Watt's with Wattson (Japanese: キンセツジム！テッセンの電撃バトル!! Kinsetsu Gym! Tessen's Electric Shock Battle!!) is the 40th episode of the Advanced Generation series, and the 314th episode of the Pokémon anime. It was first broadcast in Japan on August 28, 2003 and in the United States on September 4, 2004.
Synopsis
Ash and friends arrive at Mauville City and immediately proceed to the Mauville Gym so Ash can battle for his Dynamo Badge. Upon arriving they are whisked away at high speeds (Wattson the Gym Leader is controlling the speed) on a platform along a long corridor and over some water till they meet what appear to be a Raikou. Thinking it will attack the group, Ash immediately takes action and has Pikachu attack it with Iron Tail. The head of the Raikou falls off and it is shown that the Raikou was no more then a machine. Wattson the gym leader along with his assistant Watt promptly appear out of a door on the side. Wattson appears delighted with Ash for being able to defeat the mechanical Raikou.
At the same time Team Rocket discovers what appears to be an abandoned power station. Thinking that they could use this as a base for their operations in the Hoenn region they proceed to enter only to find out that it's filled with Voltorbs and Magnemites. Dejected, Jessie and James leave only to be stopped by a scheming Meowth who informs them that the Voltorb and Magnemite would make a great present for the boss in one of his boss fantasies.
The episode then cuts back to the group at the scene of the battle arena. Wattson the gym leader announces that he'll fight with a Voltorb, a Magnemite, and a Magneton. Magnemite is out first. Pikachu is sent out by Ash first to battle. Magnemite launches a Swift attack which Pikachu dodges. Pikachu then uses a Thunderbolt attack which knocks out Magnemite, thereby eliminating it. A stunned Wattson sends out Voltorb which launches a screech attack which is countered by another Thunderbolt by Pikachu. This amazingly knocks out Voltorb as well. Stunned again, Wattson then sends out his last Pokémon Magneton which gets the same treatment by Ash's Pikachu, knocked out by a single Thunderbolt attack. A somewhat shocked and dejected Wattson hands over the Dynamo Badge to Ash. Suddenly Ash notices that Pikachu's not feeling well.
The scene then cuts to the Pokémon Center where Wattson is handing his Pokémon over to Nurse Joy so they can recover from the battle. Wattson informs Nurse Joy that he will send his assistant to pick them up. Nurse Joy appears confused as well with the rather somber attitude of Wattson which is a massive change from his usual bubbly and warm personality. Ash then rushes into the Pokémon Center asking Nurse Joy to check out his sick Pikachu.
We then see Wattson sitting by what appears to be a lake, thinking about the last battle with Ash and fearing about his future gym career. A Electrike then comes towards him and starts playing with Wattson.
Back at the Pokémon Center Nurse Joy tell the group that Pikachu's electric levels were higher then usual and asks Ash if he's been exposed to any high voltage recently which makes Ash disclose the incident with the mechanical Raikou. Nurse Joy informs the group that Pikachu is overcharged and this enables Pikachu to have a lot of power in its electric attacks for a short period of time. Brock then is able to figure out that this is reason for the shocking victory over Wattson. Pikachu recovers. Wattson's assistant then storms into the Pokémon Center asking if Nurse Joy has seen Wattson as he seems to have disappeared. Nurse Joy then recalls the recent incident a few minutes ago where he dropped off his Pokémon somberly. Nurse joy then works out that Wattson is at his favorite location, a lake by the abandoned power plant, coincidentally the same location as Team Rocket.
Back at the lake Electrike shows Wattson his Thunder Wave. Wattson then sees Team Rocket stealing the Voltorb and Magnemite from the power plant in a new electric proof machine. The group arrive at the scene and confront Team Rocket. Team Rocket steals Pikachu and Electrike and then attempt to escape. Ash is about to follow them to retrieve his Pikachu but Wattson stops him and tells him that he has a plan.
Team Rocket are overjoyed with the recent victory over the twerps. Suddenly out of nowhere the same mechanical Raikou appears right in front of Team Rocket. The group then show up as well. Thinking it's a real Raikou, Team Rocket are petrified and become too scared to attack it. Torchic and Forretress then unsuccessfully attack the machine. Pikachu and Electrike then use Iron Tail and Bite respectively to try and break the cage they're in. Team Rocket eventually decide to try and attack the Raikou and have Seviper launch a Poison Tail attack on it which immediately destroys it. Right at that moment the Pokémon they just stole have just managed to break the cage and escape. Seviper and Cacnea attack Pikachu, however Pikachu easily beats them. Dustox is then sent out and beats Pikachu but Electrike then steps in and beats it. Pikachu then uses Thunderbolt to send Team Rocket flying. Ash then confesses to Wattson the reason why he was able to beat Wattson so easily and offers to hand the badge back to Wattson. However Wattson refuses to accept the badge back insisting that Pikachu deserved it for its efforts in helping save the Pokémon at the power plant. Wattson and his assistant then say their goodbyes to the group and Ash promises Wattson that he'll battle him again in the future.
