Horizons unveils Captain Pikachu's past.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Captain Pikachu quickly made himself an integral part of Pokémon Horizons, even if he isn't as omnipresent as Ash's Pikachu was throughout that era of the anime. In episode 18, the series took a step back into the past to learn about how Friede first met Captain Pikachu, ultimately revealing how he developed his special powers of "flight" in the first place.
Episode 18 of Horizons is an extended flashback, mostly following Friede as a young man who's rapidly become disillusioned with working in a lab. Friede feels like he already knows everything he could learn in such an environment, and is beginning to feel like there's very little left for him to learn at all.
Captain Pikachu Dreams of Adventure Friede eventually works out the details of what Pikachu is up to--he's performing a Volt Tackle attack in a circular motion, creating a tornado-like rush of wind that he can ride high into the sky. What's less clear is why Pikachu does this every day, especially when Friede notices that he actually hurts himself a little each time he attempts this.
Captain Pikachu demonstrates determination in the face of adversity and a hunger for adventure, traits which Friede immediately relates to. It inspires Professor Friede to create the Rising Volt Tacklers, named after Captain Pikachu's technique, and to build an airship with the help of Orla and Ludlow. Pikachu is the reason the group exists at all, so it only seemed appropriate to name him the Captain.
This background on Captain Pikachu makes it clear that this Pikachu is a very different character from Ash's Pikachu, despite them both being Pikachu. Captain Pikachu has his own goals and desires, which is definitely an interesting thing to establish. It also poses an interesting twist on the Pokémon Horizons title, offering it a second meaning that ties into both Cap and Friede's origins.
