Episode 001
The first episode of Pokemon Radio Show! Team Rocket's Secret Empire aired on July 1, 2012.
Synopsis
The radio show begins with Jessie, James and Meowth acting serious and professional like they do in the current anime.
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.
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.
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.
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:
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.
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.
James then says that he will go shopping in Roppongi, since it’s in the neighborhood.
