The Castle Restored & Pecharunt’s True Power Revealed
The episode opens with a heartwarming reunion at the ancient castle. Diana has successfully repaired the damage caused by the Explorers. In a classic Diana move, she reveals that she didn’t just fix it—she sent the hefty repair bill directly to Hamber! With the castle looking beautiful again, the wild Pokémon are finally living in peace.
However, the real plot progression happens when Liko and Roy approach Diana and Pecharunt with a crucial request. To awaken the true potential of Terapagos and unlock the path to Laqua, the crew needs the Terastal power of all 18 Pokémon types. They were missing just one piece of the puzzle: the Poison type. Pecharunt steps up to the plate, resonating with Terapagos to reveal a brilliant, sparkling Poison Tera Type. This is a massive milestone for the Rising Volt Tacklers, marking the completion of their elemental collection.
Of course, the show balances this epic lore moment with some top-tier comedy. Pecharunt offers its signature mochi to the group. While everyone else panics and screams, “Don’t eat that!”, the ever-clueless Professor Friede pops it right into his mouth. Within seconds, the cool and collected Pokémon Professor is completely “mochi-mochi’d,” dancing and singing out of control. It’s a hilarious palate cleanser before the intense training arc begins.
Mastering the Aura: Roy and Lucario’s New Approach
The core narrative of Episode 132 revolves around Roy and his partner, Lucario. They are gearing up for a highly anticipated revenge match against the formidable Master Mayonnaise and his powerhouse, Mega Hawlucha. However, their standard training isn’t yielding results. Dot explains the mechanics perfectly: traditional Mega Lucario focuses the Aura heightened by Mega Evolution energy into a single, piercing point to attack the opponent. But doing it the “old way” simply isn’t going to cut it against an opponent as experienced as Master Mayonnaise.
Roy notices that Lucario is incredibly stiff. The Pokémon is carrying the weight of its past defeats, acting stoic and tense with a heart “as tough as steel.” Roy realizes that to surpass their limits, they don’t need to push harder—they need to let go. In a beautiful, character-defining scene, Roy stops the combat training. He sits down in the warm sunlight with Skeledirge and Kilowattrel, and starts singing.
“Sometimes you gotta just chill out and sing a song,” Roy sings, inviting his partner to join in. Slowly, the tension leaves Lucario’s body. By joining in the melody, Lucario completely relaxes. This emotional breakthrough is the key to unlocking their new battle style. By loosening up, Lucario becomes fully receptive to the flow of Aura, setting the stage for the battle of a lifetime.
The Main Event: The Ultimate Revenge Match
The climax of the episode is a full-blown tournament-style battle, complete with Murdock acting as the hyped-up play-by-play announcer, with Friede and Diana on color commentary. Master Mayonnaise wastes no time, shouting his signature “Un, deux, trois!” and instantly triggering Hawlucha’s Mega Evolution right off the bat.
Mega Hawlucha comes out swinging with overwhelming power, using Encore to try and trap Lucario into repeating Metal Claw, followed by a relentless barrage of Acrobatics. But this time, Lucario doesn’t just block. As Nemona enthusiastically explains from the sidelines, Lucario is doing something unprecedented. Instead of just launching Aura outward, it is gathering the Aura inside its body, channeling it directly into its arms and legs to explosively boost its defense at the exact moment of impact. Because Roy is perfectly reading Hawlucha’s movements and calling them out, Lucario can focus 100% of its mental energy on manipulating this internal Aura shield.
The Birth of Z-Mega Lucario Z
Sensing that their bond has reached absolute perfection, Roy calls for Mega Evolution. But what emerges from the blinding light isn’t just standard Mega Lucario. Master Mayonnaise himself dubs this new, incredibly fast and fluid form as Z-Mega Lucario Z!
The tides immediately turn. Hawlucha’s signature joint locks and throws are completely rendered useless against Lucario’s smooth, parrying movements. In a desperate bid to win, Master Mayonnaise orders a massive, high-altitude Flying Press. As Hawlucha descends like a meteor, Roy commands Lucario to use a brand-new move learned in the heat of battle: Aerial Ace!
Lucario moves so fast it appears to vanish entirely, countering the Flying Press with devastating precision. After a final, brilliant clash, the dust settles. Mega Hawlucha falls, and Murdock officially declares Lucario the winner. The revenge match is a total success, proving that relaxation, trust, and a deep emotional bond can push a Pokémon far beyond its physical limits.
Ending Explained: The Road to Laqua
As the episode wraps up, Master Mayonnaise congratulates Roy and Lucario. Having witnessed the incredible potential of their unique Mega Evolution, he decides to part ways with the crew, embarking on his own journey to spread the wonder and endless possibilities of Mega Evolution to trainers across the world.
For the Rising Volt Tacklers, the final pieces of the puzzle are in place. Diana has her bags packed, Pecharunt has provided the final Poison Tera Type, and Roy’s team is stronger than ever. Their next destination is officially set: they are heading to Laqua to meet up with the legendary Rayquaza, the remaining Six Heroes, and their former rival turned ally, Amethio. The endgame of Pokémon Horizons is rapidly approaching, and if this episode is any indication, the upcoming battles are going to be nothing short of legendary.
