The film will feature Ash, Pikachu, and his friends, plus the legendary Pokemon Hoopa. Despite its cute appearance, Hoopa has potentially powerful abilities, which have not yet been unleashed. It is also said that a dark force will attempt to transform Hoopa's amiable nature into a grouchy one, post a threat to Ash and his friends. Intimidated by an ill-tempered Hoopa, Ash and Pikachu will attempt to battle the legendary Pokemon in order to save it.
Rumors also say that Hoopa is the key to the appearance of other legendary Pokemon in the movie, including Groudon and Kyogre in their Primal forms as well as a Shiny Mega Rayquaza. However, the said legends are either enemies or allies to help save the world from the raging Hoopa.
