==Biography==
Hop was first mentioned by Sonia (though not by name) as she was discussing Leon's backstory to Goh.
Hop would not make his debut until the start of the Masters Eight Tournament. He recognizes Ash and challenges him into a battle outside of Wyndon Stadium, which Ash accepts. Hop orders his Wooloo to use Double Kick on Ash's Pikachu, only for Pikachu to use his Iron Tail to knock out Wooloo in one hit. Nevertheless, Hop is impressed with Ash's skills and revealed himself to be Leon's younger brother. Afterwards, Hop, Goh and Ash sit together at Wyndon Stadium watching the game. When it was time for Ash's match against Steven, Hop got to meet Iris, who sat with the two boys. 
Later, he watches both semi-final matches with Goh, as Iris went back home to Unova to resume her Champion duties. However, when it was time for the finals between Ash and Leon, Goh had to leave for his Project Mew mission. Thankfully, Sonia arrived to watch the game in person and sat next to Hop. The two watched the entire match where Ash finally defeats Leon.
After the tournament was over, Hop later has a battle with Bea while Leon referees the match.
