Japanese English この 星 の 不思議 な 生 き 物

ポケットモンスター・・・

ちぢめてポケモン！

今 、サトシとポケモンたちの

出会 いと 冒険 と 戦 いの

物語 がはじまる！ The mysterious creatures of this planet

"Pokémon" for short!

Now, the story of Satoshi and Pokémon,

Their meetings, adventures, and battles

Are about to begin!

Synopsis

The song begins featuring Ash and his Kalos team. Then Serena is shown on the pink background, Clemont is shown on the cyan and Bonnie with Dedenne on the yellow. The next scene shows Ash and his friends running on the meadow and looking at Lumiose City. In next scene, Serena dances with her Pokémon in their performance costumes, Clemont, with his Pokémon tries to create a gadget that explodes, and Bonnie is being dragged by Squishy in its 10% form. Ash is then shown with his Greninja reflecting on his battles with Sawyer and Alain. Greninja then walks away from Ash. Ash tries to reach Greninja, only to realize it was only a puddle of water. However, Ash and Greninja's bond grow closer, and Greninja is able to activate a new form. Ash is then seen battling Sawyer and his Mega Sceptile. Though Sceptile has a type advantage, Greninja, in its new form, is able to gain an upper hand and possibly defeated Sceptile. Team Flare, along with Alain and his Mega Charizard X, then appears, wanting to capture Squishy. Squishy, however, changed its form to 10%, 50%, and finally Complete form. Wulfric is then seen in the Pokémon Village. The song ends with the main characters all together in four-colored hexagon background (dark blue for Ash and Pikachu; pink for Serena; yellow for Bonnie, Dedenne and Squishy; and cyan for Clemont).

Japanese English へい！カロスを照らすあの朝日のように

夢の向こうまで Hey! Just like the morning sun shining upon Kalos

(Rush in hot like a Flame Charge)

Come on! Just head on as we're ready anytime

(Be a Protean Mold Breaker)



Our overlapping feelings synchronize

As they become our unfading bonds

Growing stronger until the end

If it's just us, woh woh woh yeah...



Let'z go!! The fiercely burning battle

Let'z go!! Crises are chances

Let'z go!! Do a Reversal

Absolutely never giving up



Let'z go!! Holding tight to our dreams

Let'z go!! We're sure to get them

Let'z go!! Stretch out your hands

Up to the heights unknown



Come on! Raise it up (1,000,000 Volts)

Alright! Let's face our fears and head on together

Towards the side beyond our dreams
