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.)
