [[Spinel]]. Afterwards, Amethio calmly decided to continue pursuing the Black Rayquaza.

Spinel was later seen spying on the Rising Volt Tacklers in ''[[HZ012|The Future I Choose!]]'', and in ''[[HZ013|An Unexpected Picnic!]]'', he commenced his attack by using his fleet of {{p|Magneton}} to disable the Brave Asagi near [[Levincia]] , as well as using his other Pokémon to battle Friede and his Charizard to try and distract him, and briefly successfully obtains Liko's pendant thanks to his Beheeyem. In the subsequent episodes Spinel attempts to plan his escape with the pendant but the Rising Volt Tacklers comprising of Liko, Roy and Dot track him down and thwart his plans, managing to steal Liko's pendant back from him with the help of Lucius's Arboliva. After this setback, Spinel reports his failure to the rest of the Explorers, causing him to be mocked by some of the Admins such as Coral, after the meeting Spinel plans to continue with his mission.
In ''[[HZ012|The Future I Choose]]'', Spinel was seen spying and studying the Rising Volt Tacklers. The knowledge he acquired during this time is put to use in the following episodes, as the commences his attack on the Rising Volt Tacklers. First, in ''[[HZ013|An Unexpected Picnic!]]'', he used his fleet of {{p|Magneton}} in order to mess with the electronic systems of the Brave Olivine, rendering it powerless during a reboot. In the [[HZ014|next episode]], Liko was lured into an alley in [[Levincia]] while searching for [[Spicy Herba Mystica]] and met a Spinel in disguise. With the psychic powers of his {{p|Beheeyem}}, he put her on a trance and walked away with her pendant. Once Liko [[HZ015|regained her memories]], the Rising Volt Tacklers prepared to counterattack.
 
In ''[[HZ016|Quaxly, We Can Do It]]'', Liko, Roy, and [[Dot]] managed to find Spinel on a cargo ship before he managed to flee from Levincia. Despite defeating his Beheeyem and Magneton, they were not evenly matched against his {{p|Umbreon}}. Fortunately for them, Liko's feelings begun resonating with the pendant, which shone brightly, giving away Spinel's location and releasing {{p|Arboliva}} from its Ancient Poké Ball. The young Rising Volt Tacklers then escaped with the pendant, leaving Spinel at the ship with understanding that Liko 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 the [[Galar Mine]]. Amethio informed the others that he would now be acting against Gibeon's orders by continuing to pursue Rayquaza, but they still insisted upon following him, which he accepted. In the [[HZ022|following episode]], Amethio, Zirc and Onia arrived at the Galar Mine as where they came across Liko, Roy, and Friede as they battled them. However, when a {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Moltres}} that had an Ancient Poké Ball arrive and attack them, Onia and Zirc retreated from their battle against Liko and Roy, as Moltres was too powerful for them to battle, while Amethio continued his Pokémon battle against Friede, with Charizard and {{TP|Amethio|Ceruledge}} fighting each other again. When Galarian Moltres showed up after chasing off Liko and Roy it immediately confronted Friede and Amethio, interrupting their battle. However, Amethio eventually retreated from Moltres in the [[HZ023|next episode]], and changed up his plans as he decided to also steal the {{an|Terapagos|mysterious Pokémon}} that formed from Liko's pendant.

After Amethio's failure, Spinel came up with a new plan to catch Rayquaza leading a select group of the Explorers to make it happen. Prior to [[HZ042]] Spinel led the construction of a tower on an island near [[Levincia]] as part of his plan. In [[HZ043]], Coral led Sidian to a seaside town in Paldea so in disguise, she could find a rare box of Sea Diglett Manjū, however when she finds out it was sold out and that Liko and Roy managed to get a box without even lining up, she engages in battle against Roy while Sidian steps in to battle Liko. Eventually, the battle comes to a stop when Sidian receives a call to take part in the mission to catch Rayquaza, forcing the two to retreat while Coral reveals to the two Rising Volt Tacklers that they'll catch Rayquaza.
