==In the games==

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." He prefers to employ Electric-type Pokémon, and is a generally jovial man.

In addition to the Dynamo Badge, Wattson gives out {{TM|34|Shock Wave}}, in {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}. In {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, he gives out {{TM|72|Volt Switch}}

===={{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}====

* Before battle

:''"I've given up on my plans to convert the city, I have. And so, I put my time into making door traps in my <sc>Gym</sc>. Oh? Now, what are you doing here? What's that? You say you've gotten past all my rigged doors? Wahahahah! Now, that is amusing! Then, I, <sc>Wattson</sc>, the <sc>Leader</sc> of <sc>Mauville Gym</sc>, shall electrify you!"''

:''"I swell with optimism, seeing a promising young <sc>Trainer</sc> like you!"''{{sup/3|E}}

* Before New Mauville sidequest

:''"Don't you worry about it. It won't be a challenge to you. The entrance to <sc>New Mauville</sc> is just a short <sc>Surf</sc> away from <sc>Route</sc> 110. That's it, then! You have my trust, wahahaha!"''

* After finishing New Mauville sidequest

:''"Wahahahaha! It pleases me to no end to see the young step up and take charge!"''

* Before battle

:''"Ah-ha! Here at last! I know what you want. You want to battle my <sc>Pokémon</sc>! Wahahahaha! I'll make sparks fly from you! Don't say I didn't warn you!"''

===={{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}====

* Before battle (first round)

:''"You look like you have a lot of zip! That's a good thing. Wahahahaha!"''

====[[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]]====

*Before battle

*Being defeated

:''"{{m|Volt Switch}} is a move where your Pokémon attacks the opponent and then rushes back to switch places with a party Pokémon in waiting! I swell with optimism, seeing a promising young Trainer like you!"''

*In front of Square Tower

:''"Oh, <{{player}}>, eh? You got here just in time to give me a hand and take a look at this. This is Square Tower, an attraction here in Mauville City. It's not just for decoration, though. It has a purpose. It's monitoring how things are going in a place near here called New Mauville. To put it simply, it's a watchtower. The light's shining brightly now, see? It's warning us that something out of the ordinary may be going on in New Mauville. I've got something to ask of you, <player>. If we're going to keep standing around talking, could I get you to come to my place? I've got an apartment on the second floor at Mauville Hills. I'll let the security guy know, so how about you grab the elevator on the first floor? I sure am sorry to put you out like this, <player>, but please do come."''

:''"All righty then, I'm counting on you for that investigation of New Mauville! You can {{m|Surf}} from {{rt|110|Hoenn}} to get to New Mauville."''

:''"Oh, <player>! Sorry to make you come all this way. You went out to New Mauville, right? The results of your investigation have been sent here to my computer, too. The most important thing is that there don't appear to be any abnormalities for the time being. Let me give you this as a way to say sorry for causing you such a hassle."''

:''"By the way, there wasn't anything going on in New Mauville, right? That was supposed to be a new town, though... We should've been able to build a huge underground city stretching down into the depths. Things happened, and its development had to be suspended. Since then it's just been left to rot. All the equipment inside might have seen better days."''

Magnemite has worked with Wattson for a number of years, during which Wattson and Magnemite overcame Magnemite's struggle to master Thunder Wave.

==In the manga==

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===

Wattson debuts in the {{chap|Ruby & Sapphire}}. He is a joke-loving Gym Leader who is friends with the [[Trick Master]]. When {{adv|Sapphire}} arrives at Mauville City to challenge her third Gym, she is attacked by one of the Trick Master's machines. When she is captured by it, Wattson and the Trick Master come out of hiding to celebrate their victory, only to realize their mistake. Wattson apologizes for the trouble he caused Sapphire and explained that he and the Trick Master were aiming to capture a wild trouble-making {{p|Donphan}} in the area. When Sapphire wondered if the trap-door she fell into earlier was another one of their gadgets, Wattson realizes that Sapphire had accidentally found the entrance to New Mauville. They attempt to open the entrance again, only for a group of children aiming to challenge Wattson arrive. Wattson easily defeats that children, but awards them Gym Badges anyway. This angers Sapphire, but Wattson explains that he does not really care about the results and enjoys giving Badges if his opponents do their best. He offers a Badge to Sapphire for finding the entrance to New Mauville, but she angrily rejects it on the pretense that wants to earn it in a battle.

When {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} are awakened, they begin causing {{a|Drought|droughts}} and {{a|Drizzle|downpours}} throughout Hoenn. Wattson and Flannery are sent to the rain-plagued areas to face Kyogre in battle. Despite their best efforts, Kyogre proves to be too powerful for any of their attacks to damage it. They are later assisted by [[Winona]], who also participates in the battle to stop Kyogre, but all three are interrupted by the Subleaders of the Sea Scheme of Team Aqua, {{FB|Aqua Admin|Amber}}, [[Shelly]], and {{FB|Aqua Admin|Matt}}. The Subleaders all face one of the Gym Leaders to make sure they can't stop Kyogre from advancing any further.

Wattson faces Amber in battle and easily defeats his single {{type|Water}} Pokémon, leaving his opponent without anything else to use. Shelly assists her ally by giving Amber her {{p|Nincada}} to use in battle. Wattson continues to have an easy time against his opponent, but Amber reveals he was stalling so that Nincada could evolve into {{p|Ninjask}}. With its newfound speed, Ninjask gains an advantage over Wattson's {{p|Manectric}}, forcing Wattson to sacrifice his Pokémon to knock it out. Wattson gloats over his victory since he still has more Pokémon to battle with, but he is struck from behind and knocked into the sea. As he sinks, Amber reveals that when his Nincada evolved, it also created a {{p|Shedinja}} that attacked Wattson when he was defenseless. Wattson is later rescued by Sapphire's {{p|Wailord|Lorry}}, which brought him back to the surface using {{m|Dive}} and {{m|Water Spout}}.

After both Team Magma and Team Aqua are defeated and Groudon and Kyogre have returned to their deep slumber, Wattson celebrated the victory with his allies and thanked Sapphire and {{adv|Ruby}} for their assistance in the battle.
