Editing Roy (Pokémon Horizons) (section)

== In the anime ==
Roy debuted in HZ003. In the morning after a storm, he ran to the beach, where he found the flag missing from the Rising Volt Tacklers' airship.

In HZ004, it was revealed that Roy attends virtual school and that the mysterious Poké Ball was given to him by his grandfather. After noticing that his Secret Base had been raided, Roy came across a Fuecoco and befriended it. Soon, they heard a commotion nearby and ran towards it to find Liko and Sprigatito running from a group of wild Pokémon. Despite their best efforts to escape, however, they were cornered and tied up by multiple String Shots until Friede came to their rescue. Afterwards, Roy and Fuecoco parted ways.

Wanting to meet Fuecoco again, Roy snuck on the Brave Asagi, but he got caught by Captain Pikachu, waking up everyone on the aircraft in the process. Roy wanted Fuecoco to be his partner, but Friede told him that Fuecoco had to reciprocate those feelings as well. He and Liko searched all over the Brave Asagi, and while they weren't able to find Fuecoco that night, Roy decided to left it some Oran Berries. In the next day, Roy stumbled upon an agitated Fuecoco, who told him that there was trouble brewing at the Brave Asagi. At the beach, Roy partnered with Fuecoco to battle against Zir and his Rhydon. By chanting alongside the Fire Croc Pokémon, Roy helped Fuecoco to successfully fire off an Ember.

In HZ006, Roy battled against Amethio for the first time and, even alongside Liko, was quickly overwhelmed by his strength. When Ceruledge was about to finish off Fuecoco and Sprigatito, Roy's ancient Poké Ball started to shine brightly and released a Black Rayquaza, who fired a Draco Meteor that forced the Explorers to retreat and flew away. Later that day, Roy opened his heart to Fuecoco, confessing that he wanted it to be his partner. Fuecoco reciprocated those feelings and spat out a Poké Ball that Friede's Charizard gave it, allowing Roy to catch it. After stating he wanted to realize both his and Fuecoco's dreams, his grandfather allowed him to go out on his Pokémon journey with the Rising Volt Tacklers.
