the shot of {{p|Lucario}} and {{p|Mew}} is replaced with [[AG100|a clip]] of {{AP|Pikachu}} using {{m|Iron Tail}}.<br /> <br /> This is the first dub opening to have a running change to it as its tenure progressed. The reason for this is that the inclusion of animation from [[Battle Frontier (Japanese song)|the Japanese opening]] revealed three new Pokémon to western audiences: {{p|Mime Jr.}}, {{p|Weavile}} and {{p|Lucario}}. The former two did not even have official English names yet at the time, while on top of that, Mime Jr. was not captured by [[James]] until [[S09|the following season]].<br /> <br /> Mime Jr. is simply painted out of the scene. Weavile, on the other hand, is removed by replacing the frames in which it appears with others from the same sequence, thus slightly changing the way Team Rocket dances. A particular frame, however, was created from scratch by mixing three different shots (the original one, plus one for Wobbuffet and one for James's upper body, as both of them were obscured by Weavile in the original), as shown below.<br /> <br /> &lt;gallery&gt;<br /> File:Unbeatable - Weavile.png|From [[AG093]] to [[AG100]]<br /> File:Unbeatable - No Weavile.png|From [[AG101]] to [[AG145]]<br /> File:Battle Frontier - Mew and Lucario.png|From [[AG093]] to [[AG100]]<br /> File:Unbeatable - Iron Tail.png|From [[AG101]] to [[AG145]]<br /> &lt;/gallery&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Video==<br /> {{YouTubeEmbed|fhk77O165a0|Pokémon|color=99F|colordark=F77|colorlight=F77}}<br /> <br /> ==Trivia==<br /> * This opening has the most Pokémon species in it, with 72.<br /> ** Also, this opening has the most Pokémon in it, counting the same species.

This is because it uses footage from the first variant of {{OBP|Battle Frontier|Japanese song|the Japanese opening}}, which had the Frontier Brains revealed in the sequence as they debuted in the episodes themselves.<br /> ** Coincidentally, Noland is the only Frontier Brain to appear in [[S08|Advanced Battle]], while the others did not appear until the [[S09|next season]].<br /> * The first version of the dub opening was the first one not to use any episode clips.<br /> * Pokémon TV still features Lucario and Mew in the opening of every episode as Pikachu using Iron Tail was shown a split second.<br /> * Ash's Corphish's orange Bubble Beam effect was shown in the intro, but doesn't happened in every episode until the following season. <br /> * A karaoke version of the song was released on the {{pmin|Germany|German}} {{de|Anime Hits 5 (CD)|Anime Hits 5}} CD.<br /> * This is the last [[dub]] opening theme song to have a runtime of 1 minute in its TV version.<br /> ===Errors===<br /> *During the scenes with the individual [[Frontier Brain]]s, [[Lucy]]'s shadow can be seen for a split second before [[Spenser]]'s shadow, after Lucy had already appeared.<br /> <br /> ==In other languages==<br /> {{Epilang|color=9999FF|bordercolor=FF7777<br /> |da={{DL|List of Danish Pokémon themes|Uovervindelig}} &lt;small&gt;''Invincible''&lt;/small&gt;<br /> |nl={{DL|List of Dutch Pokémon themes|Onoverwinnelijk}} &lt;small&gt;''Unbeatable''&lt;/small&gt;<br /> |fi={{DL|List of Finnish Pokémon themes|Oon voittamaton}} &lt;small&gt;''I'm invincible''&lt;/small&gt;<br /> |fr={{DL|List of French Pokémon themes|Invincible}} &lt;small&gt;''Unbeatable''&lt;/small&gt;<br /> |de={{DL|List of German Pokémon themes|Wir werden Sieger sein}} &lt;small&gt;''We will be Winner''&lt;/small&gt;<br /> |he=הכי טוב בעולם {{tt|''hakhi tov baolam''|The Best in the World}}<br /> |hi={{DL|List of Hindi Pokémon themes|Main Hoon Unbeatable (CN dub)|मैं हूँ अनबीटेबल्}} ''{{tt|Main Hoon Unbeatable|I'm Unbeatable}}''{{tt|*|CN Dub TV version}}&lt;br&gt;{{DL|List of Hindi Pokémon themes|Sikandar (Movie version)|मैं हूँ सिकंदर}} ''{{tt|Main Hoon Sikandar|I'm a Master}}''{{tt|*|CN Dub Movie version}}&lt;br&gt;{{DL|List of Hindi Pokémon themes|Jeetun Main Hi Sada (Disney dub)|जीतूँ मैं ही सदा}} ''{{tt|Jeetu