He had a dream to be the very best

And it wasn′t only when he sleeps, but our hero needs his rest

His name is Ash, the lesser known ten year old was bestowed from Professor OakAn electric rodent, then he broke the mold and went all-out Ketchum mode

Never got to pick and choose

But his Pikachu was from a different brood

He met a flock of spearow, and they flew the coop

Left Misty's bicycle barbеcued

With one shock

Got off to a rocky start

Until he put thе waterworks on Brock

And the three frenemies would never be apart

Watch as they learned new tricks of the trade

Getting outplayed by Jessie and James

But never afraid of befriending and training

His fellow teammates to battle the Eight

He added Squirtle to the squad, Bulbasaur could brawl

But he hit a wall when Charmander evolved

But nothing could stop him from reaching the top

Of the conference with all of the Gusto he′s got

Ash - he battled with foes and friends, but Richie ditched his chances to win

One of sixteen kids in the end, too bad Gary wasn't one of them

Left in an empty room, he attempted to just clear his head

Ash said that he will be a master, it isn't a matter of if, it′s a matter of when!

Ash left behind his pidgeot, but there′s no time for crying

Oak needs a GS ball, it's out in the Orange Islands

Brock saw Professor Ivy and said: "Go ahead and go without me"

Ash and Misty met a guy named Tracey Sketchit on their outing

He joined the group and told them about the Orange League battles

After Ash catches a Lapras, and now they′re ready for travel

Tracey pulls out his Marill, now a Gen Two is upon us

Then they all stood astonished in front of a Crystal Onix

Ash caught a Snorlax that was in the middle of eating

And meanwhile, Charizard is still being disobedient

Coral Eye - clutched it, Sea Ruby - clutched it

Spiked shell, jade star, Orange members couldn't cut it

Now it′s time to battle Drake in a six V six

His Dragonite was going ham, but they couldn't beat the kid

Ash is Orange League′s champ, going back to Professor Oak

So he can take the GS ball over to Johto

Once he left Orange Islands, Ash had to find a new place to compete in

So the kid set his new sights onto Johto, planning to go and take over the region

Who finna beat him? He at the top of his game now, on a high and still hasn't come down

But this new ark, it isn't the same town, gotta win to start getting his name out

First up, it′s Violet City

And on the way he got new ′Mons riding with him

We're talking Heracross and Chikorita, come and beef the team up

New Pokémon he′d never ever think to dream of

Only tryna get stronger, can't be weaker

Left Charizard behind, he can train with Liza

Gave the GS ball to Kurt, don′t know where that's leading

Anyway, it′s time to get competing

The journey for the badges starts with Falkner, stressful matches can't afford to falter

Beating Bugsy, then it's onto Whitney, might lose at first, but second time he′d fold her

Got a lot of pressure on his shoulders, still his team′s relentless to opponents

Fog, storm, mineral, glacier and rising badges all in the quota

Silver conference in his sights, this is where the challenge is

Heavy trials and fierce fights to make his way to Harrison

Get beaten in the quarter finals, can't lie that was embarrassing

But once he spots the Ho-oh flying, he knows just where he′s going next

From Johto to Hoenn, he switched up where he's staying at

In hopes that Misty won′t miss him was linking up with May and Max

He had to stay on the move to improve, that's just stating facts

So he could go get a trophy to show them when he made it back

So he picked Treecko, he put the green first

Knocked Roxanne′s rocks off with the sweeper

Caught a couple other 'Mons, told 'em come along for the long haul

Steadily was tryna make the Dream Work

Had to hit a surf, ride a wave

He was tryna win it all right away, he needed patience

Took an L, but he didn′t get complacent

He had to level up, transformation

Then he started giving early vacations

Six straight badges added to Ash′s station

Groudon with the way he shook the foundation

Kyogre water on him like the Amazon basin

Magma and aqua tried to get him, boss whooped

Maxie and Archie, got 'em both locked up

And Team Rocket still tried to pop up

Got ′em mopped up before they even got a block up

By the time he got to the final frontier

Was only bested by the flyest one here

Sad how it wasn't meant to be

At least he made a lot of great memories, ay

And he want back from Hoenn to Kento

His home turf wasn′t a place that he can't go

But he left it all behind, all to find

A way to put a trophy on the mantle

They called him cocky before, now Ash is focused on strategy

Now all his rivals get up at the crack of dawn just for the chance to go battle him

Huge trip, on a cruise ship, and his mom sent our dude new trip

Despite fighting Roark and Gardenia, two

Badges, ain′t one for losing

He caught Starly and then Turtwig, took Paul's Chimchar to burn things

The team Ash is building was perfect, you could feel the power was surging

Met Pokémon outta this world, we ain't talking ′bout Team Galactic

He beat Maylene, Crasher Wake and Fantina, ain′t that a hat-trick

His monkey was more of a showman, so dawn's Buizel was the one that was chosen

And his Turtwig evolved into Grotle, had our heroes explode with emotions

Then Galactic was stirring up trouble, Lake Acuity started to bubble a little

Gotta thank you from all of the legendaries, and then Ash went and caught him a Gible, yeah

