The official website released various synopses of the film during promotion for The Archdjinn of the Rings, Hoopa.

First Synopsis

Satoshi and his friends continue their journey to become a Pokemon Master. Their jouney takes them to a Pokemon Center in the desert.

While taking a break and eating donuts, a mysterious Ring appears behind our heroes. Suddenly, a hand reaches out from inside the Ring and grabs the donut! "Wait!' Satoshi and Pikachu grab ahold of the hand and get pulled into the ring along with the donut! The ring then disappears leaving Serena, Citron, and Eureka behind, dumbstruck.

"Appear~!" Satoshi and Pikachu are thrown from out of the Ring. Satoshi is bewildered by the unexpected change in scenery. "Eee shee shee shee! Were you startled?" "What are you?" "Hoopa!" A large tower can be seen off in the distance. Amazingly, Satoshi and Pikachu have passed through the Ring and have been instantly transported to the place they were heading to anyway, Dessert City (デセルシティ).

Hoopa: The mysterious pokemon they're meeting for the first time. Just who is this pokemon? And what is the hidden power of its Rings? Satoshi, Pikachu, and Hoopa's adventure is about to begin!

Second Synopsis
One hundred years ago, the desert city of Dessert City suffered extensive damage due to a battle between pokemon. The battle broke out because of the existence of a certain pokemon... However, that pokemon was sealed away by an unknown person and the city returned to its previous state.

While on their journey, Satoshi, Pikachu, and their friends meet Hoopa, a phantom pokemon who has "Rings that can call forth anything you want" as well as Mary, the young woman who's been taking care of it. Everyone is surprised and happy when this rascally Hoopa uses its mysterious Rings to call forth donuts and other things it likes. This harmless pokemon likes to tease Satoshi and Pikachu by calling them "Saton" (サトーン) and "Pikan" (ピカーン). It becomes good friends with our heroes and eventually joins them on their journey.

Satoshi and his friends arrive in Dessert City and meet Mary's older brother, Balza. However, something seems to be wrong with Balza. Upon closer inspection they see that he's holding the "Confinement Urn" that was used to seal the pokemon who destroyed Dessert City so long ago! A dark presence seeps out from the urn. It seems like, after all this time, the seal on the urn is about to be broken.

Just then, legendary pokemon with a simliar air about them begin to appear one after the other! Primal Groudon, Primal Kyogre, Dialga, Palkia, Giratina, and Kyurem...if this keeps up the city will be in real trouble! In order to protect the city Hoopa uses its Rings to call forth new legendary pokemon and make them "Appear~!" Can Satoshi and his friends protect the city together with the legendary pokemon that Hoopa made "Appear~"? And what is the true identity of that dark power?

Legendary vs. Legendary! The biggest battle in the history of Pokemon movies is about to begin!

Hoopa's true power was sealed in the urn where its long confinement transformed it into pure rage and now it's been revived as the black shadow Super Hoopa!
