'''Amethio''' (Japanese: '''アメジオ''' ''Amethio'') is a {{pkmn|Trainer}} who belongs to the mysterious organization [[Explorers]], and a supporting character in ''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]''. After witnessing the efforts of the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] to protect [[Liko]], Amethio decided to discover the secrets that Liko's pendant hides at all costs.

==In the anime==
===History===
[[File:Amethio HZ001.png|250px|thumb|left|Amethio ready to do battle with Friede]]
Amethio debuted in [[HZ001]]. He was first seen entering the [[Indigo Academy]] while searching for [[Liko]]. When they met, he introduced himself as an associate of her grandmother, and requested Liko's pendant. Liko, distrusting him, attempted to escape but got caught up in a battle against Amethio's teammate [[Zir]] and his {{p|Rhydon}}. He caught up with her on the roof of the academy, only for [[Friede]] to appear on the back of his {{p|Charizard}} and interfere, clashing with his {{p|Ceruledge}}. 

Amethio witnessed the power Liko's mysterious pendant held and, in [[HZ002|the following episode]], led the rest of his group on an aerial chase for Friede and Liko back to the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]]'s airship. After breaking through the ship's forcefield, Amethio threatened Liko to come with them, and she nearly complied, but they were stopped by Friede and [[Captain Pikachu]]. They resumed the battle from earlier, but Friede chose his Pikachu this time, which Amethio saw as a taunt. Once more, their battle ended without a winner, as Liko interrupted the battle. Her {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}} then unleashed a {{m|Leafage}} strong enough to break the forcefield around the battlefield, but was blown overboard in the process. Seeing this as a chance to gain leverage over the situation, Amethio captured Sprigatito and fled with his teammates.

In [[HZ003|the following episode]], Amethio assigned Zir to spy on [[Brave Asagi]] and Conia to look after Sprigatito. When his group was found by the Rising Volt Taclkers, Amethio had another battle with Friede, which ended when Liko managed to rescue her Pokémon. [[HZ004|Some time later]], Amethio decided to report to Hamber on the progress of his mission, after which he decided to take responsibility for discovering the pendant's secrets.

===Character===
[[File:Friede and Amethio rivalry.png|250px|thumb|left|Amethio and Friede]]
Amethio is a formal person who does not show much emotion in many situations. However, his politeness is a front he uses to manipulate others into giving him what he wants.

He is a strong {{pkmn|Trainer}} and appears to have sparked somewhat of a rivalry with [[Friede]], even suggesting to resume a battle they dropped off earlier in [[HZ002]]. He also doesn't take lightly to being underestimated, expressing his irritation when Friede chose his [[Captain Pikachu|Pikachu]] to battle him.

Despite his forceful means, Amethio seems to not want to use unnecessary violence to attain his goals, such as when he flinched when his {{p|Ceruledge}}'s {{m|Psycho Cut}} missed and caused an explosion on Brave Asagi, as well as saving {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}} from falling. He also did not have any ill intent towards Sprigatito while it was his hostage, allowing [[Conia]] to deal with it her own way.

In [[HZ002|the following episode]], Ceruledge is used to battle [[Captain Pikachu]]. Although its opponent managed to battle Ceruledge on equal terms, but the battle ended without a winner when Liko decided to step in.

In [[HZ003]], Ceruledge was used to battle Friede and Captain Pikachu once again. This was a distraction to keep Amethio busy whilst Liko went to find her {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}}. After Liko found Sprigatito, the battle ended with Friede making his escape.
