NO I CRY THATS SO PRECIOUS….
I think I’ve reblogged this before, but it is literally my favourite fanart ever so here it is again!
This is from the current Team Rocket Radio drama from Japan. It’s the opening skit where James is trying to rescue Jessie on a spaceship in a timeline far removed from their own. It’s the shippiest thing they’ve ever given us! In the skit, they use their English dub names for some reason. Here’s a translation to go along with the audio. (I’m not sure who translated it, but if you do know, please let one of us know)

Kojiro: Ship’s logbook. 5260. Our ship, QQ02 set off on a journey to repair the timeline. However, because of the unknown error of the ship’s system, the ship went off the track.
Musashi: James… James…
Kojiro: Jessie!
Musashi: James!
Kojiro: Ah, are you alright, Jessie? I’ll save you now!…
Musashi: What about other people?
Kojiro: The only people left here are the two of us. *noise of struggling with something*
Musashi: It’s impossible for you alone to move this rubble.
Kojiro: Shit!
Musashi: It’s ok, James…
Kojiro: *panting* I won’t give up… I can’t give up!
Computer voice: Oxygen density decline, oxygen density decline. Limit 30, limit 30.
Kojiro: Hah, what?!
Musashi: Finally… finally it’s only two of us.
Kojiro: Eh?
Musashi: We were both busy and even if we wanted to meet with each other, we couldn’t.
Kojiro: Jessie…
Musashi: But now, when you’re this close to me, holding my hand… I’m happy. I’m very happy…
Kojiro: Jessie…
Musashi: Do you remember? When we first met… ? We both tried to save a little kid from falling and we bumped our foreheads. Even if it hurt, we laughed…
Kojiro: Hahaha, I remember…
Musashi: And later, we were searching for the same book in the bookshop by coincidence…
Kojiro: Ah… Hah *sniffs* yes, we were.
Musashi: From that time on, the coincidences continued to happen somehow. But now that I think of it, it wasn’t just a coincidence, it was inevitable. It was destiny that I met you.
Kojiro: Jessie…
Musashi: So don’t cry… We’ll be able to meet each other again for sure… somewhere for sure… Somehow I have this feeling… That’s why… you… should survive…
Kojiro: Jessie… I can’t leave you!
Musashi: I… can’t move anymore. There’s still some oxygen left for you. You will find a reason to live for for sure…
Kojiro: NO! Please… I can’t live!
Musashi: Ah… Beautiful! Look! This light is wrapping me up…
*bang*
Kojiro: What was that? That’s… UFO… Shit, they’re trying to break the door! *breathes heavily* I… WILL PROTECT JESSIE!
*more noise*
The Japanese voice actors using the English names… *pinches self* I am still on Earth, right?… (Click through to original post to listen to the audio file.)

Notice that this is basically their lives from Kanto to Sinnoh, only with more babies involved.

It’s not often that Meowth gets in on the poofy dress action! I miss when they would dress up.
