Hop (Japanese: ホップ Hop) is one of the rival characters in Pokémon Sword and Shield, the others being Bede and Marnie.

In the games

Hop is the player's neighbor and rival. His goal is to become the Champion, just like his brother Leon. Hop starts his journey with his first Pokémon, Wooloo, and the starter Pokémon weak to the player's choice. After meeting a mysterious Pokémon in the Slumbering Weald and receiving an endorsement from Leon, Hop and the player board the train to Motostoke, and their respective journeys begin. While an outwardly earnest boy, Hop's dreams are cast into doubt after a crushing defeat at the hands of Bede soon after earning his Fire Badge, compounded by frequent losses to the player and the pressure of following in his brother's footsteps. Believing he is making his brother look weak, Hop begins using different teams to get stronger but still comes up short, losing his first challenge at Circhester Stadium.

After the player wins at Circhester Stadium, Hop and the player learn more about the mysterious Pokémon of Slumbering Weald and their relationship to the hero. Motivated, Hop tells the player he has made up his mind and will no longer doubt himself, challenging them with his new, final team led by his newly-evolved Dubwool. Hop completes his Gym challenge and eventually meets the player as their second opponent in the Champion Cup in Wyndon Stadium. He is eventually defeated, and while visibly upset, Hop congratulates the player.

After the semifinals, Hop and the player search for Leon, who said he would be at the Rose of the Ronderlands hotel to join the two for dinner, but he did not show up. With the help of Piers, Marnie, and Team Yell, the player and Hop pursue a member of Macro Cosmos to Rose Tower, where they find Leon having a discussion with Chairman Rose at the top. Hop later appears to congratulate the player for clearing the final round of the Champion Cup, and after some encouragement by his starter Pokémon, he decides he is going to cheer for them over his brother. However, after Rose interrupts the Championship match, Hop suggests heading towards the Slumbering Weald to stop the return of Eternatus and the Darkest Day.

In the deepest parts of the Weald, the player and Hop are unable to find the mysterious Pokémon they once saw, and instead, they discover a Rusted Sword and Rusted Shield. Hop takes the Shield^Sw/Sword^Sh and make way to the Energy Plant in Hammerlocke. After defeating Rose, the player and Hop join Leon, who tries and fails to catch Eternatus. After the player knocks it out, Eternatus turns into Eternamax Eternatus. Hop joins the player in a Max Raid Battle against it, but they are unable to do anything until they use the Rusted Sword and Shield to summon Zacian and Zamazenta. Through the combined efforts of Hop and the Legendary heroes, the player can catch and stop Eternatus.

After becoming Champion, the player meets Hop again in the Slumbering Weald where Zacian and Zamazenta once slept, saying he felt compelled to come there. After congratulating the player and having another battle, the player and Hop attempt to return the Rusted Sword and Shield, but are stopped by Sordward and Shielbert, who attempt to steal the artifacts. The player successfully reclaims their artifact in a battle with Sordward^Sw/Shielbert^Sh, but Hop is defeated by the other brother and loses his artifact. Feeling responsible, Hop quickly pursues the brothers, who are causing Trainers' Pokémon to Dynamax by force and run amok in Stadiums. While helping the Pokémon in Max Raid Battles with the player, Piers, and the other Gym Leaders, Hop expresses newfound doubts, thinking he is only dragging his friends down.

Hop and the player eventually corner the brothers at the Energy Plant, where they drive Zamazenta^Sw/Zacian^Sh into a berserk state by exposing it to Dynamax energy. The player defeats it in battle, and the Legendary Pokémon runs off after nearly attacking Hop, who was trying to help it. Hop goes after it, leaving Zacian^Sw/Zamazenta^Sh in the hands of the player, who is challenged by the other Legendary Pokémon. After the player catches Zacian^Sw/Zamazenta^Sh, they go back to the Slumbering Weald, where they see Hop soothing a distraught Zamazenta^Sw/Zacian^Sh. Thankful, the Legendary hero offers to join Hop's team. Hop then declares he has a new dream; to become a Pokémon Professor to help people as he did during the past incidents, but he also says that he will always see the player as a rival. With that, he and the player have one more battle, with Hop using his new Legendary partner. After the battle, Sonia offers Hop a position as her assistant to help with his studies, which he accepts.

After the post-game story, Hop can be rematched as one of the challengers of the Champion Cup. This time, he uses a Gigantamax Corviknight. While not battling, he can be found in Sonia's laboratory at Wedgehurst.

League Cards

This is a transcript of the back of Hop's League Cards in Pokémon Sword and Shield.

Normal League Card

"This Pokémon Trainer got endorsed to take part in the Gym Challenge by his brother—the reigning Champion, Leon. Hop claims to have watched all Leon's matches. Commentators speculate that as a result, he might be quite the force to be reckoned with. The Champion himself has said that his brother has potential, but his carefully hoarded knowledge can go to waste as he tends to get easily flustered in battle. It's said that Hop's partner Wooloo is a great help to him both in battle and with chores around the house."

Rare League Card

"This Trainer ultimately was defeated in the final match of the Champion Cup Semifinals. However, many Gym Leaders speak highly of his battle style, where he will let his Pokémon battle freely and really enjoy themselves. During the incident with Eternatus, he provided vital assistance in resolving the situation, proving beyond doubt that he is a skilled Trainer in his own right. It is expected that his battles with the new Champion will be the stuff of legend."

