Pokémon Horizons The series episode 1 – “The Pendant That Starts It All: Part One” introduces us to Liko, a shy and somewhat awkward girl on her way to the Pokémon training school, Indigo Academy. Liko makes her way to the academy and meets Ann, a Kanto native and now her roommate. Liko explains that she’s joining the academy because her parents attended the school and marvels at the Pokémon battles taking place.
During the school’s entrance ceremony, the Indigo Academy students are brought forward to select their starter Pokémon. Ann selects Oshawott, and Liko chooses the Paldean creature Sprigatito who isn’t particularly keen on its new trainer and refuses to be held and even runs away from Liko early on. However, Sprigatito is still averse to Liko, which shakes her confidence as a budding trainer.
Liko and Sprigatito sneak out at night from the academy to conduct training exercises after unsuccessful battle attempts with Ann before. She finds a group of characters searching for her. A suspicious character Amethio and his comrades give chase to Liko and Sprigatito and he catches up and demands the pendant but is stopped by a stranger who intercepts him on a Charizard. The pendant activates to create a barrier around Liko to protect her
