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 rich, James gladly accepted the deal.

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. | ||
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.

The next day, when the group was starving with hunger, they started staring at Magikarp, thinking of {{DL|Pokémon food|Eating other Pokémon|eating it}}. However, when Meowth tried to take a {{m|bite}} out of it, their dreams of a Magikarp lunch were ruined, as, like {{an|Misty}} then mentioned, Magikarp is all skin and bones, making it completely inedible. At this point, James got extremely enraged at Magikarp, declaring that it was completely useless and he didn't want to be its {{pkmn|Trainer|master}} anymore, and kicking it off the raft. This proved to be a big mistake, as it caused Magikarp to [[evolution|evolve]] into a Gyarados. Furious of James's behavior, Gyarados completely ignored his attempt to reclaim its loyalty, and gave a chase for the group. After a while of chasing, it suddenly stopped, roaring into the sky. Instead of giving up, however, as the group was hoping for, this proved to be something much worse, as multiple other Gyarados then appeared, and they unleashed a devastating {{m|Dragon Rage}} on the group, sending them flying in a watery tornado. James's Gyarados hasn't appeared since, having returned to living in the {{pkmn2|wild}}. | The next day, when the group was starving with hunger, they started staring at Magikarp, thinking of {{DL|Pokémon food|Eating other Pokémon|eating it}}.
