TV Version[]
♪ Pokémon... Pokémon... Pokémon... ...Let's do it.
I wanna be the very best, Like no one ever was. (Ever was, ever was) To catch them is my real test. To train them is my cause. My whole life has led to this. Time to test my skills. I know I just can't miss. Gonna show the world...
Born to be a winner... (Johto!) Born to be a champion. Born to be a winner, Born to be the very best. (Pokémon... Johto!) Born to be a winner... Pokémon! ♪
