History

Pre-series

Chalce was one of the members recruited by Hamber to follow Gibeon's mission, being trained by him personally along with the other members of the team barring Spinel. Among the four Hamber trained, she was the fourth and last to be recruited, after Amethio, Coral, and Sidian.

Pokémon Horizons: The Series

Chalce first appeared as a hologram in The Ancient Poké Ball, alongside the other Explorers admins.

The first time she spoke and was seen clearly was in Quaxly, We Can Do It, questioning Spinel about his last failure.

She made her physical debut in As Long as I'm with My Friends. She and the other admins joined in a meeting to discuss the Explorers' next objective. Eventually, they decided to go after the Black Rayquaza. Despite remaining quiet for practically the entire meeting, she questioned Spinel about what he actually had in mind during his participation in the meeting.

In Respective Departures, Chalce was monitoring Amethio's training with Hamber with Spinel, so they decided to focus on their main objective, which is finding Black Rayquaza.

In The Plan to Capture Rayquaza, Chalce, Coral, and Sidian summoned the Black Rayquaza near Levincia by using a machine that generated an energy similar to that Terapagos emitted previously and had their Pokémon battle against the Sky High Pokémon. They started strong, unleashing powerful super effective moves, but lost control over Rayquaza once Dot managed to shut down the machine. Once the tides had turned, Coral let her temper overcome better judgment and commanded her Glalie to use Self-Destruct, which was powerful enough to blast the Legendary Pokémon directly into the hull of the Brave Olivine.

In Welcome to Naranja Academy!, Chalce was shown to have infiltrated Naranja Academy as a teacher, while also being able to forge enrollment permits for Coral and Sidian as students under fake names.

In Showdown! The Paldea Elite Four, Chalce watched Coral and Sidian's battles against the members of Paldea's Elite Four. During Liko's battle against Rika in the following episode, Dot discovered that Chalce was being spied on by Penny after discovering that Explorer's profile was illegally placed in the Naranja Academy system under the pseudonym Chive (Japanese: アゲパン Agepan). After a brief conversation with Dot, Chalce returned the Scarlet Book to the academy's library and left.

In The Approaching Shadow!, Chalce helped Spinel separate Liko, Roy, and Dot's group as per his goals. After Spinel trapped Liko and Amethio in a cave, Spinel revealed to Chalce what he discovered after using the Laquium, which left Chalce in awe. In the next episode, Chalce monitored Coral and Sidian's battle against Roy and Dot and upon Grusha's arrival on the battlefield, she ordered their retreat. Later, during the meeting with Gibeon, Chalce acted as Spinel orchestrated and acted in a way that made it seem as though she had no part in the events that occurred at Glaseado Mountain, resulting in Amethio being put on probation from Explorers.

In Infiltrating the System! Naranja Academy in Danger!, Chalce had infiltrated the Naranja Academy to steal data regarding Terapagos. She sent Sidian and Coral to prevent Liko and Roy from interfering, while she sent her Medicham to keep guard. Medicham proceeded to alert Chalce of Dot's arrival and battled Quaxwell to stall them both. Despite interference from Dot's Tinkatink and Penny's counter-hacking, Chalce still successfully acquired the data before recalling Medicham and teleporting away with her Xatu to escape.

In Shine on, Terastallization! Liko vs. Roy!, Chalce met up with Spinel at the Explorers base and, looking at the data she stole, they discussed on their next moves.

In The Wonders of the World!, Chalce met with Spinel at Exceed headquarters, where they discussed Amethio's whereabouts after he was put on probation.

In The Truth Revealed!, Chalce attended a meeting with the other Explorers where Sidian reported that the Rising Volt Tacklers successfully obtained all Six Heroes and restored Pagogo to its full strength. Gibeon instructed everyone to prepare for the battle that will follow in Laqua.

In Where the Land Meets the Sky, Chalce spied on the Rising Volt Tacklers from the shadows in Pericarp Town before slipping into an Exceed building when Captain Pikachu sensed her presence.

In The Pokémon Paradise of Laqua!, after Pagogo removed the barrier keeping Laqua sealed, Liko, Roy, and Dot were greeted by Chance, Coral, and Sidian. In the following episode, the Explorers admitted they were aware of Laqua's location from the beginning and just waited for the Rising Volt Tacklers to take down the barrier for them. Having achieved their goal, the Explorers decided to get rid of the Rising Volt Tacklers by battling them. Chalce had the advantage for most of her battle with Dot, but the latter eventually started gaining the upper hand after she implemented more unpredictable tactics. The battle never reached a proper conclusion as it was interrupted when a large vortex of pink mist began filling the air.