"Hahaha! Have a look at you, <player>! That old Bag looks like it could pull you over! At least we know that it should hold anything Lee might bring, even if it's as big as a Snorlax!"

"A Wooloo... But what's it doing there?"

"Hey! You silly Wooloo! I see what you're up to! Don't go using Tackle on the fencing! Now, you listen! No going past that fence! No! Everyone knows there are scary Pokémon living in the Slumbering Weald!"

"Now that that's taken care of... How about it, <player>? Let's race! Bet I can make it to my house first, what with you lugging about that big old Bag!"

• Hop's House

"Mum! Is he here?!"

"Yeah, yeah, but where's Lee? Have you got him crammed in a cupboard?"

"Then that's where I'm going! You know Lee is hopeless with directions. I'll make sure he doesn't get lost on the way!"

"You've got the come with, <player>. You've still never met my big bro, right? You can't miss out on your chance to meet the undefeated Champion! I'll wait for you out on the route!"

• Outside

"Let's get a move on! Only remember, <player>... Wild Pokémon could come out of nowhere if you walk through patches of tall grass. I've got my Wooloo with me, so I'm ready for battles against wild Pokémon, of course. But not you, <player>! So we'll steer clear of the tall grass as we go."

Route 1

"Let's go and meet Lee at the station! It's dead ahead from here!"

If the player walks into the grass : "No wandering in that tall grass for you if you got no Pokémon of your own, mate!"

Wedgehurst

"Lee!"

"Bingo! That's the sort of sharp eye that's kept you undefeated so long, eh, Lee?"

"Come on, Lee! And you, <player>!"

"Bet I can beat the both of you back home!"

Postwick

• Leon giving the player and Hop their Starter Pokémon

"Come on, Lee! You promised us a present! So out with it! You brought <player> and me Pokémon. You did, didn't you? I know you must have!"

"Go on—you pick first. I've already got my Wooloo, after all."

If the player tries to leave without choosing : "Where are you going, <player>?! You haven't chosen a Pokémon yet!"

Grookey : "So it'll be Grookey for you? Nice one! Then I'll go with...Sobble! You're mine!"

Scorbunny : "So it'll be Scorbunny for you? Nice one! Then I'll go with...Grookey! You're mine!"

Sobble : "So it'll be Sobble for you? Nice one! Then I'll go with...Scorbunny! You're mine!"

"I'm aiming to be the next champion, so be ready! You and I'll be doing some serious training!"

• The next day

"Course I have, Lee! <player>'s made fast friends with his/her Grookey/Scorbunny/Sobble, too."

"What're you looking at him/her for, Lee? I'm the one who'll be coming to challenge you! If you think <player> might be able to challenge you, then I guess he's/she's my first rival! But I'm not planning to lose to him/her and miss out on my chance to beat the unbeatable Champion!"

"Just having a Pokémon with you doesn't make you a real Trainer, you know. Proper Trainers raise their Pokémon up to be first-rate in battle, too!"

If the player said No to battling : "Me and Sobble/Grookey/Scorbunny are ready to have a go at you anytime!"

If the player tries to leave without battling : "And where do you think you're off to, then? We're having a battle — you and me!"

If the player said Yes to battling : "I've watched every match that Lee's ever had! I've read every book and magazine he left behind at home, too! I know exactly what to do in order to win!"

• In battle

"A Pokémon battle it is, then! I've got two partners with me!"

After Wooloo faints : "It's not ever yet! I've added another trusty ally to my team!"

After player lands a Super-Effective hit on Hop's starter : "Did you already know about type advantages!?"

If the player hits a Critical Hit on either of Hop's Pokemon: "A critical hit? What kind of beginner's luck is that?!"

If the player defeats Hop :"You beat my two Pokémon with your one?! You and that Grookey/Scorbunny/Sobble are too much!"

• After battle

If Hop defeated the player :"Sorry, mate. Even if you did get your Pokémon direct from a champ like Lee, looks like I’m still the greatest!"

If the Player defeated Hop :"Well, that was a shock! Guess I know now why Lee thought he should give you a Pokémon, too..."

"I already want to get stronger and stronger! You've seen me battle now, Lee, so come on—— you've gotta let me take on the Pokémon Gyms!"

"Right, right, we get it... Pokédexes, then! We're on it! Looks likes it's off to the Pokémon Research Lab for you and me, <player>!"

"I'm going to be the next Champion, so completing a simple Pokédex will be nothing! Just another page in the tale of my legend! You'd probably better go tell your mum that we're heading out, though."

"<player>! Did you hear that just now?"

"The gate's open! And the Wooloo that was there..."

"It was tackling the fence pretty hard earlier. You don't think it actually broke through there, do you?"

"But it's off limits! Nobody's supposed to go in there! I remember the professor's granddaughter went in once, and she came back in a real state... And that was nothing compared to the earful she got from the professor afterward! <player>... What do you say?"

We've got to save it! : "Right? Even if we're not supposed to, this is the kind of scene where you simply have to do what's needed!"

I don't know... : "Right... No one wants to get in trouble, least of all me. But deep down you want to save that Pokémon, too, don’t you?"

"Hope you're ready for anything, because we're going in, <player>!"

