Pokémon: Black & White: Adventures in Unova is the sixteenth season of the exciting Pokémon animated series. It's also the third part of Pokémon the Series: Black & White. This season follows the adventures of Ash Ketchum and his loyal Pikachu as they continue their journey through the Unova region. They travel with their friends Cilan and Iris.

The show first aired in Japan from October 11, 2012, to April 18, 2013, on TV Tokyo. In the United States, it premiered on February 2, 2013, and finished on July 20, 2013, on Cartoon Network.

In this season, Ash and his friends head to Vertress City. Ash competes in the Unova League's Vertress Conference. He battles old rivals like Trip, Bianca, and Stephan, plus new ones like Cameron and Virgil. After the League, they decide to visit the White Ruins, a special place linked to the legendary Pokémon, Reshiram. Along the way, they meet a mysterious boy named N. They also face off against the sneaky Team Plasma. A detective named Looker from the International Police helps investigate Team Plasma. Even Team Rocket (Jessie, James, and Meowth) returns for more mischief!
