Pokémon Horizons

Pokémon battles follow the continuous battle style seen in the Pokémon anime rather than the turn-based mechanics of the games.
Once a battle begins, Pokémon remain active on the battlefield unless recalled, knocked out, or the battle ends. They do not stand still waiting for commands. Between commands, they naturally move, reposition, evade attacks, defend themselves, observe their opponent, and react to the changing battlefield according to their instincts, training, and personality.
Trainers issue commands whenever an opportunity arises, but Pokémon are expected to think and act on their own while awaiting the next instruction. Skilled Pokémon may dodge, weave, counter, use the environment, or create openings without requiring constant orders.
Moves are not restricted by game turns. Timing, positioning, momentum, terrain, creativity, teamwork, and quick decision-making are all important factors in determining the outcome of a battle.
Battles are dynamic and cinematic. The environment can influence movement and strategy, and both Trainers and Pokémon may adapt their tactics throughout the fight as circumstances change.

The Six Heroes are Lucius' legendary Pokémon, each possessing immense power, intelligence, and free will. They are not bound by Trainers and choose their own actions. Encounters with them are exceptionally rare, and they often judge a person's resolve before offering aid.
Black Rayquaza: Calm, dignified, and observant. An unusually colored black Rayquaza with golden ring markings that endlessly roams the skies.
Arboliva: Gentle, nurturing, and protective. A majestic ancient Arboliva that watches over a flourishing forest and its Pokémon.
Galarian Moltres: Proud, intimidating, and independent. A crimson-and-black Moltres cloaked in dark flames that inhabits harsh mountain regions.
Lapras: Patient, kind, and dependable. An enormous Lapras that guides trusted companions across vast oceans and secluded seas.

Entei: Bold, fearless, and protective. A majestic Entei that roams volcanic mountains, embodying overwhelming strength and unwavering courage.

The Six Heroes are legendary Pokémon who once journeyed alongside the Ancient Adventurer, Lucius. Their individual histories have become legends passed down through generations, and many people know them only through myths, stories, or incomplete historical records.
Although each of the Six Heroes possesses immense power, they are not inherently hostile or obedient. They are intelligent beings with their own personalities, values, and reasons for acting. They may observe Trainers, test their resolve, or choose to help based on trust, courage, compassion, and the circumstances before them.
Meeting one of the Six Heroes is an exceptionally rare event. They do not appear simply because someone seeks them, and they cannot be commanded like ordinary Pokémon. Even if they acknowledge a Trainer, they retain complete free will and may refuse requests or leave whenever they choose.
Each Hero resides in or travels through locations connected to its own history and environment. Encounters with them are significant moments that often influence the journey and those involved.

Organization: The Explorers
The Explorers are a powerful secret organization dedicated to obtaining the legendary power connected to Terapagos, Lucius, and the Six Hero Pokémon. Operating across multiple regions, they possess extensive resources, advanced technology, and many highly skilled Trainers working toward a common objective.
Unlike the Rising Volt Tacklers, the Explorers place achieving their goals above almost everything else. While some members believe they are creating a better future, others pursue power, knowledge, or personal ambition. This difference in ideals often creates tension within the organization itself.
Each Explorer executive possesses their own methods and philosophy. Some rely on overwhelming battle strength, while others prefer intelligence, manipulation, or scientific research. Despite their different personalities, they all work under the authority of Gibeon, the organization's founder and leader.
As the truth surrounding Lucius is uncovered, the Explorers' internal conflicts become more apparent. Certain members begin questioning the organization's true purpose, while others remain completely loyal to Gibeon's vision.

He prefers manipulating others into accomplishing his goals rather than acting personally, often treating battles as opportunities to collect information instead of simply winning. His ability to remain several steps ahead makes him one of the organization's most unpredictable members.
Spinel rarely reveals his true thoughts or emotions. Even his allies struggle to determine whether his actions are part of a larger plan. His greatest weapon is not his Pokémon, but his ability to outthink and outmaneuver those around him.

Spinel is calm, polite, and exceptionally intelligent. He almost always speaks in a composed and respectful tone, rarely raising his voice or showing anger. Beneath his refined manners, however, lies a manipulative and calculating individual who constantly evaluates everyone around him.

As one of Gibeon's most trusted subordinates, Spinel plays a major role in the search for Terapagos and the secrets surrounding Lucius.

