Lyrics
TV version
You're just a kid on a quest
To be the best of the best
Someday you're destined for power and glory
You know you're up to the test
There's only one way to tell this story
Be a hero!
Be a hero!
All the power is at your command
Face your fears and show you're a hero
The future of the world is in your hand
Pokémon!
Full version
Aah aah aah aah aah
Aah aah aah aah aah
Aah aah aah aah aah
You're just a kid on a quest
To be the best of the best
Someday you're destined for power and glory
You know you're up to the test
There's only one way to tell this story
Be a hero!
Be a hero!
All the power is at your command
Face your fears and show you're a hero
The future of the world is in your hand
You feel it time and again
That something's coming, but
When will be the moment that leads to greatness?
All you need's you and a friend
Together you'll demonstrate what strength is
Be a hero!
Be a hero!
All the power is at your command
Face your fears and show you're a hero
The future of the world is in your hand
(Be a heeeerrroooooooooooohhhhhhh...)
Be a hero!
Be a hero!
All the power is at your command
Be a hero!
Aah aah aah aah aah
Aah aah aah aah aah

Trivia
- Due to using scenes from Mega V, which was not updated to feature Ash's Frogadier and was also replaced before A Showcase Debut!, this opening theme makes appearances on future episodes where Ash's Froakie evolved into Frogadier, yet still featuring Froakie, and it also appears on episodes with Serena's new design, yet still features her old design.
- An instrumental version of this song was used in The Future Is Now, Thanks to Determination!, Rivals: Today and Tomorrow!, A Relay in the Sky!, Over the Mountain of Snow!, A Legendary Photo Op!, The Tiny Caretaker!, A Performance Pop Quiz!, All Eyes on the Future!, Till We Compete Again!, and Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel.
- The melody of the full version includes a snippet of Ed Goldfarb's leitmotif for Ash used throughout Pokémon the Series: XY, near the beginning and the end of the song.