In Guided by the Black Rayquaza!, the Explorers continued to prevent Liko's group from heading further into Laqua, only to be attacked by Onia and Zirc. This distraction allowed Liko, Roy, and Dot to run ahead and confront Gibeon. Later, Chalce and her allies supported Gibeon by utilizing machines designed to stimulate the ground where the Laquium was buried, forcibly activating it and making it expand uncontrollably. Chalce, Coral, and Sidian used their Pokémon to block any incoming attacks that would damage the machines.

In Where the Adventure Leads, Chalce watched in confusion as Gibeon vanished. However, when Spinel announced that he would surpass Gibeon and that the Explorers would take control of Laqua, she quickly came to her senses, and when Sidian and Coral began to object to Spinel's sudden ambitions, Chalce told them that everything was fine and to just keep quiet and watch.

One year later, in HZ095, Chalce monitored the exhibition battle featuring the Explorers against Liko and Roy during the Strong Sphere demonstration. When Coral commanded her Glalie to use Self-Destruct, Chalce immediately raised a wall to block off the crowd and ended the event. After Liko, Roy, and Uruto escaped, she met with the other Explorers to discuss their next objectives. Chalce also reminded Coral and Sidian that as long as the Explorers have the public on their side, Liko's group can't do anything to stop them.

In HZ104, Chalce was seen monitoring Hamber when he discovered Amethio's whereabouts from Zirc and Onia.

In HZ108, Chalce was shown eavesdropping on a phone call between Hamber and Diana before teleporting away with the help of her Xatu.

Character

Chalce appears to have a calm and collected personality; she does, however, tend to be critical towards her allies if they fail missions, such as with Spinel and Amethio, as well as having a sarcastic sense of humor. She is also shown to be a skeptic, dismissing the existence of the ancient Pokémon discussed in Occulture as nonsense. She appears to get along with Spinel, with both of them being Trainers who specialize in gathering information, being discreet, and using subterfuge. In general, Chalce appears to be the intellectual of the group, researching and gathering knowledge and designing technology to help the Explorers achieve their missions.

Amidst the internal power struggle for supremacy between the Explorers admins, Chalce has proven to be particularly aligned towards Spinel and his goals, helping him monitor his various targets, joining him during the mission to try to get Amethio out of the way in The Approaching Shadow!, and ultimately giving her full support to his takeover of the Explorers as of Where the Adventure Leads. That she was willing to do such things without hesitation is indicative of a particularly cruel and cold-hearted nature.

Among the members of the Rising Volt Tacklers, Chalce appears to clash most often with Dot, confronting her several times, including intellectually, this began during the battle against Rayquaza in The Plan to Capture Rayquaza and extended throughout and after the period in which Dot was present at Tera Training.

Pokémon

As seen so far, Chalce appears to specialize in Psychic-type Pokémon.

Medicham

Debut	As Long as I'm with My Friends
Voice actors
Japanese	Arisa Shida
English	Emily Bauer Jenness

Medicham is Chalce's first known Pokémon as well as her main partner. Like its Trainer, Medicham shares a calm and reserved personality. This was seen in As Long as I'm with My Friends, where Medicham only avoided direct contact with Coral's Glalie.

In The Plan to Capture Rayquaza, Medicham was used to battle against the Black Rayquaza, where it, Coral's Glalie, and Sidian's Garganacl joined forces to damage it with their combined attacks. Roy tried to stop Chalce from catching Rayquaza with an Ultra Ball by having his Wattrel knock the Ball away with Spark, only for Medicham to knock it out of the sky with Psybeam. It soon battled Dot's Quaxly and Tinkatink, but this was merely a distraction to allow Dot to deactivate the generator that was luring in Rayquaza. It was then subsequently struck and defeated by Rayquaza's Draco Meteor, after which it was recalled by Chalce before retreating.

In The Approaching Shadow!, Medicham used its psychic powers to move a boulder to block Liko's path and separate her from her friends, as part of Spinel's plans. In Infiltrating the System! Naranja Academy in Danger!, Medicham was used to battle and stall Dot and her Quaxwell to prevent them from interfering with Chalce's plans. After Chalce acquired the data regarding Terapagos, she recalled Medicham and escaped with her Xatu's Teleport.

In The Rising Volt Tacklers vs. The Explorers!, Medicham was used to battle against Dot's Quaxwell. Despite having the advantage for most of the battle, thanks to Dot's unpredictable tactics Quaxwell was able to gain the upper hand in battle.

Medicham's known moves are Psybeam, Zen Headbutt, Confusion, Calm Mind, and Stored Power.

Xatu

Debut	Infiltrating the System! Naranja Academy in Danger!

Xatu is Chalce's second known Pokémon. It was first seen in Infiltrating the System! Naranja Academy in Danger!, where it was used to help its Trainer to flee.

Xatu reappeared in HZ108, teleporting Chalce away after she eavesdropped on a phone call between Hamber and Diana.

Xatu's only known move is Teleport.