If the player tries to leave : "The Slumbering Weald is over this way! Let’s go find that Wooloo!"

If talked to again : "Come on, <player>! We can't just leave that Pokémon on its own!"

Slumbering Weald

"That Wooloo… Where do you think it got off to?"

"The fog is really coming on thick now... If we don't find that Pokémon soon, this might be trouble."

If the player tries to leave : "Be serious, would you? We’ve got to go look for that Pokémon!"

"Doing all right there, Grooky/Scorbunny/Sobble? Let's be sure you're in tip-top shape."

"There. Now let's push on!"

"Did you hear that? Was that a Pokémon crying out, you think?!"

"Come on, <player>! That Wooloo might be in real trouble!"

If the player tries to leave :"Hey! <player>! Not trying to ditch me in here, are you?"

"This is mad... I can't even see my own hand in front of my face! I think I get now why this place is off-limits..."

"What in the——?!"

• In battle

After attacking : "Wha—?! The move had no effect on it?!

After attacking again : "<player>! I can't see anything! You OK?!"

After attacking a third time :"I can’t see anything!"

"Uwaaaaaah!"

• After battle

"Wha—? Lee? How’d you manage to find your way here? You’re pants with directions. You always get lost."

"Wait, where’s the Wooloo?! We were trying to rescue that Wooloo!"

"And at least that Wooloo’s all right… Yeah, Name? I thought we’d had it when that weird fog started rolling in and that mad Pokémon attacked… but at least it wasn’t all for nothing!"

"It seemed loads stronger than any Pokémon I’ve ever seen. And it just had this sort of presence… Our moves didn’t even touch it. I mean, really— they seemed to pass right through it!"

"Even if we did get an earful from Lee…what an experience! This’ll make a pretty fine first page in the tale of my legend!"

Postwick

• Outside of Player's House

"Don’t forget to tell your mum we’re off to Wedgehurst now. She’ll go spare if you leave without a word—even worse than Lee just did!"

If the player tries to leave : "You did tell your mum that we’re heading to Wedgehurst, right? She’ll go spare if you disappear without a word."

Route 1

"Here we go! This is quite the big step, you know. My first step toward becoming the next Champion!"

"Guess I’ll probably train up Sobble/Grooky/Scorbunny a bit by having it battle against Pokémon in the tall grass."

"You should get yourself to the building with the purple roof and the great red and white ball mark out on front. That’s the Pokémon research Lab!"

Wedgehurst

• After getting the Pokédex

"Got your Pokédex from Sonia? Then it’s time to meet lots of different Pokémon and start building up a strong team! But battling strong Pokémon in the wild can leave your team in a bad way. Not to mention what battling another Trainer can do… Luckily, we’ve got Pokémon Centers!"

"Luckier yet, they’re dead easy to spot. They look the same wherever you go."

"Come on, <player>. Bet you’ve never been inside one!"

• Pokémon Center

"Level with me, <player>. Is this your first time in a Pokémon Center?

Yes... :"Then the future Champion’s got you covered! First things first—you talk to the lady at the counter if you want your Pokémon healed up. And Pokémon you catch are kept in computers like the one you can find here, see? After all, you can only bring six Pokémon with you on the road in your party. The Potions they sell at the Poké Mart got me out of a real rough spot the other day!"

Of course not :"Then I don’t think you need me to tell you what you already know."

"Cheers! I’m already good, though. I’m heading to Route 2, <player>! Come find me, maybe, when you’re done here!"

• Outside

"Listen, <player>. I’ve been thinking... If you’re a Pokémon Trainer now, you must want to try your hand at the Gym Challenge, right?"

The Gym Challenge?/What's that? :"The Gym Challenge, mate! The annual competition where Trainers can battle it out for the right to challenge the Champion! But the trick is that you’ve got to be endorsed if you want to take part. And Lee doesn’t seem to think I’m up to snuff… So I’m thinking I ought to talk to the professor and see if she could help! You’ve got to take part, too! A proper rival is just the thing every Trainer needs to keep growing stronger, after all. Keeps you motivated, right? The professor’s house is way down at the end of Route 2, so let’s head there…and give our teams the chance to train up a bit along the way!"

Route 2

"Over here, <player>!"

"All right, <player>? It’s time we filled in out teams a bit—"

"Lee?! Where’d you come from?"

• After the catching tutorial

"Typical Lee!"

"The Pokémon on your team will get Exp. Points when you catch Pokémon, too."

"All right! I’m gonna catch loads of Pokémon. The professor will be shocked when she sees!"

• Outside Magnolia's House

"Look! There’s the professor!"

• Magnolia's House

"Hey, Professor, do us a favor, would you? Help me convince Lee he should endorse us for the Gym Challenge!"

"Right! I’ll be waiting outside, <player>!"

• Outside

"Hurry it up, <player>! You’ve gotta battle me so I can get myself that endorsement!"

if the player tries to leave :"Hurry it up, <player>! You’ve gotta battle me so I can get myself that endorsement!"

"I’m going to become the greatest Pokémon Trainer there is! And to do that, I need that endorsement to take part in the Gym Challenge! Come at me with everything you have so we can prove to Lee that we’ve got what it takes!"

Of course :"It’s time for my legend to begin!"

I need to prepare :"Oh, fine... Guess I can wait a bit."