Main Hi Sada| I Will Always Win}}''{{tt|*|Disney XD dub}}<br /> |ta={{DL|List of Tamil Pokémon themes|Jaithukaatuvom (CN dub)|ஜெய்துகாட்டுவோம்}} ''{{tt|Jaithukaatuvom|We Will Win This}}''{{tt|*|CN Dub}}&lt;br&gt;{{DL|List of Tamil Pokémon themes|Naan Tholviyattravan (Disney dub)|நான் தோல்வியற்றவன்}} ''{{tt|Naan Tholviyattravan|I Am Successful}}''{{tt|*|Disney Dub}}<br /> |te={{DL|List of Telugu Pokémon themes|Gelechi Chupista (CN Dub)|గెలిచి చూపిస్తా}} ''{{tt|Gelechi Chupista|I Will Win And Show}}''{{tt|*|CN Dub}}&lt;br&gt;{{DL|List of Telugu Pokémon themes|Edhureledhule (Disney Dub)|ఎదురెలెదులే}} ''{{tt|Edhureledhule|I'm Unbeatable}}''{{tt|*|Disney Dub}}<br /> |it={{DL|List of Italian Pokémon themes|Sono invincibile}} &lt;small&gt;''I'm invincible''&lt;/small&gt;<br /> |no={{DL|List of Norwegian Pokémon themes|Uovervinnelig!}} &lt;small&gt;''Invincible!''&lt;/small&gt;<br /> |pt_br={{DL|List of Brazilian Portuguese Pokémon themes|Invencível}} &lt;small&gt;''I'm Invincible''&lt;/small&gt;<br /> |pt_eu={{DL|List of European Portuguese Pokémon themes|Sou Imbatível}} &lt;small&gt;''I'm Unbeatable''&lt;/small&gt;<br /> |ru={{DL|List of Russian Pokémon themes|Непобедимый}} &lt;small&gt;''Unbeatable''&lt;/small&gt;<br /> |es_la={{DL|List of Latin American Pokémon themes|Invencible soy}} &lt;small&gt;''I'm Unbeatable''&lt;/small&gt;<br /> |es_eu={{DL|List of European Spanish Pokémon themes|Invencible soy}} &lt;small&gt;''I'm Unbeatable''&lt;/small&gt;<br /> |sv={{DL|List of Swedish Pokémon themes|Jag är oslagbar}} &lt;small&gt;''I am unbeatable''&lt;/small&gt;<br /> }}<br /> <br /> {{English Opening Themes}}<br /> <br /> {{PrevNext|<br /> prev=This Dream |<br /> nextlink=Battle Frontier (English song) |<br /> next=Battle Frontier |<br /> list=English opening themes |<br /> colorscheme=Hoenn}}<br /> <br /> {{Project Music notice}}<br /> [[Category:English opening themes]]<br /> <br /> [[de:Wir werden Sieger sein]]<br /> [[es:OP08]]<br /> [[fr:Invincible]]<br /> [[it:Sono invincibile]]</div>

Another arrangement made to commemorate the series's 25th anniversary titled '''Aim to Be a Pokémon Master -with my friends-''' (Japanese: '''めざせポケモンマスター -with my friends-''' ''Mezase Pokémon Master -with my friends-'') replaced [[One, Two, Three]] as the second and final opening theme of {{aniseries|JN}}.<br /> <br /> A verse from this song was featured in the third opening theme of {{aniseries|RS}}, [[Pokémon Symphonic Medley]], and a synthesized version was used during captures and [[Evolution]]s in [[Pokémon Pinball]].

The three fully evolved [[Kanto first partner Pokémon]], {{AP|Pikachu}}, {{Ash}}, and an unnamed {{tc|Lass}} are seen. This is followed by three scenes showing random [[Generation I]] Pokémon.<br /> <br /> Ash is then seen with a {{i|Poké Ball}}. After that, he is riding on the back of a {{p|Lapras}} with Pikachu while a {{p|Gyarados}} and {{p|Dragonair}} are seen jumping out and in the water. Next, Ash and Pikachu are looking at [[Pallet Town]]. It cuts to a scene with them walking, and then Ash throws a Poké Ball with a {{AP|Pidgeot}} inside. The Pokémon then begins battling with a {{p|Fearow}}.<br /> <br /> Ash appears looking at the screen, when {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} appear on either side of him. This is followed by [[Jessie]] and [[James]] rising up in front of them. {{TP|James|Koffing}}, {{MTR}}, and {{TP|Jessie|Ekans}} jump up next, followed by {{Gary}} holding a Poké Ball. Ash and {{ashfr}} are seen running from the rain. This is followed by a short clip of [[Nurse Joy]], {{an|Professor Oak}}, [[Officer Jenny]] and [[Delia Ketchum]].<br /> <br /> The next scene shows Ash and his friends in [[Viridian Forest]]. Then, Ash and Pikachu are seen running with an {{p|Arcanine}} and a {{p|Rapidash}}. The latter Pokémon jumps up, and the three [[legendary birds]] are seen flying in the sky. A clip of {{p|Mewtwo}} and {{p|Mew}} in space is shown, followed by Ash in a stadium holding a Poké Ball.

