Horace (Japanese:トキオTokio) is a recurringPokémon the Series character who appeared inPokémon Journeys: The Series. He is aPokémon Trainer as well as both a childhood friend andrival toGoh.

History

Pre-series

Three years prior toTime After Time!, Horace encounteredGoh while he was out searching for aCelebi. The two quickly became friends after realizing they were both looking forMythical Pokémon and are equally knowledgeable. With the help ofMr. Norris'sSunflora, they searched for Celebi together in theIlex Forest, only to encounter severalwild Pokémon that scared them off.

They agreed to meet again the next day, but unknown to Goh, Horace had fallen ill and was unable to make it that day. Goh assumed Horace had stood him up and began holding a grudge against him.

A year later, Horace returned to the forest where he discovered theIlex Forest shrine. He begged Celebi totake him back to a year ago so he could keep his promise with Goh, but his wish was never granted. Horace instead wrote an apology letter and put it inside of the shrine, hoping Goh would come back and find it.

Pokémon Journeys: The Series

Two years later, in the present day, Horace had become aTrainer and had a partner Chikorita. He returned to the shrine, where he reunited with Goh, who had discovered the letter. The two apologized for what happened in the past and rekindled their friendship.

Horace reappeared inBattling in the Freezing Raid!, where he was revealed to be a member ofProject Mew. Horace was seen atSeafoam Islands, battling aCloyster with hisBayleef when he encounteredAsh and Goh. He allowed Goh to catch the Cloyster and joined them in exploring Seafoam Islands in search of anArticuno, also encounteringGary along the way. Upon finding Articuno, Horace took part in aRaid Battle against it, using Bayleef,Indeedee, andGardevoir, only for Articuno to eventually fly away. After the battle, Horace motivated Goh to do his best, while Gary criticized this way of thinking that Horace and Goh have. Soon after, each of them departed on a different path.

InNarrowing the Chaser Chase!, Horace and Gardevoir took part in a Project Mew challenge of exploringSea Mauville, where he encountered Goh once more. They teamed up to explore Sea Mauville, defeating multiple Trainers along the way until they were the last two remaining.Danika then informed them that in order to win Project Mew tokens, they would have to battle each other. At first, Horace declined, not wanting to battle Goh, but was soon convinced to battle. Gardevoir eventually won againstInteleon, earning him three new tokens as a result.

InChasing to the Finish!, Horace was revealed to have cleared his final Trial Mission and qualified as a Chaser, along with Goh and Gary.Later, it was revealed that as part of the Mission, Horace managed to catch aVirizion.

InA Flood of Torrential Gains!, Horace met with the other members of Project Mew inSlateport City to begin the final expedition. During the meeting, he shared his expectations for the final mission with Goh. InPartners in Time!, Horace was briefly seen together with the other members of Project Mew during the climax ofAsh's battle againstLeon.

InThe Mew from Here!, Horace traveled with the rest of Project Mew toFaraway Island for the final mission. As the group scaled Table Mountain, he was separated from Gary andQuillon, pressing on into the caverns under the island with Goh and Danika. They eventually came upon an underground lake and were confronted by aKyogre. In thenext episode, Horace's group followed the Kyogre and reunited with Gary and Quillon, discovering that both Kyogre and theGroudon the latter group followed wereMew usingTransform. After a chaotic battle where Gary, Danika, Quillon and Horace failed to stop Mew's rampage, Goh successfully connected with and calmed it. The rainy season started soon after, forcing Project Mew to end their expedition. Horace, like the others, was offered the chance to stay on as a Chaser in the future, and went his separate ways from Goh and Gary.

InThis Could be the Start of Something Big!, Horace and Gary were seen being greeted byProfessor Oak at the entrance to hisLaboratory.

Character

Horace is shown to be very generous and kind, caring about other Challengers who were afterArticuno and helpingGoh to capture aCloyster. This Horace's way of thinking is even reflected on his Pokémon, which use strategies more focused on preserving companions and which are known for being more defensive and focused on healing moves, such asIndeedee andGardevoir. During theRaid Battle against Articuno, Horace held the party's support position, healing and protecting his allies. While the strategy proved to be advantageous, it failed to do much when his Pokémon were the last ones to remain in battle. Despite this, his participation in the battle was approved byProject Mew, giving Horace a greater number of Tokens than usual.

Horace joins Project Mew with the intention of discovering everyPsychic-type Pokémon, in the hopes that such research will lead him toCelebi, due to it also being part of that type. Regarding Goh, Horace is shown to be very supportive, but during the battle that the two participated in, Horace had to call on him for the reason to be able to focus on the battle as a teammate.

InNarrowing the Chaser Chase!, Horace was reluctant to battle Goh in order to win Project Mew tokens but Goh eventually convinced him to battle.

Pokémon

Due to his desire to meet Celebi, Horace focuses on catching and trainingGrass- andPsychic-typePokémon. Similar to his battle method, most of Horace's Pokémon are known to have high defensivestats.
