==Plot==
Ash and his friends finally arrive in Vertress City and they are all super excited as Ash states he's going to beat everyone and win the Unova league. After everyone arrives at the main arena they meet up with [[Stephan]], finally pronouncing his name correctly, much to his surprise and excitement, although Ash and Iris both state they've been saying his name correctly all along. Just then [[Bianca]] shows up, once again knocking Ash into a fountain when she runs into him. While catching up with Stephan and Bianca, Ash sees a helicopter flying overhead with [[Virgil]], Davy and Virgil's Eevee. Ash, Iris, and Cilan run over to Virgil excitedly and they explain to Stephan and Bianca that Virgil is one of the agents in a Pokémon rescue squad and that he works with the evolved forms of Eevee. After Ash and his friends register for the league they come across [[Trip]] who's a lot nicer than before which both Cilan and Iris notice. Afterwards, Ash and his friends start going to their hotel but stop when they see a tent which belongs to Cameron and Riolu. Cameron reveals that he'd been camping out for three entire days but he hadn't registered. Ash panics because just after Cameron reveals this the registration period closes. Ash grabs Cameron and drags him to registration where they both beg Nurse Joy to let Cameron enter. Nurse Joy excepted and Cameron registers himself for the league. Outside Cameron reveals he brought a secret weapon with him that he's going to use when he competes which really excites Ash.

After registration's done Ash and his friends head back to their hotel where they eat (Ash and Stephan both have lots of food on their plates), Stephan and Cameron relax in the sauna (or at least Stephan does, on the other hand, Cameron's extremely uncomfortable), and Ash receives {{TP|Ash|Palpitoad}} from Professor Juniper.

Later on that night, Iris and Cilan are both fast asleep, but Ash is too excited he can't sleep, and Pikachu also wakes up due to Ash not being able to sleep. Ash and Pikachu get out of bed and look out the window which has a perfect view of the stadium. Just then Ash has flashbacks from ''[[BW006|Dreams by the Yard Full]]'' when he battled against Cilan, Chili, and Cress, ''[[BW016|Rematch at the Nacrene Gym]]'' when he had his rematch against Lenora, ''[[BW023|Battling For the Love of Bug-Types]]'' when he battled against Burgh, ''[[BW050|Dazzling the Nimbasa Gym]]'' when he battled against Elesa, ''[[BW061|Battling the King of the Mines]]'' when he battled against Clay, ''[[BW068|An Amazing Aerial Battle]]'' when he battled against Skyla, ''[[BW079|Caution: Icy Battle Conditions]]'' when he battled against Brycen, and finally ''[[BW084|Rocking the Virbank Gym Part 2]]'' when he battled against Roxie. The flashbacks end and Ash says he's going to win the Unova League for all the Gym Leaders that helped him get there. Iris wakes up and tells Ash to go to sleep because he needs his rest so he climbs back into bed and goes to sleep.

The next morning all the Trainers competing in the league are at the stadium as well as a giant crowd of fans ready to witness the action. [[Freddy O'Martian]] makes a big entrance when he skydives from a helicopter, [[Officer Jenny]] lights the torch, and a flock of {{p|Pidove}} fly overhead as the Unova League gets underway. Stephan and Bianca find their match-ups for the qualifying rounds and are determined to win. Ash looks to see who he's matched with, and he and Pikachu are both shocked when they find out Ash is facing off against Trip right off the bat. The first match on the green field is Stephan and his Zebstrika battling against another Trainer and his Braviary. Stephan and Zebstrika win the match with an extremely powerful {{m|Giga Impact}}. The next battle is Bianca and Emboar against a Trainer and his Watchog. The next battle shown is Virgil and Vaporeon against another Trainer and his Crustle. Vaporeon's {{m|Hydro Pump}} and Crustle's {{m|Rock Wrecker}} collide with one another creating a beautiful rainbow. Virgil then instructs Vaporeon to use {{m|Aurora Beam}} which shocks the Trainer and his Crustle and also knocks Crustle out. The next match shown is Cameron and his Ferrothorn against a Trainer and his Elektross. Ferrothorn got hit twice with {{m|Crush Claw}} but Ferrothorn and Cameron still managed to push on and continue battling. The final match shown is Ash and Trip on the green field. Trip chooses his powerful and speedy Serperior which worries Iris and Cilan. Ash chooses Pikachu because he'd already planned to start off by using him first. Iris begins to worry even more because Electric types aren't that effective against Grass types. Ash tells Trip Pikachu's just as fast as Serperior and attempts to demonstrate by having Pikachu use {{m|Quick Attack}} on Serperior, but just before the Quick Attack hits Serperior, he dodges it. Ash then has Pikachu use {{m|Iron Tail}} which Serperior dodges yet again with his incredible speed. Ash then commands Pikachu to use {{m|Electro Ball}} which Serperior dodges yet again. Trip then commands Serperior to use {{m|Dragon Tail}} on Pikachu. Ash tells Pikachu to dodge which he tries to do, but Serperior's just to fast and Pikachu can't keep up with him.