The Poké Ball opens, transitioning to the series logo followed by {{AP|Pikachu}} fighting a {{p|Tyranitar}}. Pikachu dodges the Tyranitar's {{m|Hyper Beam}} and uses {{m|Thunderbolt}}. Ash and his friends are then seen jumping into the water. Various Pokémon are seen swimming by, such as {{p|Mantine}}, {{p|Lanturn}}, {{p|Lapras}}, and {{p|Lugia}}. Ash turns his hat and holds a [[Poké Ball]] towards the screen, while the camera turns towards his side view.<br /> <br /> Ash and Pikachu are running across a field with a {{p|Ho-Oh}} flying in the background. He then looks at a stadium and clips of his Pokémon attacking appear on the screen: {{AP|Cyndaquil}} uses {{m|Flamethrower}}, {{AP|Totodile}} uses {{m|Water Gun}}, {{AP|Bayleef}} uses {{m|Razor Leaf}}, and {{AP|Noctowl}} uses {{m|Foresight}}. Then, Ash and his friends have a view of the city.<br /> <br /> The [[legendary beasts]] are seen using attacks: {{p|Entei}} uses {{m|Flamethrower}}, {{p|Raikou}} uses {{m|Thunder}}, and {{p|Suicune}} uses {{m|Thunder}}. {{p|Celebi}} flies in front of the legendary beasts. {{p|Mewtwo}} is then seen in a city looking towards the moon, with {{p|Mew}} flying in front of it. <br /> <br /> Ash and the others are then shown walking into a cave where {{p|Crobat}} and {{p|Misdreavus}} appear. Ash and the others stand at a bridge with {{p|Hoppip}} floating above them. Then, the [[Pichu Brothers]] are shown running below the bridge. After that, a scene of Ash chasing after his Pokémon is shown, followed by {{TRT}} chasing after Ash and his friends, and finally, Ash and his friends chasing after Team Rocket with {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} using {{m|Metronome}} in front.<br /> <br /> {{p|Igglybuff}}, {{p|Smoochum}}, {{p|Magby}}, and {{p|Cleffa}} appear with [[Nurse Joy]], [[Delia Ketchum]], [[Tracey Sketchit|Tracey]], {{an|Professor Oak}}, and [[Officer Jenny]] behind them. {{p|Larvitar}} then appears in front of all of them. Ash and Pikachu are then seen running up a flight of stairs in space together with the [[legendary birds]]. They reach a colosseum, where Ash and Pikachu stand confidently in front of many Pokémon. Ash makes a valiant gesture towards the sky while Pikachu jumps happily. The camera zooms out to show Ash with his friends and Pokémon.<br /> <br /> ===Characters===<br /> ====Humans====<br /> * [[Ash Ketchum]]<br /> * {{an|Misty}}<br /> * {{an|Brock}}<br /> * [[Tracey Sketchit]]<br /> * [[Jessie]]<br /> * [[James]]<br /> * {{an|Professor Oak}}<br /> * [[Delia Ketchum]]<br /> * [[Officer Jenny]]<br /> * [[Nurse Joy]]<br /> <br /> ====Pokémon====<br /> * {{p|Pikachu}} ({{OP|Ash|Pikachu}})<br /> * {{p|Meowth}} ({{TRM}})<br /> * {{p|Togepi}} ({{OP|Misty|Togepi}})<br /> * {{p|Wobbuffet}} ({{OP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}})<br /> * {{p|Bulbasaur}} ({{OP|Ash|Bulbasaur}})<br /> * {{p|Bayleef}} ({{OP|Ash|Bayleef}})<br /> * {{p|Cyndaquil}} ({{OP|Ash|Cyndaquil}})<br /> * {{p|Totodile}} ({{OP|Ash|Totodile}})<br /> * {{p|Noctowl}} ({{OP|Ash|Noctowl}};

''Batoru Furontia'') is the fourth Japanese opening theme of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]''.<br /> <br /> It debuted in [[AG135]], replacing [[Pokémon Symphonic Medley]]. Its singer, [[Akina Takaya]], is a relatively unknown artist. It debuted at the same time as a new ending, [[Pokémon Counting Song]]. The instruments-only version replaced the instrumental version of [[Advance Adventure]] in AG135 in the Japanese preview of the next episode. It was replaced by [[Spurt!]] in [[AG166]]. It was also used as the opening theme of ''[[M08|Mew and the Wave Hero: Lucario]]'' in a different arrangement called ''Battle Frontier (Movie version)''.<br /> <br /> It was also used as the [[Pokémon Sunday]] ending from PS053 to PS059 and was then replaced by [[YEAH!]].<br /> <br /> ==Opening animation==<br /> ===OP text===<br /> {{Schemetable|Frontier}}<br /> ! Japanese<br /> ! English<br /> |-<br /> | lang=&quot;ja&quot; | &lt;ab&gt;この星の不思議な生き物<br /> ポケットモンスター…<br /> ちぢめてポケモン！<br /> 今、少年サトシとポケモンたちの<br /> 出会いと冒険と戦いの物語が<br /> はじまる！&lt;/ab&gt;<br /> | &lt;ab&gt;The mysterious creatures of this planet<br /> Pocket Monsters...<br /> &quot;Pokémon&quot; for short!<br /> Now, the story of a boy, {{tt|Satoshi|Ash}}, and Pokémon<br /> Their meetings, adventures, and battles<br /> Are about to begin!&lt;/ab&gt;<br /> |}<br /> |}<br /> <br /> ===Synopsis===<br /> The [[Symbol|Frontier Symbols]] are sucked into the [[Battle Frontier (Generation III)|Battle Frontier]] logo, similar to a black hole. The logo then evaporates, emitting a white light. The Brave Symbol moves across the screen, revealing the series logo.