### Debut

Enter Jim, Leah and Parker!

**Jim Porter** (Japanese: **ポーター承太郎** *Pourtaa Jotaro*) is one of the central characters of Pokémon Legends. He is the leader, founder, and general of Team GDI.

## Appearance

Jim is a semi-immortal cyborg with electric-blue hair and eyes. His main outfit in this series consists of a purple, green and black hat with a golden button and a rectangular golden plate with a design of a flattened hand on the left, a green and purple short-sleeved jacket with a sky-blue undershirt with a large yellow and green Poke Ball logo underneath, black pants with blue pockets and electric-blue sneakers. He also carries a black backpack, which is not seen on concept art.

Speaking of his short-sleeved jacket, the surface of its collar bears a star-shaped pin on the right and 3 letter pins on the left spells "G.D.I", 2 golden zips lie between the chest and the stomach, a breast pocket on the right and the golden GDI logo on the left, and two white lines with "JOJO" lines that reads repeatedly.

In the Pokémon Legends game, his EX Mode outfit consists of (WIP).

## Personality

Jim is serious, has a gentle heart, and is loyal to those he likes, and despite his Element of Harmony being Loyalty, he sometimes fights with those he knows, especially Cheren (who called him hideous after their first meeting). He is highly perceptive, intelligent and quick-witted while keeping a perpetually cool, slightly neutral or disinterested attitude.

Jim's most noticeable trait is his seemingly aloof nature. He is a quiet individual, often satisfied with expressing himself in short phrases. His bio explains that he thinks anyone can tell his emotions just by looking at him, and probably thinks further effort in portraying how he feels to be a waste of time, making others tend to perceive Jim as callous. Related to this, Jim is an extremely cool individual, able to keep his composure in even the direst situations. While he was shown to be mildly anxious when something unanticipated happens, Jim almost never goes as far as to lose his coolness.

But if there's nothing to do, then he is a simple, honest, direct, passionate, hot-headed, impetuous, and confrontational semi-immortal man. Furthermore, Jim is a foul-mouthed individual and regularly taunts his enemies, enjoying aggravating them. However, he's also a playful man and prefers fooling around over having any responsibility. By his own admission, his most hated sentences are "hard work" and "work hard". Jim has a fairly goofy side mixed with boastful nature and his love of pranks.

He does what is right, even if it's the more difficult choice. He won't go looking for trouble, but he won't run if it comes looking for him. His musical preferences lie in country rock (he also prefers dub-steps and the real-life music from the 70-90's too). As a teenager, he wasn't fond of classical music. He doesn't hate easily, but when he does so, it's intense. He is also uncomfortable with formal wear and his Specialist form, preferring casual clothes, but rarely dresses up for a formal occasion when necessary.

He has an tendency of accidentally ora-ing someone who make him shocked or surprised (much to Cheren's chagrin). His favorite sea animals are dolphins. In addition, he hates loud women.

## History

### **Pre-Series**

Jim participated in many activities, including playing ball as a toddler, running track as a young boy and attending school. Throughout his childhood, he was supported and supervised by his parents. The details of Jim's eventual shift into delinquency happened by the age of 10-14. He became a soldier at the age of 18 and later got promoted to Unovian Army general, but eventually, he retired at the age of 38. Everything else about him is currently unknown.

Ever since he was born, he already had superhuman strength, senses, stamina, speed, eyesight and precision and the ability to copy any powers/abilities by natural, which surprises Sullivan a lot. During a trip to Pasio, he fully unlocks his Sync Power just after defeating some evil people bullying a 15-year old girl, notably Nanette's mother. The two of them since became best friends.

### **Season 1**

Jim makes his debut in "*Enter Jim, Leah and Parker!*" where he saves Nanette from being ridded of her Pokémon by using Ora Ora Rush on her enemies.

## Magical Abilities

While he knows some basic, first-level spells like telekinesis, transmuting objects, and fixing minor messes, Jim has 5 abilities. His secret ability is the ability to copy any powers/abilities and immense superhuman strength, durability, dexterity, endurance, condition, senses, stamina, speed, eyesight and precision. He also has the ability to manipulate electricity as well. His magic aura, like most Porters, is electric-blue in color.

