'''Morrison''' (Japanese: '''マサムネ''' ''Masamune'') is a [[Pokémon Trainer]]. He dresses in traditional Japanese attire.

 

After arguing on who is better, Morrison accepted Ash's decision on having a battle. Morrison sent out his {{TP|Morrison|Beldum|Metang}} against [[Ash's Pikachu]]. Despite Beldum using Take Down continuously, the battle ended in a draw. He ran off after finding out that Ash had all of the Hoenn [[Badge]]s already. He met up with Ash near a Pokémon Center and they had a race to see who could get there first, which ended in a draw. Morrison then challenged Ash to various contests such as a food eating contest.

Morrison reappeared in the [[Ever Grande Conference]] arc. In ''[[AG126|Saved By The Beldum]]'', he announced that he won his final Badge. Seeing Ash's full team, Morrison revealed his whole team including Beldum. He declared himself as a rival to Ash for the tournament. During the preliminaries, Morrison's first opponent was {{an|Jump}}. The battle began with an overwhelming start as Beldum's Take Down was continuously blocked by {{m|Protect}}. Since Beldum can only use Take Down, Morrison was at a disadvantage. As Morrison was about to be eliminated, Beldum started to [[Evolution|evolve]] into a Metang. Morrison defeated his opponent by having Metang use {{m|Confusion}} to stop Electabuzz and used Take Down to finish it off.

[[AG129|Two episodes later]], Morrison defeated a Trainer with a {{p|Machoke}} and found out that he had to battle Ash as his next opponent, something that both of them did not expect. This saddened Morrison as he was not yet ready to battle Ash. During their battle, Morrison quickly lost two of his Pokémon to {{AP|Corphish}} as he was feeling upset. He sent out {{p|Swampert}} as his third Pokémon and tied with Corphish. Their battle continued in ''[[AG130|Choose It or Lose It!]]'', where Morrison was finally giving his all. His {{p|Steelix}} knocked out two of his Pokémon before losing to {{AP|Grovyle}}. When both sides were down to one Pokémon, he was left with Metang while Ash was left with {{AP|Glalie}}. After a tough battle, Glalie was victorious despite the type-disadvantage. Morrison stayed around and left after the [[Pokémon League#Championship competitions|League Competition]] was over.

Morrison has a very spirited personality and he likes to challenge other people to almost everything. Due to this, he usually challenges Ash to various events such as Pokémon battles, racing each other, or even a food eating contest. His personality seems to mirror Ash's during the [[Indigo Conference]]; frequently showing signs of immaturity and overconfidence. Though when faced with tough situations, such as having to battle someone whom he considers a good friend, he doesn't always know what to do and will become depressed. This is seen after Morrison learned Ash would be his next opponent in the Ever Grande Conference. It also shows that he doesn't hold winning to a higher degree of importance over friendship.

This listing is of Morrison's known {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}:

|desc={{p|Metang}} is Morrison's main Pokémon. It appeared for the first time as a {{p|Beldum}} in ''[[AG118|Less is Morrison]]'', where Morrison used it in a battle against [[Ash's Pikachu]], and tied with it. Later in the episode, Morrison used Beldum along with {{p|Pikachu}} to send {{TRT}} blasting off.

 

Morrison later used Beldum during the [[Hoenn League]]. He used it to battle against {{an|Jump}}'s {{p|Electabuzz}}. The fact that Beldum only knew {{m|Take Down}}, almost caused Morrison to lose. However, in the middle of the battle, Beldum [[Evolution|evolved]] into Metang and defeated Electabuzz with its newly gained {{t|Psychic}} powers.

 

Morrison later used Metang in his battle against Ash, sending it as his last Pokémon to battle against [[Ash's Glalie]]. Despite the type advantage, {{p|Glalie}} was finally able to defeat Metang with a spinning {{m|Headbutt}}, winning the match for Ash.}}

|desc=Morrison's {{p|Girafarig}} was seen along with Morrison's other Pokémon during their introduction, but its battle skills are not so well known, as it was only briefly seen during Morrison's battle with Ash. As Morrison was unwilling to battle against Ash, he wasn't seen giving Girafarig so much commands to attack, and it was quickly defeated by [[Ash's Corphish]]'s {{m|Crabhammer}}.

Girafarig's known moves are {{m|Light Screen}}, {{m|Tackle}} and {{m|Iron Tail}}.}}

Later Morrison sent Growlithe out in his battle with Ash to face Ash's {{p|Corphish}}. Being unwilling to battle with his friend, Morrison just kept Growlithe dodging attacks, but it was quickly knocked out by a Crabhammer.

Growlithe's known moves are {{m|Take Down}}, {{m|Flamethrower}} and {{m|Agility}}.}}

<!--|vajp=-->

|desc=Morrison's {{p|Swampert}} was seen along with other of Morrison's Pokémon as he showed his team for Ash and the others. He later used Swampert in his battle against Ash, sending it against Ash's Corphish. Both Pokémon launched their attacks simultaneously, and hit each other at the same time, and they were both knocked out.

|desc=Morrison's {{p|Steelix}} was seen for the first time when Morrison introduced his Pokémon for Ash and his friends. In his battle against Ash, Morrison first sent his Steelix out against [[Ash's Pikachu]], which the Iron Snake Pokémon easily defeated. Next Ash called out {{AP|Torkoal}}, but despite having a type advantage, the Coal Pokémon was finally knocked out. Ash's next Pokémon was {{AP|Grovyle}}, which was too fast for Steelix and finally knocked it out with {{m|Leaf Blade}}.

Steelix's known moves are {{m|DragonBreath}}, {{m|Iron Tail}} and {{m|Dig}}.}}

|desc=Morrison's {{p|Gligar}} appeared for the first time when Morrison showed his Pokémon team for Ash and {{ashfr}}. He used it in the next episode in his Double Battle against Gavin along with his Growlithe. In the battle, Gligar took Gavin's {{p|Machamp}} as its main target and was finally able to finish it. It then battled against Gavin's Marowak and won against it as well.

Later Morrison used Gligar in his battle against Ash. It defeated [[Ash's Grovyle]] and tied with [[Ash's Swellow]].

Gligar's known moves are {{m|Guillotine}}, {{m|Steel Wing}}, {{m|Iron Tail}} and {{m|Hidden Power}}.}}
