[Verse 1]
Once upon a time
I passed every test
Walked the victory road
Thought I was the best
More challenges came
Never was impressed
Still more roads to walk
Always one more test
Can you be the one?
Face the march of time?
All my work undone
Silver mountain climbed
But silence is gold
So no more prattle
Prove your strength to me
Trainer Red wants to battle!

[Chorus]
With my band, hand in hand
'Cross the land, I have travelled
Now I see, you and me
Meant to be, in this battle
Had your fun, champion?
Just begun, faced disaster
Pikachu, I choose you
Time to prove, just who is the master
[Bridge]
You've come so far
To find the world is wider
I was like you
Another wide-eyed fighter
The very best, like no one ever was
Prove to me that you'll stand by your cause
Catch them all

[Verse 2]
You stand before me
Out to take my journey
My torch is passed
Only if you can last
Human, monster
Time to prove your bonds here
Climb your mountains
Hoping that you will not fall
So no more prattle
Prove your strength to me
Trainer Red wants to battle!

[Chorus]
With my band, hand in hand
'Cross the land, I have travelled
Now I see, you and me
Meant to be, in this battle
Had your fun, champion?
Just begun, faced disaster
Pikachu, I choose you
Time to prove who's the master
[Verse 3]
If your time is now
If you are the best
Through the roads you've walked
You face one more test
Let this challenge prove
That you can be strong
Two champions clash
There's no right or wrong

[Outro]
Trainer Red wants to battle!
