It’s looking like Pokémon Horizons might be coming to an end due to recent episode titles and the story finally seeing the Six Heroes come together.

Now I want to emphasize MIGHT, because I have no idea if it is, this is just me guessing based on trends I’ve seen other series do.

The story has been built entirely around Rakua, the Six Heroes, Terapagos and the freaky crystals of Rakua.

We have no indication as of typing they have concrete plans beyond Terapagos, with the Giga Leak only offering rough, but seemingly scrapped ideas they considered such as Friede joining the villains to find his long lost kid brother we never heard of.

So if HZ is ending, prematurely, in the final year of SV’s life span, what do you replace it with?

I think we all know where I’m going with this.

This might be Ash’s return.

It’s becoming undeniable fans aren’t jiving with HZ, with many rejecting the show, to the point PokeTubers who cover the anime have admitted covering it doesn’t give them views anymore. There’s still a huge demand for Ash to return, with recent Japanese fan art opting to instead focus on Team Rocket to celebrate the year of the snake over Gibeon and Zygarde. Western fans, in particular UK fans, have outright rejected LDR and have demanded Ash come back or else they aren’t watching anymore. Apparently the Giga Leaks also mentioned HZ is being written based only on fan reaction instead of truly focusing on the plot, something Ken Sugimori hates. Game Freak apparently didn’t want Ash to leave, with HZ originally intending to continue using him, until an anime staff member instead wanted to focus on Liko to give girls a role model. Now that is a good idea on paper but it means nothing if she’s given nothing to do and the show clearly struggled on what to do with her (Roy, Dot and the adult cast). I’m not asking for Jenny Wakeman or Kim Possible here, but a somewhat meek wallflower type wasn’t the best idea for a major character change if she isn’t going through decent, coherent character development to grow out of that.

So if the anime is scraping LDR in favor of going back to Ash & Team Rocket, what can they do for the remainder of the SV life span?

Realistically I don’t know. Speculatively on the other hand…

It would have to be an abridged version of the game’s events HZ skipped over, and HZ skipped over A LOT.

The games’ events are implied to have happened off screen, Arven (until the final school episode) and Kieran were both absent from the school and Kitakami mini arcs as are the professors, Okidogi’s group, and bike dragons. Team Star is also implied to have been dealt with off screen as recent as the Geeta episode, and I might be mistaken, but the robotic Paradox Pokémon haven’t appeared yet in story in favor of the prehistoric ones.

The solution seems pretty simple. Ash and Team Rocket swing by the school and enroll for their own reasons, Ash competes in the Tera class LDR did, but has a better go at it, and gets involved in fighting Team Star among other things. Notably his friend/roommate is Arven, and the two hang out a lot, explaining why he wasn’t around when Liko was there. Perhaps during LDR’s time, Ash and Arven were off helping his Mabosstiff or dealing with the four treasure Pokemon.

This is where the robotic Paradoxes come in, as they could be stand ins for Team Rocket’s mecha in this scenario. I’m sure at some point they’d find a way to Combine Iron Treads, Iron Hands, and a Meowth mecha to make a Paradox Meowth to mirror the Mega Meowth from XY.

Okidogi, Fezandipiti and Munkidori also feel like they’re made with Team Rocket in mind, and they’d be associated with them also in a Kitakami scheme, while Ash & Arven meet Kieran.

I’ve neglected contributing a female companion but I’m not sure who that’d be. Nemona, Iono and Penny are pretty heavily associated with LDR. and while they likely would meet Ash, I don’t see them contributing as much to his story officially. I feel like Raifort would be involved more heavily, but I don’t think she’d constantly be with Ash either unless she was also working for Giovanni. The simple answer would probably be Juliana, a return to the female player character traveling companion. The out there answer would be Poppy because I think that would be funny, and Ash would be shocked a kid younger than him is an Elite Four member. Now Poppy is also fairly involved with LDR, so she probably hangs out with Ash and Arven the most, but has to excuse herself when duty calls involving LDR.

Now what Pokemon would Ash have with him? I’m still partial to my fanon of Pikachu, Miraidon, Primeape, all three Paldean Tauros, Baxcaliber, Kilowattrel, Orthworm and Fuecoco.

