'''Cameron''' (Japanese: '''コテツ''' ''Kotetsu'') is a recurring character in the [[Pokémon anime]] who first appeared in ''[[BW093|Goodbye, Junior Cup - Hello Adventure!]]'' and a rival of [[Ash Ketchum]].

Cameron first appeared as {{Ash}}, {{an|Iris}}, {{an|Cilan}}, and {{an|Dawn}} were leaving the [[Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup]] with his {{TP|Cameron|Riolu}}. He had meant to compete, but arrived too late.

He later appeared as the group was seeing Dawn off. He announced he was going to take part in the [[Unova League]], but he was missing his eighth [[Badge]] because he thought that only seven Badges were required to enter. He also mistakenly thought the League was going to be in [[Ecruteak City]] in [[Johto]].

 

He reappeared in ''[[BW103|Curtain Up, Unova League!]]''. He had traveled to [[Vertress City]] to compete in the [[Vertress Conference]] and had set up his tent close to the hotel for the competitors, to make sure he wouldn't be too late to sign in. When Ash, {{ashfr}} and {{an|Bianca}}, [[Stephan]] and [[Virgil]] walked past his tent and met up with him, he heard from the others he was almost too late to sign in. Ash hurried with him to the registration counter and was just in time. In the first round he battled with his Ferrothorn against [[Kendrick]] and his {{p|Eelektross}}. The battle ended in ''[[BW104|Mission: Defeat Your Rival!]]'', and he won, allowing him to move on to the next round.

In ''[[BW106|Strong Strategy Steals the Show!]]'', it was revealed he would battle Ash in the quarter-finals. The battle started at the end of the episode and was continued in ''[[BW107|Cameron's Secret Weapon!]]''. Despite accidentally handicapping himself by bringing five Pokémon instead of six (having mistakenly thought that a "full battle" was five-on-five), Cameron had a good start, with his {{p|Hydreigon}} taking out two of Ash's Pokémon. However, Ash used his {{AP|Pignite}} to defeat Hydreigon as well as Ferrothorn, eventually Ash defeated all of Cameron's Pokémon except Riolu. At the end of the episode, while battling [[Ash's Snivy]], Cameron's Riolu [[evolution|evolved]] into a {{TP|Cameron|Lucario}}. The battle continued in ''[[BW108|A Unova League Evolution]]'', where Lucario managed to first defeat Snivy, and later also {{AP|Pikachu}}, eliminating Ash from the Conference. In the next round, Cameron battled against Virgil but lost, placing him on the top four. Later, after the closing ceremonies, Cameron bid farewell to Ash and {{ashfr}} before going on his own way.

Cameron's mistakes with timing pale in comparison to his mistakes with numbers though. He originally thought that the number of Badges needed to qualify for the League was seven, and if Ash had not told him otherwise, he would likely have not been able to participate. Later, during the League Conference, he mistakenly thought that and the number of Pokémon used in a [[Full Battle]] was five, and so he only brought five Pokémon with him in the Ventress Conference. Due to this misunderstanding, he had to face {{Ash}} in a full battle one Pokémon short, but he emerged victorious despite it. He was shown to have good battling skills at other times too, such as during his battle with [[Marlon]] which won him the {{badge|Wave}}.
