===Synopsis===
[[File:EDJ13 field.png|thumb|220px|left|The field]]
{{Ash}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} are sitting on a field at dusk, sleeping. First, Ash wakes up, next Pikachu, who stretches. Ash pets his beloved Pokémon softly, before he jumps onto his knees. Then, Ash takes a floating seed of a dandelion, looks at it and releases it into the wind again, while Pikachu watches everything, quite touched. Afterwards, the two hug each other.

| <ab>''Turn around and look at the road you've followed
Lift up your head and look at the future you're creating!

When you become tired from trying so hard,
Look to the sky as you shed your tears.
The wind brushes your cheeks, I'm sure it'll say:
"It's okay if you fall. You are you and that makes you wonderful!"

Those that haven't been hurt cannot see the blue sky.
On a journey you hesitate to walk on, your life will shine.''</ab>

| <ab>''Turn around and look at the road you've followed
Lift up your head and look at the future you're creating!

When you become tired from trying so hard,
Look to the sky as you shed your tears.
The wind brushes your cheeks, I'm sure it'll say:
"It's okay if you fall. You are you and that makes you wonderful!"

Those that haven't been hurt cannot see the blue sky.
On a journey you hesitate to walk on, your life will shine.

When you are enveloped by some kind of smile
It seems that your sorrow will be healed
The sun peering through a crack in the clouds
Begins to shine upon those frank eyes

Look closely at the other side of the headwind
The continuously forming future awaits

Let's make a step forward because the sky is there

Those that haven't been hurt cannot see the blue sky.
On a journey you hesitate to walk on, your life will shine.
Turn around and look at the road you've followed
Lift up your head and look at the future you're creating!''</ab>