• In battle

"Have you gotten a bit stronger? Me and my team will put you to the test and see!"

After player lands a Super-Effective hit :"Well, look at you! Seems you’ve really learned your type matchups!"

After player lands a Critical Hit :"You landed a critical hit on my Pokémon?! You’ve got plenty of spirit—that’s for sure!"

When Hop sends out his last Pokémon :"It’ll be a close one! But that’s exactly my sort of match!"

When Hop uses his starter's same-type move :"Have a taste of our true power!"

Branch Poke :"Our green power just keeps on growing stronger!"

Water Gun :"This wave is gonna crash right over you!"

Ember :"Our flames are burning bright!"

If the player defeats Hop :"Oof! Gutted that I lost… But I’d expect nothing less from my rival!"

• After battle

If Hop defeated the player for the second time :"Undefeated! And my Pokémon’s moves were seriously on point!"

If Hop defeated the player for the first time :"Hah! See that! I knew I could do it. Am I ever glad I could beat you this time!"

If the player defeated Hop for the second time :"And I even got my Poké Ball throw perfect, too!"

If the player defeated Hop for the first time :"This was you getting back at me for last time, wasn’t it? Argh! I’m gutted to lose to you of all people!"

"The sting of defeat and joy of victory... I guess going through both is the key to the two of us getting stronger, right?"

"Yes! Thanks, Lee! I swear I’m going to win my way through the Gym Challenge to reach you!"

"All right, <player>! You and me are going to train up against one another to aim for that Champion’s title!"

Absolutely! :"The more we keep battling against one another, the more our Pokémon will grow."

Against one another? :"That’s the way of it when you’ve got a great rival! Just like you’ve got me, and I’ve got you!"

"Huh? What’s that?!"

"<player>! Would you look at this? They’re Wishing Stars! Since there are two of them, you should take one yourself!"

"With one of those, my Pokémon can Dynamax! They’re gonna be massive! YES!"

"I will be the greatest Trainer ever! I WILL be the greatest Trainer ever! I WILL BE THE GREATEST TRAINER EVER!!! There! I’ve said it three times, so surely my wish will come true now, right?"

"Ah, right. You’ve done heaps of research on the Dynamax phenomenon, haven’t you, Professor? Then please! Give <player> and me the power to Dynamax our Pokémon!"

"First we got to battle against that mad Pokémon in the Slumbering Weald, and now this... It really feels like we’re getting caught up in the adventure of a lifetime!"

• The next morning, inside Magnolia's House

"It’s morning at last! And time for our adventure to truly start!"

"Er, well, there was weird heavy fog, and then this even weirder Pokémon appeared... <player> tried to fight it off! But then I think we both passed out or something. It’s all pretty hazy."

"Thanks, Professor! This is brilliant! It’s just like the one Lee has on him, too. Now we can Dynamax our Pokémon like he does!"

"The legend of my reign is finally about to begin!"

"Come on, <player>! I’ll beat you to the station!"

• Outside

"One last thing before we race, <player>. See, I’ve got some great advice for you!"

"You know how you sometimes see Pokémon wandering about out of the tall grass, yeah?"

"If you move real slow like, and crouch down, those Pokémon won’t pay you any notice."

"But on the other hand... If you whistle at them, you’ll be SURE to catch their attention!"

"If you’re a bit rubbish as whistling, just remember this: "Need a fail-proof trick? Press the Left Stick!""

"Try it out, and let’s see who can catch the most Pokémon, <player>!"

"You remember Wedgehurst Station, right? Where we went to pick up Lee before. That’ll be the goal, so see you there!"

Wedgehurst

"Come on, <player>! You’ll never beat me to the station at that pace!"

"So, out with it, <player>! How many did you catch? I caught a really special one!"

If the player did not catch any Pokémon :"And you got... Not one?! What were you doing this whole time? You’re going to want a team if you’re a Trainer!"

If the player caught one Pokémon :"And you’ve got yourself... Ooh, just one! Looks like we’re at a draw. Though we are rivals and all, so that’s fair!"

If the player caught multiple Pokémon :"But look at how many you caught! You’re well on your way to building a fine team."

"That’s a technical machine! A TM, mate! With a TM like that, you can teach your Pokémon a new move in a flash. And you can use them again and again, too. That one can teach the move Swift. Lee gave it to me ages ago, and now it’s yours."

"The Gym Challenge will begin in Motostoke! And our train’s waiting, so let’s go!"

• Train Station

"What’re you doing here, Mum?"

"Thanks, Mum. And just think how lucky you are—mother to the first ever pair of Champion brothers! Because I’m certain to be the Champion next. You’ll see!"

"Wish us luck! Not that we’ll need it."

"There are loads of brilliant Trainers and all kinds of Pokémon out there waiting for us! My excitement’s running ahead of me even faster than that train can go, Name! Come on! We’re off!"

• On the Train

"Motostoke is surrounded by a vast Wild Area! It’s a real sight. There’re all sorts of wild Pokémon just wandering about—everywhere you look! Plus, you can camp out, do a spot of fishing... I don’t think I could ever get tired of it!"

Meetup Spot

• Inside Station

"Hey, Mr. Station Master! Isn’t this the Wild Area? What’re we stopped here for?"

"What’s there to be sorry about? This is brilliant!"

