Lyrics

Pokémon!
It's a battle, win or lose
It's the friends you make, it's the road you choose

You've got the right stuff
So make your mind up
Find the courage inside of you

If you're strong you'll survive
And you'll keep your dream alive
It's the Battle Frontier
Pokémon!

Be the best you can be
And find your destiny
It's the master plan
The power's in your hand
Pokémon!

You've got the
Strength to win it
So stay in it
If you're smart you can take it all

If you're strong you'll survive
And you'll keep your dream alive
It's the Battle Frontier
Pokémon!

Be the best you can be
And find your destiny
It's the master plan
(It's the master plan!)
The power's in your hand
Pokémon!
