The Kalos Region.
Route 111, the Nameless Valley to the north.
This had once been a place where Yveltal briefly roosted.
As a result, nothing but endless rock walls and stone pillars stretched as far as the eye could see. Not even Pokémon lived here.
This was the "auspicious burial site" Steven had found.
An auspicious burial site for giving Shadow Hoopa a proper send-off.
After Li Wei opened the Prison Bottle, dark clouds immediately gathered above the valley, creating an overwhelming sense of pressure.
Amid the fierce winds and black mist, Shadow Hoopa took shape.
With both hands in his pockets, Blue said in surprise, "I never thought this power would grow to this extent."
According to what Li Wei had said earlier about the full scenario Giratina had seen, what had originally been sealed away was merely most of Hoopa's power.

And now, that shadow had actually taken on the appearance of Hoopa Unbound.
Not only that, but this shadow was even larger than the real Hoopa.
As tall as a building, Shadow Hoopa seemed to blot out the sky, exerting tremendous pressure.

The Battle Legend of Mt. Silver;
The five-minute Champion...
The Sinnoh Champion and defending Master League Champion;
The strong and formidable former Hoenn Champion;
The Chief Investigator at the forefront of justice;

Now, that consciousness wanted to "usurp the throne"
