Overview
To enter Indigo Academy, a potential student must complete several interviews with teachers to define their skills and interests with their potential Pokémon partners.
As part of the Indigo Academy initiation process, the Headmistress gives a talk about the Pokémon world, and soon after, the teachers give the students their respective Rotom Phones and first partner Pokémon. The Academy's subjects cover aspects of the Pokémon world, such as battle methods, partnership, and friendship with the respective Pokémon partner.
Despite being mostly face-to-face, Indigo Academy has a distance learning modality. In this case, the class is broadcast live via a Rotom Phone for students to watch.
History
In The Pendant That Starts It All (Part One), Liko began her classes at Indigo Academy and, after receiving her first Pokémon and meeting her roommate Ann, she spent a few days adapting to her new Pokémon partner. Later, the Indigo Academy was the site of the first clash between the Rising Volt Tacklers and the Explorers.
In For Sure! 'Cause Sprigatito's with Me!, Liko revealed to Ann that he would only participate remotely in classes from then on.
As Liko started traveling with the Rising Volt Tacklers, the Indigo Academy started to appear in some specific events during the plot of Pokémon Horizons: The Series.
In The Door That Never Opens, Liko was briefly shown participating in an online class.
In The Lonely Hatenna, Liko was seen finishing participating in a class, after which Liko talked a little with Ann about the task they received which involved what each of the students would like to be in the future.
In HZ035, Liko was shown participating in an another online class, this time the objective of the class was for each student to choose a Trainer and their Pokémon and write a dissertation about it.
The Indigo Academy briefly appeared in a flashback in HZ040, where it was revealed that a group of Pokémon Breeders joined the teachers during each student's interviews. These Pokémon Breeders are responsible for raising the first partner Pokémon that will go to each of the students. In this episode, Liko met Manya, one of these breeders.
In HZ046, Liko transferred to Naranja Academy and it was revealed that Ann did the same.
