'' | The Explorers debuted in ''[[HZ001|The Pendant That Starts It All (Part One)]]''. One day, [[Amethio]] approached Liko at Indigo Academy's dormitories and, while under the guise of a representative of Diana, lied about being entasked to pick up the pendant in order to return it to her grandmother. Feeling something was amiss, Liko attempted to escape from him and his cohorts, [[Zirc]] and [[Onia]], but ended up cornered in a rooftop until [[Friede]] swooped in at the right time and engaged Amethio in a battle. Upon witnessing the collateral damage the battle was causing, Liko tried to run away and almost got hit by a stray {{m|Psycho Cut}} if not by her pendant suddenly generating an energy field in order to shield her, which Friede used as an opening to escape with her to the [[Brave Olivine]]. The Explorers, however, did not give up and [[HZ002|followed them to the airship]], even amidst a vicious thunderstorm. There, Friede and Amethio clashed again, albeit briefly, as this time, Liko stepped in, having her {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}} unleash a {{m|Leafage}} powerful enough to break the barrier around the battlefield and expose everyone to the unrelenting weather. This forced the Explorers to retreat, but not without taking the {{pkmn|category|Grass Cat Pokémon}} as a hostage. | ||

In ''[[HZ003|For Sure! 'Cause Sprigatito's with Me!]]'', Amethio battled against Friede once again; this time, however, the {{pkmn|Professor}} was just distracting him to allow Liko to find Sprigatito in the warehouse where they were hiding. While this was happening, Zirc managed to plant a tracker on Brave Olivine's hull. This allowed for the Explorers to follow the ship all the way to [[Roy's hometown|Roy's island]] via submarine, where both parties clashed once more in ''[[HZ005|Found You, Fuecoco!]]'' and ''[[HZ006|The Ancient Poké Ball]]''. As Liko's Sprigatito and [[Roy]]'s soon-to-be {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}} were being overwhelmed by [[Amethio's Ceruledge]], the girl's pendant synced with the boy's Ancient Poké Ball, which finally opened up. From the artifact, emerged a mighty [[Black Rayquaza]], who indiscriminately rained devastation all over the the beach with a singular {{m|Draco Meteor}}, forcing the Explorers to retreat. Later, during a meeting with the other Explorers's higher-ups, [[Gibeon]], the organization's leader, removed Amethio from the mission of collecting the pendant and assigned it to [[Spinel]]. Afterwards, Amethio communicated to Zirc and Onia that he was going to pursue the Black Rayquaza from now on, believing its connection with the pendant to hold the key to the mystery behind it. | |||

In ''[[HZ012|The Future I Choose]]'', it was revealed that Spinel was spying on the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] during their time in [[Paldea]] in order to learn more about them. The knowledge he acquired is put to use in the following episodes, as he commences his attack on them. First, in ''[[HZ013|An Unexpected Picnic!]]'', he positioned his fleet of {{p|Magneton}} around the Brave Olivine in order to mess with the electronics of the ship, rendering it powerless during a system reboot. | |||
