On the road, far from home,
you don't have, to feel alone.
Brave and strong, together we will be.
It's our destiny!

We will be heroes.
We can change the world if we try!
I go where you go.
Forever friends, you and I!

We will be heroes!

Pokémon!
Another day, another fight
Another chance to make things right (Pokémon!)
We will be strong, the way it should be
Ready for the challenge, you and me!

We will be heroes (Pokémon!)
We can change the world if we try (Darkrai!)
I go where you go (Pokémon!)
Forever friends, you and I (Darkrai!)
We will be heroes

The moment's right, the time has come
For us to stand, together as one
So take my hand and follow me
To give it all for our destiny!

We will be heroes (Pokémon!)

Forever friends, you and I (Darkrai!)
