Chalce (Japanese: アゲート Agate[2]) is one of the admins of the Explorers, and a recurring major antagonist in Pokémon Horizons: The Series.

In animation

History

Chalce first appeared as a hologram in The Ancient Poké Ball, alongside the other Explorers's admins.

The first time she spoke and was seen clearly was in Quaxly, We Can Do It, questioning Spinel about his last failure.

She made her physical debut in As Long as I'm with My Friends. She and the other admins joined in a meeting to discuss the Explorers' next objective. Eventually, they decided to go after the Black Rayquaza. Despite remaining quiet for practically the entire meeting, she questioned Spinel about what he actually had in mind during his participation in the meeting.

In Respective Departures, Chalce was monitoring Amethio's training with Hamber with Spinel, so they decided to focus on their main objective, which is finding Black Rayquaza.

In The Plan to Capture Rayquaza, Chalce, Coral, and Sidian summoned the Black Rayquaza near Levincia by using a machine that generated an energy similar to that Terapagos emitted previously and had their Pokémon battle against the Sky High Pokémon. They started strong, unleashing powerful super effective moves, but lost control over Rayquaza once Dot managed to shut down the machine. Once the tides had turned, Coral let her temper overcome better judgment and commanded her Glalie to use Self-Destruct, which was powerful enough to blast the Legendary Pokémon directly into the hull of the Brave Olivine.

Chalce as Agepan

In HZ046, Chalce was shown to have infiltrated Naranja Academy as a teacher, while also being able to forge enrollment permits for Coral and Sidian as students under fake names.

In HZ055, Chalce watched Coral and Sidian's battles against the members of Paldea's Elite Four. During Liko's battle against Rika in the following episode, Dot discovered that Chalce was being spied on by Penny after discovering that Explorer's profile was illegally placed in the Naranja Academy system under the pseudonym (Japanese: アゲパン Agepan). After a brief conversation with Dot, Chalce returned the Scarlet Book to the academy's library and left.

Spinel explaining his findings about Laquium to Chalce

In HZ064, Chalce helped Spinel separate Liko, Roy, and Dot's group as per his goals. After Spinel trapped Liko and Amethio in a cave, Spinel revealed to Chalce what he discovered after using the Laquium, which left Chalce in awe. In the next episode, Chalce monitored Coral and Sidian's battle against Roy and Dot and upon Grusha's arrival on the battlefield, she ordered their retreat. Later, during the meeting with Gibeon, Chalce acted as Spinel orchestrated and acted in a way that made it seem as though she had no part in the events that occurred at Glaseado Mountain, resulting in Amethio's expulsion from the Explorers.

In HZ066, Chalce had infiltrated the Naranja Academy to steal data regarding Terapagos. She sent Sidian and Coral to prevent Liko and Roy from interfering, while she sent her Medicham to keep guard. Medicham proceeded to alert Chalce of Dot's arrival and battled Quaxwell to stall them both. Despite interference from Dot's Tinkatink and Penny's counter-hacking, Chalce still successfully acquired the data before recalling Medicham and teleporting away with her Xatu to escape.

In HZ067, Chalce met up with Spinel at the Explorers base and, looking at the data she stole, they discussed on their next moves.

In HZ075, Chalce met with Spinel at Exceed headquarters ands the two discussed Amethio's current whereabouts and their goal to find Laqua.

Character

Chalce appears to have a calm and collected personality; she does, however, tend to be critical towards her allies if they fail missions, such as with Spinel and Amethio, as well as having a sarcastic sense of humor. She is also shown to be a skeptic, dismissing the existence of the ancient Pokémon discussed in Occulture as nonsense. She appears to get along with Spinel, with both of them being Trainers who specialize in gathering information, being discreet and using subterfuge.

Amidst the power struggle between the Explorers, Chalce proved to be quite loyal to Spinel's goals, helping him monitor his targets and joining him during the mission to try to get Amethio out of the way in HZ064. The fact she was willing to do so without hesitation indicates her more cruel and cold-hearted nature.

Pokémon

As seen so far, Chalce appears to specialize in Psychic-type Pokémon.

Medicham is Chalce's first known Pokémon as well as her main partner. Like its Trainer, Medicham shares a calm and reserved personality. This was seen in As Long as I'm with My Friends, where Medicham only avoided direct contact with Coral's Glalie.

In The Plan to Capture Rayquaza, Medicham was used to battle against the Black Rayquaza, where it, Coral's Glalie, and Sidian's Garganacl joined forces to damage it with their combined attacks. Roy tried to stop Chalce from catching Rayquaza with an Ultra Ball by having his Wattrel knock the Ball away with Spark, only for Medicham to knock it out of the sky with Psybeam. It soon battled Dot's Quaxly and Tinkatink, but this was merely a distraction to allow Dot to deactivate the generator that was luring in Rayquaza. It was then subsequently struck and defeated by Rayquaza's Draco Meteor, after which it was recalled by Chalce before retreating.

In HZ064, Medicham used its psychic powers to move a boulder to block Liko's path and seperate her from her friends, as part of Spinel's plans. In HZ066, Medicham was used to battle and stall Dot and her Quaxwell to prevent them from interfering with Chalce's plans. After Chalce acquired the data regarding Terapagos, she recalled Medicham and escaped with her Xatu's Teleport.

Medicham's known moves are Psybeam, Zen Headbutt, and Confusion.

Xatu
Chalce's Xatu
Debut HZ066

Xatu is Chalce's second known Pokémon. It was first seen in HZ066, where it was used to help its Trainer to flee.

Xatu's only known move is Teleport.
