ALOLA! is the first opening theme for the Korean dub of Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon. It debuted with SM001, replacing Remember times of Pokémon the Series: XY. Unlike previous Korean opening themes, it uses various episode clips from Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon, containing no footage from its corresponding Japanese opening theme, Alola!!. It was replaced by an arrangement of Start of an Adventure in SM033 and returned from SM044 to SM068.

A teaser for the song was uploaded to the official Korean Pokémon YouTube channel on March 1, 2017 to promote the Pokémon Sun and Moon games. The full music video for that version was later uploaded on March 24, 2017. The version used in the animated series was uploaded on April 12, 2017 and again on May 17, 2017. The second version used in the animated series was uploaded on April 18, 2018.

The full version was also used as an insert song at the end of SM146.

Opening animation: Version 1 (SM001SM032)

Synopsis

Ash and Pikachu are briefly seen in an airplane before the scene changes to show several Pokémon including Alolan Exeggutor and Milotic. Ash and Pikachu are then seen enjoying a ride on Sharpedo. The scene then changes to show Melemele Island and the series logo appears moments later.

Ash is seen running up a path. Then, his classmates, Lillie, Mallow, and Lana smile. The camera then briefly shows Rowlet, Litten, and Popplio. Hala laughs and then the Rotom Pokédex is shown.

The scene then quickly jumps through several scenes including Ash, Professor Kukui, Ash's classmates, Alolan Exeggutor, and Bounsweet.

Rotom Pokédex is seen showing the regional forms of Persian. Then, Kiawe is seen riding on Charizard, and Mallow on Tauros.

Jessie, James, Meowth, and Wobbuffet are introduced, and then Mimikyu is seen deflecting Pikachu's Electro Ball. Next, Ash and Pikachu are using a Z-Move.

Then, during the night, Ash is shown receiving an Electrium Z from Tapu Koko. Pikachu then jumps onto Ash's shoulders. The scene then shows each of Ash's classmates briefly, before they all run out. Ash and Pikachu are alone, and the camera pans out.

Opening animation: Version 2 (SM044SM068)

Synopsis

Ash is seen running up a path with Pikachu. Ash is exhausted and down as his classmates approach him to cheer him up, as all are shown with their Pokémon. Everyone is sliding down the spiral slide, but crash into one another after reaching the bottom and colliding with the Alolan Exeggutor, but get back up and dance.

Ash picks up Nebby, causing it to cry. Team Rocket looks around with the background changing each time they move, including their food truck, Aether Paradise, and the Altar of the Sunne. Ash and his friends are marching down the path in a row as Samson Oak tries to join with a dance, but is hit and knocked away by a Komala.

Ash and his classmates command their Pokémon to use moves. Lusamine, Wicke, and Faba walk along a bridge inside Aether Paradise while Professor Burnet emerges from a pond underneath. Gladion appears with Type: Null which then evolves into Silvally. Next, Lillie appears in her "Z-Powered form".

Ash commands Pikachu to run and use Iron Tail on Mimikyu. Pikachu continues running and uses Thunderbolt on Yungoos, Salandit, and Rattata, then runs alongside Solgaleo. The scene instantly changes and Ash is with Tapu Koko, who flies off towards the moon and seconds later Lunala flies away from it.

Ash and Pikachu use their Z-Move, 10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt. At the Pokémon School, Ash and Pikachu look at the campus over the balcony in amazement. Ash is sitting on the roof of Professor Kukui's house looking out towards the ocean with Pikachu and Rotom.

알로라 웰컴 투 더 멜라멜라섬
이곳에서 시작하는거야 특별한 모험
어서 빨리 짐을 챙겨놔 밖에선
기다리고 있어 너의 동료가 될 포켓몬

나몰빼미, 냐오불, 누리공 포함
처음 보게 될 새로운 포켓몬을
찾아 모험을 떠나봐 당장
모르는 건 쿠쿠이 박사님께 물어봐

yeah 들어는 봤니 너 '리전폼'
날씨에 따라 모습이 바뀌는 포켓몬
또 포켓라이드 높은 상공을 비행해
육지와 바다 또한 가능해

풍요로운 자연에 눈 돌릴 틈 없이
계속 몰아칠거야 네가 겪게 될 시련이
네 개의 섬을 통해 확인할 수 있어
uh 한번 되보자고 포켓몬 트레이너

Let's get it sun & moon
새로운 모험이 날 기다려
Let's get it sun & moon

나를 비추는 Sunshine & Moonlight
모두 느낄 수 있어
자 이제 시작이야
내 꿈을 위한 여행
I got gotcha 포켓몬

나를 비추는 Sunshine & Moonlight
모두 느낄 수 있어
자 이제 시작이야
내 꿈을 위한 여행
I got gotcha 포켓몬
Alola, welcome to the Melemele Island
This is the place where our special adventure begins
Come on, quickly pack your stuff
The Pokémon who will become your companions, are waiting outside

Including Rowlet, Litten, and Popplio
Find Pokémon you'll see for the first time
Go on an adventure, right now
Ask Professor Kukui anything you don't know

