Pikachu (I Choose You) is one of the five songs on Pokémon Karaokémon. It is sung by Élan Rivera from the musical group Johto. The full version of this song can be found on the Totally Pokémon and Pokémon 3: The Ultimate Soundtrack soundtrack CDs. It is also one of the ending songs for the English dub of Pokémon Heroes: Latios & Latias.

In Pokémon Live!, Ash sings this song to declare that Pikachu will be his Pokémon of choice to use against the mystery Gym Leader. While he is singing the song, Team Rocket captures Pikachu from their Magikarp submarine. This version of the song replaces half of the second singing of the chorus and the second verse with an instrumental.

Lyrics

Movie version

Pikachu!
You know that you're the one so
I choose you!
There's no one else that I'd rather
Have here by my side,
And you can help me win this fight,
Because we need to face the challenge that's ahead.

Pikachu!
You know there is no other.
I choose you!
Because you are my brother.
In this game we play,
And if we have to go all day,
So we can leave the other Masters far behind.

Pikachu!
It's you and me!
I choose you!
You and me forever, yeah!
Pikachu!
You and me, yeah!
I choose you!
Yeah, yeah, yeah...

Full version

Pikachu!
You know that you're the one so
I choose you!
There's no one else that I'd rather
Have here by my side,
And you can help me win this fight,
Because we need to face the challenge that's ahead.

Pikachu!
You know there is no other.
I choose you!
Because you are my brother.
In this game we play,
And if we have to go all day,
So we can leave the other Masters far behind.

I've been training all my life
Waiting all this time
For this moment to arrive
And now that it's here
I don't have the fear
'Cause there's nothing left to hide
It's me and you
And there's nothing that we can't do
'Cause in the Pokémon world
Even Masters have to learn
They will always find something new

Pikachu!
You know that you're the one so
I choose you!
There's no one else that I'd rather
Have here by my side,
And you can help me win this fight,
Because we need to face the challenge that's ahead.

Pikachu!
You know there is no other.
I choose you!
Because you are my brother.
In this game we play,
And if we have to go all day,
So we can leave the other Masters far behind.

I will never doubt the dream
As long as you're with me
I know we can reach the top
We're the greatest team
This game has ever seen
And we'll never ever stop

Pikachu!
You know you are the one...
Oh...
There's no one else I'd rather
Have here by my side,
And you can help me win this fight,
Because we need to face the challenge that's ahead.

Pikachu!
It's you and me!
I choose you!
You and me forever, yeah!
Pikachu!
You and me, yeah!
I choose you!
Yeah, yeah, yeah...
