Wattson/Quotes

These are Wattson's quotes in the Pokémon games.

In the core series

Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald

Mauville Gym

• 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 Gym. 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, Wattson, the Leader of Mauville Gym, shall electrify you!"

• Being defeated

"Wahahahah! Fine, I lost! You ended up giving me a thrill! Take this Badge!"

• After being defeated

"With this Dynamo Badge, Pokémon can use Rock Smash out of battle. And, it will make your Pokémon a little bit faster, too. Hmm... You should take this, too!"

"That TM34 there contains Shock Wave. It's a trustworthy move that never misses! You can count on it!"

"Wahahahah! Go forth and endeavor, youngster!"^RS

"I swell with optimism, seeing a promising young Trainer like you!"^E

Mauville City

• Before New Mauville sidequest

"Oh, <player>! You look like you have a lot of zip! That's a good thing, wahahahaha! Fine, I've decided! I need a favor, <player>! Mauville City has an underground sector called New Mauville. <Player>, I'd like you to go there and switch off the Generator. The Generator has been running a bit haywire. It's getting unsafe. Here, this is the Key to get into New Mauville."

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

• After finishing New Mauville sidequest

"Wahahahaha! I knew it, <player>! I knew I'd made the right choice asking you! This is my thanks--a TM containing Thunderbolt! Go on, you've earned it!"

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

Match Call^E

• After registering him

"Oh, it's you! After you left, I've been redoing my training from scratch. I'd say I could use a wee bit more time to reopen my Gym. You'll have to wait till then! Wahahahaha!"

• After defeating Champion, before rematch is available

"Wahahahaha! You've really done it, haven't you? I've been getting word about you! It seems I need to retrain some more still. I'd say I could use a wee bit more time to reopen my Gym. You'll have to wait till then! Wahahahaha!"

• When rematch is available

"Oh, it's you! My Gym's ready! Visit Mauville anytime! Wahahahaha!"

• After a rematch

"Wahahaha! A battle with you is always charged with shocking power!"

Rematch^E

• Before battle

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

• Being defeated

"Oof... Our batteries ran dry..."

• After being defeated

"We'll have to recharge our batteries again. When we're fully charged up, we'll gladly accept your challenge. So, come back again sometime, won't you?"

Pokémon Black 2 and White 2

Pokémon World Tournament

• Before battle (first round)

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

• Before battle (second round)

"You look like you have a lot of zip! That's a good thing. Wahahahaha! Then I, Wattson, shall electrify you with my Pokémon!"

• Before battle (final round)

"Wahahahaha! Good things come to those who laugh! I'm going to have a fun Pokémon battle and laugh even more!"

• Being defeated

"Wahahahah! Fine, I lost! You ended up giving me a thrill!"

• If the player is defeated

"Wahahahah! Well, I won! How was the battle? Thrilling, right?"

• After being defeated

"Wahahahaha! I swell with optimism, seeing a promising young Trainer like you!"

• After winning

"Well now. Think I'll go gab with that Trainer, Volkner, about remodeling Pokémon Gyms!"

• In the lobby, after the tournament

"Wahahahah! That was a great victory! I'm so impressed by the way you battle that I can't help but laugh!"

Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire Special Demo Version

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!"

Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire

Mauville Gym

• Before battle

"Oh? Now, what are you doing here?"

"What? You say you've gotten past all my rigged doors? Wahahahah! Now, that is amusing! The plans to reform Mauville are done for now. Making traps for my Gym and battling with young Trainers like you are the things I live for now! Then I, Wattson, the Leader of Mauville Gym, shall electrify you!"

• Being defeated

"Wahahahah! Fine, I lost!"

• After being defeated

"I was electrified by you. Now, take this Badge!"

"With the Dynamo Badge, Pokémon can use the HM Rock Smash outside of battle. One other thing—Pokémon up to Level 40 will obey you now, even if you got 'em from someone else! All righty then, this here's for you, too! Go on, take it with you!"

"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!"

• If talked to again

"I swell with optimism, seeing a promising young Trainer like you!"

• After becoming Champion

"Oh! So you've become the Champion, have you? That's what I expect from a youngster that has my approval! I look forward to more big things from you in the future!"

Mauville City

• 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."

• Through intercom

"Oh, <player>. Please come in. It's open."

• In his apartment (before New Mauville sidequest)

"Oh, <player>, you made it! I'm sure sorry to call you all the way out here. Well, I've got a favor I need done right away. I've mentioned this before, but that bright, flashing light on top of that tower means something may have happened in New Mauville! That's why I called you here. I want you to go check on things in New Mauville. There's just one thing, though. New Mauville is usually a prohibited area. Back in my day, it was just locked up normally, but security has been evolving, too! Don't you go anywhere just yet... Hey, thanks! I just took a picture of your eyes. Now if we just use the computer to transmit this data... Now if you go to New Mauville, the doors will open automatically! The Basement Key has what they call "iris recognition." When you get inside, go press the button on the computer in the back. When that computer starts working right, come back here and report to me. I sure am sorry to bug you with all this, but I'm really counting on you!"

"All righty then, I'm counting on you for that investigation of New Mauville! You can Surf from Route 110 to get to New Mauville."

• In his apartment (after New Mauville sidequest)

"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."
