The '''Explorers''' (Japanese: '''エクスプローラーズ''' ''Explorers'') are a [[Villainous team|mysterious organization]] led by [[Gibeon]], and the main antagonists of ''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]''. They've pursued {{an|Terapagos}}, the [[Black Rayquaza]], and the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]], becoming their enemies in the process. All of this has been in furtherance of their main goal of reaching [[Lakua]], although their motivations behind this goal are unknown.

Originally the Explorers was a group made of friends of [[Lucius]]. Although neither their purpose nor ensuing fate are known, the organization managed to exist in the present, well after Lucius found Lakua.

At some point in the past, [[Hamber]] joined the Explorers and approached [[Diana]], an old friend of his, with an offer to join the organization under the pretext of introducing her to [[Gibeon|someone who could aid her adventures]]. However, this was actually an attempt to obtain her pendant, which she refused to hand over. After that, the Explorers decided to pursue the pendant until they found out that it was in the possession of Diana's granddaughter [[Liko]], at which point they decided to find her in order to take it. Eventually, they were able to find Liko attending the [[Indigo Academy]] in the [[Kanto]] [[region]].

In ''[[HZ024|Reunion at the Ancient Castle!]]'', Amethio, Zirc, and Onia reported their findings to Hamber, which quickly contacted other Admins to head with him to the Galar region: he recruited [[Coral]] and [[Sidian]], as Spinel and [[Chalce]] were occupied in the Explorers's laboratory. Amethio's team followed Liko, Roy, and Friede to an [[ancient castle]] near [[Hammerlocke]], where they surrounded them in order to take the mysterious Pokémon away. The confrontation extended into the [[HZ025|following episode]] and ended up with Amethio's first official loss to Friede. Meanwhile, Hamber and his {{p|Dusknoir}} arrived at the place and confronted Diana, who questioned him about the Explorers's motives to target them. Then, a commotion provided by the arrival of Coral and Sidian allowed for her to escape the scene, as well as for Amethio's team to leave before being caught in the crossfire. The two Admins cornered Liko and Roy, only for Captain Pikachu to arrive and rescue them, fending off her {{p|Glalie}} and his {{p|Garganacl}} at once. This, however, made Coral snap and recklessly order her Glalie to use {{m|Self-Destruct}}, allowing the Rising Volt Tacklers to escape and leaving the ancient castle in ruins.

In ''[[HZ027|As Long as I'm with My Friends]]'', while the Rising Volt Tacklers had been once again caught in false information spread by Spinel, the Explorers Admins had a meeting to discuss their next move. They eventually concluded that the best course of action would be pursuing the Black Rayquaza itself instead of Terapagos in order to stay ahead. In [[HZ033]], Amethio's team detected that the Black Rayquaza in the [[Lapras Sea]], and as such they immediately went after it. However, despite his best efforts, he lost very easily when trying to battle it. Amethio also witnessed Terapagos transforming into its {{form|Terapagos|Terastal Form}} as it conjured up strength in order to protect Liko. In the [[HZ034|following episode]], after asking Hamber to train him in order to become stronger, they held a training match between their {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon, which ended up with a victory to Hamber after he {{Tera}}stallized his Dusknoir. Afterwards, he gave a [[Tera Orb]] to Amethio and set him in the direction of mastering the Terastal phenomenon in order to draw out its full power.

After Amethio's failure, Spinel came up with a new plan to catch the Black Rayquaza, aided by Coral, Sidian, and Chalce. Prior to [[HZ042]], the Explorers led the construction of a tower on an island near Levincia as part of the plan, which the Rising Volt Tacklers were made aware of in [[HZ043]] and started being enacted in [[HZ044]]. The tower itself was a red herring; its true purpose was to separate Friede from the rest of the group. The real plan involved attracting Rayquaza by simulating Terapagos's energy signature through a resonance generator, wearing it down by attacking him with powerful, super effective moves, and finally catching it in an [[Ultra Ball]]. The Rising Volt Tacklers managed to stall the Explorers for time enough to allow Dot to create a shutdown program and disable the resonance generator, allowing Rayquaza to free itself from the onslaught of attacks. Once again, Coral let her temper overcome her better judgment and commanded Glalie to use Self-Destruct, which collided with Rayquaza's {{m|Dragon Pulse}}. The resulting explosion was powerful enough to blast the Legendary Pokémon directly into the hull of the Brave Olivine. In the [[HZ045|following episode]], the four Admins retreated. As Liko, Roy, and Friede were battling against the Black Rayquaza, Amethio arrived at the scene and worked in conjunction with them. Despite his Ceruledge and [[Friede's Charizard]] having Terastallized, they ended up defeated by a single {{m|Dragon Ascent}}. At the end of the episode, the admins had another meeting and were instructed by Gibeon to stay low and wait for the Rising Volt Tacklers to gather the Six Heroes for them, but to still keep their eyes on them for the time being. Gibeon then claimed that his and Lucius's adventure was not over yet as his {{p|Zygarde}} watched.
