===Synopsis=== | |||
{{incomplete|section}} | |||
Ash and Pikachu are in a field running toward the sun and they jump. The gang are in a forest playing happily, except May. There are flashbacks of [[Mimey]], [[Delia Ketchum]], {{an|Professor Oak}}, [[Professor Birch]], {{Tracey}}, and {{an|Misty}} holding an {{TP|Misty|Azurill}}. Ash's Pokémon are seen using their attacks and they all take a photo. Scott appears in a car and the Frontier Brains, except for {{an|Brandon}}, appear. Then, it showcases the characters' Pokémon. Team Rocket and their Pokémon waves. The rest of the opening has been changed multiple times. | |||
====Pokémon Sunday ending animation==== | |||
The first animation sequence in this version is {{Ash}}, {{an|May}}, and {{an|Brock}} calling out their Pokémon to attack. Those Pokémon are {{TP|May|Combusken}}, {{AP|Grovyle}}, and {{TP|Brock|Mudkip}}. | |||
The next group of animations are the same as in the main opening (Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}} running through the field, through the pan shot of Ash and all of his Pokémon). However, the differences in these animations are that ending credits replace the ones used in the opening. Also, the scene of [[Scott]] waving while driving past is replaced by a pan shot of all of the [[Frontier Brains]]. The animation sequence following this include portions of the first Frontier Brain battle between Ash and [[Noland]], which involved {{AP|Charizard}} and Noland's {{p|Articuno}}. After this, the normal animations resume, starting from the sequence involving Brock chopping up lettuce and cooking rice, and May throwing a {{i|Poké Ball}}. The {{TRT}} sequence prior to [[AG152]] (with {{p|Weavile}}) remains intact. This is followed by the {{p|Mew}} and {{p|Lucario}} flyby animation, as was the case in the first version of this opening. Unlike the original ending though, the group silhouette is replaced with the Frontier Brain reveal. | |||

==Trivia== | ==Trivia== | ||
* The {{pkmn|movie}} version of this song has an alternate lead-in. | |||
* This is the first opening to have updates in animation. | |||
* The track on the Perfect Best 2 album has a slightly different audio mix compared to the original single. Said album also includes a ballad version of the song. | |||
* Oddly, in episodes before [[AG152]], during the shot of {{TRT}} and their current Pokémon waving, [[Jessie's Dustox]] is missing from the lineup. | |||
