=Synopsis=
A single spotlight shines on [[Ash Ketchum|Ash]], who has a serious look on his face. The darkness behind him becomes light, and the camera pans out to show him and [[May]] in a [[tag battle]] using [[Ash's Pikachu|Pikachu]] and [[May's Combusken|Combusken]]. Pikachu avoids {{p|Hariyama}}'s {{m|Cross Chop}}<!-- ? --> and uses {{m|Thunderbolt}} on it. Combusken is lifted off the ground by {{p|Gardevoir}}'s {{m|Psychic}}<!-- ? -->, but hits Gardevoir with a {{m|Flamethrower}}.


Ash, May, [[Brock]], [[Max]], and all their Pokémon run down a dirt road toward the camera.

The screen splits to show the faces of May and [[Drew]], both looking serious. May holds a [[Poké Ball]] and Drew holds a rose. May then twirls with [[May's Beautifly|Beautifly]] flying around her. Drew jumps backward, throwing a rose, and {{p|Roselia}} twirls in front of him.
===Synopsis===
[[File:OPJ08 Deoxys.png|thumb|left|250px|Deoxys and the legendary birds]]
{{Ash}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} stand on a cliff overlooking a mountainous region. The series logo comes together in different colors to form one.


Max appears with his [[PokéNav]].
{{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}}, and {{p|Registeel}} burst out of the ground in a dark stadium. Ash orders his Pokémon, {{AP|Corphish}}, {{AP|Torkoal}}, {{AP|Grovyle}}, {{AP|Swellow}}, and Pikachu, to attack. Pikachu uses {{m|Quick Attack}} on Registeel, Swellow hits Regice, and Regirock shoots a beam near Ash. However, he appears confident.


Ash and Pikachu stand on a tall rock, looking at the night sky. The aurora is active. {{p|Rayquaza}} flies past.
{{an|May}} twirls through the air, throwing a {{i|Poké Ball}}. {{TP|May|Combusken}} comes out and uses {{m|Fire Spin}}. {{TP|May|Beautifly}}, {{TP|May|Skitty}}, and {{TP|May|Bulbasaur}} soar through the fire.


[[Professor Oak]] appears, with [[Tracey]] and [[Delia Ketchum|Delia]] behind him.
A large group of Pokémon stand on a vast hillside. {{p|Celebi}} flies past. Dozens of Pokémon swim through the sea, and {{p|Lugia}} flies past. Even more Pokémon run across a grassy hill while others fly through the air.


[[Nurse Joy]] and [[Officer Jenny]] start to pose, but Brock jumps between them, surprising them. Max falls down onto Brock's shoulders and pulls on his ears.
{{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}}'s silhouette is seen in the entrance to a dark alleyway. He jumps into the air, out of sight.


[[Team Rocket]] flies up into the sky, obviously displeased.
{{TRT}} digs a horizontal hole underground. However, a group of {{p|Aron}}, {{p|Lairon}}, and {{p|Aggron}} chase them the opposite way.


Ash and Pikachu stand under a waterfall while May, Brock, and Max watch. May appears to sigh in exasperation.
{{an|Brock}} runs with a bouquet of roses through various silhouettes of young women. He tries to give the bouquet to one of them, but it turns into {{TP|May|Munchlax}}, who eats the flowers; May and [[Max]] sigh.


Ash holds an injured Pikachu.
Ash sits alone in a playground. It is raining. He has a disappointed look on his face. Suddenly, he looks up, and Pikachu smiles at him. Then May, Max, and Brock also smile. Pikachu jumps into Ash's arms and May wipes away a tear.


The series logo is shown, then a still shot of Ash, May, Brock, Max, and Pikachu appears.
{{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} attack each other while {{p|Mew}} and {{p|Jirachi}} fly past. Meanwhile, {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, and {{p|Suicune}} run up a series of pillars while {{p|Latias}} and {{p|Latios}} fly past. {{p|Rayquaza}} shoots a beam while flying through smoke caused by Groudon and Kyogre's battle. {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, and {{p|Moltres}} fly up the side of some ruins; Ash and Pikachu are standing at the top. They turn to watch the birds fly away. {{p|Deoxys}}, in its Normal form, shoots past, turning into its Speed form. It and the birds fly through the night sky, and {{p|Ho-Oh}} joins them.

==Trivia==
===Errors===
[[File:OPJ08 Mewtwo.png|thumb|200px|The silhouette]]
* Even though the silhouette in the alleyway is most likely {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}}, [[Pokémon.com]] erroneously said the shadowy Pokémon figure was the Red Lightning {{p|Scizor}} from ''[[AG166|Curbing the Crimson Tide]]'', which had not aired yet at that time.
* This is the only opening that does not feature onscreen lyrics in any instance. The song is mostly instrumental, and the lyrics only include a verse from both [[Advance Adventure]] and [[Aim to Be a Pokémon Master]].
* Pokémon Symphonic Medley 2 was used both in the end of the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]] depicted in ''[[DP177|A Grand Fight for Winning!]]'', and the beginning of the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]] depicted in ''[[DP182|An Old Family Blend!]]''.
