Jessica, better known as Jessie (Japanese: ムサシ, Hepburn: Musashi), is a very well known member of Team Rocket.
Jessie, Meowth, and James are a group of independent field agents that operate beyond the Team Rocket organization's reach.
The trio's main mission is to steal or obtain Pokémon for Giovanni but their personal goal is to capture Ash's Pikachu. Due to this goal and a lot of coincidences, they are able to tail Ash on his journey, occasionally sending reports to their boss about rare or powerful Pokémon they discover or research that would turn a profit.
This mini-Team Rocket uses elaborate schemes, unconventional tactics, and disguises tailored to the occasion to capture Pokémon and curry favor with their boss.
When they encounter villains opposed to their personal or organizational goals, the three are usually more than willing to sabotage the evil team, even to the point of assisting Ash and his allies when they finally recognize the threat.
Though they are dedicated, the trio is not entirely loyal to Giovanni, and instead, treat the assignments he gives them as means to their own ends. Jessie functions as their confident leader, who allows them the freedom to have side jobs and hobbies and doesn't flinch when lying to their boss' face.
Jessie has magenta long hair that she wears curled in a comet-tail behind her head. She typically wears a pair of large green orb earrings that have become a staple signature part of her look and is never seen without them, even in disguise.
From the opening in Johto Journeys and onwards, Jessie's hair is changed from red to magenta.
Jessie usually wears a customized Team Rocket uniform of her own design. consisting of a short black undershirt that exposes her midriff and belly button under a white high collared sleeved shirt emblazoned with a large red R that team rocket is known for, a short white miniskirt, black high heeled thigh-high boots, and shoulder length black gloves.
When a wild Scyther and its swarm attacked them, it manages to slash Jessie's long hair which is now styled into a shoulder-length hairdo like James in Tracey Gets Bugged. But in A Tail with a Twist when a wild Seviper manages to bite her hair, it was ripped off and her hair becomes medium length. All these hairstyles made Jessie furious with each of the Pokémon that accidentally cut her long hair.
As Jessilina, one of her more common disguises, she wears an orange sleeveless dress that resembles an apron with yellow frills in each side along with two pockets in the sides of her puffy dress and brown cowboy boots. Underneath, she wears a white long sleeve button shirt with a dark blue laced ribbon on the collar. Her long hair is tied in low pigtails. she also wears yellow thick glasses. This disguise is usually worn when she's competing in contests with her Dustox. Later on in the series, her dress was changed to pink and she also wears a half white apron.
In the events of Pokemon: Black & White, after she was promoted to Advanced Agent, Jessie's Team Rocket uniform is now charcoal gray before it changes back to the original white after Battling with the Love of Bug-Types!. In an attempt to hide the fact that she was from Team Rocket, she wears a dark purple trenchcoat, matching sunglasses and a fedora hat to conceal herself. However, the trenchcoat is too long, so she usually ends up wearing it with James being the one walking and her being the one on top, sitting on James's shoulders.
Jessie is the short-tempered member of the Team Rocket trio, having a tough streak as well as being vain and very prone to anger. Every time she has stolen someone else's belongings or Pokémon, she always claims, "Your things are mine, my things are still mine." Due to her pride, she usually underestimates her opponents' strength, which is a cause for her own failure.
She tends to be a drama queen and has a diabolical temperament.
She also values her beauty and long hair; she will become furious if her face or her hair is damaged. A prime example is in Tracey Gets Bugged when a younger Scyther manages to slash her hair down to a shoulder-length, devastating her and sending her into a rage. Jessie also shows her violent outrage when someone insults her beauty by calling her old. Her anger also scares James and Meowth, especially when their missions end up in a failure.
Jessie is shown to care about her Pokémon despite her nasty temperament.
Jessie has an affinity for snake-like Pokémon such as her Ekans who later evolved into Arbok and her Seviper. She also makes has a love of Poison-type Pokémon as seen in The Ninja Poke-Showdown!. In addition, she adored her Dustox, which she released in Crossing Paths!. Dratini and Smoochum are her favorite Pokémon too, so she'll try to steal any one of them if she sees one.