Brilliant?/What is? :"This Wild Area is massive! There are loads of Pokémon to battle here! You get it, don’t you, <player>? This is the best possible place to put together the greatest team!"

• Outside

"Look at that!"

"That’s Motostoke, way off that way!"

"And between there and here are countless new Pokémon waiting to be met!"

"Oh, hello. And if it isn’t Sonia."

"Yikes... Being an adult has got its own challengers, eh?"

"Well, I’m off to go stick my head in as many of those red glowing dens as I can find. I’m going to battle the snot out of a bunch of Dynamax Pokémon and fill in another page in the tale of my legend!"

Motostoke

• Outside

"You made it, too?"

"Motostoke Stadium... This is where the opening ceremony will be held."

"Everyone’ll be watching the opening ceremony for the Gym Challenge... My mum... Your mum... The whole world!"

"It’s getting me a bit nervous, really... Naw, this isn’t nerves... I’m only trembling because I’m so excited!"

"Come on, <player>! It’s time the world learned our names!"

• Motostoke Stadium

"Would you take a look at this... The place is packed with Gym Challengers! Every one of these folks is another rival!"

"Let’s get signed up!"

"Seriously? What a piece of work..."

"Well, now you’ve had two, because I am as well!"

"I’m Hop! I’m Leon’s little brother, in fact. And the next Champion. Get me all signed up, would you?"

"That’s the League Chairman for you! Even booked us all hotel rooms! I’m off to check out the fancy digs!"

• Budew Drop Inn

"Oh hey, Sonia! What’re you doing at our hotel?"

"What’s this, then?"

"Huh... I suppose that hero must’ve been about as strong as Lee, then! Looks like you’re going to have your hands full with plenty to research, though, Sonia. Black storms and swords and shields and all..."

"Probably so! And we’ll look out for you, too, Sonia. If we hear anything about any hero or whatnot, we’ll tell you!"

"I wasn’t expecting checking in would be such a big fuss, <player>! What’s going on? Sneaking in some Pokémon battles without me?"

"Don’t think you can get ahead of me that easily... I need to get some training in, so I’m joining! Here, I’ll even heal up your Pokémon, too."

"I’m Hop, one of this year’s Gym Challengers! And the one who’s gonna be the next Champion! Now let’s have us a nice two-on-two!"

"So you’re a Gym Challenger, too? Team Yell, was it? Pretty impressive that you already have a set of fans to call your own!"

If talked to at any point :"I guess we probably should head to the front desk to get checked in."

• The next morning

"Morning!"

"So this is it... Now my legend really begins!"

"Watch out, <player>! I’ll beat you to Motostoke Stadium!"

• Motostoke Stadium

"I can’t wait for the first match! Pretty soon I’ll have so man fans, I’ll have to fight 'em off like Lee does!"

"Standing there on the pitch...in the stadium...in front of everyone! There’s really no words for it, but... I can barely contain myself! My heart’s racing!"

"Let’s do it, <player>! You know the Gym Challenge has a set order that you’ve gotta visit the Gyms in, right? The first is in Turffield! And to get there, we need to head to Route 3!"

• Outside

"There you are! I’ve been waiting! Let’s have a battle, you and me. We’ll get in a bit of training!"

All right! :"I knew you’d be up for it! We’ve got to stay keener than anyone else if we want to steal the spotlight from our rivals!"

But why? :"Seriously? This is the moment when you play along and act pumped up for battle! If you’ve gotta ask why we should bother training, you’ll never make it through the Gym Challenge!"

• In Battle

"Keep up, mate! This is our chance to see if we are up to the Gym Challenge!"

When the player uses a super-effective move :"Typical! Should’ve known you’d mastered type matchups!"

When the player lands a critical hit :"Landing a critical hit like that... You’re pretty tough when you get serious!"

When Hop lets out his last Pokémon :"Backed into a corner? You got it all wrong, mate! This’ll just make my victory all the better!"

When Hop uses his starter's same-type move :"Have a taste of our true power!"

Branch Poke :"Our green power just keeps on growing stronger!"

Water Gun :"This wave is gonna crash right over you!"

Ember :"Our flames are burning bright!"

After defeating Hop :"Was that really good training? Looks like I’d better keep my guard up!"

• After Battle

"Just what I’d expect from my rival! You know what? I’ll even give you one of my League Cards! That’s how good I think you did in that battle."

"Our Gym Challenge starts right now—from here in Motostoke! Although the first Gym Leader we’ll have to challenge is in a town way far off from here... Still, you’d better believe I’m going to keep on winning my way to that Championship Match!"

"Hello, Galar! Meet your next Champion! From the sleepy town of Postwick—it’s me, Hop!"

Turffield

"Look! Just take a look at that, <player>! That’s Turffield Stadium down there!"

"The Gym Leader just returned, too. Milo’s his name. But the place is jam-packed with challengers. It’ll be ages before our turn comes up..."

"Oh... But Sonia was looking for you, <player>. She wanted to ask you something. She tried asking me, but I had no idea. She’s up on that what’s-her-face hill. You know the one."

"What? You don’t know the hill? Well, have a look at your map if you’re not sure!"

"Oh! If it isn’t Sonia’s Yamper! He’s a good boy. He’ll show you the way!"

If talked to again :"What? You don’t know the hill? Well, have a look at your map if you’re not sure!"

