Full of courage, full of energy So interesting, so triumphant With the PokéNavi, we're ready to go!! Sure of win if I go first, unpreparedness is one's worst enemy Willingness, mutual understanding Far away, beyond the sea The setting sun in Minamo City A Double Battle burns tomorrow Advancing faster with Mach Bike!! I want to be excited Our dreams won't sleep In a new town, flourishing friends We'll search for them Everywhere, anytime, a wonderful idea, Side splittingly hilarious, peace and harmony Always, anytime, everyone's smiling Plenty to spare, great talents mature late, Playing it by ear, original intentions It won't all go well If everything goes easy, it's boring Little by little I evolve So I can meet a me that's different than yesterday I want my heart to pound And continue on a new journey The moment shines like a jewel So I'll search for it It won't all go well If everything goes easy, it's boring Close your eyes and feel the wind I'm sure that it's not good to rush things I want to be excited Our dreams won't sleep In a new town, flourishing friends We'll search for them Full of courage, full of energy So interesting, so triumphant!!
