"I'll do it." replied Brendan confident.
"Mauville City has an underground sector called New Mauville. Brendan, I'd like you and switch off the generator." requested Wattson.
"Why?" asked Brendan skeptically.
"The generator has been running a bit haywire. It's getting unsafe." said Wattson.
Wattson fished a key out of his pocket.
"Here, is the key to get into New Mauville." said Wattson.
Wattson handed the Basement Key to Brendan.
"Don't worry about it. It won't be a challenge for you. The entrance to New Mauville is just a short Surf away from Route 110." revealed Wattson.
"I won't let you down." promised Brendan.
"That's it, then! You have my trust!" exclaimed Wattson.
Brendan headed south and surfed on Carvanha. He went to New Mauville and successfully shut down the generator. Once done, he returned to Wattson.
"I knew it, Brendan! I knew I'd made the right choice asking you!" declared Wattson.
Wattson pulled a TM out of his pocket.
"This is my thanks - a TM containing Thunderbolt! Go on, you've earned it!" declared Wattson.
Brendan accepted the gift and taught it to Manectric replacing Spark. Brendan then returned to Hoenn Route 118 and ran into familiar faces
