When it comes to checking out new Pokemon Horizons episodes, there are two options while the dubbed iterations catch up to the current story. The first involves using a VPN and an Amazon Prime Video subscription, setting the watcher's device's IP address to the Japan region, then using Prime Video to access the Japanese catalog where new Horizons episodes are uploaded quickly after airing.

If Prime Video isn't a feasible option, the alternative is to wait until roughly the following Sunday/Monday after the episode airs. At this time, fan translators make their subtitles available on third-party anime sites. It's still recommended to visit these sites with an active VPN and antivirus software.

The Episode 68 preview kicks off with our heroes reuniting with the Rising Volt Tacklers on the Brave Olivine alongside their partner Pokemon. After the Pokemon are reacquainted on the airship, the preview transitions to Friede opening a case containing the ancient belt of the adventurer Lucius. The Rising Volt Tacklers are then seen speaking to Liko, Roy, and Dot.

Crocalor is then shown trying to eat a Tatsugiri on the airship before Lucius' Lapras, Arboliva, and Galarian Moltres are seen. Liko, Roy, and Dot recoil at something before Arboliva is shown attacking Floragato, which is dodging its attacks. The three Pokemon belonging to Lucius are shown again before Liko appears, staring at something as leaves fly in the breeze behind her.

The final scene of the preview shows Terapagos looking into the distance in awe. What's going on with Lucius' Pokemon? Are they hoping to train our heroes ahead of their new adventure, and what is the plan to find Lucius' remaining Six Heroes including the dreaded Black Rayquaza? The only way to find out is to check out Episode 68 after it airs on October 11.
