Pokémon World
Dub OP 2 Artist Russell Velázquez Lyrics John Loeffler Composer Arrangement John Siegler
KOCH Records Title Pokémon World Catalog no.

Pokémon World is the opening theme to the second season of the English-language Pokémon dub, Pokémon: The Adventures in the Orange Islands. It was used from The Lost Lapras to The Rivalry Revival. It was written by John Loeffler and John Siegler and was sung by Russell Velázquez. The footage used in the opening is from the second Japanese opening, The Rivals.

A version sung by Youngstown and Nobody's Angel was the opening theme to the second Pokémon movie, The Power of One, and appeared on the movie's soundtrack, Pokémon the Movie 2000. It also was one of the few English Pokémon songs to get its own official single.

A non-lyrical version is featured in the game Pokémon Puzzle League as the theme song for Gary Oak.

Lyrics

Yeah...yeaah...
Got the power
Yeah...yeaah...

So you wanna be the Master of
Pokémon!
Understand the secrets and
Have some fun
So you wanna be the Master of
Pokémon!
Do you have the skills to be
Number one!?

I wanna take the ultimate step
Find the courage to be bold (Pokémon)
To risk it all and not forget
The lessons that I hold
I wanna go where no one's been
Far beyond the crowd (Pokémon)
Learn the ways to take command
Use the power that's in my hand
Oh hey!

We all live in a Pokémon world
(Po-ké-mon)
I wanna be the greatest Master of them all!
(Greatest Master)
We all live in a Pokémon world
(Po-ké-mon)
Put myself to the test
To be better than all the rest
Ungh!

Yeah...yeaah...
G-G-Got the power
Yeah...yeaah...

Every day along the way
I will be prepared
(Pokémon)
With every challenge I will gain
The knowledge to be shared
(P-P-P-Pokémon)
In my heart there's no doubt
Of who I want to be
I'm right here, standing strong
The greatest Master of Pokémon
Oh hey!

We all live in a Pokémon world
(Po-ké-mon)
I wanna be the greatest Master of them all!
(Greatest Master)
We all live in a Pokémon world

Understand the secrets and
Have some fun!
So you wanna be a Master of
Pokémon!
Do you have the skills to be
Number one!?
