Lyrics

TV version

Pokémon!
No time to question my moves
I stick to the path that I choose
Me and my friends are gonna do it right
You'll never see us run away from a fight

To be a Master is my dream,
All I've got to do is believe

(And I believe!)

I've got a chance to win
I'm on my way to victory
Pokémon!
I can be a Champion if I just believe
I'm on a Master Quest
(Master Quest)
I want the whole world to see
(And I believe!)
I'm gonna be the very best,
'Cause all I've got to do is believe in me.

Pokémon!

Ending version

There's no time to question my moves
I stick to the path that I choose
Me and my friends are gonna do it right

To be a Master is my dream,
All I've got to do is believe

(And I believe!)

I'm on a Master Quest
(Master Quest)
I want the whole world to see
(And I believe!)
I'm gonna be the very best,
'Cause all I've got to do is believe in me.

Pokémon!

Movie version

No time to question my moves
I stick to the path that I choose
Me and my friends are gonna do it right
You'll never see us run away from a fight

To be a Master is my dream,
All I've got to do is believe

(And I believe!)

I've got a chance to win
I'm on my way to victory
Pokémon!
I can be a Champion if I just believe
I'm on a Master Quest
(Master Quest)
I want the whole world to see
(And I believe!)
I'm gonna be the very best
'Cause all I've got to do is believe in me.

(And I believe!)

Pokémon!

I'm on a Master Quest
(Master Quest)
I want the whole world to see

No time to question my moves
I stick to the path that I choose
Me and my friends are gonna do it right
You'll never see us run away from a fight

(And I believe!)

I've got a chance to win
I'm on my way to victory
Pokémon!
I can be a Champion if I just believe
I'm on a Master Quest
(Master Quest)
I want the whole world to see
(And I believe!)
I'm gonna be the very best
'Cause all I've got to do is believe in me.
