BW074: A Clubsplosion of Excitement!

is the 24th episode of Pokémon: BW Rival Destinies.
==Synopsis==
Trip and his Conkeldurr are battling Bianca and her Emboar to finish off the first round of the Clubsplosion Tournament! Emboar seems to be in quite a pickle as Conkeldurr pounds it with some serious attacks—until some encouraging words from Bianca spark some quick thinking on Emboar’s part, turning the tide in an unexpected way. And just like that, Trip is out of the tournament, and Bianca claims the last spot in the quarterfinals!
The quarterfinal round starts the next day with Cilan and Pansage up against Stephan and Sawk! Pansage is a tough competitor, but Sawk is extremely strong—and Burgundy is delighted when Pansage gets knocked out before Cilan gets the chance to launch into his traditional Evaluation Time (which she finds extremely annoying). Stephan and Sawk move on!
Next up, it’s Ash and Scraggy versus Betty and Simipour. Confident after beating her brother in the previous round, Betty quickly dismisses Scraggy as a “runt” with no power, but Scraggy quickly proves otherwise! Even though its Focus Blast still needs work, it manages to knock Simipour out, and Ash is on to the semi-finals!
Georgia’s Bisharp and Bianca’s Emboar are battling it out in the next match, and despite Georgia’s usual smugness, Emboar scores a quick win. Bianca joins Stephan and Ash in the top four, and there’s just one spot left...but unfortunately, it won’t belong to Iris, as the mysterious and powerful team of Montgomery and Throh quickly knock her Excadrill out of the tournament.
The next day’s battles are set: it’s Bianca versus Stephan and Ash versus Montgomery! Who will be the Clubsplosion champion?
==Episode plot==
Conkeldurr attacks Emboar with Stone Edge. However, Bianca believes in Emboar, who stopped the attack by collecting the stones. Cilan recognizes there is a bond between Bianca and Emboar. Emboar uses Fling, throwing the stones back. Conkeldurr dodges and reflects the attacks, though Emboar steals his pillars and throws them back at Conkeldurr via Fling, defeating it. Bianca is glad Emboar won, though Trip sees he still has a lot to learn and train to defeat Alder, calling Conkeldurr back. He spots Ash, then walks away. Don George admits there have been many exciting battles. The eight Trainers will fight tomorrow and wishes them rest.
Nurse Joy healed Conkeldurr and gives it to Trip. Ash comes and asks if he can have a battle with Conkeldurr, but Trip replies next time will be different and walks out. Georgia and Burgundy consider him being embarrassed for his recent loss. As Cilan admires Stephan's Sawk, he gets tackled by Bianca, who runs to them. Ash realizes they are all rivals, though Burgundy still wishes them defeat after being defeated by Iris. Later, Ash sends Scraggy, telling Scraggy his Focus Blast needs to be perfected. Stephan comes with Sawk, proposing they could train together. A blast is heard, so Ash and Stephan check it out, only to see Montgomery, who trains his Throh.
Ash invites Montgomery to train with them, but Montgomery replies he does not train with enemies and goes away with Throh. Next day, Don George and Freddy O'Martian start the second round of Clubsplosion. The screen displays the next battles, so Iris is against Montgomery, Ash vs. Betty, Bianca will fight Georgia and Cilan is matched with Stephan. First are Stephan's Sawk against Cilan's Pansage. Ash and Iris wish Cilan luck, but Burgundy yells, trying to mock Cilan. Pansage starts with Bullet Seed, though Sawk counters the move using Close Combat. Sawk comes to Pansage and hits him. Sawk uses Karate Chop, though Pansage bites his arm, negating the attack.
Cilan announces his evaluation, but Sawk slams his arm onto the ground, which hits Pansage. Sawk continues with Low Sweep. Pansage tries to jump, but is hit and slammed onto Cilan, being defeated. Ash admits Sawk is strong, while Burgundy is pleased Cilan did not have that "evaluation time". Cilan admits Stephan and Sawk had more determination and calls Pansage back, congratulating Stephan on the victory. Next are Betty and Simipour against Ash and Scraggy. Simipour starts with Aqua Tail, though Scraggy counters the attack using High Jump Kick. Simipour tries with Brick Break, though Scraggy counters that attack as well. Scraggy uses Focus Blast, but misses.
Simipour uses Acrobatics, hitting Scraggy, who leers it. Simipour uses Brick Break, though Scraggy uses Headbutt to stop the attack. With high Jump Kick, Scraggy defeats Simipour. Stephan sees Scraggy has improved, but is still not enough to improve accuracy. Cilan still thinks the victory boosted his confidence. Next are Georgia and Bianca, who use Bisharp and Emboar. Bisharp prepares her blades, though Georgia lets Bianca attack first. Emboar uses Flamethrower, hitting Bisharp and annoying Georgia, who was in a moment of thought. Emboar and Bisharp clash using Hammer Arm and Guillotine. Bisharp produces Metal Sound, affecting Emboar. Bisharp uses Iron Head, though her attack is negated and defeated by Emboar's Flamethrower.
Georgia calls Bisharp back, knowing they did not lose to a Dragon-type Pokémon. The last battle is Montgomery vs. Iris. Georgia yells, displeased Iris does not even use a Dragon-type Pokémon. Excadrill starts with Drill Run, though Throh stops him and uses Circle Throw, bashing Excadrill. Excadrill digs, though Throh uses Superpower, slamming to the ground and causing Excadrill to pop up. Using Seismic Toss, Throh defeats Excadrill. Iris rushes to Excadrill, thinking they need to train more and calls him back. Bianca thinks her Emboar will put Throh in place, while Burgundy thinks Iris will not become a Dragon Master with that performance. The final matches are Stephan vs. Bianca and Montgomery against Ash. Ash sees Montgomery and hopes Scraggy will be the one to defeat Throh.
