Synopsis
An Alomomola and a Magikarp are swimming underwater. The series logo appears emerging out of the water. Ash, Iris, Cilan, Pikachu, and Axew are on a cruise ship. A Sunflora appears on a sunflower field. It cuts to a scene where Ash and his friends are running and jumping happily with their Pokémon. A field of Bug Pokémon is shown. As the sun rises, Porter is on a cruise ship with Mrs. Ripple's Purrloin and Watchog. Multiple Swanna, Swablu, and Altaria are also seen flying near the ship. Next, Jessie, James, and Meowth are riding in their submarine. A giant Zoroark picks up the submarine and the Team Rocket trio runs off. After that, Chili poses with his Pokémon followed with Cress, Alexa (Professor Juniper in BW123-BW134), and Clair. A comparison of the original design and the redesign of Nurse Joy and Officer Jenny is shown. This is followed with several Ghost Pokémon and Jirachi appearing during the night. As Ash and his friends are looking over the horizon, Mewtwo flies to the sun. Delia and Mimey are at home looking at the sky. Professor Oak and Tracey are doing lab work on Bulbasaur and they look at the sky, too. Pikachu climbs on Ash's shoulder and they smile happily. The opening ends with a group shot of Professor Oak, Clair, Cilan, Ash, Iris, Alexa, Porter, and their Pokémon.
