Ann

In Pokémon Horizons: The Series, Ann is Liko's former roommate and supportive friend. She attends the Indigo Academy and acts as a close confidante. Her partner Pokémon is an Oshawott. Ann first appeared in HZ001. She met Liko when she arrived at the room they were sharing together. After getting the Pokédex installed on her Rotom Phone, she selected Oshawott to be her starter Pokémon. The next day, Ann had her first ever Pokémon battle, using Oshawott to battle against Liko's Sprigatito, which was soon called off. One night, Ann spotted Liko looking at her grandmother's pendant and asked about it. After Liko noticed how close she and Oshawott were compared to how close she was with her Sprigatito, Ann gave her advice. When the time came for a school break, Ann headed home, leaving Liko at the academy. Ann reappeared in HZ003, when she spoke to Liko after she had joined the Rising Volt Tacklers. In HZ008, Ann spoke to Liko when she attended a class online. During the conversation, the two talked about the live stream that Nidothing would do in a few hours. In HZ021, she contacted Liko and revealed that she had acquired her second Pokémon in the form of her Sandshrew.
