Pokemon: New Horizons
Pokemon: New Horizons, or just New Horizons, is the sequel series to Pokemon: The Indigo Chronicles and follows Mige on his journeys through the Kalos region as Professor Sycamore's aide. Though originally tasked with uncovering the truth behind Mega Evolution and simply competing in the Kalos League; Mige and his friend themselves squaring up against Team Relic, a new splinter group of Team Rocket and the mysterious Horizon Institute. As Mige decides to accept his ability to use aura he also discovers an even more mysterious power known as Chronurgy which allows him to manipulate and travel through time.
New Horizons happens paralel to another series called Pokemon: Seasons featuring Aerik Hargraves and his friends. The two series cross paths often with character often referencing one another and even appearing on one another's series through text, phone call or in person. Despite how interconnected the two series are they are both full-length series unlike previous spin-off series which were shortened and abridged to support Indigo Chronicles.
Episodes in Pokemon: New Horizons are numbered with the prefix NH. For a complete episode listing, see the list of New Horizons episodes.
New Horizons is currently on its second chapter and has 45 episodes.
As Mige continues to develop his chronurgy abilities he finds himself traveling to various other timelines. These timelines are usually visited solely by Mige which he is asleep and inhabits his future body; however there are some exceptions such as when he takes a group with him to an apocalyptic future in the Pathways special or when he takes Crystal to a future timeline in episode 11. While rare; Mige has traveled to the past before (though usually at the hands of another traveler.) Every instance Mige has traveled backwards instead of forward it has been his own timeline which is canonically known as the "Prime Timeline."
New Horizons features many characters that either first appear in the series or have previously appeared in Indigo Chronicles or another spin-off. The Major characters of New Horizons use Lumiose City and Sycamore Labs as a base of operations and usually re-group in the "City of Light" throughout the series. Characters often temporarily leave Mige's traveling party due to other obligations. While New Horizons lacks a static "traveling party" below are the character most featured at the start of chapter 2.
