Pre-series

Prior to Pokémon Horizons: The Series, a Pokémon Professor named Friede with his partners Captain Pikachu and Charizard decided to form a group call the Rising Volt Tacklers with Orla, Murdock, Mollie, and Ludlow. Friede also had Murdock's niece Dot join the group and helped create the technology for their airship, Brave Asagi. During their adventures, the Rising Volt Tacklers have various Pokémon from all the different regions settle in with them when they decided to make their airship their home. While in Paldea, the Rising Volt Tacklers were hired by Friede's former teacher Lucca as she asked them to bring home her daughter Liko, who was attending the Indigo Academy in the Kanto region, and protect her during the journey there.

Pokémon Horizons: The Series

Friede facing the Explorers for the first time

The Rising Volt Tacklers debuted in HZ001. They first appear looking for Liko at the Indigo Academy a few days before the school holidays. When Liko clashes with the members of the Explorers, Friede appears to help her. After nearly getting hit by Ceruledge's Psycho Cut, Liko is protected by the power of her mysterious pendant.

In the following episode, Friede took Liko to the Rising Volt Tacklers's airship, where she had her first interaction with the rest of the group. Before Liko could ask more about them, the ship was intercepted by members of the Explorers and another battle between Friede and Amethio ensued. After Liko almost gave herself to the Explorers, her Sprigatito unleashed a Leafage strong enough to break the forcefield around Wing Deck, but got blown overboard in the process, allowing Amethio to capture it before fleeing with his group.

Liko joining the Rising Volt Tacklers

In HZ003, Friede revealed that Liko's mother hired the Rising Volt Tacklers to protect her. The group went to the city where the Explorers were last seen, and Murdock's Rockruff managed to smell Sprigatito's scent in Onia. Friede, Liko, and Rockruff chased her back to their temporary base, where Friede engaged Amethio again in a battle to allow for Liko and Rockruff to find where Sprigatito was held captive. After being reunited with her Pokémon, Liko decided to trust in the Rising Volt Tacklers and became part of the group, whose next destination was Paldea.

Roy joining the Rising Volt Tacklers

Throughout their journey to get Liko to Paldea, the Rising Volt Tacklers met a boy named Roy on an island in Kanto as he helped them repair their ship and joins them on their adventures, after forming a bond with a Fuecoco that lived with them as it became his first Pokémon and a Black Rayquaza, who helped them chase the Explores, came out of the Ancient Poké Ball that he owns. The Rising Volt Tacklers also helped Liko and Roy be better in Pokémon battles. In addition, Liko and Roy learn of the existence of Dot as they attempt to make friends with her.

In HZ009, the Rising Volt Tacklers arrived at Paldea as Friede takes Liko home with Roy as company to see the region. After Friede failed to reach Liko's mother, they decided to head over to her house as Alex, her father, was home. However, Liko overheard Alex talking to Friede, as he expressed how worried he was about her being on her own and expressed a desire for her to attend school in Paldea. Liko decided to head back to the ship for the night, but could't sleep. Through Orla and Mollie's advice and a drawing Dot made for her, Liko made up her mind as she left the ship to go back home to tell Alex her decision. Upon arriving home, Liko tells Alex that she wants to continue traveling with the Rising Volt Tacklers and do online school for the Indigo Academy, which he understood and accepts her decision.

Following a led from Alex and Brassius about the Black Rayquaza, the Rising Volt Tacklers investigated Arboliva Forest where they met a giant Arboliva that had another Ancient Poké Ball and saw the damage that a forest fire caused to it. The Rising Volt Tacklers worked together to restore the forest then witness Liko's pendent transform to an unknown Pokémon, which showed her and Roy a vision. After Arboliva decided to join them, Liko and Roy discovered that it and the Rayquaza belong to the ancient adventurer named Lucius. Friede also found out about this through Lucca as she told him that she knew the legend thanks to her mother. Liko then decided to meet with her grandmother for answers about her pendent and, through a clue from Lucca's Squawkabilly, the Rising Volt Tacklers decided to head for the Galar region.

However, before they could set off for Galar, they were ambushed by Spinel of the Explorers as he was able to steal Liko's pedant by using his Beheeyem to put her in a trance, which caused her to have memory loss. While most of the crew was searching for Liko, Dot had some help in steamer and Levincia's Gym Leader Iono in finding her. Dot then decided to leave the airship in order to find Liko and Roy meets her in person. Meanwhile, Liko was able to recover her memory and meet up with Roy and Dot, as she meets the former for the first time. After reuniting with Fredie, Liko realized that her pedant was stolen as the Rising Volt Tacklers make a plan to get it back from Spinel. Dot officially becomes a Pokémon Trainer with Quaxly that have been living with the Rising Volt Tacklers as her first Pokémon. After they got Liko's pedant back from Spinel, the Rising Volt Tacklers set off for the Galar region.
