RocketShipping: Jessie X James

The Path to The Pokémon League Jessie and James argue over who should carry the bag. Jessie, with a flirtatious facial expression, explains that a real gentlemen always carries a bag for a lady.

The Ninja Poké-Showdown Jessie gives James a rose, much to his astonishment. Jessie goes on to say that beautiful things can be painful. The Song of Jigglypuff Jessie gets furious at the guy who beats up James.

Pikachu Re-Volts Cassidy claims that there is a rumor that Jessie is getting fired. James scrambles on all fours over to Cassidy, grabs her arm, and asks if she heard any rumors about him. Jessie angrily drags him back to the other side of the room.

Stage Fight! When a Hitmonchan hits James in the face, Jessie quickly jumps to his defense, saying, "How dare you strike my friend." This implies that Jessie does care for James and is willing to protect him.

A Farfetch'd Tale Jessie blushes and looks at James adoringly when he is doing well in battle against Ash and company.

Spinarak Attack After James picks a lock with a paper clip, Jessie nudges James with her elbow and says, "Ooo, nice work James," in a flirtatious way.

The Heartbreak of Brock Although Jessie seems enthusiastic about James marrying Temacu, her reason for getting them together is so that Team Rocket can steal the Pokémon Temacu's father's keeps for research. She assures the reluctant James that he will only have to stay with Temacu as long as it takes for them to get close enough to the Pokémon. When telling Temacu's father a false story of how Temacu and James came to be together, she adds that the meeting was "perfect, beautiful, like something someone with an overactive imagination would dream up in her unfulfilled fantasies!"

Who's Flying Now? James starts to describe a memory and Jessie interrupts, saying that if it has to do with his past love life, she'd rather jump off a cliff than hear it. It turns out that he was simply describing why he always wanted a Chimecho.

Eight Ain't Enough James, disguised as Juan, flirts with three Juan fans, who swoon in return. He kisses the hand of the nearest fan, who blushes and complements him on his way with words. Jessie looks either uncomfortable, disappointed, or saddened by this.Later, Jessie gets angry when James laments having to leave Juan's mob of adoring fans, who all happen to be women.

Reversing the Charges When blasting off, James says that no matter how many times this happens, he's fine as long as he's with with his Mime Jr. This causes Jessie to turn and look at him, very annoyed. Normally she and Meowth are the objects of James's attention.

The Champ Twins! Jessie wraps her arm around James's neck and pulls him to her shoulder. She refers to him as her training partner and friend.

Ill-Will Hunting! James comments, "That haughty Hunter J. Try as we might, she manages to maintain her one-upmanship." Jessie yells back, "When it comes down to bushels of unbridled beauty, try using those eyes connected to that pea brain of yours and see who rules! I do!"

Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! (Part 1) This episode is one of several examples where Jessie feels the need to compete with Hunter J in reaction to James's observations about J's skills. Here James complains with: "First we get pre-empted by a pack of Pokémon Hunter henchmen, then we get upstaged by a Pokémon Ranger." Not wanting to acknowledge that J and her henchmen were quicker on the draw, Jessie says, "That Hunter hussy. Hunter J is going to pay. I'll turn the tables on her so fast, her head will spin." In disbelief, James says, "Bold, but this is Hunter J you're putting away." Jessie responds with, "The 'j' stands for 'jerk.'" Jessie's comment is directed at J, but can also be aimed at James for being impressed with J.
