KOCH Records Title Pokémon World Catalog no.

Pokémon World is the opening theme to the second season of the English-language Pokémon dub, Pokémon: The Adventures in the Orange Islands. It was used from EP084 to EP116. It was written by John Loeffler and John Siegler and was sung by Russell Velázquez. The footage used in the opening is from the second Japanese opening, The Rivals.

A version sung by Youngstown and Nobody's Angel was the opening theme to the second Pokémon movie, The Power of One, and appeared on the movie's soundtrack, Pokémon the Movie 2000. It also was one of the few English Pokémon songs to get its own official single.

A non-lyrical version is featured in the game Pokémon Puzzle League as the theme song for Gary Oak.

Lyrics

So you wanna be the master of Pokémon!
Understand the secrets and have some fun
So you wanna be the master of Pokémon!
Do you have the skills to be number one? (Yeah, Lets do it)

I wanna take the ultimate step
Find the courage to be bold
To risk it all and not forget
The lessons that I hold
I wanna go where no one's been
Far beyond the crowd
To learn the way to take command
Use the power that's in my hand

We all live in a Pokémon world
I wanna be the greatest master of them all
We all live in a Pokémon world
I put myself to the test to be better than all the rest

Every day along the way
I will be prepared (Will be prepared)
With every challenge I will gain
The knowledge to be shared
And in my heart there's no doubt
Of who I want to be
I'm right here, standing strong
The greatest master of Pokémon

We all live in a Pokémon world
I wanna be the greatest master of them all
We all live in a Pokémon world
I put myself to the test to be better than all the rest

So you wanna be a master of Pokémon!
Understand the secrets and have some fun
So you wanna be a master of Pokémon!
Do you have the skills to be number one?

We all live in a Pokémon world, Yeah..... We all live in a Pokémon world...

We all live in a Pokémon world
I wanna be the greatest master of them all
We all live in a Pokémon world
I put myself to the test to be better than all the rest (Yeah, Better than all the rest!)

We all live in a Pokémon world
I wanna be the greatest master of them all
We all live in a Pokémon world
I put myself to the test to be better than all the rest

We all live in a Pokémon world
I wanna be the greatest master of them all
We all live in a Pokémon world
I put myself to the test to be better than all the rest

We all live in a Pokémon world
I wanna be the greatest master of them all
We all live in a Pokémon world
I put myself to the test to be better than all the rest

We all live in a Pokémon world
I wanna be the greatest master of them all
We all live in a Pokémon world
I put myself to the test to be better than all the rest
