Also, Koichi Yamadera makes his return for the 18th movie in a row, playing Hoopa's recently revealed true form, "Hoopa (Unbound Form)"
As an additional surprise, judoka Shinichi Shinohara will be playing Hippopotas, the Pokemon Satoshi and the others encounter in the desert!

Add in Mizuki Yamamoto, who has already been announced as the short's narrator, and we have a unique lineup of extravagant voice actors to hype up this summer's movie!

Comments from the Voice Actors
	Tatsuya Fujiwara While I was very happy to be offered a voice role in a time-honored and popular movie series like this, I was so worried if I'd be able to deliver that I had to ask the producers again whether they were really okay with me doing it. I hope to portray Barza in a way that lives up to the expectations of Pokémon fans and that does the world of the movie justice.
	Koichi Yamadera I have played a number of humans and Pokémon in the movies before, but this time I get to play the immensely powerful star Pokémon! It's an incredibly important role, so even though I get to play in these movies every year, I want to go back to the basics and make a fresh approach to it. I'm also looking forward to working together with Kugimiya as she plays Hoopa's confined form.
	Shoko Nakagawa Mary is a girl with a firm personality who grew up together with Hoopa and watches over it with a kind disposition. Her emotions throughout the movie span the entire range from cheery and innocent laughter to complete distress, and while I've played a large variety of roles throughout the 9 movies I've been in, this one stands out as a particularly difficult one on paper. So far in my life, I have laughed, been amazed, been excited, been touched, cried and screamed together with Pokémon; I'm going to channel all these emotions into this voice role.
	Shinichi Shinohara My first reaction was "Why me!?" (laughs). To think that I will be acting in a Pokémon movie! I'm very honored. This is something I can brag to my kids about. I am a man that knows nothing but judo, but if it's to bring smiles to children all over Japan, I will also approach voice acting with the spirit and force of an Osotogari. Please look forward to my appearance on the big screen. I'm gonna do this!

Story

One hundred years ago, the desert city "Désser City" got severely damaged in a battle between Pokémon. The battle was started due to one specific Pokémon.
However, the Pokémon got sealed by someone, and the city went back to being as peaceful as ever, a state it still is in today.

As Satoshi, Pikachu and the others continue their journey, they encounter the mythical Pokémon Hoopa, who carries "rings that can summon anything and everything", and a girl named Mary who takes care of Hoopa.
The mischievous Hoopa starts summoning all kinds of things from its rings, including its favorite food, donuts, to everyone's surprise and enjoyment.

Ever a prankster, the simple-minded and innocent Hoopa starts referring to Satoshi and Pikachu as "Saton" and "Pikan". It quickly befriends the group, and they all decide to travel together.
Once they arrive in Désser City, Satoshi and the others meet Mary's older brother, Barza.

However, something seems off about him. On a closer look, he's holding the "Prison Bottle" that's said to have sealed the Pokémon that once destroyed the city!
An evil air drifts out of the bottle, eventually turning into a huge shadow. The shadow gradually becomes visible; It is Hoopa's original "Unbound Form": "Super Hoopa"!

The Pokémon that went on a rampage 100 years ago was Super Hoopa!
Hoopa's original power got sealed in the bottle, but over this long period of time, this immense power has changed into "Rage" and ultimately got reborn as the shadowy Super Hoopa.

The unbound Hoopa goes on a rampage, calling forth legendary Pokémon from its 6 rings! Primal Groudon, Primal Kyogre, Dialga, Palkia, Giratina and Kyurem...
This will put the city in extreme danger. In order to protect the city, Hoopa makes more legendary Pokémon "Appear!" from its rings!

This truly is "Legend VS Legend"! A battle that tears the earth to shreds, splits the sea and even distorts space!
Will Satoshi and his friends manage to protect Désser City alongside the legendary Pokémon Hoopa made "Appear!"? And how will the fight between Hoopa and Super Hoopa end!? The most fierce battle in Pokémon movie history is about to begin!
