James captured it as a {{p|Weepinbell}} and took it to a breeding center sometime between ''[[EP049|So Near, Yet So Farfetch'd]]'' and ''[[EP057|The Breeding Center Secret]]'', in which he goes to retrieve it. He finds it has [[Evolution|evolved]] into a {{p|Victreebel}} and is very pleased. This Victreebel has an affinity for James which it expresses by {{m|Bite|biting}} down on him whenever it is released from its [[Poké Ball]] (although on some occasions, it would instead attempt to bite {{MTR}}, [[Jessie]], or even Jessie's {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}}, presumably meaning it held affection for them, too). This starts the {{cat|anime running gags|running gag}} of James's Pokémon attacking him almost whenever summoned. Victreebel was used as James's secondary battling Pokémon during the latter half of [[Kanto]], and throughout the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]]. During [[Johto]] it became his primary combatant | James captured it as a {{p|Weepinbell}} and took it to a breeding center sometime between ''[[EP049|So Near, Yet So Farfetch'd]]'' and ''[[EP057|The Breeding Center Secret]]'', in which he goes to retrieve it.

In the episode ''[[EP261|Here's Lookin' at You, Elekid]]'', James is pushed into [[Trade|trading]] his Victreebel for a {{p|Weepinbell}} by [[Jessie]] and {{MTR}} after the [[Magikarp salesman]] cons them by saying they can use its {{m|Sweet Scent}} to capture Pokémon. Later in the episode the Weepinbell evolves and bites down on Jessie, this causes her command {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} to send the flycatcher Pokémon flying. At the same time the Magikarp salesman realizes that James's Victreebel will not obey him, and he kicks it away. The two Victreebel meet, fall in love, and skip off into the forest. | In the episode ''[[EP261|Here's Lookin' at You, Elekid]]'', James is pushed into [[Trade|trading]] his Victreebel for a {{p|Weepinbell}} by [[Jessie]] and {{MTR}} after the [[Magikarp salesman]] cons them by saying they can use its {{m|Sweet Scent}} to capture Pokémon.

*Victreebel is well known for emitting a very high-pitched shriek when it is sent out, making it one of the few Pokémon that does not utter its own name (Though it did say "bel" a few times in its debut episode, which was the only time it was voiced by Eric Stuart). | |||
