Smile (Japanese: スマイル lit. Sumairu) is the third Japanese ending theme of Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire. It debuted in AG052, replacing Polka O Dolka. A second cut with different lyrics debuted in AG062. It was replaced by Full of Summer!! in AG083. It returned in AG092, using the second cut. It was later replaced by GLORY DAY ~That Shining Day~ in AG099.
Smile is notable in that it was the first ending sequence to be updated whenever one of the main characters caught or evolved one of their Pokémon. Updating opening and ending sequences with team changes became a standard practice during Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire and Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl.

Synopsis
Ash and Pikachu are walking along the riverbank at night in the background, while short clips play in the foreground. Ash is lying against the tree, while Treecko/Grovyle rests on another tree. Pikachu jumps onto Ash's knees, Corphish and Torkoal walks towards Ash, and Taillow/Swellow flies and lands on the tree that Treecko/Grovyle is on. Pikachu jumps onto Ash's hat and onto his shoulders. Ash puts his hat on Pikachu's head and smiles. May joins Ash and Pikachu in the background. May is alone under a lotus leaf, feeling sad. Torchic/Combusken, Skitty and Bulbasaur walk, Beautifly flies toward May. She looks at her Pokémon, wipes off a tear with her finger, and smiles. Max and Brock joins Ash, Pikachu and May in the background. Brock is cooking a wok of soup, while Max, Mudkip, Forretress and Lotad/Lombre looks at him. He takes a sip and nods his head. Max smiles. On a stack of rocks, Jessie, James, Wobbuffet and Chimecho are awake, and Meowth, Seviper, Dustox and Cacnea are sleeping. The short clips end and in the background, the sun rises over the mountain.

こらえきれずに 今流した
君の涙が光って
それでも変わらずに
気ままな風は胸を揺さぶるよ
頑張ることは大切だけど
正直な君の弱さを
隠すためだけにある
強さなら なくていいから
今は見えなくても
確かに君の胸の中にある
何かを信じ抜く強さは
君の笑顔を待ってる
|
The tears you shed now,
Unable to hold them back, are shining
Even so, that doesn't change
The unrestrained wind that moves your heart
It's important to try hard, but
If your strength only exists
To hide your honest weakness,
You're better off without it.
Even if you can't see it now,
It is certainly there in your heart:
The strength to keep believing in something
Awaits your smile.

ひとはみな誰もが 今日をさまよう
ちいさな旅人
時には迷い 時にははぐれ
明日を探してる
傷つくことから 逃げ出して
今日に立ちすくんだとしても
何も無くしてしまうものなど
きっと ないはずさ
今は見えなくても
確かに君の胸の中にある
何かを信じ抜く強さは
君の笑顔を待ってる

All people wander through today,
Little travelers
Sometimes getting lost, sometimes straying
As they search for tomorrow
Escape from being hurt,
Even if you can't move today
There's nothing to lose,
Surely
Even if you can't see it now,
It is certainly there in your heart:
The strength to keep believing in something
Awaits your smile

風を切って又歩き出そう

Even if you can't move today
There's nothing to lose,
Surely
Because we are standing
At the beginning of tomorrow
A step so small, yet important
Will depict your future
Grab hold of something
Your own dirty hands are your medal
Even if you can't see it now
It is certainly there in your heart:
The strength to keep believing in something
Awaits your smile
Let's feel the wind and start walking once again

Trivia
Errors
- The second version of the shot featuring May (used between AG073 and AG081) has a higher transparency level than in the first version. In AG073, the transparency level reverts back to the first version for a split-second. This is corrected in the following episode.
