James purchased his Gyarados as a Magikarp on the [[S.S. Anne|St. Anne]] in ''[[EP015|Battle Aboard the St. Anne]]''. While on the ocean liner, the [[Magikarp salesman]] tricked him into buying Magikarp, claiming that he could {{pkmn|breeding|breed}} it to sell more and more Magikarp. Blinded by the chance to become rich, James gladly accepted the deal. When he later told about his purchase to [[Jessie]] and {{MTR}}, however, they revealed that he had been tricked: Magikarp was a completely useless Pokémon, and even its {{DL|Poké Ball|In the anime|"gold" Poké Ball}} was just gold-plated. When James revealed that he had spent the advances on both his and Jessie's salaries to buy Magikarp, Jessie got furious, angrily telling him to return it immediately. However, before he could find the salesman again, [[Team Rocket]]'s assault on the ship started, and James was forced to abandon his search to join the other {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s. After the operation had been ruined by the passengers' rebellion, the rocking of the ship caused James to drop Magikarp's Poké Ball, and the trio kept chasing it throughout the ship, causing them to get trapped inside and knocked unconscious when the ship sunk soon after. | James purchased his Gyarados as a Magikarp on the [[S.S.
