BW109: Cameron's Secret Weapon!

is the 10th episode of Pokémon: BW Adventures in Unova and Beyond.
==Synopsis==
We’re into the quarterfinals of the Unova League, and the first battle is between Ash and Cameron—who has just revealed Hydreigon as his “secret weapon”! Ash chooses Boldore to start off—a powerful Pokémon, indeed. But Hydreigon’s power is overwhelming, and soon Cameron has his first win of their six-on-six match.
Ash’s next choice is Oshawott. Bianca’s not sure that’s a good idea, but Cilan and Iris are sure Ash has a plan, and Oshawott quickly proves that its power is impressive despite its small stature! It’s not quite enough to overcome Hydreigon, however, and a final Dragon Rush gives Cameron a two-win lead. But when Ash chooses Pignite, things finally start to go his way. The tenacious Pignite refuses to give in even after getting knocked down multiple times, and a punishing Brick Break knocks Hydreigon out of the competition.
Cameron’s next Pokémon is Ferrothorn, which quickly proves to be a bad choice against a Fire-type Pokémon like Pignite, and the match is quickly tied at two wins each. Next up, Cameron picks Samurott, whose strength and skill—not to mention its type advantage—finally overcome Pignite’s tenacity.
Pignite is out, and Pikachu is up—and everyone knows an amazing battle is in store! Samurott manages to deflect Pikachu’s Electric-type attacks with some quick Razor Shell action, but a well-placed Iron Tail gets through, and Ash gets his third win to tie the match at three each.
Then Cameron sends out his Swanna, hoping for an aerial advantage—but Pikachu quickly puts a stop to that, as its Electric-type moves prove too powerful to overcome. With the tally 4–3 in Ash’s favor, it’s Riolu’s turn to shine for Cameron, as Ash calls Pikachu back to rest up for a bit and sends out Unfezant.
But it’ll take more than some fancy flying to take Riolu down! Its powerful Circle Throw and clever Copycat move quickly seal Unfezant’s fate, and Ash reveals his sixth and final Pokémon: Snivy! The two seem to be evenly matched as Snivy and Riolu battle back and forth. After a powerful Leaf Storm, Riolu seems to be down for the count...but then the tables turn as Riolu evolves into Lucario! Will Ash and Snivy be able to recover from this surprising turn of events?
==Episode plot==
The battle between Cameron and Ash officially begins. Cameron calls out his secret weapon: a Hydreigon! The sight of the legendary Pokémon surprises Ash and delights the audience, especially Iris. Ash calls out Boldore, which Cilan says is a good choice. Cameron starts the battle with Tri Attack. Boldore attempts to dodge, but is still hit. Hydreigon fires a Dragon Pulse which also scores a direct hit, doing a lot of damage. Stephan looks in amazement at Hydreigon's power. Boldore struggles to his feet and attacks with Rock Blast, which Hydreigon dodges. Boldore follows up with Rock Smash which manages to score a direct hit. Hydreigon counterattacks with Dragon Rush, which hits Boldore hard. Hydreigon then makes another hit with Tri-Attack. Ash calls for Flash Cannon, which Cameron counters with Dragon Pulse. The dragon-type move overpowers Flash Cannon and hits Boldore, knocking it out. 
Ash recalls Boldore and thanks it for its work. He tells Cameron he's impressed with his Hydreigon before calling out Oshawott, to Bianca's confusion. Stephan thinks Ash wants to use Oshawott to chip away at Hydreigon's stamina but Cilan and Iris know that Ash will do his utmost best to defeat Hydreigon. Ash proves their point by calling an Aqua Jet, which scores a direct hit. Oshawott follows up with Razor Shell, which Hydreigon dodges. Hydreigon then hits with Dragon Pulse, but Oshawott recovers quickly. Oshawott uses Razor Shell again which after a few misses, scores a hit. Cameron compliments Oshawott's power as Riolu looks in surprise. Oshawott attacks with Hydro Pump and scores another direct hit. Hydreigon attacks with Tri Attack and hits Oshawott. Oshawott gets up and, angered, blasts forward with Tackle, which slams into Hydreigon and does a considerable amount of damage. Oshawott attempts to follow up with Razor Shell, but Hydreigon counters with Double Hit which hits Oshawott before he can attack. Hydreigon follows up with Dragon Rush which hits hard and knocks Oshawott out leaving Ash down two Pokémon.
