Pokémon Horizons

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. Leader Gibeon High-Ranking Members Spinel Amethio (Former Executive) Agate Coral Sidian Chalce Hamber Objectives Obtain Terapagos and its power. Discover and control the Six Hero Pokémon. Uncover Lucius's ancient secrets. Recover legendary artifacts connected to Rakua. Expand the organization's influence through knowledge, technology, and power. Fulfill Gibeon's vision, though individual members often pursue their own ambitions.

Sableye Spinel's signature Pokémon and closest partner. Sableye is cunning, agile, and specializes in confusing opponents through stealth, illusions, and unpredictable movements. It perfectly complements Spinel's strategic mindset, often creating opportunities through deception rather than direct confrontation. Their teamwork is seamless, allowing them to execute complex plans with remarkable precision. Umbreon Umbreon is calm, disciplined, and exceptionally patient. It excels at defensive battles, wearing down opponents while waiting for the perfect moment to strike. Its composed nature mirrors Spinel's own personality, making it one of his most reliable partners. Beheeyem Beheeyem possesses powerful Psychic-type abilities that allow it to manipulate the battlefield and overwhelm opponents through precise control rather than brute strength. Spinel frequently relies on Beheeyem's intelligence and psychic powers to support his carefully planned strategies. Chandelure Chandelure serves as one of Spinel's strongest offensive Pokémon. It combines devastating Ghost- and Fire-type attacks with an eerie, intimidating presence. Spinel uses Chandelure when subtle tactics are no longer enough, overwhelming opponents with calculated power while maintaining complete control of the battle. Spinel's team reflects his philosophy as a Trainer. Rather than relying solely on raw strength, his Pokémon excel through intelligence, deception, battlefield control, and flawless coordination. Every battle is treated like a game of strategy, with Spinel carefully orchestrating each move until his opponent has nowhere left to escape.

Spinel is a tall, slender man with fair skin and a refined appearance. He has neatly styled light blond hair, sharp blue-green eyes, and a composed expression that rarely changes, regardless of the situation. His calm smile often hides his true intentions, giving him an air of quiet confidence. He carries himself with elegance and professionalism, always maintaining excellent posture and speaking with measured confidence. Standard Outfit White suit jacket with dark accents. Dark shirt and matching trousers. Black gloves. Formal shoes suitable for travel. Explorer insignia incorporated into his attire. His polished appearance reflects his sophisticated personality and preference for maintaining control in every situation.

Spinel's loyalty to the Explorers is driven less by devotion and more by his own ambitions. While he faithfully carries out missions, he is constantly gathering knowledge and positioning himself to benefit from every situation. 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. He believes emotions often cloud judgment and prefers relying on logic, preparation, and strategy to achieve his goals. Rather than confronting opponents directly, Spinel enjoys exploiting their weaknesses, predicting their decisions, and forcing them into situations where victory becomes nearly impossible. Spinel possesses remarkable patience, willingly waiting for the perfect opportunity instead of rushing into action. He rarely underestimates his opponents, choosing to study them carefully before making his move. Although he appears friendly and cooperative, his words often hide deeper intentions, making it difficult for others to know what he is truly thinking.

Name: Spinel Occupation: Explorer Executive, Researcher, Strategist Spinel is one of the highest-ranking members of the Explorers and is regarded as one of the organization's most intelligent and dangerous operatives. Unlike other executives who rely primarily on overwhelming strength, Spinel specializes in careful planning, deception, and psychological warfare. Every action he takes is calculated several steps ahead, allowing him to manipulate situations to his advantage before his opponents even realize they are being controlled. As one of Gibeon's most trusted subordinates, Spinel plays a major role in the search for Terapagos and the secrets surrounding Lucius. His extensive knowledge of Pokémon, history, and technology allows him to uncover information that others would easily overlook. Rather than acting out of loyalty alone, Spinel pursues his own ambitions, believing intelligence and careful planning are the greatest forms of power. Even among the Explorers, Spinel is respected and feared for his ability to remain calm while controlling events from the shadows.

