===Synopsis===
{{incomplete|section}}
[[File:May Kanto party.png|thumb|left|250px|May and her Pokémon]]
All of Ash's Pokémon including the Pokémon he released are together. All of his Pokémon use {{m|Quick Attack}}. May, [[Drew]] and [[Harley]] appear. Ash and the gang are running with [[Ash's Larvitar]], a {{p|Tyranitar}}, and [[Ash's Pidgeot]]. They walk to the other side of a mountain and they run on the beach with [[Ash's Lapras]] in the wave. They fall from the sky, passing through [[Ash's Butterfree]] and a [[Pink Butterfree]]. Then, the seven [[Frontier Brain]]s appear and form a line to the top, throwing their [[Symbol|Frontier Symbols]], followed by Ash's Pokémon battling. Pikachu runs and uses {{m|Volt Tackle}}, causing smoke. {{AP|Aipom}} comes out and uses her tail to hit the screen. [[Scott]], {{an|Professor Oak}}, {{Tracey}}, [[Delia Ketchum]], {{an|Misty}} and {{TRT}} are on cards. A pile of cards  falls on Team Rocket.

Ash and the gang are together in the ending scene.

I'm trembling with excitement so much it's laughable
Pursuing my dreams for tens of thousands of miles
I still still still still have
Potential!

I'll tightly retie my shoelaces
I'll fulfill the promise with my future self!

Even if we collide, we can still understand each other
Really for real, let's run together!
Let's go! We'll be there!</ab>

| <ab>Let's put away our memories for now
Let's aim for that place with a spurt of speed!

I thirst, I hunger
Even so, my strength is boiling up
My wounds throb, my sweat flies
But I can see clearly

The extent of the world, look,
It's more incomprehensible than I thought!
I'm trembling with excitement so much it's laughable
Pursuing my dreams for tens of thousands of miles
I still still still still have potential!

There's no use waiting around, let's go forth!
If you do it, then just do it, with a spurt of speed!

The forest is dark, there are no roads
Even so, my courage is overflowing
The mountains are tall, the valleys are deep
But of course, I'm all fired up

The words of my {{ashfr|friends}}, look,
They're more reassuring than I thought!
They're extremely warm, so much it makes me cry
Chasing after the future for tens of thousands of miles
I still still still still have potential!

I'll tightly retie my shoelaces
I'll fulfill the promise with my future self!

There's no use waiting around, let's go forth!
If you do it, then just do it, with a spurt of speed!

But it's strange.
When it comes to things I love, for some reason
I can keep going extremely strong!
Let's go with "love power" going full throttle,
With a spurt of speed!

Through tears and smiles, you're not alone
I will always and forever cheer you up!

Even if we collide, we can still understand each other
Really for real, let's run together!
Let's go! We'll be there!</ab>

==Trivia==
[[File:OPJ10 Butterfree.png|thumb|left|220px|Ash's Butterfree with the yellow scarf]]
* {{AP|Lapras}} was not included in the opening two scenes with the rest of {{Ash}}'s Pokémon.
* {{AP|Donphan}} does not fly with the other Pokémon after the title was shown.
* {{AP|Butterfree}} has the yellow scarf that {{an|Brock}} gave it.
* {{TP|Casey|Beedrill}} does not make an appearance, most likely due to it having a new Trainer.
* {{AP|Primeape}}, {{AP|Charizard}}, and {{AP|Squirtle}} do not appear in the section showcasing released Pokémon, most likely due to being in training, and therefore not having been technically released.

===Errors===
[[File:OPJ10 May Combusken Flamethrower.png|thumb|220px|May's Combusken using Flamethrower]]
* When [[Drew]] appears, [[May's Combusken]] is seen using {{m|Flamethrower}} in the air, though it is a move that it cannot use yet.
** This is the second Japanese opening in which May's Combusken is seen using Flamethrower erroneously, the first one being [[Challenger!!]].

==Variants==
# [[AG166]] - [[AG169]]: The original animation.
# [[AG170]]: Animation updated to include {{FB|Salon Maiden|Anabel}}.
