Pokémon Horizons returns to the Kitakami Festival in its latest Japanese episode
This is a Japanese episode update. Skip the linked recap if you want to discover the festival trouble while watching.
Before we dive in
Pokémon Horizons is an animated Pokémon adventure series. Its story follows a travelling group called the Rising Volt Tacklers, so an episode update is about the television story rather than a new feature in a Pokémon game.
Kitakami is the setting of the festival visited in this episode. Pecharunt is a Pokémon connected to the trouble described in the episode update; knowing that helps explain why the returning visitors are in danger.
The update
Pokémon Horizons has a new episode out in Japan. This time, the Rising Volt Tacklers return to the Kitakami Festival—and their visit does not stay peaceful.
The episode aired in Japan on October 9. The Rising Volt Tacklers revisit the Kitakami Festival, where the group is attacked by some of Pecharunt’s old friends. The announcement describes that setup without providing a full recap of what happens next.
Serebii has updated its episode database with the story’s contents. That recap contains spoilers, so viewers following a different release schedule should decide whether they want to read ahead. The Japanese airing does not establish a release date for other regions.
