TV Version
I wanna be the very best, like no one ever was.

To catch them is my real test; to train them is my cause.

I will travel across the land, searching far and wide.

Teach Pokémon to understand the power that's inside!

-

''Pokémon! (Gotta catch 'em all!) It's you and me!''

I know it's my destiny!

''Pokémon! Oh, you're my best friend''

in a world we must defend!

''Pokémon! (Gotta catch 'em all!) A heart so true.''

Our courage will pull us through!

''You teach me, and I'll teach you! Po-ké-mon!''

''(Gotta catch 'em all!) Gotta catch 'em all! Pokémon!''
