==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.

* 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!"''

;[[Mossdeep City]]

:''"Oh? Haven't I met you somewhere? Wahahahah! Never mind! It hardly matters! You look like a young fellow worth keeping an eye on. Yes, indeed! I'm looking forward to the day you and I have an electrifying battle!"''

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

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.
