Battle Cry - (Stand Up!) is the opening theme song for the English dub of Pokémon Diamond & Pearl: Galactic Battles. It first aired with the episode DP105 on May 9, 2009. Starting with the airing of DP121 on August 22, 2009, a version with a different set of clips was shown, and ran until DP157. An extended version of the song was used as the opening theme to Arceus and the Jewel of Life.
Sometimes it's hard to know, Which way you're supposed to go. But deep inside, you know you're strong. If you follow your heart, you can't be wrong.
Stand Up! (Stand Up!) For what is right. Be brave! Get ready to fight. Hold On! (Hold On!) We're friends for life. And if we come, together as one. Complete the quests that we've begun. We will win the battle! Galactic Battles! Pokémon!

Among English themes, only Unbeatable had a running change prior to this. However, this remains the only English theme to have two very distinct versions.
Although the opening changed on August 22, 2009, it did not become high definition until the airing of Classroom Training! on October 3, 2009.
