Curiously, we discover some similarities between Ash and Pikachu’s early relationship and the one between Liko and her starter Pokemon.
The Japanese blurb for episodes 1 and a pair of reads:
“Liko is a woman from the Paldea area, who has enrolled at Indigo Academy, a boarding faculty situated within the Kanto area. Liko is delighted to obtain her first Pokemon, Sprigatito, however she struggles to deepen her bond with the Pokémon, who doesn’t take heed to her in any respect.

Curiously, it appears that evidently Pokemon Horizons is not going to initially happen in Paldea, regardless of Liko getting a starter Pokemon from that area.
As a substitute, Kanto, house of Ash Ketchum (and our new dual-protagonist Roy) would be the anime’s place to begin.
