Synopsis

Ash is seen up a path, introducing himself, his partner, Pikachu, and his dream of becoming a Pokémon Master with the series logo appearing moments later. Ash is exhausted and down as his classmates approach him to cheer him up and are all shown with their Pokémon, with Lillie terrified of Ash's Pikachu. Everyone is sliding down the spiral slide, but crash into one another after reaching the bottom and colliding with the Alolan Exeggutor, but get back up and they dance.

A Litten is out in the city but spots Ash, Pikachu, Professor Kukui and Rockruff racing down the street and, upon recognizing him, hits Ash with an Ember attack before leaving. Jessie, James and Meowth are in a forest, but are captured by a Bewear and carried off as a Mimikyu appears. Ash and his friends are marching down the path in a row as Samson Oak tries to join with a dance, but is hit and knocked away by a Komala.

Ash and his classmates command their Pokémon to use moves as Lillie is holding a Pokémon Egg. Out in the forest, Ash attempts and succeeds in capturing a Grubbin. Ash commands Pikachu to run and use Iron Tail on Mimikyu. Pikachu continues running and uses Thunderbolt on Yungoos, Salandit and Rattata, then runs alongside Solgaleo. The scene instantly changes and Ash is with Tapu Koko, who flies off towards the moon and seconds later Lunala flies away from it. Ash and Pikachu use their Z-Move. At the Pokémon School, Ash and Pikachu look at the campus over the balcony in amazement. Ash is sitting on the roof of Professor Kukui's house looking out towards the ocean with Pikachu and Rotom.

Heartbeats firing up, dashing on hot like the brilliant sun (Yeah!) Courage seething through, shining upon us as we aim for the moon (Aye-yee-yah-yee-yah!) Come on, feel the maximum energy with your all From the top of your lungs, Alola!
