Lyrics
! Japanese ! English

 So interesting, so triumphant
 * ''Full of courage, full of energy

Dreams will someday become reality Though someone sang that... Like a bud that will someday bloom My dream will come true''

Trivia

 * Even though the silhouette in the alleyway is most likely, Pokémon.com erroneously stated that the shadowy Pokémon figure was the Red Lightning from Curbing the Crimson Tide, which had not aired yet at that time.
 * This is the only Japanese opening that does not feature onscreen lyrics in any instance. The song is mostly instrumental, and the lyrics only include a verse from both Advance Adventure and Aim to Be a Pokémon Master.
 * Pokémon Symphonic Medley 2 was used both in the end of the Sinnoh Grand Festival depicted in A Grand Fight for Winning!, and the beginning of the Lily of the Valley Conference depicted in An Old Family Blend!.
