Horacio (Japanese: ハヤテ Hayate) is a recurring character who first appeared in Mounting an Electrifying Charge!. He is a rival of.

History
In Mounting an Electrifying Charge!, Horacio entered the Charjabug race as the leader of the Red Comet team with his  and his brothers  and Yansu. He was certain that his Charjabug's top-class equipment and -increasing nature would allow him to win the race with ease. During the race, he constantly mocked and his own. He also kept yelling at his brothers and insisted they keep pushing on, despite the fact that his Charjabug was getting exhausted from all the obstacles it had to face during the race. Eventually, Horacio's Charjabug got stuck when it was unable to climb an ice-covered slope. Sophocles's team eventually won the race, much to Horacio and his brothers' dismay.

Horacio reappeared in SM106 alongside his brothers. At Vast Poni Canyon, Horacio with his brothers meets Sophocles, and Ash again, who were planning to evolve Sophocles own Charjabug. Horacio tells them his own plans to evolve his Charjabug by obtaining a legendary "Bug Stone" that he believed could evolve any. Horacio was challenged by Sophocles to a race to see who could evolve their Charjabug first which he accepted. Under the contention of having no help from anyone, Horacio had his brothers wait outside with Kiawe, Hapu and Ash. Due to Sophocles's fear of the dark, he struggled to get through a cave, allowing Horacio to easily get ahead and make his way to a rope bridge that led to the Bug Stone. Horacio tried crossing the bridge, only for it to collapse underneath his feet, leaving him and Charjabug to hold onto it for safety. Sophocles's own Charjabug subsequently evolved into a and carried Horacio and his Charjabug to safety, before retrieving the Bug Stone. Afterwards, Sophocles gave the Bug Stone to Horacio, only for it to not work when he tried it on his Charjabug. He then learned that Charjabug evolve into Vikavolt with the canyon's special magnetic field, not an evolutionary stone. Horacio then vowed to train and evolve his Charjabug so they could face Sophocles in a Vikavolt race one day, before taking his leave.

He will appear again in SM119.
