This is the start of phase 1 for Zanolith 2024. For the first couple of months I'll be delivering a new video to you guys every 2 weeks. Whether that be a what if, discussion, a brand new series I've been working on and even news related to the Journeys Rewrite!

Also just imagine the rising volt tacklers's reaction to this whole situation, they were searching for liko to keep her safe but didn't realise the champion of the region was there, spend forever looking for her, then decided to check the cams and overhears the conversation about going to paldea, and once they reach it they witnessed the 10 million volt Thunderbolt in action

Ash Ketchum: I'll train you anything you want me to

*FOR THE LAST MOTHERFUCKIN’ TIME, **_ASH IS NEVER RETURNING IN HORIZONS!!!_*

AYYYY! This looks awesome! Can't wait to see more and effects are coming through nicely!

Had they kept Ash this woulda been good avenue to pursue! Loved this change in the story, especially with Liko being stronger. Also, nice upgrade in editing!!

Hear me out, liko should get a wimpod that is terrified of humans once she fully gets used to Pokémon, mostly to serve as a parallel to her start

I would love to see Ash become a mentor for both Liko and Roy, it will really make it seem like the torch has been passed to the next generation of protagonists, but I have the strangest feeling that Liko and Roy are not going to be around for 20 years like Ash they could get replaced after the end of Horizons.

Short, but sweet! Ash's involvement changes so much to the story. The explorers would definitely see Ash as a threat to their plans and come at him with full force. I figured that Ash's involvement would mean that Roy would be unable to join and that they wouldn't know certain elements in the original story, this would change the course of Horizons, this would make the series a bit more battle focused, however Liko would be much stronger compared to the original version. I would definitely like to see more of this what if expanded more, but we have to see where Pokemon Horizons goes in the original story. This was an awesome story, thank you Zanolith!

Great Story so far 👍 For my my prediction of how Ash will meet Liko and the RVTs in the anime is… that Liko and the RVTs will meet his Greninja in Kalos (when they reach there) and help it destroy those energy roots; after doing so Liko is able to “connect” with Greninja (as she wants to understand Pokemon feelings) and find out he was Ash’s. Greninja will then travel with the RVTs on their Airship in hopes of coming across Ash…

I knew that ask would unleash 10 million volt Thunderbolt beacuse that thing is a beam of death with almost no way of stopping it other then putting an object in between it and your pokemon. Also this has some implications on what liko will have at her disposal, there's the gigantamax band which the 2 can freely switch between, she can have a Z ring if they visit alola or get one transferred (the latter being relatively easy), also she can borrow ash's pokemon which is terrifying beacuse some of them are broken as hell and even a Newby like liko can surely make use of gible's draco meteor, Melmetal's double iron bash, infernap's blaze, or what ever else he has available

Can I just say how the animation is starting to get so good to the point where it is near to Zac's style? Keep up the good work Zano!

That was amazing! I would love to see more what if videos soon.

If Liko and the Rising Volt tacklers were to have met Ash in the anime canonicaly it would go something like this: The episode could start with them arriving at Kalos in hopes of asking professor Sycamore about Tarapagos. However, as they reach there the negative vines have now grown stronger, possibly as a reaction to Tarapagos's immense aura and are now attacking Lumiose city suddenly this is where Team Neo Flare being to attack revealing that they located the remains of the giant rock and are now going to finish what Lysandere started. Liko battles rampaging Megas and comes down to fighting against Neo Flare's new leader who is using a Mega Garchomp, an obvious reference to episode 1 of the XY anime. This is where Liko's Hattana evolves into Hattrem and with the help of Tarapagos, defeats Neo Flare's leader. Just then Sprigatito falls down from the ledge of Lumiose tower, Liko goes in to save it but they are both rescued by the one and only Ash-Greninja! Liko and her Pokemon stare at the Pokemon in awe. Hattrem mostly, and they hear a young man's voice in the distance asking if they are okay. The man is a slightly older Ash Ketchum, wearing is I.C.Y clothes from the third movie. As the screen pans to the two protagonists staring at each other to which the screen then cuts to black, this concludes season 1 of the Pokemon Horizons anime. Zanolith, please hire me, I'm ready for what if script writing

Based Floragato.

I love the way the story is going

I see you're getting better at editing👀

it would be cool to see some pokemon Horizons, in the future

I auditioned for the journeys rewrite! 😆

I would love to see what if about brandon being ash's rival in hoenn

I noticed that this Liko girl does a lot of internal monologuing now is this ongoing thing or do they eventually ease off on it?

Im enjoying this series and im not mourning over ash but heres a better team for him Pikachu Quaquaval Lokix Flamigo Armarogue Cetitan I took inspiration from that music video where ash has flamigo and even i agree lokix is an ash pokemon and quaquaval since its the most powerful of the paldea starters compettitive wise and is kept in a beast ball. And armarogue like sirfetchd(in my version) is in a level ball especially since the level ball never made a proper anime debut like the other apricot balls

Is there a part 2

What if they go the Star Wars route where just like Rey, liko ends up on an island where she is left with no hope insight of a dire situation when unknowingly ash appears in a cave or somewhere and helps her find her confidence.

You should include more of Ash's Pokemon for the next video. Charizard, Lucario, Lycanroc, Dracovish, and probably Dragonite. If you think to include the paradox Pokemon, Ash should get Roaring Moon and Iron Valiant. You can choose for Liko what she catches.

It's a silly thing to convey but i was looking up the meaning of Pendant, i headed over to translation site and i eventually know the meaning in Indonesian, i'm an English learner You know LOL.😂 Could you please make a part 2 of the story let's explore their Journey way deeper, i would be glowing with excitement if you do so. How did you make those what if content with your rewrote concept? Dos anyone giving you a hand to make the what if stories? How could you insert the plot into the rewrote ver? Did you encounters setbacks while perparing for the content? Sorry too much questions.😂 On top of that, your rewrote story made me caught of guard of your what if creation stories, i guess you're slamind the bone always the very best what if stories like no what if stories ever was! Speared your creation around the world brother so that Pokèmon company can reconigze your stories. They would appreciate your hard work that you put into the contents you made. Any thoughts on it? I'm begging you brother please make part 2 of the story just like you did with other Pokèmon what if stories. What do you think? Is he would come back to teach Liko being the very best Pokèmon trainer like no Pokèmon trainers ever was.😊

Maybe as Ash's apprentice?

I want to ask, will there be part 2

heres a good one same concept but what if Ash was an adult when he met liko

This was good but honestly I was hoping if we saw a grown up and and Liko and Roy were his kids, and Serena is Ash's Wife, kind like a Pokémon version of Star Trek a new Generation or Ash and Friede are the same guy.

I want more episodes wait no we need more episodes

Ash and liko pt2

Will this continue

No Roy? Oh well, what can you do right?

Dude Pokemon Horizons is a bland series to me like I feel like this series will never be as good as the series with Ash in it but what you made here was pretty good hope to see more of it

and ehre comes the Ash X Liko ship comments.

Bring back Ash Greninja please

Nah i still don’t like it ash was there from the very beginning 😢 he was always there to entertain us and make us laugh but y’all don’t understand she doesn’t have that type power she’s just not it 🫡 im sorry 😞 I tried to give her a chance but I can’t alr boys tell me when ash is back 🥺
