[Verse 1: Kanto (Mat4yo)]
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 Oak
An 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!
[Verse 2: Orange Islands (NerdOut)]
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

[Verse 3: Johto (Breeton Boi)]
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
[Verse 4: Hoenn (Ham Sandwich)]
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
[Verse 5: Sinnoh (Mix Williams)]
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

[Verse 6: Unova (PE$O PETE)]
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

[Verse 7: Kalos (Delta Deez)]
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

[Verse 8: Alola (McGwire)]
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!

[Verse 9: Galar (Connor Quest!)]
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

[Epilogue: Jason Paige]
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
