Background
Who they are.
Liko is the first lead of the main Pokémon TV series who is not Ash. When we meet her, she is a shy student with a pendant from her grandmother, Diana. The pendant draws trouble, the Rising Volt Tacklers take her in, and she joins their crew on the airship Brave Olivine.
The pendant turns out to hold Terapagos. Looking after it takes Liko to Paldea, to Galar and on to Laqua. Her first partner, Sprigatito, grows into Meowscarada. She also raises Hatenna into Hatterene and Charcadet into Armarouge.
