Pokémon Horizons: The Series [Season 1 Episodes 102-114]

Alright, let’s dive into the latest batch of Pokémon Horizons episodes—102 to 114. First off, if you haven’t been keeping up, this season’s been a breath of fresh air for the Pokémon anime. No Ash, no Pikachu (well, not as the main focus), just Liko and Roy, two new kids with their own dreams and Pokémon partners. And these episodes? They’re packed with character growth, unexpected catches, and some seriously fun moments that’ll make you grin like a kid who just found a rare Pokémon card.

Let’s start with the big news: Liko caught a Charcadet! If you’re a Scarlet and Violet fan, you know Charcadet evolves into either Armarouge or Ceruledge, depending on the version. And guess who has a Ceruledge? Amethio, the mysterious guy from the Explorers. So now Liko’s got a Charcadet that’s probably going to become Armarouge, setting up a sweet rivalry between her and Amethio. Fans are losing it over this—one MyAnimeList user even said, “I can already see Liko and Amethio facing off with their fire warriors, and it’s gonna be epic!” Another commented, “Liko with Charcadet and Amethio with Ceruledge? That’s a match made in Pokémon heaven. I need that battle now.”

But wait, how did Liko catch Charcadet? Turns out, it wasn’t a typical “throw a Poké Ball and hope” situation. Liko’s always been the type to bond with Pokémon first, and this time was no different. The Charcadet was protective of her, and she asked it if it wanted to stay and protect her. The Charcadet agreed, and bam—new team member! Fans loved this because it shows Liko’s kind heart. One user noted, “Liko has never thrown a Poké Ball to catch a Pokémon. They always choose her. That’s so her character, and I’m here for it.”

Then there’s Dot, the streamer girl who’s been pretty quiet lately. She had a battle with Penny (from Scarlet and Violet), and… let’s just say Dot didn’t win. But fans get it—Dot’s been busy streaming, not training. One commenter said, “The battle result made sense. Roy was training during the timeskip, but Dot was streaming. She needs to level up her skills if she wants to keep up.” Another added, “Dot’s team is still small, but I hope she gets a new Pokémon soon. She’s too cool to be left behind.”

And let’s not forget Roy! He’s got a Mega Shiny Lucario now, which is basically the Pokémon equivalent of a legendary. Fans are hyped about his growth, with one saying, “Roy’s come so far from the kid who didn’t know how to battle. Now he’s got a Mega Lucario? Watch out, world!” But some are worried he’s overshadowing Liko. One user pointed out, “Liko’s the main character, but Roy’s getting all the cool Pokémon. I hope she gets more time to shine.”

The episodes also had some fun filler moments, like the return of those iconic Scarlet and Violet sandwiches. Fans laughed at the reference, with one saying, “The sandwiches are back! I half-expected them to start a picnic in the middle of a battle.” And then there’s Pagogo, the Pokémon with the worst sense of direction ever. Fans joked, “Pagogo needs a GPS. Or a leash. Either way, his antics are hilarious.”

But it’s not all fun and games. The Explorers are still a threat, and there’s a mysterious “Strong Sphere” that everyone’s after. One fan theorized, “The Strong Sphere is probably connected to Terapagos, the legendary Pokémon from the series. I bet it’s going to play a big role in the finale.” Another added, “Amethio and Friede are traveling together now? That’s a twist. I wonder if they’ll team up or betray each other.”

Overall, these episodes are a mix of character development, fan service, and setup for the big finale. Fans are loving the direction the series is going, with one user summing it up: “Horizons is finally finding its groove. Liko’s growth, Roy’s power, and the rivalry with Amethio—this is the Pokémon anime I’ve been waiting for.”

So, if you’re a Pokémon fan, do yourself a favor and catch up on these episodes. Whether you’re here for the battles, the character moments, or just to see Liko’s new Charcadet, there’s something for everyone. And with the season wrapping up soon, you won’t want to miss what happens next.

Note: If you’re struggling to find the episodes, some fans mentioned that Japanese airings are up by Saturday with subs. Happy watching!
