Vincent or Jackson (Japanese: ジュンイチ Jun'ichi) is the third protagonist of The Legend of Thunder!. His English name when he is seen in the Silver Conference is Jackson; his English name in The Legend of Thunder!, however, is Vincent.


History

His starter Pokémon was Chikorita, received from Professor Elm of New Bark Town, at the same time as Jimmy and Marina received their Cyndaquil and Totodile.

Vincent has a crush on Marina. Knowing Marina admires people who wear capes, Vincent dresses up in a cape to impress her. He has also used different personae in a bid to impress her. While it is disputed whether Jackson was one, he calls himself Fabu-Vinny in The Legend of Thunder!, as Marina calls Lance Fabu-Lance. Vincent sees Jimmy as a rival for Marina's attraction, which is not unfounded as QuestShipping is near-canon.

As Jackson, he first appeared in Tie One On! where he battled Ash Ketchum in the final battle of the preliminaries of the Silver Conference. The match ended in a draw but Ash proceeded to the next round on points as Jackson had lost his previous match.

Pokémon

This listing is of Vincent's known Pokémon:

Vincent's Meganium
Chikorita → Bayleef → Meganium
Main article: Vincent's Meganium

Meganium was Vincent's starter Pokémon, obtained by him on the same day that Jimmy got his Cyndaquil and Marina got her Totodile, as a Chikorita.

It was first seen in Tie One On! being mean to Squirtle and Bulbasaur along with Jackson's Azumarill until Harrison's Miltank used Heal Bell to calm them down. Jackson used Meganium in the Silver Conference in a battle against Ash's Bulbasaur. After a fierce battle, both Pokémon fainted resulting in a draw.

Jackson's Azumarill's only appearance was in Tie One On! where it first appeared when an apple in a tree which Ash's Bulbasaur and Squirtle and Vincent's Meganium and Azumarill fancied, Bulbasaur and Meganium used Vine Whip to fetch the apple, they pulled to try to get it but in the end the apple snapped in half so everyone was happy until Azumarill threw the apple at Squirtle thinking it was funny. Squirtle was about to fight Azumarill until they stopped but Meganium tripped Bulbasaur up and they both started to fight. Suddenly Harrison used his Miltank's Heal Bell to calm them down.

It appeared later in the Silver Conference against Ash, and Pikachu. Azumarill starts with a Water Gun and Pikachu uses Quick Attack. Pikachu goes for a Thunderbolt and Azumarill uses BubbleBeam. It then goes for Icy Wind hitting Pikachu, it then goes for Iron Tail, but Pikachu grabs onto its tail and uses Thunder fainting Azumarill.

Azumarill's known moves are Water Gun, BubbleBeam, Icy Wind and Iron Tail.

Trivia

  • In the Israeli dub of The Legend of Thunder! special, Vincent was named Jackson, just as in the original series, because the error was caught by the director of the series dub, Maya Bar Shalom. His situation matches that of Eusine.
  • Jackson's name is also similar to that of Ash's Silver Conference and Ever Grande Conference opponents Harrison and Morrison. Along with the aforementioned "-son" ending, they are all named after famous singers (George Harrison, Jim Morrison and Michael Jackson respectively).
  • Vincent's English name change may come directly from Pokémon Gold and Silver. There is a minor Trainer named "Junichi" in the Japanese version whose name was localized as "Vincent" in the English translation - a Guitarist in the Vermilion City Gym with three Magnemite and a Voltorb. The dubbers may have mistaken this character for an unrelated anime character. The same thing happened to Jimmy.
  • Vincent is shown to have a crush on Marina, who likes men who wear capes. When he was first seen in the main series, he was wearing a cape while battling Macy in Tie One On!.
