By Blissey Husband

The wait is over! Pokémon Horizons Episode 131, titled “Come On! Gather Up! Our Fellow Companions,” has officially dropped, and it is a massive turning point for the series. If you are looking for the absolute best breakdown of the Pokémon Horizons Episode 131 English Sub, you are in the right place.

From the introduction of a brand-new Mega Stone to the debut of a stunning new Mega Evolution, this episode is packed with lore, action, and returning fan-favorite characters. Let’s dive deep into the truth behind the Laquium Core, Master Mayonnaise’s arrival, and the epic battle that sets the stage for the journey to Laqua!

The Rising Volt Tacklers Unite Against the Explorers

The episode kicks off with the Rising Volt Tacklers facing a major PR crisis. Framed as the “century’s greatest villains” by the Explorers, our heroes need allies now more than ever.

Thankfully, the cavalry arrives. Wy-Yes (Sotim Da Yotim, the Pokémon Journalist of Truth) and the adventurous photographer Perrin show up to document the unvarnished truth and clear the Rising Volt Tacklers’ names. But they aren’t the only ones! Nemona, Ann, and Penny also join the fray, fully prepared to set off on this dangerous new adventure alongside Liko and Roy.

The Dark Truth About Laquium

While the crew gathers, Friede has a tense, covert meeting with Researcher Yanga near the Exceed Company.

Friede reveals a massive scientific breakthrough regarding Laquium, the mysterious substance powering the Strong Sphere. By analyzing samples from Mount Pericarp and outer space, Friede discovered that Laquium activates a Pokémon’s fighting instincts to extreme levels—but at a terrifying cost: it makes them no longer need humans. Armed with this research, Friede and his space-faring comrade, Mega Starmie, aim to stop President Spinel and destroy the Strong Sphere’s energy source: the Laquium Core.

Enter Master Mayonnaise: The Evangelist of Mega Evolution

Just as Friede returns to the Brave Olivine, he is followed by a mysterious, eccentric older man from the Kalos region known as Master Mayonnaise—the self-proclaimed “Evangelist of Mega Evolution.”

What is Z-Lucarionite Z?

Understanding that Roy and the crew are fighting for the fate of the world, Master Mayonnaise gifts Roy an incredibly rare, newly discovered Mega Stone: the Z-Lucarionite Z.

This stone holds the potential to unlock Mega Lucario Z, a completely new form with powers distinct from standard Mega Evolution. But having the stone is only half the battle; Roy and Lucario must prove they can master it.

Epic Battle: Roy’s Lucario vs. Mega Hawlucha

To test Roy’s resolve, Master Mayonnaise challenges him using his ace Pokémon, Hawlucha.

The battle is a masterclass in strategy and raw power. Master Mayonnaise uses his Mega Ring to trigger a spectacular transformation, debuting Mega Hawlucha! Bathed in Mega Evolution energy, Mega Hawlucha’s muscle mass explodes, granting it impenetrable defense to match its blistering attack power.

Why Did Roy and Lucario Lose? Despite landing a solid Flash Cannon and attempting a full-power Close Combat, Lucario is completely outmatched. The downfall comes down to two crucial factors:

• The Encore Trap: Hawlucha uses Encore to disrupt Lucario’s rhythm, forcing it to repeat moves and breaking its synchronization with Roy.
• Unmastered Aura: As Master Mayonnaise points out, Roy is currently relying on brute force. To defeat a powerhouse like Mega Hawlucha, Roy must learn to deeply connect with Lucario’s Aura to unleash its true, hidden power.

Refusing to give up, Roy (along with a very enthusiastic Ult) begs Master Mayonnaise to train them. The Evangelist agrees, setting up a massive training arc for the next episode!

The Upgraded Brave Olivine Sets Sail for Laqua

As the dust settles from the battle, Orla reveals the newly upgraded ship: the Rising Brave Olivine!

Thanks to an assist from the popular streamer Iono (who playfully demands a collab stream with Nidothing in return), the ship is powered up and ready for the ultimate voyage. With Diana officially joining the crew, the Rising Volt Tacklers finally set their coordinates for Laqua.

Reviewer’s Verdict

Episode 131 perfectly balances exposition with high-stakes action. Introducing a variant Mega Stone (Z-Lucarionite Z) completely shifts the meta of the Pokémon anime, keeping long-time fans on the edge of their seats. The animation during Mega Hawlucha’s Flying Press was top-tier, and the expanding lore around Laquium adds a mature, sci-fi edge to the Explorers’ plot.
