See Pikachu squirrel away with a whole bunch of berries in “Pokémon Horizons: The Series” exclusive photos
Run, Pikachu, run!
Even Pikachu knows that every good adventure begins with a hearty meal!
Less than a month after budding Pokémon trainers Liko and Roy embarked on their unforgettable journey together in Pokémon Horizons: The Series, The Pokémon Company International has announced that the anime’s next batch of episodes will officially premiere on May 10 on Netflix.
And, to celebrate the good news, Entertainment Weekly has a treasure trove of exclusive stills to give viewers a glimpse of what they can expect from the forthcoming installment, including an adorable image of Pikachu squirreling away with as many berries as his little paws can hold.
When viewers last caught up with Liko and Roy, the pair — alongside their pals Freide, Captain “Cap” Pikachu, and the rest of team aboard the Brave Olivine airship — had chartered a course for the Galar region in hopes of finding Liko’s grandmother, who bestowed her with a mysterious pendant, as well as the remaining legendary Pokémon that belong to the ancient adventurer Lucius.
Now, a press release has revealed that the forthcoming episodes will follow Liko and Roy — plus their Pokémon partners Sprigatito and Fuecoco, respectively — as they seek “the truth about the legendary Ancient Adventurer and his Pokémon known as the Six Heroes” while doing their best to avoid the dastardly Explorers.
“Along the way, Roy and Fuecoco find a new Pokémon partner, but an attack by the Explorers leaves Liko and Sprigatito feeling lost. Later, Dot and Quaxly team up, Roy and his Pokémon take on special training, and Friede reveals how he met Captain Pikachu,” the release read. “And when the Brave Olivine finally lands in Galar, friends both old and new await — along with fiery challenges from a Gym Leader and a seriously angry Galarian Moltres!”
And, based solely EW’s exclusive photos alone, it looks like it’s going to be a thrilling adventure. In one still, Freide, Roy, and Liko can all be seen standing behind a battered Charizard on a craggy battlefield. In another image, the dragon Pokémon can be seen going toe-to-toe with Ceruledge, which is known to be the partner Pokémon of the villainous Explorer Amethio.
Other snapshots reveal more lighthearted moments too, like one in which Cap can be seen proudly posing as Liko, Roy, Fuecoco, and Sprigatito cheer him on in the background. In another, Sprigatito confirms that it is truly too cute for this world by gleefully throwing its paws up in the air.
And, as it turns out, Pikachu’s not the only Pokémon with food on its mind, either. Another snap reveals Roy looking nervous as Fuecoco peeks out from behind him to gaze upon a truly massive sandwich. Considering Fuecoco’s seemingly endless stomach has gotten the whole gang into trouble in the past, they better keep an eye out!
Pokémon Horizon: The Series touches down on Netflix on May 10. Check out additional photos from the series below.