Yeah, have you heard of 'Region Form'?
These Pokémon change their appearance according to the weather
Also, Poké Ride, flying high in the sky
It's also possible over land and sea

Nature is abundant, there's no place to look away
The trials that you'll face will continually billow
You can confirm that through the four islands
Uh, let's become a Pokémon Trainer for once

Let's get it sun & moon
A new adventure awaits me
Let's get it sun & moon

The sunshine and moonlight that shines on me
Everyone can feel it
Now is the start
Of the journey to fulfill my dreams
I got gotcha Pokémon

The sunshine and moonlight that shines on me

Alola! Welcome to the 멜라멜라섬
이 곳에서 시작하는거야 특별한 모험
어서 빨리 짐을 챙겨놔 밖에선
기다리고 있어 너의 동료가 될 포켓몬

나몰빼미, 냐오불, 누리공
이 셋중 하날 골라봐 할라로부터
네 첫 파트너를 받을거니까
모르는 건 쿠쿠이박사님께 물어봐

yeah 들어는 봤니 너 '리전폼'
날씨에 따라 모습이 바뀌는 포켓몬
또 포켓라이드 높은 상공을 비행해
육지와 바다 또한 가능해

풍요로운 자연에 눈 돌릴 틈 없이
계속 몰아칠거야 네가 겪게 될 시련이
4개의 섬을 통해 확인할 수 있어

Yeah let's get it sun & moon
네 모험을 도와줄 로토무도감을
따라 너의 길을 가면 돼
참고로 이걸 가진 트레이너는 극소수

또 너의 포켓몬과 강한 유대감을 키워
Z기술을 통해 배틀에서 이겨
낼 수 있어 아무리 센 상대가 와도
넌 너의 동료 포켓몬을 믿고 싸워

전설의 포켓몬 솔가레오와
루나아라가 궁금하지 않아?
이 모험의 중요한 키를 쥐고 있는
그들이 어떤 활약을 펼칠 것인지는

네가 직접 확인해 이곳에서
낮과 밤을 보내며 자연을 만끽해
배틀이 끝난 포켓몬은 포켓리프레로
우린 페스 서클에 가서 축제를 즐기자고

let's get it sun & moon
새로운 모험이 날 기다려
let's get it sun & moon

나를 비추는 Sunshine & Moonlight
모두 느낄 수 있어
자 이제 시작이야
내 꿈을 위한 여행
I got gotcha 포켓몬

울트라 비스트를 조심해
너와 네 포켓몬을 위협하는
생각보다 강력해
자칫하면 크게 다칠 수 있으니

더 힘을 키워내
알로라 지방과 너 자신을 위해
베일에 둘러싸인 비밀 들을
풀어 나갈 준비가 됐다면

let's get it sun & moon
새로운 모험이 날 기다려
let's get it sun & moon

Alola! Welcome to the Melemele Island
This is the place where our special adventure begins
Come on, quickly pack your stuff
The Pokémon who will become your companions, are waiting outside

Rowlet, Litten, and Popplio
From among these three, choose one from Hala
Since you're going to receive your first partner
Ask Professor Kukui anything you don't know

Yeah, have you heard of 'Region Form'?
These Pokémon change their appearance according to the weather
Also, Poké Ride, flying high in the sky
It's also possible over land and sea

Nature is abundant, there's no place to look away
The trials that you'll face will continually billow
You can confirm that through the four islands
Uh, let's become a Pokémon Trainer for once

Let's get it sun & moon
A new adventure awaits me
Let's get it sun & moon

The sunshine and moonlight that shines on me
Everyone can feel it
Now is the start
Of the journey to fulfill my dreams
I got gotcha Pokémon

Yeah let's get it sun & moon
Rotom Pokédex will help you on your adventure
Follow it and go on your way
As a note, only a minority of Trainers have this

Also, grow a strong bond with your Pokémon
Win battles using Z-Moves
You can do it even if a strong opponent approaches
Believe in your companion Pokémon and battle

Aren't you curious about the Legendary Pokémon Solgaleo
And Lunala?
They hold an important key to this adventure
What kind of action will they unfold?

You can confirm that firsthand at this place
As you spend day and night, fully experience the nature
After the battle ends, Pokémon go to Poké Refré
We go to Festival Plaza to enjoy a celebration

Let's get it sun & moon
A new adventure awaits me
Let's get it sun & moon

The sunshine and moonlight that shines on me
Everyone can feel it
Now is the start
Of the journey to fulfill my dreams
I got gotcha Pokémon

Beware of the Ultra Beasts
They threaten you and your Pokémon
They're stronger than you expect
At the slightest slip, you can get badly hurt

So, bring out more strength
For you and for the Alola Region
Secrets hidden by a veil
Be ready to solve them

Let's get it sun & moon
A new adventure awaits me
Let's get it sun & moon

The sunshine and moonlight that shines on me
Everyone can feel it
Now is the start
Of the journey to fulfill my dreams
I got gotcha Pokémon
