{{{There are spoilers if you are wondering}}} Hahaha, now this was another childhood favorite of mine. It was so bad that it was good... I haven't watched this in years, but I remember how right off the bat ash (or satoshi, i wasn't reading subtitles at the time) and his friends were chilling in a pool, in a desert, literally in the middle of nowhere. I'm not exaggerating, they were the only ones. All of a sudden they and the water are teleported to hoopa and the person incharge of him (is he a girl? idk). because they (the person) asked for a cup of water.1. they live in this whole ass city and hoopa decided to get water from a desert?????
2. the water is chlorinated

Now ash and his friends are part of the storyline,,.. wooh, yay, mc's are now im the story...

Hoopa shows his powers, makes a bunch of pikachus show up blah, blah, blah and then he turns into a big boi!!!
This is where things are a little blurry in my mind. Baby hoopa turns into a big hoopa, and then there are two hoopas??? I'm not sure how they split exactly, but i'm pretty sure big boi hoopas goal is to capture baby hoopa in order so he can stay alive,,,,???

They gotta fight the big hoopa, a bunch of other legendary pokemon come to help (rayquaza, lugia, latios, latios and a couple more)
Lots of ring/hoops involved. They are used to teleport. And damn, big hoopa is a - s t a l k e r-
Big hoopa is scary. lol
In the end they save the world, the end.

One thing i remember is that I felt as if their lives were in danger. Usually when watching pokemon you're like, "oh yeah, we know there is going to be cliche problems, but in the end everything will be alright."
However, when I was watching this I actually feared for ash and baby hoopa's lives.

Oh, and also. Wasn't one of hoopa's owner (trainers??) the one that went to some cave and made him turn into the big boy. Dumbass.

Solid 8/10, purely out of memory.
