The interview starts with the Rocket trio asking Ms. Otani how she feels being in the studio. She responds by congratulating them on getting the radio show off the ground.


The first Pokémon she introduces is, of course, Pikachu. The Rocket trio freaks out at the Pokémon being in front of them and are worried that it'll attack, but Ms. Otani assures them that it'll be OK. Kojirou then suggests Ms. Otani place Pikachu on Musashi's lap; Musashi protests at first, but once she sees how nicely the Pokémon acts around her she calms down. Ikue Otani says that like every Pokémon, Pikachu has days where it's harder to raise than others but that on the whole it's very easy to take care of.


Next, Tosakinto is brought in. Musashi is happy to learn that Tosakinto don't have arms and legs, probably because that means they can't attack her as easily. She then says there's an old man who sells Tosakinto that they should be careful of. Ms. Otani corrects her (while slipping up and saying "fish" instead of "fish Pokémon") and tells her that the old man that she's thinking of sells Koiking, not Tosakinto. They proceed to tell her about the Koiking salesman and warn that he may seem legit at first but that he' always has some trick up his sleeve.


Next up is Roselia. The Pokémon lets out a loud screech and attacks the Rocket trio, prompting Nyarth to mention that there are a lot of Pokémon who appear cute and pretty who are actually tough and violent.


Jupetta's called out next. Kojirou mentions that there's rust on its Monster Ball, alluding to the fact that it's been a while since Ikue Otani's had to perform the character's voice (its last appearance before this radio episode was broadcast was back in 2008). When the Pokémon is brought out and appears ready to fight, Ms. Otani explains that Jupetta are fired up by the color orange. Kojirou points out that it's strange that she came to the studio wearing orange; unfortunately, the Rocket-Dan's Twitter wasn't uploading photos at this point and so we don't get to see what she's actually wearing. Nyarth says that the color orange seems to be good for your liver, so Musashi pops up and says that Kojirou should wear orange all the time from now on. Everyone else seems to agree with this, so Kojirou says he'll go to Roppongi and buy some orange clothes after the show.


The next Pokémon is one that the Rocket-Dan loves very much, Manene. After fawning over it for a bit, Musashi asks Ms. Otani if she's noticed any tricks to raising Pokémon. She says that Pokémon want to talk with the people raising them and brings up Satoshi's Pikachu as an example of a Pokémon and trainer having good communication skills. She then says that, in Manene's case, it's happy being with its trainer even when it's blasting off with him.

Next, Musashi asks if there are any Pokémon that are easier or harder than others to raise. She replies by saying that the ones who are difficult to talk with are the ones who are difficult to raise.


She then brings up Nazonokusa (who she also brings to the studio) as an example of a Pokémon she likes from the first series.

Finally, Kojirou then asks if there are any other Pokémon who have left a deep impression on her. She says that Nyaruma, a Pokémon who was raised by Nozomi and even participated in a tournament, is one such Pokémon. She says that the way the Pokémon rolls its tongue when it purrs is very difficult for it (and, since Ms. Otani provides its voice, for her) to perform. 

The interview ends with Otani Ikue being asked to promote Kyurem vs. The Sacred Swordsman Keldeo and the short Meloetta's Dazzling Recital, in theaters July 14th, 2012.
