Synopsis

The field

Ash and 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.

Lyrics

Japanese English 振り向いてごらん 君のつけた道が 顔上げてごらん 未来を創るよ 頑張ることに 疲れたときには 空を見上げて 涙を流そう 頬なでる風が きっと言うから 「転んでもいいさ 君は君がすてきさ」 傷つかぬ者に 青空は見えない 迷い歩むたび 生命は輝く 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.

Japanese English 振り向いてごらん 君のつけた道が 顔上げてごらん 未来を創るよ 頑張ることに 疲れたときには 空を見上げて 涙を流そう 頬なでる風が きっと言うから 「転んでもいいさ 君は君がすてきさ」 傷つかぬ者に 青空は見えない 迷い歩むたび 生命は輝く どんな笑顔で 包んであげたら 君の悲しみ 癒せるだろう 雲の隙間から 見える太陽 照らし始めるよ まっすぐなその瞳 みつめてごらん 向かい風の向こうに 描き続けてる 未来が待ってる 歩いて行こう そこに空があるから 傷つかぬ者に 青空は見えない 迷い歩むたび 生命は輝く 振り向いてごらん 君のつけた道が 顔上げてごらん 未来を創るよ 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!