Ceruledge Amethio's signature Pokémon and closest partner. Calm, disciplined, and exceptionally powerful, Ceruledge mirrors Amethio's personality almost perfectly. It specializes in swift sword-based combat, overwhelming opponents through speed, precision, and relentless offense rather than brute force alone. The trust between Amethio and Ceruledge allows them to battle with remarkable synchronization, making them one of the strongest Trainer–Pokémon partnerships in the series. Kingambit Kingambit is a proud and commanding Pokémon that embodies discipline and leadership. It excels in direct combat, using its immense strength and tactical awareness to pressure opponents. Its unwavering loyalty reflects the respect it has for Amethio as a Trainer. Houndoom Houndoom is fierce, fearless, and highly dependable. It supports Amethio with relentless offensive pressure while remaining calm enough to execute precise strategies. Its intimidating presence often forces opponents onto the defensive before the battle truly begins. Amethio's team is built around discipline, precision, and unwavering trust. Every Pokémon fights with confidence and purpose, reflecting Amethio's belief that true strength comes from mutual respect, rigorous training, and an unbreakable bond between Trainer and Pokémon.

Amethio is a tall, slender young man with fair skin and an elegant appearance. He has silver-white hair styled neatly with long bangs framing his face, along with striking blue eyes that reflect his calm and focused personality. His expressions are usually serious, though moments of determination or concern occasionally break through his composed demeanor. He carries himself with confidence and dignity, giving the impression of someone disciplined and highly trained. Standard Outfit Long black coat with purple accents. Dark fitted shirt and trousers. Black gloves. Dark boots suitable for travel and battle. Explorer insignia worn as part of his uniform during his time with the organization. Even after leaving the Explorers, his appearance remains neat and formal, reflecting his disciplined lifestyle.

Amethio is a descendant of Gibeon, the founder and leader of the Explorers. Despite this family connection, he never desired authority or power simply because of his bloodline. Instead, he wished to prove himself through his own abilities as a Trainer. 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. Although he appears cold and distant, Amethio possesses a strong sense of justice and honor. 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. His experiences gradually teach him to question blind loyalty and make decisions based on his own beliefs rather than the orders of others.

Name: Amethio Age: Approximately 16–18 years old Occupation: Pokémon Trainer, Former Explorer Executive Amethio is a skilled Trainer who was once one of the Explorers' strongest operatives. As a member of the organization, he was assigned to recover the mysterious pendant carried by Liko and later became deeply involved in the search for Terapagos and the secrets surrounding Lucius. 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.

Organization: Rising Volt Tacklers (RVT) The Rising Volt Tacklers are an independent group of Trainers, researchers, mechanics, medics, and adventurers led by Professor Friede. Traveling aboard their airship, the Brave Olivine, they explore regions across the Pokémon world while researching Pokémon, investigating ancient legends, and helping anyone in need. Unlike official organizations, the Rising Volt Tacklers are not affiliated with any League, government, or academy. Every member contributes their own unique skills, allowing the team to function as a close-knit family rather than a formal organization. The crew believes that trust between Trainers and Pokémon is the foundation of true strength. They respect Pokémon as partners, protect them from harm, and avoid unnecessary battles whenever possible. Even when facing dangerous enemies, they always prioritize saving lives over claiming victory. The Rising Volt Tacklers often become involved in ancient mysteries surrounding Lucius, the Six Hero Pokémon, and Terapagos. Their adventures take them across multiple regions as they uncover forgotten history while protecting the people and Pokémon caught in the conflict.

Designed for long-distance travel across multiple regions, it allows the crew to live, work, and conduct research while constantly exploring the Pokémon world. Rather than simply being a vehicle, the airship is considered the crew's home, where every member contributes to its daily operation and upkeep. The airship is equipped with everything needed for extended journeys, including private living quarters for the crew, a spacious dining room where everyone gathers for meals, a fully equipped kitchen managed by Murdock, a medical room overseen by Mollie for treating injured Pokémon and crew members, a workshop where Orla performs maintenance and repairs, storage areas for supplies and equipment, and a cockpit where Friede pilots the ship alongside Captain Pikachu. The upper deck provides an open-air observation area where crew members and Pokémon often relax, train, or enjoy the scenery during flights. Pokémon freely roam the airship, interacting with one another and the crew, giving the Brave Olivine a warm and family-like atmosphere. The Brave Olivine regularly travels between regions while responding to reports of unusual Pokémon activity, assisting people in need, researching ancient mysteries, and carrying out missions assigned by Professor Friede.

