The Pendant of Beginnings will center around Liko, a young girl who has just received her very first Pokemon, Sprigatito. Liko is however struggling to bond with her new partner and things only get more complicated when mysterious figures start pursuing her in search of a valuable pendant, presumably the eponymous Pendant of Beginnings.

In addition to Liko and Roy, fans can expect to meet a host of new characters in Pokemon Horizons, the main ones to look out for being the Rising Volt Tacklers led by Friede and Captain Pikachu. This group travels around Paldea on an airship accompanied by Orla and her partner Pokemon, Metagross.

“Liko, a girl from the Paldea region, has enrolled at Sekiei Academy, a boarding school in the Kanto region,” Anipoke_PR explains on Twitter. “Liko is delighted to receive her first Pokemon, Sprigatito, but it doesn’t listen to her at all. While Liko struggles to deepen her bond with Sprigatito, on the other hand, suspicious people appear who are looking for Liko’s mysterious pendant?!”

While some fans may be disappointed to see Ash and Pikachu stepping aside, others are excited to see what new adventures await with Liko and Roy. There has also been speculation that Ash and Pikachu may soon make an appearance in the upcoming live-action adaptation of the series which is currently scheduled to show up on Netflix at some point in the near future. With stunning visuals, intriguing characters, and a fresh take on the series, Pokemon Horizons will surely be a hit with fans both old and new.
