Season chronology |
This is a list of episodes of Pokémon: Black & White: Rival Destinies (advertised as Pokémon: BW: Rival Destinies), the fifteenth season of the Pokémon animated series, covering the continuing adventures of series protagonist Ash Ketchum as he continues traveling though Unova with Cilan and Iris to take on his remaining five gym badges. In Japan, this is still considered the Pocket Monsters: Best Wishes! (ポケットモンスター ベストウイッシュ Poketto Monsutā Besuto Uisshu?, literally "Pocket Monsters: Best Wish") series.
In Japan, starting with the episode airing on June 21, 2012, a new sub-season began under the title Pocket Monsters: Best Wishes! Season 2 (ポケットモンスター ベストウイッシュ シーズン2 Poketto Monsutā Besuto Uisshu Shīzun Tsū?). Beginning its premier run on June 21, 2012 (the week after Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 were released in Japan), its first 13 episodes comprise the final quarter of Rival Destinies. In these episodes, Ash and his friends travel over to the eastern side of Unova, where they begin a new set of adventures. They reunite with Ash's old friend Dawn. Sinnoh League Champion Cynthia houses them as they all prepare for the Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup, which is hosted by Unova League Champion Alder. They train for the upcoming Unova Pokémon League conference and meet the legendary Pokémon Meloetta. The Best Wishes! Season 2 episodes continue through the subsequent international season BW: Adventures in Unova.
