Shipping:QuestShipping

undefined QuestShipping is the belief in a romantic relationship between and. The evidence for this can be found in two places in The Legend of Thunder!. The first is in Part One, in the scene with them talking outside the Pokémon Center. There are a number of subtle hints, particularly from Marina. Interestingly enough, many characters do notice this, including Vincent and Jimmy's own.

Opposers to this Ship point out that Jimmy made it clear that he had no romantic feelings towards Marina. However, supporters say there are still hints in the conversation and that "he just doesn't know it yet" (this has been said about Ash frequently). Indeed, similar to, it is Marina who shows the most hints of romance.

Typhlosion, while not used as evidence for QuestShipping, seems to know about Jimmy's feelings for her.

Near the beginning, when Jimmy is speaking to Vincent over the phone, Vincent beckons him closer and says, "You love her, right? Ever since we were kids..." Jimmy blushes, denies it, and slams down the phone. In the next scene, some say that Marina tries to show Jimmy that she likes him.

When Marina is taken hostage by Attila and Hun, while Jimmy does not lose control of himself the way Vincent does, he is obviously concerned for her safety and shows visible anxiety when Hun destroys her Pokégear, disrupting the communication between her, Jimmy, and Vincent. Later on, Jimmy has his rescue Marina from the cliff while Attila and Hun are busy with their machine. Although Vincent is the one to catch Marina on his back when she falls out of the sky, Jimmy rushes over immediately asks if she is okay. The most solid evidence for this Ship is at this point. When Marina confirms that she is all right, she and Jimmy have a moment where they just look at each other until Vincent interrupts them.

At the end, right after Vincent, Jimmy, and Marina take separate roads again, Jimmy is walking through the forest and his Pokégear is ringing. It's Marina, who is asking him if he wants her number. Jimmy calmly says, "Yes," but is blushing and making a "Yes!" gesture as he receives her number.
