Pikachu uses {{m|Quick Attack}} on Registeel, Swellow hits Regice, and Regirock shoots a beam near Ash. However, he appears confident.

{{an|May}} twirls through the air, throwing a [[Poké Ball]]. {{TP|May|Combusken}} comes out and uses {{m|Fire Spin}}. {{TP|May|Beautifly}}, [[May's Skitty|Skitty]], and [[May's Bulbasaur|Bulbasaur]] soar through the fire.

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.

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.

==Trivia==
[[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!]]''.
