Jessie's Contest arc in the ''Diamond & Pearl'' series is a major source of development for her relationship with James. The hesitancy he feels towards her participation, carried over from the Advanced Generation, eventually dissipates and he becomes increasingly involved, loaning her his Pokémon and on [[DP146|one occasion]] stepping in for her when she is sick. He repeatedly forgets to cheer her by her Jessilina alias and instead calls her Jessie before correcting himself, such as in ''[[DP171|Dawn of a Royal Day!]]''. In ''[[DP175|Opposites Interact!]]'' James tries to get Jessie to let him watch her performances instead of selling merchandise. | Jessie's Contest arc in the ''Diamond & Pearl'' series is a major source of development for her relationship with James.

** James remains depressed over losing Cacnea, so Jessie and Meowth try to cheer him up with food. When this doesn’t work, they attempt to lift his spirits by stealing {{AP|Buizel}} and {{TP|Dawn|Aipom}}. When James accidentally foils their plans, Jessie jumps on him and pins him down to hush him and then explains what they were doing. James is touched, hugs them and joins their effort. Even though they end up stealing the wrong Pokémon, James is moved to tears and he and Jessie hold hands. | |||
** Although Jessie is running the scam unbeknownst to James, he immediately recognizes her in spite of her disguise. | |||

** James is concerned Jessie might come to regret releasing Dustox, reminding her that she has lovingly raised it from a Wurmple. When she explains that this is Dustox’s chance at love, he is touched and assures her that he will help restore the lake. | |||
** The narrator at the episode's close suggests that Jessie might one day find happiness too, as the frame pans down to Jessie and James watching the Dustox migration side-by-side (the shot fading as Meowth comes into frame). The English dub changes the narration from finding happiness to finding love. | |||

** James is upset by Meowth leaving the team, but heartbroken when Jessie leaves. He reminds her that they’ve been working towards the same dreams and she retaliates by reminding him that his family is rich and he has a fiancée, implying that she thinks he'd be happier back at home than he would be with her. He shouts at her retreating figure, “Was our bond really that fragile?” | |||
** Once Jessie learns about James being in danger, she immediately drops the façade of pursuing her contest career and rushes to his aid. Upon saving him, the two feign aloofness for a few seconds before James throws himself on his knees and cries with joy that Jessie has returned. | |||
** When the {{shiny}} {{p|Metagross}} is about to kill them, James apologizes for getting Jessie involved, which she brushes off saying they're friends. He goes on to say life wasn't wasted because he spent it with good friends, looking at her significantly. Closing their eyes for the final blow, Jessie says, “If there is another world after we die, let’s meet again there.” James agrees and smiles, no longer looking afraid. This is an addendum to James's promise in ''[[HS12|Training Daze]]'' to always be at Jessie's side. | |||
