Synopsis

The word "Pokémon" in English flashes by in different colors of the rainbow. The camera scrolls by the characters and their Pokémon, first Ash's, then Dawn's, then Brock's. Ash throws a Poké Ball, then Brock, then Dawn in a blue dress. Ash and Pikachu is seen standing under a cherry blossom tree while leaves are falling off the tree and floating in the wind. Pikachu jumps onto Ash's arms and he holds Pikachu up in the air. Zoey and Kenny are shown in front of a staircase of light. Piplup and Dawn in a puffy yellow dress with pink ribbons appear on the top step. It transitions into a close-up shot of Dawn with her hair and the ribbons flowing in the wind. Ash is shown in a Japanese cheer squad outfit, with Pikachu in a kimono holding fans and Buizel with a white strand of cloth tied around his head. Dawn, Piplup, and Buneary are shown wearing pink cheerleading outfits. A crowd of Nurse Joy appears and Brock running to them with a bouquet of roses. Brock gets a close up with heart-shaped his eyes. Croagunk appears from behind, threatening him with a Poison Jab. Brock winces in pain. Jessilina flies over a city at night on a broomstick, holding a lollipop. She flies towards James, Meowth, and Wobbuffet, waves the lollipop at them, and turns them into chibi versions of themselves. A much bigger chibi Jessilina appears beside them, scaring them away. Ash, Pikachu, Brock, Dawn, and Piplup are chasing a group of Butterfree in the sunset. The three stop at a cliff and watch the Butterfree fly towards the sun.

Japanese English もっと　もっと 強くなるから 誓った約束　いまも この胸で　ずうっと　まぶしいよ 元気ですか？　仲間はどう？ 風のにおい　空の色 おんなじですか？ 夢はいつか　叶うけれど でも待ってる　だけじゃだめ 自分でつかんで　いくもんだよ スネの傷跡　悲しい記憶 全力で駆けたら　消えていくね そう・・・ きっと　きっと 負けないはずさ 魔法の呪文 そんなもの　いらないさ 走れ　走れ 風より早く この道の先には 夢のつぼみ　ほら、覗いてる I'll become Stronger and stronger So the promise I made, even now Is always dazzling in my heart Are you well? How are your friends? The smell of the wind, the color of the sky Are they the same? Our dreams will someday come true But we can't just wait for them You have to grab them for yourself! A scar on your shin, sad memories If you run at full throttle, they'll all disappear! Yes... Surely, surely I'll never lose Magical spells... There's no need for things like that! Run, run Faster than the wind On this road ahead Look, the buds of our dreams are peeking out

Run, run Faster than the wind On this road ahead Look, the buds of our dreams are peeking out Do you remember that melody? The pitch is off, and the tone's a little flat But it sure is nostalgic When you want to cry, you can cry The trails left by tears are cold But I'm sure a warm wind will blow Fighting is the proof of life So be stimulated, overpass the survival battle♪ Yes... Bring about, bring about The earth's power The moon's twinkle Moves first and our iron defense is perfect!! Go on, go on Face to the future On this road ahead Look, the buds of our dreams are laughing The seed of courage planted in my small heart No matter what rain or wind, it will persevere The great sky stretches on forever We'll fly far, far over the clouds... that's right... I'll become Stronger and stronger Magical spells... There's no need for things like that! Run, run Faster than the wind On this road ahead Look, the buds of our dreams are peeking out
