Warning: Spoiler for Pokémon Horizons, Episode #12Pokémon Horizon saw the return of the mysterious turtle Pokémon that saved Riko in the first episode, and this time it has a whole new power to show off. This time around, it’s an ability common in Legendary Pokémon, perhaps hinting at its true nature.
In the double-length first episode of Pokémon Horizons, Riko is protected from a misguided attack by a barrier erected by a mysterious, still-unnamed turtle Pokémon. Fans immediately drew a connection between this Crystal Turtle Pokémon and the Scarlet/Violet DLC’s Pokémon Terapagos, a Legendary-level Pokémon that appears to have a connection to the Terastal phenomenon. The mysterious Pokémon is not seen until episode #12, where it suddenly emerges from the pendant, in front of Friede and the others, to send a special message to Riko and Roy. This message appears to have come from the ancient explorer in possession of the Black Rayquaza, beckoning them to find their treasure.

When the mysterious Pokémon appears, it (with the help of Arboliva) will envelop Riko and Roy in a fog-covered barrier. Both young trainers hear a voice from within the mist, urging them to find the remaining Ancient Poké Balls, before the mist and barrier disappear, and the Pokémon returns to the pendant. Needless to say, Friede and the rest of the crew were stunned, not expecting a brand new Pokémon to emerge from Riko’s pendant. It is clear that the pendant has some connection to the ancient Poké Balls and the Pokémon inside is entrusted with a message for the future.
