Lyrics

TV version

Po-ké-mon!

Every Trainer has a choice
To listen to that voice inside.
I know the battle may be long,
Winners may have come and gone
I will carry on!

Yeah, this dream will last forever,
And this dream will never die,
We will rise to meet the challenge every time.
(Advanced Challenge)
Yeah, this dream keeps us together,
This shows that you and I
Will be the best that the world's ever seen,
Cause we always will follow this dream!

Po-ké-mon!

Ending version

I will carry on!

Yeah, this dream will last forever,
And this dream will never die,
We will rise to meet the challenge every time.
(Advanced Challenge)
Yeah, this dream keeps us together,
This shows that you and I
Will be the best that the world's ever seen,
Cause we always will follow this dream!

Po-ké-mon!
