The clip begins with {{p|Mewtwo}} and a shining {{p|Mew}} floating in space, as the camera focuses on Earth, while the sun starts to rise. The next scene shows {{Ash}} alone in a stadium. After that, a {{AP|Squirtle}}, {{DL|Giselle|Cubone}} and {{AP|Pidgeotto}} are shown quickly, before changing to a {{AP|Bulbasaur}} being caught, to which Ash snaps excitedly. Shortly afterwards, the camera shows a {{AP|Haunter}} using {{m|Lick}} on {{AP|Charmander}}, paralyzing him.

Ash then flips his hat backwards and throws a [[Poké Ball]] to the camera. In the following scene, Ash can be seen running along with his {{AP|Pikachu}}, an {{p|Arcanine}} and a {{p|Rapidash}}, who then jumps to the skies, disappearing between the [[Legendary birds]], who are flying around. Then, a short clip of a {{DL|A.J.|Sandshrew}} unrolling itself, a {{TP|Sabrina|Kadabra}} and Charmander is shown, followed by Ash and Pikachu sitting on a {{p|Lapras}}, as they watch a {{p|Gyarados}} jumping out of the water, and a {{p|Dragonair}} jumping in. After that, a Poké Ball is seen trapping [[Ash's Caterpie|a Pokémon]] who has turned into red energy.

A battle between Pikachu and {{TP|Lt. Surge|Raichu}} is seen, with the former dodging a {{m|Body Slam}} of the latter; and then, a {{AP|Caterpie}} bracing for an {{TP|Jessie|Ekans}}' and a {{TP|James|Koffing}}'s incoming attack. In the next scene, Ash is seen hugging his Pikachu, followed by a giant {{p|Tentacruel}} attacking a building. Ash then is seen holding a Poké Ball; followed by an {{TP|Brock|Onix}}. Later, Ash appears to be looking at the screen, when {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} appear on either side of him, followed by [[Jessie]] and [[James]] rising up in front of them. Koffing, {{MTR}} and Ekans jump up next, followed by {{Gary}} holding a Poké Ball.

A thick mist clears and Ash, Serena, Clemont, and Bonnie are shown standing on a hill. Ash and Pikachu are shown while the scene splits diagonally, with the other half showing Ash and Pikachu eating sandwiches. The next scene shows Serena while the scene splits diagonally, with the other half showing Serena and her Fennekin while she chooses between two hats. She throws the red hat away and wears the pink hat. Clemont and Bonnie are then shown and the scene splits diagonally, with the other half showing Clemont fixing one of his inventions while Bonnie chases after Chespin and Dedenne. His invention explodes and Bonnie lies on the floor.<br/>

Serena is shown while Fennekin uses {{m|Ember}}. Ash is then shown while Froakie shoots {{m|Water Pulse}}, and Fletchling uses {{m|Steel Wing}}. Pikachu finally uses {{m|Electro Ball}}. Lucario is (briefly) seen [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolving]]. Ash and his friends are running outside a restaurant.<br/>

The "Pokémon Gotta catch 'em all!" logo is shown while the following scenes are in the background (the logo is not present in certain international versions). Two Vivillon and three Swanna are flying in the sky near a grape tree. A school of Luvdisc, a school of Remoraid, a Gorebyss, Octillery and Mantyke are swimming in the ocean. Two Furret are in a garden of flowers while four Swanna fly in the sky. A town near the pier is drizzling. A Parasol Lady, a lady with a female Meowstic, and a Quagsire holding a leaf to shield itself from the rain are in the town as well. Three Wooper and a Ducklett are on the pier. A Lotad and a Lombre are in the water, while a Magikarp leaps out of the water. Several Pidgey soar into the sky. The "Gotta catch 'em all!" slogan disappears, and "the Series XY" appears below the "Pokémon" logo.

===Trivia===
===Trivia===
* When the Lucario is Mega Evolving, Lucario cannot be clearly seen, although it can be partly seen in a single frame of the shot. The Mega Evolution logo can be clearly seen, though.

* Although the switch to widescreen occurred [[DP121|over 200 episodes ago]], this is the first dub opening that features the intro credits outside of a 4:3 ratio. This was done because before this point, many networks still cropped the 16:9 episodes to a 4:3 ratio.

* Despite the amount of companies [[:Category:Pokémon around the world|around the globe]] changing their dubbing staff or dubbing company altogether, which leads into inconsistencies and errors within the different translations of the [[Pokémon anime]], all of the dub lyrics of this song are consistent with their respective [[Pokémon Theme#Opening animation: Dub OP 1|season 1 counterpart]] from each language.

** The only exception to this is the [[Pokémon in Russia|Russian version]], as its current dub (which picked up from [[S10|season 10]]) is completely unaffiliated with the original one (which ceased midway through [[S02|season 2]]).

** While the TV version only includes the first verse of the original song and skips the second, the lyrics in the [[Pokémon in Denmark|Danish version]] were altered to commingle the first two verses of the original song into one instead. The lyrics from the original song were not restored for the movie version; instead, the first verse was kept as-is from the TV version, and the second verse was re-translated.

** The {{pmin|Italy|Italian}} dub featured [[Pokémon (song)|a different, original song]] as the first season opening, though a translation of the Pokémon Theme was made for [[M01|the first movie]]. Despite this, a new translation was made years later for re-runs, the lyrics of which were also used for the XY version.