I feel like the splitting of the difference would likely be Pikachu, Pidgeot, Charizard (or Lucario), leaving three slots open for Paldean Pokemon. Who those would be is a coin toss, but popular choices are Annihilape (evolved from his returning Primeape), Lokix, and Flamigo. Quaxly comes up a lot for the Starter pick, but I feel like that ship has sailed due to Dot.

Team Rocket is also a coin flip they’re either just using their old Pokemon like Ash possibly would or they just have brand new ones. Again I like my fanon of Scovillain, Oinkologne for Jessie and Grevard and Maushold for James, but what other Pokemon they’d have I’m not sure. I don’t think I’ve seen other fans speculate that much on Jessie and James, though I’m fairly certain I’ve seen Scream Tail brought up for Jessie before.

If they are ending LDR, and switching over to Ash to buy time and reignite interest in the anime makes sense. Gen 10 would either be a full return to Ash or another try with a new lead kid, but with how apathetic fans have become to LDR, I’m not sure if another brand new kid lead would make sense here…

I totally forgot that with a new album Morrie will make appearances in so many magazines... In June he appeared in Burrn! JAPAN, now in August three more magazines will feature him: ROCK AND READ, WeRock and With Rock. Out of those I only didn’t order WeRock yet. 

And also he is releasing cool merch soon, collab with Atsuo of Boris (fangsanalsatan) and Birtish aritst Kieran Wakeman.

Not to mention his appearance on Fukushima FM in August! Yesterday Fukushima FM broadcasted the new version of Serafine on air, but I missed that...

L'exil : vous ne savez pas ce que c'est. On finit par se demander si le pays d'où l'on vient existe, si ce n'est pas un de ces empires-royaumes imaginaires, comme dans les contes, situés à trois fois neuf pays de distance. Alors, si l'on vient de Nulle-Part, on n'existe pas soi-même. On se résigne à devenir quelqu'un d'autre. On mange le fromage à la fin du repas, même chez soi, et son pain trop cuit, et on boit son thé noir, et on persifle tout, et on ne croit plus qu'à l'intelligence. Seulement, au fond du cœur, la vérité subsiste : un caillot... On s'est devenue étrangère en devenant étrangère, on ne parle plus que cette autre langue du bout de la langue, on ne respire plus à fond, on trotte menu, on incline à peine la tête, on compte ses sous, et, de plus en plus rarement, on a le coeur transpercé.  Mais c'est si poignant... — Vladimir Volkoff (Le retournement, 1979) photo : Mental Prison (Kieran Wakeman, 2020)

It’s an indisputable fact that almost every family in India has its own blend of curry spices, often passed down from generation to generation, according to the tastes and preferences of that family, and the spices available by region – or even village. I was taught this a very long time ago by a delightful Irish lady who was married to an Indian pharmacist of local renown, and whose son was in my form at the King's School, Worcester. Kieran Asthana became a friend when he joined the school at the age of sixteen. He was the scientist, I was the classicist. As an aside, with regard to a late evening post of mine yesterday, he was with me at that Rick Wakeman concert in Malvern – where he lived. Mrs Asthana (who, incidentally spoke Irish, Hindi and Bengali, in addition to English,) was a genius in the kitchen, and it was in that house that I tasted genuine curry for the first time. You see, Mr Asthana has passed on to her his family’s curry spice traditions, and my nose knew this the moment I walked into their house. Stepping briefly aside, again, in this narrative: I have, treasured, my school copy of Kenneth Grahame’s “Wind in the Willows,” dated 1962 and in a cloth (yes!) binding. And opening the book a couple of years ago, I came across a tightly folded scrap of paper on which Mrs Asthana had written down the family’s spice blend. I use it to this day. And although I am no longer in touch with that lovely family, I share it now – hopefully with their blessing. The measurements, of course, were in spoons, the way of those years. The measurements are good enough for a large pot of curry, to feed 5-6 people. Ground coriander – 2 tablespoons Ground cumin – 2 tablespoons Ground turmeric – 1 ½ tablespoons Ground ginger – 2 teaspoons Dry mustard – 1 teaspoon (she used Colemans.) Ground black pepper – ½ teaspoon Ground cinnamon – 1 teaspoon Ground cardamon – ½ teaspoon Cayenne pepper – 1 teaspoon (or more if you like heat.) Put in a jar and shake until they are mixed. Bon appetite! (at Hampton Bays, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJ133MsA05NQ4AGM3rKUtID4QgKFHzreCTsouw0/?igshid=1u4m1imgi2jpb
