History[]
A hundred years ago, Lucius traveled with a Black Rayquaza and five Pokémon he encountered throughout the various regions he traveled. All of them were kept within the Ancient Poké Balls. Collectively, they are known as the Six Heroes in an as-yet-unexplained way, Lucius's Poké Balls have been scattered around the world.
They were referred as one whom "heal wounds", "race through the sky", "cross the seas", "break down walls" and "gallop across the land".
Pokémon Horizons: The Series[]
Roy and Liko entered an area ravaged by a wildfire with Roy discovering another Ancient Poké Ball and tried to climb up to go get it, only to realize it was attached to a huge Arboliva, who was aggressive, since it believed they were there to cause more damage, but as it tries to regain its composure and renew its attack, Wooper came in and communicated to it that Mollie had healed it.[1] This caused Arboliva to understand that they had no harmful intentions and it extended its arm to her as a sign of thanks. As the small Pokémon left, Arboliva appeared to understand why they came and picks up both Liko and Roy, showing the devastation wrought to its forest as it cried out in sorrow.[2]
When the group aided in reviving the forest, Liko's pendant glowed again and Terapagos appeared, generating a barrier around Liko and Roy. Liko saw a silhouette of something that told her to "find the world's" before the fog dissipated and the Pokémon returned to its amulet form. Likewise, Arboliva returned into its Ancient Poké Ball and the group was unable to open it. Friede told them to take care of it, as it's a sign that Arboliva approveed of their actions and came into Liko's care.[3]
Searching Galar Mines for the report of Black Rayquaza inside, Friede, Cap, Charizard, Liko, Roy and their Pokémon entered the mine but separated, leading to Roy and Liko finding miners sapped of their energy and strength before Zirc and Onia appeared to attack them. Cap appeared and protected Liko and Roy before a Galarian Moltres appeared, radiating intense anger before it swiftly defeated Zirc's Rhydon and Onia's Golduck forcing them to retreat. Galarian Moltres used its Fiery Wrath to immobilize Cap, Liko, Roy and the Pokémon, but Liko, Roy, Fuecoco and Sprigatito were able to fight against it and regain their movements.
Liko's Hatenna sensed the anger coming from Moltres and lightly cried while Cap attempted to battle against it and was badly hurt. Roy, Liko and their Pokémon retreated with an injured Cap through and out of the mine but left Friede and Charizard behind they were battling Amethio and Ceruledge before Galarian Moltres appeared and the mine caved in.[4]
With Cap recovered, Roy and Liko returned to the Mine and find Friede unharmed. Together they re-enter the area where Galarian Moltres was and it appeared again to battle against them. Working together, they held their ground but Terapagos appeared once more and showed them the memory of Lucius and Moltres about finding 'Paradise' which calmed Moltres before it returned to the Ancient Poké Ball, making it the second Pokémon in Roy's care.
Diana told Liko about Lucius and revealed the other Pokémon that made up the Six Heroes, before giving her Lucius' belt for her to have and keep the Ancient Poké Balls inside it. Liko approached the others, wanting to find the Six Heroes, which they agreed to.[5]