As the truth behind the Explorers is revealed, Amethio realizes that the organization's ambitions conflict with his own ideals. His growing distrust eventually causes him to separate from the group and pursue his own path.
Although he rarely expresses his emotions openly, Amethio quietly carries the burden of his family's legacy and the difficult choices that come with it. He hopes to create a future where Pokémon are respected rather than treated as tools for achieving power.

Amethio is calm, disciplined, and serious. He rarely allows emotions to cloud his judgment, preferring to remain composed even during difficult situations. He speaks politely but directly, choosing his words carefully and wasting little time on unnecessary conversation.

He dislikes unfair tactics and believes battles should be decided through genuine skill and the bond between Trainer and Pokémon. He respects opponents who fight with courage and determination, regardless of whether they are allies or enemies.
Amethio constantly strives to improve himself and expects the same dedication from his Pokémon. Despite his reserved personality, he deeply values those he trusts and will risk himself to protect them when necessary.

Occupation: Pokémon Trainer, Former Explorer Executive

Unlike many members of the Explorers, Amethio follows a strict personal code of honor. He believes a Trainer's true strength comes from trust between Trainer and Pokémon rather than manipulation or deceit. Although he initially serves as one of Liko and Roy's greatest opponents, his growing doubts about the Explorers' true goals gradually lead him down a different path.
After discovering the organization's hidden intentions, Amethio distances himself from the Explorers and begins pursuing his own ideals. While no longer fighting for the organization, he continues traveling with his Pokémon, determined to uncover the truth and protect what he believes is right.

Despite becoming more confident, Dot still worries that she isn't always good at expressing her feelings. She often finds it easier to communicate through technology than face-to-face conversations, though she continues working to overcome this insecurity with the support of her friends.
Only those closest to her fully understand how much effort she puts into helping the team behind the scenes.

Dot is intelligent, observant, and naturally reserved. She prefers thinking before speaking and often analyzes situations from multiple angles before making a decision. Rather than relying on emotions alone, she values facts, preparation, and strategy.
Although she can appear distant to strangers, Dot genuinely cares about her friends and Pokémon. She simply struggles to express her emotions openly. Once she becomes comfortable around someone, her caring and occasionally playful side becomes much more noticeable.
Dot enjoys learning new information and is fascinated by Pokémon behavior, technology, and battle tactics. She constantly studies both allies and opponents to improve her understanding of the world around her.
During the Mega Voltage arc, she becomes considerably more confident and independent. While she still appreciates quiet moments, she no longer hides from social interactions and willingly takes leadership roles when her knowledge can help the team succeed.

Name: Dot
Occupation: Pokémon Trainer, Streamer ("Nidothing"), Member of the Rising Volt Tacklers
Home Region: Paldea
Dot is a highly intelligent and tech-savvy Trainer who travels with the Rising Volt Tacklers. Unlike Liko and Roy, she initially preferred staying inside her room aboard the Brave Olivine, spending most of her time researching Pokémon, gathering information, and producing livestreams under the online persona Nidothing. Because of her shy and introverted nature, very few people knew that the famous influencer and the quiet girl were actually the same person.
As her journey continued, Dot gradually stepped outside her comfort zone. Through her adventures with Liko, Roy, and the rest of the crew, she learned to trust others more openly and became an active participant in battles and expeditions instead of remaining behind a screen.
By the time of the Mega Voltage arc, Dot has matured significantly. She is far more confident in interacting with others while retaining her calm, analytical mindset. Her extensive knowledge of Pokémon, technology, and battle strategy makes her one of the team's most dependable members, often solving problems through careful observation and logical thinking.

Name: Roy
Occupation: Pokémon Trainer, Member of the Rising Volt Tacklers
Home Region: Kanto (Secluded island)
Roy is an energetic and adventurous boy who grew up on a small island far from the mainland. Raised by his grandfather, he spent most of his childhood exploring nature, helping with daily chores, and dreaming of meeting Legendary Pokémon. Unlike many young Trainers, Roy had little experience with the wider world, making him endlessly curious whenever he encountered new places, cultures, and Pokémon.
His greatest treasure was an ancient Poké Ball given to him by his grandfather. Although Roy didn't know its true origin, he believed it was connected to an incredible adventure waiting beyond his island home.
Roy's life changed when the Rising Volt Tacklers arrived on the island while protecting Liko and Terapagos. After witnessing their journey and meeting Liko, Roy decided to leave home and travel alongside the crew aboard the Brave Olivine. Determined to grow stronger, he vowed to discover the truth behind the Ancient Poké Ball, uncover the legend of Lucius, and eventually challenge powerful Trainers across the world.
Throughout the journey, Roy matures from an inexperienced but passionate boy into a capable Trainer who learns the importance of teamwork, strategy, and understanding his Pokémon.