Jessie also has a long-standing rivalry with Cassidy, another member of Team Rocket. Their rivalry is most pronounced in some episodes involving Cassidy and Butch, much like Ash's rivalry with Gary Oak. The episode Grating Spaces!, reveals that Jessie and James aren't allowed the same privileges as other Team Rocket members, thanks to their previous blunders. This means that they aren't given vacation days or extra Pokémon to assist them on missions.
Jessie has various skills in life as it would come in handy whenever she and her Team Rocket teammates need to make money for built machine for stealing Team Rocket. Also, Jessie is good at performing in Pokémon Contest and Showcases.
FamilyFriendRivalsPokémonAgeIn the games, Jessie and James are supposed to be the same age as Ash. However, according to a special CD available only in Japan, Jessie and James are in their 20's in the second episode of Anime. In the episode "The Ultimate Test," while filling out an application she says aloud, "Age: 17, Profession: Diva." She was in disguise and therefore is probably lying about her age, but it's likely that she's at least 17 years old. Incomplete! Please help the Pokémon Wiki by completing it.Anime
Jessie was a poor girl with a cold past whose mother, Miyamoto, disappeared in an avalanche on an expedition with Team Rocket to capture the legendary Pokémon Mew. As a child, her foster mother (her real mother in the dub) made sushi out of snow, giving her a fondness for eating it. She would even go out of her way to get some snow and make some of her mother's old "recipes". As a child, she also had a doll that she adored, but was taken away by a Jynx to be repaired by Santa. She thought that Santa was actually a Jynx and that Santa (Jynx) stole her doll. At the end of the episode, the trio decided to capture Santa for Jessie's gifts, but instead, a Jynx came to their window and used Sweet Kiss, causing them to fall into a deep sleep. Not much is known about Jessie's past, outside of what's shown in brief flashbacks. In the ninth episode of the first season, Jessie talks about her bad memories of studying in the Pokémon Technical Institute. At the time, she already knew James and they studied together for a big test, but after getting the lowest grades in the school's history, they joined a bike gang in Sunny Town episodes later. Jessie went to Team Rocket after failing in her attempt to become a Pokémon nurse, partly due to the fact that the Pokémon nursing school she attended was only for Pokémon who wanted to be nurses (in this case, the Chansey), not for people. But she did not know that until their graduation day. She also studied at a dance with two friends, letting go of one of her first youthful loves in order to pursue her dream of being a star. However, she failed to impress judges like her friends did and regretted not having accepted an invitation to accompany a boy to compete in Pokémon Contests. This was shown in DP073: Crossing Paths!, when she also released her Dustox to be in love with a shiny male Dustox, owned by a guy who looked identical to her lost lover. Not much is known of her former love life, but she said that has never been very lucky in love as her sweethearts have either treated her unfairly and/or abandoned her. She is later paired up with James, a rebellious rich-boy who did not want to follow his family wishes, and Meowth, a fast-talking Pokémon who has dreams of being on the top. She is close friends with the two of them, even though she often behaves irritably towards them. She is shown to be very fond of James, as seen in Holy Matrimony!, when she was reluctant to leave him behind with his fiancée. She was overjoyed when James returned and revealed his intentions to continue working with her and Meowth, despite the fact that he had to relinquish his family inheritance to do so. As of her, James's, and Meowth's promotion and transfer to Unova, Jessie became a terrific stealth artist and an excellent athlete, and was often successful in many missions with her teammates, to the point of the trio becoming a serious enemy for Ash and co. The trio was key in Team Rocket's Meteonite plan, taking orders directly from Giovanni himself as well as his secretary. Jessie and her team-mates worked together with Pierce and met Doctor Zager. Once the plan culminated, Jessie and her team-mates were asked to do as they please in Unova, so they continued