After getting all of the badges, he entered the League, a coward he never could be

Built a team with some new and some old, yeah, the battle with Paul was a breeze

Out of the darkness, a Dream Eater went down, but not without a fight

That′s top four for the wonderkid that'll get you feeling alright, yeah

Yeah, blue what been on my mind

Took a trip on a whim, then we dropped out the sky

See blue, eyes red, no guess, just try

Me and Pikachu out at the luckiest times

Landed in lands I ain′t seen with my two

New catches and battles, no hesi, we move

Can't trip over trip, that′s a battle, couldn't lose

Had a lot on my plate, had to grow and cut loose

Listen Professors, I had to pursue

New regions, new teachings, how could they refuse

Double my Pokedex, Oak got my other friends

Back at the motherland, everything cool

Wait, ran into Axew and Iris

Act like a kid, but my battle sense heightened

Rocket outta pocket, no senseless violence

Knew they were destined to lose since the pilot, yeah

Came across N, wills bend, not dying

Ghetsis and Colress battling science

DNA splitters, my swag on hybrid

Green is the theme, we picked up Cilan

Had strong pace, know I couldn't stop

I was about to pop

If he talking spells, get shelled, no Oshawott

Shades on, game on, feeling like Krokorok

Get right, Pignite, walk out, block is hot

Can′t stop the match, can′t break the plot

Slipped up, let Trip win, but then he lost

Man, it ain't about placement, look at the fights we fought

Like hold up, been catching these Pokémon, filling my quota

No matter the region, this stay my persona

No matter the bad stuff, beat Team Plasma

′Till next time I visit Unova

Came into the Kalos region with mean confidence

To achieve the one thing that I haven't accomplished yet

To beat the League, and finally become a champion

While me and Pikachu and the rest of my team are standing there

Met Serena and Clemont along the way

New friendship is the thing that would push me everyday

My rivals in this region, some of the hardest that I′ve faced

Let my ego get the best of me, so now I gotta train

Me and Greninja out here working on our form

Noivern, Gooda, Talonflame, Hawlucha working to get strong

But Alain got this Charizard that he done mega-evolved

And after all my sweat and effort, I still came up short

But Team Flare still wildin' out

They wanna take the population and wipe it out

It′s Zygarde versus Zygarde now, even though I lost the League, and it hurts

At least I can call my mama and tell her I saved the world

Aloha

Ash's grueling journey just brought him to the Alola

Fighting through a tourney, he must best all of the totems

Strapped with a Rotom, heard the Skull'd want him dead, he did not even provoke them

In a ball with a Rockruff

Start small and it seem like he not much, ay

Everybody talk tough

With a form like dusk, now he hot stuff, ay

Ultra Beast said nice to meet ya

Nebby on the ground and he might just eat ya

He got a Z Crystal, he might defeat ya

Now he on to Alola′s finer features

Round and a round and around

And he taking them down and down and down

He amaze and astound, he ain′t clowning around

Now there's greatness abound, and he out for the crown, ay

Eyes on the prize, he ain′t a school kid now

Gotta knock down the Skull before they rule this town

Gotta show them you mean it, no fooling 'round

He′s got one shot at the League, and he moving now, ay

Z moves, yeah, he dancing up

And if Gladeon goes down, he'll be the champion, and he won!

Let′s go, enter Goh

The new kid on the block who's journeys we're set to show

Ash was late ′cause he slept at home

But together they would grow with a dream of their own

I know it all with an energy ball

Getting legendary calls to the edge of the port

Already met sorts they weren′t very prepped for

Want to train, would soar, be the best, or get them all

A turn to the turbulent

As they skirmish Eternatus

And emerge the victors of it, moving on to meet Mewtwo

And heal up Suicune, Goh on his road found a rival to beat too

Old friends are the hardest foes

A mega made match with Lucario

So many battles with Bea

Beat Machamp, see, now Ash was a champion to be

Fix Space and Time from Dialga and Palkia's fued

With a bit of work, Gengar would be maxing too, Sirfetch would learn best and master moves

Ready for the raids, and the birds, and the regis, the regions rarest turned friendly

Goh getting closer to Pokedex perfection with every entry

On the road to the final prizes

Flashiest fights with Lance, Diantha and Iris

And like a wish on a star that you′ve seen shoot

As they face the Hoenn three

This ultimate journey is making their dreams true

Known from the moment they meet Mew

Masters Eight, could not hold back fate

The title was Ash's to take

He became the very best like no one ever was

So many years, so many quests, the lessons we were taught

All the places around the world, the lows and the highs

A Generation that won′t forget the power that's inside