<br /> <br /> {{Ash}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} are in a field running toward the sun. After jumping towards the sun, the gang are seen in a forest. {{an|Brock}} is cooking with {{TP|May|Munchlax}} nearby, [[Max]] is playing with {{TP|May|Squirtle}}, Ash and the rest of the group's Pokémon are relaxing, and {{an|May}} is sitting behind a tree, crying. [[Delia Ketchum]], [[Mimey]], {{an|Professor Oak}}, [[Professor Birch]], {{Tracey}}, and {{an|Misty}} holding an {{TP|Misty|Azurill}} are shown from bottom to top, smiling and posing.<br /> <br /> Ash's Pokémon are seen using their attacks. {{AP|Corphish}} uses {{m|Bubble Beam}}, {{AP|Phanpy}} uses {{m|Rollout}}, {{AP|Grovyle}} uses {{m|Leaf Blade}}, and {{AP|Swellow}} uses {{m|Aerial Ace}}, flying in front of the sun. Pikachu then appears and uses {{m|Thunder}}. A still of Ash and his Pokémon smiling and posing is shown. Scott appears in his car and waves.<br /> <br /> The first six Frontier Brains appear one by one, in their regular or silhouette form. More silhouettes are revealed in later episodes. All the Frontier Brains are then shown in front of a fiery background with the Battle Frontier logo. Ash commands Pikachu to fight against them.<br /> <br /> Brock is cooking food, while cutouts of Max playing with Brock's Pokémon are shown in front. May tosses a [[Poké Ball]] towards the screen, while a split screen of [[Drew]] and [[Harley]] appear behind her, and her own Pokémon in cutout form play in front of her. {{TRT}} are shown dancing with their Pokémon. In earlier versions, a {{p|Weavile}} passes by in front of them, surprising the trio and their Pokémon.<br /> <br /> The next scene has two variations. In the first version, a {{p|Mew}} happily flies by a {{p|Lucario}} sleeping on a tree, in promotion of ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]''. The second version features scenes based on the boxart illustrations of [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]], ending with a shadowy {{p|Charizard}} face looking towards the screen.<br /> <br /> Ash and the gang pose together in the ending scene, appearing one by one as silhouettes before appearing in color.<br /> <br /> ====Pokémon Sunday ending animation====<br /> The first animation sequence in this version is {{Ash}}, {{an|May}}, and {{an|Brock}} calling out their Pokémon to attack. Those Pokémon are {{TP|May|Combusken}}, {{AP|Grovyle}}, and {{TP|Brock|Mudkip}}.<br /> <br /> The next group of animations are the same as in the main opening (Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}} running through the field, through the pan shot of Ash and all of his Pokémon). However, the differences in these animations are that ending credits replace the ones used in the opening. Also, the scene of [[Scott]] waving while driving past is replaced by a pan shot of all of the [[Frontier Brains]]. The animation sequence following this include portions of the first Frontier Brain battle between Ash and [[Noland]], which involved {{AP|Charizard}} and Noland's {{p|Articuno}}. After this, the normal animations resume, starting from the sequence involving Brock chopping up lettuce and cooking rice, and May throwing a {{i|Poké Ball}}. The {{TRT}} sequence prior to [[AG152]] (with {{p|Weavile}}) remains intact. This is followed by the {{p|Mew}} and {{p|Lucario}} flyby animation, as was the case in the first version of this opening.

''Batoru Furontia'') is the fourth Japanese opening theme of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]''.<br /> <br /> It debuted in [[AG135]], replacing [[Pokémon Symphonic Medley]]. Its singer, [[Akina Takaya]], is a relatively unknown artist. It debuted at the same time as a new ending, [[Pokémon Counting Song]]. The instruments-only version replaced the instrumental version of [[Advance Adventure]] in AG135 in the Japanese preview of the next episode. It was replaced by [[Spurt!]] in [[AG166]]. It was also used as the opening theme of ''[[M08|Mew and the Wave Hero: Lucario]]'' in a different arrangement called ''Battle Frontier (Movie version)''.<br /> <br /> It was also used as the [[Pokémon Sunday]] ending from PS053 to PS059 and was then replaced by [[YEAH!]].<br /> <br /> ==Opening animation==<br /> ===OP text===<br /> {{Schemetable|Frontier}}<br /> ! Japanese<br /> ! English<br /> |-<br /> | lang=&quot;ja&quot; | &lt;ab&gt;この星の不思議な生き物<br /> ポケットモンスター…<br /> ちぢめてポケモン！<br /> 今、少年サトシとポケモンたちの<br /> 出会いと冒険と戦いの物語が<br /> はじまる！