working hard to do Team Rocket good and partnered with Zager. Ash had thus become less important to them but they would still antagonize him if he interfered in their plans. In Scare at the Litwick Mansion!, she, James and Meowth had their life energy drained by four Litwick. The trio is forced to team up with Ash and his friends after Ash saved her from being engulfed into the Ghost World. Later, Jessie manages to capture Iris' Axew, Emmy's Druddigon and Ash's Pikachu in the episode, The Dragon Master's Path! after using James' Yamask and her Woobat to ambush them while riding in the air rocket. Their rocket soon crashes thanks to Axew's nearly mastered Dragon Rage which allows it and Druddigon to escape briefly in the mountains, but they are soon attacked by both Yamask and Woobat. Team Rocket's stealing attempts are soon futile when they are attacked by Druddigon's newly learned Draco Meteor and Axew's mastered Dragon Rage, forcing them to flee in jetpacks as James coldly remarks that Ash and his group are always getting in their way. The trio later participates in their boss Giovanni's Operation Tempest in both Meloetta and the Undersea Temple! and Unova's Survival Crisis!. Jessie and James fought both Cilan and Iris using his Yamask and her Woobat against Pansage and Axew. They are amused to see their boss, Giovanni, defeat Ash and his Pikachu using Persian as his battling Pokémon as well as to capture Meloetta in their aircraft. Giovanni becomes overwhelmed with power and expresses his desire to destroy Unova. Jessie and Meowth tackle their boss to save his life and Giovanni regains control of himself. Team Rocket soon retreats from Unova. After the failure of Operation Tempest and N's introduction; James, Jessie, and Meowth return to their old ways of capturing Pikachu and their wackier antics. They also run into Team Plasma grunts who are searching for N. In Meowth, Colress and Team Rivalry!, she and James manage to lure the Team Plasma grunts into their trap while Meowth ambushes Doctor Colress. Despite their efforts, they realized that Meowth was in Team Plasma's control forcing both to release Amoonguss and Frillish to fight it. When a brainwashed Meowth is finally paralyzed, she and James manages to snap Meowth out from Team Plasma's control. Jessie had Frillish use Mist to escape before being attacked by their Liepard. The trio are requested by Looker to stop Team Plasma and they steal Team Plasma's Pokémon using Yamask and Woobat. After Team Plasma is defeated they return to their mission of capturing Pikachu, but always fail. After their failed attempt of capturing Pikachu in The Dream Continues!, they are back in Team Rocket Headquarters as their boss Giovanni wants to know how they defeated Team Plasma. Hiding their connection to Looker, both James and Jessie give their Unova Pokémon such as Yamask, Woobat, Amoonguss and Frillish to Giovanni which he agrees for its safekeeping. Jessie becomes disappointed that their Unova Pokémon are in Giovanni's hands and even she scolds James and Meowth for wanting to try to capture Pikachu immediately. As the trio leaves to their next mission, her Wobbuffet appears behind them and Jessie brings him back into their team. After Ash decides to travel to the Kalos region, they decide to follow him. In the XY series, when Ash finally made it in the Kalos region and arriving at Lumiose City, they manage to disrupt the battle between Ash and Clemont. She actually releases Wobbuffet to battle and he demonstrates both his Counter and Mirror Coat. They were soon blasted off by Froakie's Water Pulse. Jessie and Meowth are also disappointed when James successfully catches Inkay by luring it in with food. Therefore, when she tripped into a wild Pumpkaboo, she decided to capture it. Throughout these episodes, they are seen trying to steal others' Pokémon, including Pikachu and Pokémon that are able to Mega evolve. However, they are blasted off by Ash and his group or other Trainer's Pokémon . They also fight against the evil Malamar group on several occasions. Like Serena, Jessie also enters the Pokémon Showcase as a disguised Jessiliee but both are eliminated in their debut. Jessie and James are also thoroughly outmatched during their encounters with Kalos' Team Flare. During the Lumiose Conference, he along with Jessie, Meowth, and Wobbuffet serve as cameramen for one of the members of Elite Four and news