Virgil and Eevee nervously consider the fact that they could be facing Hydreigon if Ash loses. Ash recalls Oshawott and calls out Pignite. Pignite starts with Brick Break which scores a direct hit. Hydreigon thens hits Pignite with Dragon Pulse, but Pignite recovers quickly and uses Flamethrower, which grazes Hydreigon. Hydreigon attacks with Tri Attack which Pignite unsuccessfully dodges. Pignite then takes a hard hit from Dragon Rush. Pignite manages to get up and uses Brick Break, scoring a hit. Ash calls a Flame Charge, which scores another hit, doing a lot of damage to Hydreigon. Hydreigon attempts to hit with Double Hit but Pignite dodges and, with Hydreigon on the ground, uses Fire Pledge. Hydreigon flies above the Fire Pledge and dodges it, but the distraction allows Pignite to score a powerful hit with Flamethrower. Ash tells Pignite to finish it with Brick Break, which Cameron tries to counter with Double Hit. However, Pignite dodges the Double Hit and lands his move on Hydreigon, finally knocking it out.
Cameron recalls Hydreigon and briefly thinks about which Pokémon he wants next. He then calls out Ferrothorn. Ferrothorn uses Metal Claw, which Pignite easily dodges. Ferrothorn then uses Pin Missile, which manages to hit. Pignite then lands a super-effective hit with Flamethrower. Ferrothorn uses Mirror Shot, but Pignite dodges and uses Flame Charge, which hits and knocks out Ferrothorn.
Cameron then calls out Samurott, getting the type advantage over Pignite. Pignite uses Flamethrower, which is easily overpowered by Hydro Cannon. Pignite then tries Brick Break, which Samurott dodges. Samurott thens uses Aqua Jet and hits Pignite, knocking it out.
Ash recalls Pignite and orders Pikachu to the field. Cameron is excited to battle Pikachu. Pikachu uses Thunderbolt, but Samurott surprises everyone by blocking it with Razor Shell. Pikachu then uses Quick Attack, which, again, Samurott blocks with Razor Shell. Samurott then hits with a powerful Hydro Cannon. Samurott then charges forward with Megahorn, which Pikachu manages to dodge. Pikachu uses Quick Attack again. Samurott attempts to block with Razor Shell, but this time Pikachu dodges and hits Samurott right in the face. Pikachu then follows up with an Iron Tail, which also hits and does serious damage to Samurott. Pikachu uses Electro Ball, which Samurott manages to block with Razor Shell. The distraction, however, allows Pikachu to land another Iron Tail, which knocks out Samurott.
Cameron recalls Samurott and calls out a Swanna, surprising Iris, as it has a major disadvantage as it is a Flying/Water type. Cilan points out that it has an aerial advantage over Pikachu. Swanna flies up high and attacks with Pluck, which Pikachu easily dodges. Pikachu uses Quick Attack, which Swanna dodges. Swanna uses Wing Attack and successfully hits Pikachu doing some damage. Swanna uses Bubble Beam, which Pikachu dodges. Swanna then uses Wing Attack again, which Pikachu dodges. Pikachu then hits Swanna with an Electro Ball and knocks it out.
Cameron recalls Swanna and calls Riolu to the field telling him since he's the last Pokémon left, it's all up to him. Ash asks him if he has another Pokémon beside Riolu left, to which a horrified Cameron responds that he thought a Full Battle was 5 on 5, not 6 on 6. This means Riolu is Cameron's last Pokémon, while Ash still has three. But Cameron decides to brush it off and use Riolu for the rest of the battle.
Ash recalls tells Pikachu to take a break and replaces him with Unfezant. Cameron asks why and Ash responds that more that three battles would tire Pikachu out. Unfezant uses Gust and Quick Attack, both of which Riolu easily dodges. Riolu lands on Unfezant's back and hits with a powerful Force Palm. Unfezant shakes off Riolu and uses Air Cutter, which Riolu dodges. Riolu then uses Copycat and hit Unfezant with Air Cutter. Riolu then connects with a Vacuum Wave. Unfezant tries to hit with Aerial Ace, but Riolu ducks and uses Circle Throw, sending Unfezant into the wall and knocking her out.
Ash recalls Unfezant and calls out Snivy. Riolu attacks with Vacuum Wave, which Snivy easily dodges. Snivy counterattacks with Leaf Blade and hits Riolu right on the head. Riolu uses Copycat and hits Snivy with Leaf Blade as well. Riolu uses Vacuum Wave again, which Snivy dodges again. Riolu then grabs an airborne Snivy and uses Force Palm on her. Riolu then uses Circle Throw and sends Snivy into the wall. Snivy gets to her feet and is furious. Snivy attacks with Leaf Storm, which Riolu dodges. However, the distraction allows Snivy to grab Riolu with Vine Whip and begins slamming it into the field, doing a notable amount of damage. Riolu uses Vacuum Wave to both escape and hit Snivy. Riolu uses another Vacuum Wave, which this time Snivy dodges with Vine Whip. Snivy then launches a devastating Leaf Storm, sending Riolu flying and doing major damage.
Riolu appears to be finished, but then begins to glow. A surprised audience realizes what's happening. Riolu has started to evolve! Riolu becomes Lucario and lets out a battle cry, while Snivy and Ash stare in utter shock at the sight.