&lt;/ab&gt;<br /> | &lt;ab&gt;The mysterious creatures of this planet<br /> Pocket Monsters...<br /> &quot;Pokémon&quot; for short!<br /> Now, the story of a boy, {{tt|Satoshi|Ash}}, and Pokémon<br /> Their meetings, adventures, and battles<br /> Are about to begin!&lt;/ab&gt;<br /> |}<br /> |}<br /> <br /> ===Synopsis===<br /> The [[Symbol|Frontier Symbols]] are sucked into the [[Battle Frontier (Generation III)|Battle Frontier]] logo, similar to a black hole. The logo then evaporates, emitting a white light. The Brave Symbol moves across the screen, revealing the series logo.<br /> <br /> {{Ash}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} are in a field running toward the sun. After jumping towards the sun, the gang are seen in a forest. {{an|Brock}} is cooking with {{TP|May|Munchlax}} nearby, [[Max]] is playing with {{TP|May|Squirtle}}, Ash and the rest of the group's Pokémon are relaxing, and {{an|May}} is sitting behind a tree, crying. [[Delia Ketchum]], [[Mimey]], {{an|Professor Oak}}, [[Professor Birch]], {{Tracey}}, and {{an|Misty}} holding an {{TP|Misty|Azurill}} are shown from bottom to top, smiling and posing.<br /> <br /> Ash's Pokémon are seen using their attacks. {{AP|Corphish}} uses {{m|Bubble Beam}}, {{AP|Phanpy}} uses {{m|Rollout}}, {{AP|Grovyle}} uses {{m|Leaf Blade}}, and {{AP|Swellow}} uses {{m|Aerial Ace}}, flying in front of the sun. Pikachu then appears and uses {{m|Thunder}}. A still of Ash and his Pokémon smiling and posing is shown. Scott appears in his car and waves.<br /> <br /> The first six Frontier Brains appear one by one, in their regular or silhouette form. More silhouettes are revealed in later episodes. All the Frontier Brains are then shown in front of a fiery background with the Battle Frontier logo. Ash commands Pikachu to fight against them.<br /> <br /> Brock is cooking food, while cutouts of Max playing with Brock's Pokémon are shown in front. May tosses a [[Poké Ball]] towards the screen, while a split screen of [[Drew]] and [[Harley]] appear behind her, and her own Pokémon in cutout form play in front of her. {{TRT}} are shown dancing with their Pokémon. In earlier versions, a {{p|Weavile}} passes by in front of them, surprising the trio and their Pokémon.<br /> <br /> The next scene has two variations. In the first version, a {{mov|Mew|Mew|08}} happily flies by a {{OBP|Lucario|M08}} sleeping on a tree, in promotion of ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]''. The second version features scenes based on the boxart illustrations of [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]], ending with a shadowy {{p|Charizard}} face looking towards the screen.<br /> <br /> Ash and the gang appear in the ending scene, one by one as silhouettes before appearing in color, posing together.<br /> <br /> ====Pokémon Sunday ending animation====<br /> The first animation sequence in this version is {{Ash}}, {{an|May}}, and {{an|Brock}} calling out their Pokémon to attack. Those Pokémon are {{TP|May|Combusken}}, {{AP|Grovyle}}, and {{TP|Brock|Mudkip}}.<br /> <br /> The next group of animations are the same as in the main opening (Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}} running through the field, through the pan shot of Ash and all of his Pokémon). However, the differences in these animations are that ending credits replace the ones used in the opening. Also, the scene of [[Scott]] waving while driving past is replaced by a pan shot of all of the [[Frontier Brains]]. The animation sequence following this include portions of the first Frontier Brain battle between Ash and [[Noland]], which involved {{AP|Charizard}} and Noland's {{p|Articuno}}. After this, the normal animations resume, starting from the sequence involving Brock chopping up lettuce and cooking rice, and May throwing a {{i|Poké Ball}}. The {{TRT}} sequence prior to [[AG152]] (with {{p|Weavile}}) remains intact. This is followed by the {{p|Mew}} and {{p|Lucario}} flyby animation, as was the case in the first version of this opening.

