Synopsis

May throws a Poké Ball, then is shown in a spotlight running with all her Pokémon before they jump into the air and Ash Ketchum, Ash's Pikachu, Brock, and Max appear. She then twirls around before her Squirtle shoots an Ice Beam that reflects various images of May. In the final image, she winks at the camera before Munchlax breaks the ice with a Focus Punch. Then she and her Pokémon are shown running across a field with mountains in the background.

May stands in another spotlight, this time alone, and colored spotlights move around her. Images of her Beautifly, Skitty, Squirtle, and Bulbasaur flash by. She looks up, apparently determined. Images of her Eevee, Munchlax, and Combusken flash by.

May poses as Combusken uses Fire Spin, Eevee uses Shadow Ball, Munchlax uses Solar Beam, Bulbasaur forms a heart with Vine Whip, and Skitty uses Blizzard. An image of Ash, Pikachu, Brock, and Max pans across the screen, then May is seen eating bowls of ramen as the rest look on in awe.

The final image is May with all her Pokémon. Ash, Pikachu, Brock, Max, Drew, Harley, and Team Rocket are pictured in the background.

Japanese English ステージ　オン！ ライトを浴びると　スイッチが入る　 （レッツゴー！！） 自信が半分　半分は不安かも くじけそうな気持ち "きあいパンチ" 入れたら パートナー信じて　ファイナルを目指す 輝いた会場に　こだまする手拍子 盛り上がる歓声に　確かな手ごたえ感じて 私、負けない！　本気モード全開 絶対あきらめはしない　ギリギリまで 明日見つめて　笑っていたいから つぎの一撃で　決めたい リボンをＧＥＴ！　きっと勝つ！ STAGE ON! I bask in the light and the switch is set (LET'S GO!) I'm half confident, half nervous I feel like giving up, but I use Focus Punch I believe in my partner and aim for the finals! In the shining arena, clapping echoes The cheering grows, and I can feel their reactions I won't lose! I'm in full serious mode! I absolutely won't give up until the very end! Because tomorrow, I want to look back and smile I'll decide this with the next hit I'll get the Ribbon! I'm sure I'll win!

Though I'm a bit tired I suppose I feel fulfilled After the match I give my companions a tight hug Regrets from all the losses will be cured by time The new wind blows and shakes my bandanna My dancing heart is turned toward the next competition I've waited for I won't lose! I'm in full energy mode! There cannot be a dream that is never granted, so Someday I want to be a Top Coordinator So I'll try and not lose! I'm sure I'll become self-confident! I won't lose! I'm in full serious mode! I absolutely won't give up until the very end! Someday I want to be a Top Coordinator So I'll try and not lose! I'm sure I'll become self-confident!
