Born to Be a Winner
From Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.
Born to Be a Winner is the opening theme to the fourth season of the English-language Pokémon dub, Johto League Champions, and the opening theme of Pokémon 4Ever. It was used from EP158 to EP209. Lyrically, it borrows heavily from the original Pokémon Theme.

Lyrics
(Pokémon! Pokémon! Pokémon...)
Let's do it
I wanna be the very best
Like no one ever was (ever was, ever was)
To catch them is my real test
To train them is my cause
My whole life has led to this
Time to test my skills
I know I just can't miss
Gonna show the world
Born to be a winner (Johto!)
Born to be a champion
Born to be a winner
Born to be the very best (Pokémon Johto)
Born to be a winner!
Pokémon!
Every challenge along the way
With courage I will face
I will battle every day
To claim my rightful place
Come with me, the time is right
There's no better team
Arm in arm we'll win the fight
Gonna live our dream
Born to be a winner (Johto!)
Born to be a champion
Born to be a winner
Born be the very best (Pokémon Johto!)
Born to be a winner
Pokémon!
Trivia
- The fact that this theme borrows heavily from the original is similar to how Aim to Be a Pokémon Master, the first Japanese opening theme, was remixed and used as the fourth Japanese opening theme.