"Take a look at this, <player>!"

"The Grass Gym Badge! I got it in one try!"

"I reckon I’m just about the greatest when it comes to wrangling Wooloo... I’ve had plenty of practice at it, after all!"

"But I’m sure you can win this one, too. After all, you are my rival!"

Route 5

"There you are, <player>!"

"I’m warning you, though... Any closer than that and we’re going to have to have a battle—you and me!"

"I warned you! We’re both Gym Challengers who’ve earned ourselves a Grass Badge. This is the perfect training!"

• In Battle

"Let’s have a taste of what a Gym Badge holder’s team can do!"

When the player uses a super-effective move :"Typical! Should’ve known you’d mastered type matchups!"

When the player lands a critical hit :"Landing a critical hit like that... You’re pretty tough when you get serious!"

When Hop uses a super-effective move :"I’ve learned loads from studying Lee’s battles!"

When Hop sends out his last Pokémon :"Every one of my Pokémon is an ace! This is no problem at all!"

When Hop uses his starter's same-type move :"Have a taste of our true power!"

Razor Leaf :"Our green power just keeps on growing stronger!"

Water Pulse :"This wave is gonna crash right over you!"

Flame Charge :"Our flames are burning bright!"

After defeating Hop :"We both got ourselves the same Grass Badge, so how come you’re so much stronger?!"

• After Battle

"You’ve gotten strong, <player>. Seems I’ve got to train even harder from now on."

"Next up is Nessa, the leader of the Water Gym!"

Hulbury

"All right, mate! You’ve got both the Grass Badge and the Water Badge by now, right? In that case, we’re both headed for Motostoke and the Fire Gym Leader, Kabu! How about I share with you a little tip about that Leader Kabu? From what I heard, he’s holed up now in Galar Mine No. 2, undergoing some special training! If he’s in there, then we can’t take him on in Motostoke even if we zip right over there—putting the brakes on our Gym Challenge. So I say we head to Galar Mine No. 2 ourselves! Let’s go see what all the fuss is about!"

Galar Mine No. 2

"Well, look at you, <player>!"

"Surrounded by adoring fans, eh? You’ll even be showing up Lee pretty soon!"

"Yeah? And can’t you see that I’m Hop, the Trainer who’ll be your next Champion?"

"You think I’m joking? I’ll prove it, then! And I think a battle with you lot would definitely end with some laughs!"

"Let’s take ’em together, <player>! You ready, mate?"

Yes :"The two of us were endorsed by the Champion himself! We’ll show you just what that means!"

No :"Got it! Then get yourself all ready for a good battle!"

"Nice one, <player>! That’s my rival for you!"

"Now then... Where could Kabu have gone off to? Let’s keep going. Maybe he’s further in!"

"That’s Kabu... Man, he’s wicked! No wonder he’s the Fire-type Gym Leader!"

"I remember Lee talking about Kabu. He said that a lot of Gym Challengers give up because they just can’t beat Kabu."

"Man, now I’m getting all fired up, too!"

Motostoke Outskirts

"That Carkol from before... I guess it must’ve been here on a job. You do know about Poké Jobs by now, right?"

I do :"Course you do!"

Poké what? :"Looks like there’s no helping it, in that case... Settle down and let professor Hop teach you a thing or two! Let’s see if I can remember what Lee had written down in his old notebooks... Basically, you can have your Pokémon go about and help companies or other folks who are in need of something. You can take Poké Jobs from the Rotomi at any Pokémon Center, so give it a look sometime."

"Now I’m cream-cracked! I’m for the Budew Drop Inn and some sleep. Come tomorrow, that Fire Gym Leader Kabu better be ready, because I’ll be coming for him!"

Motostoke

• Outside

"Slow moving, aren’t you, <player>?"

"I’ve already gone and earned my Fire Badge! That man of fire Kabu is just what you’d expect. Nearly got burnt in my battle with him! Even with my strongest team, it was definitely touch-and-go...but I still won in the end!"

"Get a shift on, <player>! I bet you could beat the man of fire, too!"

• Motostoke Stadium

"Hey, <player>! I was on fire in my battle against Kabu!"

"<player>! I figured that if anyone could do it, you and <Pokémon> would be the ones...but still! That match had me right at the edge of my seat!"

"With all the Badges we’ve earned ourselves, I reckon we should be all right even against the fierce Pokémon you find deep in the Wild Area. Let’s go find out for ourselves!"

• Outside

"Hurry it up, <player>!"

"Huh?"

"You’re the Gym Leader, but you still came all the way to see us off? Oh, I bet you can already tell that I’m the one who’ll become the next Champion, yeah?"

"Thanks, you all! We’re gonna keep winning! We’ve got to if we want to face-off in the Champion Cup, after all!"

"Come on, <player>! Let’s head for Hammerlocke!"

East Lake Axewell

"Hello again, Wild Area, my old friend! I’ve come back to you even stronger than before!"

"<player>! Hammerlocke is up that way—got it?"

"And, yeah, you could certainly rush straight there without a single detour..."

"but now that you and I have a few Gym Badges, we should be able to catch stronger Pokémon!"

"So I know what I’m doing. I’ll be catching myself some amazing Pokémon to fill in the next page in the tale of my legend!"

