Pokémon!
Pokémon!
Pokémon...
...Let's do it
Like no one ever was (Ever was, ever was)
To catch them is my real test
To train them is my cause
My whole life has led to this
Time to test my skills
I know I just can't miss
Gonna show the world
Born to be a winner
(Johto)
Born to be a champion
Born to be a winner
Born to be the very best
(Pokémon Johto)
Born to be a winner
Pokémon!
Movie version
(Pokémon!...)
Let's do it
I wanna be the very best
Like no one ever was (no one ever was)
To catch them is my real test
To train them is my cause
My whole life has led to this
Time to test my skills
I know I just can't miss
Gonna show the world
Born to be a winner
Born to be a Champion
Born to be a winner
Born to be the very best
Born to be a winner!

Every challenge along the way
With courage I will face (courage I will face)
I will battle every day
To claim my rightful place
Come with me, the time is right
There's no better team (there's no better team!)
Arm in arm we'll win the fight
Gonna live our dream
Born to be a winner
Born to be a Champion
Born to be a winner
Born to be the very best (the very best)
(instrumental break)
I was born to be a winner
Born to be a Champion
Born to be a winner
Born to be the very best
Born to be a winner!
(born to be the very best)
Born to be a winner,
Pokémon!
