Bonds between Trainers and Pokémon are a two way street.
It takes both the Trainer and the Pokémon to put in the effort and truly understand one another to form the truly sacred treasure known as a bond, and for a true partnership to form.

Roy (ロイ) - Pokemon (2023) - Episode 5
Onyx and Amethio seem to be quite similar in some aspects, both of them immediately reacting when their opponents look away during battle and pointing it by asking them where they are looking and both valuing honor to some degree (Onyx said before beginning the battle that he'd fight with honor, and Amethio didn't want to use Nyahoja as bargaining chip back in HZ003). They were quite polite to Liko the first time they talked to her too, despite being on opposite sides (Amethio addressed her with honorifics, and Onyx called her ojou-san before asking her to be his opponent). They've both been described as serious too (Onyx by Sango, and Amethio by Friede), and seem focused on their mission.
In fact, even back in HZ027, Onyx was the first one to agree with Amethio's suggestion to focus on finding Rayquaza over getting Terapagos. Makes me wonder if they ever worked together before, or if there is more to their dynamics.
I love Roy.
I love his Hogator.
Oh my god I am loving LikoRoy dynamic too.
Horizons is reaaaaally enjoyable so far but DAMN those cliffhangers shsjsjskks.
