Japanese English 風を感じて　大地と呼吸あわせ Jumpした瞬間 胸に響いた声「キミなら大丈夫！」 振り向けばみんなが　笑っている 追いかけていたい　こんな自由な感じ まぶしい太陽に　手を伸ばして 昨日を見つめて　後戻りした 涙もあったけど　気にしないで 未来へのStepは　続いている 進め！進め！キミと 7色の虹 越えて Ready Go! もっと遠く！ 雲を突き抜け　空へと… I felt the wind, my breath opposing the ground From the moment I jumped A voice in my heart cries, "You'll be okay!" When I turn around everyone is laughing I want to chase that sort of feeling of freedom And reach my hand toward the blazing sun When I look back on yesterday There were tears, but I don't care I'll take a step toward the future Advance! Advance! Going over the seven-colored rainbow with you Ready Go! Farther! Breaking through the clouds and into the sky...

Advance! I'm going over the seven-colored rainbow with you Ready Go! Let's go! With overflowing emotions! If I try to put them into words The goals that I call "dreams" seem like they'll disappear On the days when I'm at a standstill, and on the nights when the rain is beating me down We're connected by an invisible power Farewells aren't sad events So let's wave goodbye with a smile and start walking Embrace the sky that fills your heart, and trust it Remember, the map to the future is right here! Advance! Advance! I'm going over the seven-colored rainbow with you Ready Go! Let's go! Until I grasp it tightly with my hand I want to chase that sort of feeling of freedom Like a star racing through the galaxy Aim for the heart-moving light, just leap into it Look forward and continue to step towards the future Advance! Advance! I'm going over the seven-colored rainbow with you Ready Go! Let's go! With overflowing emotions! Advance! Advance! I'm going over the seven-colored rainbow with you Ready Go! Farther! Breaking through the clouds and into the sky...

Trivia

All eleven Legendary and Mythical Pokémon

• All eleven Legendary and Mythical Pokémon as of Generation II are featured.
• During the shot that depicts Ash standing beside all of the Legendary and Mythical Pokémon, he is seen holding the Fast Ball that he received from Kurt, even though he has never used it.
• Many of Ash's Pokémon that returned for the Silver Conference had been hinted to do just that in this opening—all but Squirtle, Muk, and Tauros. Interestingly, Kingler was eventually replaced by Squirtle in its relevant League battle.
• This is the first opening theme not to be used in a Pokémon movie. In the fifth movie, a remix of Aim to Be a Pokémon Master was used instead.
• An edited version of the opening theme featuring a recolored Jynx is available on Prime Video in Japan.
