Opening animation
Synopsis
Liko, Roy, Dot, Meowscarada, Crocalor, and Quaxwell step forward and watch the sunrise, with the screen suddenly switching to a film-like montage of the Rising Volt Tacklers before Floragato's Evolution into Meowscarada.
In a grassy field, Liko and Meowscarada look into the distance before walking away. The two are then joined by Hattrem and Pagogo, sitting on the stairs under the shade, watching Trainers and Pokémon. Roy, Crocalor, Kilowattrel, Lucario, and Captain Pikachu in a forest are shown for a brief moment, followed by Dot (who was eating a donut), Quaxwell, Tinkatuff, and Gimmighoul then Uruto and Sableye on a tree, a Poké Ball, and finally Liko finishing getting ready as Meowscarada stretches from the bed.
A series of flashback transitions occur as Sprigatito, Floragato, and Meowscarada appear. After tying her shoes, Liko sets off with Meowscarada, Hattrem, and Pagogo in tow. The camera pans over the characters during certain times of the day – starting with Hattrem at dawn, Meowscarada at daytime, Liko in the evening, alongside Charcadet, and Pagogo at night in its Terastal Form. Liko looks up as green leaves appear when she opens her eyes. Under the green spotlight stands Liko and Meowscarada, whose flowers explode into pink petals.
Liko and Meowscarada are shown battling Coral, Sidian, Glalie, and Garganacl. At the snap of Meowscarada's fingers, several of her flowers fall from above as Meowscarada does the same. The Explorers are shown one by one, starting with Coral, Sidian, Glalie, and Garganacl, followed by Chalce and Medicham, and ending with Spinel and Umbreon, with Indy and Rubella behind them. The sun sets at a beach, Amethio and Ceruledge watching it from ashore. The Rising Volt Tacklers' flag is back blowing in the wind after their reunion. Liko is running towards the left side of the screen, reaching out for something as the series logo appears.
Roy and Cap appear right after the series logo, with the two, Crocalor, Lucario, and Kilowattrel moving along a path as Roy's Mega Ring briefly shines. In a city, Uruto stares at his Dusk Ball in an alleyway before briefly glancing at camera while leaving. Cap falls into an abyss as the camera zooms out of his eye, with Cap looking confident on Roy's shoulder once the camera fully zooms out. Roy and his Pokémon team have dinner together around a campfire, unaware of the Black Rayquaza flying above them.
Once again, the camera pans over the characters during certain times of the day – starting with Kilowattrel at daytime, Crocalor in the evening, Roy and Cap at night, and Lucario at dawn. Roy looks up as orange sparks appear when he opens his eyes. Under the red spotlight stands Roy and Crocalor, who shoots Flamethrower towards the camera.
Clinking their Mega Rings, Roy and Uruto stand back to back as their Mega Pokémon battle on the ground. In the air, Kilowattrel and Crocalor attack with Electro Ball and Flamethrower. Mega Lucario shows up behind them and attacks the ground. On a Rotom Phone, Roy and Crocalor dance, Uruto and Sableye exchange high-fives, Liko and Meowscarada also dance, and finally Dot exchanges high-fives with Quaxwell and Tinkatuff before taking back the phone during a group shot.
The four Trainers and their Pokémon face the camera. From behind, they look towards the sky, being joined by the Rising Volt Tacklers, Ann, Nemona, and various other Trainers and Pokémon as the camera zooms out. Liko and Roy lie on the grass, happily playing with their respective partners.

Notes
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 otumami also storyboarded and directed part of the opening (絵コンテ/演出の一部),[1] which was left uncredited by the ending credits.
- ↑ The video description of the official TV size video misspelled 花井柚都子 Yutsuko Hanai as 花井由都子.
- ↑ The ending credits incorrectly spelled out 池田孝輝 Kōki Ikeda as 池田考輝 for HZ091 - HZ093.
Trivia
- The scene with a Krabby watching the sunset at the beach is similar to a scene in Mystery at the Lighthouse.
- This is the first opening theme since the third variant of One, Two, Three to not show the Pocket Monsters logo near the beginning.
- This is also the first opening theme that does not show the Pocket Monsters logo at either the beginning or the end; instead, the logo appears between the first chorus and the second stanza, halfway through the animation sequence.
- This is the first Japanese opening of Pokémon Horizons: The Series where the full version of the song was not released simultaneously on the day it premiered.
- The scene near the end of the opening foreshadows characters of the day who appear in later episodes.
