| <ab>Para ser um grande Mestre Pokémon
Tem que ter coragem e ser muito bom
E a Equipe Rocket desafiar
Se a jornada é longa a gente aguenta
Pois eu sei que tem mais de 150
E a grande batalha vamos conquistar
Vem, vem, vem aqui comigo
Vem, vem, vem correr perigo
Vem, vem, que a hora vai chegar
Pokémon, Pokémon, quanta emoção
Pokémon, Pokémon, todo Pokémon
Tem magia e poder
Pokémon, Pokémon, temos que pegar
Pokémon, Pokémon, quando encontrar
Um grande Mestre eu vou ser
Vem, vem, vem aqui comigo
Vem, vem, vem correr perigo
Vem, vem, que a hora vai chegar</ab>
| <ab>To be a great Pokémon Master
You have to have courage and be very good
And challenge the Team Rocket
If the journey is long we can endure it
Because I know there are more than 150
And the great battle we are going to conquer
Come, come, come here with me
Come, come, come run the risk
Come, come, because the time will come
Pokémon, Pokémon, so much emotion
Pokémon, Pokémon, every Pokémon
Has magic and power
Pokémon, Pokémon, gotta catch 'em all
Pokémon, Pokémon, when I find them
A great Master I will be
Come, come, come here with me
Come, come, come run the risk
Come, come, because the time will come
</ab>

At the start, Eliana and her background dancers are running indoors. Meanwhile, a boy and a girl are separately running in the woods. The two children meet each other and start watching Eliana on their Game Boy Colors.
At some point, Eliana repeatedly throws CGI-animated Poké Balls with her stylized "E" logo at the direction of the viewer. Two of these Poké Balls are exit the Game Boy Color screens and start floating in the air near the boy and girl. Although two children were wearing regular clothes up to this point, the Poké Balls glow and suddenly cause them to be wearing cosplays of and .
While the song continues, the children are seen running in the woods wearing their Ash and Misty cosplays. The Poké Ball with the Eliana logo is often used as a screen transition between scenes. This Poké Ball is also sometimes seen floating by itself in the woods. A blue version of this Poké Ball appears as well during some of the screen transitions.
At the end, the boy and girl are seen back in their regular clothes as they finish watching the music video.
