Pikachu Records single Title チャレンジャー!! Challenger!! Catalog no. ZMCP-1719
A version with string quartet & piano accompaniment is included on the GLORY DAY single, as well as a piano instrumental version.

Smile (Japanese: スマイル lit. Sumairu) is the fourth ending theme song of the Japanese Advanced Generation Pokémon anime series, and the first ending track that was not composed by Hirokazu Tanaka.

It debuted in Cheer Pressure, and a second cut with different lyrics debuted in Disguise Da Limit. It was replaced by Full of Summer!! in Unfair Weather Friends, but the second cut was used afterwards from Judgment Day! to The Scuffle of Legends.

Smile is notable in that it was the first ending sequence to be updated whenever one of the main characters caught or evolved one of their Pokémon. Updating opening and ending sequences with team changes is now standard practice in the anime.

Lyrics

Japanese	Romaji	English Translation
	Koraekirezu ni ima	They can't be held back now
	Ryuu shita kimi no namida ga hikatte	Your tears that shine
	Soredemo kawarazu ni	And still, you can't change
	Kimama na kaze wa mune wo yusaburu yo	The selfish wind that shakes in your chest
	Ganbaru koto wa taisetsu dakedo	Going for things is important, but
	Shoujiki na kimi no yowasa wo	Honesty is your weakness
	Kakusu tamedakeniaru tsuyosa nara	If you want to just hide
	Nakute ii kara	Because you might not be strong
	Ima wa mienakutemo	Now, even if you can't see it
	Tashika ni kimi no mune no naka ni aru	I'm positive in your heart
	Nanika wo shinji nuku tsuyosa wa	Is the strength to believe in something
	Kimi no egao wo matteru	So I'll wait for your smile
	Hito wa mina daremo ga kyou wo samayou	Today, all the people are wandering
	chiisa na tabibito	Little travelers
	Toki ni wa mayoi toki ni wa hagure	Sometimes led astray, sometimes lost
	Ashita wo sagashiteru	As they search for tomorrow
	Kizutsuku kotokara nigedashite	If you're running away from pain
	Kyou ni tachi sukunda toshitemo	Stand up today, even if you're cowering
	Nanimo nakushite shimau mono nado	There's nothing to lose, If you just do things like that
	Kitto nai hazu sa	I'm sure you won't lose anything
	Ashita no hajimari ni	Because we are standing
	Bokura wa tatteru kara	At the beginning of tomorrow
	Chiisa kutemo daiji na ippo wa	A step so small, yet important
	Kimi no mirai wo egaki dasu yo	Will draw your future
	Nanika wo tsukan da	Grab hold of something
	Sono yogoretate wa kimi no kunshou	Your own dirty hands are your medal
	Ima wa mienakutemo	Now, even if you can't see it
	Tashika ni kimi no mune no naka ni aru	I'm positive in your heart
	Nanika wo shinji nuku tsuyosa wa	Is the strength to believe in something
	Kimi no egao wo matteru	So I'll wait for your smile
