Orla (Japanese: オリオ Orio) is a supporting character in Pokémon Horizons: The Series. She is a machine enthusiast and a member of the Rising Volt Tacklers.
In the anime
Pre-series
Orla grew up somewhere in the Kanto region with her childhood friend Friede. However, she moved to Slateport City in the Hoenn region and spent most of her life there, becoming an engineer for the docks at Slateport City.
As revealed in HZ018, Orla reunited with Friede as he asked her to turn Ludlow's fishing boat into an airship. Orla accepted the task and was able to do it. Orla decided to join Friede as payment for making the airship and told him that she was getting bored with her job anyway, as she decided to quit. After deciding to join Friede and Ludlow, Orla became a founding member of the Rising Volt Tacklers. Later, Orla met Mollie, Murdock, and his niece, Dot, as they join the Rising Volt Tacklers.
Pokémon Horizons: The Series
Orla debuted in HZ001 alongside the other members of the Rising Volt Tacklers. She and her teammates were searching for Liko at Indigo Academy, but to no avail. In the following episode, she appeared inside the Brave Asagi's engine room, fueling the airship during the Explorers' pursuit.
In HZ003, Orla stayed at the Brave Asagi to repair the power room. At the end of the day, Orla and the rest of the Rising Volt Tacklers took Liko as one of their own.
In HZ005, Orla briefly battled alongside Murdock against Zirc and Onia. As Roy approached alongside a group of Bug-type wild Pokémon, they ran back to the Brave Asagi to fix its balloon gasbag, leaving Mollie to face off against Zirc. In the next episode, she welcomed Roy after he became part of the group.
In HZ018, Orla was asked by the younger members as to how Captain Pikachu was able to fly during his battle against Roy in the previous episode, but could’t give them an answer because she didn’t know herself. However, Orla decided to help the younger members get the answers they seek from Friede, which they were able to do as he tells everyone as to how he met Captain Pikachu and the formation of the Rising Volt Tacklers.
Character
Orla is a welcoming individual, as seen in HZ003, when it was revealed to have lent her room for Liko to stay for the night before she was even part of the Rising Volt Tacklers. She was also the first long-time member of the group who welcomed Roy after he became one of them. Orla also seems to be close with Friede as they been friends since childhood. Despite being apart for many years, Orla's friendship with Friede remain strong, as she accepted his request to built an airship and decided to travel with him as payment. Orla also doesn't get upset with Friede's absent mind and tendency to forget things too often. In addition, Orla gets along really well with the rest of her teammates, especially Mollie.
Orla is also a very diligent and hard-working person, responsible for observing any possible damages done to the Brave Asagi and reporting on them. She can overexert herself while working on the repairs, such as seen in HZ005, when she stayed up during the night in an attempt to patch up the holes on the airship's gasbag.
She is skillful at her own profession, but seems to be rather clumsy outside of it.