''Batoru Furontia'') is the fourth Japanese opening theme of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]''.<br /> <br /> It debuted in [[AG135]], replacing [[Pokémon Symphonic Medley]]. Its singer, [[Akina Takaya]], is a relatively unknown artist. It debuted at the same time as a new ending, [[Pokémon Counting Song]]. The instruments-only version replaced the instrumental version of [[Advance Adventure]] in AG135 in the Japanese preview of the next episode. It was replaced by [[Spurt!]] in [[AG166]]. It was also used as the opening theme of ''[[M08|Mew and the Wave Hero: Lucario]]'' in a different arrangement called ''Battle Frontier (Movie version)''.<br /> <br /> It was also used as the [[Pokémon Sunday]] ending from PS053 to PS059 and was then replaced by [[YEAH!]].<br /> <br /> ==Opening animation==<br /> ===OP text===<br /> {{Schemetable|Frontier}}<br /> ! Japanese<br /> ! English<br /> |-<br /> | lang=&quot;ja&quot; | &lt;ab&gt;この星の不思議な生き物<br /> ポケットモンスター…<br /> ちぢめてポケモン！<br /> 今、少年サトシとポケモンたちの<br /> 出会いと冒険と戦いの物語が<br /> はじまる！&lt;/ab&gt;<br /> | &lt;ab&gt;The mysterious creatures of this planet<br /> Pocket Monsters...<br /> &quot;Pokémon&quot; for short!<br /> Now, the story of a boy, {{tt|Satoshi|Ash}}, and Pokémon<br /> Their meetings, adventures, and battles<br /> Are about to begin!&lt;/ab&gt;<br /> |}<br /> |}<br /> <br /> ===Synopsis===<br /> The [[Symbol|Frontier Symbols]] are sucked into the [[Battle Frontier (Generation III)|Battle Frontier]] logo, similar to a black hole. The logo then evaporates, emitting a white light. The Brave Symbol moves across the screen, revealing the series logo.<br /> <br /> {{Ash}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} are in a field running toward the sun. After jumping towards the sun, the gang are seen in a forest. {{an|Brock}} is cooking with {{TP|May|Munchlax}} nearby, [[Max]] is playing with {{TP|May|Squirtle}}, Ash and the rest of the group's Pokémon are relaxing, and {{an|May}} is sitting behind a tree, crying. [[Delia Ketchum]], [[Mimey]], {{an|Professor Oak}}, [[Professor Birch]], {{Tracey}}, and {{an|Misty}} holding an {{TP|Misty|Azurill}} are shown from bottom to top, smiling and posing.<br /> <br /> Ash's Pokémon are seen using their attacks. {{AP|Corphish}} uses {{m|Bubble Beam}}, {{AP|Phanpy}} uses {{m|Rollout}}, {{AP|Grovyle}} uses {{m|Leaf Blade}}, and {{AP|Swellow}} uses {{m|Aerial Ace}}, flying in front of the sun. Pikachu then appears and uses {{m|Thunder}}. A still of Ash and his Pokémon are shown, smiling and posing. Scott appears in his car and waves. <br /> <br /> The first six Frontier Brains appear one by one, in their regular or silhouette form. More silhouettes are revealed in later episodes. All the Frontier Brains are then shown in front of a fiery background with the Battle Frontier logo. Ash commands Pikachu to fight against them.<br /> <br /> Brock is cooking food, while cutouts of Max playing with Brock's Pokémon are shown in front. May tosses a [[Poké Ball]] towards the screen, while a split screen of [[Drew]] and [[Harley]] appear behind her, and her own Pokémon in cutout form play in front of her. {{TRT}} are shown dancing with their Pokémon. In earlier versions, a {{p|Weavile}} passes by in front of them, surprising the trio and their Pokémon.<br /> <br /> The next scene has two variations. In the first version, a {{mov|Mew|Mew|08}} happily flies by a {{OBP|Lucario|M08}} sleeping on a tree, in promotion of ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]''. The second version features scenes based on the boxart illustrations of [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]], ending with a shadowy {{p|Charizard}} face looking towards the screen.<br /> <br /> Ash and the gang appear in the ending scene, one by one as silhouettes before appearing in color, posing together.<br /> <br /> ====Pokémon Sunday ending animation====<br /> The first animation sequence in this version is {{Ash}}, {{an|May}}, and {{an|Brock}} calling out their Pokémon to attack. Those Pokémon are {{TP|May|Combusken}}, {{AP|Grovyle}}, and {{TP|Brock|Mudkip}}.<br /> <br /> The next group of animations are the same as in the main opening (Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}} running through the field, through the pan shot of Ash and all of his Pokémon). However, the differences in these animations are that ending credits replace the ones used in the opening. Also, the scene of [[Scott]] waving while driving past is replaced by a pan shot of all of the [[Frontier Brains]]. The animation sequence following this include portions of the first Frontier Brain battle between Ash and [[Noland]], which involved {{AP|Charizard}} and Noland's {{p|Articuno}}. After this, the normal animations resume, starting from the sequence involving Brock chopping up lettuce and cooking rice, and May throwing a {{i|Poké Ball}}. The {{TRT}} sequence prior to [[AG152]] (with {{p|Weavile}}) remains intact. This is followed by the {{p|Mew}} and {{p|Lucario}} flyby animation, as was the case in the first version of this opening. Unlike the original ending though, the group silhouette is replaced with the Frontier Brain reveal.