Leave the god-like Pokemon alone. Let them rest, or do their own thing. They don't need to be controlled by humans.
they were too powerful to be controlled by humans
It was the mantra that worked for May - until it didn't.
Being the champion of Hoenn meant she was frequently called to quell Pokemon related problems. A Galarian Linoone fighting with the local breed, or an irate Salamence that would only be quelled with a battle so Nurse Joy could treat its injuries.
But Hoopa was not a Pokemon that would be quelled with a good battle, or a kind touch. No, Hoops needed a stern hand, and someone to tame it.
But May wasn't that person. Hoopa knew it, and that's how, despite her best efforts to appease it, it instead sucked her through one of its hoops, and deposited her in the land of Hisui.
Now, she's on a quest to find the trickster Pokemon and return home.
