Hop traveled to Wyndon with Victor/Gloria to take part in the Champion Cup. They ended up battling each other in the final battle of the semifinals, and Victor/Gloria won. Hop accepted his defeat gracefully and was glad for his friend. Afterwards, they were supposed to have a meal with Leon, but Hop grew suspicious when he did not show up. It turned out that he was being kept in a meeting with [[Rose|Chairman Rose]]. His aide, [[Oleana], went through great lengths to keep Hop and Victor/Gloria from crashing the meeting at Rose Tower. Hop and Victor/Gloria ended up fighting together against a number of Macro Cosmos employees as they made their way up Rose Tower. They ultimately retrieved Leon and managed to have dinner with him. The next day, Victor/Gloria's championship battle with Leon was put off when Rose awakened [[Eternatus]] and set off the new Darkest Day. Hop and Victor/Gloria decided to head back to the Slumbering Weald in search of the Legendary Pokémon, so that they could call upon their help for this crisis. There they discovered the altar containing the two Pokémon's items: the Rusted Sword and the Rusted Shield. Hop grabbed the Shield and was associated with Zamazenta in ''Sword''; or grabbed the Sword and was associated with Zacian in ''Shield''. Ultimately, the two Legendary Pokémon came to Hop and Victor/Gloria's aid when they battled Eternatus. Together, they successfully suppressed it. Hop then watched the Championship Match, which was won by Victor/Gloria. | Hop traveled to Wyndon with Victor/Gloria to take part in the Champion Cup.

− | Afterwards, Hop and Victor/Gloria returned to the Slumbering Weald and attempted to return the two relics to their resting place at the altar. However, [[Sordward and Shielbert]] intervened, because they claimed to be the true heirs of Galar. Hop and Victor/Gloria attempted to fend them off, but Hop lost to one of the brothers, and it resulted in that brother taking the relic that Hop had been using. With it and a number of stolen Wishing Stars, the two brothers began wreaking havoc and forcibly Dynamaxing Pokémon across Galar. Hop felt discouraged about himself due to his defeat, but he accompanied Victor/Gloria and [[Piers (Pokemon)|Piers]] in traveling to various Pokémon gyms and pacifying the Dynamaxed Pokémon. They eventually confronted the brothers at the Energy Plant, where one of them had summoned the Legendary Pokémon associated with Hop's relic and corrupted it through a bombardment of Galar particles. Victor/Gloria defeated the Pokémon, at which point it tried to attack Hop, but he saved by the other Legendary Pokémon. Hop then reclaimed the relic and pursued the associated Pokémon. This time, he was able to successfully calm it, and it chose to be caught by him. Afterwards, Hop challenged Victor/Gloria to one more battle. Although he was defeated again, Hop had newfound confidence and realized his new path: he wanted to become a someone who tried to help everyone, a Pokémon Professor. Sonia decided to help him with this and hired him as her assistant. He could then be found at the research lab, where he began his studies.
