Pokémon Horizons: The Series (BloodlustMunkidori's rewrite)

This rewrite of Pokémon Horizons: The Series, created by no one other than our boi Blood, is the eighth series of the Pokémon anime, but it is the tenth in Blood's rewrite. It succeeds Pokémon Journeys: The Series and is followed by Pokémon the Series: Scarlet and Violet. It premiered on April 14, 2023 in Japan with a one-hour special, and on July 2023 in the United States, also with an special, in this case, an one-and-half-hour one, alongside Journeys's special episode "Pokémon: The Distant Blue Sky".
NOTE: This is the same thing as his "Progverse" Horizons Arc, but also uses the same VAs as in the dub he wished to do.

==Trivia==
*In the original version, unlike previous series, the English titles of episodes follow the Japanese titles more closely, with most titles being direct translations. However, in this rewrite, they use the punny titles that Blood proposed if he was the dub's director.
**For example, HZ027 is called "As Long as I'm With My Friends!" in the dub, "Together With My Friends" in the Japanese version, and "Discovering How Friendship Tastes Like!" in the rewrite.
**However, this is more of a rewrite instead.
*Most of the Japanese VAs are the same as in the anime, but for the dub one, well, Blood decided to remove Lisa Ortiz and all union-based voice actors in favor of more Bang Zoom and Crunchyroll VAs. 
*All the openings and endings are the same as in the Japanese version. However, RVR ~The Rising Volt Tacklers' Rap~ is replaced by We Go in Arc 1, and Bodyguard in Arc 2.
