Oooo
On the road x2
On the road to Viridian City (I'm on my way I'm on the road x2)
On the road to Viridian City (I'm on the road)
We've built a team and we've been
We're on the road and getting' strong (getting strong)
Now here's the plan:
We're gonna' head down to the forest
Time to collect some Pokemon (gotta catch them all x2)
We keep on tryin' (tryin')
And then we try some more
To stay together
And find a place worth fighting for
(I'm on the Road)
I'm on the road to Viridian City
Meet my friends along the way (I'm on the road)
We're on the road to Viridian City
I got a badge and the power to play
Gotta get there
I'm on my way
Gotta get there
Viridian City
I left my home and now I see a new horizon (horizon)
But one day I'll come back to Pallet Town (I'm comin back coming back)
I'm on the road to become the greatest trainer
And I won't quit until I'm #1
We keep on tryin' (tryin')
Then we try some more
We stay together and find a place worth fighting for
I'm on the road (to Viridian City)
Meet my friends along the way
I'm on the road to Viridian City
I'm on the road
I'm on the road to Viridian City (I'm on the road)
We're on the road to Viridian City (Viridian City)
Meet my friend (meet my friends) along the way (come on let's play)
We're on the road to Viridian City.
I got my badge and my power to play.
I'm on the road to Viridian City ( Viridian City)
Awaiting the challenge of another day
We're on the road to Viridian City ( Viridian City)
On the road to Viridian City.
On the road to Viridian City. x2
The lyrics of the Pokémon song Viridian City describe the journey of a trainer as they set out to catch Pokémon and become the greatest trainer. The song is written in a motivational tone, urging the listener to keep trying and never give up on their dreams.
The opening lines set the tone of the song by emphasizing the journey ahead: "On the road to Viridian City, I'm on my way, I'm on the road." The repetition of "I'm on the road" emphasizes the journey aspect of the song.
The lyrics also describe the importance of teamwork and determination in achieving success: "We've built a team and we've been training all day long, we're on the road and getting' strong." This line suggests that while individual effort is key, working together and supporting each other is equally important.
The lyrics also contain references to the game's mechanics, such as the need to catch all the Pokémon: "Time to collect some Pokemon, gotta catch them all." The mention of obtaining a badge and the power to play highlights the importance of progression in the game, motivating the player to keep going and achieve success.

@TheBlessedRed
Gen 1 brought me here.
20+ years after my first steps were taken...
Here again.
This time, to encourage the younger generations of aspiring pokemon masters to never give up.
From an old fire and dragon type trainer, just reminding you to shoot for the moon so that even if you fail, you will land among the stars.
And enjoy every second of your journey. Time passes much faster than you realize.
@animegx45
This song is longer than the actual road to Viridian City.
@philipspiroff196
ikr
@ladyselin35
+animegx45 Someone used repels :D
@NathanPKane
Unless you consider it as the hypothetical road that you have to the challenging of the Viridian City Gym, but that's kinda stretching it
@Alexander.Harrdarrzarr.
Road to Pokemon League started in Viridian City:)
@AxlTheScourge
not if ya do a montage from celadon city to viridian city without using fly :)
@CharlesDickens111
To clarify, the song is not referring to the short road from Pallet to Viridian, it's about the longer road from Cinnabar Island (7th badge) to the final badge all the way back at Viridian, which Ash had passed over in the early episodes. Now he's on the road to go back and get the final badge needed to enter the Pokémon League.
@miky9504
While interesting, the song sounds more like a young trainer's first route, right after leaving their town with their starter.
@widexawake_
@@miky9504 But we only hear the song in the Anime AFTER Cinnabar Island and Ash is excited for his final badge to qualify for the league. Regardless of how it "sounds," it's literally about how Ash needs to make his way back to Pallet and on to Viridian City.
@IwannatrywithKat
Also he says he's got the badge and the power to play.
