Plot[]
One hundred years ago, Dahara City was threatened with destruction when Hoopa brought a number of Legendary Pokémon into the area, but was saved when a mysterious man bound its power with the Prison Bottle. In the present, Ash and his friends arrive in Dahara City and meet Meray, who cares for Hoopa in its peaceful Confined form. Meray's brother, Baraz, obtains the Prison Bottle in hopes of restoring Hoopa's true power, but that power has grown angry over the years and seeks revenge. After escaping from the Prison Bottle, the evil Shadow Hoopa goes on a rampage to erase its weaker self, culminating in both Hoopa summoning groups of Legendary Pokémon to fight each other. In order to save Dahara City, Meray, Baraz and Ash's friends must recreate the Prison Bottle and stop Shadow Hoopa, but even if they succeed, an even greater threat may still await.
