Pokémon Horizons: The Series

Artazon was first mentioned by Alex at the end of Welcome to Paldea!, telling Liko and Friede that the Black Rayquaza may have been seen by Brassius, an artist who lives in the town.

Artazon first appeared in Nemona and Brassius and…, where it was visited by Liko and Roy. During their visit, they met Nemona and Brassius, learning that the Gym Leader was experiencing an artist's block after an encounter with the Black Rayquaza, causing him to have temporarily closed the Artazon Gym. After learning that Rayquaza had served as an inspiration for Roy's journey, Brassius challenged him to a battle to see if he was worthy of facing the Legendary Pokémon. The battle ended in Brassius's victory after he Terastallized his Sudowoodo. Afterwards, he directed Liko and Roy to the forest where he had seen Rayquaza.

In The Future I Choose, Friede visited the library in Artazon, coincidentally meeting up with Liko's mother and his former teacher Lucca while there.

In Someone We Can't See! Whosawhatsit?, the Rising Volt Tacklers searched for Liko around Artazon after she had gone missing, until they learned that she was actually in Levincia, them having fallen for fake information spread by Spinel.

In HZ048, Liko, Roy, and Dot arrived in Artazon, just in time for an annual art festival. After meeting up with Brassius, Hassel, and Alex, Roy had a battle with Nemona and lost. The children then created their own pieces of art to be displayed at the festival, after which Brassius agreed to have his Terastal Training battle with Roy. This time, Roy was able to use his improved battle skills and newly acquired ability to use Terastallization to defeat Brassius, passing his first test.

Pokémon Adventures

Scarlet & Violet arc

Artazon first appeared in PASV08 after Scarlet had arrived there. She initially stopped to look at "Surrendering Sunflora" statue, impressing Brassius to tears when she instantly understood what he had tried to convey with his art piece. Upon learning that Brassius was the local Gym Leader, Scarlet reluctantly agreed to battle him in exchange for information about the treasures of ruin. After passing the Gym Test, Scarlet faced Brassius and managed to defeat him, though she requested to visit a buffet before asking Brassius about the treasures of ruin. Afterwards, Brassius was ready to answer Scarlet's question, though all he was able to tell her was that the treasures of ruin were actually Pokémon, which Scarlet, who had been hired to look for them by a client, hadn't been aware of.