"Rubbish. More like you don’t know enough to recognize greatness when you see it. My throws are the greatest, and my bro is the finest Champion the world has ever seen! I’m not gonna listen to you insulting him!"

"You’re on then. I know you challenged <player> to battle in Galar Mine No. 2 and lost to him/her there. And I’m his/her greatest rival. In other words...there’s no way you’re beating me."

"I’ll show this wally my real skills in battle! So, see you later, <player>! Let’s meet up in Hammerlocke when I’m through with him!"

Route 6

"Oh, hey, <player>. You’re heading to Stow-on-Side, right?"

"Oi, Team Yell. Don’t suppose you’ll let us through?"

"Right..."

"What do you say, <player>? If we don’t get past them, we won’t be able to continue our Gym Challenge at Stow-on-Side..."

I'll battle them! :"You... Yeah, that’s the spirit!"

Let me think... :"I don’t figure thinking at them is going to change much about the situation. What else you got?"

"Think I’ll leave this to you, <player>. Keep up the pace."

"<player>... You and <Pokémon> were brilliant together!"

"See, Bede really wiped the floor with me the last time we battled... And don’t get me wrong—I can take a loss! Battling means you’ve got to lose sometimes."

"But he said that I was dragging Lee’s good name through the mud, being so rubbish like I was... And I just can’t get those words out of my head!"

"If I’m weak, then people’ll think Lee’s weak, too... But I don’t want that! I can’t let Lee get dragged down! He’s the unbeatable Champion! I’m gonna have to take some time figuring this out. See you around, <player>..."

Stow-on-Side

"<player>..."

"I’m still not too sure what I should do about all that stuff I told you before... About me being weak and dragging down Lee’s good name and all, yeah?"

"But the only think I can do is get stronger, right? So I’m gonna try out all kinds of different things against you and see what works!"

You're on! :"Then let’s do this! I bet an all-out battle with my true rival will help me get my head on straight!"

Wait a second... :"What? Your rival is depressed over here, and you won’t lift a finger to help?"

• In Battle

"All I’m after is victory, and I’m counting on you to help me grab it!"

When the player uses a super-effective move :"Who wouldn’t aim for a supereffective hit if they had the chance, right?"

When Hop lands a super-effective move :"How’s that? Supereffective damage! I’m always looking for an opening!"

When the player lands a critical hit :"Ouch! Even I hurt when you manage to land a critical hit like that one!"

When Hop lets out his last Pokémon :"I don’t know what I can do to try to win now... but all I can do is try! There nothing else for it!"

When Hop uses his starter's same-type move :"Have a taste of our true power!"

Razor Leaf :"Our green power just keeps on growing stronger!"

Water Pulse :"This wave is gonna crash right over you!"

Flame Charge :"Our flames are burning bright!"

After defeating Hop :"My strategy goes right to pot when I’ve got all these bad thoughts running through my head..."

• After Battle

"Hrmmm... I tried switching my team members in and out to max out their potential in every matchup, but... We just couldn’t get it together somehow... Maybe that’s why I’m still so weak..."

"But Lee really is the greatest Trainer! And I don’t want people to be laughing at him all because his little brother is rubbish!"

"It’s not enough! I’ve got to try harder! And harder and harder till no one’s laughing! I’m off, mate! Off to find the kind of Pokémon that I can really draw the strength out of!"

Hammerlocke

"Oh! <player>!

"First that forest, then that mad quiz... I’ve been lost in every sense of the word! But it looks like I’ve finally caught up to you again."

"Come with me to Route 7! I could use a bit of competition to motivate me!"

Route 7

"All right, <player>! You and I both know I’ve got to keep on trying different strategies if I’m gonna get strong enough to catch up to Lee... No! Not just catch up! If I want to surpass him!"

"So I think you know what’s coming, mate... Let me try out my latest in a battle against you!"

• In Battle

"All right! Time for me to test exactly how far I can go with my latest and greatest team!"

When the player uses a super-effective move :"The way you battle… You know, it kind of reminds me of Lee!"

When Hop uses a super-effective move :"How’d you like that attack?! Now I really feel like we’re getting somewhere!"

When Hop lands a critical hit :"Considered the possibility your opponent might land a critical hit on your Pokémon, mate?"

When Hop lets out his last Pokémon :"I’m the kind of guy who gets fired up to win in these situations!"

When Hop uses his starter's signature move :"Have a taste of our true power!"

Drum Beating :"Our green power just keeps on growing stronger!"

Snipe Shot :"This wave is gonna crash right over you!"

Pyro Ball :"Our flames are burning bright!"

After defeating Hop :"This is rubbish... My team can’t perform if I can’t get my own head straight as their Trainer..."

• After Battle

"Before we ever started out on this journey... I remember watching Lee on the telly. He was like a bright star, so strong I could hardly bear to look right at him. But now, I can tell just how strong he really is... And what he’s got that I haven’t..."

"But I’m getting stronger, too. Maybe not as fast as you, but fine. Whatever! Thanks for letting me battle you again. And here. I’ll heal up your team for you, too!"

"I think I know what it is I really want... I want to battle Lee—I want to take on my bro. But not just that, I want to beat him! I want to be the one who beats the unbeatable Champion! And I’m going to! My mind’s made up! You and me are going to have another battle once I get my Gym Badge in Circhester!"

Circhester

• Circhester Stadium

"Arghhh! I lost! It all went to pot!"

