Wattson's Manectric: Difference between revisions

Wattson continued to play with the Electrike and when Electrike was about to perform its Thunder Wave attack, {{TRT}} interfered with their [[Team Rocket's mechas|Vacuum car]]. Wattson ran up to them and asked them what they were doing with the mecha. They responded by sucking up the Pokémon in the [[New Mauville|Power Plant]] including Electrike and Ash's Pikachu. When Team Rocket became distracted by the robot Raikou Wattson uses at his Gym, it gave Electrike the chance to break out of the cage with Pikachu's assistance. Electrike managed to do so with its Bite attack and reunited with Wattson. It battled with [[Jessie's Dustox]] and defeated it after it gave Pikachu problems. After Team Rocket got blasted off, Electrike decided that it wanted to stay with Wattson and Wattson added it to its team. Wattson then said his goodbyes to Ash and {{ashfr}}, promising to battle him again in the future.

Ash decided to challenge Wattson and his Manectric to a training match with his newly caught {{AP|Torkoal}} which Wattson gladly accepted. Later in the Gym, Wattson sent it out to battle Torkoal. Torkoal started things off with {{m|Overheat}} which fazed Manectric a bit. When Torkoal used the move again, Manectric took very little damage this time due to Overheat's effect of getting weaker. Torkoal switched to {{m|Flamethrower}} which made contact with Manectric but it shook off the attack. Manectric then started to use a combination of Charge and Thunder Wave while Torkoal countered with Overheat. Due to Overheat's effect, Thunder Wave got through and hit Torkoal, which made Manectric emerge victorious.

[[File:Wattson Electrike Adventures.png|thumb|left|120px|As an Electrike]]

Wattson's Manectric first appears as an Electrike in ''[[PS204|Plugging Past Electrike I]]'', where it was used to battle the children that challenged Wattson to a Gym battle. Together, with Wattson's two {{p|Magnemite}}, it easily defeated the children. After arriving in [[New Mauville]], Wattson becomes captured by the generator powering the area. Electrike, along with Magnemite, manages to escape and gets {{adv|Sapphire}} and the [[Trick Master|Robot King]] to help. During the battle with the generator, Electrike used its {{a|Lightningrod}} to draw in the generator's electricity, allowing Sapphire to attack and defeat it.

Having no Pokémon left to fight, Amber borrowed a {{p|Nincada}} from [[Shelly]] to battle with Wattson. Despite this, Manectric manages to easily defeat Nincada, until it begins evolving. Nincada evolves into {{p|Ninjask}}, and with its speed, Ninjask gained a powerful advantage over its opponent. To counter Ninjask's speed, Wattson had his Manectric pin its opponent to the ground and attacked itself with a suicidal {{m|Thunder}}, knocking both Pokémon out at the same time.