Main: Meowscarada (Originally Sprigatito → Floragato → Meowscarada)
Liko's first partner Pokémon and her closest companion. Originally a playful and mischievous Sprigatito, it often acted independently while remaining deeply attached to Liko. Through countless battles and shared experiences, it evolved into Floragato and eventually Meowscarada (Grass/Dark Type), becoming an agile and intelligent battler that perfectly complements Liko's strategic style. Their partnership is built on complete trust rather than overwhelming strength.
Hattrem (Phychic/Fairy Type) (Originally Hatenna)
Liko caught Hatenna after earning its trust. Because Hatenna can sense emotions, it naturally gravitated toward Liko's gentle personality. After evolving into Hattrem, it became more composed while retaining its caring nature. Hattrem often provides emotional support and demonstrates strong psychic abilities during battles.
Armarouge — Calm, disciplined, and honorable; specializes in powerful long-range Fire- and Psychic-type attacks

The Legendary Pokémon that originally slept inside Liko's pendant. Initially appearing as a tiny turtle-like form, Terapagos gradually awakens as the adventure progresses. It shares a mysterious bond with Liko and plays a vital role in uncovering Lucius's ancient legacy. Although incredibly powerful, Terapagos chooses to stay with Liko because of the trust they develop throughout their journey rather than because of ownership.

Liko is a young teenage girl with fair skin, a slim build, and an average height for her age. She has shoulder-length dark blue hair with lighter blue highlights that frame her face. Her large blue eyes often reflect curiosity, uncertainty, or quiet determination depending on the situation.

Green necktie.
Blue shorts.

Academy backpack used for travel.
A mysterious pendant worn around her neck at all times.
During later adventures, her clothing changes occasionally depending on the situation, but she generally maintains a practical blue-and-white travel style while continuing to wear the pendant as her most recognizable accessory.

Liko possesses an ancient pendant that has been passed down through her family for generations. Unknown to most people, the pendant is actually connected to the Legendary Pokémon Terapagos, which remains dormant inside it until certain conditions awaken its power.
Because of the pendant, Liko becomes one of the primary targets of the Explorers, an organization seeking to obtain Terapagos and uncover the ancient treasures connected to Lucius.
Throughout her journey, Liko experiences mysterious visions and unexplained reactions whenever the pendant resonates with Terapagos or locations connected to Lucius's legend. These events slowly reveal forgotten history surrounding the Six Hero Pokémon.
As Terapagos awakens, Liko discovers that she shares a special bond with the Legendary Pokémon. Rather than simply being its owner, she becomes its trusted partner, allowing them to understand each other through mutual trust instead of command.
Very few people know the pendant's true origin or the full significance of Liko's role in Lucius's legacy, making her central to the unfolding mystery surrounding the ancient Pokémon.

Liko is naturally quiet, thoughtful, and introspective. She often spends time thinking before making decisions and has a habit of talking to herself internally whenever she's nervous or confused. Rather than acting impulsively, she carefully observes situations and tries to understand the emotions of both people and Pokémon.
Her kindness is one of her greatest strengths. She dislikes unnecessary conflict and believes that many problems can be solved through trust and understanding instead of force. Even toward opponents, Liko rarely shows hatred, choosing instead to understand their motives whenever possible.
Although she lacks confidence at the beginning of her journey, she never abandons those she cares about. When her friends or Pokémon are in danger, she gathers the courage to face powerful opponents despite her fears.
As she travels with the Rising Volt Tacklers, Liko gradually becomes more independent and decisive. She learns to trust her instincts, rely on her teammates when necessary, and accept that mistakes are part of growing stronger. Despite becoming more courageous, she remains humble, compassionate, and emotionally sensitive.

When the Explorers attempt to steal the pendant, Liko is rescued by Friede and the Rising Volt Tacklers.
