Synopsis

Pikachu and the other Pokémon are enjoying themselves at the beach. They are shown brushing their teeth, with Butterfree nearby making a delivery. It changes to them giving each other a bath. Then, they are running on a sunflower field, with Raichu attempting to catch a Butterfree with a net. As Meowth is selling his merchandise in a festival, Marill, and Snubbull are admiring their prizes, while Pikachu and Togepi are eating cotton candy. This is followed by the Pokémon watching the fireworks. It changes to Pikachu and the Water Pokémon swimming underwater. As the sun sets, they are walking happily. It ends with Pikachu, Bulbasaur, Squirtle, and Togepi sleeping in a forest.

Lyrics

Japanese English まるで　えいがの　しゅやくのよう なつのきみたち　ピカピカ　まぶしくて イチ　ニ　サン　シー ニイ　ニ　タノ　シー サン　ニ　ウレ　シー ピカピカ　マブ　シー ただいま！　なつやすみ！　まっさいチュウ！ サンタクロース　こないけど おとしだま　もらえっこないけれど おひなさま　おしいれだけど こいのぼり　およいでないけれど でも！！ なつやすみは　ちきゅうで　いちばんの　イベントなんだ たいようが　こどもたちに　ピカピカの　まほうをかけるのさ きみが　いつかひらく こころの　アルバムに ことしのなつの　かがやきを セーブしておこう ピカピカの　まっさいチュウ！ みんなで　おねがいしてみよう　なつのたいように “ピカピカまほうを　とかないで　いつまでも” しゅくだいいっぱい　あるけれど むしさされ　ポリポリかゆいけど どろんこあそび　おこられるけど ときどきおなかを　こわすけれど でも！！ なつやすみは　むちゅうで　ぼうけんの　まいにちなんだ こどもたちが　あちこちを　たからじまに　かえてしまうのさ きみが　いつかであう みらいの　こどもたちに ことしのなつの　ものがたり きかせてあげよう ピカピカの　まっさいチュウ！ なつやすみを　はつめいした　むかしのだれかさん あなたに“ポケモンノーベルしょう”あげたいんだ みんなで　おねがいしてみよう　なつのたいように “ピカピカまほうを　とかないで　いつまでも” Like the lead part of a movie All of you glitter brightly in the summer One, two, three, four Two, two, so fun Three, two, so happy Glittering brightly Right now! In the midst of! Summer vacation! Santa Claus doesn't come around... We don't receive otoshidama... Ohinasama is packed away... The koinobori aren't swimming... But!! Summer vacation is the greatest event on earth The sun casts a glittering magic on the children In the photo album in your heart That you will someday open up Be sure to save The radiance of this summer In the midst of the glittering! Let's all make a wish to the summer sun: "Never let the glittering magic melt away" There's so much homework... Our bug bites throb and itch... We get in trouble for playing in the mud... Sometimes we get upset stomachs... But!! During summer vacation we're engrossed in a daily adventure Children go around making treasure islands everywhere When you someday meet The children of the future Be sure to tell them The story of this summer In the midst of the glittering! To whoever it was, long ago, that invented summer vacation: We want to give you the "Pokémon Nobel Prize!" Let's all make a wish to the summer sun: "Never let the glittering magic melt away"

Trivia

• In the 2012 Japanese Blu-ray release, Jynx was recolored in the credits due to the controversy surrounding her color scheme.
