[Verse 1; Kanto: Zach B]
I had to be the very best, it's my motto
Whenever I'm met with loss, I don't wallow
Never had to "catch them all," they just follow
(Follow, follow)
And no one else can match it
When I clear doubts, I can make it happen
And, if I got help, then we'll see who's laughing
You can count potential when you check the jacket
Always bounce back and try to make recoveries
Not discouraged by the ones above of me
Every journey's got some new discoveriеs
I suck at byes, but love an introductory
Just like Buttеrfree
Glad you found someone to land in luxury
I don't have time for me to wait and wonder
When, in seconds, I can heal the damage done to me
But not to bikes
Guess it's time for you to take a hike
Went through hell like almost overnight
And have the gall to say that I should know my types
What can I say?
I can't believe I woke up that late (Woke up that late)
Missed my chance to make a first pick
But found them all in just a few days
Days
Don't know why I was so stubborn and stuck in my
(Stuck in my) Ways
It took me a while before I had it in me to
(Had it in me to) Change
I was too ambitious
If there was a chance in front, I wouldn't miss it
Climbing from the bottom just for recognition
Keep in what they taught and don't forget the vision
Follow on our own goals
Didn't give up on a lot, but, even if I did
They know it now, we won't fold
Never, truth is, though, I'm better with my friends together
Thought we couldn't grow old
Love to see them all surrender
Where are my contenders now? The kid's stone cold
[Verse 2; Johto: G.Yee]
And I'm back with the sequel
Beast mode ever since
I smashed through the league, bro
Ask if they need smoke
Blastin' these Beedrill
My quil is nice
So back off the heat, yo
I told 'em that I stay about my money
Need a payday for a feature
These bands all on my green
They look like Casey's Chikorita
If you fakin' trick I see ya
My vision like a Hoothoot
Toto-ly connected
Since, my dex, it got that Bluetooth
Yeah
And that Rocket ain't stoppin' me
I'mma topple these opps, I be
Like a Sprout, how I'm towerin'
Jessie wobblin' while I be
On my Politoed, probably
'Cause that king do rock
I'm an obvious prodigy
Tell 'em
You just slower than a Poke
And they know I been the GOAT
Whitney showed 'em how I roll like
(Like)
Just ask Gary what it's like
Boy, I'm scary in a fight
I don't care about a type, naw
Day one
When you saw the legend
Get taught a lesson - I'm gold
But my heart electric, damn
(Damn)
Second place ain't nothin' new to ya
I'm sonnin' you, you silver medals
Lookin' up to Lugia
[Verse 3; Hoenn: Mat4Yo]
Gonna start all over again
In no man's land, but a master's road never ends
And all of my friends, we walked different paths
But in Hoenn, I'll be the first to advance
From the land, sea, sky, they'll see why
I can dash, swim, fly past the bad team guys
And I train to fight, in my contests
It's not quite bright and Beautifly
But if it's destiny
I can be the mentor and not mentee
We could butt our heads or could be a team
The best this world has ever seen
When I'm on the beat and go off the dome
It's like Torkoal steam, but, like Treecko
If you gimme a piece of that loose leaf
Then all I'll spit is Bullet Seeds
So lend an ear, like it's Max and Brock, to me
You cannot compete, you'll be shocked to see
How I'm rocking this Thunder Armor
And got this plot under lock and key
I can brawl with Flannery, Roxanne, Wattson
And crush the Magma and Aqua teams
'Cause a hero's what I wanna be
Pardon me... I mean "gonna be!"
Shoot and you'll backfire, it's a battle
Win or lose, there's little you can do to make Ash tired
Move with the crew, it's no mystery of Mew
That there's something more precious than Rubies and Sapphires
Something more beautiful stands higher
Up in the stands while I'm cheering on my friends
Now I know better to question
Whether May could set the stage ablaze, she can
I mastered the Iron Tail
And not just the story of all of the medals I'm getting
When my Sceptile prevails
We'll split you in two like the Terracotta ribbon
Top 8, but you know I'm forever grande
On the new frontier, I'll leave legends swept
As champ, they asked me to lend a hand
But a brain like mine, it cannot rest
[Verse 4; Sinnoh: Ham Sandwich]
Heart in the game since day one
But I still gotta part with my day ones
I been looking for the sauce that's A1
Stay on the move from nation to nation
Just dropped in Sinnoh for the long haul
And I didn't come here to play small ball
Aipom tucked, when I take my strut
Finna blaze my blunt, soon as I make Paul fall
'Cause he couldn't make Chimchar do it
Took that 'mon, then I made him look stupid
Looks ain't all when you want to be ruthless
You could make a legendary 'mon look useless
I been takin' misfits, makin' legends
Daily grinding twelve to eleven
You'd really think that I roll with seven
Based off the pressure when we together
We a force of nature, scorchin' blazed earth
The source, of course, I'm the coordinator
Your time to reign has been shortened, tapered
This a normal day for me, I'm the sort of player
Who don't know the meaning of giving in
I'm on the field tryna get a win
Even though I got rivals who meddlin'
I get to pedalin', I'm goin' straight to the top
Ain't gonna stop! Get to the semis and...
Wait, he has who on his team?
