The series features dual protagonists [[Liko]] and [[Roy]], who join together with a group of adventurers known as the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] and set out to travel the [[Pokémon world]] with them, visiting all the [[region]]s introduced in the [[core series]] from [[Kanto]] to [[Paldea]]. Liko also finds herself targeted by the mysterious [[Explorers]] organization, which is after her equally mysterious pendant. During the series, [[Dot]], one of the members of the Rising Volt Tacklers, joined the group of main characters and began traveling with Liko and Roy in order to participate in the [[Terastal Training]] conducted by [[Naranja Academy]]. For the first time in Pokémon anime history, ''Pokémon Horizons: The Series'' features an all-new cast of characters and a more linear plot without many ties to previous anime series.