"There must’ve been something wrong with my strategy, but I did just what I’ve seen Lee do in battles! Here! Take it! It’s the Rock^Sw/Ice^Sh Leader’s League Card. You should check out the Gym Leader you’ll have to face, too."

"And me... I’ve gotta figure out what to put on my team once and for all, and no more of this doubting!"

• Bob’s Your Uncle

"Got that Gym Badge, <player>? Nice one!"

"Based on those statues we saw back in Stow-on-Side, the sword and the shield were actually two Pokémon, right?"

"You remember the Pokémon we met that day? Do you think...it could’ve been one of them? Either the sword or the shield Pokémon?"

"Come on! You know what I’m talking about, right, <player>?"

In the Slumbering Weald? :"Exactly! The mad Pokémon we ran into in the fog! Don’t you think that could’ve been it?"

I really don't :"Not so sharp when it’s not about battle, huh? Don’t you remember that mad Pokémon we ran into in the fog that day? Don’t you think that could’ve been it?"

• Hero's Bath

"What, like some hero waving around a sword and shield? Pull the other one. Though...I guess I’d fancy a shield^Sw/sword^Sh, if I had to take my pick."

"Why don’t we show her, <player>! Think we can pull off a real heroic battle?"

Absolutely? :"Sonia treated us to a great meal. After that curry, I feel like I’ve got the energy to wrestle a Bewear!"

"Time for a little exhibition match, starring the future Champion!"

Give me a minute... :"All right, I get it. Prepare as much as you like!"

• In Battle

"I’m counting on you, partner!"

When the player uses a super-effective move :"Now that’s a proper move!"

When the player lands a critical hit :"Steady on, partner! I feel your pain, and we’ll get them back for it!"

When Hop lets out his last Pokémon :"Think you’ve got me cornered? Not even close! It’ll be the greatest when I steal this win back!"

When Hop uses his starter's signature move :"Have a taste of our true power!"

Drum Beating :"Our green power just keeps on growing stronger!"

Snipe Shot :"This wave is gonna crash right over you!"

Pyro Ball :"Our flames are burning bright!"

After defeating Hop :"I still can’t even beat you, my true rival... But I think I’m starting to see the light!"

• After Battle

"I’m going to keep challenging that Gym! Then, once I get that Gym Badge, I’ll be heading for Route 9 to take on Spikemuth next."

Route 7

"<player>!"

"This is mad... You know what I mean?"

Where's Leon?/What was that loud noise? :"That’s what I’d like to know! That noise—it was like some massive explosion! There was this huge surge of red light, and then wild Pokémon just started Dynamaxing around me, brazen as you like!"

"Take a look at the news!"

"See! There’s Lee! He really is the greatest, right?"

"Lee and his Charizard took down that Dynamax Pokémon in the blink of an eye!"

"I knew Lee was strong, but this! Really makes you appreciate how great he is, eh? Let’s go meet up with him, <player>! He should be at Hammerlocke Stadium!"

Hammerlocke

• Outside

"Over here!"

"Yeah, but why?"

"Hey, do you reckon there’s anything we could do to help out?"

"Right. Course! You’re the unbeatable Champion, after all, eh?"

"I know what I need to do, all right—defeat that Piers once and for all! You’re off to Hammerlocke Stadium, yeah, <player>? Raihan’s a tough nut to crack!"

• Hammerlocke Stadium

"Raihan! I’m here to see just how good you are!"

"I’ve tried out lots of different strategies, and I’ve made up my mind about how I want to battle. I’m not gonna lose! I’m gonna beat you, and <player>, and even Lee!"

• Train Station

"Wait up, <player>! I’m coming, too! I had Raihan beat in no time! Once I got my head on straight and stopped doubting every decision I made, that is... Heh!"

"I reckon I’m still the favorite to win, but I’m up against my true rival, <player>... So I’ll wring out every last thing I learned during my battle with you, Raihan, to beat him/her! So get a move on, <player>! The train’s waiting!"

• On the Train

"We’re finally headed for Wyndon! There’s a lot I want to check out there. There’s that big tower...and the monorail... And Wyndon Stadium, where the whole of Galar—no, the whole world is gonna be watching us!"

"You get it, right? You and me are gonna make our match there the greatest match that ever was!"

Route 10

"So this is Route 10! It’s like a wall made out of snow!"

"Bet there’ll be Ice-type Pokémon crawling out of the woodwork in a place like this!"

"Come on, <player>! Reckon we’ll be able to train ourselves up to new heights here, before the Champion Cup starts?"

"I believe in myself and the Pokémon on my team, and I know we’ll all get loads stronger!"

"So I’m off! See you in Wyndon, mate!"

In Pokémon: Twilight Wings

Hop made a cameo appearance in Letter, where he tied a friendship bracelet to the right foreleg of his Wooloo. He briefly reappeared in Training, where he and his Wooloo were watching television.

Hop then appeared more prominently in Buddy, where he was revealed to be watching television with Wooloo so he could study Leon's technique and figure out how to become stronger. However, his admiration of Leon's Charizard caused Wooloo to run away. This prompted Hop to desperately search around town for it. By the end of the episode, Hop was reunited with Wooloo, whereupon he promised it that they will both challenge the Pokémon League together, and assured that it was perfect the way it was.
