In a progression of his involvement in Jessie's Contest arc in the {{series|Diamond and Pearl}}, James is a bedrock of support for Jessie during the [[Pokémon Showcase]] competition. As before, he often forgets to call her by her stage name and is now frequently shown to be the loudest supporter in the crowd, to the point that it becomes a nuisance for the audience seated near him. | |||

** After being separated during a blast-off, James and Meowth find Jessie telling {{Ash}} and company she is quitting Team Rocket to stay with [[Dr. White]], who she has fallen in love with. Meowth is about to stop Jessie, but James tells him they shouldn't get in the way of her happiness. James then runs away crying as he reminisces about his life with his partner. | |||
** When their Pokémon are stolen, James, in a state of obvious emotional distress, seeks the help of Ash and friends to get them back without relying on Jessie. In the original Japanese, [[Serena (anime)|Serena]] begins to ask an ambiguous question of James about Jessie which he cuts off with an affirmative grunt before she can express the verb. Given the context it is hinted that she may have been about to ask if he likes her. | |||
** Having heard the above exchange, Jessie tries to explain to Dr. White that the group are in danger from [[Pokémon hunter (XY063)|the Pokémon hunter]]. When White runs to [[Beatrice]] instead, Jessie chooses to rescue them herself. Meowth begs her to live for love, not evil, to which she replies that she is carrying out the evils of love and truth, quoting their [[Team Rocket mottos|motto]]. | |||
* ''[[XY075|Rivals: Today and Tomorrow!]]'' | |||
** Jessie becomes infatuated with [[Steven Stone]] and gets increasingly carried away with dreams of marrying into his wealthy family. James finally snaps during a wedding fantasy, literally tearing it down. | |||
** Ironically, the thing Jessie is most attracted to is Steven's position as an heir, a fact she mentions at least thrice. That he shares this trait with James seems to be lost on her. | |||
*''[[XY085|Mending a Broken Spirit!]]'' | |||
** James spends the episode in disguise helping [[Serena's Braixen]], at total odds with Jessie. During the motto Jessie throws James a pleading look to join back in so he does so, thinking, "It can't be helped!" | |||
** Jessie quite casually puts a hand in James's back pocket to take something out. He is flustered by this. | |||
* ''[[XY105|Party Dancecapades!]]'' | |||
: Jessie takes James as her plus-one to a dance party. | |||

: Although | : Although the team fears Jessie sulking due to not winning, she actually thanks everyone for helping her get this far. James and Jessie are both blushing when everyone tackles Jessie to the floor. As the camera pans upwards we can hear James saying he'll follow her anywhere. | ||
* ''[[XY124|A Gaggle of Gadget Greatness!]]'' | |||
: When Jessie struggles to open a trick wall, James whacks a hand against it, briefly trapping Jessie between his body and the wall until it opens. Annoyed, she tells him, "That was misleading." The frames are presented like a classic [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kabedon Kabedon]] scene, a trope often used in anime and manga for love confessions. | |||
