James purchased his {{p|Gyarados}} as a {{p|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 filthy rich, James gladly accepted the deal. When he later told about his purchase to [[Jessie]] and {{MTR}}, however, they revealed him 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 through the ship, causing them to get trapped inside when the ship sunk soon after. | ||
In ''[[EP016|Pokémon Shipwreck]]'', when Team Rocket temporarily joined forces with {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} in order to escape the sunken ship, they appeared to lack a {{t|Water}} Pokémon to swim to the surface, at which point James revealed his Magikarp, believing that it could help them escape. Unfortunately, they soon found out that Magikarp wasn't able to swim at all, just {{m|splash}}ing on its place. By sheer luck, the trio was carried to the surface when the ship flooded, along with Magikarp. | In ''[[EP016|Pokémon Shipwreck]]'', when Team Rocket temporarily joined forces with {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} in order to escape the sunken ship, they appeared to lack a {{t|Water}} Pokémon to swim to the surface, at which point James revealed his Magikarp, believing that it could help them escape.
