==Episode plot==

The heroes travel to Humilau City, where Cameron hopes to win his final badge and enter the League with Ash. [[Iris (anime)|Iris]], however, considers them both kids with similar attitudes. Suddenly, [[Cilan (anime)|Cilan]] and Iris notice they are gone. They come to the crossroad and realize they took a wrong turn. As Ash and Cameron travel, Meloetta appears. Ash explains Meloetta is a Pokémon traveling with him. They notice Cilan and Iris are not with them. Ash looks around, but nearly falls down a cliff. He hangs onto a plant and is pulled up by Cameron. Ash thinks they are the ones being lost, but Cameron assures him he has a map. However, he pulls out a table cloth, displeasing everyone. They are back on the road, but argue which way they should go to. Rain pours down, so they all run into a cave.
  +
  +
Ash, Cameron and the Pokémon get hungry, so Ash and Cameron search through their bags, but realize they forgot to put their lunch. Meloetta disappears and comes back with an apple. Ash thanks her and goes with Cameron to find more fruit. After collecting the fruit and eating it, Ash and Cameron return to the cave and have a break. Cameron asks Ash what does he want to become and is told he wants to be a Pokémon Master. Cameron replies he wants to be the Pokémon Champion, so they both vouch for each other to pursue their dreams. After some sleep, they are woken up by Meloetta, as the rain stopped. Ash sees it is still dark, so Cameron pulls out a compass to see which way is the north. However, the needle spins around, so Cameron thinks the compass is confused, displeasing everyone.
  +
  +
As they walk, Cameron smells salt water and goes in a direction. However, he sees it is only a grass field. Ash and Cameron stargaze and see many constellations, so Cameron thinks he knows of a path to Humilau City. They walk a bit, but Cameron falls down a cliff and hangs on a plant. Ash tries to pull him up, but Cameron replies he will fall down as well. With help of Riolu and Pikachu, Ash manages to pull Cameron up. Soon, the sun rises and Ash and Cameron see the ocean, then run towards Humilau City. As they try to search the gym, a huge Wailord appears, with a man on it. Iris and Cilan arrived to Humilau City, thinking Ash and Cameron would be here by now. Suddenly, they see Ash and Cameron with the man riding a Wailord. Ash and Cameron apologize for being late, while the man is Marlon, Humilau City's Gym Leader.
  +
  +
Not long after, Cameron is with Marlon on the battlefield for the Gym Battle. Cameron goes to send Riolu, but sees it is with the heroes and panics around. Iris thinks if Cameron would win this, it would be by luck. Cameron thinks a bit and has an idea, so Ash wishes him luck. Marlon sends Jellicent and Cameron Ferrothorn, making Iris and Cilan doubt Cameron, for Ferrothorn can barely stand on the pod on the ocean. Ferrothorn uses Pin Missile, but Jellicent dives and retaliates using Shadow Ball. Ferrothorn dodges and retaliates using Thunderbolt, which defeats Jellicent, but envelops Ferrothorn in a dark aura. Marlon calls Jellicent back and sends Mantine. Ferrothorn uses Thunderbolt, but is unable to.
  +
  +
Marlon explains Jellicent's Cursed Body disabled Ferrothorn's Thunderbolt. Cilan explains all Gym Leaders have a strategy to cover weaknesses, but Iris wonders how will Cameron win this one. Ferrothorn goes to use Pin Missile, but is stopped by Mantine's Wing Attack, followed with Bullet Seed. Mantine uses Psybeam, defeating Ferrothorn. Cameron is uncertain what to do, but Ash yells if he gives up, he cannot become the Pokémon Champion. Cameron thinks a bit and has an idea, as he sends Samurott. Mantine uses Bullet Seed, but Samurott dives to dodge, so Mantine dives in as well. Mantine repeats the attack, though Samurott evades and uses Hydro Cannon, which hits Mantine. Using Aqua Jet, Samurott hits Mantine, pushing it out of the water.
  +
  +
Mantine uses Bullet Seed, though Samurott blocks it using Razor Shell. Mantine uses Wing Attack, though is defeated by Samurott's Razor Shell. Cameron wins and thanks Samurott for victory, while Marlon calls Mantine back. Marlon admits Cameron won the battle as if he owns the battle field, giving him the Wave Badge. Ash congratulates Cameron for this battle, who is told he can enter the Unova League. Cameron bids them farewell, as the heroes continue in an other direction.

The Road to Humilau! (Japanese: セイガイハジム戦!マンタインVSダイケンキ!!, HepburnHumilau Gym Battle! Mantine VS Samurott!!) is the 46th episode of Pokémon: BW Rival Destinies.

Synopsis

Our heroes’ new acquaintance Cameron is off to the Humilau Gym to win his eighth Gym badge, and Ash, Cilan, and Iris have decided to tag along! On the way, Ash and Cameron discover they have a lot in common and start chatting away, so when they take a wrong turn and get separated from Iris and Cilan, they don’t notice until their friends are well out of sight. To make matters worse, it starts to rain—hard! The boys seek shelter in a cave, and after Meloetta finds them some fruit for dinner, they decide to take a nap.

Meloetta wakes them when the rain stops, and after some false starts, Cameron follows his nose to the ocean to find Humilau City. They’re not quite sure where the Gym is, though—at least until Gym Leader Marlon surfaces in front of them, riding his enormous Wailord! Marlon gives them a lift to his unusual Gym, built right into the water, where they reunite with Iris and Cilan.

It’s time for Cameron’s Gym battle! His Ferrothorn quickly defeats Marlon’s Jellicent with a supereffective Thunderbolt, but something seems strange—and when Cameron tries to use Thunderbolt against Marlon’s Mantine, he discovers what happened: Jellicent’s Ability, Cursed Body, disabled the move! Without Thunderbolt, Ferrothorn loses in short order, and Cameron decides he needs a Pokémon better suited to the Gym’s aquatic battlefield. He sends out his Samurott, and the battle moves underwater. The spectators can’t see what’s going on below the surface as the two Pokémon trade attacks. But when they come up again, it’s clear Samurott has managed to get the upper hand. It knocks Mantine out with a powerful double Razor Shell, and Cameron wins the Wave Badge!

With eight Gym badges each, Ash and Cameron are both ready to enter the Unova League. They part ways for now, but promise to see each other there, as the journey continues![1]

Episode plot

The heroes travel to Humilau City, where Cameron hopes to win his final badge and enter the League with Ash. Iris, however, considers them both kids with similar attitudes. Suddenly, Cilan and Iris notice they are gone. They come to the crossroad and realize they took a wrong turn. As Ash and Cameron travel, Meloetta appears. Ash explains Meloetta is a Pokémon traveling with him. They notice Cilan and Iris are not with them. Ash looks around, but nearly falls down a cliff. He hangs onto a plant and is pulled up by Cameron. Ash thinks they are the ones being lost, but Cameron assures him he has a map. However, he pulls out a table cloth, displeasing everyone.
