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!

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!

We will rise to meet the challenge every time.
(Advanced Challenge)
Yeah, this dream keeps us together,
This shows that you and I

Cause we always will follow this dream!

And now this battle has begun
The fight's too late to run and hide
And though the ones I face are strong
I'll leap into this fight head on
I will carry on!

Whoa, this dream will last forever
This dream will never die
We will rise to meet the challenge every time.
(Advanced Challenge)
Yeah, this dream will never sever
It will carry us up high
Straight up into the sky like a beam
Because we'll never give up on this dream!

Po-ké-mon!

All though the face's I face are strong
I'll leap into this fight head on
I will carry on! whoa, whoaa

Yeah, this dream will last forever,
(This) 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!