<br /> <br /> ===Characters===<br /> ====Humans====<br /> * {{Ash}}<br /> * {{an|Misty}}<br /> * {{an|May}}<br /> * {{an|Brock}}<br /> * {{Tracey}}<br /> * [[Max]]<br /> * [[Jessie]]<br /> * [[James]]<br /> * [[Drew]]<br /> * {{an|Professor Oak}}<br /> * [[Delia Ketchum]]<br /> * [[Professor Birch]]<br /> * [[Scott]]<br /> * [[Harley]]<br /> * [[Noland]]<br /> * [[Greta]]<br /> * [[Tucker]]<br /> * [[Lucy]]<br /> * [[Spenser]]<br /> * [[Anabel]] (silhouette)<br /> * {{an|Brandon}} (silhouette)<br /> <br /> ====Pokémon====<br /> * {{p|Pikachu}} ({{OP|Ash|Pikachu}}) <br /> * {{p|Meowth}} ({{TRM}})<br /> * {{p|Wobbuffet}} ({{OP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}})<br /> * {{p|Chimecho}} ({{OP|James|Chimecho}})<br /> * {{p|Mime Jr.}} ({{OP|James|Mime Jr.}})<br /> * {{p|Charizard}} ({{OP|Ash|Charizard}}; [[Pokémon Sunday]] Variant)<br /> * {{p|Phanpy}} ({{OP|Ash|Phanpy}})<br /> * {{p|Donphan}} ({{OP|Ash|Donphan}})<br /> * {{p|Swellow}} ({{OP|Ash|Swellow}})<br /> * {{p|Grovyle}} ({{OP|Ash|Grovyle}})<br /> * {{p|Sceptile}} ({{OP|Ash|Sceptile}})<br /> * {{p|Corphish}} ({{OP|Ash|Corphish}}) <br /> * {{p|Azurill}} ({{OP|Misty|Azurill}}) <br /> * {{p|Combusken}} ({{OP|May|Combusken}})<br /> * {{p|Munchlax}} ({{OP|May|Munchlax}})<br /> * {{p|Squirtle}} ({{OP|May|Squirtle}})<br /> * {{p|Eevee}} ({{OP|May|Eevee}})<br /> * {{p|Forretress}} ({{OP|Brock|Forretress}})<br /> * {{p|Mudkip}} ({{OP|Brock|Mudkip}})<br /> * {{p|Marshtomp}} ({{OP|Brock|Marshtomp}})<br /> * {{p|Bonsly}} ({{OP|Brock|Bonsly}})<br /> * {{p|Seviper}} ({{OP|Jessie|Seviper}})<br /> * {{p|Dustox}} ({{OP|Jessie|Dustox}})<br /> * {{p|Cacnea}} ({{OP|James|Cacnea}})<br /> * {{p|Mr. Mime}} ({{Delia}}'s; [[Mimey]])<br /> * {{p|Mew}} ([[AG135]]-[[AG151]])<br /> * {{p|Weavile}} ([[AG135]]-[[AG151]])<br /> * {{p|Lucario}} ([[AG135]]-[[AG151]])<br /> * {{p|Gengar}} ([[AG152]]-[[AG165]])<br /> * {{p|Alakazam}} ([[AG152]]-[[AG165]])<br /> * {{p|Tyranitar}} ([[AG152]]-[[AG165]])<br /> * {{p|Murkrow}} ([[AG152]]-[[AG165]])<br /> * {{p|Magnemite}} ([[AG152]]-[[AG165]])<br /> * {{p|Charmander}} ([[AG152]]-[[AG165]])<br /> * {{p|Cyndaquil}} ([[AG152]]-[[AG165]])<br /> * {{p|Torchic}} ([[AG152]]-[[AG165]])<br /> * {{p|Medicham}} ([[AG152]]-[[AG165]])<br /> * {{p|Ekans}} ([[AG152]]-[[AG165]])<br /> * {{p|Charizard}} ([[AG152]]-[[AG165]])<br /> * {{p|Articuno}} ([[Pokémon Sunday]] Variant)<br /> <br /> ==Lyrics==<br /> ===TV size===<br /> {{Schemetable|Frontier}}<br /> !

(Japanese: '''スパート！''' lit. '' Supāto!'') is the fifth and final Japanese opening theme of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]''. It debuted in [[AG166]], replacing {{OBP|Battle Frontier|Japanese song}}, and was last used in [[AG192]], the final episode of ''Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire''.<br /> <br /> It was also used as the [[Pokémon Sunday]] ending from PS074 onwards.<br /> <br /> ==Opening animation==<br /> ===OP text===<br /> {{Schemetable|Frontier}}<br /> ! Japanese<br /> ! English<br /> |-<br /> | lang=&quot;ja&quot; | &lt;ab&gt;この星の不思議な生き物<br /> ポケットモンスター…<br /> ちぢめてポケモン！<br /> 今、少年サトシとポケモンたちの<br /> 出会いと冒険と戦いの物語が<br /> はじまる！&lt;/ab&gt;<br /> | &lt;ab&gt;The mysterious creatures of this planet<br /> Pocket Monsters...<br /> &quot;Pokémon&quot; for short!<br /> Now, the story of a boy, {{tt|Satoshi|Ash}}, and Pokémon<br /> Their meetings, adventures, and battles<br /> Are about to begin!&lt;/ab&gt;<br /> |}<br /> |}<br /> <br /> ===Synopsis===<br /> [[File:OPJ10 May.png|thumb|250px|May and her Pokémon]]<br /> All of {{Ash}}'s Pokémon, including the Pokémon he released, are shown together as silhouettes. Panning shots of all the Pokémon, uncovered, are shown in between. The series logo then appears. All of Ash's Pokémon travel quickly through the air, leaving behind white flash trails.<br /> <br /> Shots of {{an|May}}, [[Drew]], and [[Harley]] appear, while May's Pokémon perform attacks in front of them: {{TP|May|Squirtle}} uses {{m|Ice Beam}}, {{TP|May|Combusken}} uses {{m|Flamethrower}}, and {{TP|May|Munchlax}} uses {{m|Solar Beam}}. After {{TP|May|Eevee}} uses {{m|Shadow Ball}} on its own, May is seen with all of her Pokémon, happily posing in front of an image of the [[Ribbon Cup]].<br /> <br /> Ash and the gang are running in an open field with [[Ash's Larvitar]], {{p|Tyranitar|its mother}}, and [[Ash's Pidgeot]]. They are then seen crossing a log between two cliffs, running along a huge wave with {{TP|Ash|Lapras}} riding on top of it, and falling from the sky, passing through [[Ash's Butterfree]] and the [[Pink Butterfree]]. Then, the first six [[Frontier Brain]]s appear in groups of three. Ash turns around to see all seven Frontier Brains together forming a line to the top, throwing their [[Symbol|Frontier Symbols]].