### **Uses of Magic**

* **Star Finger** - Jim can forcibly extend his middle and index fingers to an incredible length, allowing him to perform sneak attacks and stab opponents from afar. The technique's frequency of usage decreased as the battles intensified. Using this ability requires precision and fast reflexes.
	+ **Star Fist** - Works similar to Star Finger, except he can extend his wrist to an indeterminate amount of length and punches target at a greater distance. A upgraded version of Star Finger.
* **Stasis Field** - This ability allows him to create a force field that disables anything to prevent them from moving, attacking, or using special abilities. This can be a disadvantage to his allies.
* **Time Stop** - An ability often used by Charlene, Charlie and Alex. When activated, Jim is able to halt the flow of time for a brief moment, causing everything around him to appear frozen in place. During this time-lapse, he is able to interact with any object or person within his range. Measures of time during Time Stop correspond to normal measures, as shown by Jim's unwilling reduction in the duration of Time Stop. He is unable to use the ability consecutively, requiring a few seconds in between each usage. Today, the ability lasts 5 seconds, but decreased over time due to neglect from its user. In Season 10, many years after its initial use, Jim is only able to stop time for half a second, but eventually extends it to 1-2 seconds and then 10 seconds. Jim can stop time via himself or Star Lucario (only when he shouts "Star Lucario: The World!").
* **Ora Ora Rush (or Fighting Sync Bullet Punch):** Jim Porter's primary method of attack. He throws an extremely fast but precise barrage of powerful punches to annihilate an opponent or objects.

### **Passive Abilities**

*Jim's passive abilities are much like his Poke-Stand, Star Lucario.*

* **Self-Preservation** - Jim possesses immense awareness, reaction and reflex speed to protect himself in many instances that he seems unaware; halting a railgun round; protecting himself while frozen by Alex's Time Stop.
* **Superhuman Strength -** Jim possesses immense strength, being able to throw a Jeep carrying four men and a girl out of the path of an 18-wheeler or lift a Mammoth Tank with one hand or destroy large artificial diamonds.
* **Excessive Speed** - Jim boasts phenomenal speed and agility. He was able to intercept a bullet fired from point-blank range, and is stated to exceed/beyond the speed of sound.
* **Immense Precision**: He is also incredibly precise, as he can surgically remove an object embedded in a person's skull without ill effect, catch both a bullet and create a near photo-realistic drawings.
* **Enhanced Eyesight:** He utilizes eagle-like eyesight throughout the series. He is able to see four kilometers across a desert, as well as identify meaningful details, such as a specific type of things in high-resolution images. He can also follow a card shuffle performed by a professional gambler, subsequently recounting the entire new order of the deck.
* **Superhuman Durability:** Jim is incredibly resilient, as he's known to survive most things that normally would kill or severely injure a human. (hence the fact that his Defense and Special Defense is A+).

## Trivia

* Jim Porter is the most oldest and long-lived character among all main characters in the series, the second being his wife. Not only that, but he's also physically the strongest out of all the main characters.
	+ It's weird that Jim's considerably stronger than his Poké-Stand, Star Lucario, due to some unknown reasons.
	+ Jim Porter might be heavily based on Star Platinum (Jotaro's Stand) from *"JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders"* because of his similar abilities and his battle cry.
* While his personality is actually based on Jotaro Kujo from *"JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders"* and Jim Raynor from *"StarCraft",* a real-time strategy game made by Blizzard Entertainment, his hairstyle is based on Cheren's.
	+ Sometimes, Jim's Chespin and Cheren's Snivy think they look alike yet they're not.
* He is the only main character to ever be armed with weapons, the other being Jackie Smith.
* Jim has a Time Stop duration of 5 seconds while Charlie has a duration of 7 seconds.
* If Jim is corrupted and turned into a dark version of himself, his battle cry "ORA" is then replaced by "MUDA" and sometimes "WRYYY" as well.
	+ "Muda" means "useless" and "futile" in Japanese.
* He has the same birthday as his creator.
* Jim and Cheren can sometimes be seen fighting. This is because their ideals often clash, leaving Nanette very annoyed.
	+ In "*The Dark Secrets*", after Cheren calls Jim a brat, the latter goes way too far by ora-punching the former on the face and calling him a idiot. He has since regretted this as none of the main characters even spoke since the incident. The two then started to fight less often after Bianca, Ellie and Nanette become quite upset for learning what happened.
	+ At one point, Jim goes way too far by throwing a knife at Cheren, eventually almost killing him. This really enrages Bianca a lot, as she doesn't want to lose her love interest. However, Mark (Cheren's PokéPet Snivy) takes the severe hit instead, leaving all three completely furious and Nanette scolding Jim hardly. It is that act that Jane attempts to disband the Starlix Club afterward, but the two twins calmed down eventually thanks to some reasoning from Cheren, who then apologizes to Jim.
	+ During Season 9, the two officially stop this habit completely because of what would happen if the Gym Leader's students heard them fighting.
* Jim is the only main character to not have any transformations.
	+ This is nullified in the game based on the series (which is of the same name), as he has EX Mode.
	+ The only times he transformed in the anime were in the final battles of Seasons 9 and 10. He becomes an Innocent Starlight Phoenix in Season 9 while that power, along with the ÉléPower and the EX Mode (latter from the game), were combined in Season 10.
* In this series, he is a **Électrique Élémen** (Japanese: **電気エレメン**), despite only having EX Mode in the game.
