44 parts Complete Two years marks the day when Gloria became champion, as well as the year she lost touch with her best friend Hop. In the time that passed, Bede and Marnie stepped up to fill Hop's vacancy while Gloria remained steadfast in her new job. Although, just when life settles for her, Hop suddenly reappears on the scene--determined more than ever to not be undermined by Bede.
As they spend time with Gloria, both boys realize their feelings lie beyond friendship, and naturally a competition is reignited between them. However, there are secrets hiding beneath Gloria's surface: an accident from six years ago, a mysterious group called Project: Open Dream, and an ancient tale about the mysterious "shooting star" child, Jirachi's Twin.
Hop and Bede will be forced to work side-by-side to uncover the truths without hurting Gloria more than she already is.