<br /> <br /> Ash's Pokémon are seen battling. {{AP|Donphan}} uses {{m|Hyper Beam}} on an {{p|Arcanine}}, {{AP|Swellow}} uses {{m|Aerial Ace}} on a {{p|Skarmory}}, {{AP|Corphish}} comes out of the water and uses {{m|Bubble Beam}} on a {{p|Gyarados}}, and {{AP|Sceptile}} jumps and uses {{m|Leaf Blade}} on an {{p|Aerodactyl}}. Ash commands {{AP|Pikachu}} to use {{m|Volt Tackle}}. Pikachu runs and uses the move, creating an explosion and causing smoke. {{AP|Aipom}} comes out of the smoke and uses her tail to hit the screen.<br /> <br /> A playing card flips multiple times to show various characters. [[Scott]] represents the ace of spades, {{an|Professor Oak}} and {{Tracey}} represent the jack of clubs, [[Delia Ketchum]] and {{an|Misty}} represent the queen of hearts, and {{TRT}} represent the joker. After Team Rocket is shown, they are seen physically in extravagant costumes. [[James]] is dressed as a juggler with {{TP|James|Mime Jr.}}, [[Jessie]] is dressed as a card dealer, and {{MTR}} is dressed as a magician. The entire card deck then falls on the trio. The trio pops out of the pile in their regular uniforms, confused, as {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} pops out of Meowth's hat.<br /> <br /> The next scene has two variations. The first version features Ash and Pikachu looking towards the [[Battle Pyramid]], while the second version features [[Solana]] and [[Jack Walker]] appearing on screen, twirling their [[Capture Styler]]s and posing.<br /> <br /> Ash and the gang pose together in the ending scene, initially appearing on the screen as quick white flashes.<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ===Characters===<br /> ====Humans====<br /> * {{Ash}}<br /> * {{an|Misty}} (on a card)<br /> * {{an|May}}<br /> * {{an|Brock}}<br /> * {{Tracey}} (on a card)<br /> * [[Max]]<br /> * [[Jessie]]<br /> * [[James]]<br /> * {{an|Professor Oak}} (on a card)<br /> * {{Delia}} (on a card)<br /> * [[Drew]]<br /> * [[Harley]]<br /> * [[Noland]]<br /> * [[Greta]]<br /> * [[Tucker]]<br /> * [[Spenser]]<br /> * [[Lucy]]<br /> * [[Anabel]]<br /> * [[Brandon]]<br /> * [[Scott]] (on a card)<br /> * [[Solana]] ([[AG171]] - [[AG192]])<br /> * [[Jack Walker]] ([[AG171]] - [[AG192]])<br /> <br /> ====Pokémon====<br /> * {{p|Pikachu}} ({{OP|Ash|Pikachu}})<br /> * {{p|Meowth}} ({{TRM}})<br /> * {{p|Wobbuffet}} ({{OP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}})<br /> * {{p|Mime Jr.}} ({{OP|James|Mime Jr.}})<br /> * {{p|Butterfree}} ({{OP|Ash|Butterfree}})<br /> * {{p|Pidgeot}} ({{OP|Ash|Pidgeot}})<br /> * {{p|Bulbasaur}} ({{OP|Ash|Bulbasaur}})<br /> * {{p|Charizard}} ({{OP|Ash|Charizard}})<br /> * {{p|Squirtle}} ({{OP|Ash|Squirtle}})<br /> * {{p|Kingler}} ({{OP|Ash|Kingler}})<br /> * {{p|Primeape}} ({{OP|Ash|Primeape}})<br /> * {{p|Muk}} ({{OP|Ash|Muk}})<br /> * {{p|Tauros}} ({{OP|Ash|Tauros}})<br /> * {{p|Lapras}} ({{OP|Ash|Lapras}})<br /> * {{p|Snorlax}} ({{OP|Ash|Snorlax}})<br /> * {{p|Heracross}} ({{OP|Ash|Heracross}})<br /> * {{p|Bayleef}} ({{OP|Ash|Bayleef}})<br /> * {{p|Cyndaquil}} ({{OP|Ash|Cyndaquil}})<br /> * {{p|Totodile}} ({{OP|Ash|Totodile}})<br /> * {{p|Noctowl}} ({{OP|Ash|Noctowl}}; {{Shiny}})<br /> * {{p|Donphan}} ({{OP|Ash|Donphan}})<br /> * {{p|Larvitar}} ({{OP|Ash|Larvitar}}; unofficial)<br /> * {{p|Swellow}} ({{OP|Ash|Swellow}})<br /> * {{p|Sceptile}} ({{OP|Ash|Sceptile}})<br /> * {{p|Corphish}} ({{OP|Ash|Corphish}})<br /> * {{p|Torkoal}} ({{OP|Ash|Torkoal}})<br /> * {{p|Glalie}} ({{OP|Ash|Glalie}})<br /> * {{p|Aipom}} ({{OP|Ash|Aipom}})<br /> * {{p|Combusken}} ({{OP|May|Combusken}})<br /> * {{p|Beautifly}} ({{OP|May|Beautifly}})<br /> * {{p|Skitty}} ({{OP|May|Skitty}})<br /> * {{p|Bulbasaur}} ({{OP|May|Bulbasaur}})<br /> * {{p|Munchlax}} ({{OP|May|Munchlax}})<br /> * {{p|Squirtle}} ({{OP|May|Squirtle}})<br /> * {{p|Eevee}} ({{OP|May|Eevee}})<br /> * {{p|Butterfree}} ([[Pink Butterfree|Ash's Butterfree's mate]])<br /> * {{p|Tyranitar}} (Larvitar's mother)<br /> * {{p|Arcanine}}<br /> * {{p|Gyarados}}<br /> * {{p|Aerodactyl}}<br /> * {{p|Skarmory}}<br /> &lt;!--<br /> ==Pokémon Sunday ending theme==<br /> ===Synopsis===<br /> <br /> ===Characters===<br /> ====Humans====<br /> <br /> ====Pokémon====--&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Lyrics==<br /> ===TV size===<br /> {{Schemetable|Frontier}}<br /> !
