In [[SM106]], Horacio and his brothers arrived at [[Vast Poni Canyon]]. There, he challenged Sophocles to a race to see who could obtain a legendary "Bug Stone" that he believed could evolve any {{type|Bug}}. Due to Sophocles's fear of the dark, he struggled to get through a cave, allowing Horacio to easily get ahead and make his way to a rope bridge that led to the Bug Stone. Horacio tried crossing the bridge, only for it to collapse underneath his feet, leaving him and Charjabug to hold onto it for safety. Sophocles's own Charjabug subsequently evolved into a {{p|Vikavolt}} and carried Horacio and his Charjabug to safety, before retrieving the Bug Stone. Afterwards, Sophocles gave the Bug Stone to Horacio, only for it to not work when he tried it on his Charjabug. He then learned that Charjabug evolve into Vikavolt with the canyon's [[special magnetic field]], not an [[evolutionary stone]]. Horacio then vowed to train and evolve his Charjabug so they could face Sophocles in a Vikavolt race one day, before taking his leave. | In ''[[SM106|Evolving Research!]]'', Horacio and his brothers arrived at [[Vast Poni Canyon]].

In [[SM119]], Horacio participated the [[Vikavolt race]] to settle his score with Sophocles. It was also revealed that his {{p|Charjabug}} had evolved into {{p|Vikavolt}} during his time at Vast Poni Canyon. Eventually, he lost the race and congratulated Sophocles for beating him once again before vowing to have a rematch with him someday. | In [[SM119]], Horacio participated the [[Vikavolt race]] to settle his score with Sophocles.

In his [[SM041|first appearance]], Horacio was arrogant and condescending, believing that his Charjabug's top-class equipment and {{stat|Speed}}-increasing [[nature]] would allow him to win the race with ease. He was also a bad sport, mocking {{an|Sophocles}} and the latter's {{p|Charjabug}}. He also disregarded the well-being of his Pokémon, by not allowing his Charjabug to take a break during pit stops, resulting in Charjabug being too exhausted to continue and allowing Sophocles and his own Charjabug to get ahead of them. This was seen again in [[SM106]], when he arrived at a bridge with the Bug Stone at the other side. He disregarded Sophocles's warning about the bridge being unstable and continued on, resulting in the bridge collapsing, and he had to be saved by Sophocles's newly-evolved {{TP|Sophocles|Vikavolt}}. | In his [[SM041|first appearance]], Horacio was arrogant and condescending, believing that his Charjabug's top-class equipment and {{stat|Speed}}-increasing [[nature]] would allow him to win the race with ease.

By [[SM119]], Horacio appears to have been humbled, as seen after he lost to Sophocles in the [[Vikavolt race]], where he offered the latter a friendly handshake. He also learned the value of fair play, as seen during the race, where he had his Vikavolt go back to help Sophocles's Vikavolt after the latter saved it from Team Rocket's mecha. Later, after everyone's Vikavolt were freed, he resumed the race at the same time as everyone else. | By [[SM119]], Horacio appears to have been humbled, as seen after he lost to Sophocles in the [[Vikavolt race]], where he offered the latter a friendly handshake.
