===Synopsis===
The scenes in this ending alternate between Jessie, James, and dancing on a Team Rocket themed stage with their Pokémon and a scene with the trio in a forest recovering from their latest defeat. They sing about how despite being defeated once again, they have chosen to focus on the future instead of dwelling on their past failures. Filled with new energy they prepare themselves for their next big scheme.

==Trivia==
* The line "Our motivation is rising" is a play on words, as the word for "rising" is also the word for "forest", and the video shows a forest in the background.
** The line "Hope is facing toward us" is also a play on words, as the word for "facing" is similar to the word "peel", and they are shown peeling bananas in the video.
