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 lead by his newly-evolved {{p|Dubwool}}. Hop is able to complete 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 player wins at Circhester Stadium, Hop and the player learn more about the mysterious Pokémon of Slumbering Weald and their relationship to the hero.