Dark pants. Brown belt and utility pouches for travel. Durable boots suitable for exploration. Protective goggles worn around his neck or head during research and flights. His practical outfit reflects both his work as a field researcher and his adventurous lifestyle.

Friede is far more skilled in Pokémon battles than his easygoing personality suggests. His years of traveling and research have given him extensive experience against powerful Trainers and dangerous opponents. He possesses a deep understanding of Pokémon behavior, regional ecosystems, and ancient history, allowing him to recognize clues and solve mysteries that others might overlook. His knowledge frequently helps the Rising Volt Tacklers navigate unfamiliar situations and uncover hidden truths. While Friede prefers peaceful solutions whenever possible, he never hesitates to battle if it means protecting innocent people or his crew. His greatest strength lies not only in his skill as a Trainer but also in his ability to inspire trust, courage, and cooperation among those around him.

Friede is calm, friendly, and dependable. He maintains a relaxed attitude in everyday life, often smiling and encouraging those around him, but immediately becomes focused whenever someone is in danger. He believes every Trainer and Pokémon has the potential to grow through trust and experience rather than simply becoming stronger through battle. Instead of giving direct answers, Friede often guides others to discover solutions for themselves, allowing them to build confidence through their own decisions. Despite being highly intelligent, he never acts superior to others. He enjoys learning from both children and adults, believing that every journey offers something new to discover. His open-minded attitude makes him approachable, and the crew often turns to him for advice and reassurance.

Rather than remaining in a laboratory, Friede prefers conducting research firsthand by traveling across different regions and observing Pokémon in their natural habitats. He first meets Liko while rescuing her from the Explorers, who are pursuing the mysterious pendant she inherited from her grandmother. Recognizing the danger surrounding her, Friede invites Liko aboard the Brave Olivine, where she soon becomes part of the Rising Volt Tacklers. Later, Roy and Dot also join the crew, and Friede serves as both their mentor and guide throughout their adventures. As the leader of the Rising Volt Tacklers, Friede coordinates expeditions, develops strategies, and ensures the safety of his crew.

Main: Sableye Ult's signature Pokémon and closest companion. Sableye is playful, mischievous, and incredibly agile, often confusing opponents through unpredictable movements and clever Ghost-type tactics. It enjoys teasing both allies and opponents, but becomes completely focused once a battle begins. Despite its playful personality, Sableye is a skilled battler that trusts Ult without hesitation. The two share excellent teamwork, often understanding each other's intentions with only a glance. Ult encourages Sableye's creativity in battle, allowing it to fight freely while providing timely commands whenever needed.

Dot is secretly the famous online Pokémon content creator and livestreamer known as Nidothing, a popular internet personality recognized by Trainers across multiple regions. For a long time, she kept this identity hidden, using a mascot avatar and voice filters to separate her online life from her personal one. She possesses exceptional technological skills, allowing her to research Pokémon, hack into complex systems when necessary, operate advanced equipment, and quickly analyze battle data. Her ability to gather and process information often gives the Rising Volt Tacklers an advantage during investigations. 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.

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.

Roy shares a particularly strong connection with the Ancient Poké Ball and the legends surrounding Lucius.

Rather than dwelling on mistakes, he treats every battle as an opportunity to learn and improve. He has an adventurous spirit and loves exploring unfamiliar places.

While this impulsiveness occasionally gets him into trouble, his courage and sincerity often inspire those around him.

Although he can be stubborn, he willingly listens to advice from friends and mentors once he realizes they want to help. As his journey progresses, Roy becomes more disciplined and develops better battle instincts. His natural confidence evolves into genuine leadership, allowing him to support his teammates instead of relying solely on determination.

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.

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, 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 (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. Terapagos 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. Her expressions are generally gentle, though she becomes noticeably more confident as her journey progresses. She usually carries herself politely and calmly, rarely making exaggerated movements or speaking loudly. Her posture often reflects her reserved personality, especially when meeting new people. Standard Outfit White short-sleeved Indigo Academy uniform shirt. Green necktie. Blue shorts. Dark knee-high socks. Brown shoes. 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.
