Battle Cry is the opening theme song for Pokémon: DP Galactic Battles, and the twelfth opening theme song of the English Pokémon anime series. The song has two openings: one TV size version and the full version which is used in Arceus and the Jewel of Life. In the Arabic, Croatian and Serbian dubs, it was used from The Lonely Snover! (replacing This Dream in the Serbian dub, I Wanna Be a Hero in the Croatian dub and Pokémon Theme in the Arabic dub) to Memories Are Made of Bliss! (in the Croatian and Serbian dubs) and Thank You, Alola! The Journey Continues! (in the Arabic dub).

TV version[]
♪ Sometimes it's hard to know, Which way you're supposed to go. But deep inside, you know you're strong. If you follow your heart, you can't be wrong.
Stand Up... (Stand Up!) For what is right. Be brave! Get ready to fight. Hold On! (Hold On!)
We're friends for life. And if we come, together as one... Complete the quests that we've begun... We will win the battle... Galactic Battles... Pokémon! ♪
