Lyrics

It's about you,
It's about me,
It's about hope,
It's about dreams.
It's about friends that work together,
To claim their destiny.

It's about reaching for the sky,
(Pokémon)
Having the courage,
And willing to try.

It's about never giving up,
So hold your head up,
And we will carry on,
(Sinnoh League Victors)
Pokémon!

Opening animation spoilers

• Ash's Monferno evolving into an Infernape.
• Ash's Grotle evolving into a Torterra.
• Dawn obtaining a Togekiss.
• Nando, Kenny, Ursula and Jessilina entering the Sinnoh Grand Festival.
• Barry, Conway and Nando qualifying for the Sinnoh League.

Trivia

• This is the second dub opening not to use any clips from any episode, only using clips from the Japanese opening The Greatest - Everyday!. The original version of Unbeatable had no clips, but was eventually edited to remove clips featuring unrevealed Pokémon.
• Due to We Will Carry On! and The Greatest - Everyday! debuting on the same episode, this marks the only time that the Japanese and dub openings changed in the same episode that didn't come at the same time as a new series.
