Blurb
''After Baraz sets off to find the Prison Bottle for Hoopa, Meray remembers how the three of them grew up together. The young Baraz decides that Hoopa should use its rings to help people instead of playing tricks on them, but it doesn’t always go as planned. Hoopa tries to help a farmer who’s desperate for rain, but showers him with candy instead! When they return the candy to the baker Mira, she sets them to work at her shop—where Hoopa tries to help, but ends up breaking Mira’s precious statue. The kids do their best to reassemble it, but the end result is…rather colorful. Mira is angry at first, but then laughs at their creative repair job and offers them some donuts. Hoopa is immediately enthralled—and back in the present, as Meray and Hoopa make their way to Dahara City, they plan to eat more donuts while they wait for Baraz to return!''

Trivia

 * This special aired between XY078 and XY079 in Japan.
 * Like two previous specials Mewtwo — Prologue to Awakening and Diancie — Princess of the Diamond Domain, this episode leads directly into Hoopa and the Clash of Ages.
 * There is no To Be Continued screen at the end of the episode.
 * Music from Hoopa and the Clash of Ages is used in this special.

Dub edits

 * The scene in which Hoopa summons a statue that then "urinates" on Baraz is removed entirely.
 * Due to this edit, the dialogue in the said scene was altered as well. In the original, Baraz tells Hoopa that they'll need to fix the broken statue, prompting Hoopa to summon him the statue. When Baraz says that it's a wrong kind of ivory, Hoopa instead summons a, but Baraz protests that the ivory in it cannot be used, since it's inside the Phanpy. In the dub, Baraz instead asks Hoopa to bring them "something fancy", thus explaining Phanpy as Hoopa mishearing what Baraz said.
