The radio show begins with Jessie, James and Meowth acting serious and professional like they do in the current anime.
Alright! Point 6-3-4-2 has been marked.
With this, we'll be sure to to get Meloetta.
We should report to Dr. Zager right away nya!
Meowth, we've already sent him a mail.
As expected of you, James
Heh, it’s natural for a professional like me
Yeah.
By the way, Jessie...can I ask you something?
What?
What kind of professionals are we?
Huh?
When did the three of us become this cool?
Hmm? Hmm?
Th-that's...so we can get closer to Team Rocket's goals. Everything's for Giovanni's sake!
But! This professional style...
Hmm hmm?
Can we really aim for the top...when we're acting this way?
James!
No! Today I want you to make this clear with me. Jessie!
Eh!?
Are you really ok about such a Team Rocket?
Um, uh...
Are you...really having fun?
Eh...
Up until now, (violin music starts playing) you've always openly said and done what you like! You didn't care what others thought of you at all! But now, whenever we talk to each other, it's just to confirm our plans!
That's...that's...
Is this really OK? Is doing things the way we've been doing them up until now really OK for you?
Stop it James!
I can't...this Team Rocket..."
Stop nya! You know that the three of us have to have conversations with each other nya!"
Yes, that's right."
Meowth, are you satisfied? For a pokemon who can speak human language, you have fewer lines than any other pokemon...no...than any of the three of us!
That really hurts! You're going too far...
I can't do this anymore! No matter how many times we say "For Giovanni's sake!" this life is…!
To tell you the truth, I've been recently starting to feel the same way as you, James!
Jessie!
But… while it may be true, this is something the three of us decided together. I’m also following the path of an actress who’s being forced.
It can't be helped nya...I've been saving something for a time like this. Take a look!
(fanfare plays)
Eh? A plan?
Using the radio, we'll make 7 billion people members of Team Rocket, all for the sake of our boss.
That's right! By broadcasting over the radio, we'll get every human on the planet join us and receive praise from the boss!
Eh!? And we'll be able to speak freely?
Of course nya! If we don't speak normally then we can't put on a proper radio show nya!
But wait a minute! Won't Dr. Zager get mad at us for this?
He doesn't have to know about this nya. This will be a secret broadcast from our hideout.
(bubbling with excitement) Secret!?
A se-cret---!"
That's right! Let's go ahead and get started!
The regular show starts with Jessie and Meowth introducing the name of the show - "Pokemon Radio Show! Team Rocket’s Secret Empire" and Team Rocket Forever music playing. Meowth introduces himself as the personality. Jessie gets really excited and introduces herself as the main personality who loves sushi and sashimi. James thanks his fans from all over the world for waiting and introduces himself as the show’s chairman. They all start clapping hands. After that, Meowth asks James about explaining the contents of the show in easy words, since he is the chairman. James all of sudden loses his self-confidence and starts stuttering, so he tells the main personality Jessie to do it instead of him. Jessie accepts it and says that they’re going to talk chaotically about whatever they want for the rest of the show as James laughs. She almost babbled out their address, but Meowth stops her, because it’s secret. She decides to hand over “this bothersome explanation” to Meowth and she and James get happy.
Well, it can’t be helped then, nya.
(James laughs in the background)
This show was created in order to make Rocket-Dan the number one in the world and get our boss, Giovanni to the top. That’s why we’ll use the radio to exchange various informations, increase the amount of our fellows rapidly and to make the whole world members of Team Rocket. In short, with everyone’s help we’ll create Rocket-Dan’s country, nya!
Jessie wonders what’s this information exchange about and how will they do the members’ assembly. James asks how will they accomplish getting all these fellow members. Meowth asks them if they heard about Twitter. James knows about it, but Jessie is confused and she doesn’t know what a network is.
On Twitter there’s an account called “Team Rocket’s Secret Empire” that’s related to this show. You only need to follow it to become the member. In short you can become our fellow!
Is this way really ok? Isn’t it too easy?
So, everyone who wants to become friends with Team Rocket, gather! Don’t forget to follow right away!
The goal is… 7 billion members!
Wa.. wait a sec! So if someone doesn’t have a computer or a cell phone, they can’t do it, right? Ee… Grade school students, twerps and the like aren’t allowed, I guess?
Well, we’ll think about it little by little…
(James laughs)
You didn’t give it much thought…
Meowth announces that it’s time for the radio corner and he welcomes Pokemon caretaker. James gets confused as he didn’t hear about this before. Meowth hands him some paper and tells him to read it.
In this corner, we invite people who have been always taking care of Pokemon…
Aa, I got it, they’re guests.
