Horace (Japanese: トキオ Tokio) is a minor recurring anime character of Pokémon Journeys: The Series.

In the anime

Pre-series

 
Young Horace

Three years prior to Time After Time!, Horace encountered Goh while he was out searching for a Celebi. The two quickly became friends after realizing they were both looking for Mythical Pokémon and are equally knowledgeable. With the help of Mr. Norris's Sunflora, they searched for Celebi together in the Ilex Forest, only to encounter several wild Pokémon that scared them off.

They agreed to meet again the next day, but unknown to Goh, Horace had fallen ill and was unable to make it that day. Goh assumed Horace had stood him up and began holding a grudge against him.

A year later, Horace returned to the forest where he discovered the Ilex Forest shrine. He begged Celebi to take him back to a year ago so he could keep his promise with Goh, but his wish was never granted. Horace instead wrote an apology letter and put it inside of the shrine, hoping Goh would come back and find it.

Pokémon Journeys: The Series

Two years later, in the present day, Horace had become a Trainer and had a partner Chikorita. He returned to the shrine, where he reunited with Goh, who had discovered the letter. The two apologized for what happened in the past and rekindled their friendship.

Horace reappeared in JN102, where he was revealed to be a member of Project Mew. Horace was seen at Seafoam Islands, battling a Cloyster with his Bayleef when he encountered Ash and Goh. He allowed Goh to catch the Cloyster and joined them in exploring Seafoam Islands in search of Articuno, where they encountered Gary. On finding Articuno, Horace took part in a Raid Battle, using Bayleef, Indeedee, and Gardevoir, only for Articuno to eventually fly away.
