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

History

Morrison first appeared in Less is Morrison, chasing a runaway rice ball. Ash caught the snack and was about to give it to him but Munchlax ended up gobbling it away. Morrison felt miserable about Munchlax taking his snack but felt better afterwards. He revealed to Ash and his friends that he was planning on entering the Hoenn League and winning it. Ash was planning on doing the same, starting a friendly rivalry between the two Trainers. 

After arguing on who is better, Morrison accepted Ash's decision on having a battle. Morrison sent out his Beldum 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 Badges 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.

In the middle of one of their contests, Team Rocket showed up and snatched Pikachu and Beldum. They placed Morrison and his rival in a cage. Both Trainers successfully broke out of the cage they were in with their Take Down techniques, as they left all of their Pokémon (except for Pikachu and Beldum) behind. Ash and Morrison ran very fast and jumped onto Team Rocket's balloon. They had a battle with them by treating themselves as Pokémon. They were able to free Pikachu and Beldum, which then blasted off Team Rocket.

Morrison and Ash

Morrison reappeared in the Ever Grande Conference arc. In 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 Jump. The battle began with an overwhelming start as Beldum's Take Down was continuously blocked by Protect. Since Beldum can only use Take Down, Morrison was at a disadvantage. As Morrison was about to be eliminated, Beldum started to evolve into a Metang. Morrison defeated his opponent by having Metang use Confusion to stop Electabuzz and used Take Down to finish it off.

In the episode From Brags to Riches Morrison was paired up with Gavin as his opponent in the second round of the Ever Grande Conference, which consists of Double Battles. He sent out Growlithe and Gligar while Gavin used Machamp and Marowak. His Growlithe lost to Marowak while Gligar took out Machamp first and then Marowak when both sides were down to one Pokémon.

In A Judgment Brawl, Morrison defeated a Trainer with a 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 Corphish as he was feeling upset. He sent out Swampert as his third Pokémon and tied with Corphish. Their battle continued in Choose It or Lose It!, where Morrison was finally giving his all. His Steelix knocked out two of his Pokémon before losing to Grovyle. When both sides were down to one Pokémon, he was left with Metang while Ash was left with Glalie. After a tough battle, Glalie was victorious despite the type-disadvantage. Morrison stayed around and left after the League Competition was over.

Character

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.

Metang is Morrison's main Pokémon. It first appeared as a Beldum in Less is Morrison where it had a battle with Ash's Pikachu and tied.

Since then, it helped Morrison progress through the rounds until his battle with Ash where it was beaten by his Glalie.
