Lyrics

TV version

You're just a kid on a quest
To be the best of the best
Someday you're destined for power and glory
You know you're up to the test
There's only one way to tell this story

Be a hero!
Be a hero!
All the power is at your command
Face your fears and show you're a hero
The future of the world is in your hand

Pokémon!

Aah aah aah aah aah

You're just a kid on a quest
To be the best of the best
Someday you're destined for power and glory
You know you're up to the test
There's only one way to tell this story

All the power is at your command
Face your fears and show you're a hero
The future of the world is in your hand

You feel it time and again
That something's coming, but
When will be the moment that leads to greatness?
All you need's you and a friend
Together you'll demonstrate what strength is

Be a hero!
