OP Text

Japanese English この星の不思議な生き物 ポケットモンスター・・・ ちぢめてポケモン！ 今、サトシとポケモンたちの 出会いと冒険と戦いの 物語がはじまる！ The mysterious creatures of this planet Pocket Monsters... "Pokémon" for short! Now, the story of Satoshi and Pokémon, Their meetings, adventures, and battles Are about to begin!

Synopsis

The song begins featuring Ash and his Kalos team. Then Serena is shown on the pink background, Clemont is shown on the cyan and Bonnie with Dedenne on the yellow. The next scene shows Ash and his friends running on the meadow and looking at Lumiose City. In next scene, Serena dances with her Pokémon in their performance costumes, Clemont, with his Pokémon tries to create a gadget, and Bonnie is being dragged by Puni-chan in its 10% form. Ash is then shown with his Greninja reflecting on his battles with Sawyer and Alain. Greninja then walks away from Ash. Ash tries to reach Greninja, only to realize it was only a puddle of water. However, Ash and Greninja's bond grow closer, and Greninja is able to activate a new form. Ash is then seen battling Sawyer and his Mega Sceptile. Though Sceptile has a type advantage, Greninja, in its new form, is able to gain an upper hand and possibly defeated Sceptile. Team Flare, along with Alain and his Mega Charizard X, then appears, wanting to capture Puni-chan. Puni-chan, however, changed its form to 10%, 50%, and finally Complete form. Wulfric is then seen in the Pokémon Village. The song ends with the main characters all together in four-colored hexagon background (dark blue for Ash and Pikachu; pink for Serena; yellow for Bonnie, Dedenne and Puni-chan; and cyan for Clemont).
