| Ah! Atarashii kaze ni fukaretemo | Ah! Even though a new wind is blowing | |
| Kawaranai ore no yume | My dream won't change | |
| Sou! Pokémon MASTER! | That's right! Pokémon Master! | |
| Mada mada sekai wa hiroitte | Still a way to go: the world is wide | |
| Chiheisen ga oshiete kureteru yo | The horizon teaches us to give | |
| Mada mada GOAL wa too itte | Still a way to go: my goal is far away | |
| Wakaru to kyaku ni moechau ze! | I know it'll burn otherwise! | |
| Mabushikute ookikute moeteru | Dazzing and large it burns | |
| Ano asahi ni hitori chikau | The morning sun, alone I go | |
| "Zettai makenai!" | "I absolutely won't lose!" | |
| Ah! Atarashii daichi ni tattemo | Ah! Even in this new land | |
| Kawaranai ore no michi | My road won't change | |
| Rara kaze to issho ni! | La-la, with the wind! | |
| Ah! Atarashi RIVAL arawaretemo | Ah! Even if a new rival appears | |
| Kawaranai kōkishin | My curiosity won't change | |
| Saa! BATTLE shiyou ze! | C'mon! Let's battle! |
