Upon first glance, it appeared to be simply the last volume of [[Toshihiro Ono]]'s [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]] manga, which was in the process of being released in the United States. However, inside the book was something that changed the face of the fandom. Inside the epilogue were two important scenes: one was James confessing his love to Jessie; the other was a full-page illustration in which Jessie and James were married and Jessie visibly pregnant. Most importantly of all, this was all official and approved by [[Nintendo]]. | Upon first glance, it appeared to be simply the [[Electric Tale of Pikachu volume 4|last volume]] of [[Toshihiro Ono]]'s [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]] manga, which was in the process of being released in the United States.

The RocketShipping fan community went crazy. It finally had officially sanctioned proof that Jessie and James were a romantic couple. Some believed that it was only a matter of time before something similar happened in the TV anime series. | The RocketShipping fan community went crazy.
