Ash, Pikachu, and their
friends continue to explore the Unova region in Pokémon: BW Rival Destinies, which has just arrived on Pokémon TV. In this 15th season of Pokémon the Series, Ash finds himself up against the ultimate
battle challenge: Alder, the Champion of Unova! His friends also take on their
own trials, and of course, they encounter all sorts of incredible Pokémon
they’ve never seen before—including some mysterious Legendary Pokémon. Before
jumping into the full season, read up on these important events that our heroes
will face, and then sit back and enjoy the show!
Pokémon:
BW Rival Destinies hardly has a
chance to begin before Ash, Iris, and Cilan encounter three Legendary
Pokémon. Our heroes head to the Driftveil City Gym so Ash can challenge Gym
Leader Clay to a battle. Before accepting the challenge, though, Clay sends Ash
and friends on an errand to collect some Revival Herbs (“Stopping
the Rage of Legends! Part 1”). As they search for the elusive herbs, they meet
up with a guide named Lewis and his Gothorita, and all of them become wrapped
up in a conflict between the Legendary Pokémon Tornadus and Thundurus.
According to legend, only the powerful Landorus can calm these feuding Pokémon.
With Lewis and Gothorita’s help, Landorus appears, but Team Rocket is also on
the scene to cause their patented brand of trouble (“Stopping
the Rage of Legends! Part 2”). Discover their villainous plot in this
two-part adventure.
Throughout the previous season, Ash
and friends had multiple encounters with a wild Sandile who sported a pair of
sunglasses. This mischievous Pokémon would appear from time to time in hopes of
defeating Pikachu in battle. Eventually, it evolved into Krokorok during a
match. In this season, after exploring a site where an ancient hero supposedly met
the Legendary Pokémon Zekrom, our heroes once again come face-to-face with the
sunglasses-wearing Pokémon (“Explorers
of the Hero’s Ruin!”). It’s looking for a rematch with Pikachu, but the
conflict is set aside when Ash and friends meet a young boy named Mick who
needs help dealing with a bully (“Battling
the Bully!”). But once Mick’s troubles are over, how will Pikachu and
Krokorok resolve their differences?
An exciting adventure begins when
Ash and crew arrive at the Pokémon Battle Club in Ambiga Town for the
Clubsplosion Tournament (“The
Clubsplosion Begins!”). Some of our heroes’ rivals have also shown up to
compete in this thrilling competition. Each Trainer is allowed to use only one
Pokémon in the tournament, so Ash chooses Scraggy, Cilan chooses Pansage, and
Iris chooses Excadrill. The three work their way up through the ranks, and Ash takes
some time to do a little extra training with his rival Stephan (“Search
for the Clubultimate!”). Which of our heroes progresses the furthest in the
tournament? Does one of them come out on top? All will be revealed during the
competition’s final matches (“Commanding
the Clubsplosion Crown!”).
It turns out the Clubsplosion
Tournament was just a warm-up for the Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup,
which takes place toward the end of Pokémon:
BW Rival Destinies. Ash, Iris, and
Cilan (as well as Ash’s former traveling companion Dawn) enter the fierce
competition, and it’s not long before Iris and her new Dragonite face off
against rival Georgia and her Beartic (“Jostling
for the Junior Cup!”). As the Trainers make their way through the
competition, the battles become even more intense, with Ash’s rival Trip
proving to be a formidable foe. The eventual winner of the tournament gets the
chance to battle Alder, the Champion of the Unova region (“Goodbye,
Junior Cup—Hello, Adventure!”).
Shortly before the Pokémon World
Tournament Junior Cup, Ash and his friends come to the aid of the Mythical
Pokémon Meloetta, who was injured while escaping from Team Rocket (“All
for the Love of Meloetta!”). The grateful Pokémon has secretly been
following Ash as he continues his travels (“Piplup,
Pansage, and the Meeting of the Times!”). Unfortunately, Team Rocket is hot
on Ash’s trail, and they’re hoping to capture Meloetta for the Boss (“Expedition
to Onix Island!”). After the Junior Cup, the Mythical Pokémon helps calm
down some distraught Pokémon, then entertains our heroes with a song (“Unrest at the Nursery!”). But with Meloetta out in the open, Team
Rocket makes their big push to capture it, leading to an adventure in an
Undersea Temple, the return of some Legendary Pokémon, and a plot that
threatens the entire Unova region (“Unova’s Survival Crisis!”)!