reporter, Malva, and are unaware of Malva's alignment with Team Flare. But as Lysandre causes chaos through Lumiose City with Z-2 as Zygarde in its 50% form, James, Jessie, and Meowth had no choice but to help Professor Sycamore, Mairin, and Serena. With the assistance of the Hoenn Champion, Steven Stone, the trio finally remove their disguises and tells them to move on to get Chespie while facing off against Team Flare grunts including Celosia and Mable. After the incident James, Jessie, Meowth, and Wobbuffet manage to edit their video to make it look like they defeated Team Flare singlehandedly. Giovanni was impressed and orders them back to their headquarters in Kanto. Before returning to Kanto, they attempt to capture Pikachu one last time in Professor Sycamore's laboratory but failed due to Ash's Greninja using Cut to release Pikachu from their captivity, allowing him and Alain's Charizard to blasts them off for the last time with a Thunderbolt and Flamethrower combination. In the final episode, Till we Compete Again! in the XY series, they were informed again by Giovanni about their success in defeating Team Flare led by Lysandre and just like the previous episode, he tells them to return to Team Rocket HQ in Kanto to give them some reward which they agreed. James, Jessie, Meowth, and Wobbuffet are last seen in the airport hurrying to catch their flight to the Kanto region. In the Sun and Moon series, Jessie along with James and Meowth continued their mission of stealing Pokémon and of course robbing Ash's Pikachu, though mostly ending in failure. She also caught a Mimikyu with James' Luxury Ball. In Mimikyu Unmasked, Jessie and Mimikyu were separated with James, Meowth, and Wobbuffet, and then she attempted to choose a costume for Mimikyu until Mimikyu was fed up. She later encouraged Mimikyu to fix its disguise and in return, Mimikyu helped her to defeat a flock of Murkrow. Although Team Rocket still lost to Ash due to Mimikyu's disobedience, Jessie and Mimikyu's bond had still gotten stronger. During their exploration on Ula'ula Island, Jessie, James and Meowth earned a Z-Ring that allowed them to perform Z-moves with Mimikyu and Mareanie. At the end of the Sun and Moon, Jessie decided to release Mimikyu as she assumed that it would be saddened to be stuck in Kanto. After the Masters Eight tournament, Jessie went with James and Meowth to Paldea to try and capture some Pokémon. During their trip, they ran into Koraidon, Sprigatito, Quaxly and Fuecoco but failed to catch any of them. After that, Jessie and the Team made a few more attemps to catch Pikachu, but to no avail. During one of their hunger walks, the Delibird from Team Rocket HQ brings them food and all the Pokemon that they have caught over the years (except for the ones they have released), with Giovanni ordering them to put the pokemon to good use. They follow this order by making a full on, last ditch attempt to catch Pikachu, but inevitably fail due to the unown Latias appearing. They get sent blasting off, and when crash landing, realize that the Team won't work after all. In the end, Jessie splits up with James and Meowth, and goes to Giovanni to request his permission for her to be working independently. Instead, she works at the HQ cafeteria, serving food to the various Team Rocket Grunts. The new job is horrible, with even the breaks being short, but no matter what, she still holds anger to James and Meowth. Off camera, she gives up on her waitress job, and gets back with James and Meowth, respectively. They finally corner Ash and Pikachu, reciting their motto for the last time, and almost catch the electric mouse Pokemon, if not for Pidgeot cutting out Pikachu at the 11th hour, and in the end get sent blasting off for the last time in the Anime. Before they do though, all three swear to be together forever, and to never give up on catching Pikachu. This is confirmed, when they are seen spying on the duo in their Hot Air Balloon.
4 days ago · In Pride of a Champion!, Team Rocket mentioned Jessie's Gourgeist multiple times while watching Diantha use hers during her Masters Eight Tournament match against Lance. Gourgeist is the last of Team Rocket's Pokémon to evolve during their time as antagonists, excluding Wobbuffet's temporary devolution in Showdown at the Gates of Warp!.
By campfires, under the unchanging stars, they brewed up tea, telling stories and singing songs late into the night.
