==History==
A hundred years prior to the events of ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]'', Hoopa appeared in its Unbound Form in [[Désert City]]. It ate the villagers' food, but in return, it gave them huge piles of pure gold, allowing the small village to prosper and grow into a big city. Hoopa received a home at the village, granting the villagers all their wishes. When some people wanted to see if Hoopa could beat another Pokémon in a {{pkmn|battle}}, it proceeded to summon strong Pokémon, like {{p|Dragonite}} and {{p|Steelix}}, to fight it people's amusement. It defeated all of its opponents, and the villagers cheered for it the whole time. However, Hoopa eventually got carried away, and started to summon even [[Legendary Pokémon]], such as {{p|Zekrom}}, {{p|Reshiram}}, and {{p|Regigigas}}, to fight against it. As a result of these monstrous clashes, the entire Désert City was leveled to the ground. However, [[Ghris]] soon sealed Hoopa's power into a [[Prison Bottle]] he had created to stop its rampage, and reducing Hoopa into a much smaller, Confined Forme.

Later the group encountered Barza, who had retrieved the Prison Bottle from its hiding place. Upon touching it, he had however become possessed by Hoopa's Unbound Forme's power, which forced him to release it from the bottle. Upon being released, Hoopa Unbound took over Hoopa's body and went on a rampage, forcing Mary to reseal it back into the Prison Bottle. Barza and Mary explained Hoopa's backstory to the group, also explaining why Hoopa couldn't travel through its own rings. The Prison Bottle was later stolen by {{TRT}}, and Hoopa Unbound possessed {{MTR}} to make him open the bottle once again. Barza and Mary helped Hoopa to resist the power taking over it, and eventually succeeded in preventing that. Unfortunately, the Prison Bottle then suddenly broke into pieces, and Hoopa Unbound formed from the unsealed power. Barza explained that the form was in fact Hoopa's "shadow", formed of Hoopa's anger of being imprisoned for a hundred years. It had destroyed the Prison Bottle to prevent itself from being sealed again. Fortunately, Barza new how to create a new Prison Bottle, so he and the rest of the group headed out to do so, while Ash protected Hoopa from the shadow.

Hoopa summoned {{p|Lugia}} to battle the shadow, and later also {{p|Latios}}, {{p|Latias}}, and a {{Shiny}} {{p|Rayquaza}} as reinforcements. In counter, Hoopa Unbound summoned [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] {{p|Groudon}}, Primal {{p|Kyogre}}, {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, {{p|Giratina}}, and {{p|Kyurem}} to fight against them. A climactic battle ensued, during which Barza managed to recreate the Prison Bottle, which was then once again used to seal Hoopa Unbound. Unfortunately, Ash ended up touching the bottle, causing him to become possessed by the shadow. Thankfully, Hoopa was able to make up with the shadow, dispelling the darkness inside it. Hoopa then proceeded to save the citizens of Désert City from the space-time distortion caused by the summoning of all the Legendary Pokémon, even overcoming its disability to travel through its own rings in the process. Afterwards, Hoopa decided to help in repairing the damages done to the city before returning home with Barza and Mary

==Personality and characteristics==
==Personality and characteristics==
In its Confined Forme, Hoopa is a very simple-minded, innocent Pokémon who loves to pull pranks on unsuspecting people. It playfully referred to Ash and Pikachu as "Ashkan" and "Pikan", and would use its ability to summon everything and anything for its own amusement. Despite its playful and mischievous nature, Hoopa has a good heart and is capable of protecting its friends when the time is needed. Hoopa also loves donuts, not only for their delicious taste, but also for their shape.

Hoopa's Unbound Forme started out as a little arrogant, but deep down decent Pokémon, offering the people of Désert City loads of gold and wishes in return for food and a place to live in. However, when it started to battle other Pokémon for people's amusement, it soon got carried away and started to summon even Legendary Pokémon to prove its superiority, causing massive destruction in the process. A hundred years later, the Unbound Forme's anger of being imprisoned inside the Prison Bottle for all these years resulted it going in a rampage, attempting to take over its body and wipe out its personality from existence. Eventually, the darkness within it was driven away, allowing Hoopa to utilize its Unbound Forme without losing control.