Yeah, guests. … and listen to them talk on various topics, whatever comes up. *he stops reading* Pokemon raising specialists! You may never know what kind of talk comes up, so don’t miss it! Sorry. *reads again* In this corner, we decide which various Pokemon caretakers as well as Pokemon could fit in Team Rocket.
After the commercial, the trio welcomes their special guest which is Ikue Ootani. After greeting her, rap music suddenly starts playing and Jessie is surprised. James starts singing to its tune though:
(rapping) Before you came, I thought of asking questions singing, I have no doubt about this, yo.
(rapping) That sounds pretty good to me!
(rapping) Tell us what month were you born, where do you come from, what’s your pet’s name, yo.
Hey, hey!
It fits, doesn’t it? As planned.
(rapping) Tokyo, yo! Ordinary woman born in August! Pet’s name is simply Iku-chan, yo!
Somebody: Victooory! (Iku-chan and “victory” sound similar)
(rapping) What was the production you debuted in, nya? Tell us your representative productions, nya yo!
Nya yo.
Nya yo.
Nya yo fits perfectly somehow.
(rapping) Got it! “Ganbare, Kickers!” was my debut work! Yeey! What my representative works are, I wonder? Somehow this is difficult! “Kobo, the Li'l Rascal”, “Hime-chan’s ribbon”, “Zatch Bell”! “One Piece”!
She overdid it.
(rapping) And I can’t forget about “Po-ke-mon”! Yeeeeah!
They end it with thanking Ootani and admitting it was awesome. Meowth suggests that they can talk about various things from now on while Ootani will be presenting the pokemon she’s raising, but James says that he first wants to ask her about her impression about their mission. Ootani congratulates them and starts clapping her hands. As Rockets seem to be surprised, she explains that it seems to her that they will succeed in their evil scheme. The trio says that they’re happy for getting praised like this and ask her if she really means it. She confirms it and replies that she loves their evil schemes. Jessie says that just weren’t prepared for hearing such nice words.
Jessie says that she wants to see Pikachu since she’s raising it. Ootani suggests to take Pikachu out. Once it appears, the trio screams in excitement. Jessie wonders if it’s okay to catch it here. Ootani asks her in suspicious tone what she meant by that. Jessie gets nervous and explained that she only said it absentmindledly and it wasn’t like she had an intention to do it. As they started talking at once, James tells them to change the topic and suggest Ootani to put Pikachu in Jessie’s lap. Jessie refuses as she’s too scared, but Ikue tries to do that anyway.
Comecomecomecome!
Pikachu (angrily): Pika pika piii..!
Ah, nonononononono…
That’s unusal, it’s troubled with something. Because normally it’s used to people.
Ah, so it is?
It’s ok, so stay calm.
What? It’s not going.
It’s cute and it stole my heart right away…
Pikachu: Pika?
… but I want to ask for a break today.
Pikachu *irritated*: Pikachu…
After that, Jessie and James are eager to listen to Ootani’s story about raising Pikachu.
Their guest replies that Pikachu is relatively free and uncontrolled, and even though there were some difficult moments, but she managed to raise it without bigger problems, so it was pretty easy. Then they talk about various Pokemon that Ootani raises and wonder together which would fit Team Rocket. They start with Goldeen. Jessie has a hunch that it would do well, since it looked cheerful. But then, she remembered something and she asks Ootani if there’s some bluff behind it. She denies in a slightly offended tone. Jessie starts telling her about an old guy who’s selling Goldeens, but Ootani corrects her, saying it was Magicarp salesman. They end up talking about him and his sneaky ways of forcing people to buy from him. James cuts the talk off, as they got off-topic too much.
He suggests obtaining Roselia. When Roselia appears and Jessie admits “It’s groovy, but… it would be pretty if not for…”, Pokemon starts screaming in a high-pitched tone, scaring everyone. Meowth admits that it’s cute but raising it must be hard and Ootani agrees with him. After this, Jessie asks her if she has Banette too, because she thinks it’s cute. Ootani confirms it, but tells her to wait a little, because it’s hiding somewhere. Jessie and James suggest calling it or looking for it with a pokeball. When Banette suddenly appears, it gets very agitated by something and it starts rampaging in the studio. James tries to stop it. Ootani wonders if it’s because of the studio being orange and orange color is known as stimulant. James notices that Ootani is wearing orange clothes today and they talk about orange color more.
I heard that orange color is good for your liver.
(everyone laughs)
So, James… you should better wear orange all the time!
Me?! I should wear orange?
James then says that he will go shopping in Roppongi, since it’s in the neighborhood.
