Surge in Vermillion City. Wattson believed his gadgetry was not only hilarious, but kept trainers on their toes. One of Wattson's tricks was a robotic Raikou that ended up super-charging the electricity in Pikachu. As a result, Ash's Pikachu was able to completely wipe out Wattson's team on its own, using a series of super-powerful Thunderbolts. Losing so easily really depressed the usually cheerful Gym Leader. Uncharacteristicly glum, he wandered off to the local power plant and met a friendly Electrike. Wattson left everyone a note saying that he went away to think. Team Rocket stole all the Electric-type Pokémon from the power plant, and Wattson, Ash, Brock, Max, and May pursued them. Wattson used the Raikou robot to stop them in their tracks, while Pikachu and Electrike used Iron Tail and Bite to free the wild Pokémon. Ash tried to return the Dynamobadge, but Wattson told him to keep it. Electrike decided to stay with Wattson. Later, Wattson returned the favor, saving most of the group's Pokémon from another Team Rocket kidnapping attempt. The battle caused Electrike to evolve into Manectric. They were on their way back to Petalburg City, but Ash and his friends took time out for a battle or two. Ash's Torkoal fought against Wattson's Manectric, but failed to win.

Electrike → Manectric Magnemite Magneton Voltorb In the Games thumb|Wattson, as seen in Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald Wattson's title is "The cheerfully electrifying man!" The citizens of Mauville think of him as "eccentric", and one of his students affectionately referred to him as a "tough coot". His prefers to employ Electric-type Pokémon, and is a generally jovial man. Wattson founded Mauville; he once had a desire to convert Mauville in an expansion project, but he abandoned that plan. Instead, he installed switch-controlled dynamos in his Gym that create doors of electricity. In addition to the Dynamobadge, Wattson gives out TM 34, Shock Wave, in Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Pokémon Emerald. If you return to Mauville some time after beating him, Wattson will ask you to go to New Mauville on an errand for him. If the player completes the task, Wattson will give TM 24, Thunderbolt, as a sign of his appreciation. Pokémon This listing is for Wattson's Pokémon in the video games in which he has appeared.

His motto was "Be cheerful, no matter when or where". He doesn't care when or where the battles take place, every challenge to him qualifies as a gym battle. He doesn't even care about the result, and would often give out badges as long as his challengers do their best. Because of this attitude, Sapphire was very annoyed with him. When Sapphire first met the elderly gym leader, he and the Trick Master was trying to locate a rampaging Donphan with tricks developed by the latter. But they had mistaken Sapphire as the Donphan and trapped her and her Pokemon with the tricks. Sapphire inquired whether the turning door on the ground was also part of their traps. But it was actually the secret entrance to New Mauville, the secret underground city Wattson and Trick Master had been looking for a long time. Mauville had been having the problem of land shortage and overcrowding because of the growing number of children in the city. As both Wattson and Trick Master cherish children a lot, they hope they can find this secret city for them. Later, Sapphire saved Wattson from an overcharged generator and got the New Mauville, which is a large amusement park, into operation. Thankful for her help, Wattson gave her the Dynamobadge. After being informed about Team Magma and Team Aqua's schemes, he sided with Team Magma because of his city's problem of land shortage. When the two ancient Pokemon were awakened, he was assigned to fight against Kyogre, and later Sean, one of the Aqua Admins. He was knocked into the sea after being attacked from behind by a Shedinja, but Sapphire's Wailord saved his life. He was left on the Pokemon Association's aircraft as he was too injured to continue fighting. Pokémon This listing is for Wattson's Pokémon in the Pokémon Special manga.
