[English]

Open the town map, flip it over

Dive into Route 151

Let's move forward from scratch!

Got you!

...

Chase down Mew! Gotta catch 'em all!

Not here, how's it going?

That Pokémon I've never seen

I'll definitely win and then catch it! yuh

Here I come!

I'm full of energy

The bike maintenance is perfect too

Sometimes, it's okay to go all out

Isn't it fine to show off a bit, everyone?

A one-of-a-kind star in this world

Rumor has it I can use any machine

With Psycho Soda as my travel companion

Lock on, "I got you!"

Go! Pikachu! Flash it!

It's dark and I can't see, Zubat is scary (T_T)

Wait a minute, don't leave me behind

Finally made it out of the cave

Butterfree, Starmie, I've evolved

Taurine? Dowsing? I'm not missing anything!

If it's a picnic, leave it to me

And then right away, "I got you!"

Catchy beat, riding the wave of heat

(Up and up and up and up!)

Through the grass, the sea, and the sky, let's go!

Anywhere we want

Chase down Mew! Gotta catch 'em all!

Not here, how's it going?

That Pokémon I've never seen

I'll definitely win and then catch it! yuh

It's nowhere to be found, seriously

That mysterious kid, is it really an illusion?

Isn't there anywhere I haven't searched?

No way, isn't this impossible?

Just leveling up ⤵⤵

Carefree, cheerful, innocent, anything's fine!

Poké Center? Game Center? Surely not, right? lol

"A fateful encounter," I'm hoping for

"I got you!"

...

Full of motivation, let's battle GOGO!

Trainers are too strong on Champion Road

Let's just enter the Hall of Fame and laugh together

Extreme Get up!

Open the town map, flip it over

Dive into Route 151

Still more to go! Let's move!

Catchy beat, riding the wave of heat

(Up and up and up and up!)

Through the grass, the sea, and the sky, let's go!

Anywhere we want

Chase down Mew! Gotta catch 'em all!

Not here, how's it going?

That Pokémon I've never seen

I'll definitely win and then catch it! yuh

Chase down Mew! Gotta catch 'em all!

Not here, how's it going?

That Pokémon I've never seen

I'll definitely win and then catch it! yuh

...
