“Pokémon Horizons: The Series” new episodes synopsis: 
Liko, Roy and Friede set off to Galar Mine in search of the black Rayquaza, where they run from the furious Galarian Moltres, and Liko is surprised when it begins communicating with her pendant.

After meeting up with her grandma, Liko finally learns the identity of the Pokémon who transformed from her pendant — Terapagos! But the family reunion is disrupted when the Explorers go on the offensive, first pursuing Terapagos and then setting their sights on the black Rayquaza. Meanwhile, the Rising Volt Tacklers track down an Ancient Poké Ball thief, Orla shows her skills at a Poké Ball factory, and the Brave Olivine gains two new Pokémon residents. Then, a rumour about a singing Pokémon leads the crew to another of Lucius’s Six Heroes — and the black Rayquaza isn’t far behind!

Our best wishes go to Rachael.

Help my sister Rachael with medical needs

Hello everyone. I’m trying to raise some funds for my sister Rachael Lillis who is currently in a nursing home facility in Los Angeles. She has been there since late January & cannot go home yet because she needs money for a caregiver, particularly a home care nurse. Someone who can cook some simple meals, help her shower, and give her medication. Unfortunately, Rachael can barely walk due to cancer that has spread to her spine from breast cancer.
She is receiving care at the nursing home but it can be uncomfortably noisy, and it’s difficult for her to manage rest. If you can send anything, she would surely appreciate this!

The Pokémon Company held a press conference on April 30th, 2024 and announced that Pokémon Horizons: The Series would start airing on May 25th, 2024 on Hungama. The Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu dubs will be getting their own opening and ending tracks composed by the music duo Vishal-Sheykhar and sung by Armaan Malik and Shirley Setia. This will be the first time they get their own theme song as these dubs had always used the English dub theme.

Susumu Fukunaga, The Pokémon Company stated: "The new series comes with a brand-new storyline, new Pokémon and human characters, so there is a lot to look forward to. You will enjoy a fascinating adventure on an airship and see how secrets unfold due to the mysterious objects the main characters possess. All this is packed into a heartwarming story of friendship and self-discovery. We have also created original opening and ending tracks just for India for the very first time. This has been a challenging and interesting journey as we wanted to ensure that the music and lyrics align with Indian sensibilities. I think the songs capture the essence of Pokémon very nicely. We are also delighted to air our new series on the hugely popular Hungama channel. Their reach is bound to take our content to viewers across the entire country."

Devika Prabhu, Business Head – Kids and Infotainment, Disney Star, stated: "Hungama has established itself as a popular platform for Japanese anime and Pokémon, especially has been garnering immense love and appreciation over the years. With a devoted fan base of Pokémon enthusiasts in the country, our network has been their go-to destination when they want to immerse themselves in a world of captivating stories from the franchise. Through our dedicated localization efforts, we have customized the Pokémon viewing experience to align with the preferences of our audience, ensuring its continued relevance and appeal. The series and movies have consistently ranked among our top-performing content, and we are happy to introduce a new series as one of our key summer tentpoles on Hungama."
