Pokémon Horizons continues its exciting storyline with the introduction of a new Gym Leader and the recovery of Liko's memories in the previous episode. Now, the spotlight turns to the mission of retrieving her pendant, with an important role assigned to Dot. Dot, a member of the airship crew and a recluse, emerged from seclusion to aid in the search for the missing Liko.
When Do Pokémon Horizons Episodes Release?
Currently, Pokémon Horizons new episodes are exclusively airing in Japan. The episodes are broadcast on TV Tokyo network every Friday at 6:55 PM JST. For viewers in the US, this translates to 5:55 AM on the East Coast and 2:55 AM on the West Coast. International audiences can potentially access the series through satellite broadcasting, which is currently the only legal option to watch it outside of Japan. However, since the episodes are in Japanese without subtitles, it may pose a challenge for fans who wish to watch them early. Fortunately, an English dubbed version of Pokémon Horizons has been confirmed, but it is scheduled for release in 2023.
What Happened in Pokémon Horizons Episode 15?
Pokémon Horizons episode 15 witnessed the unfortunate situation of Liko being left alone in Velincia with her memory wiped out by the villainous Spinel. Consequently, she was unable to recall how she arrived in Paldea and most of the series' events. As Liko aimlessly wandered, the airship crew initiated a search for her. Regrettably, Spinel deceived the team with false information, causing them to waste valuable time searching the wrong city. To rectify the situation, Dot took the initiative by contacting Iono, Velincia's Gym Leader and fellow streamer, who devised a game to assist in locating Liko. Fortunately, the ploy proved successful, and shortly thereafter, Dot and Roy successfully located Liko, leading to the gradual return of her memory.
Pokémon Horizons Episode 16 Seeks to Return Liko's Pendant
Now that Liko has returned safely to the airship's crew, their next objective is to retrieve her pendant from Spinel. The episode is titled "With Quaxly, I Can Do It!", implying that Dot and Quaxly will play a significant role in the upcoming conflict. In the preview, Dot is seen leading Quaxly into battle, marking her first engagement in the series so far. Spinel appears to be a formidable opponent, armed with Beheeyem, Magneton, and possibly even a Bisharp. Luckily, Liko, Dot, and Roy have Friede's assistance to rely on, providing them with the strength necessary to overcome Spinel.
Spinel, the challenging new villain, may not pose a significant threat in a face-to-face encounter due to his cunning tactics. However, if the team manages to retrieve Liko's pendant, it will resolve the situation and allow the airship to continue its journey to the Galar region, which was previously hinted as their next destination. The upcoming episode's success will greatly influence the future of the story, as Pokémon Horizons' destiny is currently being molded.