I guess that I lost
But I can't be upset by the way that I fought
But I can't be the best with the 'mons that I caught
So you know that most are goin' back in the box, eventually
I just hope we can all remember
What our time here meant to me
'Cause I got several enemies on the frontier
I ain't even worried 'bout the ones here
Had to smoke a J and let my lungs clear
Makin' one minute feel like one year
But I feel like I'll never be growin' up
And my day is eventually comin' up
Back in Pallet again, but I'm bound to begin
A new journey right before the sun is up
[Verse 5; Unova: The Kevin Bennett]
Unova
We can venture in unison
Together travel the region
You n' I a unit as one
With Cilan connoisseur and plus having Iris too
Made a crew on the move in a place so new
Locating recruits I be choosing
For battle, and lacing up boots
I'm looking so cool, cool, like Krookodile
And his pair of shades with my newer style
Grown up a lot, but she call me "kid"
That's Iris playin' like Goo Goo Dolls
Doing the miles, hunting with 'Chu in the wild
I'm comin' up, but all of you in denial
My feet on the ground 'cause naw
I don't trip when I lose to a rival, ay
Flow aimin' at y'all like an Oshawott
And goin' off of the wall, better find a mop
So divine when the boy got a Snivy caught
Not a lone Tepig I would not adopt
We gotta hone our skill with a dodge and a block
Come back, then we hit 'em with a counter shot
Team Rocket again, put a stoppin' to theft
I'm blasting 'em off, now they astronauts
Look at the trio, nah, we ain't basic
Fly as insect with the two, my amigos
Leaders should bolt, they quake when I show up
It's time that you jet once you poke at a hero
They could freeze up when the league won by me
Y'all toxic, Ash: 1 - Plasma: 0
When I see greatness, I don't gotta look too far
Just take a 'lil glance in the mirror
Even when losin' to foes
Is when I'm improvin' the most
You win a battle, get some gratification
It feel even better rescuing the globe
It's not so black and white, the palette color wide
And my canvas bright with new tones
Do it for those that reachin' for greatness
You could be champion, you never know
[Verse 6; Kalos: McGwire]
(Ay ay) C'est le vie dans Kalos
Got me fightin' my battles, ay ay
Supersonic, they addled
Talonflame allume fallots, ay ay
I'm up to bat and I'm makin' some noise
Move like a ninja, evade and avoid
Press on my chest, won't be taking my voice
Legendary, pick a game, issa choice
X, Y, life is variable
Noivern screamin', very subtle
Tyrunt, leave 'em buried, rubble
Prime strats out of e'rry huddle
Don't have time to wait for their rebuttals
Take a hit when they dare to struggle
Go, go, hoppin' on the shuttle
Water Pulse, sometimes they befuddled
I send up
Flares to find you
I don't know
Where you go
I'm never
Scared beside you
So I'm never
Feeling low
I'll never
Win without you
You are
My champion
My partner
Never doubt you
Like trainers
You never run
Goddamn, win it all
It's my plan (yeah, yeah)
I can't pass it up
On my chance (yeah, yeah)
Why stand? Draw a line
In my sand (yeah, yeah)
Diantha gon' fall
At my hand (yeah, yeah)
[Verse 7; Alola: Connor Quest!]
Aloha to the Alola
Peaks to the low grass, breeze of the coast
Palm trees like a post card, a new region
But same old gold heart, soon to be known stars
Get into a row, "Let's settle it now" type of vibe
Gonna make it without question how, rise to skies
A friend with strength that makes you glad he's on your side
Trails of trifling trials by the tiki torch light
Bonds bring trust
But lies can rock things up
Any baggage, let it air
Into this space like it was cosmic dust
A relationship that's on a stone's edge
And full of cold pretence
But know a kind and gentle nature
Tends to lower their defense
That one that taught you back in booster seats
To unmask your potential like Kukui
That you should push the boundaries of what you can be
Any doubt cast, meet it with a "Soon, you'll see"
You all knew this scene like a lucid dream
Years of choosing teams, goin' through the leagues
Wounded, beat, or in a feud with beasts
Despite all, still don't know what loser means
Can't do harsh battles
If you're softer than marshmallows
Go Akala, ask Lana, the oceans here aren't shallow
Gotta focus or you'll just be fighting ghosts
Like a Marshadow, give 'em a jolt
Of ten million volts, cool off in the seas
Take a dip in the salt, stack goals like totem poles
Now Koko knows it's a winning result
If you've got fuel left, burn it
Take a lesson, then learn it
Cooking up a storm, got a special blend stirrin'
Not a serving island, but on islands servin'
Ridin', surfin', glidin', swervin'
Climbin', herdin', fightin' vermin
Right disturbance, finding purpose
'Til fireworks in skies are burstin'
[Verse 8: Cam Steady]
It's the coronation
Feelin' like my final destination
Through these foreign nations
Celebrate the victories
But history is forward facing
See me at the series
'Cause my fate is fightin' for the greatness
So I lace the runnin' shoes
Back for one more track
This is my victory lap
A master class in battle rap
I got the mega ring wrapped
I hit the dance and Dynamax
Yeah I got regions of artillery strapped
'Cause this is Ash
And I got Galar on
The backs of their feet
I set my foot up in the stadium
Of faces and they're facin' to me
Familiar faces of the friends
And fam I faced and I beat
The very best of our community
Has come to compete
The final title standin' idle
Through the tidal waves of rivals
I see Leon with a smile
Lovin' scrappin' for survival
I can tell our tales are tied
Both our undyin' strives are vital
To our journeys, but inside our eyes
Still lives that inner child
So, when we finally come to blows
And health is comin' to a low
I see my team and family
I know I've never been alone
My journey ends around the globe
I've never felt so close to home
It's time to pass the torch
As I dethrone my final foe
[Outro: Cam Steady]
In my final chance to reflect
I'm so sad to see it all go
But know it's time to take the next step
I got so much love for the villains
To me, are really more friends
As I see that rainbow's other side
My heart will not forget
All those years we spent
Those decades came and went
Look at how much we've all grown
Since I first overslept
I may not know your battles
Or your story, or your quest
But when it comes to being you
Just be the very best
