Ah! 新しい 風に吹かれても | Ah! Atarashii kaze ni fukarete mo | Ah! Even though a new wind is blowing |
変わらない おれの夢 | Kawaranai ore no yume | My dream won't change |
そう! ポケモンマスター! | Sō! Pokémon Masutā! | That's right! Pokémon Master! |
まだまだ 世界は ひろいって | Mada mada sekai wa hiroitte | Still a way to go: the world is wide |
地平線が おしえてくれてるよ | Chiheisen ga oshiete kureteru yo | The horizon teaches us to give |
まだまだ ゴールは とおいって | Mada mada gōru wa tōitte | Still a way to go: my goal is far away |
わかると逆に もえちゃうぜ! | Wakaru to gyaku ni moechau ze! | I know it'll burn otherwise! |
まぶしくて おおきくて もえてる | Mabushikute ōkikute moeteru | Dazzling and large it burns |
あの朝日に ひとり誓う | Ano asahi ni hitori chikau | The morning sun, alone I go |
“ぜったい 負けない!” | "Zettai makenai!" | "I absolutely won't lose!" |
Ah! 新しい大地に 立っても | Ah! Atarashii daichi ni tatte mo | Ah! Even in this new land |
変わらない おれの道 | Kawaranai ore no michi | My road won't change |
ララ 風といっしょに! | Rara kaze to issho ni! | La-la, with the wind! |
Ah! あたらしい ライバル 現れても | Ah! Atarashi raibaru arawarete mo | Ah! Even if a new rival appears |
変わらない 好奇心 | Kawaranai kōkishin | My curiosity won't change |
さあ! バトルしようぜ! | Saa! Batoru shiyō ze! | C'mon! Let's battle! |
