Summary via Adamant

The Volt Tacklers go to the Wild Area of the Galar Region after Dot obtains some eyewitness accounts of Rayquaza sightings there, but the accounts turned out to be inaccurate. After seeing how frustrated this made Dot, Liko suggests they make some curry together, and the group decides to take a short rest in the area. Meanwhile, all the Explorers executives gather at HQ.

...Gibeon's going to make an example of someone, isn't he? <_<

(Though I'm gonna have a lot of fun on Caption the Screenshots that week! )

 

[Poke Trey]

It'll be worth it to see Dot's expressions lol. It also looks as if we're still to be in Galar after the old castle plot. Really taking their time with this.

 

[RetroPokeFan]

At last, the Explorers are finally going to be together to put their next plan into motion.

 

[skynerel]

At least we know the explorers didn’t get terapagos which makes me wonder if Gibeon is going to be mad at the explorers.

 

[Nicolas721]

So this is HZ013 II but with a much better side plot.

I wonder if they'll make Wild Area's style closer to Journeys this time.

 

[Articfoxgamez]

Guess Airship episodes can happen in between same reigon episodes, thats fun to know.

 

[Sakuraa]

The summary makes me hope it's a Dot episode. I want more Quaxly screentime!

We are waiting to appear the new opening in episode 25 and more next episodes in the new season, if the old Pokemon characters appear where the regions are in animes and video games like the same franchise in the future episodes of Pokemon Horizons until complete, Includes Ash and Pikachu.
And if it fails when the old characters do not appear where the regions are, the rating will drop, no more episodes in the future and Pokemon Horizons will be canceled forever.

I don't think the majority of die-hard Ash fans are watching Horizons for his return. Ratings will not suddenly dip if he doesn't show up again in the near future. Methinks it is time to move on...

Well, if Ash and Pikachu don't appear back in Pokemon Horizons no matter what, we hope to announce the movie in the future that I send it to Pokemon Company International yesterday in July.

Dude, you've already bought this up in another preview thread. Let it go. We got enough old characters in Journeys. Horizons needs to try standing on its own two feet before bringing back old characters. And I'd rather they didn't. Heck, part the time it was an act of desperation in Journeys (and a bigger act of desperation in BW).

I'm fine without them for the time being, thank you.

You're welcome, let him go and don't say heck.

Don't worry I heard Ash and his Pikachu's departure is temporary so they might appear again.

This literally has "Trust me, my daddy works at the company called Nintendo" energy.

Yeah. Also seems like something a die-hard Ash fan who WANTS the Horizons to flop just so that Ash will return BECAUSE they don't like that Ash has left.

When will Ash and Pikachu return in the anime?

 

[Rockapheller]

When will Ash and Pikachu return in the anime?

It hasn't been confirmed by the staff that Ash and Pikachu are intended to return in the show. For now, there is no evidence in that regard and they are unlikely to return in the anime unless otherwise is expressed in the future.

Being said, I find the chances extremely unlikely that Ash and Pikachu will return and stay in Horizons.

I know it's just not the same without them that's all.

So is there any Mega Evolution Z moves and Gigantamax in this new series?
