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. 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. His English voice actor is Wayne Grayson, his Japanese voice actor is 阪口大助 Daisuke Sakaguchi and his Brazilian Portuguese voice actors are Francisco Freitas (in the Johto league) and Yuri Chesman (in The Legend of Thunder).
He 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.

Trivia
- Vincent's English name actually comes directly from Pokémon Gold and Silver. There is a minor trainer named "Junichi" in the Japanese version who is named "Vincent" in the localization - a Guitarist in the Vermilion Gym with three Magnemite and a Voltorb. The dubbers apparently mistook this character for an unrelated anime character. The same thing happened to Jimmy.
- Also, Vincent's hair is slightly similar to Professor Elm's.
- Strangely, Vincent ends up having a Magneton— a Template:Shiny2 one at that— when he faces off against Ash.
- 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 actors who dub the series.
- 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).
