Synopsis

DP145 - DP169

A light purple curtain unfolds, then Buneary, Piplup, Pikachu, and Croagunk point to the right, and then to the left. All four Pokémon are shown thinking and confused. Buneary and Pikachu point up, Piplup and Croagunk point down. All four make a superman pose. Then, all four are shown in a scene with their heads in the corners. Medicham and Meditite meditate and duplicate. Four polygons containing Buneary, Piplup, Pikachu, and Croagunk show and spin. They show expressions of happiness, anger, sadness, and excitement. Pikachu walks and does poses with his hand behind his back. Piplup spins on one foot then tucks his leg out and puts his hand out. Buneary flips and sways, then stretches its arms. Croagunk makes a cross with his hands and raises it and then sways his hands behind his legs continuously. All the Poké Balls from Sinnoh are shown under 4 spotlights. Buneary, Piplup, Pikachu, and Croagunk raises their hands. Bubbles appear with different Pokémon in them. Team Rocket is shown fishing while a East Sea Shellos rises from the water. A Hoothoot puts its foot down and Buneary, Piplup, Pikachu, and Croagunk stare at it in wonder. A Psyduck sits alone in a yellow background when it starts to sweat increasingly as its face is shown closer. Then, Psyduck falls over. Buneary, Piplup, Pikachu, and Croagunk dance at the bottom, while Mantyke and Exeggcute, Bibarel and Weedle, Lapras and Luvdisc, Mankey and Mamoswine, Scizor and Looker dance at the top. Looker's face expands. Buneary, Piplup, Pikachu, and Croagunk pauses, pointing in different directions. They continue dancing, and pauses, pointing in different directions in three different shots. They finish off with 4 arrows (←↑→↓). Three of four arrows disappear and the screen goes to the remaining arrow's direction. Different pictures are shown for different directions.

Trivia

 
The live-action PV
  • A live-action promotional video for the song was aired with DP159 and DP160 in place of the regular ending animation.
  • From DP170, a new version of this Japanese ending was used. The lyrics of the song is of the second half of the full version, but kept the last few lines of the TV version. Some screenshots were changed in order to associate with the lyrics of the song.
