In
a desert city by the sea, Ash, Pikachu, and their friends meet the
Mythical Pokémon Hoopa, who can summon all sorts of things—including
people and Pokémon—through its magic rings. The little Mischief Pokémon
likes to use this talent to play harmless tricks on people...but when
its true power is released, it loses control and becomes the towering
and terrifying Hoopa Unbound! Long ago, a brave hero stopped its rampage
by confining its power in a special bottle. Now that the bottle has
been rediscovered, Hoopa must confront its greatest fear! Can Ash help
his new friend overcome the darkness within—or will this dangerous
struggle erupt into a clash of legends? Catch all the action presented
with dubbed English or subtitled dialogue options as well as 2.0 and 5.1
audio selections.
“Ash, Pikachu and the rest of the POKÉMON gang return for their latest feature film adventure in Pokémon the Movie:
